Chapter 1328 Dark Gathering Peaks
"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. It is impossible for us to reach that height by ourselves. That's why we need to rely on [external forces]. It was like this in the Shangxianzhou back then, and it is also the case with our Xuanxianzhou now!" Zhong Daogong smiled slightly, and did not explain in detail, but said it ambiguously.
"External forces? True immortal seal characters? Is this why you want to join forces with our Daqi?" Li Fan asked directly.
"Yes... and no." Zhong Daogong looked puzzled.
"Okay, since fellow Taoist has seen the weak points of the high wall, it also proves the sincerity of our Xianzhou. Why don't we return to a safe place first and discuss it separately? This is not a place to stay for a long time..."
Before Zhong Daogong finished speaking, the high point of the Remnant Realm Great Wall where they were located suddenly shook slightly.
Everyone couldn't help but look "down".
In the darkest star sea under the peaks, for some reason, ripples were set off.
Like waves in the sea of clouds, it continued in the star sea.
"It's the reverberating star power!" The elders of the Xianzhou all changed their expressions slightly.
"The scale of this outbreak is not small, and I'm afraid it won't subside in a short time. We'd better leave early." Zhong Daogong said in a deep voice.
Li Fan looked into the distance. Although he couldn't see the specific things in the sea of stars due to the distortion of his perspective. But Li Fan could also vaguely sense the source of the reverberating star power of this outbreak.
Like the Great Wall of the Remnant Realm of the Breakwater, a gap was formed because of the disappearance of one of the remnant realms. Part of the residual power of the True Immortal accumulated under the high wall found an outlet. Following this loophole, it flowed down.
This kind of thing had happened in the previous life.
It was because his Saint Embryo incarnation destroyed many fragments of the remnant realms that the Heavenly Doctor had implanted in the abyss of the Xuanhuang Realm, causing it to have to replenish the realm again.
But in this life, the fuse did not happen at all. Why did the Great Wall of the Remnant Realm become turbulent?
"Could it be that Master Yin and the others made a fuss?"
"It wouldn't be so reckless..." A trace of doubt flashed through Li Fan's mind.
While thinking, the elders of the Immortal Boat had already taken Li Fan down from the "high place" of the star sea.
The vision changed rapidly, and the vast dark sea disappeared. The Great Wall of the Remaining World still stood tall, and the previous "ascending vision" seemed like an illusion.
Obviously, ascending was not an easy task for the elders of the Immortal Boat. After a moment, the elders all became breathless and sweat beads on their foreheads.
Zhong Daogong looked solemnly, looking at the distant and turbulent source of the Remaining World Great Wall. But in the end, he did not choose to find out, but organized and urged everyone to leave.
On the way back to the Immortal Boat, Li Fanning still led the way with the phantom of the golden sword. This time, the Immortal Boat people really experienced how fast the speed of this sword shadow was.
When everyone arrived at the location of the Xuanxian Boat, the reverberating star power had not even affected them.
The expressions of the elders looking at Li Fan were even more different.
"Daoyou, let's go into the Immortal Boat first and discuss the follow-up cooperation plan." Jian Daosheng pointed at the open door of the Immortal Boat and said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Li Fan shook his head decisively and refused: "No. I'm afraid I have to go back to Daqi."
The faces of the elders suddenly became a little subtle.
Li Fan was not afraid, and said proudly: "What? I think you seem to have objections?"
"Isn't this different from what we agreed before? Daoyou knows our top secret plan of the Immortal Boat and wants to leave..."
Zhong Daogong looked unfriendly, and the other elders also stared at Li Fan, locking him with their breath.
"Humph, I don't think you need to waste your thoughts. You have all seen [Sword of Immortal Slashing], if I use it, who can stop you?" Li Fan said slowly.
The elders heard the words, but they just waited in silence. Indeed, it is faster than the spread of the residual power of the Xinghai True Immortal. It can even bring many people together...
This escape technique is indeed beyond their cognition.
However, it was absolutely impossible to let Li Fan leave so easily.
The atmosphere in the field gradually became tense, and it was Li Fan who took the initiative to break the deadlock: "Why do you have to do this? I will go back if I don't go. I know your worries, just because you are afraid that I will reveal the weak position of the high wall. There is no need!"
"This time I go back, I am going to persuade Da Qi again to see if he can change his mind. Witnessing with my own eyes that there is indeed such a weak point in the high wall, the persuasiveness will be much stronger. If Master and others are still unwilling to take risks, I will certainly not reveal this secret. If I can convince them by chance..."
