Chapter 606: Chapter 578: The Colorful Black and White Duel

“Hm?”

Li Fan squinted, trying to make out what was blocking his way in the darkness.

However, to his surprise, neither his psychic senses nor physical touch indicated any obstacles ahead.

Li Fan frowned slightly.

This time, instead of resonating with the ripples in the space, he deliberately missed the timing of the ripples’ formation and flew straight ahead.

Strangely, the “wall” he perceived in the ripples just now seemed non-existent at this moment.

Li Fan could distinctly sense a change in his position in this void space.

Or rather, a part of his positional properties had changed.

The other part, however, still halted in its place.

It was as if moving on his own and moving along with the ripples were two different levels that didn’t interfere with each other.

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

He didn’t bother pondering the cause behind this phenomenon; instead, he let his mind go blank until the next ripple vibration in the void came.

He integrated with it, knowing full well the existence of an obstacle ahead, and still, he charged fiercely towards it.

“Boom!”

The next moment, Li Fan was seeing stars and was forcibly detached from the ripple.

After a quick check, he found that his body was unharmed, but his Divine Soul seemed to have been shocked slightly.

Li Fan deliberated for a moment before temporarily giving up on such reckless attempts.

Without leaving, Li Fan stood quietly in the void, honing his senses whenever the ripples approached.

He was trying to find out why he was isolated while the ripple vibrations could pass freely.

When focusing, the ripple vibrations appearing intermittently in the absolute darkness and silence became notably conspicuous.

Li Fan recorded the timing of each ripple’s appearance.

After patiently collecting thousands of sample data, he used the Huadao Stone in his Spirit Consciousness to recreate the phenomenon, searching for potential hidden patterns.

Effort never betrays.

Li Fan discovered that after about a thousand oscillations, there would appear a ripple that differed from the others with its noticeably higher intensity.

It also spread through the void at a speed nearly twice as fast as ordinary.

A thought occurred to Li Fan. He calculated the numbers, waiting for the next time this peculiar fluctuation would come.

He concentrated his Spirit Consciousness and merged with it.

This time there was a result; it no longer felt like crashing headfirst into a wall.

Instead, it was as if he was constantly rubbing against the surrounding obstructions.

A cutting pain emerged from deep within his Soul body. Li Fan enduring the excruciating pain, gritting his teeth and holding on.

But as the ripple continued to penetrate, the “incompatibility” with the surroundings became increasingly evident.

The sensation of cutting slowly turned into brutal tearing. This unbearable pain made Li Fan almost lose consciousness instantly.

It was only his instinctual self-preservation that pulled him out of the state of one with his Spirit Consciousness.

“Phew…”

Li Fan was panting heavily, his whole body soaked with sweat from the pain.

Even without merging with the ripple, the pain from his Soul body tearing still seemed to persist.

It took two cycles of the “Thousand Movement Ripples” for the sensation in his spirit to slowly fade.

A hint of hesitation appeared on Li Fan’s recovered face.

However, when the next Thousand Movement Ripples came, he still threw himself into it.

This time, he seemed to hold on a bit longer than the previous time.

Or perhaps it was just his illusion.

After a short rest, without waiting for the pain to fully dissipate, Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness once again fused with the ripple.

“Ah!”

A touch of ferocity appeared on Li Fan’s face. His body, affected by the pain of his Divine Soul, started to spasm.

A flash of fierceness appeared in his eyes. The thoughts of “giving up” that emerged in his Spirit Consciousness were instantly annihilated by the [Mystic Yellow Heart-Purifying Incantation]’s Reverse Cultivation Dao Heart technique.

“Just a mere pain wants to stop me?”

“Again!”

Next, in the process of trying to ride the “Thousand Movement Ripples” into the depths of the void again and again,

Li Fan endured unspeakable torment.

The pain in his Soul body continued to escalate, from tearing to being pricked by thousands of needles, and then to feeling as if he was being crushed over and over again.

In the end, Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness was almost completely hollowed out.

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

During this process, the Mystic Yellow Heart-Purifying Incantation also played a crucial role.

Human nature is such that when faced with pain, one would always choose to escape.

Especially during this torture where his Soul body seemed to be subjected to a great deal of pain, thoughts like “let’s give up”, “why bother”, “it’s not necessary at all” would naturally arise in Li Fan’s mind every minute and second.

These thoughts that were enough to shake Li Fan’s decision were all transformed into nourishment for his Soul body under the effect of the Reverse Cultivation Heart Mill.

If it had not been for this, even with Li Fan’s perseverance, he was afraid he couldn’t have endured this agony.

However, in any case, Li Fan finally succeeded.

He didn’t know how much time had passed. When he regained his senses from the blur,

he found himself in a space that was strange yet faintly familiar.

Across Heaven and Earth, lines crossed each other horizontally and vertically, with particles of various colors racing along these lines from time to time.

Sometimes, when horizontal and vertical particles collided, they would explode into brilliant seven-colored radiance in mid-air and then disappear in a blink.

“Where am I?”

Li Fan first checked his own body.

It seemed to be composed of coarse lines, which was comical and bizarre.

However, the sensations coming from his body were no different from those of the normal body.

Without making any abrupt moves, he carefully observed this magical space while avoiding the colorful particles that whizzed by from time to time.

“It seems a bit similar to the Tianxuan Mirror Space I saw before.”

“But the Tianxuan Mirror only had black and white, unlike here, where it’s full of colors.”

“Wait, I remember…”

A thought occurred to Li Fan, and he pulled up the stored images in the Huadao Stone to review carefully.

In the end, he noticed that at the edge of the black-and-white world, there was also the presence of a seven-colored light.

Black and white and seven colors seemed to be two entirely different contradictory energies.

In the world of black and white, the seven-colored light was cut off and transformed into a part of it.

“Tianxuan Rebirth Mirror…”

Li Fan squinted as he fell into thought.

Soon after, he had a guess.

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

It was highly likely that the seven-colored radiance was a reflection of the real world.

The crossed lines represented the Principle of Heaven and Earth, just like what Li Fan previously saw in the [Mortal Stardust], representing various laws of the real world.

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

“And this place…”

A hint of understanding dawned on Li Fan’s eyes.

“Is a miniature of the primeval world.”
