NOVPUB"If there were no outsiders to break this cycle, it might only stop completely when the power that nourishes soul bodies in the Yellow River is entirely dissipated."
"However, I sense that the aura here is still very intense. If I wasn’t protected by the Seven-color Divine Light, I’m afraid I couldn’t stay here for long,"
"Such a level of power..."
"Surely it can last more than just twenty or thirty years, right?"
A trace of doubt surfaced in Li Fan’s mind.
"What was it that disrupted the peace of the Yin Soul Realm and released the trillions of soul bodies from the Yellow Spring?"
"Unless it’s a cultivator who, like me, has stumbled into this place by mistake."
"Or perhaps..."
In Li Fan’s spirit consciousness, the skull he had suppressed not long ago flashed into mind.
"Could that person still be alive?"
A thought suddenly emerged.
It wasn’t nonsensical chatter borne of fright from the strange phenomena here for Li Fan.
Instead, this Yin Soul Realm was so remote that even with his current speed, he would have to fly continuously for over a month.
The likelihood of someone wandering here by mistake without a specific goal was indeed slim.
And looking at that skull, although only the head remained,
The black gold pattern on the cranium still existed despite the erosion of the grey mold spot.
"The black gold pattern on the front is indestructible, while the grey mold spot breeds inside the skull."
"Perhaps this indicates that the two powers are in equilibrium, with neither able to overcome the other."
Recalling the appearance of that mysterious skull, Li Fan increasingly felt his speculation could very well be true.
"If it were fully eroded, it should have turned to dust just like many other things in the Yin Soul Realm."
"Since the skull is still here, it means it hasn’t truly died."
In the Immortal Cultivation World, there are countless secret techniques, and cultivators from the Xuanhuang World are capable of ensuring their Cave Heavens never perish and they themselves achieve immortality.
If that mysterious skull could resurrect itself using the black gold pattern, it wouldn’t be unfathomable.
"Indeed, it’s very dangerous. But it’s also an opportunity."
"To understand what’s really happening in the other Immortal Cultivation Worlds."
Li Fan’s eyes flickered, and he instantly thought of dozens of ways to utilize it.
However, he also hadn’t forgotten the original purpose of his visit.
"Junior brother, the Splitting Realm Whale can create space out of nothing. These spirit bodies, which it so loves, must be greatly beneficial to it. Would you like to try it too?"
Tianyang promptly shook his head.
"These are not human living souls. They just look similar,"
"These spirit bodies are the crystallizations of the power of this Yellow Spring," Li Fan explained as he saw the other’s reluctance.
Tianyang felt a bit better.
He captured an old adult soul that had been soaked in the Yellow Spring Water for so long, its original appearance was unrecognizable.
Tianyang activated his spiritual power to absorb it.
A moment later, his eyes brightened.
"Senior brother, I understand now why those giant whales like eating them," Tianyang said, somewhat excited.
"This Small World originated from this place at the Yellow Spring. It’s like the fruit born from a tree."
"There are rare powers of various laws in the Yellow Spring Water. The most abundant among them is the power to create and open space."
"Though it’s just on the level of a Small World, it’s indeed useful to me."
Tianyang said a lot in one breath and transmitted sound to retrieve another spirit body crystallization to absorb.
This time, however, he frowned slightly.
"It’s a pity, it seems to have become a bit distorted due to the influence of the grey mold spot."
"Taking just one is enough, more wouldn’t benefit," Tianyang concluded.
Li Fan nodded slightly.
His divine sense swept over and found a spirit body crystallization that was quite old.
After absorbing it, Li Fan’s spirit consciousness was instantly filled with images.
Yellow Spring Water flowed in a circle.
At each fixed node, a trace of power would remain.
As years passed, this power accumulated more and more.
Eventually, it blossomed and bore fruit, forming a circle of nine "worlds."
Who knows how much time passed before life began to emerge in these worlds.
Civilizations started to appear.
After dying, the life forms in these worlds would return to the Yellow Spring. Swept along by the flowing waters, they would head to other worlds to experience new lives.
The days of tranquility continued until this day...
A golden chain slashed through the sky dome, arriving from the distant void.
The chain spread rapidly, tightly coiling and locking the entire Yellow Spring World in its grasp.
And then...
Under the immense pull, the Yellow Spring World roared continuously.
Mountains and rivers collapsed as if it were the apocalypse.
But the chain had no intention of relaxing its hold.
Moreover, sacred golden energy kept surging from it.
It sharply severed the connection between the Yellow Spring World and space itself, as if it was being pulled to some place.
This was a mighty force far surpassing that of the Yellow Spring World.
With no chance to resist, it was dragged through the void, not knowing how long it had moved forward before it finally stabilized. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
In the end, under the extreme pulling and tearing, the Yellow Spring World fragmented. Only one of the nine worlds remained, carried along with the Yellow Spring to this unfamiliar starry sky.
...
The images in his spirit consciousness slowly faded away.
A different light burst forth from Li Fan’s eyes.
He had known for a long time that in ancient times, the Xuanhuang World possessed an array technique of miraculous capabilities.
It could capture distant cave heavens and worlds from the void.
It could even open spatial pathways and directly engage in war between realms.
Most of the numerous cave heavens and Small Worlds in the Xuanhuang World today came from this very method.
However, since Mystic Sky Sect’s time and the Ten Great Immortal Sects taking charge, this array seemed to have been damaged.
Its reputation faded, as if it had disappeared into the river of history.
Now, through the remnants of the heavenly memories in the Yin Soul Realm, he was fortunate enough to witness the might of this ancient array in action.
Li Fan’s heart trembled.
"Traversing the void, golden chains seizing the enemy..."
"How formidable is this?"
Li Fan, who now could be considered a master of array techniques.
With the Final Separation Disk in hand, it would be hard to find someone in the entire Xuanhuang World with a higher level of array expertise than him.
Even so, it was difficult for him to imagine how one could possibly construct such an imposing array.
"Plucking stars and grasping the moon, this must be the method of a True Immortal, right?"
Li Fan couldn’t help but think.
Moreover, from the fleeting glimpse of the Yellow Spring’s residual thoughts, the golden chain that Li Fan saw.
It seemed to bear some resemblance to the one he had seen in the Immortal Ruins, used to lock the remains of a True Immortal.
"Could there be any connection between them?"
"That True Immortal just happened to be trapped at the passage between the mortal and the Immortal Cultivation World in Xuanhuang World. It shouldn’t be mere coincidence."
"When the path to immortality was not yet severed, there was still contact between the Immortal Cultivation World and Immortal World."
"If there could be Immortal Instruments to support, then it was also possible to help construct the array."
Li Fan’s mind was abuzz with thoughts.
Tianyang, seeing his senior brother motionless for a long time, thought something had happened.
Only after sending a telepathic inquiry did he manage to rouse Li Fan.
"Junior fellow disciple, did you see the vision of the golden chains breaking through the sky?"
Li Fan couldn’t help but ask.
