Chapter 637: Chapter 604: Life and Death Meet at Immortal Ruins
Under normal circumstances, the resting cultivators inside the real Medicine King Cauldron are protected by the [Great Dream Spring Autumn Array], and it would be a difficult task for Li Fan to achieve his goal.
However, the forceful separation from the [Immortal Ruins] inevitably had some effect on the Array Technique.
More importantly, Li Fan was aware that a Medicine King Sect cultivator named Ling Huchang hadn’t successfully integrated into the [Great Dream Spring Autumn Array] yet.
The room he was residing in was not sealed completely, still leaving a tiny gap.
If could exploit the memories within his Spirit Consciousness, the real Medicine King Cauldron would be virtually undefended against Li Fan.
As for the cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm, he wouldn’t disturb them and let them continue their slumber.
If necessary, he could use the Divine Technique of [Binding Worms] to kill one by one those who are below the Nascent Soul Realm.
Of course, even if every Medicine King Sect disciple held numerous magic tools and elixirs.
But to the current Li Fan, these external items had lost their significance.
What he was truly interested in was the Medicine King Cauldron itself, capable of crossing the void.
As well as the set of world markers in the Medicine King Sect which pointed to another Immortal Cultivation World.
“Even if the Immortal Ruins exist here, I may be temporarily unable to escape the Xuanhuang World. But one day, I must leave this place.”
“To capture these markers is to prepare for the future.”
Besides, there was another reason why Li Fan had taken the trouble to journey a long distance to this place.
He wanted to personally witness the existence of the [Immortal Ruins].
Li Fan lifts his head and gazes at the sky, calming his thoughts, waiting for the arrival of the real Medicine King Cauldron.
In during wait, he experiences the unique [Immortal Subduing Force] of the Abyss of the Verdant Wutong, and cannot help but marvel at the mystery of creation.
Unlike the prohibition and arrays that weaken a cultivator’s power, this [Immortal Subduing Force] seems to scale down their realm.
With his current training in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, although his power seems unhindered, it is only equivalent to that of the Golden Core Stage.
“How intriguing, just like being a mortal entering a giant’s kingdom. Though one’s actual height doesn’t change, compared to the surroundings, one truly feels like a ‘little person’.”
Just as Li Fan was secretly marveling, nearby floating building ruins seem to be moved by the wind, slowly shifting position with the creaking sounds and about to hit Li Fan’s spot.
A sudden, eerie sense of life seemed to emanate from these ruins, as if having a will of their own.
Li Fan furrows his brows slightly, choosing not to destroy the ruins but to avoid them instead.
However, as broken walls passed by him, Li Fan seemed to have spotted something, his gaze freezing.
His figure swiftly landed on one of the stone pillars.
Unknown how many years have passed, the patterns carved on the stone pillar have long been blurred.
Even the stone pillar itself had been weathered away for the most part.
However, with his Secret Techniques from [Taoist Divine One], Li Fan could remember every last moment vividly in his Spirit Consciousness.
Because of this, even if only the incomplete lines remained, he still found the patterns on the stone pillar somehow familiar.
A look of surprise appeared in Li Fan’s eyes.
He compared the pattern before him with those he’d seen somewhere from his memory.
They were exactly the same!
Li Fan looked up and surveyed the ocean-like architectural ruins in the [Lost Enigmatic City] around him, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Could these buildings have all come from within the Mist?
In the Enshrouded Realm where he discovered the Secret Technique of [Chaos], Li Fan had previously seen twelve large ruins.
The patterns engraved on the buildings in those ruins were identical to the ones here.
Li Fan also revisited the origin of the Abyss of the Verdant Wutong.
On a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, the whole landscapes of Cangwu State disappeared, leaving only this abyss shaped like a footprint.
Li Fan took a glance into the depths of the abyss.
It was gloomy and bottomless, the end could not be seen.
“Does the Deep Abyss of Cangwu lead to the deep regions of the White Mist?
“In ancient times, there was no Element Devouring White Fog application feature in the Xuanhuang World. But now, White Fog splits the whole world…”
“Where did it come from? And what was the identity of the cultivators whom I saw drearily expired in the White Fog Mystical Realm?”
Many doubts rised in Li Fan’s mind in that moment.
However, before he had a chance for further thoughts, a meteor streaked across the night sky, lighting up the Sky Dome in an instant.
Looking up, Li Fan saw the trail of light plummets directly towards his location.
At the same time, a sense of inexplicable palpitation surged in his heart.
It was like facing a fated enemy, or a terrible disaster.
His heart ached and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Li Fan knew that this was the influence of the remaining Xianxu aura from the Medicine King Cauldron that had just escaped from danger.
He took a certain distance from the predicted landing spot, but his gaze never left the fire meteor in the sky.
The Medicine King Cauldron fell at an extreme speed, and within a few breaths, it fell from the sky dome to the ground and continued towards the Abyss of Cangwu.
Upon entering the abyss, its speed gradually slowed down and the external flame gradually extinguished.
And the living beings in the abyss could sense the aura of the Immortal Ruins and instinctively avoided it in panic, paving the way for it.
The real Medicine King Cauldron stopped perfectly at the same position as in the previous life.
After emitting an inexplicable distress signal towards the outside world, the Medicine King Cauldron gradually became transparent and disappeared into the air.
Li Fan did not rush to act, only patiently waiting until the Xianxu aura lingering on the real Medicine King Cauldron completely dissipated. Then, he commanded the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron to enter it.
With the exploration experience of Xiao Heng and others from the previous life, Li Fan smoothly arrived at the slightly ajar door of Ling Huchang’s room.
