“ yī yǎn yìng wàn nián , yǔn hòu zì chéng jiè ?!”
“一眼映万年,陨后自成界?!”
"Seeing a thousand years in one glance, and after falling into oblivion, it would naturally form its own world?!"
“ zhè zěn me kě néng ?”
“这怎么可能?”
"That's impossible!"
liǔ sān bèi lǐ fán suǒ miáo shù de bù kě sī yì shì shí suǒ zhèn jīng le 。
柳三被李凡所描述的不可思议事实所震惊了。
Liu San was stunned by the unbelievable fact described by Li Fan.
“ xuán huáng jiè zěn me huì yǒu zhēn xiān cún zài ? wèi hé wǒ děng què cóng lái méi yǒu tīng shuō guò ?”
“玄黄界怎么会有真仙存在?为何我等却从来没有听说过?”
"How could there be True Immortals in Xuanhuang Realm? Why have we never heard of them before?"
nǎ pà shēn wèi hé dào qiáng zhě , zài tīng wén 【 yǔn xiān jìng 】 cún zài de shí hòu , liǔ sān de biǎo xiàn yě bù bǐ lǐ fán hǎo dào nǎ lǐ qù 。
哪怕身为合道强者,在听闻【陨仙境】存在的时候,柳三的表现也不比李凡好到哪里去。
Even as a cultivator who had reached the Dao Integration realm, Liu San did not fare much better than Li Fan when he heard about the existence of the Fallen Immortal Realm.
lǐ fán wēi xiào zhe shuō dào :“ liǔ lǎo bù bì huái yí , cǐ shì qiān zhēn wàn què , wǒ yǐ jīng qīn shēn tǐ yàn le yī fān 。”
李凡微笑着说道:“柳老不必怀疑,此事千真万确,我已经亲身体验了一番。”
Li Fan smiled and said, "Old Master Liu needn't doubt. This is absolutely true; I have personally experienced it."
“ liǎng yǎn suǒ jiàn , yī rú dāng nián 。 bù kuì shì zhēn xiān shǒu bǐ 。” tā yáo le yáo tóu , mǎn shì gǎn kǎi dào 。
“两眼所见,一如当年。不愧是真仙手笔。”他摇了摇头,满是感慨道。
"Everything seen with both eyes is just as it was back then. Truly a work by a True Immortal," he shook his head and expressed great admiration.
lǐ fán zhè me yī shuō , liǔ sān biàn chè dǐ xìn fú le , tóng shí xīn zhōng yù fā zhèn hàn 。
李凡这么一说,柳三便彻底信服了,同时心中愈发震撼。
With Li Fan's words, Liu San fully believed him, feeling even more awed.
hū de , tā fǎng fú xiǎng dào le shén me , mù guāng shǎn guò yī sī jī dòng :“ shǎo zhǔ , nǐ fāng cái jiǎng , yǔn xiān jìng nèi shì shàng gǔ xuán huáng jiè de zhēn shí tóu yǐng 。 nà me , zhè shì bú shì yì wèi zhe , yǔn xiān jìng nèi réng rán huì yǒu dāng chū yào wáng zōng de cún zài ?”
忽的,他仿佛想到了什么,目光闪过一丝激动:“少主,你方才讲,陨仙境内是上古玄黄界的真实投影。那么,这是不是意味着,陨仙境内仍然会有当初药王宗的存在?”
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and a hint of excitement appeared in his gaze: "Young Master, you just said that the Fallen Immortal Realm is a true projection of the Ancient Xuanhuang Realm. Does this mean there might still be the original Medicine King Sect within it?"
“ lǎo zōng zhǔ , shèn zhì nǐ wǒ , yǐ jí yào wáng zōng de qí yú quán tǐ xiū shì men ……”
“老宗主,甚至你我,以及药王宗的其余全体修士们……”
"Old Patriarch, even you and I, as well as all other cultivators from the Medicine King Sect..."
