CHAPTER 2032: CHAPTER 1579

Xie Su Bai squinted slightly, examining the object in his hand.

Light and shadow twisted and transformed, revealing the image of the towering Immortal Pillar gradually dissipating, and the Hungry Immortal quietly sleeping inside.

Xie Su Bai looked at the other with a rather nuanced expression.

"At least you know what’s good for you, kid." Xie Su Bai did not reject Li Fan’s proposal, but after a moment’s silence, he said casually.

His figure faded and gradually disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he had left the possibility of [Primordial].

Just as when he arrived, silently.

Li Fan stared at the Vault of Heaven for a long time, finally confirming that the other had truly left. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even relying on Xuan Huang Immortal Realm, given his current strength, confronting a transcendent strongman like Xie Su Bai head-on was still quite a pressure.

Especially under the premise of losing Hai Zhen, the greatest life-saving method.

"Fortunately, the outcome turned out alright."

With a slight relaxation of spirit, the myriad Dao Yi Bugs hidden within the Xuanhuang Heavenly Earth, poised for action, returned to their original state. They continued to regroup near the four heavenly platforms, enhancing their adaptability to the Mountain Sea.

Due to the premature contact with Su Bai’s eternal relic, Xie Su Bai could be said to be the most suitable transcendent strongman for the first true contact between the Mountain Sea.

Though he was filled with sinister energy, he was not mad or foolish. Therefore, powers like the Eternal Life Path and Taiwei Elixir could be used to balance and intimidate.

And even if Li Fan’s plan failed and he inevitably had to confront Xie Su Bai head-on, in the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm’s main arena, with the new-born Mo Sha, Dao Yi Bug, and True and False Changes as trump cards, Li Fan was confident to battle Xie Su Bai.

Though the final result might be quite brutal, survival should be assured.

This was why Li Fan seemed to take a risky move.

High risk, naturally, means substantial rewards.

Most importantly, Li Fan had gained a clear understanding of his current strength.

As the saying goes, if you do not ascend a high mountain, you do not understand the sky’s height; if you do not approach a deep stream, you do not understand the earth’s depth. Although Li Fan had repeatedly approached the Mountain Sea in the past, it was merely a brief entry rather than a formal crossing.

He did not have a particularly quantifiable or clear understanding of the immense pressure faced during the crossing of the Mountain Sea. Without the ability of Hai Zhen to start over at any time, the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm’s action of colliding with the Mountain Sea had no room for error. Any mistake, and the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm would turn to dust; if Li Fan survived, he’d be severely injured.

"Using Xie Su Bai as an anchor point, I can both see the Mountain Sea and measure myself."

"Even though the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm already possesses substantial foundations, attempting to serve as an immortal boat to safely cross the Mountain Sea is still somewhat inadequate."

Seemingly sensing Li Fan’s thoughts, the Dao Yi Bug’s erosion and learning became more vigorous.

"Relying solely on the evolution brought by Dao Yi Bug, it’s too slow."

"The current most pressing issue with the Xuan Huang Immortal Boat is that its hull is not sturdy enough. Even though I used rare and tough materials to build the immortal boat, they haven’t fully merged with each other. It seems like they’re crudely stacked together, with many gaps between them."

"In ordinary states, it’s unharmed. Even I can’t detect these voids. But once facing the pressure of colliding with the Mountain Sea, these gaps would be the cause of the immortal boat’s instant disintegration."

"To solve this issue, there are two ways. First, find more common materials and fill all the gaps completely. Secondly..."

"It’s about re-refining the Xuanhuang Heavenly Earth. Every cycle of apocalyptic reincarnation is a chance to reshape."

With Li Fan’s current insights, once identified the crux, he can quickly think of solutions. Though his realm was imprisoned before his transcendence realm, his understanding had far surpassed his own strength. In a sense, he might be like the legendary mighty person reincarnating with memories to rebuild.

Though in reality, his advanced insights came from the accumulation of endless reincarnation.

"I must tackle both fronts."

"The Tai Shang Dao Book still contains True Immortals, all of which must be captured and used as materials to fill the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm."

"I myself must further understand the principles of elixir and refine Xuan Huang to a higher level."

The orange cat sleeping on Li Fan’s shoulder, its shadow instantly shattered, transforming back into an elixir infused with Bai Qian.

"Using Dao to transform medicine, and medicine to symbolize Dao, eliminates the refining process, truly wonderful beyond words."

"How did the Saint Emperor achieve this?"

Although Li Fan absorbed the Pipa Sacred Medicine, he still had a partial understanding of the rationale behind the formation of sacred medicine. Thus, he began to study it carefully.

"If I could emulate the Saint Emperor..."

"The Xuan Huang Immortal Realm might undergo another qualitative change." Li Fan’s gaze flickered.

In theory, the transcendence path of the Mountain Sea requires one to forge their own Dao path.

Li Fan, using the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm as the method for an Immortal Boat to traverse the world, can also be considered a transcendence method unique to himself. And it can gather the strengths of many schools.

"It’s just, it seems that transcenders in the Mountain Sea seem rarely like me."

"I wonder if there’s any drawback to this approach."

Such a thought flashed across Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.

Though he had this premonition in his heart, he didn’t care much.

After all, Hai Zhen was only in deep sleep, not completely gone.

"First, walk out of the Mountain Sea to observe its wonders. If the drawbacks are truly significant, I’ll wait for Hai Zhen to awake and start over..." Li Fan gazed at the Xuan Huang Immortal Realm before him, thoughts surging.

After a long time, he finally suppressed his scattered thoughts, looking beyond the High Wall: "The house has been roughly cleaned, I can reluctantly invite you in now."
