Being controlled by others in an instant, Li Fan was shocked in his heart, but he showed no sign of weakness.
Also asked: "Retrograde boat?"
His eyes were fixed on the slovenly man's shoulder, and the wooden boat looked brand new.
The sloppy man smiled dumbly and let Li Fan go.
"As expected of a disciple of Duke Shouqiu, his knowledge is indeed extraordinary." He didn't mean to hide it at all and openly admitted the identity of the treasure in his hand.
"Shou Qiu Gong..." Li Fan silently recited this familiar yet unfamiliar name in his heart, and many images flashed through his mind. At the same time, Li Fan also noticed something unusual about his body.
After entering this painting and recalling the past, I don't know why I don't have the tingling feeling in my skull. It seems that I can browse the past memories to my heart's content.
But the intuition in his heart told Li Fan that if he did this, the end would definitely not be much better.
The strong sense of contradiction made Li Fan instinctively feel the weirdness of this place.
Seeing Li Fan's silence, the slovenly man was not angry, but changed the question: "Since you are a disciple of Shouqiu, you should look down on my retrograde boat. Why are you here, little brother?"
"I thought I would never see anyone else again in this life." The sloppy man said sadly.
Li Fan noticed that although he brought a lot of life into the painting, it seemed that all of it was absorbed by the retrograde boat. But the slovenly man who was the owner of the retrograde boat did not get even half a cent. It was still the same as before.
appearance.
Although his appearance was that of middle age, he revealed an indescribable air of death.
Li Fan, who has a lot of vitality in his body, is naturally extremely sensitive to vitality.
During this period of silence, he was finally convinced that the sloppy man in front of him was not a real creature. Instead, he was just a projection or something like that.
However, Li Fan did not take it lightly.
After all, the strength that the sloppy man showed just now is really scary. It's just an illusion, but it has such oppressive power. It's hard to imagine what the sloppy man was like in his heyday.
"The Great Way of Immortality, Disciple of Shouqiu."
"Could this be the source of endless vitality in my body?" Li Fan vaguely recalled more.
Since the other party did not show any obvious hostility, Li Fan planned to push further and test more.
He said solemnly: "Sir, you are overgeneralizing a bit. Disciple Shouqiu, why can't we covet treasures like the retrograde boat? Turning back time, what a chance it is! It may not be under the path of immortality!"
Hearing this, the slovenly man looked at Li Fan in surprise.
Then I didn't know what I thought of, so I smiled with relief. Then I directly threw the wooden boat in my arms over.
"Shouqiu Gong must be trapped in the [Eternal Silence Realm], so he only preaches the Taoist tradition and the Wuxia followers. Take a look at this retrograde boat. Is it as miraculous as you imagined?"
Since the opponent dared to throw it, Li Fan dared to catch it.
With the most precious retrograde boat in hand, I began to observe it carefully.
As if sensing the endless vitality in Li Fan's body, the treasure boat became more and more greedy, like a black hole, trying to grab it. Li Fan did not completely isolate the transmission of vitality, but consciously continued to flow out tiny streams of vitality. At the same time,
With the help of this ray of vitality, the situation inside the retrograde boat can be sensed.
He has always been very curious as to why this treasure, which is said to be able to reverse time, is like the creatures in the world and needs vitality to maintain its existence.
However, the wooden boat, which was as big as a palm, was as heavy as a mountain. Li Fan used all his strength to barely hold it. His thoughts followed the flowing vitality and entered the inside of the treasure boat.
I found that the condition inside the retrograde boat was even worse than the outside.
Shocking cracks were spread throughout every corner of the treasure boat, like horrific scars. Through these cracks, Li Fan vaguely saw countless scenes that did not belong to this time and space.
Li Fan vaguely realized in his heart that this was not his illusion. These pictures were by no means just virtual images. If he accidentally fell into these cracks, he might really get lost in the turbulence of time and space.
To avoid these extremely dangerous gaps, Li Fan thought and tried to locate the direction of life in the entire retrograde boat.
Affected by the widespread space-time rifts, his sense of life became confused. It took him a lot of effort to finally figure it out.
"Retrograde, retrograde."
Li Fan squatted down and gently touched the deck of the treasure boat with his hand, thinking thoughtfully: "Although it seems to be just an object, it is actually a living being. Going upstream also costs one's lifespan and even the power of time.
