My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1227 - 1180 Dark Gold Tri-eye Skull
Three cultivators were taken aback after hearing the elder’s request.
"Elder Gou, this is against the rules..."
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the elder coldly glanced at them.
The three had no choice but to swallow their words.
Seeing that the situation was beyond their control, the older cultivator gave a bow and then tied up the relic, leaving the valley.
On the road.
"Brother Zhao, the laws of the Immortal Boat clearly stipulate that after collecting World Destruction Relics, they must be turned in to the Immortal Axis Institute. Violators of this law are to be charged with conspiracy."
"Exactly, who on the Immortal Boat doesn’t know that Broken Immortal Tower and Immortal Axis Institute are at odds? That old guy wants to please Broken Immortal Tower by using us without lifting a finger. If anything goes wrong, we definitely won’t be able to escape."
The older cultivator known to the others as Brother Zhao also had a grim look, but he did not join in the complaints, instead signaling the others to keep quiet with a look.
After that, he secretly transmitted something to them, and they calmed down.
The three of them did not fly, but instead walked out of the valley step by step along the path.
The scenery suddenly changed before their eyes, as if they were back in the Starry Void.
However, this void was not as cold and silent as the Abyss Star Ocean in the outer world.
Like a gentle breeze blowing, the wind from the void brought vigorous vitality.
In a daze, one could see faint seven-colored star points twinkling from time to time.
In contrast to this harmonious and cozy scene was a most bizarre sight: a giant towering into the heavens stood in the middle of the void.
Its eyes were tightly shut, its body limp as if it had been dead for a long time.
Yet its chest rose and fell continuously, and its breath brought warm winds blowing in all directions.
Had it been merely a dying giant, it wouldn’t have been too bad. However, what was horrifying was a thick branch growing out of the giant’s mouth.
Growing upwards resolutely, forming a dense canopy.
On closer inspection, the giant’s entire body was pierced through by branches, chilling to the core. The lower half of the giant had even transformed into a dense, entangled mess of threadlike roots.
Occasionally swaying with the wind, as if alive.
This bizarre sight made one wonder whether the tree was parasitizing the person, or the person had transformed into a tree.
The three of them were already accustomed to this scene, merely sighing, "Watching this Pursuit of Dao giant about to give up. It’s also unknown what else the Immortal Axis Institute can come up with afterward."
"That Broken Immortal Tower talks better than it performs, claiming to completely solve the Immortal Boat’s energy problems. They’ve been saying it for so long, yet remain unable to produce any effective results."
"Let’s see. It’s said that there has truly been a revolutionary breakthrough this time, otherwise Elder Gou wouldn’t have suddenly tried to curry favor like this."
...
The group chatted casually here and there as they walked.
As they left the valley and flew into the void, a streak of green suddenly appeared under their feet, forming a skyway to another place.
There was no need to escape; the green path itself was moving quickly.
Only upon reaching the midst of the void did the general scene of this Immortal Boat come into view.
Resembling the stars in the sky, several floating continents were scattered everywhere.
The giant in the void, parasitized by bizarre trees.
From the giant tree, countless green threadlike paths extended, appearing and disappearing, connecting the various continents.
Li Fan’s Split, hidden within the World Destruction Relic, secretly observed all this.
The form of Cultivation Civilization here was vastly different from that of the Xuanhuang World, and it intrigued him.
"Immortal Boat..."
"Medicine King Sect Ancestor Sun Piaomiao had once wandered beyond the heavens and recorded the navigational information for eighteen dimensions of the Immortal Cultivation World. Among them was a massive flying ship that drifted uncertainly in the Void, trafficking between various worlds. Within it, a world unto itself, named Mysterious Merchant."
"I wonder if it’s related to this Immortal Boat."
Li Fan then looked toward the giant, whose essence was continuously being drawn out and dispersed into the surrounding vitality: "The Pursuit of Dao clan?"
The green, invisible path in the Void shifted rapidly, and it did not take long for Daoist Monk Zhao and his group to arrive at the so-called Broken Immortal Tower.
It emanated a dark golden spherical glow.
Upon closer inspection, it was again built upon the remains of a giant.
However, this time it was not a complete corpse but rather a single enormous skull.
What shook Li Fan’s spirit was that in the center of this skull, there still existed an eyeball!
The eyeball had not lost its vitality following the skull’s demise.
It was merely closed tight, continuing to rotate slightly.
A sense of crisis arose unbidden in his heart, prompting Li Fan’s split to decisively escape from the possessed World Destruction Relic.
He stayed in the Void and did not follow the three people into the Broken Immortal Tower.
His judgment was correct.
The giant eyeball suddenly opened and scanned the area. After detecting nothing unusual, it closed again.
Only then could Daoist Monk Zhao and his two companions enter the Broken Immortal Tower.
Li Fan’s split did not keep watching the Three-eyed Skull but waited patiently outside the Broken Immortal Tower, in the Void, for their return.
"Dark golden skull, three eyes."
"It’s very similar to the one where I initially found the Secret Technique of [Vanish]. But the one in this Immortal Boat…"
"Seems a bit weaker?"
Being larger does not necessarily mean being stronger.
The dark golden three-eyed skull Li Fan had encountered before, even though the third eyeball was gone and had purely become a breeding ground for the Grey Mold Spot of the Secret Technique of [Vanish], still gave Li Fan an extremely dangerous feeling. It seemed capable of resurrecting at any moment. Therefore, Li Fan had always kept it sealed with the Seven-Colored Divine Light, avoiding any potentially deadly research on it.
Although the current three-eyed skull was even larger and its eyeball still alive,
Li Fan felt that it was indeed completely dead and no longer had any chance of resurrection.
This was a profoundly mysterious intuition.
"I’ve seen few things from beyond the Xuanhuang World in Reincarnation, but almost all of them were here."
"It seems this Immortal Boat indeed has some tricks up its sleeve."
"Without complete world resources, it necessarily has to draw on survival needs from the dark regions of the Sea of Obscured Stars, making the most of what is available. It appears the foundation of this Immortal Boat might far exceed my expectations..."
Li Fan’s thoughts fluctuated, and he continuously strategized internally about where to make a breakthrough.
From the recent conversation of those three cultivators, it was learned that the Immortal Boat seemed to have recently been caught in a power struggle between the Immortal Axis Institute and the Broken Immortal Tower.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
This situation was exactly what Li Fan, the outsider, loved to see.
"Only in muddy waters can one catch fish. I must find a way to create a bit of chaos in this Immortal Boat."
Not long after, the three Daoist Monks Zhao emerged from the Broken Immortal Tower.
Contrary to their previous indignant demeanor, this time they all displayed joy, unable to suppress the excitement in their eyes.
Standing on the green, invisible path, they only began their enthusiastic discussion when they reached the center of the Void.
"Who would have thought the Broken Immortal Tower really found a way to utilize the World-Destroying Power!"
"There are endless relics in the Void, now we really don’t have to worry about running out of energy anymore!"
"Now we can watch a good show!"