“ wǒ děng zài tàn suǒ shí , dōu yǒu kě néng yù jiàn tā men ?” liǔ sān de shēng yīn yǒu xiē chàn dǒu , xú xú wèn dào 。
“我等在探索时,都有可能遇见他们?”柳三的声音有些颤抖,徐徐问道。
"We could possibly encounter them when exploring?" Liu San's voice trembled slightly as he asked.
lǐ fán chén yín piàn kè , diǎn le diǎn tóu , gěi chū le gè kěn dìng de dá fù 。
李凡沉吟片刻,点了点头,给出了个肯定的答复。
Li Fan pondered for a moment before nodding in confirmation.
zài xuán huáng jiè lì shǐ shàng , dí què céng jīng chū xiàn guò , shàng gǔ chén mián xiū shì zài jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng hòu , yù dào le lìng yí gè zì jǐ de shì qíng 。
在玄黄界历史上,的确曾经出现过,上古沉眠修士在进入陨仙境后,遇到了另一个自己的事情。
In Xuanhuang Realm’s history, there had indeed been cases where ancient cultivators who entered the Fallen Immortal Realm encountered their past selves. However, they did not see each other or sense any connection between them. Essentially, when ancient cultivators arrived in the present, everything from their past was already gone. The projections within the Fallen Immortal Realm were merely snapshots of themselves at a certain moment. Meeting another self would be no different from encountering any other existence.
dàn , bìng méi yǒu chū xiàn “ liǎng zhě bù néng xiāng jiàn ”、“ hù xiāng shēng chū gǎn yìng ” děng qí xuán de xiàn xiàng fā shēng 。 guī gēn jié dǐ , dāng gǔ xiū shì lái dào xiàn zài zhī hòu , yǐ wǎng de yī qiè , dōu yǐ jīng guò qù le 。 yǔn xiān jìng zhōng de , bù guò shì guò qù zì shēn zài mǒu gè chà nà de tóu yǐng bà le 。 chú le xīn zhōng chàng rán 、 tú shēng gǎn kǎi zhī wài , jiàn dào lìng wài de zì jǐ , bìng bú huì hé yù jiàn qí tā cún zài yǒu shén me qū bié 。
但,并没有出现“两者不能相见”、“互相生出感应”等奇玄的现象发生。归根结底,当古修士来到现在之后,以往的一切,都已经过去了。陨仙境中的,不过是过去自身在某个刹那的投影罢了。除了心中怅然、途生感慨之外,见到另外的自己,并不会和遇见其他存在有什么区别。
Similarly, the original inhabitants of the Fallen Immortal Realm would not mistake those who entered from outside for past projections. Even if they looked and felt exactly like their past selves, it wouldn't work; they would only see them as using some divine technique to disguise themselves.
tóng yàng , yǔn xiān jìng nèi de “ yuán zhù mín ” men , yě bú huì wù bǎ zì wài jiè jìn rù qí zhōng de xiū shì dàng zuò céng jīng de tóu yǐng kàn dài 。 nǎ pà yàng mào 、 qì xī quán dōu gēn guò qù de zì jǐ wán quán yí zhì , yě bù xíng 。 zhǐ huì rèn wéi shì yǐ mǒu zhǒng shén tōng wěi zhuāng de 。
同样,陨仙境内的“原住民”们,也不会误把自外界进入其中的修士当做曾经的投影看待。哪怕样貌、气息全都跟过去的自己完全一致,也不行。只会认为是以某种神通伪装的。
However, Li Fan had once seen a discussion in the Tianxuan Mirror's 'Seeking Immortals' section about the possibility that if a cultivator survived from ancient times and reached an unimaginably high realm, they might achieve "eternal freedom."
