Chapter 1187: Alone on the Immortal Boat

Chapter 1187: Alone on the Immortal Boat

"It's the character for 'hunger'..."

The obscure fluctuations from the nearby boat of the Daoist cultivators reached Li Fan's divine consciousness, and he quickly made a judgment.

Instead of approaching closely, he stayed inside the wooden house to observe.

"Elder Yan..." Elder Gou, who usually had a stern face, was nodding and fawning at this moment.

The people in the valley whispered in their hearts, but dared not show it. They even lowered their heads and dared not look directly at the Daoist cultivator in front of them.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Daoist cultivators were almost no different from the legendary immortals.

"Gou Liang, I heard that in the past few days, five people died in the Zhenzui Valley?" Elder Yan asked in a deep voice.

Gou Liang's body trembled, and he replied repeatedly, "Indeed. But it was just that those few sinners had bad luck. They only went out to work two or three times, and their conditions deteriorated, leading to their deaths. The Zhenzui Valley itself hasn't had any trouble..."

"Hmph! There's no such thing as luck..." A cold light flashed in Elder Yan's eyes, and he didn't explain further.

His huge divine consciousness instantly enveloped the entire Zhenzui Valley.

"Sure enough, this place has already been contaminated."

Elder Yan's face instantly turned dark, and a point of starlight appeared on his fingertips. He then pointed towards the residential area of the Zhenzui Valley where Li Fan's divine consciousness was located.

Unending light and heat destroyed everything within the area.

...

Outside the immortal boat.

Li Fan, who was hiding and comprehending the sacred fetus, raised his head slightly.

"Indeed, it's a civilization that has been able to survive for so long in the darkest Star Sea, and yet they're so cautious."

"It seems that in order to infiltrate, I need to deal with the problem of being a major source of infection. Otherwise, even if I hide well, causing a large number of deaths in the surrounding area would expose me."

"My soul has been in the darkest Star Sea for too long. It's difficult to return to normal. I need to split a part of my divine consciousness to lurk. With my previous experience, I can do it like this..."

For the next two months, the cultivators on the immortal boat did not go out to collect the remains of the world destruction.

But they obviously couldn't give up on the almost endless remains outside.

So Li Fan finally waited for a new collection team.

Following his previous experience, Li Fan's divine consciousness blended in with the remains and followed them onto the immortal boat.

However, this time the immortal boat was clearly much more cautious in handling the remains. When they were with the remains, the cultivators on the immortal boat always wore armor. After moving the remains to a sealed space, they left, and a vague seal appeared above the space.

"This is..."

The seal emitted a faint light, illuminating the dozen or so remains below.

Although Li Fan's divine consciousness was also bathed in the light, it was not affected at all.

However, as he watched the disappearing power of the true immortal characters on the remains being absorbed into the seal above through this dreamlike light, Li Fan's divine consciousness also felt that the various mysterious powers surrounding him were being absorbed by the seal.

In a short period of time, the power attached to the dozen or so remains in this space completely disappeared, turning them into worthless junk in the Star Sea.

The seal flickered faintly and then left the space.

"The immortal boat's use of the power of the true immortal characters is even higher than I imagined."

The space was completely sealed, and Li Fan's divine consciousness couldn't escape. However, he was not in a hurry.

Someone would definitely come to deal with the remaining "junk."

As expected, two days later, two Qi-Refining stage cultivators, led by a Foundation Building stage cultivator, entered.

"Move these things onto the ship."

"Be careful. Although the power of world destruction in these things is gone, they are still valuable antiques. Being able to survive in the Star Sea for so long indicates that their material is extraordinary. Send them all to the Forge Star Pavilion. They might be able to be repurposed." The Foundation Building stage cultivator ordered.

The two Qi-Refining stage cultivators were only fifteen or sixteen years old. They looked inexperienced.

Li Fan's divine consciousness pondered for a moment and attached itself to one of them.

Following the three people, they left the sealed space, boarded a small flying boat, and arrived at the so-called "Forge Star Pavilion."

It was a closed circular building made of unknown white metal.

In the center of the circle was a blazing fireball.

The terrifying heat waves constantly roiling on the surface of the fireball indicated the huge energy contained within it.

Occasionally, tiny flames could be seen being sucked into a small hole in the circular building.

The being in charge of receiving at the Forge Star Pavilion did not have the appearance of an ordinary human.

Instead, it was a strange being, half-human and half-beast, with a red body, two horns on its head, and a long tail trailing behind it.

The three people seemed very fearful of it. After placing the items down, they hurriedly piloted the flying boat and left.

After some commotion, they finally returned to their residence.

It was called the "Pathfinding Academy" and was also a solitary continent floating in the void.

The academy was towering, reaching into the clouds.

They went to the lower level of the academy to report to their mentor.

Their mentor was an Elderly Infant stage cultivator named Zhao Wujing, who was already white-haired.

When he saw the three return, he put away the book and artifact he was reading and asked kindly, "Is everything taken care of?"

The three of them bowed their heads and responded, "Mentor, everything has been handled properly."

"Do you know why I asked you to make this trip?" Zhao Wujing asked again.

The three of them were at a loss, not knowing how to answer.

"Not long ago, the Zhenzui Valley was destroyed. The survivors were taken away and isolated for observation. It is said that the cause of the incident was the improper collection of remains outside the Zhenzui Valley, which led to the spread of the power of world destruction."

"Haha..."

"This process has been set by the Immortal Pivot Court and has been the same for thousands of years. Even if there were occasional errors, it has never caused such a big fuss before. But this time, it has caused such a huge uproar," Zhao Wujing paused suddenly.

At this point, the Foundation Building stage cultivator among the three suddenly realized, "Mentor, are you saying that the Breakin

g Immortal Tower is taking advantage of this opportunity to challenge?"

"That's right." Zhao Wujing showed a look of being pleased with a teachable disciple. "It's not just the Zhenzui Valley. Next, any area within the influence of the Immortal Pivot Court will face the attack of the Breaking Immortal Tower."

"The Immortal Pivot Court has been in power for too long, and those who covet the leadership of the immortal boat have been waiting for too long."

Zhao Wujing sighed softly.

The three disciples of Zhao Wujing had different expressions upon hearing this.

The Foundation Building disciple's eyes were turning, as if he was calculating something.

One of the Qi-Refining disciples lowered his head, pondering his mentor's words.

And the other one, the one in whom Li Fan's divine consciousness was attached, seemed completely indifferent.

He seemed lost in thought, as if he was wandering in a distant reverie.
