Chapter 1184 The Origin Power of Immortality
The material of this flag treasure itself is also quite ordinary. In this ocean of relics, it is not specially selected for its value.
"Could it be for the power of the immortal seal characters on top, whose side effects have already faded?" Li Fan suddenly realized.
Gently stroking the flag, he sensed a familiar aura.
"The Chaotic Seal..."
"However, with the passage of time, even the power of the immortal seal characters will eventually come to an end."
In his mind, the complete character "Chaotic" appeared, and a moment later, Li Fan's hand holding the flag twitched slightly.
Because he found that just now, the last remaining power attached to the flag had completely dissipated.
In its place, his understanding of the "Chaotic" character had unexpectedly deepened a bit!
This progress was very subtle.
However, Li Fan's understanding of the chaotic character itself was only at a very basic level, so the improvement was relatively obvious.
"Can it actually become a material for enlightenment?"
Li Fan couldn't help but feel a bit shaken, and as he looked at the countless floating relics here, his eyes held a different look.
"However, the regret is that it seems that only relics with the power of the immortal seal characters on the verge of dissipation can be used as enlightenment materials, otherwise there would be a risk of harm. The method to distinguish them..."
Li Fan's gaze turned to the concealed hiding place.
For the next half year, Li Fan continued to hide in the dark. Every time there were cultivators going out to collect relics, he would do the same.
He sent out his divided consciousness to attach to those collected relics.
The purpose was twofold: to study the triggering of the alert system and to also obtain all the enlightenment relics with the power of the immortal seal characters.
In the Xuanhuang Realm, the final disintegration disc in his divine sea was tirelessly analyzing an unknown formation.
And through his research on the eight relics he obtained, Li Fan became even more convinced of his judgment.
The other surviving civilization in this dark star ocean collected these relics for the purpose of studying and even utilizing the power of the immortal seal characters.
"To actually have a way to discern the level of this power..."
"It seems that the strength here should not be underestimated."
Among these eight artifacts, three came from "Chaotic" and two came from "Hunger."
As for the remaining two, they were influenced by other, currently unknown, immortal seal characters.
And Li Fan also discovered the differences among them.
He had personally seen the original forms of "Chaotic" and "Hunger." Even the imitation works written by unknown individuals gave him a rough understanding of their origins. As a result, he was able to easily absorb the remaining power on the enlightenment relics and turn it into enlightenment nourishment.
The situation with the other two relics was vastly different.
It was difficult to even sense their nature solely by the remaining fading power, let alone continue to comprehend their essence.
In terms of utilization, their efficiency was a thousand times lower than that of "Chaotic" and "Hunger."
"This is the difference between top-down and bottom-up. Knowing the true meaning of the immortal seal characters, one can understand everything from a superior position."
"And if one starts from ignorance and tries to explore and study blindly..."
"It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens! With mortal strength, it's futile to explore the power of the immortal characters..."
Li Fan pondered deeply.
"Not all cultivators can have enough opportunity to personally witness the true origin and meaning of the immortal seal characters."
"The Chaotic Seal, hidden in the reverse mirage domain inside the white mist, is difficult for ordinary people to encounter in their entire lives. And the Hunger Seal is engraved on the Immortal Ruins! Seeing it means death. If it weren't for my true form, I wouldn't be able to grasp it."
"And the 'Nothing' Seal is something I happened to discover in a small world after the destruction of a golden skull..."
Looking at the unknown civilization hidden in the darkness, a thought naturally emerged in Li Fan's mind.
"The so-called rare treasures can be found. The value and potential of these true meanings in this civilization may be even higher than I imagined."
...
More than thirty days later, the final disintegration disc finally broke the triggering mechanism of the alert.
For safety's sake, Li Fan did not personally take the risk.
He continued to use his divided consciousness to explore.
Although he had cut off many of his soul fragments over the past half year, there seemed to be some kind of strange power near the hiding place of this civilization.
It was able to resist all sorts of strange attacks from the void, and as a result, Li Fan's recovery speed was also very fast.
For him, cutting off his divided consciousness was just a bit painful.
The final disintegration disc was truly trustworthy.
This time, the relics attached by his divided consciousness successfully passed the detection and entered the interior of the passage.
The connection became much weaker, but he could still barely sense the situation inside the hiding place.
The three-person team that went out to collect relics continued to move forward, dragging something with a black rope. Only after passing through three protective checks of the passage did they finally enter the safe zone.
They impatiently removed their armor and complained incessantly.
"The useful relics near the Immortal Boat are getting fewer and fewer. We only found so few this time..."
"The next mission will probably take us out of the safe zone."
"We've been staying here for a hundred years? I don't know why we haven't left yet."
"Supposedly, there was a plan to change the mooring location, but a while ago..."
"Shh, it's better not to discuss this. Wu Xing was locked up for ten years because of this."
The three of them avoided the topic with tact.
Continuing on with their harvest, they proceeded to the deeper areas of the hiding place.
"The Immortal Boat?" Li Fan murmured as he heard their conversation.
After passing through a long, narrow, and dim passage, the front suddenly opened up into a beautiful valley.
Ahead, there was an old man with snow-white hair, holding a strange artifact similar to a book, waiting for the three of them.
"I'll take a look at this..." The old man's originally smiling face darkened immediately upon seeing the number of relics behind the three individuals.
"Elder, please forgive us. Our luck was not good on this trip," the oldest-looking cultivator among the three said with a wry smile.
The old man shook his head, sighed, and ultimately didn't say much.
He sent out a beam of light from the book-like artifact in his hand, enveloping all the relics inside.
As the light beam retracted, it seemed that the inspection of the relics had been completed.
"We'll have to make up for it next time."
"You all know the situation with the Immortal Boat. If we're short of one or two relics every time, it's still manageable in the short term. If it continues for a long time, it won't be good for any of us," the old man said coldly.
The senior cultivator didn't argue, just nodded repeatedly.
"Take the relics to the 'Tower of Immortal Severance' for me," the old man ordered.
