Chapter 695: Chapter 661: Charred Black End
“If Tiandu has indeed fallen, it must be a replica created later on in remembrance.” Fang Zaiji spoke thus.
While Li Fan nodded on the surface, he had different thoughts in his heart.
Although Fang Zaiji repeatedly claimed that the shadow in the heart of Tiandu is infinitely mysterious and undoubtedly a True Immortal, the whole affair exuded a somewhat strange aura.
Many years after the Immortal Path has been severed, there is actually a True Immortal passing through Xuanhuang World. Moreover, facing cultivators who are like ants, he would even voluntarily preach and impart the law.
If you had to ask honestly, how many cultivators passing through Mortal City would kindly descend and even teach them the law of cultivation?
I’m afraid that, like Shuo Feng, it’s more likely they would indiscriminantly slaughter all mortals with a random sword strike and not give a care. That is the norm.
For the cultivators who rudely visit, it would be good enough if they didn’t get killed, let alone being kindly imparted the law.
Moreover, if what Fang Zaiji said is true, then there is a clear issue with the figure of Tiandu. The preaching could not be intended, but rather an instinctive act.
That being the case, the child figure standing next to the shadow of Tiandu, who had been the only one to act from beginning to end, and who is also the Tiandu Grandmaster, is highly suspicious.
“Perhaps this person was attracted by the Immortal Ruins, and was forced to descend onto Xuanhuang World. And his true power may not necessarily be that of a fairy. However, since the Mystic Sky Sect failed to take down Tiandu at the beginning, his power certainly couldn’t be weak. At the very least, he is in the half-step realm of True Immortality, and is on par with [King Xuan Tian] from the Mystic Sky Sect.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“And allowing cultivators from the Immortal Dao Ten Clans to enter Tiandu may just be to cause some trouble for the Mystic Sky Sect. After all, what an Immortal would care about should be something on the same level.”
“Immortal Spirit Energy?”
In an instant, Li Fan envisioned a grand play as a conspiracy theorist.
Although they were all unfounded speculations, one thing could be almost confirmed now. The abnormality of Yuandao State must be related to Tiandu.
“As the inheritor of Tiandu Purple Qi, would you like to take a look at Yuandao State?” Li Fan asked tentatively.
Fang Zaiji shook his head repeatedly, “Hehe, I better not. An Unity-Path cultivator who has lived for more than a thousand years is definitely stronger than me. Isn’t it like throwing myself into the mouth of a tiger if I go there? Sect Master, let’s go and take care of business.”
Li Fan gave a slight smile and nodded.
After this little interlude, the two spent half a day before they finally arrived at the border of Shilin State.
The scene that met their eyes caused Li Fan’s pupils to shrink slightly.
Looking in the distance, the earth was deeply sunken and burnt black. Black flowing magma could be seen everywhere, the entire landscape reminiscent of the apocalypse.
Black magma would occasionally spurt out from the earth, spreading in the air, causing the air to become torrid and distorted.
What frightened Li Fan even more was that both the ground and the air of this burnt basin were irregularly scattered with numerous pitch-black holes.
Like an apple that has been eaten, it was a sight of devastation.
Moreover, Li Fan found that these pitch-black nothingness areas were not completely still. They seemed to have their own life, moving slowly towards their surrounding, and at times suddenly leaping to another location, swallowing everything within its area.
Facing this rather shocking scene, even Fang Zaiji, a cultivator of the Unity Realm, looked solemn.
“Sect Master, do we really need to go?” He asked hesitantly.
Li Fan didn’t immediately answer, instead, he observed carefully for a long time.
“If we’re careful, it shouldn’t be a problem. The jumps of the Voidmeld Abyss seem random, but they actually follow certain rules. They only jump to relatively blank areas, and they won’t get close to the positions where the Abyss has already formed.”
“So we just need to keep a certain distance from the Voidmeld Abyss, and we can proceed on our way.”
“And, don’t we have the Medicine King Cauldron?”
Saying so, Li Fan threw the Medicine King Cauldron towards a black hole not far away.
“Sect Master!” Fang Zaiji exclaimed softly.
The Medicine King Cauldron emitted a yellow light, enveloping itself. In the void, although the radiance gradually dimmed, it still persisted for over a dozen breaths of time.
“You see, even if we accidentally get in, such a length of time is enough for us to escape.” Li Fan called back the Medicine King Cauldron, looked at Fang Zaiji, and smiled.
“Sect Master, you’re too bold. If something goes wrong with the Medicine King Cauldron, what should we do?” Fang Zaiji grumbled.
“Don’t we have you? Even if the Medicine King Cauldron is gone, I’m sure Mr. Fang could forge a new one for us in the Medicine King Sect.” Li Fan said nonchalantly.
Fang Zaiji replied with a beaming face at these words, no longer chattering. He followed Li Fan and rode the Medicine King Cauldron into the burnt basin.
Li Fan identified the direction, cautiously heading towards the location in his memory.
“It’s really terrifying and dreadful, not sure how a fine sea ended up encountering such a catastrophe.” Looking at the scenery around, Fang Zaiji sighed, “In our time, such things never happened. Looking at this trend, it seems like Heaven and Earth wants to completely destroy this place.”
Li Fan stayed silent.
Cloud Sea was originally extremely vast, and to avoid the omni-present Voidmeld Abyss, their flying speed was even more affected. Hence, after more than thirty days, Li Fan and his party finally arrived at the entrance of the Exotic Beast Mini World.
However, the scene here made Li Fan’s expression a bit unpleasant.
The original location of the entrance has been completely devoured by the void. Naturally, the entrance tunnel no longer existed.
After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan recalled that Han Yi had once exited from another location when he came out of the Mini World.
So he moved towards that direction.
Luckily, the location was not within the range of the Voidmeld Abyss this time, but it was hidden under the black magma.
“Sect Master, if our exit is swallowed by the void once we enter, wouldn’t we be unable to return?” Just as Li Fan was about to enter, Fang Zaiji suddenly stopped him and asked.
“No bother, I am prepared.”
Saying so, Li Fan cleared out the black magma. Then he took out a piece of paper from his Storage Ring and lightly pressed it onto the entrance of the Mini World.
It was as if a spot of ink had seeped onto the paper, and patterns began to slowly appear.
“This is…” Fang Zaiji’s eyes narrowed slightly. He couldn’t recognize it for a moment.
“This is the Station Deposition Paper. It can duplicate and record the data of the spatial tunnel’s node here. Next, once we enter the Mini World, perform the same operation on the entrance of the opposite side, then we can establish a new tunnel.”
After the patterns on the Station Deposition Paper were fully formed, Li Fan took out a door-shaped charm and threw it onto the paper.
Under the cover of the charm, a light-colored door was formed.
“Young Master, this side can connect now.” The voice of Liu San faintly came from the door.
Li Fan gestured lightly, and the Station Deposition Paper flew into it.
“Mr. Fang, let’s go. Elder Liu on the other side, will prepare to build a new tunnel in the Valley of Eternal Life.”
