Chapter 731: Chapter 696: The Theory of World’s Birth and Death

“We finally escaped!”

The voices of Huang Fusong and Dong Fangyao sounded in Li Fan’s ears, filled with relief.

Li Fan turned and looked at the two of them, noticing that they were in a much worse shape than he was.

In just a short while, they had aged significantly. There were traces of gray in their hair and wrinkles had appeared on their faces.

“If it weren’t for you, Brother Li, taking the brunt of the Death Qi, Huang Fusong and I might not have made it out,” Dong Fangyao said, still shaken from their ordeal.

Huang Fusong nodded in agreement as well.

“Both of you should take some more Elixirs of Immortality first. I still have some left,” Li Fan said, wincing at the cost but without any hesitation, he took out a jade bottle. He turned the bottle over and the remaining three elixirs fell out.

“I knew I should’ve bought more back then,” Li Fan sighed, dividing two of the elixirs and passing them to Huang Fusong and Dong Fangyao.

The two men, watching all this, couldn’t help but feel touched.

“I knew I wasn’t wrong about you, Brother Li! You have a strong sense of brotherhood!” Dong Fangyao, swallowing the last Elixir of Immortality, exclaimed. “Very few in the Xuanhuang World would be there for you in life and death situations. You’re one of a kind.”

“The fact that we had Brother Li with us this time was indeed our luck,” Huang Fusong said after refining the Elixir of Immortality, clearing away the negative effects from the Death Qi.

“By the way, Brother Li, were did you get these Elixirs of Immortality? They’re truly exceptional. I’ve already swallowed six in a row, and I can still feel the surging life force in them. I’ve never heard of such divine medicine before,” he then asked Li Fan about the source of the Elixirs after a moment.

“It’s embarrassing to admit, but I bought it from a cultivator I randomly encountered in Tianyu City. I was skeptical about the effects he’d touted, so I didn’t buy many. In the rush, I even forgot to get his contact information,” Li Fan replied regretfully shaking his head.

Hearing this, Huang Fusong couldn’t help but show his disappointment: “What a pity! Such divine medicine, once the Immortal Alliance officially gives notice, will be sought after by all the cultivators in the alliance. If only we could’ve stocked up in advance…”

“Let’s focus on getting out of here first. We’ve only escaped from the Sea of Dead Silence, we’re still not out of this Mystical Realm,” Dong Fangyao harshly cut off Huang Fusong’s fantasies.

Upon hearing this, the three of them examined the Azure Ocean, which was strikingly different from the Black Sea of Death’s Silence they had just escaped from.

The difference was not just striking, but they were also polar opposites.

One was filled with deadly qi, that even a God Transforming cultivator could not easily resist and dissolve. However, this place, albeit less vibrant than the Sea of Dead Silence, felt like a morning sun, a youth, and the vitality of all things in spring.

All things were vibrant and full of life.

It was as if they were in a newborn world, full of vigor.

Affecting by this place, Li Fan and his two companions all felt as if their minds and bodies had become “younger”.

“What do you make of this, Brother Li?” Dong Fangyao asked.

Li Fan didn’t respond.

Huang Fusong gave his guess: “This Sea of Vitality may be part of the Mystical Realm, just like the Sea of Dead Silence. Two sides of the same coin.”

“So, correspondingly, there must be a ‘Focal Point’ here too. Since life and death are opposites, the Focal Points in the two worlds are not in the same positions. We just need to find the Focal Point in the Sea of Vitality, go through there, and we might escape from this Mystical Realm.”

After hearing this, Dong Fangyao scratched his head: “Why not go back to the Sea of Dead Silence?”

Li Fan smiled and answered for Huang Fusong: “Because the array of this Mystical Realm is the ‘Great Array of Life-Death Reversal’. Besides, considering the concentration of Death Qi in the Sea of Dead Silence as per our observation, if there is a place as teeming with Vitality as this connected to the other side, it would surely be as conspicuous as a drop of ink in water. We’ve explored the Sea of Dead Silence extensively and didn’t encounter a trace of vitality, so the exit from this Azure Ocean of Vitality isn’t there.”

“Brother Li, your thoughts align perfectly with mine!” Huang Fusong exclaimed.

“Alright, since you both agree, let’s start looking for the Focal Point,” having both of his companions in agreement, Huang Fusong had no choice but to concede and urged them to move on.

This Sea of Vitality appeared to be an ordinary ocean. Except for a wider variety of sea creatures, there was nothing else out of the ordinary.

All the way, the three of them didn’t encounter any danger, thus their journey was quite smooth.

What delighted Huang Fusong was that exploring this area still counted towards the task of exploring unknown territories within the White Mist.

The rapidly increasing number of Qingxuan Points excited him. He joyfully declared that they had made the right choice, apparently having completely forgotten the life or death crisis they had faced earlier.

Li Fan also had a hint of happiness on his face, but it was something he deliberately put up to fit in with the group.

In reality, his mind was focused on a question.

Was this Sea of Vitality the result of the experimentation of the Immortal Sovereign who reversed life and death?

“Creating a brand new world of vitality from a world of oblivion?”

“From the life and death of individuals, to the life and death of the world. It is indeed a step further.”

“Who is this formidable person?”

Li Fan felt there might be more secrets hidden in this, but, however, he couldn’t figure out any more at the moment.

“If my guess is correct, then the ‘Principle of Reversing Life and Death’ in Heaven and Earth has already been claimed. At this point in time, Immortal Lan Yu, who’s also keen on achieving immortality through the same principle, hasn’t yet played his last desperate card.”

“Maybe there’s a way to profit from this.”

“However, bargaining with a tiger for its skin must be done with great caution. Lan Yu’s survival from the Ancient Xian Realm till now surely means he is no ordinary being.”

While Li Fan was considering these things, the three of them had thoroughly explored the Sea of Vitality.

Eventually, they really did locate the ‘Focal Point’.

“Since Brother Li took the lead last time, I’ll go first this time around,” sensing the intermittent micro vortex in front of him, Dong Fangyao patted his chest and volunteered.

Hearing this, Li Fan had no objections.

Huang Fusong nodded as well, not arguing with Dong Fangyao, but followed him closely.

Li Fan took up the rear, and the three of them entered the vortex one after the other.

Familiar white mist rushed from all sides, this originally terrifying existence that could devour life’s vitality, at this moment, made the three of them feel a sense of elation.

“Finally made it out alive!”

“We’ve earned more than thirty thousand Qingxuan Points this time, probably no one in the Immortal Alliance has as many as us!”

Huang Fusong couldn’t wait to raise his Mirror of Celestial Measurement, intending to synchronize the recorded data to the Tianxuan Mirror.

However, in the next moment, his face twisted in shock and he let out a yelp.

“What happened? Why are our Qingxuan Points reset to zero?”