bù guò , lǐ fán céng jīng zài tiān xuán jìng 【 xún xiān 】 bǎn kuài zhōng , kàn dào guò zhè yàng de yī zé tǎo lùn 。 shuō , ruò shì mǒu gè xiū shì zì shàng gǔ cún huó dào xiàn zài , bìng qiě xiū xíng dào le nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de gāo shēn jìng jiè 。 shuō bù dìng kě yǐ zuò dào “ yìng zhào wàn gǔ , yǒng héng zì zài ”。
不过,李凡曾经在天玄镜【寻仙】版块中,看到过这样的一则讨论。说,若是某个修士自上古存活到现在,并且修行到了难以想象的高深境界。说不定可以做到“映照万古,永恒自在”。
Eternal Freedom meant transcending time itself so that past, present, and future coexisted. The self at any given moment was the one after transcendence. Thus, in the Fallen Immortal Realm, such a projection could be considered the same as the original.
suǒ wèi 【 yǒng héng zì zài 】, jí shì zhǐ dāng xiū shì chāo tuō le shí jiān cháng hé hòu , biàn kě zuò dào guò qù 、 xiàn zài 、 wèi lái tóng zài 。 yǒu suǒ shí jiān jié diǎn shàng de tā , dōu shì chāo tuō yǐ hòu de tā 。 rú cǐ , zài yǔn xiān jìng zhōng tóu yǐng , huò xǔ kě yǐ gēn běn zūn shì zuò tóng yī rén 。
所谓【永恒自在】,即是指当修士超脱了时间长河后,便可做到过去、现在、未来同在。有所时间节点上的她,都是超脱以后的她。如此,在陨仙境中投影,或许可以跟本尊视作同一人。
Although just a fantasy, it was the ultimate pursuit of cultivators, making it quite intriguing to people.
suī rán zhǐ shì mǒu zhǒng huàn xiǎng , dàn què shì xiū shì duì yú dào tú de zhōng jí zhuī qiú 。 gù ér pǒ wèi yǐn dé rén men jīn jīn lè dào 。
虽然只是某种幻想,但却是修士对于道途的终极追求。故而颇为引得人们津津乐道。
Another cultivator proposed that if such a person existed, they would have long reversed cause and effect, creating a temporal loop. How could a True Immortal see them with one glance? Therefore, the projection in the Fallen Immortal Realm might be the real self from this world; it was ultimately a paradox.
yòu yǒu xiū shì tí chū , rú guǒ zhēn de cún zài zhè děng rén wù , pà bú shì zǎo jiù dǎo yīn wéi guǒ 、 shí kōng chéng huán 。 yòu zěn me huì bèi qū qū zhēn xiān yī yǎn , shè jìn yǔn xiān jìng zhōng ne ? suǒ yǐ yǔn xiān jìng zhōng tóu yǐng kě néng jiù shì xiàn shí shì jiè běn zūn de cāi xiǎng , zhōng jiū shì gè bèi lùn 。
又有修士提出,如果真的存在这等人物,怕不是早就倒因为果、时空成环。又怎么会被区区真仙一眼,摄进陨仙境中呢?所以陨仙境中投影可能就是现实世界本尊的猜想,终究是个悖论。
...
……
……
Li Fan briefly explained to Liu San. Although Liu San nodded and seemed relieved on the surface, he couldn't wait to personally enter the Fallen Immortal Realm.
lǐ fán dà zhì wèi liǔ sān jiě shì le yī fān , liǔ sān suī rán biǎo miàn shàng diǎn tóu shì huái , què réng rán pò bù jí dài dì yào qīn zì jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng zhōng yī shì 。
李凡大致为柳三解释了一番,柳三虽然表面上点头释怀,却仍然迫不及待地要亲自进入陨仙境中一试。
Seeing his eagerness, Li Fan did not mind but shook his head with a light laugh before carefully instructing him on the steps of the ritual.
jiàn zhuàng , lǐ fán yě bù jiè yì , zhǐ shì yáo tóu qīng xiào , suí hòu zǐ xì jiāng yí shì bù zhòu gào zhī yú tā 。
见状,李凡也不介意,只是摇头轻笑,随后仔细将仪式步骤告之于他。
"Prosperous Life, Supreme Xuanhuang!" Without any preparation, Liu San initiated the ritual in front of Li Fan and entered the Fallen Immortal Realm.
