Chapter 1819: Chapter 1464: The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Might_2

Compared to the Mystic Coffin itself, the method used to seal the Transcendent Mystical Coffin seems somewhat crude.

It’s like a few coarse ropes tied messily on a flawless white wall.

Indeed, it is sturdy.

But with the help of the High Wall, or say, the gaze of the Inheritor’s Illusion of Lord Guardian Hill, Li Buren easily sees the key to unraveling this knot.

“So, at the realm of the Lord Guardian Hill, all methods are accessible. No matter what Divine Technique or magic you use, I can break it at a glance from a superior vantage point.”

Li Buren was lost for a moment, then a thought suddenly emerged in his spirit consciousness.

“I just wonder if, besides ‘seeing,’ I can also tap into more of the power of the Guardian Hill’s illusion?”

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

He tried to recall the contents of [Rambles from the Guarded Hill] stored in his memory and felt the lingering presence left by Lord Guardian Hill on the Taishi Chair beneath him.

He seemed to see again the solitary figure of the Watcher of the Sea and Hill standing through the ages.

At this moment, Li Buren felt as if he had returned to the core of the High Wall, where the five illusions resided!

In the center of the illusions, being collectively watched.

Li Buren felt immense pressure.

This was not about receiving inheritance, so the illusions did not seem to have active defense. It was like facing the Mountain and Sea directly, along with the Lord Guardian Hill upon them.

Li Buren felt like his body was being pressed entirely into the Taishi Chair.

Not only physically but also mentally.

Keenly, he detected that the five surrounding illusions of Lord Guardian Hill seemed to have moved a bit closer to him. Li Buren promptly bounced off the Taishi Chair.

Like falling from the clouds to the mortal world, his limitless visible field was compressed back to a singular point.

Li Buren felt a moment of discomfort.

Fortunately, he did not have strong subjective will and quickly adjusted.

“Indeed, the power of the illusion can be borrowed.”

“However, the illusion is mainly for bearing the Path-obliterating Calamity, and not much power can be tapped from it. It is a double-edged sword.”

“The gap between the illusion of Lord Guardian Hill and myself is too vast. Even if Lord Guardian Hill has no ill intentions, using it rashly will inevitably lead to being assimilated.”

This was the conclusion Li Buren reached through analysis.

But Li Fan’s true self was far happier than Li Buren.

“After leaping out of the Abyss Star Ocean and seeing the Dao Network, Immortal Hunt, Nameless True Immortals, and other existences, I’ve always been treading on thin ice. I’ve been cautious in every action, constantly wary that these great powers might trace the connections and find the Xuanhuang World.”

“But now…”

Li Fan’s true self suddenly stood up, looking towards the direction of the High Wall, overflowing with joy.

Earlier, his true self did not notice the trend towards assimilation that Li Buren sensed.

This means, even if using the illusion of the Guardian Hill causes any impact, it would not affect him.

“The Lord Guardian Hill can single-handedly withstand the great Path-obliterating Calamity. Even the Ruling Immortal Emperor of the Immortal World pays respect like a junior when seeing him…”

“The illusion he left behind should definitely not be something an ordinary True Immortal could contend with.”

“The more power I can borrow from the illusion, the stronger I become.”

“In other words, in this area near the High Wall, I might not even fear if Nameless himself comes!”

It had been a long time since Li Fan was this excited.

With Hai Zhen, all treasures in the world seemed to lose their immense value to him.

Theoretically, as long as he wished, no matter how precious or rare an item was, he could make it infinite.

But the illusion of Lord Guardian Hill was valuable not because of its quantity.

Like Hai Zhen, its mere existence was its greatest value!

It was like finding an against-the-heavens item in a game. Li Fan couldn’t wait to give it a try.

His sight turned to the Mystic Coffin quietly floating outside the High Wall.

“You two have rested long enough.”

“Let me trouble you to test the true quality of the Guardian Hill’s illusion!”

Indeed, using the illusion of the Guardian Hill would have significant negative impacts.

Perhaps if used excessively, it might even bring about the early arrival of the Path-obliterating Calamity.

But none of these were within Li Fan’s considerations!

Upon receiving Li Fan’s command, Li Buren, after a brief rest, sat back on the Taishi Chair again.

At the same time, “Ma Tiande,” initially sleeping in the Oblivion Land’s Earth Starry Sky, suddenly opened his eyes.

The sight of the illusion of the Guardian Hill slowly aligned with that of this body.

The previously flawless, impenetrable Transcendent Mystical Coffin now felt as though it could be broken through instantly.

Ma Tiande showed a meaningful smile and gently drew towards the “rope knot” in his field of vision.

The tangled knot of myriad cords was thus easily and directly unraveled.

With a dull roar, the coffin lid also moved away.

Qian Ruochang and Wu Xian inside the coffin were obviously stunned by this sudden change.

Then, without a moment’s hesitation, they exploded with their full potential, attempting to escape the coffin.

At the moment they leaped from the Transcendent Mystical Coffin, Li Fan also saw their true appearance.

First, Qian Ruochang.

From a normal perspective, he’s a burly muscular man holding a giant column, massive and fierce.

But in the Guardian Hill’s illusion’s view, Qian Ruochang wasn’t even “human.”

He was a mass of cloud-like qi.

Or perhaps, an aggregate of the Great Dao.

Just like the silver skeletons that Li Fan glimpsed earlier, which closely resembled the Dao Network, Qian Ruochang’s entire being manifested directly from strands of the Great Dao.

Only the controlling core inside Qian Ruochang’s body belonged to a normal human’s divine soul.

It’s like a miniature Dao Network draped over a person’s divine soul.

“No wonder Qian Ruochang felt somewhat peculiar to me.”

“What is this? The Dao descending upon the body? Or a Dao Network mech?”

This method of Qian Ruochang indeed allows a mortal body to wield the power of the Great Dao. Below Nameless, even True Immortals find it hard to contend.

But the drawbacks are also quite apparent.

Disconnected from the Infinite Sea and not truly linked to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, every ounce of power consumed cannot be replenished. Though the miniature Dao Network is said to be infinitely powerful, it cannot last long.

More critically, the divine soul wrapped by the miniature Dao Network is constantly tightened by the Dao String. It’s as if being sliced by a thousand blades, the degree of pain is imaginable.

This doesn’t mean that just strong willpower can sustain this. Under such pressure, the divine soul being cut into countless fragments is inevitable.

A strong divine soul and resolute will only slow this process.

“Even with a Divine Technique akin to my Infinite Fulfillment and Emptiness, it’s useless.”

“Based on Qian Ruochang’s current divine soul strength, it can last at most three hundred years.”

“For a mortal, this is considered a long life. For the Realm of True Immortality, it’s too short.”

Li Fan looked at Wu Xian.

Claimed to sever all ties with the world.

But from Li Fan’s current perspective, it was far from it.
