Chapter 1195: Breaking Through the Star Sea Road

The only thing that can be done is to dissect and analyze these remnant world fragments; perhaps then we can deduce and reconstruct the former state of this Abyssal Star Sea.

However, it is, after all, an existence several levels higher than the ordinary Xuanhuang cultivation world. Even from its remains, one can gain significant benefits.

The aura surrounding Li Fan's Holy Embryo suddenly changed.

Like violently erupting magma, his aura, already at the peak of the Soul Transformation stage, instantly expanded severalfold.

Unfortunately, the Holy Embryo still could not escape the limitations of the connection between the clone and the main body.

It was as if an invisible shackle existed, ruthlessly forcing the surging aura back down.

Li Fan's Holy Embryo groaned, surprisingly coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Inside the small world evolving from the black sword within him, countless black fissures appeared, as if on the verge of collapse.

But in the eyes of Li Fan's Holy Embryo, there was instead a look of excitement.

"Heaven and earth are incomplete, and the Dao principles are weakened."

"Indeed, in this Abyssal Star Sea, it's possible for the clone's cultivation to surpass that of the main body!"

Li Fan's Holy Embryo savored the impact of that instantaneous expansion.

It was like a brute force, forcefully breaking the shackles of heaven and earth.

"The driving force for my breakthrough was still somewhat lacking. It collapsed halfway, and I suffered a backlash."

"If I had accumulated a bit more, I could have broken through in one go, directly shattering that shackle."

Li Fan suddenly recalled the scene where his clone, cultivating the Devouring Heaven and Earth Grand Technique, eventually forcibly broke through the Heaven's Calamity.

"This is what is meant by 'breaking the Dao with force'. In a normal great world, without being a True Immortal, one simply wouldn't possess such immense power. But in the Abyssal Star Sea, with its incomplete heaven and earth, the requirements are greatly lowered."

"After my clone forcibly broke through the bottleneck of Heaven's Calamity previously, it was met with a counterattack from the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, that giant palm. In this Abyssal Star Sea, even this kind of backlash might not occur."

Li Fan's Holy Embryo, like Zhao Xian just now, was filled with a sudden surge of joyful enlightenment.

"From one, infer ten thousand. Since this inherent Dao principle can be broken, can other ones also be achieved?"

"Like a whale fall giving birth to myriad lives, the demise of the Star Sea might be an unprecedented great opportunity in billions of years for the cultivators who ultimately survive."

"Chuan Fa's display of strength, far surpassing ordinary cultivators, besides the fact that all new-method cultivators in the entire Xuanhuang Realm serve as his foundation, might also be inextricably linked to this."

"Having stayed in the Star Sea for ten thousand years, he has probably infinitely approached the legendary Immortal."

The Holy Embryo's insights in the Abyssal Star Sea had a profound impact on Li Fan's main body as well.

The discovery that the incomplete heaven and earth of the great Star Sea world could conversely greatly benefit cultivators caused even his aura to become slightly unstable.

This caught the attention of Elders Hua Yueye and Zhang Xu, both in the Dao Integration stage.

"Fellow Daoist Sun?"

"No worries," Li Fan said, feeling a little ashamed. "I just thought of my beloved wife at home, and my mind wandered."

The two guardians looked strange, then nodded in understanding.

Having restabilized his mind, Li Fan's main body forcibly suppressed his urge to immediately rush out of the Xuanhuang Realm.

"Opportunity and crisis have always coexisted."

"The current Abyssal Star Sea, although a cultivation holy land for cultivators, is undoubtedly also fraught with danger."

"If the Holy Embryo hadn't been an extraordinary foundation of heaven, it would probably have perished halfway. Facing the various strange phenomena in the Star Sea, even my Five Elements Grand Cave Heaven evolved world wouldn't be able to sustain itself for too long."

That invisible void in the dark expanse, and the deadly black plague...

Neither of them are something the current Li Fan can handle.

"Gaining insights through the Holy Embryo is just as effective."

Li Fan could only comfort himself this way.

"The sixteen Dao Integration cultivators from the Myriad Immortals Alliance, if they leave the Xuanhuang Realm, should also gradually discover this secret."

"It's just unknown if they can return alive."

Regarding the fate of these sixteen people, Li Fan held a pessimistic view.

In Chuan Fa's eyes, Xuanhuang Realm cultivators are absolutely just tools.

This summoning should also not escape this fate.

"However, I can try to secretly learn the method of flying out of the Xuanhuang Realm without resonant star energy."

"The appearance of resonant star energy in this life was purely accidental. There's no way to guarantee it can be reproduced later. And since I already know the importance of the Abyssal Star Sea, how can I miss it?"

"Even if this current time point is top secret and cannot be inquired about, after a few decades, or when the Saint Dynasty begins to pressure the Myriad Immortals Alliance and the two sides go to war, such secrets will no longer be guarded and will not be difficult to inquire about."

Despite his thoughts, Li Fan always kept his attention on these sixteen individuals.

Through the Heavenly Profound Mirror, the spiritual clone remaining in the Sun family could now stably maintain its physical form. With the recovery of the spiritual clone's strength, Sun Luyao in the Immeasurable Mirror also became increasingly powerful, and his integration with the Immeasurable Mirror became more evident.

One day, while peering into the Heavenly Profound Mirror, Sun Luyao suddenly gathered his courage and said to Li Fan, "Senior, I seem to have sensed the location of another Immeasurable Mirror fragment."

"Perhaps after absorbing it, the Immeasurable Mirror's abilities will further improve."

Previously, the fragment found by the Sun family brothers, who had searched almost the entire territory of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, indeed brought a qualitative change to the Immeasurable Mirror. If it recovers a bit more, it might truly bring a surprise to Li Fan.

However, Li Fan's spiritual clone pretended not to hear.

He just patiently completed his scrutiny of the Heavenly Profound Mirror, still finding no information about the sixteen people summoned by Chuan Fa.

Only then did he coldly look at Sun Luyao: "What location?"

Sun Luyao cautiously transmitted the sensed information.

"Huh?"

After Li Fan's spiritual clone saw the location Sun Luyao pointed out, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

It was precisely within the Hundred Stone Grotto-Heaven, located on the outskirts of Shilin Province.

The Heavenly Mystery Sect ruins and the entrance to the Spirit Wood Realm were all within these continuous underground caves.

"I see."

Li Fan's spiritual clone only replied faintly, not showing any intention of going to search for it.

Sun Luyao also did not dare to ask more.

Not until seven days later, when Sun Luyuan returned to the secret chamber, did Sun Luyao, having received Li Fan's permission, rather eagerly bring up the matter again.

In stark contrast to Li Fan's indifference, Sun Luyuan was instantly overjoyed.

"If another fragment can be found, perhaps you won't have to suffer like this anymore!"

Sun Luyao nodded in agreement.

"By the way, brother," Sun Luyao asked again, "after that old fellow Fu learned about the Heavenly Profound Mirror's spiritual clone, what was his reaction?"

Hearing this, Sun Luyuan frowned. "The Heavenly Profound Mirror giving birth to a human clone is a matter of great importance and requires careful planning. I can understand him not making a move for now. But what's strange is that since our last meeting, I haven't been able to contact him."

"Can't contact him?"

"It's not just Fu's side. Even the Myriad Immortals Alliance headquarters is temporarily inaccessible. It seems there's something extremely important happening."
