第二百二十七章 永恒留遗念 (合章)

The young man, Xiao Heng, carefully placed the skeleton on the ground and softly called out to his predecessor. Unfortunately, there was no response.

Although Xiao Heng felt a bit disappointed, he did not immediately retrieve the skeleton. Instead, he left it in the same place where he had found the skull of the predecessor, hoping that it might be helpful somehow.

Soon after Xiao Heng’s departure, Li Fan's avatar appeared and observed the human skeleton lying silently on the ground. He couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and confusion.

"Does this brat really think this thing has any use?" Li Fan had been closely monitoring everything that happened with his avatar's eyes. In the vastness of the universe, it was clear that this was just an ordinary human skeleton.

However, he felt genuine sincerity from the boy. Compared to Xiao Heng, Li Fan thought, the fat man, Ye Fei, seemed much more selfish.

With the intention of not disappointing the child’s intentions, Li Fan decided to take the skeleton and find a place to process it later.

But as soon as his avatar touched the young practitioner's remains, Li Fan's expression changed slightly.

"Is this feeling..."

He became serious and carefully examined the situation again. After much examination, he still couldn't find anything unusual.

"Strange..."

"Why does my heart feel so agitated?"

Li Fan frowned and muttered to himself.

After some more research, he finally understood something.

"A true hunger."

In the Heavenly Mirror where Li Fan was meditating in seclusion, his main self suddenly stood up. The ritual quickly set up, and he arrived at the White Bone Predecessor Realm.

As soon as he touched the young practitioner's remains, the clear voice of "Truly" rang out in his mind.

"Discovery: [Eternal Remembrance]."

"Do you wish to absorb it?"

A huge sense of joy surged through Li Fan. Since six hundred years ago when he discovered that celestial wonders could recharge Truly, he had finally found another useful item for Truly.

"Celestial wonders can increase the anchoring progress of Truly and unlock additional anchor points."

Li Fan took a deep breath and suppressed his urge to absorb it immediately. He put away the remains, returned to the Heavenly Mirror, made some preparations, and quietly left the Eternal Immortals Island.

The previous life's incident where Tianyi forcibly broke through the Heavenly Mirror had left Li Fan with significant psychological trauma. However, it also taught him that the Heavenly Mirror was not entirely safe.

If there were any anomalies during the absorption of the Eternal Remembrance, he would be in even greater danger among the many practitioners in the Heavenly Mirror.

It was safer to find a secluded and uninhabited place for seclusion outside the island.

Li Fan chose a random teleportation array and left the island.

After flying for several hours, Li Fan entered a remote sea area and submerged himself underwater. He activated his Disappearance Talisman while transforming Truly into the [Seven-Hole Clear Heart] and running the secret technique [Appearance Follows Heart].

After changing his appearance, he found a deep trench in the seabed and dove inside.

He carved out a large cave on the wall of the trench but did not go to its deepest point. Instead, he dug several thousand meters into the rock formation before stopping.

In the depths of the earth, Li Fan created a space suitable for habitation. Afterward, he sealed off the passage with the secret technique from "Steal Heaven and Change Sun."

Returning to the cave, he set up protective array formations around it.

Only after all these preparations were complete did Li Fan retrieve the skeleton again.

"Discovery: [Eternal Remembrance]."

"Do you wish to absorb it?"

The voice of Truly echoed once more.

Li Fan chose "yes." The space around him became ethereal as the bones gradually decomposed into crystalline white light, which Li Fan absorbed.

When the remains completely vanished, Li Fan's mind was suddenly jolted with a powerful sensation.

"Yang Tian lived a life not inferior to that of a human!"

The voice of a young and stubborn child echoed in his ears.

Li Fan then lost consciousness. After an indeterminate amount of time, he slowly regained it.

His eyes were initially dazed but quickly cleared up. He had just experienced a highly realistic dream.

No, rather than a dream, it felt like he had taken over another person's body and lived through their entire life from his perspective.

Throughout the process, he could only observe and hear; he couldn't control his own actions. His mental activity was also suppressed to the minimum.

From beginning to end, Li Fan did not realize anything was amiss until he woke up. Everything that happened then quickly faded like a wave receding.

He didn’t dwell on what exactly had occurred during his interaction with Eternal Remembrance because Truly's prompt appeared again:

"Even though a mortal dies, their remembrance persists."

"Eternal Remembrance (True Immortal Yang Tian) absorbed completely."

"Current usage count: 3."

Many pieces of information naturally surfaced in Li Fan’s mind.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and pondered deeply.

"The use of the count can simulate and construct memories from Eternal Remembrance."

"All within the scene will be exactly as real."

"But to bring items or information back into reality, one must resolve the执念that sustains Eternal Remembrance..."

"Why does this resemble the陨仙境 so much?"

Li Fan was slightly surprised.

"陨仙、遗念..."

After some thought, Li Fan had a reasonable guess.

"Resolving the执念, perhaps I can try from that direction next time I enter the陨仙境."

He suppressed these thoughts and continued to feel the information Truly provided.

"In a simulated scene, you will fully replace the original owner of Eternal Remembrance."

"At the same time, you will receive the memories and abilities of the original owner."

"Indeed... consistent with the陨仙境."

"When the count is exhausted, Eternal Remembrance will completely disappear."

"Perhaps I can understand it as Truly using the energy contained in Eternal Remembrance to simulate a small陨仙境."

"Each simulation requires energy expenditure."

"Energy depletion causes Eternal Remembrance to dissipate."

"But..."

Li Fan's mind stirred.

According to Truly’s prompt, Eternal Remembrance could not be bound as an item.

However, after each use, one could find another carrier of Eternal Remembrance and absorb it for repeated use.

"Perhaps practitioners from this realm can use Eternal Remembrance through other methods."

"But for them, the usage count is limited. If they cannot bring back the opportunities within a certain number of uses..."

"Eternal Remembrance would be wasted."

"For me, its usage count..."

"Infinite."

With this thought, Li Fan no longer hesitated and activated Truly's [Simulation] function.

A familiar sensation came over him.

As if someone had placed his head in a sack, Li Fan lost consciousness again.

...

"Yang Tian! Yang Tian!"

An old voice gently called out to him. "Yang Tian, it’s time for your medicine..."

A strange-tasting decoction was forced down his throat. A burning sensation ignited within his stomach, and the immense pain instantly brought Li Fan back to full awareness.

He felt extremely weak, as if he might die at any moment.

This was Li Fan's first feeling upon waking up.
