My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1229 - 1182: Infiltrating the Immortal Boat Alone

"It’s the [Hunger] character..."

Subtle fluctuations transmitted from the Integration Cultivator aboard the nearby Immortal Boat, Li Fan’s Split made the judgment swiftly.

He didn’t approach closely, opting instead to observe from within the wooden house.

"Elder Yan..." Elder Gou, who usually had a stern face, was now nodding and bowing, displaying utter sycophancy.

The valley’s populace murmured their disapproval silently, not daring to show it, even bowing their heads to avoid the direct gaze of the Integration Cultivator before them.

After all, to mortals, Integration Cultivators were almost indistinguishable from the legendary immortals.

"Gou Liang, I heard that there were five deaths in quick succession in Sin Quelling Valley recently?" Elder Yan asked in a deep voice.

Gou Liang’s body shuddered as he answered promptly, "That did happen. But it was just those criminals having bad luck, falling ill and passing away after just two or three outings. There hasn’t been any chaos in Sin Quelling Valley itself..."

"Hmph! Luck has nothing to do with it..." A cold light flashed in Elder Yan’s eyes, but he offered no further explanation.

His immense Divine Sense suddenly enveloped the entire Sin Quelling Valley.

"Just as I suspected, this place has been contaminated."

Elder Yan’s expression darkened in an instant, a point of starlight emerged on his fingertip, and then he pointed towards the residential area of Sin Quelling Valley, where Li Fan’s Split was located, from afar.

Endless light and heat destroyed everything within the area.

...

Outside the Immortal Boat.

Laying in concealment, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan, who was in closed-off comprehension, lifted his head slightly.

"It’s no wonder a civilization capable of surviving in the Abyss Star Ocean for so long is so cautious."

"It seems that if I want to infiltrate them, I need to solve the problem of being a major source of contagion. Otherwise, no matter how well I hide, if I cause a large number of people around me to die, my presence will be revealed as well."

"My Divine Soul has been in the Sea of Obscured Stars for far too long. It’s difficult to reverse the damage, so I need to sever a portion of my soul to infiltrate stealthily. With my previous experience, I can do it like this..."

In the following two months, no one from the Immortal Boat went out to collect World Destruction Relics.

But obviously, they are not likely to give up on the nearly endless relics outside.

So, Li Fan finally waited for a new collection squad to arrive.

Following his previous experience, Li Fan’s Split mingled with the relics and followed them into the Immortal Boat.

This time, however, the Immortal Boat’s handling of relics was noticeably more cautious. While staying with the relics, the Immortal Boat Monks always wore armor. They moved the relics into a sealed space and, after they left, a blurry Talisman Records phantom appeared above the space.

"This is..."

The Talisman emitted a faint radiance, illuminating more than a dozen relics below.

Although Li Fan’s Split was also bathed in the light, he didn’t feel any effects.

He simply watched the power of True Immortal Seal Characters attached to the relics around him fade away as they were absorbed by the Talisman shadow above through the dreamlike glow.

Even Li Fan’s Split could sense the various mysterious forces lingering around him being sucked away by the Talisman.

It didn’t take long for the power imbued in the dozen relics here to vanish completely. They became worthless trash in the Star Sea.

The Talisman’s light flickered and then left this space.

"The Immortal Boat’s utilization of True Immortal Seal Characters’ power is a bit higher than I had imagined."

This space was completely sealed, trapping Li Fan’s Split, but he was not in a hurry.

Someone would certainly come to deal with the remaining "trash."

Just as Li Fan expected, two days later, two Energy Refining Cultivators, led by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, walked in.

"Move all these items onto the boat."

"Everyone be careful, although the Power of World Extinction in these items is no longer present, they are still genuine antiques. The fact that they have remained intact in the Star Sea for so long indicates that their material quality is quite exceptional. Send everything to the Forge Star Workshop, maybe we can repurpose these wastes." The Foundation Establishment Cultivator instructed.

The two Energy Refining Cultivators were only about fifteen or sixteen years old. They looked like they were inexperienced in the ways of the world.

Li Fan’s Split pondered for a moment, then attached itself to one of them.

Following the trio, they left the sealed space, boarded a small Flying Boat, and arrived at the so-called Forge Star Workshop.

It was an enclosed ring-shaped structure made from an unknown white metal.

In the center of the ring was a blazing fireball.

The terrifying heatwaves continuously churning on the surface of the fireball spoke of the immense energy contained within.

One could vaguely see strands of flame being sucked into a small hole in the ring structure from time to time.

The entity in charge of reception at the Forge Star Workshop was not someone of ordinary human appearance.

Instead, it was a strange creature, half-human, half-beast, with a totally red body, two horns on its head, and a long tail trailing behind it.

The three seemed very fearful of it, hastily placing down the items and then eagerly leaving on the Flying Boat.

After some turmoil, they finally returned to their residences.

Located at the Path Validation Academy.

It was also a large continent floating in the Void.

The Academy soared high, piercing into the clouds.

They headed to the lower levels of the Academy to report back to their Master.

Their Master was a Nascent Soul Monk named Zhao Wuji, who had already become white-haired and aged.

Seeing the trio return, he put away the book Magic Tool he had been reading and asked warmly, "Is everything taken care of?"

The trio bowed and responded, "Master, everything has been handled properly."

"Do you know why I had you make this special trip?" Zhao Wuji asked.

The three of them were stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"Not long ago, Sin Quelling Valley was razed to the ground. The survivors of the valley were also taken away and isolated for observation. It is said that the cause of the incident was the irregular collection of relics outside the valley, which led to the spread of the Power of World Extinction."

"Heh heh..."

"This procedure was set by the Immortal Axis Institute, and it has been so for a thousand years. Even if there were small errors occasionally, it never caused much trouble. But this time it has caused such a commotion." Zhao Wuji suddenly stopped speaking.

At this moment, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator suddenly realized, "Master is suggesting that Broken Immortal Tower is seizing the opportunity to make a move?"

"Correct," Zhao Wuji said, showing a pleased expression. "It’s not just Sin Quelling Valley. Next, wherever the Immortal Axis Institute has influence within the Immortal Boat, it will face the onslaught of Broken Immortal Tower."

"The Immortal Axis Institute has held power for too long, and those who covet the leadership of the Immortal Boat have already waited too long."

Zhao Wuji sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji’s three disciples each displayed different expressions.

The Foundation Establishment disciple’s eyes swiveled, as if calculating something.

One of the Energy Refining disciples bowed his head, earnestly contemplating his Master’s words.

The other Energy Refining disciple, the one possessed by a fragment of Li Fan’s spirit, seemed completely uninterested.

His mind wandered Beyond the Heavens, as if he was lost in a daydream.
