Chapter 1176 Intention into Deep Space
After the stone puppets drifted away from the Xuanhuang Realm and headed towards the depths of the starry sky, they lost contact with Li Fan.
However, the shocking facts they observed continued to impact Li Fan.
"How could something come from the depths of the darkest star sea?"
"Could it be that there is another Hunger Immortal there?!"
Li Fan was inexplicably horrified.
The original body in the Yinfajeuk Space even had to actively activate the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra to suppress the shock and not show any abnormality.
For Li Fan, such things had not happened for a long time.
The tremors in the Xuanhuang Realm continued.
But as time passed, it was becoming apparent that the level of shaking was slowly decreasing.
This inexplicable catastrophe was passing.
But the storm of thoughts in Li Fan's mind was just beginning.
"The attraction of the Immortal Realm is generated by a True Immortal's understanding of the word 'Hunger'. Sitting in enlightenment, forgetting oneself, has caused destructive effects on this star domain."
"But the True Immortal Word is not just something one person can comprehend. The abnormality in the Xuanhuang Realm, it seems that the Grand Master of Native Dao Province is exploring the mysteries of the Hunger Word."
"From the current Xuanhuang disturbances, it now seems that there are two possible explanations. The first is that the cause of the disaster is not related to the 'Hunger' word, but rather the consequences of the existence of beings of the same level. Only the power of a True Immortal level can cause such a dramatic impact on the Xuanhuang Realm."
"But this means that an unknown entity with the power of a True Immortal is still lurking in the depths of the darkest star sea. This..."
Li Fan felt a chill in his heart.
"The second possibility is that a survivor in the star sea, or even a transmission. They are also exploring the Hunger Word. Recently, they have made a breakthrough, causing this phenomenon. The possibility of a Transcendent Master transmitting a message in advance is quite high."
"But no matter which speculation, it cannot explain the most crucial point: why did this world undergo such a change?"
The stone's essence flashed, cycling through the experiences of this world over and over again.
But it was impossible to determine what had caused such a significant deviation.
"No matter if it's a True Immortal or an entity capable of understanding the Hunger Word, my actions in this world should not yet have enough influence on them."
"But all this has happened."
Li Fan remained silent.
This was what happened when one's strength reached a certain level, where even one's slightest actions could affect the outside world and even change others' destinies. Variables yielded more variables, endlessly, eventually leading to unexpected events.
"The original body has always been in the Yinfajeuk Space, so it can be ruled out. The avatar Li Ping only hops around the Great Qi Minor World, and even if it transports the Five Elements Grand Heaven, it is definitely not enough to cause such a dramatic change. It must have been the trouble during the Saintly Embryo's travels."
After some thought, Li Fan finally pinpointed the source of the change to the mysterious figure at the bottom of the Roaring Abyss and the intangible presence in the Temptation Domain.
"These two individuals, one collecting world fragments and the other collecting the bodies of cultivators, should mostly be active in the darkest star sea."
"Because of the Saintly Embryo's interference, their activities have deviated from the previous cycle. This is what caused the shaking of the Xuanhuang Realm…"
"What else is there in the darkest star sea?"
At this moment, a hint of curiosity arose again in Li Fan's mind.
Previously, it was believed that only the Xuanhuang Realm survived in the darkest star sea. Beyond the Xuanhuang Realm was only the wandering world fragments and a dead silence.
Now, it seemed that there were still hidden secrets there.
"Indeed. I have always been puzzled about the world fragments of the immortal realm in the darkest star sea, what form do they exist in? Under the influence of the Immortal Realm's attraction, even a complete immortal realm is inevitably pulled towards the Immortal Realm. These fragments should not be able to resist and should have been swallowed by the Immortal Realm long ago."
"But from the continuous patching of the Xuanhuang Realm and the scenes seen by Han Zhong in the Eye of the Comet, there still seems to be a large number of world fragments in the darkest star sea. In a way that I currently do not know…"
Feeling the intermittent shaking of the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan suddenly had a flash of insight.
"Right! Because of the existence of the Immortal Realm's attraction, I have not been able to escape the Xuanhuang Realm and explore the darkest star sea. But now, because of this inexplicable attraction from the depths of the darkest star sea, maybe…"
"There's no time to lose. The shaking is about to disappear, and I don't have much time left."
In the City of Broken Palm Immortals.
During the Xuanhuang Realm's tremors, even the Roaring Abyss remained quiet, without any noise at all.
And after suppressing the Abyss for a hundred years, the Blue Xuan Army, who had stood firm in the face of the terrifying tide of demonic sounds, now saw the true terror of heaven and earth, their faces pale with trembling.
If it wasn't for Li Fan's Holy Embryo teaching the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra, it's likely that many of them, with the negative emotions suppressed in the past, would have erupted all at once and lost their minds on the spot.
Not to mention the ordinary Blue Xuan Army, even the leader of the Blue Xuan Army, the Sovereign of He Dao Shang, who had known in advance about the Xuanhuang tremors, still seemed a bit unsettled in the face of such a heavenly disaster.
"I never thought that the vast Xuanhuang Realm would be like a boat in a storm, with the imminent danger of capsizing at any moment," said Shang Shaojun, sounding somewhat bitter.
But Li Fan, the Holy Embryo, had no time to console him.
"Shaojun, please help me."
"What?" Shang Shaojun was momentarily confused and asked in confusion.
"Help me prepare these things as soon as possible." After handing the inventory list to Shang Shaojun, Li Fan's expression became serious as he looked up at the sky of the Xuanhuang Realm.
"It won't be a problem to gather these supplies. Most of them are in the Eternal Immortal Fortresses, but Li Xiong, what do you want these things for?" Shang Shaojun looked to where Li Fan was gazing.
"With such tremendous and magnificent power, the entire world seems so fragile in front of it like a toy. Shaojun, aren't you curious?" Li Fan's eyes were firm, even showing a hint of madness.
"I want to fly out of the Xuanhuang Realm, get to the bottom of this, and find out the truth!" he declared.
"You must not! Outside the Xuanhuang Realm is..." Shang Shaojun's complexion changed and he began to advise, but then he stopped inexplicably.
"Haha, Shaojun, do you want to say the word Immortal Realm?" Li Fan's words utterly shocked Shang Shaojun, who looked at him in disbelief.
Li Fan did not explain how he knew this top-secret information, but instead waved his hand and said solemnly, "It is precisely because the Immortal Realm exists that now is a rare opportunity!"
"Li Xiong, what do you mean..." Shang Shaojun was filled with endless suspicion.
"Do you think, Shaojun, that the culprit of this calamity is the Immortal Realm?" Li Fan asked.
