Chapter 1315: The Shock of Creation_2
Large swathes of green grass, as if stimulated by something, began to grow wildly.
In an instant, it became taller than a person.
It even lifted a solitary high stone from the ground on the grassland.
A rainbow arc of light suddenly appeared in the sky.
The arc was colorful, and one could vaguely see lightning flashing and a storm gathering within it.
Around the rainbow light arc, several invisible figures gradually gathered, as if they were waiting for something.
A pitch-black lightning bolt fiercely struck down towards the ground from the arc.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The world was split in half because of it, deep fissures cut into the space, unable to heal for a long time. And on the grassland, the continuous green grass was ignited. The fierce fire spread rapidly.
The grassland trembled, and beneath the raging fire, something seemed to be awakening.
Above in the high sky, the invisible ones around the arc converged even more towards the interior of the arc.
Even a dispute over positions arose among them.
Huge sounds of banging and crashing arose incessantly.
The storm brewed to its utmost, then suddenly fell into stillness. The rolling black clouds dissipated without a trace in an instant.
Within the colorful light arc, in the clear expanse of the sky above.
A mystic character was revealed!
...
At this point, the scene came to a sudden stop.
The Elders of the Immortal Ark who were deeply immersed in it instantly glared, turning their heads toward Li Fan.
"What's next!" Zhong Daogong couldn't care less about his image, and shouted anxiously.
This Chief of the Immortal Pivot Court of the Immortal Ark had already faintly glimpsed the outline of the True Immortal Seal Characters within the light arc.
Even though the scene was suddenly interrupted by Li Fan, preventing a complete view.
Nevertheless, Zhong Daogong still believed that the power of the True Immortal Seal Characters far surpassed any other True Immortal Seal Characters he had seen before!
The cultivator from Da Qi before them, had, in fact, not lied!
"How much did you all see?!" Zhong Daogong nearly roared in his question.
"It was too fast! He cut it off too quickly! How could one possibly see clearly such powerful True Immortal Seal Characters in just an instant?!"
"There is no mistake, this overwhelming sensation that makes one's Divine Soul tremble... it's even more intense than when I first caught a glimpse of the True Immortal Seal Characters. Its power is far beyond that of a single character!"
"That scene just now, was it True Immortals from the Immortal World, competing for the character within the solitary light? Even Immortals wish to snatch it... it's unimaginable, unimaginable!"
"We must obtain it at all costs!"
The surface of the Elders of the Immortal Ark remained unruffled, but inwardly they were boiling with excitement.
Upon personally witnessing the mystic character in the solitary light, they held no more doubts about Li Fan's earlier words. At the same time, they instantly agreed that they must possess this piece of the True Immortal Seal Characters!
The members of the Immortal Ark were already impatient, but Li Fan seemed utterly oblivious.
He solemnly said, "One thing needs to be clarified upfront. The scene I just showed comes from the memories of an Immortal Instrument. Initially hidden within the deep imprints of the Immortal Instrument, it was not easily detected. However, over these ten thousand years, as our Da Qi has continuously deepened the development and use of this Immortal Instrument, we finally managed to unearth it."
"At that time, the Immortal Instrument was newly born, its power was weak. It wasn't enough to perfectly record that True Immortal Seal Character. So, what we have reproduced is merely a flawed replica..."
The Elders of the Immortal Ark were all deep researchers of the True Immortal Seal Characters, how could they not understand the implication in Li Fan's words?
Far from being disappointed, Li Fan's "honest" attitude deepened their trust even more.
"Fellow Daoist, since we've talked this far, why not pay a visit to the Immortal Boat. The authentic True Immortal Seal Characters, the treasures within the Hundred Hearings Immortal Record, all are yours to choose from!" Zhong Daogong suppressed his inner excitement and said in a deep voice.
Amidst everyone's anticipatory gazes, Li Fan pondered for a moment before finally agreeing with pleasure: "I have long heard of the name of the Immortal Boat. Now that I have the good fortune to ascend, when I return, I will certainly have to brag about it to my masters and schoolmates..."
