My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1551 - 1336: The Cause of the World’s Destruction That Year_2
Chapter 1551: Chapter 1336: The Cause of the World’s Destruction That Year_2
“But what exactly are the secrets that must be concealed in such a way instead of being clearly expressed?” Li Fan was filled with countless doubts in his heart.
“Xiaoyao, Mysterious Merchant, Guang Hai, North Ge, Ling Qiu…”
Having once been a young master of the Medicine King Sect, Li Fan naturally knew the information transmitted by the ancestor Sun Piaomiao of the Medicine King Sect. However, he did not pay much attention to it at that time.
Firstly, the Great Calamity had descended, causing the destruction of all realms; secondly, due to the existence of the Immortal Ruins, even if these Cultivating Immortality worlds were not destroyed, their spatial locations would have definitely shifted. Hence, the waymarks passed down by Sun Piaomiao became meaningless.
“What if, Sun Piaomiao had foreseen the current situation and thus also left the Medicine King Cauldron to assist?” A bold speculation suddenly emerged in Li Fan’s mind.
There was no concrete evidence, just a flash of inspiration that crossed Li Fan’s mind.
The discussion of the Elders of the Immortal Boat continued.
“The power contained within the Medicine King Cauldron is very mysterious. Perhaps with such a connection, one can maintain a sense of direction in the Great Void. In this way, even if the exploration is not successful, at least we can safely return and not lose our lives in vain.”
“You must know, the Great Void is quite literally a great void. According to the limited records, there’s no light, no Spiritual Power, not even a stage for Divine Sense to propagate, a place of absolute nothingness…”
Mo YinFeng’s speculation won the approval of some Elders of the Immortal Boat.
Exploring the Great Void was one of the most noble ideals and pursuits of Cultivators at that time. It was entirely possible for Sun Piaomiao to have done so.
“Regardless of his purpose, if we can figure out the mysterious force that maintains the connection with this small cauldron, it would definitely be a good thing for our Immortal Boat,” they reasoned.
With a clear goal, the subsequent research progress was much smoother.
After unanimous voting by all Elders, including Li Fan, it was decided to completely melt down the Medicine King Cauldron to force out the mysterious power contained within.
As the official alchemy cauldron, the solidity of the Medicine King Cauldron was beyond doubt. After all, its counterpart had previously shouldered the mission of carrying the entire Medicine King Sect across the Void.
However, to the Immortal Boat that had mastered the True Immortal Seal Character Power, the solidity of the Medicine King Sect was not worth mentioning.
Bang! Bang!
Under the pressure of an invisible colossal force, the ancient bronze small cauldron instantly shattered into thousands of pieces, and then continued to be ground as if it was being refined into even finer particles.
In the end, these particles ceased to exist.
Yet, the expressions of the Elders of the Immortal Boat gradually became more solemn as the dissolution process progressed.
Because they discovered that the substances constituting the Medicine King Cauldron did not disappear with the increase in external force applied.
They just became more refined.
“Prior analysis suggested that the Medicine King Cauldron was forged from rare ores and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of various Cultivating Immortality realms.”
“Now it seems, it was all an illusion!”
“This kind of material…”
The Elders of the Immortal Boat stared intently at the final transformation within the force field.
It was so small it could hardly be seen with the naked eye, and if it were not for the continuous monitoring, even Divine Sense would not be able to detect it easily.
Condensed to the extreme, yet it was not a purely spherical shape.
Instead, it was slightly flat, with both sides bulging, resembling the shape of a chess piece!
“Could it be that the grand Medicine King Cauldron was transformed from this object?”
All of the Elders were dumbstruck.
Li Fan also gazed at the gray chess piece, his thoughts seemingly traveling back to the lifetime when the Holy Embryo Incarnation wielded the enhanced Medicine King Cauldron and charged towards the Immortal Ruins.
“At that time, I was shocked by the True Immortal’s world-destroying glance, without noticing the strangeness. But now in retrospect, there seem to be some inconsistencies.”
