Life and death move forward

The exquisiteness of this Formation was not even below the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array that Li Fan had learned in his previous life.

Even with the extraordinary Formation attainments of both him and Huangfu Song, it took them a long time and mutual discussion to barely understand this Formation.

Of course, it was merely understanding it.

As for how the Formation operated and how Death Qi and vitality transformed, it somewhat exceeded the scope of their comprehension abilities.

"Reversing the principles of life and death…"

"The mastermind behind Blue Feather's failure in Dao attainment, the Cultivator who walked out of the White Mist as if alive despite being dead, could it be related to the Formation here?" Li Fan was immensely shaken inside.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Song was muttering to himself, "If one dies, both body and Dao are extinguished; how can there be the principle of returning from the dead? Inconceivable, inconceivable…"

Looking at his two companions who seemed to be possessed and had not woken up after a long time, Dongfang Yao, who knew nothing about Formations, felt both annoyed and anxious.

Finally, he couldn't help but let out an angry shout, waking the two of them up.

"You two have studied for so long, is there finally a conclusion or not?" he asked with a frown.

Huangfu Song shook his head and decisively replied, "In my view, even if Chief Lu of our Strategy Formation Hall personally came, she might not be able to set up this Formation. Such a magnificent and gigantic Formation is actually unknown to the world, quietly hidden within the White Mist Mystic Domain…"

A trace of panic flashed across his face: "It seems we have mistakenly entered the setup of a mighty figure who is [attaining the Dao of Longevity]."

"There are countless Mystic Domains in the White Mist, yet we just happened to encounter the one containing this Formation. I really don't know whether this is fortune or misfortune," Huangfu Song said with a pale expression.

"Perhaps it is not any coincidence. What if there is more than one Mystic Domain where this Formation exists?" Li Fan suddenly said.

Hearing this, Huangfu Song suddenly froze.

Then he was even more terrified and shocked, not daring to speak further.

In fact, Li Fan was hiding many things he hadn't said.

It was because he heard the suspected murmurs of the "Heavenly Doctor" that he followed the source of the sound and found this Mystic Domain.

In this Mystic Domain, there was the Reversing Life and Death Great Formation.

And in the previous life, a Cultivator successfully reversed the principles of life and death, achieving a new Celestial Venerable of Longevity.

Connecting all this, it seemed logical to deduce that the Heavenly Doctor was the one orchestrating all of this behind the scenes.

It was also he who ascended to become the Celestial Venerable of Longevity shortly after.

But…

Li Fan still had some doubts in his heart.

Reasonably speaking, the Formation in this Mystic Domain was the key for the Heavenly Doctor to attain the Dao of Longevity.

Such an important place should not have tolerated the slightest mishap.

How could they let Li Fan and the others barge in so easily?

"This completely undefended appearance…"

"Is it a trap? Or does the master of this place not care much about this Formation at all? Or perhaps, he has absolute confidence that even if someone mistakenly enters, they cannot shake the Foundation of the Formation at all?"

Li Fan suddenly thought of that small wooden cabin on the Liberation Mountain Peak of Great Xuan.

That was his dwelling and cultivation place while waiting for Huan Zhen to finish charging.

Just like the Mystic Domain here, no Formation protection was set up.

It was merely laying a layer of illusion outside Disintegration Mountain to prevent Mortals from mistakenly entering.

Because Li Fan felt there was no such necessity.

"I view Mortals as He views Cultivators?"

"Is it the Heavenly Doctor?"

Li Fan could not be certain either.

But Li Fan asked himself in his heart, even if he were only facing Mortals, if it concerned his advancement, out of caution he would definitely set up measures just in case.

"Yet He happened not to do so…"

Just when Li Fan was full of puzzlement, a remark from Dongfang Yao unintentionally awakened him.

"Brother Huangfu, I feel what you said is somewhat incorrect. Although I don't understand where the wonder of this Formation lies, since you say it can reverse life and death, wouldn't the Senior who set up this Formation be even more capable of doing so?"

"After all, if one doesn't understand the principles, how can one set up a Formation? Being able to reverse the principles of life and death, this is already the means of a Celestial Venerable of Longevity, right? Why have I never heard of this Celestial Venerable's name?"

Li Fan suddenly came to a realization: "That's right. I previously thought that the master of this place wanted to achieve the reversal of the principles of life and death through this Formation. But it is also possible that He Himself has long been able to do this. Then here…"

Li Fan looked around.

"It is not some place for attaining the Dao. Instead, it is a testing ground after attaining the Dao!"

Li Fan's thoughts spun rapidly.

"After attaining longevity, the Laws of heaven and earth also change accordingly. Logically speaking, with a single thought, these frozen Cultivators could be transformed from death to life. But He deliberately went out of His way to set up another Formation…"

"What else is He researching? Is achieving longevity not enough, and He wants to advance even further?"

Li Fan's gaze turned to the eye of the Reversing Life and Death Great Formation that he found earlier.

"Perhaps the answer is right there."

Li Fan said in a deep voice: "This Senior is probably a Celestial Venerable of Longevity who achieved it long ago. This place has already been abandoned by Him, which is why we can barge in so easily. Leaving from the Formation eye shouldn't have any danger. Let's set off quickly."

Saying this, without waiting for the two Huangfus to react, he took the lead and flew toward the Formation eye.

Hearing this, Huangfu Song and Dongfang Yao were slightly stunned.

Feeling that what Li Fan said made some sense, they hurriedly followed.

Before long, they came to the center of the great Formation, where the Death Qi was the thickest.

The strange beast in the dead black sea just now disappeared right here.

"Brother Li, shouldn't we reconsider?" Huangfu Song looked at the black seawater below and couldn't help feeling a bit timid.

Li Fan stared at the 200% charging progress of the Huan Zhen panel, shook his head, and said: "He who hesitates is lost. We have already explored this place thoroughly, and staying any longer will be of no use. Could it be that you still expect to comprehend this Reversing Life and Death Great Formation and then break out of the Formation? Rather than awaiting death, it's better to make a desperate gamble!"

Having said that, an extremely dense wood-attribute spiritual power surrounded his body.

"Follow me closely!" Li Fan let out a cold shout and suddenly plunged headfirst into the Dead Sea.

Seeing that things had reached this point, the two men, Huangfu and Dongfang, had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow.

Once entering the seawater, an unimaginable aura of death instantly swept over from all around.

Like countless crawling worms, they gnawed and sucked away Li Fan's vitality.

This feeling was extremely similar to the Essence Devouring White Mist.

Li Fan, who had personally experienced the depletion of his Lifespan in the White Mist, was not unfamiliar with it.

His heart was not very flustered as he took out five Longevity Pills in one breath and threw them into his mouth.

When the medicinal effect erupted, Li Fan forced the Longevity Green Force contained in the Medicinal Pills out of his body, forming a protective barrier to resist the erosion of the Death Qi.

Operating his escape art to the extreme, he rapidly dived downwards in the pitch-black seabed.

Within a few breaths, he was already about to reach the seabed.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if sensing the existence of a miniature whirlpool ahead.

Within the whirlpool, a trace of vitality suddenly appeared.

"That's it!"

Li Fan focused his mind, transformed into a streak of brilliant light, and rushed into the whirlpool.

The next moment…

After a slight sense of dizziness, light suddenly greeted his eyes.

A slightly intoxicating sea breeze, salty and humid air, the occasional cries of flying birds…

After Li Fan was able to clearly see the scenery before him, he had already arrived above a blue ocean.

Full of vitality.