After being washed away, the cost is more than a thousand times. Moreover, in addition to vitality, it seems that other things are also consumed..."
Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
From his perspective, this retrograde boat was like a dying old man. Although he tried his best to absorb the vitality from the outside world and maintain himself, at best, he could only barely breathe. Moreover, it was difficult to say that this was the case.
How long can the life expectancy last?
If Li Fan hadn't come here today and contributed a lot of vitality, one day, this shocking fairy treasure would have quietly disappeared without a trace along with this painting.
"How could this be?"
Li Fan was inevitably a little disappointed.
I thought I had found information about a treasure that could reverse time, but I never thought that this treasure was actually in a completely damaged state after being severely overdrawn.
After checking it several times and confirming this fact, Li Fan mentally withdrew from the retrograde boat.
"How? Even if I give this treasure boat to you, what will you do? I'm afraid you'll drown in the long river of time before you return to the target time point..." The sloppy man said with a half-smile.
Unexpectedly, Li Fan did not follow the routine at all and said directly: "Yes. Of course I want it."
"Even a retrograde boat that is about to be damaged represents an opportunity to survive. No matter how slim the hope of success is, it is the only chance of survival when you are in a desperate situation." Li Fan said with a serious expression.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The sloppy man was stunned, and the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly disappeared.
After a long silence, he said in a faint tone: "What you said is correct."
"If Xuanyuan Hong had had this awareness at the beginning, he would not have left the retrograde boat here."
When Li Fan heard the familiar name, he immediately followed the other person's words and asked: "Xuanyuan Hong... is he the Xuantian King in the Xuanhuang Realm? Could it be that he has the past achievements because of the glory of this retrograde boat?"
The slovenly man's eyes showed nostalgia, and he shook his head slightly and said: "In my opinion, the reason why Xuanyuan Hong got to that point is three-thirds of it depends on luck, and three-thirds of it depends on his own hard work. The remaining four points, the boat can only go backwards.
It accounts for half. As for the remaining half..."
"The mountains and sea fisheries have contributed a lot." The slovenly man looked away from the painting.
"Mountain and Sea Fishing Ground?" Li Fan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party should be talking about the fishing pond.
"But what does it mean to name it after a mountain or a sea?"
In a trance, the scene of endless ocean and rolling mountains suddenly jumped into Li Fan's mind. Together with the vision of mountains and seas, there was also endless light and heat. Countless possibilities were melted in the blazing light.
scene.
It seems that we are one step closer to fully recovering our memory.
At this critical moment, the slovenly man pressed Li Fan's shoulder with another palm.
It brought Li Fan back to reality from the fantasy of memories.
Li Fan was shocked to realize that he was in a dangerous situation in reality.
Whether it is the clone in the Xuanhuang Realm or the original self in the Daxuan Small World.
The heads have exploded.
Even most of his body was gradually evaporating from top to bottom because of the shock caused by the mountain and sea phenomenon. Even the "Path of Immortality" in his body could not stop this trend of disappearance.
If the sloppy man hadn't woken him up in time, I'm afraid Li Fan would have turned into a phantom in just a short time.
"There seems to be something wrong with your state?" The slovenly man looked at Li Fan with some surprise.
Li Fan cupped his hands: "Senior, I really have a unique insight. To be honest, I seem to have gone wrong during my practice, and most of my past memories have disappeared. I can barely recall some, and my body will suffer a strong backlash. From a mortal
I have been struggling all the way to the present day. It is all based on instinct and the help of the Tao of Immortality in my body."
"As for what you said, senior, Duke Shouqiu..."
"I do have some impressions. But I also remember some vague images." Li Fan said, showing a lonely figure guarding a hill and looking at the sea in front of the slovenly man.
When the slovenly man saw Duke Shouqiu, his expression immediately became solemn as a sign of respect.
Then he observed Li Fan carefully, and then said slowly: "The avenue of immortality in your body is indeed controlled by Duke Shouqiu. Since Duke Shouqiu is here, you can't do anything fake."
"However, I was lucky enough to listen to Duke Shou Qiu explain some of this Shanhai Dao. But I don't know the specific situation very well. I can't help you much."
