Capítulo 2342: Chapter 1749: Gracefully Toying with the Three Saints

The Guardian Hill’s ink-colored face twisted and struggled in an instant.

His body transformed into the Void Realm’s minions, which was completely contrary to his long-held beliefs. This caused his spirit to suffer an extremely intense shock.

The reaction was so intense that it even exceeded Li Fan’s expectations.

“Thoughts contrary to the Dao cannot be tolerated. There is a danger of self-destruction!”

Li Fan also did not expect that the Guardian Hill’s beliefs were so steadfast and righteous. Upon realizing his situation, he would rather choose self-termination than become a lackey of the Void Realm.

But having fallen into Li Fan’s control, life and death, desire and aversion, were no longer decisions he could make on his own.

With a thought, the surging Dao Yan surged up, stitching the Guardian Hill’s shattered body back together.

Then he continuously infused him with memories of Reincarnation and salvation.

“Destroying the world for salvation, killing for preservation. Daoist Guardian Hill, you deeply misunderstand me!” Li Fan sighed longingly.

Sure enough, the struggle of the Guardian Hill, knowing what Li Fan had done in the past, gradually weakened.

But it was apparent that he still harbored resentment toward his identity as a Void Realm Incarnate. He only stared at Li Fan without speaking.

“A Lone Star descends to the world, regardless of your stance or identity, the Mountain and Sea will not change its destiny of annihilation.”

“Destroyed by us, or by the Void Realm, what’s the fundamental difference?”

“Instead of being swallowed by Dao Yan in vain, why not become resources for us to face the Void Realm and the Lone Star?”

“It’s unrelated to the end game; you, Daoist, have ultimately not seen through it!”

In response to Li Fan’s words, while the Guardian Hill still did not reply, his disdain was evident.

Li Fan didn’t mind, letting out a faint laugh.

“Forget it; I know Daoist Guardian Hill would not indulge with me.”

“But, even if you don’t agree with my methods, you should acknowledge my determination to save the world.”

“The future of the Mountain and Sea hangs entirely on me. If I do not use extraordinary means, how can I find a glimmer of hope in the impossible?” Li Fan said despondently.

The Guardian Hill’s gaze shifted slightly, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

“In this lifetime, I wish to become the Master of the Void Realm.”

“Since Daoist, you do not wish to follow, I shall walk alone, so what?”

“However…”

“I have something I would like to ask you to help comprehend.”

Li Fan said, slowly unfolding the [Dao Yi Mountain and Sea Map].

Ink-colored mountains and seas, stormy and cloud-covered, seeming both real and illusory.

The Guardian Hill, seeing it for the first time, had a trace of surprise in his eyes. Soon, he noticed the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele at the center of the Dao Yi Diagram.

“This is…”

“True God Finger.”

Li Fan’s voice echoed eerily.

Upon hearing these three words, even the Guardian Hill, with all his composure, couldn’t stop his ink-colored body from trembling slightly.

“The fall of the God Finger alters the Mountain and Sea. This is the initial source of the Mountain and Sea Meld.”

“This Mountain and Sea Map contains only a phantom that I comprehended. Even so, it holds the power to change the heavens and the earth!”

Li Fan said, pointing lightly toward the ink-colored Guardian Hill from the void.

As if in an instant, facing the entire Mountain and Sea, it was as though he had witnessed the True God beyond the Mountain and Sea.

The Dao Yan body stirred uncontrollably in tumult. The ink-colored Guardian Hill couldn’t help but change his expression slightly.

The power of the True God Finger was something he had never encountered before. To directly rewrite the origin of all things in the Mountain and Sea was beyond what could be simply described as “mystical.”

The wave from Li Fan’s fingertip, just as it was about to fall on the Guardian Hill, abruptly stopped.

“I believe you can see, with this True God Finger, even if you don’t wish it, I can easily rewrite your will. However, after all, we have fought side by side countless times…”

Perhaps it was the inherent fascination Mountain and Sea Cultivators had for the mysteries of the True God, or perhaps it was Li Fan’s final words that moved him. After a long period of silent contemplation, the Guardian Hill finally nodded.