“ fú shēng , xuán huáng tiān zūn !” méi yǒu sī háo fáng bèi de , liǔ sān biàn zài lǐ fán miàn qián fā dòng le yí shì , jìn rù le yǔn xiān jìng zhōng 。
“福生,玄黄天尊!”没有丝毫防备的,柳三便在李凡面前发动了仪式,进入了陨仙境中。
Li Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked up at the sky. Due to having reached the Xuanhuang True Heart Spell, his perception was more acute than usual.
lǐ fán zé shì wēi wēi mī yǎn , cháo zhe tiān kōng zhōng wàng qù 。
李凡则是微微眯眼,朝着天空中望去。
At the moment Liu San's spirit consciousness vanished, Li Fan clearly sensed a shadow passing over the real-world sky.
sì hū shì yīn wèi jìn jiē chéng le 【 xuán huáng xiān xīn zhòu 】 yuán gù , lǐ fán gǎn zhī bǐ qǐ yǐ wǎng gèng jiā mǐn ruì 。
似乎是因为晋阶成了【玄黄仙心咒】缘故,李凡感知比起以往更加敏锐。
"Not an illusion. The Fallen Immortal Realm..."
zài liǔ sān de yī lǚ shén shí xiāo shī de chà nà , lǐ fán qīng xī de chá jué dào , xiàn shí shì jiè zhōng de tiān qióng zhī shàng , shì yǒu yī sī yīn yǐng lüè guò 。
在柳三的一缕神识消失的刹那,李凡清晰的察觉到,现实世界中的天穹之上,似有一丝阴影掠过。
The shadow appeared and disappeared in an instant, but Li Fan's gaze lingered on it for a long time.
“ bú shì cuò jué 。 yǔn xiān jìng me ……”
“不是错觉。陨仙境么……”
Having spent much time in the 'Seeking Immortals' section, Li Fan knew that many cultivators had attempted to find traces of the Fallen Immortal Realm in this world. But they all failed.
yīn yǐng zhǐ chū xiàn le chà nà jiù xiāo shī zài gǎn zhī lǐ , lǐ fán de shì xiàn què jiǔ jiǔ méi yǒu yí kāi 。
阴影只出现了刹那就消失在感知里,李凡的视线却久久没有移开。
They knew its existence and how to enter, but could not observe it.
céng zài 【 xún xiān 】 bǎn kuài zhōng yóu guàng xǔ jiǔ , lǐ fán zhī dào , shì shàng yǒu bù shǎo xiū shì céng jīng shì tú xún zhǎo yǔn xiān jìng de zài xiàn shí shì jiè zhōng de hén jì 。 dàn jù shuō , wú yī lì wài dōu shī bài le 。
曾在【寻仙】版块中游逛许久,李凡知道,世上有不少修士曾经试图寻找陨仙境的在现实世界中的痕迹。但据说,无一例外都失败了。
However, as an Infant Stage cultivator, Li Fan now broke this rule.
zhǐ zhī qí cún zài , zhī xiǎo jìn rù qí zhōng de fāng fǎ 。
只知其存在,知晓进入其中的方法。
"My experiences in the Fallen Immortal Realm were different from others; I kept repeating certain scenes. Now, it seems related to the Xuanhuang Spell."
dàn jiù shì wú fǎ guān cè dào tā 。
但就是无法观测到它。
"Perhaps there is a connection between True Immortal inheritance and remnants of True Immortals."
rán ér , bù guò yuán yīng xiū wèi de lǐ fán , xiàn zài jū rán dǎ pò le zhè yī guī lǜ 。
然而,不过元婴修为的李凡,现在居然打破了这一规律。
"After not entering the Fallen Immortal Realm for so long, I hope this Xuanhuang True Heart Spell will bring me some surprises."
