Chapter 1456: Chapter 1295
âThe Watchers bear the Immortal Worldâs mission and may even directly be True Immortal Creations. Ordinary mortal forces cannot stand against them.â
âEven though the path to immortality has long been severed, as long as they still exist, they will resolutely execute their mission. This is precisely where our hope lies for escaping this predicamentâŠâ Zhong Gongdao quickly inscribed in the air.
âThe Xuanhuang World Watcher seems not to actively attack us. As long as we do not make noise and attract Its attention, we should temporarily ensure our safety. However, staying in this pot forever is not a long-term plan. I can feel that the longer we stay here, the faster our vitality is draining away.â
âThe Watcher only cares about its mission. We need to quickly figure out what exactly its mission is. Then we can think of ways to escapeâŠâ
Everyone looked up, their gaze passing through the Mystic Immortal Boat and landing on the terrifying figure at the edge of the giant pot stirring the water.
âDo not observe, to avoid causing any incidents.â Elder Gan Jingda waved his hand, temporarily blocking everyoneâs vision.
...
Nangong Lie of the Path Validation Academy then asked with a serious expression, âIs there any hope of escape by creating chaos with the power of True Immortal Seal Characters? Although the Watcher is strong, it surely cannot withstand the Power of the True Immortal, can it?â
Zhong Gongdao slightly shook his head, explaining, âIndeed, It should not be able to completely resist the influence of the True Immortal Seal Characters. The [Xun] Character I displayed earlier has already proven this point. But after all, with Its myriad connections with the Immortal World, compared to us mortal cultivators, the Watcher also possesses a certain resistance to the Power of the True Immortal.â
âAs for the Watcher before us, after being affected by the [Xun] Character, It only forgot Its previous actions, yet did not leave this potâŠâ The implication of Zhong Gongdaoâs words is self-evident.
Ai Tianjue also nodded in agreement: âCorrect, using True Immortal Seal Characters to create chaos is too risky. Just one glance earlier killed a tenth of our Immortal Boatâs population. If It can resist even for a moment⊠even if we could escape, not many on the Immortal Boat would survive.â
Zhong Gongdao continued, âEveryone, we also need to consider what to do after we escape from here. If we use up all the stored True Immortal Seal Characters, then how will we fight the Celestial Dharma Bearer of the Xuanhuang World?â
âYes, we have to vent this foul gas. Even if we canât get some Immortal Spirit Energy, we must definitely get some resources in the Xuanhuang World!â said the head of the Forge Star Workshop, his face fierce.
âŠ
After discussions among the Elders of the Immortal Ark, they finally reached a consensus. First, they dispatched personnel to Escape outside the pot to scout the surrounding area. They aimed to clarify the possible mission of the fearsome Watcher before them, and at the same time, to be ready to make a desperate bid for survival in case the Watcher discovers the Immortal Boat.
Soon, twenty cultivators left the Immortal Boat and flew towards the area outside the pot.
Some of them, before even flying out of the range of the giant pot, were drawn into the invisible vortex within the water and completely disappeared without a trace.
While those who had the strength to fly out were, for the most part, discovered by the invisible Watcher, directly drained of their vitality and compressed into small spheres.
Only one who was lucky enough to escape the Watcherâs range never returned.
The Mystic Immortal Boat then sent out another hundred cultivators.
This time, although three cultivators completed the reconnaissance, on the way back, when they tried to re-enter the pot, all were discovered by the Watcher without exception.
They were compressed into spheres and died instantly.
âThis sending people to die for nothing is not the answer!â
âOr we might as well just fight It directly!â
âToo weak, and we canât even fly out of this pot. Too strong, and we will surely be discovered by that WatcherâŠâ
âEspecially the senior Elders, going is certain death!â
âŠ
Inside the Immortal Boat, the atmosphere once again sank into despair.
At this moment, Zhao Xian, also known as the body taken over by Saint Embryo Li Fan, stood up.
Li Fan looked at Ai Tianjue and resolutely wrote: âTeacher, I would like to try.â
The Elders of Broken Immortal Tower all showed a moved expression.
Their impression of this exceptionally talented young junior was very positive.
Ai Tianjue extended his hand, declining Li Fanâs request.
Broken Immortal Tower was now the highest authority of the Immortal Boat, and Li Fan was a direct descendant of Broken Immortal Tower. Naturally, he was given some preferential treatment.
Despite objections, Zhong Gongdao dispatched another three hundred-member exploration team.
Yet the result was still the annihilation of the entire team.
Witnessing one living being after another crushed into spheres by the ruthless Watcher, a cold dread had already accumulated to a certain threshold in the hearts of everyone on the Immortal Boat.
When Zhong Gongdao was about to give another order, looking at the trembling bodies and despairing eyes of the cultivators before him, he hesitated.
It was not because his heart had softened, but because doubts were now forming in his heart about whether such probing was of any use.
At that moment, Li Fan stood up again.
âElder Zhong, I am willing to give it a try.â Fear flickered in Li Fanâs eyes at first, but it was quickly replaced by unwavering determination.
The Elders of Broken Immortal Tower, looking at the gazes of cultivators from other organizations on the Immortal Boat, heaved a sigh in their hearts.
Eventually, they agreed to Li Fanâs request.
After bidding a simple farewell to his teachers, Li Fan flew out from the Mystic Immortal Boat under the watchful eyes of all.
âBrother Tianjue, youâve taken on a fine disciple.â
Elder Zhong, who seldom took the initiative to communicate with others, this time spoke to Ai Tianjue.
Ai Tianjue nodded slightly, his expression complicated.
Watching Li Fan successfully leave the giant pot, he breathed a sigh of relief.
