Chapter 1788: Chapter 1448 Ten Thousand Stars Tomb Swallows Bone_2

Only some almost negligible black dots flew out from the fragmented bodies of the death silence world, drifting towards Qian Ruochang along the giant stone pillar.

Li Fan looked at these black dots, a sense of deja vu rising spontaneously.

They were extremely similar to the black gas produced after the True Immortal Flesh was decomposed by [Luo Fanchen]!

However, Li Fan remained composed, pretending not to know the danger, approaching curiously for a closer look.

Upon closer observation, Li Fan noticed the differences between these black dots and the black gas.

The black gas is a precursor to the Path-obliterating Calamity. Anyone whose strength reaches a certain realm would feel an inexplicable sense of crisis upon beholding it.

But the black dots before him…

Li Fan observed for a long time, only feeling some nausea and discomfort, without any ominous forewarning.

What Qian Ruochang said next gave Li Fan the answer.

“These can be regarded as the corpses of the Immortal Cultivation World.”

“Just like when a person dies, the flesh quickly returns to Heaven and Earth, leaving only the bones for eternity.”

“These black dots are the most elemental, purest part, like the World Bone. They won’t remain in the world for long, so you must hurry and gather them.” Qian Ruochang said, stretching out the stone pillar, constantly stirring.

In a short time, fifteen black dots were collected.

What seemed like a simple action seemed to consume a lot of energy. Qian Ruochang was already panting heavily, sweating profusely.

He had to stop and rest.

“You, eat it.”

Qian Ruochang levitated one of the black dots towards Dao Yan.

Dao Yan’s expression changed slightly, but without much hesitation. Under everyone’s astonished gaze, he forced himself to endure the discomfort and swallowed the World Bone.

From Dao Yan’s expression, one could tell how torturous it was to swallow the World Bone whole.

However, once ingested, the effect was immediately apparent.

“Why do I feel, Brother Dao, you…”

“Have become [faint]?”

“Indeed, I feel something [blurry].”

“If you hadn’t reminded me, I might have ignored Brother Dao altogether! Although he’s standing right here, it’s as if he doesn’t exist!”

Everyone noticed the anomaly, exclaiming in amazement.

Only then did Qian Ruochang smile and say, “This World Bone, is the foundational stone derived from the Immortal Cultivation World. It is the most fundamental mechanism of the world, closest to the Tao itself. After you swallow it, before the World Bone completely returns to Heaven and Earth, influenced by its power, you become like ice melting into water, blending into the world.”

“As [humans], your nature is overshadowed by the [world]. In normal sensory forms, it naturally becomes difficult to discern.”

Qian Ruochang distributed the World Bone to everyone according to the pre-determined examination order.

Li Fan also received it early and swallowed it.

The moment the black dot was absorbed, various illusions appeared before Li Fan. Those were the scenes the black dot’s Immortal Cultivation World experienced in its lifetime.

In the Lower Realm Star Sea, it’s nothing special.

The originally thriving world suddenly saw a fissure appear in the sky one day.

Several figures emerged from within.

The immense pressure caused nine out of ten living beings in the world to perish instantly.

And those figures had no intention of restraining their own aura. Or rather, they didn’t have the time to care about these “trivial matters.”

They themselves…

Were also fleeing in panic.

Seventeen figures in total shot out in succession from the fissure.

Only when the last one forcibly closed the fissure did this tribulation end.

He seemed confused, somewhat bewildered in his panic.

As his gaze swept over the Immortal Cultivation World below, ravaged by True Immortal might, he shook his head slightly.

With a gentle wave, he wiped out all surviving living beings from the ground.

Not even the corpses remained.

The Immortal Cultivation World itself couldn’t withstand such pressure and shattered, disintegrated.

As if having done something insignificant, that last figure drifted away.

…

Li Fan awoke from the illusion.

This was one of the sources of the Ten Thousand Stars Tomb, composed of many world corpses.

“The Lower Realm Star Sea is not a place for Fairies to inhabit. When they were forced to come here, they naturally caused immense impact as mere mortals,” Li Fan felt neither resentment nor rage.

The strong prey on the weak. Not to mention, amidst an apocalyptic tribulation, survival is paramount for the desperate.

As for the rest…

It doesn’t matter.

He sank his mind, feeling the natural changes his body underwent after consuming the World Bone.

Just as Qian Ruochang said, like ice into water.

Leveraging the World Bone’s connection to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, he slowly “dissolved” into this starry sky.

“If I communicate with the Star Sea at this moment, I fear I would effectively connect with the Star Sea Origin Consciousness without needing the Taija Divine Art.”

“Besides, I also feel a closer bond with the Dao Network…”

In Li Fan’s divine sense, the micro Dao Network shimmered brightly.

Originally just a phantom projection, now part of it seemed to possess actual substance.

Even though just a small part, it almost brought qualitative change.

But for now, with others around, especially with the presumed near-Nameless Realm presence of Qian Ruochang, Li Fan refrained from studying it closely.

“What that [Wu] Immortal realized, the so-called causal connection, is merely targeted at the living beings in the world. He hasn’t yet transcended, hence unable to sever the ties with Heaven and Earth. By leveraging the World Bone, merging into the Tao, we can greatly reduce the possibility of being discovered by him.” Qian Ruochang said, swallowing a World Bone himself.

Having gathered for the new Immortal Hunt members completely, he did not stop.

Instead, he continued to explore deeper into the Myriad Stars Cemetery.

“Hiding oneself is only the first step in hunting.”

“The second, is to prepare traps and weapons capable of severely hurting or even killing the prey.” Qian Ruochang’s voice had a hint of somberness.

“True Immortals, cultivating the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, seek transcendence. The best weapon against them is something that can harm or disrupt the Dao!”

…

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Hunters present changed colors.

Li Fan thought Qian Ruochang was about to talk about [Path-obliterating Calamity].

Unexpectedly, it was about something else.

He saw Qian Ruochang change his tone: “However, our Dao Network still relies on the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Engaging in one thousand enemy-damaging, eight hundred self-injuring affairs needs utmost caution. But we can find similar substitutes from this Myriad Stars Cemetery.”

“As mentioned, in the Ten Thousand Stars Tomb, Immortal Cultivation World corpses have their flesh completely transformed, returned to Heaven and Earth, leaving only the bones.”

“This catalytic, devouring power of the Immortal Cultivation World’s flesh is the weapon we need!”

“The Tao, from top to bottom, is indeed one. Yet the World of Mortal Cultivation still holds part of the Tao.”

———–

Will quickly revert.

After gathering completely for the new Immortal Hunts, he didn’t stop.

Instead, continued to explore deeper into the Myriad Stars Cemetery.