"Anyway, we will cooperate in the end, so it doesn't matter whether it is leaked or not."
"My time is coming. Now before I die, Youxin has seen the only chance to cross the high wall with his own eyes, how can I give up?" Li Fan said earnestly.
Then, he bowed his hands. In the heavy encirclement of the Xianzhou elders, he directly controlled the sword shadow and broke through the air.
The speed was so fast that even Zhong Daogong didn't have time to react.
The figure had disappeared.
"This kid is really difficult to deal with." Jian Daosheng stroked his beard and frowned.
"There's nothing we can do. He has the seal characters of the real immortals, the formation is extraordinary, and the escape technique is even more elusive. But his time is coming to an end, and he is not afraid of death at all... It's best not to easily make an enemy of such a person."
"Fortunately, he won't live for many years. Otherwise, our immortal boat may not be at peace in the future."
"I think what he said is right. If Da Qi is unwilling to participate in the plan because the world-protecting fairy artifact predicts a disaster, then our fairy boat is the only one he can rely on. After all, it is obviously unrealistic for him to jump over the high wall alone..."
Just as the elders of the fairy boat were discussing, Li Fan had returned to the border of the remnant world wall.
The reverberating star power was like a rising storm, becoming more and more violent.
The shadow of the wooden sword that Li Fan had left here before was like a candle in the wind, in danger.
It shot out a golden light, making it more stable. Li Fan searched around for traces of Qiao Gong and others, but there was no trace of them.
The secret marks that would be left along the way when they had agreed to find suitable world fragments separately were all blown away by the reverberating star power.
"Are they all out of contact?" Li Fan was a little surprised.
"Fortunately, the damage to the [End of the World] formation was not serious."
Li Fan floated to the formation, strengthened the formation again, and gave up the idea of looking for them.
"We can only hope that they will be blessed."
"With the luck of these people, they would not have perished if it was just the reverberating star power that exploded."
"When the storm gradually subsides, if they are safe and sound, they should return by themselves."
Passing through the formation and returning to the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan found that as expected, some residual power of the True Immortals escaped along the formation. After laying down the source power essence net on the formation side for double blockade, the vibration caused by the reverberating star power finally disappeared.
"Among the few people, if we say who is most likely to cause this abnormal movement in the star sea, it should be Master Yin."
Li Fan recalled the strange expression on Master Yin's face when he first arrived at the Great Wall of the Remnant Realm.
"He should have seen the memory of the world ghost that he had absorbed."
"But Master Yin is definitely not a reckless person. If that was the case, he would not have recklessly moved the fragments of the Remnant World without considering the consequences..."
"The secret will be revealed when Master Yin comes back." Li Fan had a hunch that Master Yin was still alive in a corner of the Remnant World Great Wall.
He even encountered a great fortune.
"Perhaps it is related to the formation of the Remnant World Great Wall?" Li Fan suddenly thought in his heart.
In the darkest star sea, not only is it unknown where the high wall came from. Even the formation of the Remnant World Great Wall under the high wall has always been an unsolved mystery.
The countless destroyed immortal cultivation worlds in the star sea back then did not gather at the location of the Immortal Ruins.
Instead, they piled up and connected together at the foot of the high wall.
In Li Fan's opinion, the power that maintains the Remnant World Great Wall is no less than the great power of the True Immortal. But it is not within Li Fan's cognition.
You know, Li Fan's experience now is far beyond what ordinary cultivators can achieve.
In each of his reincarnations, he could explore recklessly and without regard for the consequences. There are few things in the Xuanhuang Realm and the Dark Star Sea that he has no blind spots.
The great power of maintaining the Great Wall of the Remnant Realm is one of them.
The deepest part of the Dark Sea is also one of them.
After returning to Daxuan, Li Fan took over the body of a strong You clan member with a wisp of divine thought.
Then he summoned the You clan members, launched the ceremony of entering the Dark Sea, and walked slowly into it.
The Dark Sea is endless and dark.
For ordinary cultivators, it is naturally a dangerous place of death. But Li Fan has walked through it countless times, and he is familiar with it, and there is no danger along the way.
He didn't care about the corpse of the ancient immortal in the Xuanhuang Realm lying on the ground, but just walked forward without distraction.
