Chapter 1622: Chapter 1366

“The First Generation Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang was not merely an Immortal descending to the Lower Realm…”

“But an Immortal transforming into a Mortal?”

In an instant, Li Fan’s spirit was deeply shaken.

Immortal descending to the Lower Realm and Immortal transforming into Mortal might seem similar but are fundamentally different.

When Immortals descend to the Lower Realm, they remain True Immortals, only constrained by the limits that the realm can withstand.

But once they transform into Mortals…

Immortals are no longer Immortals!

Becoming a True Immortal is the ultimate goal that all mortal Cultivators dream of. However, in the ancient Xuanhuang World, there existed such a True Immortal who chose to degrade himself, demoting to the dust of the mundane.

“Path-obliterating Calamity!” The name flashed instantly through Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness.

Apart from avoiding the horrific disaster that later destroyed the Immortal World, Li Fan could think of no other necessary reason for doing so.

“When the First Generation Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang transformed into a mortal, there was still quite some time before the Great Calamity of the Immortal World.”

“Such foresight, such courage!”

“This is the true descent of a True Immortal to the mortal dust!”

Li Fan couldn’t help but feel amazed.

But then Li Fan suddenly thought: “However, we can’t exclude that he was forced into it. After all, from the memories of previous True Immortals, it is known that the Immortal World is also strictly hierarchical.”

“If it was merely to avoid the Path-obliterating Calamity for himself, theoretically speaking, he would never again take up the position of Xuanhuang Immortal Master.”

“Clearly, the First Generation’s descent was to align with some plan of the Immortal World.”

“And Xuanhuang World was one of the experimental grounds for it.”

Recalling the uncertain rings and Nine-star Red Beads seen previously in the Immortal Arrays, as well as the countless Ice sealed corpses controlled by the Watchers.

Li Fan obscurely connected everything together.

“Perhaps, the purpose of the Immortal World creating this experimental field in Xuanhuang was not just to find refuge.”

“But also to explore a solution to handle the Path-obliterating Calamity.”

“However, from the current final outcomes, they failed.”

“The Path-obliterating Calamity, ravaged the Immortal World with a speed faster than imagined, spreading widely. Countless True Immortals fell during it.”

“Whereas the Lower Realm Xuanhuang remained safe and sound, which wavered some Immortals’ will to resist the disaster.”

“Thus, came the Immortal Domain Fragment plan afterward…”

With his eyes narrowed in thought, a bigger question emerged in Li Fan’s mind.

“Did that First Generation Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang truly die?”

The True Immortal Remnant, always passed down, controlled by the successive Xuanhuang Immortal Masters.

What about the First Generation himself?

With a distinct separation from the mundane, since the First Generation had left behind a bloodline, he must have completely transformed into a mortal form.

Could such a person, just like countless mortals, disappear into the rivers of history due to exhaustion of lifespan?

Or did he change his identity, hiding his surname, quietly observing everything from the shadows?

“Looking at it now, the close connection between Xuanhuang World and the Immortal World is definitely inseparable from this First Generation Heavenly Sovereign. The exiled True Immortal, acting as a bridge between Immortal and Mortal, secretly monitors everything happening within Xuanhuang World.”

“And this True Immortal is also restrained by the Immortal World, perhaps harboring dissatisfaction, thus faking his death to free himself.”

“The second Xuanhuang Immortal Master was not an Immortal transforming into Mortal, but selected from the Living Beings within Xuanhuang World…”

“Either the cost for an Immortal to transform into Mortal was too great, unsustainable, or even within the Immortal World, the Xuanhuang plan was highly confidential, and not many True Immortals could participate in it, truly running out of candidates for transformation.”

“Or perhaps it was a combination of both.”

Recalling the mysterious character seen previously in the You Clan bloodline, Li Fan pensively thought: “An Immortal’s transformation into Mortal is definitely not just a simple matter of degradation.”

“It also involves [The Change Between Immortal and Mortal].”

“That is a power almost on par with [Creation]…”

Thoughts whirled.

Li Fan, in an instant, pieced together the possible truths relating to the Immortal World and Xuanhuang.

Most of these were extrapolations from the commonalities between the First Generation Supreme Lord and the current circumstances captured momentarily by Li Fan. But matching up with the clues previously investigated, it was telling enough.

“The continuously hidden banished Immortal…”

“But in the previous life, despite the collapse of the High Wall and the tumult of the Star Sea, he still did not reveal himself.”

“It appears that at this current moment, the banished Immortal might no longer exist in the Abyss Star Ocean.”

“Of course, it’s not necessarily that he’s already perished. It’s very likely that he has already escaped beyond the High Wall!”

As the Abyss Star Ocean serves as Li Fan’s current main base of operations, appearing relatively safe on the surface, it provides him some peace of mind.

“You Clan People, being the bloodline of the First Generation Great Supreme Lord.”

“Then, I wonder if through the [Manifest] Technique, their bloodline connections could be stimulated, thereby tracking that banished Immortal?”

A dangerous idea suddenly popped up in Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness.

But soon, he forcefully suppressed it.

“Now, there’s no need to engage in such fruitless actions. Perhaps later, when strength is amassed to explore beyond the High Wall, then consider this matter.”

From the fragments of clues, glimpses of once the Immortal World’s iceberg were seen.

This made Li Fan even more curious about the Immortal World, also could not help but feel an immense wariness towards those already collected but not yet assembled Immortal Domain Fragments.

“If there truly was a True Immortal who considered the Lower Realm as a refuge to escape disasters, then the disassembled and sealed Immortal Domain might very well become their hiding spot…”

Li Fan pondered in his heart, hesitating on whether to activate the Immortal Domain Fragment left behind by Sun Piaomiao.

After much deliberation, he finally made up his mind, suppressing his doubts.
