Chapter 1187: Infiltrating the Immortal Ark Alone

“It is the character for [Hunger]…”

Li Fan’s clone quickly made his judgment based on the subtle fluctuation coming from the Dao Integration cultivator on the Immortal Ark not far away.

He did not approach closely but stayed inside the wooden house to observe.

“Elder Yan…” Elder Gou, who usually kept a straight face, was now nodding and bowing with extreme flattery.

The crowd in the valley inwardly complained but did not dare show it. They even lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at this Dao Integration cultivator before them.

After all, in the eyes of mortals, Dao Integration cultivators were almost no different from the legendary immortals.

“Gou Liang, I heard that some time ago, five people died in succession in Sin-Suppressing Valley?” Elder Yan asked in a deep voice.

Gou Liang’s body trembled. He repeatedly responded: “Indeed, that happened. But it was just those few sinners who had bad luck. They only went out to work two or three times before their condition worsened and they died. The Sin Suppression Valley itself had no issues…”

“Hmph! What luck…” A cold light flashed in Elder Yan’s eyes. He did not explain further.

“Indeed, this place has already been contaminated.”

Elder Yan’s expression instantly darkened. A speck of starlight appeared at his fingertip, and then he pointed from afar toward the residential area of Sin Suppression Valley where Li Fan’s clone was located.

Endless light and heat destroyed everything within range.

…

Outside the Immortal Ark.

Holy Embryo Li Fan, who was hiding and in closed-door cultivation to comprehend, slightly raised his head.

“As expected of a civilization that has survived in the Darkest Star Sea for so long. They are truly this cautious.”

“It seems that if I want to infiltrate, I must first solve the problem of myself being a major source of contamination. Otherwise, even if I hide well, causing large numbers of people around me to die will still lead to exposure.”

“My divine soul has stayed in the Darkest Star Sea for too long. The accumulated damage is difficult to reverse. I still need to sever a strand of clone to infiltrate. With the previous experience, I can proceed like this…”

For the next full two months, no one from the Immortal Ark came out to collect world extinction relics.

But they clearly could not give up on the nearly endless relics outside.

Thus, Li Fan finally waited for a new collection team.

Following previous experience, Li Fan’s clone mixed in with the relics and entered the Immortal Ark along with them.

However, this time the Immortal Ark’s handling of the relics was obviously much more cautious. While dealing with the relics, the Immortal Ark cultivators always kept their armor on. After transporting the relics to a sealed space and leaving, a blurry talisman projection appeared above the space.

“This is…”

The talisman emitted a faint glow, illuminating the dozen or so relics below.

Although Li Fan’s clone was also bathed in the light, he was not affected in any way.

He simply watched as the power of True Immortal Seal Script on the surrounding relics, which was about to dissipate, was drawn into the talisman projection above through this dreamlike glow.

Li Fan’s clone even felt that the various mysterious forces swirling around him were being drawn away by the talisman.

Before long, the power attached to the dozen or so relics here completely disappeared. They truly became worthless garbage in the Star Sea.

The talisman flickered and left this space.

“The Immortal Ark’s utilization of the power of True Immortal Seal Script is actually a bit higher than I imagined.”

This space was now completely sealed, and Li Fan’s clone could not escape. However, he was not anxious.

These remaining “garbage” would definitely be handled by someone.

Just as Li Fan expected, two days later, two Qi Condensation stage cultivators walked in under the lead of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

“Move all these things onto the ship.”

“Be careful. Although the world extinction power on these items is gone, they are still genuine antiques. The fact that they could remain in the Star Sea for so long shows that their materials themselves are quite extraordinary. Send them all to the Star Forging Workshop. Perhaps they can still be put to some use.” The Foundation Establishment cultivator instructed.

Both Qi Condensation cultivators were only fifteen or sixteen years old. They looked completely inexperienced with the world.

Li Fan’s clone thought for a moment and attached himself to one of them.

Following the three, they left the sealed space, boarded a small flying boat, and arrived at the so-called Star Forging Workshop.

It was a closed circular building constructed from an unknown white metal.

At the center of the ring was a blazing fireball.

The terrifying heat waves constantly churning on the surface of the fireball spoke of the immense energy contained within it.

One could vaguely see strands of flames being continuously drawn into small holes in the circular building.

The one responsible for receiving them in the Star Forging Workshop was not an ordinary human.

Instead, it was a strange half-human, half-beast existence with a crimson body, two horns on its head, and a long tail dragging behind it.

The three seemed extremely afraid of it. After putting down the items, they hurriedly drove the flying boat away.

After some trouble, they finally returned to their residence.

It was located within the Academy of Dao Attainment.

It was also a separate continent floating in the void.

The academy towered high, piercing straight into the clouds.

They arrived at the lower level of the academy to report back to their master.

Their master was a Nascent Soul cultivator named Zhao Wuji, whose hair had already turned white.

Seeing the three return, he put away the book-type artifact he was reading and asked with a kindly expression: “Have you finished handling everything?”

The three lowered their heads and replied: “Reporting to Master, everything has been handled properly.”

“Do you know why I specifically made you run this errand?” Zhao Wuji asked again.

All three were stunned and did not know how to answer.

“Not long ago, Sin Suppression Valley was razed to the ground. All the survivors in the valley were taken away and placed under isolation for observation. It is said that the cause was that the team collecting relics from Sin Suppression Valley did not follow proper procedures, causing the spread of world extinction power.”

“Heh…”

“This set of procedures was established by the Celestial Pivot Court and has been followed for the past thousand years. Even if occasional oversights occurred, they never caused major trouble. Yet this time it created such a huge commotion.” Zhao Wuji suddenly stopped speaking.

At this moment, the Foundation Establishment disciple among the three suddenly understood: “Master means that the Severed Immortal Tower is taking this opportunity to cause trouble?”

“Correct.” Zhao Wuji showed an expression of approval. “And it is not just Sin Suppression Valley. Next, all areas under the Celestial Pivot Court’s influence within the Immortal Boat will face attacks from the Severed Immortal Tower.”

“The Celestial Pivot Court has held power for too long, and those who covet leadership of the Immortal Ark have also waited long enough.”

Zhao Wuji sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji’s three disciples showed different expressions.

The Foundation Establishment disciple’s eyes shifted, seemingly calculating something.

Among the two Qi Condensation disciples, one lowered his head, carefully pondering his master’s words.

The other one, the one Li Fan’s clone was attached to, appeared completely unconcerned.

His mind was wandering, as if he was in a daze.
