Chapter 1186: Soul Destruction in the Invisible
"Yes, Tianshu Academy has always disagreed with the research on the world-destroying power and has been fiercely suppressing it over the past few years. I don't know how many cultivators have become nutrients for the [Divine Tree] because of this. If they hadn't been unable to hold on in recent years, I don't think they would have compromised."
"Thinking about it this way, it only took Duanxian Tower more than 500 years to achieve such great progress. Tianshuyuan has been in power for nearly 10,000 years, but has been doing nothing. As a result, the Immortal Boat is getting worse and worse. Tianshuyuan really deserves to die."
"The world of Xianzhou is about to change. We brothers should make plans early. Maybe we can take this opportunity to get rid of this crime..."
The three of them looked at each other and saw each other's ambitions.
However, the whisper ends in the empty space where no one is.
When they returned to the original valley, they became silent and looked indignant again.
After reporting to Elder Gou, he moved to the wooden house in the valley and lived there.
There are a total of one hundred monks living here.
Every once in a while, some of them would go out on the immortal boat to collect relics of the world annihilation.
The people of Xianzhou seem to be extremely afraid of the dark starry sea outside, and they always look uneasy before carrying out each mission.
The casualty rate in collecting relics is indeed very high.
It's not that they suffer any actual harm in the starry sea outside the Immortal Boat, but every time they go out, the lifespan of the Immortal Boat people seems to be greatly reduced.
This cultivator named Zhao, Zhao Tianjiang, had noticeably deeper wrinkles on his face after going out twice.
"No wonder I don't see any young monks here, they are all middle-aged and elderly people." Li Fan suddenly realized.
There are about a hundred people in the valley, and they don't practice on weekdays.
Apart from the task of going out to collect relics, there is no need to do anything else.
From their daily chats, Li Fan also collected a lot of information about the fairy boat.
They called this valley the "Valley of Sin", a place of exile for monks who violated the laws of the Immortal Boat but whose crimes were not punishable by death.
Collecting world-destroying relics is to eliminate the sins on one's body.
Once you have made amends, you can leave this place and return to your normal life.
In their hopeful words, Li Fan got a glimpse into the daily life of the people in Xianzhou.
All matters, big or small, concerning Xianzhou are under the jurisdiction of the [Xianshuyuan].
Ordinary people in Xianzhou don’t have to worry about survival, as Xianshuyuan will provide a certain amount of survival supplies every year.
But it is just enough to survive.
In the Immortal Boat, there are strict controls on the total population and the number of monks.
Not only does one need approval to have children, but even spiritual practice has only fixed quotas.
In addition to obtaining the qualification to practice by drawing lots, you can also obtain it by making outstanding contributions to the fairy boat.
For example, going out to salvage world relics.
In this Sin Valley, the vast majority of people have no cultivation.
That's why they have a huge fear of going out.
Although they are mortals, they can move freely and remain immortal in the darkest starry sea because of the secret armor made by the Xianshu Academy that they wear when they carry out their missions.
In addition to ensuring one's own safety, it can also identify which relics are qualified and can be exchanged for merits.
As for what exactly the Immortal Pivot Institute wants these world-destroying relics for...
Naturally, these lower-class people on Xianzhou would not know the truth.
…
"It seems that this Immortal Boat is even more divided than the Xuanhuang Realm."
"The information we can get from staying here is limited. We need to find a way to leave this place."
The power of his current split spirit was too weak to withstand even the slightest consumption.
It is almost impossible to cross the void in the immortal boat by yourself.
The green invisible road in the void will only appear with permission. Anyone who attempts to approach the void will be smashed to pieces and turned into nourishment for the immortal boat.
So Li Fan was lurking, waiting for an opportunity.
However, what he didn't expect was that instead of waiting for the opportunity, he was waiting for a disaster.
The cause was that Zhao Tianjiang and the other two who were lurking nearby suddenly fell ill.
At first, Zhao Tianjiang thought he was just a little tired, so he lay in bed for several days.
Later, I couldn't sleep at all, and my whole body started to itch and I became restless.
Zhao Tianjiang seemed to remember something, and endless fear emerged in his eyes.
But he didn't tell anyone else about it.
He even suppressed his discomfort, showed up in front of everyone a few times, and took the initiative to apply to go out and collect relics.
Until he started coughing incessantly and black spots began to appear on his skin, Zhao Tianjiang hid in the house and refused to come out.
He was holding a magic weapon that looked like a jade tablet, and no one knew what he was doing.
Afterwards, blood began to flow out of all his orifices and the smell of blood began to spread. The truth could no longer be concealed.
"Alas. Time is running out. It is better to send him back home as soon as possible so that he can be reunited with his family."
"It's really fate that makes Lao Zhao the most physically fit among us, but he still couldn't avoid being infected by the strange void disease."
"He even concealed his physical condition for a time, just to accumulate more merits for Xiao Zhao before he died..."
Everyone sighed and looked grieved.
Elder Gou, however, showed no emotion at all. He just did his job impartially and sent Zhao Tianjiang away.
Soon, Xianzhou sent someone to Zhenzuinu to take Zhao Tianjiang's place.
After Zhao Tianjiang's death, the other two monks who were with him also suffered from outbreaks of symptoms and unfortunately died tragically shortly afterwards.
In the Valley of Sin, everyone lamented that they had bad luck.
However, only Li Fan knew that they might have died one after another from the so-called strange void disease because Li Fan had been distracted and lurking around for a long time.
"The body of this immortal boat man..."
"So fragile. It can't even withstand the tiny bit of void energy that my clone carries. If my real body comes in, won't it be a devastating source of infection?"
Li Fan was speechless.
He took the lives of three people, but it was not intentional.
In fact, he crossed most of the darkest star sea and stayed in the void for too long.
I'm afraid that the soul has already been contaminated by some mysterious power in the void.
Although his spirit is strong, he is not afraid of being infected by these mysterious forces.
But it’s hard to say about this fragile immortal boat man.
In the Valley of Sin, it seemed as if ten years had passed in the same day.
The entire immortal boat was like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.
The opportunity that Li Fan was waiting for distractedly never came.
Until this day...
Elder Gou, who was usually serious, suddenly changed his expression.
All the people in Sin Valley were called out.
They all walked out of the valley, as if waiting for some important person to come.
Everyone in the valley was very nervous, and Li Fan, who was distracted, could sense from afar a powerful aura approaching rapidly.
"Hedao period?"
"More than that. But it's not as oppressive as the Immortal Realm."
"Hmm? There's also a trace of the power of the True Immortal seal characters mixed in?"
