Chapter 351: Eternal Immortal Fortress Suppresses the Mystic Domain
In the 9th year of anchoring, Li Fan had once received a merit mission.
To assist the Congyun Sea Yanwu Hall in eliminating the Red-haired Exotic Beasts on Wanlai Island.
Those exotic beasts fed on sound and reproduced extremely quickly.
They could also fuse with each other in groups, forming monsters with strength far exceeding the average individual.
After a fierce battle, the Yanwu squad successfully wiped out a certain number of Red-haired Exotic Beasts and completed the mission smoothly.
Li Fan asked Jiang Zhengji in surprise why they did not completely exterminate the exotic beasts on Wanlai Island.
Jiang Zhengji told him that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Yanwu Hall headquarters had a mission requiring various locations to collect and turn in a certain number of exotic treasures capable of absorbing sound every year.
And the required quantity was increasing more and more.
At the time, Li Fan just felt this mission was quite strange.
Now it seemed it was for dealing with this Chizha Abyss?
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 Chizha Abyss are extremely terrifying; the Alliance has tried various methods, but none could block them."
"Sound-silencing Spells and sound-insulating Materials have no effect whatsoever."
"It wasn't until later, when a Cultivator used a type of stone toad Magic Treasure capable of swallowing and spitting out sound, that we discovered this type of exotic treasure had miraculous effects."
"Perhaps because these exotic treasures lack consciousness or complex thoughts, the demonic sounds that are fatal to Cultivators have their effects greatly reduced on them."
"Truly, one thing conquers another!"
"The Alliance collected many such exotic treasures and finally managed to hold the defense line of the Chizha Abyss. Furthermore, for the sake of safety, we relocated the Eternal Immortal Fortress back to its original position to suppress the Chizha Abyss."
"Then, as we head there this time, is it because something happened to the Eternal Immortal Fortress?" Li Fan asked.
Huangfu Song shook his head: "The Eternal Immortal Fortress has that lord presiding over it, along with the accumulation of many exotic treasures, so the defense line is almost unshakable."
"In fact, this change occurred outside the Chizha Abyss…"
Just as Huangfu Song was about to continue, his expression shifted slightly.
He glanced out the window and instructed: "Get ready, we are about to depart."
"Xue, kid, drink the tea; Transmigration through the White Mist consumes quite a bit of Lifespan. This is a complimentary compensation for you; if you miss it, it's gone."
After speaking, he shifted his position and sat upright on a round seat beneath him.
Seeing this, Li Fan followed suit and sat up straight in his position.
Sensing slightly, in an instant, it felt as if he had stepped into another space, separating from the cabin.
Xue Mu had just finished drinking the spiritual tea when the flying boat suddenly shook violently, causing him to stumble and nearly fall to the ground.
However, this sudden acceleration of the flying boat had no effect on Li Fan and Huangfu Song at all.
Both of them looked at Xue Mu, their faces full of smiles.
The flying boat seemed to be constantly accelerating, and it took Xue Mu quite some effort to awkwardly learn to sit on the round seat.
After Xue Mu was seated, Huangfu Song restrained his smile and continued the previous topic: "Not long ago, the Alliance discovered that outside the Chizha Abyss, not far from this Mystic Domain, there were actually signs of another Mystic Domain about to be born."
"Dealing with the Chizha Abyss is already difficult enough; if these two Mystic Domains were to merge, I truly don't know what would happen."
"Therefore, the Alliance issued an order to relocate this newly appeared Mystic Domain to another empty place."
"By the way, we will build a Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array outside these two Mystic Domains for future monitoring and observation."
"This is the mission for our trip."
Huangfu Song said calmly.
The amount of information in these few sentences was quite large.
"Mystic Domains can be relocated?"
"Mystic Domains can also merge?"
Xue Mu and Li Fan asked simultaneously.
Huangfu Song looked at the two of them and explained: "A Mystic Domain is simply a region where the spatial structure changes after entering a specific area."
"Outside of this region, everything is normal."
"This is the boundary of the Mystic Domain. If one masters the Dao of space, one can naturally cut and move this entire area."
"Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not a difficult task."
"Of course, these things are handled by us old folks; one cannot count on you young people."
"Your task is to assist in building the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array and simply seal off the Mystic Domain."
Li Fan nodded slightly.
Xue Mu, however, was still somewhat puzzled: "Senior Huangfu, if the Mystic Domain can be relocated, then why not move that Chizha Abyss away instead of spending so much effort to suppress it?"
Huangfu Song smiled grimly: "Yes, why indeed?"
Xue Mu was instantly speechless, not knowing how to answer.
He looked deeply at Xue Mu and said slowly: "Who knows what more terrifying things might emerge after moving it? It is better to honestly suppress it. At the very least, we are currently still in a stage where we can deal with it."
"Wait until the tianxuan mirror…"
Just at the moment Huangfu Song's words stopped abruptly, a feeling of hair-raising horror suddenly appeared in Li Fan's heart.
His body felt cold, as if something was slithering over him.
His heart felt empty, as if something was quietly slipping away inadvertently.
Xue Mu's face turned pale, and although Huangfu Song's expression remained normal, the flash of fear in his eyes did not escape Li Fan's notice.
Li Fan opened the Huan Zhen panel and saw that his physiological age of 49 had actually become 50 in such a short time.
Fortunately, his psychological age remained unmoved, allowing him to be fearless.
However, this could not be shown. Li Fan likewise pretended to be very nervous and asked: "Have we already entered the Devouring Yuan White Mist?"
Then he looked out the window.
Sure enough, it was a vast expanse of white, and nothing could be seen.
Huangfu Song nodded: "The location of the Chizha Abyss is not far from the boundary of the White Mist. We will be there soon."
"The closer to the Mystic Domain, the stronger the Devouring Yuan White Mist's ability to devour Lifespan."
"It is fine inside this crossing dust boat. If one were to sneak into the Mystic Domain alone without protection, even a thousand years of Lifespan would not be enough."
"You must remember, within this Mystic Domain, you must carry the black death talisman with you."
"Otherwise, with your mere Golden Core cultivation, I am afraid you would turn into piles of white bones in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
Huangfu Song instructed with a solemn expression, then recalled something and added: "Hmm, this item will be distributed to you collectively before we get off the boat."
"They must also be collected before leaving."
He did not expect this mission location to be so dangerous.
Xue Mu, who was originally not good with words, became even more silent at this moment.
Although he tried to force himself to be calm, he could not hide the panic in his heart.
Li Fan also continued to show an appearance mixed with fear and composure.
Huangfu Song had finished explaining the necessary matters, and at this moment, the cabin fell into silence.
However, the quietness did not last long.
Not long after, a rustling sound suddenly appeared in Li Fan's ears.
"Yi…"
"Tian…"
Li Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the two people beside him.
"Did you two hear anything?"
He asked.
