Anchor Point for 9 years, Li Fan once received a meritorious mission.
Assist the Conqueror’s Martial Hall of the Cong Yun Sea in clearing out the Red-Haired Beasts on Wanlai Island.
Those beasts feed on sound and reproduce rapidly.
They can also merge with each other, forming monsters with strength far exceeding the average individual.
After a fierce battle, the martial team successfully eradicated a certain number of Red-Haired Beasts and completed the mission smoothly.
Li Fan asked Jiang Zhengji in surprise why they didn’t completely eradicate the beasts on Wanlai Island.
Jiang Zhengji told him that the Conqueror’s Martial Hall headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had a mission to collect and submit a certain number of sound-absorbing treasures from various places every year.
And the required quantity is increasing.
At that time, Li Fan just felt that this mission was quite strange.
Sure enough, just as this thought popped into Li Fan’s mind, he heard Huangfu Song say with some emotion, “The demonic sounds coming from the bottom of the roaring abyss are extremely terrifying. The alliance has tried various methods, but none can stop it.”
“Silencing spells, soundproof materials, none of them work.”
“It wasn’t until later that a cultivator used a stone clam treasure that could absorb and emit sound, discovering the effectiveness of this type of treasure.”
“Perhaps because these treasures have no consciousness or complex thoughts, the demonic sounds that are fatal to cultivators have greatly reduced effects on them.”
“It’s truly one thing against another!”
“The alliance has collected many such treasures, finally holding the line against the roaring abyss. And for safety’s sake, the Eternal Immortal Stronghold was relocated to its original position, suppressing the roaring abyss.”
“So, are we going there this time because something happened to the Eternal Immortal Stronghold?” Li Fan asked.
Huangfu Song shook his head, “The Eternal Immortal Stronghold is guarded by a great figure and has accumulated many treasures. The defense line is almost unshakeable.”
“In fact, this incident occurred outside the roaring abyss…”
Huangfu Song was about to continue, but his expression changed slightly.
He glanced out the window and ordered, “Get ready, we’re about to depart.”
“Xue, drink your tea. Crossing through the white mist consumes quite a bit of lifespan. This is compensation for you, it won’t be available if you miss it.”
With that, he shifted slightly, sitting upright on a circular seat below him.
Seeing this, Li Fan also mimicked his posture and sat properly.
With a slight sensation, in an instant, it seemed like they entered another space, separating from the cabin.
Xue Mu just finished drinking the spirit tea when the flying boat suddenly shook violently. He staggered, almost falling to the ground.
But this sudden acceleration of the flying boat had no effect on Li Fan and Huangfu Song.
Both of them looked at Xue Mu with smiles on their faces.
The flying boat seemed to be continuously accelerating, and it took some effort for Xue Mu to clumsily sit on the circular seat.
After Xue Mu settled down, Huangfu Song restrained his smile and continued the previous topic, “Not long ago, the alliance discovered that outside the roaring abyss, not far from here, there are signs of another domain about to emerge.”
“Dealing with the roaring abyss itself is already difficult. If these two domains merge, who knows what will happen.”
“So the alliance has ordered to move the newly emerged domain here to another open space.”
“And, outside these two domains, the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array is being constructed for future monitoring and observation.”
“That’s the purpose of our trip.”
Huangfu Song said lightly.
The information in these few sentences was quite substantial.
“Domains can move?”
“Domains can merge?”
Xue Mu and Li Fan asked at the same time.
Huangfu Song glanced at the two and explained, “Domains only undergo changes in spatial structure after entering specific areas.”
“But outside this area, everything is normal.”
“That’s the boundary of the domain. If one masters the Dao of Space, naturally, they can cut and move this entire area.”
“Although it’s a bit troublesome, it’s not difficult at all.”
“Of course, such matters are handled by us old folks. We can’t rely on you young people.”
“Your task is to cooperate in building the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array and seal off the domain.”
Li Fan nodded slightly.
Xue Mu, however, still seemed puzzled: “Senior Huangfu, if domains can be moved, why not move that, uh, roaring abyss away, instead of spending so much effort to suppress it?”
Huangfu Song smiled knowingly, “Yes, why not?”
Xue Mu was suddenly at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.
He looked deeply at Xue Mu and said slowly, “Who knows what even more terrifying things might emerge after moving it? It’s better to suppress it honestly. At least, we’re still at a manageable stage for now.”
“Wait until the Tianxuan Mirror…”
Just as Huangfu Song’s words abruptly stopped, a chilling sensation suddenly appeared in Li Fan’s heart.
His body felt cold, as if something was wandering around.
Meanwhile, his mind felt empty, as if something was quietly slipping away unnoticed.
Xue Mu’s face turned pale, and although Huangfu Song’s complexion remained unchanged, the fleeting fear in his eyes didn’t escape Li Fan’s notice.
Li Fan opened the Truth Panel and saw that his physiological age had unexpectedly turned 50 in a short time.
Fortunately, his mental age remained steadfast, keeping him fearless.
However, he couldn’t show it. Li Fan pretended to be very nervous and asked, “Have we entered the depths of the Devouring Primordial White Mist?”
Then he looked out the window.
Sure enough, it was all white, nothing could be seen.
Huangfu Song nodded, “The location of the roaring abyss is not far from the edge of the white mist. We’ll be there soon.”
“The closer we get to the domain, the stronger the Primordial White Mist’s ability to devour lifespan.”
“It’s okay inside this Dust Crossing Boat. But without protection, even a thousand years of lifespan wouldn’t be enough if you enter the domain alone.”
“Remember to carry the Black Death Talisman with you in the domain.”
“Otherwise, with your mere Golden Core cultivation, I’m afraid it will only take the time of an incense stick for you to turn into piles of bones.”
Huangfu Song solemnly instructed, then remembered something and added, “Hmm, this thing will be distributed uniformly to you before we disembark.”
“Remember to retrieve it before leaving.”
Unexpectedly, the mission location this time is so dangerous.
Xue Mu, who was originally not good with words, became even more silent at this moment.
Although he tried to appear calm, he couldn’t hide the anxiety in his heart.
Li Fan also continued to display a mixture of fear and composure.
Huangfu Song had finished explaining what needed to be said, and at this point, the cabin fell into silence.
But the silence didn’t last long.
Shortly after, rustling sounds suddenly appeared in Li Fan’s ears.
“Heal…”
“The heavens…”
Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at the two beside him.
“Did you hear something?” he asked.
