Chapter 1854: Chapter 1482: Ascension to the Immortal World Again_2

Situ Xing sighed and continued, “By delineating and shaping this Star Sea through the form of life, and incidentally aiding in its revival, we can utilize the access passages of the Lower Realm Star Sea to reconnect with the Infinite Sea. At that time, although the Immortal World may be destroyed, I would still be a True Immortal. Even if my true body suffers misfortune, I wouldn’t be greatly affected.”

“It’s just a pity that things didn’t go as planned.”

“The Infinite Sea is the chief culprit that summoned Dao Yan’s calamity. Even if the Immortal World perishes, you all remain stubbornly infatuated!” Li Fan interrupted Situ Xing, his expression gradually turning cold.

Situ Xing was somewhat stunned, seemingly finally understanding why Li Fan was devoid of immortal power.

He pondered, cautiously explaining, “It’s not the Infinite Sea that caused the Dao Yan, but rather the failure to block the Infinite Sea that led to the Dao Yan. We True Immortals connect to the Infinite Sea through [Mountain Lian]’s power. This is what is meant by the mountains and seas being interconnected.”

“And whether we use the infinite immortal power or not, it won’t impact the grand trend of the Tao Yan Tide.”

“I suspect that the downfall of the Immortal World, that Tianluo Immortal Emperor’s stubbornness, should indeed bear most of the blame.”

This explanation from Situ Xing was indeed within the blind spot of Li Fan’s knowledge.

Unable to discern its truth, he didn’t directly refute it but instead asked in return, “The ruling Tianluo Immortal Emperor, I have heard, behaved erratically before the Immortal World’s destruction. What exactly did he intend to do?”

At the mention of the Tianluo Immortal Emperor, Situ Xing’s expression became a bit peculiar, reminiscent of his recollections of Xuan Yuanhong.

“The Tianluo Immortal Emperor wished to completely resolve the threat of the Path-obliterating Calamity. And the method…”

“Was the Ascension plan for the entire Immortal World. If successful, we would reign above the Mountains and Sea. No rising or falling tides could affect us in the slightest anymore.”

“Oh?” Li Fan’s expression also became subtle.

“Either that Tianluo Immortal Emperor was a downright madman, or he had something to rely on. I had heard that back then, the Tianluo Emperor had no lack of followers…” He fixed his gaze on Situ Xing, looking for answers.

“In theory, the Tianluo Emperor’s plan did have a certain degree of feasibility. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chosen to follow him. Unfortunately, based on the outcome, it seems he ultimately failed.”

“However, regarding its feasibility, it involves the Immortal World’s Ascension plan. It is top secret. I did not receive synchronized information. And those secrets may have been completely buried with the downfall of the Immortal World.” A trace of regret flashed deep in Situ Xing’s eyes.

In the Heavenly Pillar space, an eerie silence set in.

“Immortal World’s Ascension…”

In Li Fan’s heart, he carefully savored these four words.

It was indeed too insane.

No wonder that once Situ Xing, as well as True Immortals of the Ling line, upon learning of this plan, considered the Tianluo Emperor mad and ultimately decided to escape far away.

The power of the immortals comes from the Mountains and Sea. Yet the Tianluo Emperor wanted the power of one realm to transcend the Mountains and Sea.

Even if there was something to rely on, it still seemed too far-fetched.

But to be able to achieve the position of the ruling Immortal Emperor of the Immortal World, the Tianluo Emperor was by no means an ordinary man. This decision must have been made after considerable deliberation. At least, in his view, there was a great possibility of success.

“The [Hai Zhen] may not be able to surpass the Mountains and Sea. At that time, the Immortal World still shivered under the rampant Tao Yan Tide, on what basis did the Tianluo Emperor depend?” Li Fan’s heart was filled with boundless curiosity.

However, this question was destined to remain unanswered for a short time.