Though he would not aid evil, he would help Li Fan comprehend the secrets of the True God Finger.

“I ask Daoist Guardian Hill to first resonate with the phantom of the True God Finger I left behind. When it truly manifests in this lifetime, that will be the crucial moment of understanding.”

The ink-colored Guardian Hill sat cross-legged, transforming into a particle, floating beside the Mountain and Sea Without Boundary.

“As the saying goes, one must always be wary of others. Although you’ve agreed, Daoist Guardian Hill, and I trust your character, this involves secrets of the True God…”

“To prevent any accidents, I need to take some precautionary measures. Please do not take offense, Guardian Hill.”

As he spoke, strands of ink surged from the Dao Yi Mountain and Sea Map, like countless shackles, binding and restraining the Guardian Hill.

The Guardian Hill chuckled but didn’t mind, focusing his intention on the Mountain and Sea Boundaryless Stele.

Li Fan clasped his hands in courtesy, as more and more ink continued to tumble, completely isolating the Guardian Hill from the outside world. Only the faint Radiance of the Boundaryless Stele penetrated within.

The slight smile on his face suddenly vanished. Li Fan thought to himself, “My decision was indeed correct. The reaction of the Void Incarnate was so intense, let alone the true being. If he still aligned with me, he might have dragged me into self-destruction.”

“However, although I managed to persuade him, it is after all just an incarnate. His ability to comprehend naturally doesn’t match the true Guardian Hill.”

Li Fan’s eyes flickered, his mind made up.

“If the quality isn’t enough, then compensate with quantity.”

Looking toward the distant Mountain and Sea, Li Fan’s gaze was cold and calm.

Splitting a significant portion of the Dao Yan’s power to mold the Guardian Hill’s Void Incarnate, yet it wouldn’t hinder Li Fan’s steps of eroding the Mountain and Sea.

As a former Mountain Sea Saint, he was more familiar with the target he intended to conquer.

Even the actions of All Saints from the Other Shore were mostly within his expectations.

Using the same old trick.

When the true forms of All Saints were in the Mountain and Sea, they lay low to strengthen themselves.

Once All Saints aimed to traverse to the Void Realm to reunite,

Li Fan dispatched his underlings, the Dao Yan, heading straight into the Mountain and Sea to devour freely.

The Dao Yan waves rose to ten thousand feet, about to swallow endless possibilities.

Just at this moment, a staff, a shovel, and a stick suddenly appeared.

They heavily imprisoned the Dao Yan.

The three formed an array, with a white circle like a dam. No matter how the Dao Yan surged, it couldn’t break through the seal.

The silhouettes of the Three Saints suddenly appeared within the white circle.

They looked at the imprisoned Dao Yan wave, their expressions solemn.

“This Dao Yan seems different from the past.”

“In the Void Realm, has a second will emerged?”

The Three Saints deduced for a moment, arriving at a conclusion that seemed inconceivable.

Just when the Three Saints were in an inexplicable mood, the imprisoned Dao Yan suddenly seemed to come alive.

It boiled and gathered, finally coalescing into a phantom.

It gave the Three Saints a sinister smile.

Then suddenly exploded.

The ghostly light penetrated the Xuanji Ring’s seal in an instant.

Even with the trap personally laid by the Mountain Lian Staff, Sea Returning Shovel, and All Living Beings Stick, the temple regarded them as nothing.

The white light remained, seemingly untouched by any impact.

But the imprisoned Dao Yan wave within had already vanished without a trace.

“What!”

The silhouette of the Three Saints wavered, revealing their inner turmoil.

The Sea Return Saint exhausted all his deductions but couldn’t fathom the origin of this newly emerged will of the Void Realm.

“With the situation already precarious, now there’s yet another variable…”

“Where did the variable come from?”

The Three Saints, almost instinctively, looked toward the beginning of the Mountain and Sea.
