Colorful black and white

Chapter 580: The Seven-Colored and Black-and-White Match

"Hmm?"

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, wanting to see clearly what was blocking the way ahead in the pitch-black darkness.

But what surprised him was that whether using Divine Sense to sense or touching with his body, it did not show the existence of any obstacle ahead.

Li Fan frowned slightly.

This time, instead of harmonizing with the ripples appearing in space, he deliberately staggered the timing of the ripples and flew straight forward.

Strangely, the "wall" he had just felt in the ripples seemed as if it did not exist at all at this moment.

Li Fan could clearly sense that his position in this Void Realm had changed.

Or rather, a part of the positional attributes had shifted.

The other part still lingered and did not advance.

It was as if relying solely on one's own movement and undulating along with the ripples were two different levels of manifestations that did not interfere with each other.

This bizarre phenomenon was somewhat beyond Li Fan's current understanding.

He had no intention of pondering the causes behind this phenomenon right now, and merely emptied his mind once more, waiting until the ripples in the Void Realm came transmitting over again.

Merging with it, even though he clearly knew there was an obstacle ahead, he still crashed fiercely forward.

"Boom!"

The next moment, Li Fan saw stars and was forced to break away from the ripples.

After checking, he found that although his body was not injured, his Divine Soul seemed to have suffered a slight shock.

Li Fan pondered for a little while and temporarily gave up on this reckless attempt.

Without leaving, Li Fan simply stood quietly in the Void Realm, concentrating on perception whenever ripples struck.

He attempted to find the reason why he was isolated while the ripples could pass through unimpeded.

When his mind and spirit were concentrated, within this absolute darkness and silence, the ripples that appeared from time to time became very conspicuous.

Li Fan recorded the time points of each ripple's appearance.

After patiently collecting tens of thousands of sample data points, he reproduced them within the hua dao stone in his Sea of Consciousness, wanting to find the patterns that might be hidden within.

Hard work pays off.

Li Fan discovered that approximately every one thousand beats, a special entity different from the other ripples, with an intensity noticeably a tier higher, would appear.

The speed at which it spread in the Void Realm was also unusually almost twice as fast.

Li Fan's heart stirred as he calculated the numbers, waiting until this abnormal fluctuation transmitted over once again.

His mind and spirit settled and integrated into it.

This time it indeed had an effect, no longer like crashing directly into a wall as before.

Instead, it seemed to be constantly rubbing against the surrounding obstacles.

A pain like being cut by knives surged from the depths of his Soul body; Li Fan endured the excruciating pain and gritted his teeth to persist.

But as the ripples penetrated deeper, the "incompatibility" with the surroundings became more and more obvious.

The knife-like cuts slowly transformed into a brutal tearing; this inhumanly unbearable pain almost made Li Fan lose consciousness instantly.

It only triggered the ego's protective instinct, breaking him away from the state of mind-spirit unity.

"Hoo…"

Li Fan panted heavily, his entire body long since soaked in sweat due to the pain.

Even without harmonizing with the ripples, the pain of the Soul body being torn seemed to still exist.

A full duration of two "thousand-beat ripples" passed before this sensation in his Soul slowly dissipated.

At this moment, a trace of hesitation surfaced on Li Fan's recovering face.

However, when the thousand-beat ripples arrived next time, he still plunged into them.

This time he seemed to have persisted a little longer than the last time.

Or perhaps it was just his illusion.

Resting for a short while, without waiting for the pain to completely dissipate, Li Fan's mind and spirit once again integrated into the ripples.

"Ah!"

A trace of ferocity appeared on Li Fan's face, and his body began to twitch continuously due to the impact of the Divine Soul pain.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and those thoughts of "giving up" that surfaced in his mind were eliminated in an instant by the inverse-cultivation Dao Heart method of the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra.

"Merely a trivial pain, and you still want to block me?"

"Again!"

Next, in the process of attempting to ride the "thousand-beat ripples" deeper into the Void Realm over and over again,

Li Fan suffered indescribable torment.

The pain in his Soul body was also constantly rising, from tearing to ten thousand needles pricking simultaneously, and then to every spot feeling as if it were being repeatedly crushed back and forth.

In the end, Li Fan's mind became almost completely blank.

Only the obsession pursued in his heart consistently supported him, preventing him from giving up halfway.

And during this process, the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Mantra also played a crucial role.

It is human nature to always choose to escape when facing pain.

Especially under the circumstances where his Soul body seemed to be subjected to torture, every single minute and second, thoughts like "forget it", "why bother", and "there is simply no need for this" would naturally surface in Li Fan's mind.

Originally, these entities sufficient to shake Li Fan's choice were all transformed into raw materials to nourish the Soul body under the action of the inverse-cultivation Dao Heart great millstone.

If not for this, no matter how resilient Li Fan's willpower was, I am afraid he would not have been able to persist through this kind of torture.

But no matter what, Li Fan ultimately succeeded.

Not knowing how much time had passed, when he recovered his consciousness from the blurred state of awareness,

he found himself in a profound, miraculous yet faintly somewhat familiar space.

Between heaven and earth, horizontal and vertical lines crisscrossed, and particles of various colors frequently moved swiftly along the lines.

Occasionally, horizontal and vertical particles collided, bursting out with gorgeous seven-colored radiance in the air before disappearing in an instant.

"Where is this?"

Li Fan first checked his own body.

Surprisingly, it was also seemingly drawn from rough lines, ridiculous and bizarre.

But the sensation transmitted by the body had no difference whatsoever compared to when it was a normal physique.

Without acting rashly, while dodging the colorful particles whistling past from time to time, Li Fan carefully observed this miraculous space.

"It seems somewhat similar to the Tianxuan Mirror space I saw back then."

"However, in the Tianxuan Mirror, there are only two colors: black and white. Unlike here, which is colorful and dazzling."

"Wait, I remember…"

Li Fan's heart stirred as he flipped out the images stored in the hua dao stone and carefully reviewed them again.

He discovered that at the very end of the image, at the edge of the black-and-white world, there was also the existence of seven-colored radiance.

Black-and-white and seven-colored seemed to be two completely different opposing energies.

In the black-and-white world, the seven-colored radiance was cut down and transformed into a part of itself.

"Tianxuan Reborn Mirror…"

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought afterwards.

Not long after, he faintly had his own guess.

The black-and-white world undoubtedly represented the Tianxuan Mirror.

And the seven-colored radiance was very likely the microcosm of the real world.

Those crisscrossing lines, just like the principles of heaven and earth Li Fan had seen previously through Humanity Star Dust, represented various Law of the real world.

"The Tianxuan Mirror is analyzing the real world in its own way…"

"And here…"

A hint of comprehension appeared in Li Fan's eyes.

"Is the microcosm of the world's inception."