"But don't worry too much. With the blessing of the Avenue of Immortality, even if this world is annihilated, you will still be safe and sound." There was a bit of envy in the sloppy man's tone.
Li Fan heard this and nodded: "Thank you, senior, for your advice. By the way, you still don't know your senior's name?"
The slovenly man waved his hand: "The names of dead people are just like the smoke in the past, so why bother mentioning them again?"
Li Fan replied: "One day, when I recover my memory and return to Master, I will definitely explain what happened today to Master. Although my predecessor died, there is still such a shadow in the world after all. With Master's magical power, it may not be possible
You cannot turn the dead and reincarnate."
The sloppy man seemed to have no hope.
But after a while, something came to mind and I changed my mind.
"I am the Taitian Emperor of the Immortal Realm."
"I have been in power for thousands of years without being disturbed, and then I retired to seclusion. When the Taoist annihilation came and became more and more serious, I secretly sought a solution. The Lanke Dojo here was built under my leadership." The slovenly man said calmly.
Said.
The Hidden Emperor of the Immortal Realm, the Lanke Dojo, the Catastrophe of Tao Oblivion...
Every time he said a keyword, it triggered a large number of memories in Li Fan's mind.
It took a long time to barely recover from the severe injury.
The look Li Fan looked at the sloppy man at this moment was different.
"Senior, since he once served as the ruling Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm, he must have also contributed to good fortune. Why did he end up in this situation?" Although the words were a bit unpleasant, Li Fan spoke frankly and full of questions.
He raised the retrograde boat in his hand: "But what's the reason for this thing?"
Emperor Taitian nodded: "This is one of them. But the most important thing is that my cultivation is not enough and I have fallen short."
He sighed, seemingly lost in reminiscing about the past.
After a long while, he continued: "Your spiritual thoughts entered this treasure boat just now. Have you ever sensed the vitality of this boat?"
"I have indeed noticed it. This treasure seems to be a real thing."
"That's because this retrograde boat is made of my body." Emperor Taitian smiled.
Li Fan couldn't help but look shocked when he heard this.
He looked at the sloppy man in front of him and made sure he wasn't telling a joke.
"But there are rumors in the world that the retrograde boat was made by the so-called Ni Immortal..."
"Oh? Reverse Immortal? I have never heard of it. But there may not be only one retrograde boat in the world. As long as you understand the way of retrograde, it is not impossible to build a new one." Emperor Taitian
His face was calm.
"Understand the path of retrograde?" Li Fan seemed to have thought of something.
"King Xuantian?"
Emperor Taitian was noncommittal: "I am just a lonely wild ghost. How can I know everything about the outside world? But if anyone else in this world can build a retrograde boat, I think Xuanyuan Hong is the most likely one.
After all, at the time of separation, his understanding of the way of retrograde had already become quite mature."
Li Fan remained silent.
"Some things can only be understood after experiencing them. For example, perhaps most of the things in the world can be changed by reversing time. But it is the very small part that cannot be changed that ultimately determines the final outcome of the long river of time.
"
"No matter how you change the direction of the long river of time, in the end, the surging water will still merge into the calm vast ocean."
"Without the power to change the entire ocean, even reversing time would be nothing but a futile struggle." Emperor Taitian said calmly.
Li Fan listened to the other party's words and felt a faint sense of familiarity.
It seems that I have had similar thoughts.
"It has nothing to do with the end."
Four big characters could not help but emerge in my mind, which corresponded to the picture painted by Emperor Taitian.
"Although I was once an Immortal Emperor, there are so many Immortal Emperors in the Immortal World?"
"How many people can be as transcendent as Shou Qiu Gong?"
"As a disciple of Shouqiu, you have obtained the Great Way of Immortality. You already have the foundation for transcendence. But I don't know how much better it is than ordinary immortal emperors."
Although he had been praised so much by Emperor Tai Tian, Li Fan not only did not feel honored, but felt uncomfortable in his heart.
It seems that he does not particularly recognize the identity of Shouqiu disciple.
"strangeness."
"Could it be..."
Li Fan suppressed the strange thoughts in his heart and asked according to Emperor Taitian's words: "A person like Master should have the power to change the entire ocean as the senior said?"
"It's just that there is a slight possibility. In the eternal silence of the virtual world, I am afraid that even the guardian Qiu Gong will have a hard time."
