Chapter 187 - 187: 173 – Reflecting Thousands of Years in a Glance
“Why is it called the Fallen Immortal Realm?”
“It’s because, its formation is merely due to an unimaginably powerful entity, that took its last gaze at the Xuanhuang World before falling.”
“At that moment, every existence and scenario in the Xuanhuang World was etched in his eyes.”
“After his fall, this thought lingered. Through many thousands of years of development and evolution, the Fallen Immortal Realm of today was finally formed.”
“The Fallen Immortal Realm is as immense as the Xuanhuang World, if not even more so.”
“Scenarios from thousands of years ago were captured in his last gaze before his fall.”
“And then, they came to life within it, repeatedly playing out.”
“All cultivators who have entered the Fallen Immortal Realm are shocked and awed by this brilliant spectacle indistinguishable from the real world, deeply sensing and pondering on the power of that entity.”
“Only the legendary [Immortals] are presumably capable of such power.”
“Even though I have entered the realm countless times, every viewing of the Fallen Immortal Realm still instills in me genuine reverence.”
“The shock it delivers is beyond words. One can only understand when one sees it with their own eyes.”
Chen Ying shook his head, filled with enunciation.
“A glimpse lasts for ten thousand years, the fall forms a world of its own.” Li Fan was utterly stunned by this inconceivable truth.
After a long silence, he couldn’t help but wonder:
Such formidable power in a mere final gaze before death.
How powerful was he when he was alive?
How could such a personage have fallen?
Seizing upon his confusion, Chen Ying joined him in contemplation. “Unbelievable, isn’t it? Such an unimaginable entity, yet capable of falling.”
“Creating a world with a single thought, something even Immortal Sovereign probably couldn’t achieve.”
“Therefore, everyone unanimously believed the entity that fell back then was possibly a True Immortal.”
“Immortal? Do Immortals truly exist?” Li Fan couldn’t help but ask.
But Chen Ying was very certain. “Cultivation, cultivating immortality. Without
Immortals, where do our cultivation techniques come from?”
“If you are able to visit the Fallen Immortal World, live within the Xuanhuang World from thousands of years ago, you will understand, immortality, isn’t just an elusive concept.”
“There are paintings preserved within many sects, displaying the ascension through the Tribulation Clouds of the predecessors during the day.”
“It’s said that even some major sects have immortal instruments handed down by Immortals themselves, their power is boundless.”
“However, no one knows when exactly the path to immortality was severed.
Once cultivators reach the Realm of Unification, they can no longer progress.”
“Thus, cultivators who have achieved immense cultivation could only watch in horror as their lifespan depleted, awaiting death.”
“Later, for self-preservation, the ultimate goal of cultivators is no longer ascension but the pursuit of longevity.”
“This is the origin of the ‘Longevity’ realm.”
As Chen Ying spoke, he shook his head and sighed. “This history is too ancient. Even in the Fallen Immortal Realm from thousands of years ago, it existed merely as a legend. So, whatever transpired back then, and why the immortality was suddenly severed, is no longer known to anyone.” Li Fan slowly nodded.
After that, Chen Ying explained to Li Fan in detail how to enter the Fallen Immortal Realm, and what to pay attention to while exploring within. “Remember, never attempt until you’ve reached the Golden Core Realm!” Chen
Ying reminded him once again before leaving.
Li Fan promised wholeheartedly.
Later, Chen Ying, in a hurry to return to his research on refining the elixir recipe, left for Ten Thousand Immortals Island first.
Without any delay, Li Fan also returned swiftly to the Tianxuan Mirror.
Now that he knew of the fascinating existence of the Fallen Immortal Realm, how could Li Fan not give it a try?
Having experienced the reincarnations of hundreds of lives, the strength of his divine consciousness was far beyond any ordinary Foundation Establishment Phase cultivator.
However, just to play safe, Li Fan conducted some tests in the Tianxuan Mirror.
With the transformation of the scenarios around him, figures made of straw suddenly appeared.
Li Fan flung his divine consciousness towards these straw figures that appeared in sequence.
Once hit by his divine consciousness, the originally withered straw figures instantly changed color.
From yellow to green, then to blue.
Once all the straw figures were colored, they disappeared together.
After the scenario returned to normal, the test results soon emerged.
The current strength of Li Fan’s divine consciousness was equivalent to a cultivator at the final stage of the Golden Core.
“My divine consciousness is a full realm ahead of my cultivation level…” Li Fan was not surprised.
“In this case, I won’t need to worry about my divine consciousness not being strong enough.”
“In the Fallen Immortal Realm, the speed of time differs from the real world. Even within different regions of the Fallen Immortal Realm, the speed of time varies.”
“But, in general terms, it’s much faster than the real world.”
“Every time you enter the Fallen Immortal Realm, your appearance’s location is randomly determined.”
“So, there will be different experiences.”
“Some are thousands of years of repeating cycles of the same history. After a period, the scenes within a region will reset.”
“While some are constantly developing for thousands of years, forming all kinds of strange and wondrous alterations.”
“Anyway, it’s a world formed from the consciousness before the fall. Therefore, all kinds of unimaginable things could happen in the Fallen Immortal Realm.”
“There’s no risk of falling. Certain conditions must be met to bring back items obtained in the Fallen Immortal Realm to reality.”
“You can forcibly exit midway, without suffering any harm.”
“But, just like when exiting with acquired items, you’ll need to wait for a while before you can enter the Fallen Immortal Realm again.”
Li Fan couldn’t find any related information about the Fallen Immortal Realm in the Tianxuan Mirror.
He could only repeatedly recite the precautions for exploring that Chen Ying had mentioned, in his mind.
At the same time, he purchased more than ten sets of items required for entering the Fallen Immortal Realm every time.
Not that Li Fan was being careless, but this set of things was just too cheap.
The total of more than ten sets did not even cost two hundred contribution points.
There were four items in each set.
A piece of ordinary linen cloth.
A full ear of rice.
A small and exquisite house model.
A tiny, lifelike donkey cart.
The four items were each placed at the four corners.
Li Fan took a deep breath, stepped forward, facing the direction of linen, he softly chanted:
“Blessing Lifespan Xuan Huang Immortal.”
The second step, he turned toward the full ear of rice, sincerely chanted:
“Blessing Lifespan Xuan Huang Heavenly Monarch.”
The third step, looking at the delicate house, he held his breath and whispered:
“Blessing Lifespan Xuan Huang God.”
The fourth step, he looked at the cart that seemed full of cargo. Li Fan exhaled his impurity-filled breath and with sincerity, he chanted:
“Blessing Lifespan Xuan Huang Respectful Deity.”
The moment the ceremony was completed, Li Fan felt an abrupt silence around him.
Even though he was originally within the TianXuan Mirror, where there was no sound at all, he still felt a palpable silence.
Distinctly different from what it was before.
Then, it was as if a bottle full of silver had burst open.
In an instance, countless sounds rang in Li Fan’s ears.
The cries of infants, the howls of mortals, the furious shouts of cultivators…
Magical force lines crossing, mountains shaking and earth quaking, winds blowing and rain pouring…
His vision turned black, as if his head was forcefully covered with a sack.
Li Fan lost consciousness suddenly..
