Chapter 1920: Chapter 1516: Becoming One with Mountain Sea (Part 2)

As if wanting to speak but stopping short.

This made Li Fan feel even more uneasy.

After carefully pondering Hai Zhen’s intent, Li Fan realized that even Hai Zhen hadn’t witnessed the numerous changes occurring after the fusion of the three.

Thus, he observed with curiosity.

As time passed, the feeling of being devoured grew stronger for Li Fan.

In his spirit consciousness, all kinds of illusions began to appear without reason.

Li Fan was sure that these were definitely not from his own memories.

They seemed like events that had happened in the Mountain and Sea World before.

The manifestation appeared externally as Li Fan’s physical body began to assimilate with the surrounding world.

The most evident was the deliberate or inadvertent forgetting of Li Fan by Bearing the Dao.

Not long ago, he would often come to find Li Fan to discuss insights on the Eternal Life Path.

But gradually, he seemed to forget he even had this junior disciple.

Each time he instinctively wanted to act, he was momentarily confused, unable to remember what he planned to do next until Li Fan appeared in front of him, and only then he reluctantly recalled.

Yet, Bearing the Dao himself seemed unaware of anything strange.

If Bearing the Dao was like this, other living beings were even worse.

As the creator of the Primordial Immortal Realm, the current Heavenly Emperor, and the Sky Traces in this world, all had completely forgotten Li Fan. Even the connection between Li Fan and this Heaven and Earth of the Primordial Immortal Realm had been severed.

It seemed as if the Primordial Immortal Realm was born innately, completely unrelated to Li Fan.

As the traces left by “Li Fan” in the Mortal World slowly disappeared, he increasingly merged into the Mountain and Sea World.

Not limited to primordial possibilities.

Li Fan looked up at the Vault of Heaven, where the solid sky had somehow been split open with numerous tiny cracks. Through these cracks, it seemed possible to see the endless Mountain Sea landscape.

And Li Fan, if he desired, could step out to the Mountain Sea at any time!

The opportunity for transcendence was right in front of him.

An instinctive desire surged within Li Fan’s heart.

But the continuous warnings from his spiritual sense prevented him from taking that final step.

“I can’t stay any longer.”

In a moment of clarity, Li Fan thought to himself.

The illusion brought by being devoured by the Mountain Sea caused Li Fan to almost misjudge the passage of time.

Remembering clearly, only a few days had passed since he received guidance from Bearing the Dao and comprehended the Eternal Life Path.

But when Li Fan finally went before Hai Zhen to check out the Sea of the Northern Stars’ situation, he was shocked to discover that ten years had passed in the world!

Li Fan shook his head, trying to rid himself of the disorientation caused by the Mountain Sea’s devouring.

Calming down, Li Fan silently chanted: “Hai Zhen!”

The Mortal World seemed to have fallen into stagnation.

Li Fan waited for darkness to engulf him.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths…

Yet, the familiar darkness did not descend.

As if being doused with a basin of icy cold water in winter, Li Fan silently chanted again: “Hai Zhen!”

“Hai Zhen!”

“Hai Zhen!”

…

But, Hai Zhen seemed to be ineffective.

Or perhaps it had left him.

There was no reaction at all.

A profound fear arose in Li Fan’s heart, even far surpassing the fear of being devoured by the Mountain Sea.

His face gradually became twisted, and Li Fan roared repeatedly in anger.

Not just in his heart, but he angrily bellowed in reality.

But it was as if he had been forgotten by the Mortal World, with nothing and no one responding to him.

In despair, a surge of fury rose in his heart.

Li Fan used Divine Technique, trying to destroy the Star Sea to vent his frustration. But not only did his magic fail, even his divine sense and physical body could no longer make contact with reality.

Vanished from the Mortal World, integrated into the Mountain Sea.

Li Fan didn’t feel his body becoming transparent or fading.

Yet slowly, he was no longer in this world.

The cracks in the sky increased in number.

The next step seemed to be being involuntarily sucked in, to enter the Mountain Sea.

“Is this, my final destiny?”

When there was nothing he could do to change his ultimate fate, Li Fan instead became calm.

In his heart, he vaguely felt something was off.

But he couldn’t articulate what was strange.

Until half of his body had entered the crack.

Li Fan truly witnessed the vastness of the Mountain Sea outside the Mortal World, and only then did he suddenly awaken.

Has Hai Zhen really left me?

If the loss of Hai Zhen were true, it would merely be the Eternal Life Path and the Mountain Sea Path. How could it maintain such a state, being consumed by the mountains and seas?

It’s likely that it would have been escaped long ago.

Only under the fusion of the three paths can one naturally integrate into the mountains and seas. Otherwise, even a transcendental state, or the realm of the Three Saints, cannot achieve this.

Simple logical reasoning suddenly made Li Fan snap awake.

“I have not lost Hai Zhen.”

As if finding the last straw to clutch at, Li Fan’s originally calm and indifferent eyes, devoid of any fluctuation, suddenly burst into a glimmer of hope.

“Judging from the previous performance of Hai Zhen at the Infinite Ocean Floor, and the proactive imparting of the Illusion as Reality methods. He definitely does not wish for me to be discovered by the mountains and seas now.”

“If the previous fusion of the three paths was just because Hai Zhen was curious, then there is no reason for him to remain indifferent while I am about to be completely consumed by the mountains and seas.”

Li Fan’s thoughts spun faster and faster.

The blurred sense of time flow returned to normal as he pondered.

“So, it’s not that Hai Zhen isn’t responding to me.”

“But rather…”

“The connection between him and me has been severed.”

“Or perhaps he didn’t hear my Hai Zhen command.”

Enlightenment surged up in Li Fan’s heart.

“As long as Hai Zhen still exists, everything can be saved.”

“If shouting doesn’t get a response, then kick the door down!”

Li Fan had completely entered the crevice of the mountains and seas.

The light from primordial possibilities was disappearing as the crevice closed.

After entering the mountains and seas, Li Fan felt the process of being devoured had slowed down.

Simultaneously, countless images and lights in his mind rose like a burgeoning storm, intensifying.

It seemed that in the next moment, these illusory lights and shadows would be solidified from illusion to reality.

Truly evolving from the mountains and seas.

From the Infinite Ocean Floor to the peak of Upper Mountain.

Even to the Other Shore of the mountains and seas.

And beyond the Mountain and Sea World.

It seemed as if they all perceived the anomaly in Li Fan’s location.

The mountains and seas roared and howled.

Perhaps, in the next instant, Li Fan would be exposed before all the beings in the mountains and seas.

But the more desperate the situation, the more composed Li Fan felt inside.

He quickly found the only means of self-rescue.

Self-destruction.

The energy accumulated through cultivation within his body, even the will of Li Fan’s divine soul, ignited in an instant.

Then, without reservation, it exploded forcefully.

—————–

It quickly changed back.

“If the previous fusion of the three paths was just because Hai Zhen was curious, then there is no reason for him to remain indifferent while I am about to be completely consumed by the mountains and seas.”

Li Fan’s thoughts spun faster and faster.

The blurred sense of time flow returned to normal as he pondered.
