Chapter 1525: Chapter 1323

As the Elders of the Immortal Ark were engaged in heated debate, Li Fan had already returned to the boundary of the Ruined World The Wall.

The Echoing Star Power was like a storm rising, becoming increasingly fierce.

The Wooden Sword Mirage that Li Fan had left there earlier was now as precarious as a flickering candle in the wind.

By casting Golden Light, he made it more stable. Li Fan searched for traces of Artisan and the others, but found no sign of them.

The secret seals they had agreed to leave along their separate paths to search for suitable World Fragments had all been blown away by the Echoing Star Power.

“Have they all lost contact?” Li Fan was somewhat surprised.

“Fortunately, the [World’s End Within Reach] Great Array hasn’t suffered severe damage.”

Li Fan floated over to the Array Technique, reinforced it once more, and then abandoned the idea of searching for them.

“All I can do now is hope they find their own good fortune.”

“With the qi destiny of these individuals, they shouldn’t fall just due to the outburst of Echoing Star Power.”

“Once the storm gradually subsides, if they are unscathed, they should naturally return.”

Passing through the Great Array, he returned to the Xuanhuang World. As expected, Li Fan discovered a slight True Immortal Remnant Force leaking through the Array Technique. After laying down a Essence of Origin Force Net on this side of the Great Array to doubly secure it, he finally managed to quell the tremors brought about by the Echoing Star Power.

“Among them, if anyone is likely to have caused this Starry Sky disturbance, it would be Yin Shangren,”

Li Fan recalled the somewhat peculiar expression on Yin Shangren’s face when he first arrived at the Ruined World The Wall.

“He must have seen something in the memories of the World Spirits he absorbed.”

“However, Yin Shangren is by no means reckless. If it were just that, he wouldn’t have acted on the fragments of the Residual Realm without regard for the consequences…”

“The secrets therein, once Yin Shangren returns, should be revealed.” Li Fan had a premonition in his heart that Yin Shangren was still alive somewhere in the corners of the Ruined World The Wall.

He might even have encountered an incredible stroke of luck.

“Perhaps, it has something to do with the formation of the Ruined World The Wall?” Li Fan suddenly thought so in his heart.

Within the Abyss Star Ocean, not only is the origin of the High Wall unknown, but the formation of the Ruined World The Wall beneath it too is shrouded in mystery.

The numerous Cultivation Worlds that were destroyed within the Star Sea did not converge to the place of the Immortal Ruins.

Instead, they amassed at the foot of the High Wall, merging continuously into one entity.

In Li Fan’s view, the force maintaining the Ruined World The Wall is as formidable as the True Immortal Remnant Force and yet beyond his understanding.

One should know, Li Fan’s experience by now is far beyond that of ordinary Cultivators.

Through several cycles of Reincarnation, each one daringly exploring without any regard for consequences. Within the Xuanhuang World, the Sea of Obscured Stars, there is scarcely anything left that is a blind spot for him.

This force maintaining the Ruined World The Wall is one of them.

The deepest part of the Ocean of Darkness is another.

Back in the Da Xuan, Li Fan, with a wisp of Divine Sense, took possession of the body of a robust You Clan Person.

Then, after gathering the You Clan People and initiating the ritual to enter the Ocean of Darkness, he stepped into it at a measured pace.

The Ocean of Darkness, an endless pitch black.

For ordinary Cultivators, it is naturally a perilous death ground. But Li Fan has crossed it countless times, as familiar with it as his own backyard, without any dangers along the way.

Ignoring the corpses of ancient Longevity beings from the Xuanhuang World lying on the ground, he moved forward single-mindedly.

He reached the central core of the Gathering Spirit for Immortality Formation. Like a crystal-clear lookout, he could overlook the entire contour of the True Immortal Copse within the Ocean of Darkness.

Finally, he stopped, no longer descending into the depths facing the hidden Desire to Survive of the True Immortal.

In front of him, ancient storm clouds that had built up over untold years stood quietly. Like all sorts of terrifying primordial ferocious beasts.

Overlooking this mass of accumulated power from above, Li Fan felt a faint sense of familiarity.

“Indeed, my feelings were not wrong!”