The members of the Immortal Ark all breathed a sigh of relief.
A group of people escorted Li Fan, leaving the Illusion Array in the Void, heading towards the direction of the Sea of Relics.
Passing through the Sea of Relics, arriving at the peripheral region, Zhong Daogong formed a seal with his hands, revealing the hidden Immortal Boat.
Li Fan's eyes momentarily flashed with proper disappointment.
However, it was quickly concealed.
Upon entering the Immortal Boat and seeing the God Tree floating in the Void, he became somewhat surprised again.
A group of Elders introduced to Li Fan: "This is the [Sacred Tree of Life], its main body is said to be a magnificent God Tree rooted beneath the endless Star Sea, its branches and leaves sprawling, covering countless worlds within the Immortal Cultivation World."
"After the branches of the God Tree penetrate into the Immortal Cultivation World, they can extract the vitality of the world, intertwining its roots with it. Hence, it is named [Sacred Tree of Life]. It is with this method that the Divine Tree has spread throughout the Star Sea."
"However, these are all legends after all. No one has ever truly seen the God Tree's main body. With the Star Sea now shattered, it's unknown whether this God Tree still exists..."
The Elders quickly shifted the topic to other sights within the Immortal Boat.
"This Golden Skull with three eyes comes from the Ancient Xian Realm of [Dusty Abyss]. It is said that the realm has a bloodline of True Immortals from the Immortal World, thus most of its cultivators have three eyes. With extraordinary qualifications, they possess various inconceivable Divine Techniques. However, when the Great Calamity arrived, the Dusty Abyss was one of the first unfortunate worlds."
As the group talked, they soon arrived at the very top of the Immortal Boat Divine Tree.
With a sign from the Elders' eyes, they did not avoid Li Fan, an outsider, and joined hands in casting spells.
Invisible ripples spread out from the top of the God Tree.
Then, a pink flower appeared out of nothingness and slowly bloomed.
Merely an image, not physical, yet it emanated bursts of fragrance.
A path emerged in the center of the flower.
"Fellow Daoist, please!" Zhong Daogong looked at Li Fan.
Li Fan gave a slight smile, seemingly without any defenses, and walked straight into it.
Striding forward, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed.
Rows of wooden cabinets, neatly arranged.
An end not visible at first glance.
And in the air, a slender arm was constantly manipulating these cabinets.
When it sensed Li Fan's presence, the movement of the arm suddenly stopped.
Stretching out its fingers, it was about to grab Li Fan.
Fortunately, the quickly arriving Elders of the Immortal Ark stopped the arm's actions.
Li Fan observed the long arm with interest and asked, "It doesn't seem to be alive?"
Zhong Daogong nodded: "Fellow Daoist has good eyesight. This arm, in strict terms, is also a True Immortal Seal. However, it's a total assembled from countless fragments of True Immortal Seal Characters."
"Many years ago, due to carelessness, the Immortal Boat was targeted by thieves. In the Hundred Hearings Immortal Record, we lost several Supreme Treasures. After much reflection and pain, we finally developed this [Arm of Severing Immortals]."
A hint of pride flashed across Zhong Daogong's face: "Without the collective permission of the Immortal Ship Elders Council, no matter the strength, trying to take away Treasures in front of this Arm of Severing Immortals..."
"Is absolutely impossible."
Jian Dusheng also said, "Fellow Daoist, can you perceive the mystery of this [Arm of Severing Immortals]?"
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, looked for a while, as if understanding: "Is the Immortal Boat directly engraving the structure fragments of True Immortal Seal Characters with this space?"
"Are we actually inside the body of the Arm of Severing Immortals?"
Zhong Daogong chuckled: "Not only that! Even many of the Treasures inside this Hundred Hearings Immortal Record are now part of the Arm of Severing Immortals. To take one away, it would have to be peeled off using our Secret Immortal Technique."
"Otherwise, one would have to take the entire Arm of Severing Immortals with them..."
"Hmph, that's certainly not something that can be done by human effort."
