第1344章 还真的异动

"Surely, it's ingenious." Li Fan nodded slightly. He no longer suppressed the desire for 'Tru', and a mysterious force enveloped the three-branch tree. The ancient artifact was then covered by a faint light.

Gradually, it began to fade until it disappeared from sight. Li Fan closely watched the changes on the 'Tru' panel.

However, after waiting for a long time, he did not see any significant progress as before, where the virtual energy had increased to 400% in just one go.

In fact... He found no real change at all.

"Could it be that I've wasted my effort on swallowing 'Tru'?" The thought flashed through Li Fan's mind. But quickly, he dismissed this idea.

Based on his understanding of 'Tru', it was extremely selective. Every time it consumed something, there would always be a tangible transformation.

This time was no different. Li Fan stopped observing the 'Tru' panel and focused entirely on 'Tru' itself.

Even the wood sword technique that allowed him to traverse space paused. He stood still in mid-air, deeply meditating.

After half an hour or so, Li Fan suddenly opened his eyes: "Sure enough, this time's change of Tru did not manifest directly on the panel."

"But..." Li Fan conjured another virtual image of a wood sword. Only he could tell that this time's technique was slightly better than before in terms of performance.

In such a short period, making such significant progress solely relied on his deeper understanding of 'True and False Transformation'.

"Could it be that 'Tru' helped me understand the essence of True and False?" Li Fan felt quite shaken by this realization.

'True and False Transformation' was the highest level of power he had encountered during his many reincarnations. There were no exceptions to this rule. He struggled to comprehend and utilize it, relying on his connection with 'Tru'. Each time he activated 'Tru', he witnessed the world's virtualization and re-emergence, slowly gaining insights through his own intuition.

There was no other shortcut. But now, one of the relics left by Shen Biaopiao—this three-branch tree—actually assisted in enlightenment!

Li Fan squinted, carefully pondering how this incredible event had occurred. After a long while, he felt an inkling: "The path to True and False is like the ultimate truth, towering above all."

"Only I can witness Tru's transformation as I soar through the heavens."

"And absorbing this three-branch tree..." Li Fan fell silent for a moment before his eyes suddenly glowed with intense light: "Did Tru activate 'Simulation' without my involvement?"

"The generation and virtualization of True and False worlds happen in an instant. They don't affect our current world but exist solely within Tru!"

"Without anyone noticing, it achieved another transformation. Only through the mysterious increase in my understanding of True and False Transformation did I manage to discover this..." Li Fan was now a unique sage in the world, yet he felt no excitement.

Instead, he felt an unprecedented heaviness that temporarily put aside his plan to meet Shen Shangren and the flowers.

"Tru..." Li Fan silently repeated. The surroundings instantly grew darker. It was even more gray than the already pitch-black and silent Starless Sea.

"The truth is sometimes as real as a lie," seven bright words appeared. As always, Tru's ability remained unaffected and could be activated at any time.

However, for some reason, Li Fan felt uneasy, unable to calm down. In his view, there were two types of things in the world: those that could be covered by Tru's power, and those that affected or influenced Tru itself.

Everything in the Starless Sea, including the high walls, True Immortals, and Cat Treasure, belonged to the first category. As long as he had Tru, Li Fan would eventually conquer them all.

But the second category was beyond his control. Any influence on Tru meant that his greatest trump card lost its effectiveness.

Although this time seemed advantageous, it was a warning sign for Li Fan. He needed to carefully consider whether each instance of Tru's movement and desire to consume could always be satisfied.

Tru was an anomaly that had mysteriously awakened after he crossed over. It felt like it had become part of him.

It was impossible not to fear the loss of this treasure, but his past experiences in the reincarnation cycle had made him gradually forget his worries. Now, with Tru's transformation after swallowing the three-branch tree, Li Fan was once again awakened.

After a long time, he finally calmed down: "From what I can see now, it isn't necessarily bad for me."

"But I must quickly figure out what this three-branch tree is and why Tru activated world creation and destruction without my involvement."

"What happened in that moment of creation and destruction?"

"And what makes Tru change so dramatically?" Li Fan's mind was filled with numerous questions.

"Shen Biaopiao..." Li Fan was certain that the three-branch tree must also come from the Heavenly Realm. "Perhaps even more valuable than those gray chess pieces."

"But even Shen Biaopiao might not understand its secrets." Li Fan pondered on how to study this three-branch tree.

He couldn't be sure if Tru would still have a desire to consume it in his next life after seeing it again.

Based on past experiences, once something had been consumed, Tru generally wouldn't consume it again. But perhaps this bizarre three-branch tree was an exception.

The question then arose: If Tru's movement continued to occur in the future, should Li Fan allow it to continue consuming?

For the first time, the usually decisive Li Fan fell into a prolonged state of indecision. This uncertainty persisted even after he found Shen Shangren and the flowers on the remnants of the Great Wall.

While carefully considering his options, Li Fan used the virtual image of the wood sword technique to shield the two struggling individuals amidst the fluctuating star energy.

The current location was a node in the Starless Sea that Shen Shangren had mentioned earlier. The fluctuations here were intense like waves crashing against rocks, making it one of the most energetic areas at the edge of the sea.

Even comparable to the high walls. Given their strength, exploring here would be challenging.

"How are things? Do you have any clues about Xu Ke?" Li Fan asked. After adjusting his chaotic life and death energy, Shen Shangren replied: "We've basically confirmed that Xu Ke was drawn into this area. We found the faint mark he left behind, which matches our previous agreement."

Li Fan's attention shifted to his surroundings as he listened.

Suddenly, his vision changed from a normal perspective to a higher-dimensional one. Li Fan realized that this node was not a high platform in the remnants of the Great Wall but a depression!

The continuous stretch of walls seemed to suddenly break here, yet it didn't disrupt the connection between the remnants of the Great Wall.

It appeared... there was some mysterious unseen force maintaining the continuous wall within this depression!

"Interesting." Li Fan finally regained his spirit. The range of this depression in the actual Starless Sea was tiny, barely enough for one person to stand alone.

Picking up a piece from such intense energy fluctuations would be extremely difficult.

"Poor Xu Ke must have had such luck," Li Fan thought as he conjured another virtual image of a wood sword, like a small boat on the river, heading towards the depression.

The closer they got to the break in the remnants of the Great Wall, the stronger the external interference. The light flickered uncertainly, almost ready to explode at any moment.

Li Fan frowned and focused his mind to maintain the illusion technique. With a loud bang, as soon as the virtual image left the normal area of the remnants of the Great Wall and fell into the depression, it felt like plummeting from a great height.

The intense impact nearly caused the wood sword's virtual form to disintegrate!