“ wǒ zhī qián zài yǔn xiān jìng de zāo yù , jiù yì yú cháng rén , bù duàn lún huí chóng fù mǒu yī cháng jǐng 。 zhǐ shì bù yī zhí bù zhī dào qí yuán yóu 。 xiàn zài kàn lái , huò xǔ gēn xuán huáng zhòu tuō bù liǎo gān xì 。”
“我之前在陨仙境的遭遇,就异于常人,不断轮回重复某一场景。只是不一直不知道其缘由。现在看来,或许跟玄黄咒脱不了干系。”
Li Fan thought to himself.
“ zhēn xiān chuán chéng 、 zhēn xiān yí niàn 。 huò zhě zhè liǎng zhě zhī jiān , zhēn de cún zài mǒu zhǒng guān lián 。”
“真仙传承、真仙遗念。或者这两者之间,真的存在某种关联。”
Next, he did not rush to act. While waiting for Liu San to wake up, he strolled around the Eternal Valley.
“ xǔ jiǔ méi yǒu jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng zhōng , xī wàng zhè cì xuán huáng xiān xīn zhòu jiā chí zhī xià , néng gòu gěi wǒ dài diǎn jīng xǐ 。”
“许久没有进入陨仙境中,希望这次玄黄仙心咒加持之下,能够给我带点惊喜。”
The valley was divided into separate areas by array formations, used for cultivating different spirit plants and herbs. Even though it had been sealed for a thousand years, Li Fan could still feel the vitality of the crops in the Spirit Fields despite the protective barriers.
lǐ fán àn zì sī cǔn dào 。
李凡暗自思忖道。
Occasionally, Medicine King Sect cultivators would穿梭于其中,利用秘法挑选和采摘合适的炼丹材料。
jiē xià lái , tā què méi yǒu zháo jí xíng dòng 。 děng dài zhe liǔ sān sū xǐng de gōng fu , zài cháng shēng gǔ zhōng guàng le yī quān 。
接下来,他却没有着急行动。等待着柳三苏醒的功夫,在长生谷中逛了一圈。
远处的空地上,隐约可以看到几座正在成型的建筑雏形。
gǔ zhōng bèi zhèn fǎ fēn gē chéng le yī piàn yòu yī piàn de dān dú qū yù , yòng lái zhòng zhí bù tóng de líng zhí cǎo yào 。 bù kuì shì bèi fēng bì le qiān nián de mì jìng , nǎ pà yǒu fǎ zhèn gé jué , lǐ fán réng rán néng gǎn shòu zhe líng tián zhōng zuò wù shàng chuán lái de bó bó shēng jī 。
谷中被阵法分割成了一片又一片的单独区域,用来种植不同的灵植草药。不愧是被封闭了千年的秘境,哪怕有法阵隔绝,李凡仍然能感受着灵田中作物上传来的勃勃生机。
那是众弟子在方再济指挥下建造的新药王宗宗门。
bù shí yǒu yào wáng zōng xiū shì chuān suō yú qí zhōng , yǐ mì fǎ tiāo xuǎn 、 cǎi zhāi zhe hé shì de yòng lái liàn zhì dān yào de cái liào 。
不时有药王宗修士穿梭于其中,以秘法挑选、采摘着合适的用来炼制丹药的材料。
"Quite impressive," Li Fan nodded in admiration.
yuǎn fāng de kòng dì shàng , yī xī néng gòu kàn dào jǐ zuò yǐ jīng kuài yào chéng xíng de jiàn zhù chú xíng 。
远方的空地上,依稀能够看到几座已经快要成型的建筑雏形。
With the affairs of Congyunhai settled, he needed to consider future plans.
nà shì zhòng dì zǐ zài fāng zài jì de zhǐ huī xià , jiàn zào de yào wáng zōng xīn zōng mén 。
那是众弟子在方再济的指挥下,建造的药王宗新宗门。
Two main goals were on his mind.
