Chapter 375: Green River Deep Gorge |
It seemed that Li Fan’s extensive knowledge was already taken for granted.
Li Fan could pose such a tricky and peculiar question, and Huangfu Song was not surprised in the least.
Instead, he smirked and retorted, “If you ask me, who should I ask?”
“If you’re really curious, why not experience it yourself later?”
Being teased by Huangfu Song, Li Fan didn’t mind.
From his limited understanding, since the Tianxuan Mirror had a thousand threads of connection with the ancient treasure of the Xuantian Sect, the Xuantian Treasure Mirror, then the Spirit Transformation Stone and the Immortal Stone were very likely the same thing.
Huangfu Song’s words actually hit the nail on the head and were not wrong.
He had used the Immortal Stone in the Fallen Immortal Realm before.
When he sees the Spirit Transformation Stone again later, he will naturally know whether these two are the same thing or not.
Thousands of miles of blazing flames, truly a vast expanse of land.
After flying swiftly for several days on the Dust Crossing Boat, all Li Fan saw was the unchanging desolation of the apocalypse.
Only the scorching heat endured between heaven and earth, with no traces of any other life.
During this journey, there were also occasional bursts of molten fire erupting from the ground suddenly.
Like dark red dragons leaping into the abyss, they stirred up chaos and turmoil in the surrounding space.
Facing such terrifying circumstances, the Dust Crossing Boat had no choice but to detour.
Danger came not only from underground.
Deadly crises could also descend from overhead at any moment.
Irregularly, meteors would suddenly fall from the sky like flowing stars, colliding with the ground and erupting with terrifying energy that devastated everything.
Li Fan once saw a huge fire meteor falling in the distance.
The shockwave it brought along with the scorching fire blew the Dust Crossing Boat like a floating duckweed in the wind, losing control and tumbling incessantly.
“What kind of place is this…”
In the thousands of miles of blazing flames, every step was perilous; a slight carelessness could mean death.
Li Fan, seeing such a dangerous territory for the first time, couldn’t help but feel a bit solemn.
Fortunately, the helmsman Huangfu Song was experienced and had been here before.
After a total of five days, the group finally arrived safely at their destination: the Spirit Transformation Gorge.
Even without Huangfu Song’s notification, Li Fan knew from a distance.
It was simply because the Spirit Transformation Gorge was too conspicuous and unique in the thousands of miles of blazing flames.
A long and winding green ravine abruptly spanned the red earth.
As if an inexplicable scar had appeared, extending deep into the ground.
Along the way, the seemingly destructive molten fire kept spewing and encroaching upon the deep green gorge.
However, in the moment of nearing, everything instantly completed the transformation from red to green.
The molten fire turned into a cyan stream of air, rising high into the sky.
“Be careful. There might be a little turbulence ahead.”
As the Dust Crossing Boat rushed into the Spirit Transformation Gorge, Huangfu Song’s “kind” reminder suddenly sounded in Li Fan’s ears.
Before the words had even settled, the flying Dust Crossing Boat lost power in an instant.
Even the momentum to move forward vanished.
Until it fell to the bottom of the deep gorge.
And Li Fan also felt the powerful aura of annihilation within the Spirit Transformation Gorge, which was no different from an ordinary person.
Instantly, his heart felt as if it had been lifted.
Within the Dust Crossing Boat, intermittent exclamations were heard.
Just as Li Fan almost thought that disaster was imminent.
A powerful stream of air gushed out inexplicably from the bottom of the Spirit Transformation Gorge.
And collided head-on with the falling Dust Crossing Boat.
As if being swept by a gale, the boat shook violently, and its speed gradually slowed down.
When the airflow disappeared, the Dust Crossing Boat also managed to stop precariously.
“Come out, all of you.”
In Huangfu Song’s command, everyone stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck.
“Hahaha, Brother Huangfu! Safe and sound, I see!”
A hearty laughter suddenly rang out, and not long after, a lean man with a bare upper body leaped from below and landed directly on the Dust Crossing Boat.
With a bang, the movement was quite significant.
The entire boat swayed slightly.
“Brother Dongfang! Long time no see!” Huangfu Song’s fat face immediately lit up with a smile. He warmly approached and embraced Dongfang.
“It’s been twenty-three years since we parted ways at the Thousand Pages Forest. Brother Dongfang, you’re still as impressive as ever!”
After the two men released each other, Huangfu Song looked Dongfang up and down, praising him with admiration.
“Not comparable to Brother Huangfu’s continuous cultivation progress, which makes me envious!” Dongfang had no reservations, patting Huangfu Song’s big belly and laughing.
Huangfu Song showed no signs of annoyance: “It’s mutual admiration!”
While the two exchanged pleasantries, Li Fan also observed this renowned cultivator named Dongfang in secret.
From him, Li Fan also didn’t sense any trace of spiritual energy fluctuations.
Just now, when he leaped from the deep gorge below onto the Dust Crossing Boat, it seemed entirely accomplished through his physical body alone.
Although his body seemed somewhat frail, the sharp and distinct muscle lines revealed the explosive strength contained within.
This was the first time Li Fan had encountered someone with such a strong physique.
“Brother Huangfu, rest here for a few days. At most half a month, the grand formation here will be completed.” Dongfang said to Huangfu Song.
After speaking, a strange cry suddenly emanated from his throat.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the sound was somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, the “earth” beneath his feet, where the Dust Crossing Boat was located, began to shake.
A distant and loud roar echoed from the earth.
Subsequently, this piece of land began to move and fly.
Continuing downwards, it plunged deep into the Spirit Transformation Gorge.
“This is…”
“Boundary Rupture Whale?”
Li Fan was slightly startled.
Amidst the exclamations of the people on the boat, he finally saw that what was carrying the Dust Crossing Boat was not land at all.
It was a huge black beast.
From its appearance, it was extremely similar to the Boundary Rupture Whale that Li Fan had seen before, which sealed off mortal worlds.
“The airflow that just prevented the Dust Crossing Boat from crashing seems to have also come from this beast.”
As the giant beast continued to dive deeper, Li Fan observed carefully, lost in thought.
“It’s not a Boundary Rupture Whale, it’s much smaller in size. It just looks similar.”
The Spirit Transformation Gorge seemed bottomless, and even after flying for a long time, the giant beast still hadn’t reached the bottom.
On the cliffs on both sides, many exposed green stones could be seen.
Some cultivators dressed in peculiar clothing were suspended in mid-air.
Holding hammers and nails made of unknown materials, they were mining the Spirit Transformation Stones.
Occasionally, one could also encounter formation masters wearing the standard attire of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, hurriedly passing by the giant beast.
They seemed unaffected by the Spirit Transformation Stones and could still use the spiritual energy within their bodies.
After all, the Spirit Transformation Gorge was not a true bottomless abyss.
After about half a day’s time, with a cheerful roar from the whale-like creature, everyone finally arrived at the bottom of the Spirit Transformation Gorge.
A long river of green traversed the deep gorge.
