Chapter 1182 Survivors of Civilization
By comparing the flow of time with the Xuanhuang realm, Li Fan, the saint fetus, was able to roughly judge the distance to the destination.
When the flow of time on both sides gradually decreased to a ratio of three to one.
Li Fan knew that the unknown existence he was seeking was just ahead.
On the way forward, apart from the giant corpses of the dead, he also encountered other things from the ancient world of destruction and cultivation.
Including but not limited to, the remains of cultivators, and the ruins of buildings.
And Li Fan even picked up some magical treasures that cultivators had used in the past.
However, after floating in the void for too long, they had all lost their spiritual energy and were unusable.
But from the way the magical treasures were made and their outward characteristics, it was clear that they came from different cultivation realms.
These "miscellaneous items" in the void seemed to be left behind because the two forces in the void reached a subtle balance, and they were not drawn towards the Immortal Realm.
Instead, they remained here, as if forgotten by the world.
The further he went, the more of these "junk" items he found in the void, all of which were evidence of the existence of different cultivation realms in the past.
Not sure if these items still carried the power of the true celestial characters, Li Fan did not dare to touch them.
He only controlled the puppets and the sword body, constantly avoiding them.
As a result, the speed inevitably slowed down.
"Fortunately, my guess was right. The closer I get to the starry sea, the weaker the impact of the 'dú' tactic on me."
"I have temporarily escaped the danger of being engulfed."
However...
The power of the true celestial characters was not to be underestimated.
Although he had not been completely eroded, Li Fan also felt various changes in his behavior and thoughts.
For example, he would inexplicably have thoughts of avoiding everything and living in seclusion.
Furthermore, the strange and unique foundation of the Black Sword Heaven in his body seemed to have a hint of alienation from himself.
From a worldly perspective, this was truly an incredible thing.
After all, Li Fan had devoured it and integrated it into his own foundation, making them essentially one entity.
But the power of the true celestial characters could forcibly reverse this fusion.
"Completely alone?"
"Lonely?"
A faint sense of unease arose in Li Fan's heart.
Would this power of loneliness affect his true self and the "Still True" character?
Although the status of "Still True" was high enough, it still could not withstand the fact that his own strength was not yet satisfactory!
Even if there was only a possibility of this, Li Fan could not bear such a risk.
Li Fan gradually made a decision in his heart.
"Even if it means wasting this opportunity for exploration, I cannot let the power of loneliness affect me."
"Before any signs appear, I must end my own life prematurely."
With this thought in mind, Li Fan swallowed the last nourishing treasure for his soul, and then invoked the Soulburning Decision.
The speed suddenly soared, shuttling rapidly through the gaps in the sea of ruins in the void, which seemed to have no end.
The nourishing power in his body was almost exhausted, but he still couldn't break out of this vast sea area.
"If these miscellaneous items can be preserved..."
"Then, can't the remnants of the past cultivation realms also be preserved in better condition?"
As he lingered in this vast sea of relics, Li Fan suddenly remembered the act of moving world remnants from the starry sea with the transmission method and the sky doctor, to repair the Xuanhuang realm.
"Who's there?"
Just as he was pondering, Li Fan suddenly felt a divine sense locking onto him in the void!
With a shout, he looked towards the source of the lock-on.
The sense of being locked on disappeared in an instant, and he only saw a blurry figure quickly flickering and disappearing into the darkness.
Li Fan's face darkened as he moved to the location where the figure had appeared.
"It's not some mysterious and strange entity, but a living person?"
"In the darkest starry sea, apart from the Xuanhuang realm, there are actually other surviving cultivation civilizations?"
Li Fan was extremely shaken.
Not only because he sensed the aura of that figure, but also because the other party left behind a message.
To Li Fan, it was somewhat inexplicable, as it seemed to be a mental note that only cultivators could use.
"丙三, 七日朔?"
"咎?"
Looking at these two short sentences, Li Fan fell into contemplation.
"It should be some kind of secret code. But the universal written language of the cultivation realms, undoubtedly, can only be left by surviving cultivators."
Although he had not yet seen the source of the starry sea power that had caused the Xuanhuang realm to tremble, the knowledge that there was another civilization still surviving in the starry sea was of great significance to Li Fan.
"For so many years, in order to survive in the darkest starry sea, besides being able to ensure the necessary resources for survival, the most important thing is to resist the attraction of the Immortal Realm. And being located at the delicate balance point between the two forces has created a safe zone."
"This also means..."
Li Fan's gaze flickered as he looked at the mental note from the unknown cultivator, and he showed extreme caution by not replying.
"The power in the starry sea, which can rival the Immortal Realm, did not suddenly appear recently."
"It's because of some sudden incident that led to a strong eruption. This is why it was sensed by the Xuanhuang realm, far beyond the Immortal Realm."
Li Fan once again had the vision of the Immortal Realm and the Master of Transmission and Medicine moving world remnants and mending the Xuanhuang Realm in the darkest starry sea.
"Interesting."
Due to the power of loneliness, Li Fan's somewhat indifferent heart regained its excitement after learning about the new civilization.
But he forcibly suppressed it.
"Even though I haven't come into contact with them yet, it's obviously not easy to survive in such a harsh environment."
"And the laws here in the darkest starry sea are more perfect than those in the Xuanhuang realm. The upper limit is higher, and these people have been here for so long..."
"Their strength cannot be underestimated."
But Li Fan was not worried about the Xuanhuang realm. The monsters were frequent, and the Master of Transmission and Medicine had his new methods.
While inside this sea of ruins, resources were scarce. If they were to really fight, the Xuanhuang realm would definitely prevail.
"I might have been overthinking it. The distance is so remote, it's a luxury to even hope for a chance encounter."
Putting aside the thought of pitting the two surviving civilizations of the darkest starry sea against each other for the time being.
The immediate problem in front of Li Fan was that he had very little time left.
Should he continue to advance into the depths of the sea of ruins, in search of the source of the starry sea power?
Or should he try to make contact with the civilization here?
After a brief moment of consideration, Li Fan made his decision.
He chose the latter option.
"They have been living here for a long time and must have a better understanding of the starry sea power."
"Instead of wandering aimlessly, it's better to seek guidance from them."
Li Fan's eyes flickered.
