My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1410 - 1283_3
"They’re lying. There must be some other method,"
Li Fan’s spirit consciousness flashed with several possibilities, but he had not yet reached the true core of the Immortal Boat.
He hadn’t been able to pinpoint the correct answer.
Just as he was pondering, a message interrupted his thoughts.
"Brother Zhao, come quickly!"
It was from Wang Hai, a fellow disciple under Ai Tianjue.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Hai scarcely sought out Li Fan. His urgency this time indicated something truly urgent must have happened.
Without waiting for Ai Tianjue’s instructions, Li Fan headed straight back to Wang Hai’s residence.
"Brother Zhao, take a look at this."
"The report from the Immortal Boat has such a huge oversight."
Wang Hai didn’t attend this meeting, but he had already obtained a report from several powers of the Immortal Boat drafted collectively.
Narrowing his eyes, Li Fan saw that Wang Hai was holding a jade scroll exuding an ancient aura,
and the content recorded inside surprised Li Fan.
"...thus, the Mystic Immortal Boat reached the most critical moment of life and death. To solve the survival issue of the Immortal Boat monks, they finally utilized the last remaining Immortal Instruments on the Immortal Boat."
"[Seed of Life]."
"As a black seed, ordinary and unremarkable, was planted, a Divine Tree took root and sprouted on the shattered body of the Immortal Boat."
"It was with the reinforcement of the Divine Tree that the broken Immortal Boat gradually maintained stability."
"As the saying goes, every drink and peck is predestined. That Immortal Instrument from the Xuanhuang World, deemed worthless in trade, eventually became the lifesaver of the Immortal Boat..."
After reading the content of the jade scroll, Li Fan realized it was a historical record and a reflective essay on the aftermath of the Immortal Boat’s split.
"Where did this thing come from?" Li Fan was slightly stunned.
"Where from? It’s obviously a family heirloom," Wang Hai replied somewhat inexplicably.
"I read all the collected jade scrolls in my house when I was young, so I remember this part. Clearly, the Divine Tree of the Immortal Boat comes from the Xuanhuang World. But this report states the Immortal Boat holds no Immortal Instruments..."
Observing Li Fan’s peculiar expression, Wang Hai hastily explained, "I knew there had to be something fishy, so I haven’t announced it yet. Isn’t that why I asked you to come?"
"I just wanted to test and see if pointing out this error would count as a [Rectification] merit. If not, then we’ll act as if I’ve never mentioned it."
The so-called [Rectification] merit was one of the few great honors that a Mystic Immortal Boat monk could accumulate. While cultivating and studying, if one found and pointed out errors in the Immortal Boat’s hereditary texts or proposed improvements, they could earn lavish rewards.
For countless years, the Immortal Boat hadn’t been dogmatic but survived in the Star Sea through the wisdom of generations of monks.
Li Fan returned the jade scroll and bluntly stated, "In my view, this is not an error, but rather the Immortal Boat deliberately concealing the connection of the Divine Tree to the Xuanhuang World."
"Why would they do that? There’s no need for it..." Wang Hai was astonished.
Li Fan then showed him the sixteen characters from Lan Yu’s memories.
"Ah, now I remember."
"Why the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals sent a Flying Boat to the End of the Star Sea," Wang Hai mused thoughtfully.
Li Fan whispered, "This is the Unlimited Communication Method, a secret of the Immortal Boat."
Wang Hai was shocked, about to say more, but Li Fan stopped him.
"The Divine Tree of the Immortal Boat comes from Xuanhuang, are there still Xuanhuang Cultivators who possess its techniques?"
"The Divine Tree saved the Immortal Boat, yet we are about to attack the Immortal Cultivation World that once gave the Divine Tree. Isn’t this returning kindness with enmity?"
"If we reveal the truth, it will undoubtedly cause many misgivings among the crew of the Immortal Boat. Better to keep it under wraps. After all, it’s been many years, and few know of the incident," Li Fan explained.
"Besides, there might be spies from the Xuanhuang World within the Immortal Boat. If this secret is leaked, it would be greatly disadvantageous to us," Wang Hai added, regaining his composure, as he transmitted his voice.
Li Fan nodded in agreement.
"Alas, what a pity. I thought I had finally discovered an error," Wang Hai said, somewhat dejected.
"You need not worry. The anomaly in the Star Sea is impending. As the remaining Power of the True Immortal in the Star Sea slowly awakens, our comprehension of the True Immortal Seal Characters will also become easier," Li Fan consoled, his expression enigmatic.
...
"[Seed of Life]?"
In the Xuanhuang World, Li Fan’s split spirit, attached to Sun Tianci of the Sun Family, tried to search his spirit consciousness for clues related to these four characters.
"The names don’t match, but the appearance is very similar to the relic of the Shenmu Sect after its destruction, as recorded."
Li Fan pondered.
The Shenmu Sect, one of the ancient Immortal Gates of the Xuanhuang World.

It existed in the same era as the Wild God Sect and the Reincarnation Sect, during the era of major cultivation before the Immortal Way was severed.
The [Sitting Mountain Secret] that Li Fan was familiar with also stemmed from this sect.
The Shenmu Sect possessed an Exotic Divine Tree, which because of its continuous growth, threatened the existence of the Ruo Mu.
Conflict ensued.
Eventually, the Shenmu Sect was destroyed and hence vanished from history.
Aside from the fact that the Ruo Mu was at the peak of its life and exceedingly powerful during the collapse of the Shenmu Sect, and other cultivators lent their strength,
the more crucial reason was the same as with the Wild God Sect. The connection between the Shenmu Sect and the Immortal World inexplicably severed, rendering many of their techniques unusable.