“ dào pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn qì shì 。” lǐ fán diǎn tóu zàn tàn dào 。
“倒颇有几分气势。”李凡点头赞叹道。
First, find a way to obtain the part of 'Sitting Mountain Technique' after reaching the Infant Stage.
cóng yún hǎi shì le , jiē xià lái , jiù xū yào wèi zhī hòu de dǎ suàn zuò kǎo lǜ le 。
丛云海事了,接下来,就需要为之后的打算做考虑了。
Since this world had not seen the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals setting up the "Real and Illusory Heavenly Kings Scheme" to reveal hidden spies, there was no need for the Five Elders Association to冒险派出合道强者试探,最终双方发生大战、极成仙尊遭到暗算、寿元将尽之事。
zhǔ yào mù biāo yǒu liǎng gè 。
主要目标有两个。
Therefore, obtaining the 'Visiting Law Jade牌' that could allow him to see Yanfa Jue required other methods.
dì yī , xiǎng bàn fǎ huò dé 《 zuò shān jué 》 yuán yīng zhī hòu de bù fèn 。
第一,想办法获得《坐山诀》元婴之后的部分。
However, Li Fan was well-prepared for this; it would not be a problem.
yīn wèi cǐ shì shàng qiě méi yǒu fā shēng wàn xiān méng wèi le yǐn chū qián fú de jiàn dié 、 bù xià “ xū shí tiān zūn jì ” de shì qíng 。 suǒ yǐ yě jiù méi yǒu le wǔ lǎo huì mào xiǎn pài chū hé dào qiáng zhě shì tàn , zuì zhōng shuāng fāng fā shēng dà zhàn 、 jí chéng xiān zūn zāo dào àn suàn 、 shòu yuán jiāng jǐn zhī shì 。
因为此世尚且没有发生万仙盟为了引出潜伏的间谍、布下“虚实天尊计”的事情。所以也就没有了五老会冒险派出合道强者试探,最终双方发生大战、极成仙尊遭到暗算、寿元将尽之事。
Secondly, he needed to accumulate experience and insights for advancing to the Divine Transformation realm. The entire Infant Stage process was about cultivating and refining one's own Inner World Realm. The boundary between Infant Stage and Divine Transformation was crucial for actual combat power.
suǒ yǐ xiǎng yào huò dé néng gòu jiàn dào yǎn fǎ jué de 【 jìn fǎ yù pái 】, xū yào lìng móu tā fǎ 。
所以想要获得能够见到衍法珏的【觐法玉牌】,需要另谋他法。
Take the recently fallen Hongxi Immortal King as an example.
bù guò lǐ fán duì cǐ zǎo yǒu zhǔn bèi , wèn tí bù dà 。
不过李凡对此早有准备,问题不大。
He had achieved his Dao Foundation with the Five Elements Mountain, and his Golden Core was formed through the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
dì èr , zé shì wèi jìn shēng huà shén zhī jìng jī lěi jīng yàn yǔ gǎn wù 。 zhěng gè yuán yīng jìng , jiù shì péi yǎng 、 wán shàn zì shēn dòng tiān fǎ yù de guò chéng 。 ér yuán yīng 、 huà shén , zé shì lā kāi xiū shì shí jì zhàn lì de guān jiàn fēn shuǐ lǐng 。
第二,则是为晋升化神之境积累经验与感悟。整个元婴境,就是培养、完善自身洞天法域的过程。而元婴、化神,则是拉开修士实际战力的关键分水岭。
His talent could not be considered weak, and he started off on a good foot.
jiù yǐ gāng gāng zài cóng yún hào jié zhōng yǔn luò de hóng xī xiān jūn wèi lì 。
就以刚刚在丛云浩劫中陨落的鸿曦仙君为例。
However, during the stages of "drawing essence from heaven and earth to form an infant stage" and "extracting its spirit," the favorable situation turned dire.