He came to the core of the Gathering Spirit Ascension Array. Like a transparent observation tower, it can overlook the outline of the corpse of the True Immortal in the entire Dark Sea.
Finally, he stopped his steps and had no intention of going deeper below to face the hidden True Immortal.
In front of him, the ancient storm clouds that had accumulated for who knows how many years stood quietly. Like all kinds of terrifying strange beasts.
Looking down at this group of accumulated power from top to bottom, Li Fan felt a little familiar.
"Sure enough, my feeling is right!"
A gleam of light flashed in Li Fan's eyes, and the picture he realized when he looked down at the Dark Sea from the top of the mountain with the help of the high wall not long ago appeared in front of him at the same time.
It gradually overlapped with the scene of the storm condensing in the Dark Sea.
It is not a specific scene that has similarities.
But because of the gathering of energy, the Dark Sea here is also abruptly raised a lot.
"This should be the many peaks seen on that peak."
"The energy gathered here is 'higher' than the entire Xuanhuang Realm. Even better than the position reached under the high wall with the help of the Great Wall of the Remaining Realm!"
Li Fan's eyes flashed, and his thoughts turned rapidly: "Not only is the [Gathering Spirits and Immortals Formation] of the Dark Sea built on the remains of the True Immortal."
"Moreover, it has been nearly ten thousand years since the establishment of this formation!"
"The formation was established in the past for King Xuantian to lead the Xuanhuang Realm across the high wall. However, due to various accidents, King Xuantian disappeared inexplicably, and the plan collapsed halfway."
"But the accumulation of energy in the Dark Sea did not stop because of this. On the contrary, it has been going on for nearly ten thousand years."
"Over the past ten thousand years, the Star Sea has undergone various drastic changes. But in fact, the 'height' of the high wall that besieged the Star Sea has not actually changed. In other words..."
Li Fan once again swept across the Dark Sea below.
Those gathering storm clouds suddenly turned into mountains in his eyes.
Each one was floating above the darkest sea of stars.
Facing the high wall in the distance.
"The high points that the Xianzhou people regard as treasures and can only be reached with the help of external forces are everywhere in the Xuanhuang Realm."
"Standing here and crossing the high wall is much easier than other places."
"The only thing to worry about is that it may arouse the desire of the real immortals here to survive..."
"But as long as you are careful, there should be no problem."
Maintaining the bird's-eye view, Li Fan was a little tired. He took a long breath and returned to normal.
He began to think about the correct way to use the wealth left to him by King Xuantian.
"It is definitely not enough to just use the high point as a springboard. I need more data. It would be best if it is verified by actual results..."
"The Xianzhou is good as cannon fodder."
"The Gathering Spirit Ascension Array, as a part of the Floating Starry Sky Array, involves crossing the high wall. The same is true for the Eye of the Beast. From this point of view, the Eye of the Beast is probably not just a navigation lock..."
"What He sees may also be the 'high of the high wall', a perspective of the same dimension as what I saw before." Li Fan had a hidden understanding in his heart.
Controlling the body of the You Clan member, Li Fan stayed in the main control center of the Soul Gathering and Ascension Array for a full seven days.
Until the You Clan member's body could no longer withstand the dense dark power and was completely swallowed by the darkness. The induction disappeared, and then he stopped.
In the Daxuan small world, Li Fan slowly opened his eyes.
His divine thoughts swept across the world, familiar with the previous perspective of the upgraded dimension, and then returned to the normal perspective of reality, Li Fan actually felt a little uncomfortable.
"In ancient times, breaking through the height limit could make you immortal."
"Later, the immortal road was cut off, but there was a high wall..."
"But perhaps, the principles of these two are somewhat similar."
Looking at the countless living beings in Daxuan, Li Fan's heart was inexplicably filled with a feeling.
"However, the height of the high wall may be even higher than the height of becoming an immortal. After all, King Xuantian was able to ascend to the immortal road, but he could not cross the high wall."
"Change your mind. If you can jump over the high wall now, maybe you could ascend to become an immortal in the past."
Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn't help but be slightly absent-minded.
"Immortal..."
Ten thousand years have passed, and the times have changed. Obviously the same realm, one is ascending, and the other is locked under the high wall.
Even if you can jump over, you still need to face the unknown risks behind the high wall.
"The road is easier, and the immortal is not an immortal."
Li Fan could only sigh like this.
"If my guess is correct, the means of building the high wall are exactly the same as the so-called shackles of ascending to become an immortal, then it's interesting."
