Chapter 2137: Chapter 1635: Outer Heaven Beyond the Immortal Mountain Sea

“Mountain Sea Unsanctioned Immortal? What the hell is that…”

This instance of Dao Yan came so abruptly that Li Fan, who had been watching the drama unfold in the shadows, almost didn’t have time to react and was nearly harmed by Dao Yan.

However, being someone who had seen much of the world, Li Fan quickly calmed down after his messy escape.

“I never thought that the ability of Dharma Transmitter Jiang [Oneness with All Creation] had such profound roots.”

With Li Fan’s experience, he easily discerned that All-Knowing Immortal and the Immortal Instrument [Ruyi Heart] were certainly more complex than the initial description given by the Measureless Barrier.

“Anger the Saint Lord, and Mountain Sea will show no mercy. Could it be that this All-Knowing Immortal is one of the two who were suppressed in the Eternal Celestial Ladder on the Other Shore?”

“Moreover, there’s this peculiar reaction of the Dao Yan tides…”

From his past intimate encounters with Dao Yan, Li Fan had confirmed that Dao Yan had a consciousness of its own. Or rather, if one considered Dao Yan a military force, there was a supreme commander orchestrating its comprehensive attack.

A vast army approaches; it infiltrates everywhere; encircles and gently consumes; when encountering strong resistance, it dispatches more troops to thoroughly crush the enemy…

This time, however, after detecting something related to All-Knowing Immortal, the reaction of Dao Yan was different from before.

“It’s like a scout discovering the enemy’s tracks, calling in the main force instantly, and striking directly!”

A strange chill ran through Li Fan’s heart.

“The essence of Dao Yan is Mountain Sea Meld. It is the return of the transcendent power of [Star], above Mountain Sea. Even just a fragment of the Immortal Instrument can provoke such a large reaction from Dao Yan.”

“In a sense, could this All-Knowing Immortal, or rather [Ruyi Heart], catch the eye of [Star]?”

Instinctively, Li Fan’s curiosity was piqued.

“Perhaps I could glimpse more from the memories of Dharma Transmitter Jiang, but this lifetime brings no such opportunity.”

“We’ll see after the battle of morality.”

Li Fan glanced far toward the other side of Mountain Sea.

He did not seek other potential abodes, but instead raised the Mountain Sea Solitary Sail, drifting atop the tides of Dao Yan.

Feeling the undercurrents of Dao Yan, clarity dawned in Li Fan’s heart: “Even if the primordial was exterminated, they have not given up searching. In Dao Yan’s view, a disaster of this scale would never kill the All-Knowing Immortal. If it vanished, it must have evaded and hidden again.”

“Able to stir the emotions of All Saints on the Other Shore, it is indeed remarkable!”

Li Fan recalled his encounters with All Saints in simulations, where they were always calm and composed, observing even the Infinite Spirit of Hai Zhen and himself.

It’s hard to imagine what All-Knowing Immortal did to provoke the Saints into personally suppressing it.

“The power source of Dharma Transmitter Jiang, that fragment freed when the Immortal World was destroyed, perhaps is merely one of the remnants of All-Knowing Immortal on the Other Shore.”

“Even so, it is highly valued by Dao Yan.”

All these suggest that All-Knowing Immortal, Ruyi Heart, might play a crucial role in the Dao Yan and Mountain Sea battle.

Although not decisive, it could at least significantly change the current stalemate.

“In this light, All-Knowing Immortal seems unique to the primordial.”

“Why does this path of possibility I’m on seem so extraordinary?”

“Beyond manifesting Saints like Guardian Hill, there are individuals like this?”

“Along with Jing Fen, morality, the King of Mystic Sky couple…”

“Plus myself, and Hai Zhen.”

“Where’s the limit they said was the potential for single possibilities?”

Li Fan frowned.

“Could it be that I accidentally hit the mark when naming this primordial?”

Yet observations contradict this.

The Primordial Immortal Realm already perished. What remained was destroyed countless times since.

Nothing appears exceptional.

“Where did it go wrong?” Li Fan keenly sensed the deep contradictions within.

Everything appeared strange and discordant.

“In theory, prosperous times yield talent. If a single path of possibility can support so many Mountain Sea strongmen, it shouldn’t be weak. But now…”

Adrift, floating above Dao Yan, hidden within Mountain Sea, Li Fan pondered this issue.

Within Mountain Sea, time does not exist.

He didn’t know how long had passed. After experiencing scenes of other possibilities where the Immortal World still flourished, a thought struck him out of the blue.

“I always believed the Primordial Immortal World was long destroyed. But…”

“If, just if, Emperor Tai Tian’s plan succeeded?”

Emperor Tai Tian’s method of salvation was to propel the Immortal World to evolve further. If it transcended Mountain Sea, it would naturally avoid Dao Yan. Though it sounds like sheer fantasy, the plan must have some feasibility to gain many supporters back then.

Even with slim odds, it wasn’t entirely impossible to have succeeded.

If Emperor Tai Tian indeed led the Primordial Immortal Realm to achieve transcendence…

Then the myriad anomalies of the primordial would seem reasonable.

After transcendence, the essence of the entire possibility changes, blessing countless living beings of the primordial. Even discarded “remnants” from the transcendence affected, turning mediocrities into geniuses, and geniuses into peerless geniuses.

Surpassing those of the same kind and standing out, talents whose upper limit was only Nameless Immortals could foresee the Realm of Transcendence.

“Perhaps this explains why the small primordial birthed so many transcendent strongmen.”

“And…”

“I should have realized that Mountain Sea is boundless, with countless possibilities, and that Hai Zhen choosing [Primordial] might not be coincidental.”

“It’s not just the Xuanhuang World that’s special, but also the [Primordial].”

“Inheriting the primordial’s resources makes the seemingly small Xuanhuang World a hidden haven for talent.”

With this revelation, like seeing through the mist, everything felt clear to Li Fan.

Though all of this remained merely his “speculation” thus far.

But Li Fan’s intuition, like a guiding light, assured him at the moment of “inference” that this might be the truth.

“It’s truly astonishing.”

Staring at this conclusion, Li Fan remained in silence for a long time.

Precisely because it was so incredible, even with prior signs, Li Fan hadn’t thought in this direction.

He didn’t dare to think this way.

However, through a unique twist of fate this time, after learning of [All-Knowing Immortal]’s existence, Li Fan suddenly broke through previous limitations.

Yet larger questions followed.

“What kind of person was Emperor Tai Tian?”

“After the Primordial Immortal Realm succeeded in transcendence, where did it go?”