yǐ 【 wǔ xíng shān 】 chéng jiù dào jī , yǐ jīn 、 mù 、 shuǐ 、 huǒ 、 tǔ wǔ fǎ chéng jiù jīn dān 。
以【五行山】成就道基,以金、木、水、火、土五法成就金丹。
The 'Hundred Ridge Inner World Realm' and 'Taihua Will Give Birth to Thousands of Mountains' sounded significantly weaker in comparison.
tiān fù bù kě wèi bù qiáng , kāi jú bù kě wèi bù shùn 。
天赋不可谓不强,开局不可谓不顺。
This made Hongxi Immortal King's actual combat power lackluster. He was confined to the borders of Congyunhai his entire life, making further progress extremely difficult.
rán ér , zài “ duó tiān dì zhī jīng 、 yǐ chéng yuán yīng ; chōu tiān dì zhī suǐ , yǐ dé qí shén ” zhè liǎng gè jiē duàn , dà hǎo de xíng shì què jí zhuǎn zhí xià 。
然而,在“夺天地之精、以成元婴;抽天地之髓,以得其神”这两个阶段,大好的形势却急转直下。
On the other hand, if Hongxi Immortal King had achieved his infant stage with the Five Elements Great Inner World Realm like Li Fan, how would his future have looked?
"Seeing a thousand years in one glance, and after falling into oblivion, it would naturally form its own world?!"
"That's impossible!"
Liu San was stunned by the unbelievable fact described by Li Fan.
"How could there be True Immortals in Xuanhuang Realm? Why have we never heard of them before?"
Even as a cultivator who had reached the Dao Integration realm, Liu San did not fare much better than Li Fan when he heard about the existence of the Fallen Immortal Realm.
Li Fan smiled and said, "Old Master Liu needn't doubt. This is absolutely true; I have personally experienced it."
"Everything seen with both eyes is just as it was back then. Truly a work by a True Immortal," he shook his head and expressed great admiration.
With Li Fan's words, Liu San fully believed him, feeling even more awed.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and a hint of excitement appeared in his gaze: "Young Master, you just said that the Fallen Immortal Realm is a true projection of the Ancient Xuanhuang Realm. Does this mean there might still be the original Medicine King Sect within it?"
"Old Patriarch, even you and I, as well as all other cultivators from the Medicine King Sect..."
"We could possibly encounter them when exploring?" Liu San's voice trembled slightly as he asked.
Li Fan pondered for a moment before nodding in confirmation.
In Xuanhuang Realm’s history, there had indeed been cases where ancient cultivators who entered the Fallen Immortal Realm encountered their past selves.

Since this world had not seen the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals setting up the "Real and Illusory Heavenly Kings Scheme" to reveal hidden spies, there was no need for the Five Elders Association to冒险派出合道强者试探,最终双方发生大战、极成仙尊遭到暗算、寿元将尽之事。
Therefore, obtaining the 'Visiting Law Jade牌' that could allow him to see Yanfa Jue required other methods.
However, Li Fan was well-prepared for this; it would not be a problem.
Secondly, he needed to accumulate experience and insights for advancing to the Divine Transformation realm. The entire Infant Stage process was about cultivating and refining one's own Inner World Realm. The boundary between Infant Stage and Divine Transformation was crucial for actual combat power.
Take the recently fallen Hongxi Immortal King as an example.
He had achieved his Dao Foundation with the Five Elements Mountain, and his Golden Core was formed through the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
His talent could not be considered weak, and he started off on a good foot.
However, during the stages of "drawing essence from heaven and earth to form an infant stage" and "extracting its spirit," the favorable situation turned dire.
The 'Hundred Ridge Inner World Realm' and 'Taihua Will Give Birth to Thousands of Mountains' sounded significantly weaker in comparison.
This made Hongxi Immortal King's actual combat power lackluster. He was confined to the borders of Congyunhai his entire life, making further progress extremely difficult.
On the other hand, if Hongxi Immortal King had achieved his infant stage with the Five Elements Great Inner World Realm like Li Fan, how would his future have looked?
