Chapter 173: Fallen Immortal Realm
🕑 Added 2023-11-27 16:07:14 +0000 UTC"Senior, I can truthfully disclose the collection locations of those two Blue Blood Corals. As for the reward, it doesn't matter to me. However, after the investigation, could you inform me of the results?"
"I consider myself to have a decent judgment most of the time, but I never expected to overlook something so valuable. If I don't understand the reason behind it, I can't help but feel regret."
Li Fan messaged Chen Ying through the Tianxuan Mirror.
Before long, Chen Ying replied, "Hehe, it's just my speculation for now. Young friend, you don't need to worry too much. We still need to confirm on-site before drawing any final conclusions. If you don't mind, you can come with me."
Looking at Chen Ying's invitation, Li Fan immediately searched for information about him.
Chen Ying, Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator, elder of the Medicine Hall, highly skilled in cultivating spirit plants, and equally proficient in alchemy.
"Go together..."
"This person should have no ill intentions. Besides, he is only at the Nascent Soul early stage."
"If he really discovers some secret and wants to silence me, I should have the ability to defend myself, especially with the 'Blood Essence of Ten Thousand People' as my trump card."
Having killed a Nascent Soul cultivator, his mindset had become different. Adding to this, there was also the "Blood Essence of Ten Thousand People," so even if the other party attempted betrayal, Li Fan still had the power to resist.
"What do I wish for?"
After contemplating for a while, Li Fan replied in this manner.
"Good! There's no time to waste; let's depart immediately. I'll be waiting for you at the Transmission Square."
"By the way, for safety's sake, I will change into a completely different appearance."
"When you call me later, just call me 'Ying Chen.'"
"Remember to conceal yourself when traveling. This is a 'Disappearance Talisman' I often use, which can hide your cultivation and prevent others from tracking you. Remember to carry it with you and activate it."
Chen Ying sent another face with a completely different appearance and a Disappearance Talisman.
"This person..." Li Fan muttered to himself.
To be on the safe side, Li Fan spent three thousand contribution points in the Tianxuan Mirror to buy a random teleportation necklace.
Then he headed straight to the Transmission Square.
After scanning the area, he saw the transformed Chen Ying.
Approaching him, Li Fan arched his hand, "Is it Fellow Daoist Ying Chen?"
Chen Ying smiled slightly, "Exactly! There's no time to waste; let's set off. Please lead the way!"
Li Fan nodded, and without hesitation, he went in front of the Mist Crow statue in Transmission Square.
Activating the transmission array, the two of them arrived at Mist Crow Island.
The black-robed guardian on the island still had a cold expression.
Ignoring him, the two went straight to the ruins under Li Fan's guidance.
"Senior, this is the place." After reaching their destination, Li Fan informed Chen Ying.
At the same time, he moved to the side, on high alert.
Chen Ying surveyed the continuous ruins at the bottom of the sea, squinting his eyes.
Then, a misty and ethereal scene, like countless spirit plants growing, enveloped his body.
Under the cover of the extraordinary vision, Li Fan felt an omnipresent but elusive pressure, making him increasingly nervous. The Cong Yun Sea Sword, Heaven Overturning Palm, and random teleportation necklace were all ready to be unleashed.
After a while, Chen Ying retracted the extraordinary vision.
Shaking his head, he said, "Not here, it should be another place."
Li Fan instantly breathed a sigh of relief, "That place is not far from here, at the bottom of the deep valley in the sea."
Li Fan continued leading the way.
It didn't take long for the two to reach their destination.
Li Fan remained on high alert, moving to the side, while Chen Ying released the extraordinary vision again and carefully sensed it.
After a long time, Chen Ying showed a joyful expression.
"Well done, it's right here!"
"Previously, an extremely cold force descended here. The Blue Blood Coral only absorbed a slight trace of it, and its efficacy increased so much!"
Chen Ying closed his eyes slightly, his expression intoxicated.
"Just by sensing this residual icy force, one can feel an unparalleled tranquility and peace in the heart."
"All distracting thoughts are eliminated."
"Such perfection, it seems to have been directly derived from the laws of heaven and earth."
"Wonderful, wonderful."
...
While Chen Ying was talking, he stood still as if entering a state of enlightenment.
Seeing him describe this place so mysteriously, Li Fan couldn't help but carefully comprehend it.
However, just like before, no matter how he tried, he couldn't sense anything special about this place.
"Ice-cold energy, dispelling distracting thoughts, the derivation of laws..."
Li Fan muttered to himself, suddenly realizing something.
His expression became strange.
He recalled the scene when he obtained this Blue Blood Coral.
A large octopus greedily clung to the Blue Blood Coral.
Countless tentacles entwined the coral, holding onto it tightly.
Any creature daring to approach would provoke the octopus's angry attacks.
At that time, in order not to damage this treasure worth three thousand contribution points, Li Fan used Insect Binding to restrain the enraged octopus. However, he did not choose to use the Cong Yun Sea Sword or Heaven Overturning Palm. Instead, he summoned the Azure Flame Illusionary Spirit and froze it into an ice sculpture, then effortlessly shattered it.
The octopus ice sculpture turned into countless fragments, disappearing on the seabed.
Li Fan then casually collected the Blue Blood Coral.
So...
The "cold force" that Chen Ying mentioned, which enhanced the efficacy of the Blue Blood Coral, could it be the Azure Flame Illusionary Spirit?
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Li Fan couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
No wonder, no matter how he investigated, he couldn't find anything special.
It turns out he had created a misunderstanding.
He thought he might encounter some great opportunity.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity turned out to be himself.
As his doubts dissipated, Li Fan looked at Chen Ying, who was comprehending in a carefree manner, without any defense.
He felt somewhat strange in his heart.
If this person is cautious, why would he cultivate in front of other cultivators like this?
Even if Li Fan appeared to be an ordinary late Foundation Establishment cultivator on the surface and couldn't pose a substantial threat to him, having the cultivation process interrupted would still be troublesome.
However, Chen Ying didn't care at all.
He had been quite cautious before, changing his appearance and concealing his name.
Li Fan even thought he might be planning to take action in some remote place, secretly making a move on Li Fan.
As a result, it turned out to be a false alarm.
Nevertheless, despite this observation, Li Fan remained vigilant.
He was still prepared to use his two powerful techniques and the teleportation item at any time.
He was afraid that the person's surface image was just a disguise.
Like this, more than half a day passed, and Chen Ying finally awakened from his enlightenment.
His eyes sparkled, his spirit surged, and joy overflowed in his words.
He exclaimed, "Excellent! With this realization, my exploration of the Fallen Immortal Realm will become more profound!"
Li Fan, on the side, listened and felt something stir in his heart.
"The Fallen Immortal Realm? Is that the secret realm he mentioned before?"
Chen Ying gradually retracted his aura, looking at Li Fan, who seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance to avoid disturbing his cultivation.
There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
