My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2237 - 1690: Breaking the Cycle to Unveil the Profound Mystery
Mountain Sea Path, essentially has no physical form.
Yet at this moment, under Li Fan’s forceful pull, it actually manifested as a colorful long serpent, leaping into reality from thin air!
The serpent originally held its head and tail together in a state of balance.
Now, disrupted by Li Fan’s external force, it instinctively launched a counterattack.
Rainbow Light instantly shrouded Li Fan, myriad possibilities surged, and light and shadow flickered violently as if the fast-forward button had been pressed.
The following scene gradually unfolded:
The long serpent struggled after being captured by Li Fan. But the colorful radiance surged and resisted with all its might, yet ultimately failed to escape the grasp of the hand. Li Fan’s face showed a satisfied expression as he looked at the rainbow serpent turning to mist before him and opened his mouth to inhale.
The rainbow mystical energy surged into his belly.
Seemingly enlightened, Li Fan sat in meditation amidst the flowing myriad possibilities, his aura gradually revealed the presence that belonged to the rainbow serpent.
Underneath him, myriad possibilities, losing their cyclic nature due to the rainbow serpent being suppressed, surprisingly stabilized again.
Li Fan immersed himself, unable to extricate. Like petrification, he seemed to lose his own aura.
Countless years passed, Li Fan’s figure completely froze in the space-time here, as if originally belonging here. As "Li Fan’s" existence gradually faded.
Light and shadow continued to flicker rapidly, each instant representing the passing of hundreds of thousands of years.
Li Fan’s last impression left in the world eventually disappeared, transforming into specks of rainbow mist. From all directions gathered, finally forming a rainbow long serpent!
Like a newborn, oblivious to the murky possibilities. The serpent acted instinctively, slowly coiling its body until forming its original shape.
Same as the myriad cyclic possibilities below, caught in an eternal loop.
Like a misty cloud drifted by, the long serpent faded into it, disappearing without a trace.
Light and shadow twisted, accelerating once more.
Thus, countless years passed, countless cycles of reincarnation experienced. The rainbow serpent unexpectedly manifested into form again.
As if something inside was constantly struggling, intensifying.
Boom!
The serpent exploded into countless flying ashes, and a figure leaped out from it. It was Li Fan, who had been trapped in this place for unknown years.
As if forgetting his lost journey, returning to the moment he first entered here.
Li Fan observed the hidden mysteries among the myriad cyclic possibilities, making the same choice as before.
Teleporting into one possibility, choosing to break the cycle with his body, forcing the rainbow serpent that directed the cyclic changes here to reveal its form.
The action went smoothly as before.
The captured rainbow serpent struggled relentlessly. Ultimately unable to escape Li Fan’s refining.
Misty energies consumed, Li Fan sat and attained enlightenment.
Unknown years passed in a blink, ultimately merging with this realm.
One reincarnation is like this, and thousands of reincarnations are similar.
As a hunter of the Mountain Sea Path, Li Fan was trapped within it instead.
Like falling into an endless cycle!
...
The Other Shore.
Taiyi observed the scene from afar and chuckled: "Our Mountain and Sea Walker seems to have encountered some trouble. Shall we lend a hand?"
"Time and space like a wheel, the cycle of life and death never ceases. This Cosmic Cycle was not initiated by the Mountain Sea, but was a survival transformation under the pressure of Dao Yan’s background. Although the Mountain and Sea Walker is gifted, once stripped of the Saint’s cloak, he is merely a transcendent cultivation base. Trapped here... it’s understandable." Lord Guardian Hill nodded and said.
"When you are involved, you’re muddled; as an observer, you’re clear. If we were in his position, we might not perform better." Since Li Fan’s enlightenment brought Dao to sainthood, at this moment, they couldn’t help but save his reputation.
All Saints remained silent, neither refuting nor agreeing.
Yet it was Saint Lianshan who suddenly broke the silence: "We can afford to wait a little longer. In my observation, within this unchanging situation lies a change. This Mountain and Sea Walker is not as simple as you imagine. You’ve somewhat underestimated him."
Saint Lianshan, in rare form, silently chuckled.
The other Saints were surprised by his words and directed their gaze anew.
The Mountain Sea reconnects, the Other Shore shrouded over the entirety of the Mountain Sea.
Under the enveloping white light, time flows, but holds no real significance.
Besides, where Li Fan resides, the cycle completes itself. Even if billions of years pass within, it won’t affect the Mountain Sea already.
All Saints waiting, well it doesn’t matter.
...
As Saint Lianshan said.
Seemingly endless cycles of reincarnation hide variables within.
And this variable is Li Fan’s opportunity to escape!
All emanated from the sword Li Fan wielded upon his initial arrival to find the Cosmic Cycle’s trail.
That sword severed one possibility here. Time halted, then withered away.
And as the Cosmic Cycle evolved, confining Li Fan within its cycle, to avoid Li Fan noticing, It opted to encompass Li Fan’s instinctive actions within the cycle.
Consequently, in every reincarnation, one possibility perished under Li Fan’s fingertip sword.
Though myriad possibilities flowed here, though aside from obliteration, possibilities here still renewed.
But as Li Fan completely immersed within the Cosmic Cycle, every cycle became smoother.
Reincarnation grew faster, Li Fan’s speed of destroying possibilities exceeded renewal speed.
No matter how Cosmic Cycle force tried, maintaining balance was impossible.
If this continues, the end is already decided. That is, all myriad flows here would ultimately be buried in Li Fan’s hands.
And losing the core of cycle, this cycle is destined to collapse.
Though if Cosmic Cycle opted to endure...
The end remains unchanged.
It’s merely Li Fan trapped longer.
Ultimately meeting the final obliteration conclusion.
Sensing its circumstance, the Cosmic Cycle made its choice.
At another cycle’s start, Li Fan captured the rainbow serpent and consumed the misty energy, on the verge of entering enlightenment.
But a smaller ray of rainbow light flashed fleetingly.
Intending to secretly escape.
The next moment, about to exit the flow of cyclic possibilities and hide within the boundless Mountain Sea.
Then unexpectedly, originally immersed in enlightenment, Li Fan abruptly opened his eyes.
Expressionless, lightly clasped two fingers.
Fingers like a lock, tightly binding the Cosmic Cycle Tao.
The small colorful snake trapped suddenly, shocked and angry.
Aiming to manifest the cycle of light and shadow again, trapping Li Fan within.
But since emerging from the major cycle, why would Li Fan repeat the mistake?
"Had you decisively chosen to flee when I arrived, I might’ve indeed been helpless."
"After exhausting countless cycles with me, realizing too late to cut itself for survival..."
"Humph! But you’re too late!"
The Cosmic Cycle Tao is now in the grasp.
Li Fan lowered his brows, slowly refining.
Beneath him, myriad cyclic possibilities’ flow, having lost its cycle’s driving force, gradually slipped into freezing.