“In a True Immortal’s eyes, Cultivators are like ants. Not to mention the Holy Embryo with just a mortal’s Cultivation Base.”
“How could a True Immortal who is in seclusion be disturbed?”
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
“Just like my seclusion, I would never be interrupted by ants. In any case, before the ants could approach, they would be torn apart by my protective measures, turning into nothing.”
“Yet precisely, that True Immortal of the Immortal Ruins had his seclusion truly disturbed!”
“You must know, in my previous life when I used the Immortal Array to annihilate Xuan Huang, He merely sent a Divine Fragment shadow to inspect.”
“And that lifetime…”
Li Fan’s eyes narrowed as if he had returned to that scene.
In the pitch-black field of vision, a continuous wilderness abruptly appeared.
Atop the wilderness, innumerable Ruins were scattered.
The True Immortal had nothing left but a layer of skin, hanging over the skeleton as if it were a skull.
Dozens of blood-red chains, deeply embedded in the ground, bound the True Immortal in the wilderness.
When it sensed Li Fan, or rather the Medicine King Cauldron that Li Fan was wielding, this True Immortal Who Comprehends the Dao suddenly opened his eyes!
“So that’s how it is. What caused the True Immortal to open his eyes was not simply an external object that intruded into the Immortal Ruins.”
“But rather it is the mysterious chess piece material that was used to forge the Medicine King Cauldron…”
Li Fan’s thoughts returned to the present.
Like the Elders present, he stared intently at the gray chess piece.
Once it recovered its original appearance, its connection with its “companion” in the Star Sea seemed even tighter.
There was no need to use the [Manifestation] character, as everyone present could faintly sense the direction of the connection.
It was intermittent, though, and not strong enough to serve as a guide for exploration.
“It seems that having the chess piece alone is not enough. A special method is also needed to complement it,” Zhong Daogong discerned the mystery within.
“Interesting. Now I’m truly curious, what exactly is Sun Piaomiao trying to hide in his initial record?”
“Although the origins of this gray chess piece are mysterious, to say that it is related to the power of Immortals might be overstated. After all, the Immortal Boat has collected many Immortal Instruments, so we do have the judgment capability in this area.”
…
“On the contrary, I feel that this gray chess piece may indeed come from the Immortal World,” Elder of the Immortal Boat speculated, then Li Fan suddenly spoke up, offering a completely different opinion.
“Oh? How so, Brother Li?”
Li Fan, with his now considerable prestige on the Immortal Boat, gave his conclusion, which others did not dare to take lightly, and they hurriedly asked for his reason.
Li Fan said gravely, “It’s quite simple, looking at this item’s reaction to the [Manifestation] character should give it away, don’t you think?”
Upon hearing this, the Elders were first stunned. Then many of them suddenly slapped their thighs, their faces lighting up in realization.
“Exactly! Although the Manifestation character can stimulate the link between objects, the reaction of the Medicine King Cauldron… ah, that is, the gray chess piece to the True Immortal Remnant Force is indeed overly sensitive.”
“That’s exactly right!”
To validate Li Fan’s conjecture, Lu Yuzhi took out a Seven-Colored Stubborn Stone.
“This stubborn stone is fashioned from a piece of Jade Crystal Marrow. There are eighteen pieces in total, and the other seventeen are in my other courtyard,” he said.
As he spoke, Lu Yuzhi cast the Manifestation character.
The power of True Immortal Seal Characters enveloped the Seven-Colored Stubborn Stone.
As though Immortal Power was slowly permeating, it was only after a long time that mists and fine lines indicating directions emerged from within the stubborn stone.
The difference in reaction compared to the earlier Medicine King Cauldron was immediately obvious.
“Previously, we all thought it was due to the mysterious power contained within the cauldron. Now it seems that it is actually the material of the cauldron itself that caused it!” The Elders exclaimed.
—————–
An error was quickly corrected.
That should make it obvious, right?”
