Chapter 1193: Star Sea Dark Encounter

This was clearly a top secret of the Myriad Immortals Alliance.

It was deeply hidden. Even with a portion of the Grand Square Array of Primordial Chaos already repaired, the Boundless Mirror found it exceptionally difficult to locate. They also had to be careful not to be discovered by the Celestial Mirror. During the continuous search, the Boundless Mirror gradually became overloaded. The mirror began to shake violently, and faint cracks even appeared on its surface.

Sun Luyuan's eyes were bloodshot from watching, and he wanted to put away the Celestial Mirror multiple times. However, the firm resolve transmitted by Sun Luyao always stopped him.

"Brother, I can hold on a bit longer.""I've found clues; we can't let all our efforts go to waste!""Brother, I can do this!"

Listening to Sun Luyao's almost uncontrollable voice of pain, the thought that had just formed in Sun Luyuan's mind gradually solidified. Time seemed to pass incredibly slowly. Sun Luyuan felt as if a knife was twisting in his heart and was on pins and needles. Beyond worrying that his brother wouldn't be able to hold on and that everything would be lost, he also feared being discovered by the Celestial Mirror.

Finally, the Boundless Mirror voluntarily severed the devouring black light. The peculiar small mirror couldn't even remain suspended and crashed to the ground with a clang. Sun Luyuan quickly took out the reserve essence blood and poured it in. After a while, the Boundless Mirror shakily recovered slightly.

"How is it..." Sun Luyuan almost dared not ask."Brother, I did not fail you."

Fortunately, his brother did not disappoint him. The moment he heard those four words, Sun Luyuan felt a great sense of relief. After examining the top-secret information his brother had uncovered, his expression continually shifted.

"Fu's suspicions were correct; Cang has indeed been turned and controlled.""Weidu...""It seems the internal workings of the Mirror Keepers are more complex than we imagined," Sun Luyao's shadowy form said weakly. "Brother, our Sun family is still too weak. The slightest carelessness could shatter us to pieces."

"Don't worry. Leave the rest to me," Sun Luyuan said gravely.

"Oh, brother. Can I keep the Celestial Mirror this time?" Just as Sun Luyuan was preparing to leave, he suddenly heard Sun Luyao say this.

Sun Luyuan couldn't help but hesitate.

"Don't worry, brother. I haven't lost control. In fact, after the recent extreme explorations, I don't know why, but my control over the Boundless Mirror has deepened. I thought I could try a few more times when I have the spare energy. It will become even easier to use in the future..."

Ultimately, Sun Luyuan was persuaded by his brother's sincere words. And his state was indeed much better than when he lost control after previous explorations. So, after reiterating a few instructions, he still left the Celestial Mirror behind.

Not long after Sun Luyuan hastily departed, a phantom figure floated out of the Boundless Mirror and entered the Celestial Mirror. Moments later, flashes of light continuously flickered. A large quantity of materials for nourishing the spirit were being purchased. Li Fan's clone eagerly devoured them, and his previously weakened state rapidly reversed. Possessing the Celestial Mirror's origin, he could completely, and unbeknownst to anyone, steal a large amount of materials through the small mirror.

At this moment, Sun Luyao's figure also floated out. He looked at Li Fan, filled with dread. These spirit-nourishing treasures were useless to him. However, the casual guidance from the senior before him made his integration with the Boundless Mirror much smoother. One must know, this was something he and his brother had painstakingly tried to achieve for hundreds of years without success. The terrifying power of this senior was beyond doubt. In Sun Luyao's eyes, he was far more terrifying than any Mirror Keeper. His own surrender seemed only natural.

"Brother, you can understand me, can't you?" Sun Luyao thought silently. The pain he had displayed earlier in front of Sun Luyuan was, of course, all an act. Although there were some twists and turns, it was ultimately without danger. However, the news that the senior had painstakingly sought out left him somewhat puzzled.

"Sixteen cultivators, summoned by the Dharma Transmitter, left Xuanhuang and went beyond the heavens." To Sun Luyao, there was nothing particularly remarkable about this. But in Li Fan's eyes, the meaning was vastly different.

As his clone slowly recovered, Li Fan pondered the matter. "The Dharma Transmitter would actually, for the first time ever, summon cultivators to leave the Xuanhuang Realm?""What's going on?""Given his power, even if these sixteen individuals were cultivated by the Immortal Alliance into Dao Harmonizers in a short period, they would still be mere ants.""Nor were they chosen from the Immortal Alliance's existing Dao Harmonizers."

Li Fan recalled the "nail," Yang Fei, whom he had arranged. There seemed to be nothing particularly special about him. Li Fan wasn't worried that Yang Fei would expose himself if he actually met the Dharma Transmitter, because Yang Fei himself didn't even know he was a spy for the Great Qitian Dynasty. Because Yang Fei was indeed a cultivator of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, but just before participating in the Immortal Alliance Grand Examination, he happened to befriend a pair of friends who had extensively studied the exam, and they simply guessed a few questions correctly.

"It's certain that the Dharma Transmitter summoning these sixteen cultivators is connected to the echoing starlight that shook the Xuanhuang Realm.""I just don't know what the Dharma Transmitter encountered that he would need these sixteen cultivators?""Furthermore, the echoing starlight near the Immortal Ruins has now disappeared. How would this group of people leave the Xuanhuang Realm now?"

This matter was too secretive; even the records in the Celestial Mirror were sparse. "It's a pity my Saint Embryo is far on the other side of the Star Sea; otherwise, I could follow them and investigate."

Thinking of this, Li Fan's thoughts suddenly paused slightly. He suddenly realized that the Dharma Transmitter's purpose in the Darkest Star Sea was to collect fragments from various cultivation realms. And the location of his Saint Embryo was the Sea of Relics, where the mysterious echoing starlight attracted and gathered all the cultivators' relics in the Star Sea.

"If relics gather there, then are fragments of cultivation realms also doing so?""Beyond the Sea of Relics, does another Sea of Fragmented Realms exist?"

On the other side of the Star Sea, Li Fan's Saint Embryo, lurking hidden outside the Mysterious Immortal Ark, suddenly opened its eyes. His gaze seemed to pierce through endless ruins and darkness, looking deep into the Sea of Relics.

"Could it be that I am very close to the Dharma Transmitter right now?" Li Fan couldn't help but wonder. "If my conjecture is correct, then by waiting here, I might even be able to await the sixteen cultivators from the Myriad Immortals Alliance.""Thinking further, an existence as powerful as the Dharma Transmitter, having wandered the Darkest Star Sea for thousands of years, couldn't possibly be unaware of the Immortal Ark civilization hidden here. Perhaps they've already had dealings.""It's just that the Immortal Ark might not know the Dharma Transmitter's true identity."

Although the Immortal Ark civilization appears incredibly weak based on current information, to have endured for ten millennia in the Darkest Star Sea, and even dabbled in the power of True Immortal Seal Script... The Immortal Ark's top-tier power definitely should not be underestimated.

"Zhao Xian's strength is too low, and his knowledge of the Immortal Ark's past is limited.""It seems some 'forcing growth' will be necessary."
