Chapter 1818: Chapter 1464: The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Might

The might of Lord Guardian Hill is truly awe-inspiring.

However, regarding what Qing Yin mentioned about the natural limitations that will arise upon acquiring Shou Qiu Gong’s legacy, Li Fan seemed rather unconcerned.

Firstly, although Lord Guardian Hill is faintly the strongest being known at present, Li Fan still does not believe that the Lord could surpass Hai Zhen.

Secondly, the one who obtained and cultivated [Rambles from the Guarded Hill] is Li Bu Ren, and if push comes to shove, he could use Li Bu Ren as a sacrificial pawn. It really has nothing to do with Li Fan.

“There are still some doubts in the image Qing Yin left behind.”

“For instance, why did Qing Yin specifically leave this record in the experimental field? That last glance he cast towards the observer was clearly suggestive.”

“Sun Piaomiao, once the True Immortal responsible for overseeing Xuan Huang in the Lower Realm, still doesn’t understand the exact relationship with this so-called [Rotten Stump Dojo]…”

Too many secrets were completely lost with the advent of the Path-obliterating Calamity, and the destruction of the Immortal World, leaving no chance for verification. Li Fan also did not intend to delve into everything deeply.

“Although the secrets of the High Wall may not be fully explored, gaining the legacy of Lord Guardian Hill and the acknowledgment of Qing Yin grants a much higher ‘access’ to this experimental field than that of a mere visitor.”

As Qing Yin’s image dissipated, Li Bu Ren stood once more in the circular hall, silently absorbing insights.

The many objects that were originally unresponsive to him seemed to have become somewhat tangible and controllable.

Aside from the human puppet that invoked the experimental field’s historical image, Li Bu Ren found that the most resonant connection he felt was with a dark red wooden Taishi chair.

Li Bu Ren gently stroked it with his hand, feeling the faint aura of Lord Guardian Hill’s illusion emanate from it.

“This chair, it seems Lord Guardian Hill once sat on it.”

Li Bu Ren attempted to sit on it.

Boom!

The view suddenly shifted dramatically, as if he left the circular hall at the core of the experimental field, drifting out over countless monitored Cubed Star Seas.

He soared upwards, leaving the confines of the experimental field behind!

Li Bu Ren saw a familiar starry sky.

It was precisely the narrow Oblivion Land outside the Sea of the Northern Stars. He could even, from afar, glimpse the flourishing starlight within the Sea of the Northern Stars!

As his view pulled closer, he could meticulously observe the Transcendent Mystical Coffin still quietly resting in the starry sky and the new immortals trapped in the Happy Land dreamscape!

Having previously scrutinized the Transcendent Mystical Coffin from his own perspective, this time examining it from another perspective, Li Bu Ren instantly noticed the differences between these two states.

The initial sensation was awkwardness and regret, akin to a creation meant to be immaculate now having a blemish!

“This is the mark I made with the [True as False] Divine Ability on the Transcendent Mystical Coffin. I couldn’t clearly see it myself, yet from this perspective, the imperfection is fully manifest…”

Bracing the discomfort in his heart, Li Bu Ren continued to scrutinize the Mystic Coffin.

Surrounding the starry sky and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it seemed to transform into waves rising and falling. And in this vast boundless ocean, the Transcendent Mystical Coffin was like a lone raft.

Though inevitably it must still drift with the waves, it could still safely weather endless tempests and surges.

If not for that blemish.

“With this flaw I created, it’s like a fissure in the ship’s hull.”

“Seawater slowly seeps through the crack. If one still wishes to use it to cross the sea, the inevitable end is sinking to the ocean floor.”

The vision seemed to leap over the river of time to glimpse the future. This was not based on derivation but a scene directly appearing before Li Bu Ren’s eyes.

“This feeling…”

“Is this what the truly strong perceive daily?”

By now, Li Bu Ren understood.

What he was seeing should be from the perspective of the “High Wall” itself.

Even if there were some prohibitions and Array Techniques left by other True Immortals, the core foundation of the High Wall still consisted of the five Dao legacy shadows left by Lord Guardian Hill.

Through the chair Lord Guardian Hill once used and the mysterious connection with the illusions, one could, to some extent, harness part of the power of these five illusions.

It could withstand the Path-obliterating Calamity, and obscure the Nameless gaze.

The quality of the shadows left by Lord Guardian Hill need not be elaborated further.

With their power, Li Bu Ren not only saw the imperfection of the Mystic Coffin at a glance but also vaguely comprehended the principle by which the coffin could Traverse the World.

Just as Li Fan had speculated before.

This raft, seemingly capable of transcending the Endless Ocean, lacked particularly outstanding materials. However, it seemed to be composed of countless overlapping shadows.

With each additional layer of overlapping shadows, its stability increased.

The more layers accumulated, the more it could ignore waves and wind.

“This… should be the same principle as Black Celestial Doctor and Xie Subai hunting down their other possible selves.”

Li Bu Ren gazed, somewhat entranced, at the myriad overlapping shadows on the Mystic Coffin, as if through them he saw other possibilities.

However, precisely because of the blemish he had previously caused, this Mystic Coffin before him was drifting away from these overlapping shadows.

Initially, the deviation was almost negligible.

But Li Bu Ren observed how, swaying in the winds and waves of external forces, the difference widened with the passage of time!

His probing vision was also distorted, obstructed because of this.

It could not truly perceive into other possibilities.

Not even a shred of light or shadow.

Li Bu Ren inwardly lamented.

“If the Transcendent Mystical Coffin were intact, maybe one could truly see the path to other possibilities?”
