Chapter 2320: Chapter 2320 - 1735: Epiphany of the Salvation Law (Part 2)

After tasting the sweetness and realizing it was harmless, he repeatedly indulged in it.

Yet the unity of the three, in both mind and heart, was already the utmost limit Li Fan could accept.

Such openness to all the living beings of the Mountain Sea, like Guardian Hill, had never crossed his mind.

"Isn’t Guardian Hill a bit too extreme?"

"The living beings number in the billions, the variables are too many," Li Fan murmured.

Guardian Hill, however, did not abandon his idea, and the more he thought, the brighter his eyes became.

"The more noble the character, the more one can feel the greatness of the past Mr. Fan. I believe that even ordinary living beings in the Mountain Sea, upon sensing all that once transpired within the Mountain Sea, should be able to understand and then make the right choice. As for those who are stubbornly impervious..."

"They cannot stop the grand trend!"

Morality also added heavily, "Upon careful consideration, it does seem feasible!"

Guardian Hill continued, "If not for the constraint of the Three Saints Xuanji Ring, would the Mountain Sea Saints ever act with one heart and mind? Our plan merely imitates the story of the Three Saints. However, the Ring of Unity we wish to create surpasses the Xuanji Ring in scale. Our aspirations also surpass those of the Three Saints!"

"If not for a greater Ring of Unity enveloping the Mountain Sea, how could the beings of the Mountain Sea unite their hearts for their survival?"

Guardian Hill and Morality gazed intensely at Li Fan.

Their eyes were filled with unabashed fervor.

Li Fan naturally knew this fervor wasn’t directed at him.

It was, under the effect of unity of heart and mind, directed at the past Savior Saint.

"In a certain sense, my past actions infinitely approached the ideal self in Guardian Hill and Morality’s minds. Though not fully attained, their hearts aspired toward it. Yet under the influence of the Xuanji Ring, they personally experienced it. Naturally, they recognized it even more."

The short-term transformation of Guardian Hill and Morality could be described as uncanny.

Yet, it was reasonable.

At its root, the former Li Fan was simply too powerful. His deeds were too legendary. Even after death and the dispersion of thought, his past achievements alone could command and influence all saints.

"But so what?"

"The survival of the Mountain Sea still depends on me now." Li Fan sneered coldly to himself.

"Upon careful consideration, Guardian Hill and Morality’s plan might truly be feasible."

"It just requires long-term planning."

"Great Dao Returns to Truth Hall, seizing opportunities, Suo, Miracle Luck of the Mountain Sea..."

In Li Fan’s spirit consciousness, countless thoughts unfolded and transformed.

All Saints were currently cooperating wholeheartedly, striving to reconnect and save the Mountain Sea from the threat of the Void Realm’s army.

However, they were completely unaware that within their ranks, the Three Saints, and importantly, these Three Saints, had already undergone a covert transformation.

Although he had a vague plan, Li Fan dared not reveal a single bit.

He was keenly aware that if he didn’t expose his thoughts in a unified manner, he would immediately become the public enemy of the Mountain Sea!

The vast accumulation of past memories would also become treasures in others’ eyes.

His strength was still far from sufficient to execute the plan, requiring continued hibernation.

"However, perhaps it’s time to consider adding more like-minded candidates."

Witnessing the transformations of Guardian Hill and Morality, Li Fan turned his attention to the not-yet-Saint Mo Yongge beside him, in contemplation.

"Choosing candidates must be done cautiously."

"Like Guardian Hill and Morality, having a natural heart for the Mountain Sea is the minimum requirement."

"Ideally, they should have once fought alongside my past self, their character already proven."

Considering various aspects, Mo Yongge was undoubtedly an extremely suitable candidate.

Being able to leave a faint memory with Li Fan, Mo Yongge was certainly extraordinary.

Once a loyal follower and battle comrade of the former Li Fan, inseparable in life and death.

With [Song] as the proof of the Dao, the faint music echoed through the fragmented Mountain Sea, inspiring and encouraging the Dao Heart. It allowed all saints, even in desperate situations, to never give up and fight with all their might.

Though Mo Yongge had not yet become a saint, with Li Fan’s assistance, it was already a certainty.

"The only trouble is that the unity of heart and mind stems from the Three Saints Xuanji Ring."

"True unity is only with those who were the first to join the Three Saints. Later entrants at most are only subtly influenced."

"The Three Saints could become one, yet with other living beings in the Mountain Sea, there exists a natural gap, true unity and alignment are impossible. But I am different."

"To be flawless, the chosen ones must be truly united with me in heart!"

Li Fan’s eyes shimmered with a cold light.

"The Xuanji Ring is highly intricate, and it was extremely difficult to unravel it back then. To reconfigure it now on its foundation..."

"It cannot be done without understanding its principles."

Li Fan had not let himself be confused by his past self.

He still had a very clear understanding of his strength.

"With my current understanding of the Xuanji Ring, even with the addition of Guardian Hill and Morality, it is probably impossible to add another into the Xuanji Ring."

"The one who ties the bell must untie it. To achieve the goal, it still depends on the Three Saints."

"But how to promote this secretly?"

Li Fan looked at the increasingly critical situation in the Mountain Sea under the dark clouds of the Void Realm. A general idea formed in his mind.

"Yet, I must not be hasty, or else risk exposure."

"Compared to my past self, the number of reincarnations I’ve experienced is negligible. I can proceed slowly."

Once he understood the truth of Hai Zhen, his worries about her leaving him at any moment vanished.

This allowed for more secure planning of everything.

To unify knowledge and action.

What Li Fan did was exactly as he thought.

Continuing to seek out Saint Transformation in the Mountain Sea.

Besides the three of the Holy Dynasty, he found two more promising talents.

Sparing no True Spirit, assisting them with utmost effort.

Even more sincerely and attentively than in the past when things were done perfunctorily.

As he saw it, these newly ascended saints could very well be his allies in the future.

While infusing the True Spirit, Li Fan also pondered the so-called True Spirit he mobilized.

With the memories of his past self, his understanding of them subtly changed.

"Accumulated True Spirit is the remnant after the destruction of the Mountain Sea."

"And the Mountain Sea originated from God."

"In a certain sense, this is also the fundamental reason humans can become Immortals and Saints."

"The accumulated True Spirit and the innate True Spirit of living beings have no substantial difference."

"In other words, the Dao Yan disaster of the Void Realm has no effect on the True Spirit itself."

"Only when the Lone Star appears can they be erased."

"But, is it truly erasure, or absorption?"

Recalling the scene he once saw, Li Fan pondered to himself.

He once considered releasing all the True Spirit stored within his body.

Hai Zhen, upon sensing it, showed an unprecedented warning.

"In theory, even if the Mountain Sea is overturned, it can be restored with a thought through True and False Changes."

"Which means..."

"The torrent of True Spirit can even impact Hai Zhen’s reconstruction of the Mountain Sea?"