A glint flashed in Li Fan’s eyes, the scene he had realized not long ago when using the advantage of the High Wall to overlook the Ocean of Darkness from a peak, now unfolded before his eyes.

The scene converged with the spectacle of the storms gathering in the Ocean of Darkness.

It wasn’t that there were specific resemblances in the scenery.

It is because of the convergence of energy that the Ocean of Darkness here has also abruptly risen much higher.

“This must be the many mountain peaks we saw from that high peak.”

“The energy gathered here is even ‘higher’ compared to the entire Xuanhuang World. It’s even more superior than the position reached by leveraging the power of the Ruined World The Wall below the high wall!”

Li Fan’s gaze flickered, his thoughts racing: “It is not just that the [Gathering Spirit for Immortality Array] of the Ocean of Darkness was established on top of a True Immortal Corpse.”

“It’s also because it’s been nearly ten thousand years since the establishment of this great array!”

“The setting up of the array back then was King of Mystic Sky’s effort to bring the Xuanhuang World across the high wall. However, due to various accidents, King of Mystic Sky mysteriously disappeared, and the plan fell apart in the middle.”

“But the accumulation of energy in the Ocean of Darkness hasn’t stopped because of this. On the contrary, it has always been ongoing for tens of thousands of years.”

“Over ten thousand years, the Star Sea has undergone various cataclysmic changes. However, in reality, the ‘height’ of the high walls that besiege the Star Sea hasn’t actually changed. That is to say…”

Li Fan once again glanced over the dark sea below.

Those converging storm clouds, in his eyes, suddenly transformed into mountain peaks.

Each one, floating above the Abyss Star Ocean.

Confronting the high wall from afar.

“The members of the Immortal Ark consider the high point a treasure, even if it can only be reached by leveraging external forces, yet in the Xuanhuang World, such places are abundant.”

“Standing here and then crossing the high wall is far too easy compared to other places.”

“The only thing to worry about might be triggering the desire to survive of the True Immortal here…”

“However, as long as one is careful, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Maintaining a bird’s-eye view, Li Fan found it a bit strenuous. Taking a deep breath, he returned to his normal state.

He began to ponder the correct way to use the wealth left to him by the King of Mystic Sky.

“Just using a high point as a stepping stone is certainly not enough. I need more data. The best would be to verify with actual results…”

“Using the Immortal Ark as a cannon fodder is not too bad.”

“The Gathering Spirit for Immortality Array, as part of the Floating Star Crossing Formation that involves crossing the high wall, and the Eye of the Heavenly Beast, seem to be so as well. From this point of view, the function of the Eye of the Heavenly Beast is perhaps not only for navigational lock…”

“What it sees may also be the ‘height’ of The Wall, providing a dimensional perspective similar to what I have seen,” Li Fan realized secretly in his heart.

Controlling the body of a You Clan person, Li Fan stayed within the main control hub of the Gathering Spirit for Immortality Array for a full seven days.

Only when the You Clan person’s body could no longer withstand the rich Power of Darkness and was completely consumed by darkness, with the sensation disappearing, did he stop.

In the Da Xuan Minor World, Li Fan slowly opened his eyes.

His Divine Sense swept across Heaven and Earth, familiarizing with the previous dimensional perspective before returning to the normal reality perspective, and Li Fan actually felt slightly unwell.

“In ancient times, breaking through the height limit meant one could undergo Feather Transformation and ascend to immortality.”

“Later, the path to immortality was severed, and yet high walls existed…”

“But perhaps, the principles behind the two are somewhat similar.”

Looking at the multitude of beings in Da Xuan, a wave of enlightenment suddenly surged in Li Fan’s heart.

“It’s just that, the ‘height’ of the high wall may be even higher than the height of immortal ascension. After all, back then the King of Mystic Sky could ascend to immortality but was unable to cross the high wall.”

“Change the perspective. If one could now leap across the high wall, perhaps in the past, one would also have ascended to immortality.”

At this thought, Li Fan was momentarily lost in contemplation.

“Immortal…”

Ten thousand years have passed, times have changed. Despite being of the same realm, one was the path to immortality ascension, while the other was locked below the high wall.

Even if one could cross, there would still be unknown risks to face beyond The Wall.

Even if one could leap across, perhaps one would also need to face the unknown risks beyond The Wall.
