Chapter 382: Chaos of the Five Elements

My Longevity Simulation

“Is this for secrecy?”

Li Fan glanced at Huangfu Song and found him looking nonchalant as usual.

Tapping the table happily, he finished the Ling Tea that had just emerged.

“The Ling Tea of the Ten Thousand Immortals, this is quite something. It’s said to be an ancient formula passed down from ancient times. After drinking it, there will be a slight increase in spiritual soul.”

“One cup per person limit, why not taste it, young friend?”

With the Ling Tea in his stomach, Huangfu Song patted his belly, took a deep breath, and beckoned to Li Fan.

Following Huangfu Song’s lead, Li Fan drank the Ten Thousand Immortals Ling Tea in front of him.

Compared to the effect of the Xuanhuang Heart Refinement Mantra, it was not in the least inferior.

“What a treasure!” But he still showed great joy.

Just as he put down his teacup, Li Fan felt the Dust Crossing Boat beneath him sway slightly, and it slowly came to a stop.

“Could it be that something happened?” Li Fan looked somewhat surprised as he glanced at Huangfu Song, who was slowly getting up.

“Don’t just sit there, we should have arrived at the Five Elements Grand Cave.” Huangfu Song said.

“So fast?” Li Fan was slightly stunned, then inevitably somewhat surprised.

It should be noted that in his perception, it had only been a moment since they departed.

Li Fan was also well aware of the maximum speed of the Dust Crossing Boat.

So, does this mean that the Five Elements Grand Cave is not far from the Zhu Pi City?

As if sensing Li Fan’s thoughts, Huangfu Song smiled and said, “Forget it. This Dust Crossing Boat not only shields our perception of the external space but also affects our perception of time.”

“Do you think it’s only been half a day?”

“In fact, it could have been seven or eight days.”

“Of course, it’s also possible that it’s only the time you perceived.”

“It’s to keep you guessing.”

“After the previous incident with the Purple Dome Immortal, the alliance has become more cautious.”

As Huangfu Song shook his head, he walked towards the deck.

“Affecting the perception of time passing.” Li Fan felt a sinking feeling. This was his first encounter with time-related techniques within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

“But it could also be just a simple distortion of perception.”

Suppressing his thoughts, Li Fan followed Huangfu Song onto the deck.

Stepping out of the cabin, he was met with an almost substantial water attribute spiritual energy, unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Having spent years in the Cong Yun Sea and having once cultivated with the Cang Hai Pearl, Li Fan was particularly sensitive to water attribute spiritual energy.

So he felt more and more horrified.

“This should be the water attribute cave of the Five Elements Grand Cave? It’s like an enlarged version of the Concentrated Cang Hai Pearl.”

Li Fan subconsciously absorbed and refined the spiritual energy, gaining a clearer understanding of the purity of the spiritual energy here.

But looking around, Li Fan found that the surrounding cultivators, including Huangfu Song, all raised their heads, gazing up at the sky.

Their faces were filled with indescribable shock.

Li Fan also followed suit and looked up.

At this moment, where the Dust Crossing Boat was located, was a perfectly smooth boundary line.

Below was the vast and endless blue water world without boundaries.

Above was a giant tree rooted in the sky, with countless branches extending to connect with the water world, hanging upside down.

Each branch was as broad as a plain in the mortal world.

You could vaguely see many vegetation growing on it.

Some tree trunks even had continuous forests of trees again.

“Originally, the water attribute cave was simply a blue water world.”

“But not long ago, the scene of the wood attribute cave suddenly appeared outside the water world.”

“The two began to gradually merge. This is the phenomenon of the convergence of the Five Elements.”

At this moment, Qi Buyi suddenly appeared, also looking up at the magnificent scene in the sky, explaining to everyone.

“The convergence of the Five Elements. So, is there any sign of the invasion of the metal attribute cave below the water world?” A cultivator on the boat couldn’t help but ask.

Qi Buyi nodded: “Underneath the endless water layer, you can indeed see endless golden light. However, it is not the invasion of the metal attribute cave.”

“It is the water attribute cave invading the metal attribute cave.”

“Just like the wood attribute cave above our heads.”

“Gold generates water, water generates wood. But now it’s the other way around?” Huangfu Song interjected.

“So in the end…”

After saying this, Huangfu Song suddenly became shocked, staring blankly at Qi Buyi.

“It’s not as simple as you imagine.” Qi Buyi walked to the side of the Dust Crossing Boat, enveloping a mass of water with spiritual power and demonstrating it to everyone.

“Before the convergence of the Five Elements, the water quality in the water attribute cave here was extremely pure. But now…”

Qi Buyi flicked a spark into the water mass.

Something astonishing happened that amazed everyone present.

The total volume of the water could obviously extinguish the spark flicked by Qi Buyi.

But after encountering the spark, it unexpectedly started burning fiercely.

Under the gaze of everyone, it burned brighter and brighter.

Eventually, it formed a lump of black scorched earth.

Li Fan could see clearly that this bizarre phenomenon was not caused by the strength of the spark.

It was because the “water” had changed its nature.

It had become flammable.

“Is this still water?”

“Wait, there’s so much water in this cave. If it were all ignited at once, what would happen?”

Everyone on the Dust Crossing Boat looked at each other, deeply concerned.

Qi Buyi seemed to perceive everyone’s worry and said, “The changes you see only occur when the water is taken out separately.”

“When it exists as a whole within the entire cave, it won’t be ignited and turn into earth.”

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“As for why this phenomenon occurs, there is currently no clear answer.”

“That’s also why we’re here.”

“The abnormalities occurring in this cave are different from the usual convergence of the Five Elements.”

“The alliance is very interested in this. According to previous estimates, the convergence of the Five Elements will be completed within five years at most.”

“And with the process accelerating, this number is likely to decrease significantly.”

“What we need to do is to ensure that before the complete convergence of the Five Elements, the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Formation covering the Five Elements Grand Cave is completed.”

“In addition to the group of pioneers who have already arrived, there will be reinforcements arriving one after another.”

“We are part of it. Mainly responsible for the coverage area of the water attribute cave.”

Qi Buyi explained the purpose of this mission very professionally to everyone.

“Even though it’s just a cave, it’s extremely vast.”

“It’s even larger than the territory of a province in our Xuanhuang Realm.”

“Most areas here have not yet set up teleportation arrays. Relying solely on flying is too slow.”

“For the convenience of future work, the alliance has prepared some special tools for you.”

With that, Qi Buyi took out a black-gold droplet-shaped object and displayed it in front of everyone.

“This is the Heavenly Escape Shuttle, a flying treasure specially crafted by the alliance.”

“Speed…”

“Extremely fast.”