“You say that the infinite immortal power is not the main culprit that summoned the Dao Yan. Then, do you believe that with the occurrence of the Path-obliterating Calamity, all the immortals bear no responsibility?” After pondering for a while, Li Fan redirected the conversation.

Li Fan’s stance was already clear.

Glancing again at the nearby Heavenly Pillar, Situ Xing hesitated several times, unable to answer the question promptly.

Half a moment later, he hesitatedly said, “Not just me. I fear that the vast majority of True Immortals are of this belief as well. And indeed, it is true. Whether we use the infinite immortal power or not, the Infinite Sea is always there.”

“And the merging of Mountains and Sea is an inexorable trend. If there’s truly someone to blame…”

“Then perhaps, from the very beginning, the birth of the Immortal was a mistake.”

“Ever since the immortals were born using [Mountain Lian]’s power, the approach of the Infinite Sea was already a foregone conclusion sooner or later.”

Situ Xing also had a degree of steadfastness.

Faced with Li Fan’s stern gaze, he did not alter his remarks. He calmly said.

“You Nameless True Immortals, having attained the Dao and departed, truly bear no responsibility?” Li Fan suddenly said harshly.

With a wave of his hand, five of Lord Guardian Hill’s illusions encircled the location, presenting themselves before Situ Xing.

“Not to mention becoming a pillar, could you not at least leave an Inheritor’s Illusion like Lord Guardian Hill?”

The name of Lord Guardian Hill was truly extraordinary.

Seeing the illusions suddenly appear around him, Situ Xing looked as if struck by lightning.

His body trembled uncontrollably.

After regaining his composure, he voluntarily bowed in respect towards the illusions.

Then after some contemplation, he spoke once more, “This issue was discussed early on in the Immortal World.”

“The grand trend of the Mountains melding with the Sea cannot be reversed by merely upholding one or two paths. In fact, the presence or absence of one path’s support hardly affects anything from a macro-temporal perspective. It’s like the refuge built with two Heavenly Pillars by the predecessor here; it seems safe for now, but in reality…”

“Destruction is ultimately inevitable one day.”

“Perhaps some derivations could be attempted, but ultimately they’d be of no avail.”

“The True Immortal’s path of ascension can’t be completely denied because of this matter. Moreover, if we were to attain the Nameless, Minor Transcendence, or even true Transcendence, surpassing the Mountains and Sea, maybe we could truly find a way to halt the melding of Mountains and Sea.”

Situ Xing spoke with righteous determination, his speech quickening.

His eyes were firm, as if this was what he truly believed in his heart.

—————–

It was quickly amended.

“You say that the infinite immortal power is not the main culprit that summoned the Dao Yan. Then, do you believe that with the occurrence of the Path-obliterating Calamity, all the immortals bear no responsibility?” After pondering for a while, Li Fan redirected the conversation.

“You Nameless True Immortals, having attained the Dao, did you really bear no responsibility?” Li Fan suddenly said harshly.

With a wave of his hand, five of Lord Guardian Hill’s illusions encircled the location, presenting themselves before Situ Xing.

“It’s not like you had to sacrifice yourself as a pillar. Can you not even leave an Inheritor’s Illusion like Lord Guardian Hill did?”

The name of Lord Guardian Hill was truly extraordinary.

Seeing the illusions suddenly appear around him, Situ Xing looked as if struck by lightning.

His body trembled uncontrollably.

After a moment’s composure, he voluntarily bowed in respect towards the illusions.

Then after some contemplation, he spoke once more, “This issue was discussed early on in the Immortal World.”

“The trend of Mountain and Sea meld cannot be reversed by the persistence of one or two paths. In reality, the support of one path more or less makes no difference in the long run. It’s like the refuge built with two Heavenly Pillars by the predecessor here; it seems safe for now, but in reality…”

“Destruction is ultimately inevitable one day.”

“Perhaps some derivation can be done, but it would ultimately be of no help.”
