Even though he had nearly achieved the strength of a Transcendent Strongman, Li Fan was still not in a hurry to head to the Other Shore. After all, he needed to be wary of those akin to Lord Guardian Hill, able to traverse the Realm of Eternal Silence.
Only after completing the plan to spread the True Spirit Fire everywhere would he truly take that step.
Although he hadn’t formally entered the Other Shore, through countless explorations with the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat over the years, Li Fan had already gained a preliminary understanding of the "Other Shore."
Most of this ca from rumors about the Other Shore among many possibilities. So of it was from Li Fan’s own exploration.
"As I previously speculated, entering the Other Shore transcends the river of ti, allowing free travel to the past, present, and future. Of course, this is limited to the current ti nodes of the Mountain and Sea Tree."
"But it does not co without cost."
"When going, one can utilize the Holy traits of the [Other Shore], making it very easy to reach any possibility or ti node. However, returning from the Mortal World back to the Other Shore is not so easy."
Before Li Fan’s eyes, a segnt of dead wood appeared, representing the panoramic view of the push and pull of the Mountain and Sea.
At the center of the dead wood, a radiant sphere flickered.
The warm white light illuminated every corner of the dead wood.
"My previous guess was that the construction of the Other Shore involved hollowing out the Mountain and Sea Tree, creating from its space-ti structure a miraculous construction that allowed easy access to every corner of the Mountain and Sea."
"But over the years, having personally crossed Dao Yan, I have realized the vastness of the Mountain and Sea. Creating sothing on the sa scale as the Mountain and Sea is simply impossible. Even if the Group of Immortals of the Other Shore were truly capable of such a feat, they would not choose such a thankless thod."
"The true Other Shore, much like this radiant sphere, though rely the size of a grain of rice compared to the Mountain and Sea, its radiating power can cover all of the Mortal World in the Mountain and Sea. Those Transcendent Strongn who have not yet understood the Taoist Principle of ’Reversal’ can smoothly travel to different possibilities and different ti nodes through the radiating ’light’ of the Other Shore."
"And therein lies the problem..."
With a thought, Li Fan’s mind enlarged the image of the Mountain and Sea Tree by tens of thousands of tis.
As a result, it beca apparent that those seemingly illuminated corners of the Mountain and Sea still showed varying degrees of light and shadow.
"The light of the Other Shore ultimately cannot shine upon everywhere. Although it is unknown where precisely the Other Shore is anchored, it can almost be certain that the places further from the Other Shore are increasingly harder to reach."
"Perhaps leading to situations where Transcendent Strongn cannot return."
A glint flashed in Li Fan’s eyes, and information about one of the possibilities reached by the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat appeared before him.
This possibility, more or less, was the most "remote" possibility explored by many Angels or Envoys so far. It almost had no resemblance to the original history Li Fan ca from.
The Three Saints are only ntioned as pioneers of the Immortal World in ancient legends, the Group of Immortals of the Immortal World had nearly forgotten them. This possibility doesn’t even have the existence of a Ruling Immortal Emperor, remaining in constant turmoil throughout its long history.
Because they were far from the Other Shore, Transcendence was almost hopeless.
Thus, the Group of Immortals in this world devoted most of their energy and talent to warfare.
They divided and unified, unified and divided. Tens of thousands of different-sized Immortal Dynasties had appeared, but there was never a peerless strongman to unify the Immortal World.
The closest to achieving the unification of the Immortal World was the illustrious [Saintly Sovereign Immortal Emperor] in the history of this possibility.
The Saintly Sovereign Immortal Emperor erged suddenly, sweeping across the Immortal World in a re three hundred cycles. Powerful, cold-blooded, rciless: these were the impressions he left on the Group of Immortals.
However, just as the Saintly Sovereign Immortal Emperor was about to unify the Immortal World, he mysteriously disappeared.
Just like how he appeared back then, quietly and without a trace.
Without the crushing might of the Saintly Sovereign Immortal Emperor to suppress it, the soon-to-be-unified Immortal Dynasty quickly disintegrated and fell back into chaos.
The disappearance of the Saintly Sovereign Immortal Emperor beca the greatest unsolved mystery in the history of that possibility, causing endless speculation.
Perhaps only another outsider like Li Fan could guess the truth.
"From the overpowering strength the Saintly Sovereign Immortal Emperor displayed back then, he undoubtedly was a Transcendent Strongman. For so reason, he ca to this possibility. To him, the so-called Immortal Emperors naturally ant little. They could be discarded at any mont. The reason behind his warfare and unification was actually to return to the Other Shore."
Records indicate that the Saintly Sovereign Immortal Emperor had many peculiar habits. For instance, he enjoyed collecting corpses of enemies to forge weapons. As he waged war, he slew nearly ten thousand Naless Immortals.
"This was to forge a Vessel of Crossing from Naless Immortals. Although he had Transcendent strength, he still needed external objects to resist Dao Yan. Presumably, due to this possibility being too remote, he took asures to increase the likelihood of successfully returning to the Other Shore. Upon being well-prepared, he naturally left directly."
The reason Li Fan is so certain is, first, because the deeds of the Saintly Sovereign Immortal Emperor were too obvious. Secondly, before the Xuanhuang Immortal Boat arrived at this possibility, it had encountered a peculiar black banner in the Dao Yan.
The black banner was filled with malicious energy, its bones stark white. Although it had been heavily eroded by Dao Yan, it was still recognizable as being crafted from countless Naless Immortals.
This was, indeed, a creation personally crafted by the Saintly Sovereign Immortal Emperor of bygone years.
"Such a treasure, still intact, was casually discarded by him. This indicates it was already of no use to him."
"He had already reached the range of the radiance of the Other Shore and could return at any ti."
