Chapter 427: The Terrifying Multiverse Abyss, Even the Apex is Insignificant! (Part 1)
September 23, 2024
At this moment, Lin Fan and Star Mother Gu were looking at each other.
Their gazes were profoundly deep.
As if...
They both understood.
Hmm.
"Understood."
If asked what they understood, it's hard to say.
But in any case, they both understood, and they became the embodiment of understanding.
Moreover, not only did they understand, but they also tacitly agreed not to mention this matter.
Lin Fan's thoughts were clear; the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land was a significant power, and they couldn't lose face. If he exposed them, it would be embarrassing.
So, he decided to act as if he knew nothing and followed the plan.
As for the rest, why overthink it?
...
Back at Star Mother Gu's cave abode, she spoke up, "I never expected this journey to be so smooth. I guess Senior Uncle Zhou did it on purpose."
"Hmm..."
Lin Fan didn't want to bring it up, but since Star Mother Gu mentioned it, he decided to give her face and say a few words, "I think so too."
"After all, my strength isn't that powerful, is it?"
Star Mother Gu: "..."
I don't believe you!
I was just joking, and you actually dared to agree!
Her heart felt a bit uneasy.
This Lin Fan was too formidable!
If he had two more years to grow, and they fought again, she feared he would easily suppress and pin her down for a good rubbing.
Hiss! What a pervert!
"Ahem, as long as they agreed, it's good. Being able to bring the Sky Gazing Mirror with us will greatly increase our chances of success."
"Time is precious, let's go."
Star Mother Gu raised her hand, and the Sky Gazing Mirror appeared in her palm.
Then, she decisively grunted, severing her connection with the Sky Gazing Mirror and erasing her soul imprint within it, returning the mirror to its original unowned state.
"Let's quickly refine it."
"Senior Sister Wu, please give me face and don't resist."
While refining Lin Fan, she was also negotiating with the Sky Gazing Mirror.
Senior Sister Wu floated out and said softly, "Actually, I'm also very interested in the Multiverse Abyss. Over the years, I've observed the Immortal Martial Continent thoroughly, and there's nothing left to pique my curiosity."
"But the Multiverse Abyss has always intrigued me."
"Rarely do I get the chance to visit such a place without the Holy Land's interference. I won't stop you, and I might even lend a hand."
Senior Sister Wu turned to Lin Fan and smiled.
"Speaking of which, just like Star Mother Gu, I've always believed in you, but I never imagined your growth rate would be so astonishing."
"I never thought there would be a chance for us to truly fight side by side."
"This time, as long as you can return safely..."
"No one in the Immortal Martial Continent will be your match."
"Huh?"
Lin Fan scratched his head, "It's not that bad, I think I still have a long way to go."
"..." Star Mother Gu chose to remain silent.
Senior Sister Wu didn't dwell on the topic, merely smiling slightly.
The observer sees all!
Although Lin Fan and Star Mother Gu's thoughts were unclear, she could guess and understand them. As an observer, she was more aware of the details than they were.
Therefore...
Everything was under control.
...
The refining process went smoothly.
For a true Immortal Artifact like the Sky Gazing Mirror, if it resisted, even with Lin Fan's full power, it would take at least several years to refine it.
But this time, not only did the Sky Gazing Mirror not resist, but it was also extremely cooperative, even taking the initiative to be refined. As a result, in just a few days, the refining was successful.
When Lin Fan succeeded and opened his eyes, Senior Sister Wu smiled and said, "I guess I'll have to call you Master from now on."
"Please don't say that."
Lin Fan quickly waved his hands, "It's not like that, really!"
"I'm just borrowing it."
"I'll return it later."
Senior Sister Wu nodded, "Yes, it must be returned."
"I believe in you, and so does Star Mother Gu. The Sky Gazing Mirror is linked to the Holy Land, so if I help you during this period, it's no problem."
"If you don't mind, I can call you Master during this time."
"I really don't have that kind of preference," Lin Fan emphasized.
Senior Sister Wu smiled, "Is that so?"
"When your two maids call you Master, don't I see you looking quite happy?"
Lin Fan blushed, "Senior Sister, are you spying on me?!"
"It's not spying."
Senior Sister Wu shook her head, "Everyone knows I can observe the world, so I'm just openly watching."
Lin Fan: "..."
You make a good point.
I'm speechless!
"About when can we enter?" After a moment of banter, Lin Fan turned serious and asked Star Mother Gu about the timing.
"Anytime."
Star Mother Gu's expression also turned solemn, "In fact, it was already opened a couple of days ago. I just haven't activated it yet. Once activated, we'll be instantly teleported into the Multiverse Abyss."
"And this process will take five years."
"Within five years, we can enter at any time, but once the five-year period is up, no matter when we enter, we'll be instantly teleported back as long as we're still alive."
"I see."
Lin Fan nodded slightly.
Then he said, "I'm ready, we can leave anytime."
"What about you?"
Knowing that this was a significant undertaking, Lin Fan had made all the necessary preparations before leaving the sect.
For example, Barrett had been fed and improved further, now a Middle-grade Imperial Armament capable of blasting several mid-stage Ninth Stage cultivators without issue. Even late-stage Ninth Stage cultivators must be treated with caution, or they would be blasted!
As for other magical treasures, Lin Fan didn't bring any.
However, he had brought a considerable amount of elixirs, including various special auxiliary pills, 'Red Elixirs', and 'Blue Elixirs'.
He also had a plethora of herbs!
Fearing that he might run out of medicine later, he brought some herbs, so he could refine them whenever needed.
Or if some less common elixirs were required, he could refine them on the spot.
So, he was truly prepared and ready to depart at any time.
"Me?"
Gu Xinglian smiled, "Of course, I'm also ready to depart at any moment."
"Do you know? I've been preparing for this day for tens of thousands of years."
"Even... not just me, my master, my master's master, and generation after generation in the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land have been preparing for this day for nearly one million two hundred thousand years."
"So, everything that needed to be prepared has long been taken care of."
"If one hasn't prepared by now, even with five more years, it still wouldn't be enough."
"I understand."
Lin Fan nodded, "Then who is the chosen one?"
"I'll notify her immediately." Gu Xinglian spoke up.
A moment later, a figure with a heavy aura of dusk appeared outside the room.
"Holy Mother, I have arrived."
"Senior Uncle, there's no need for formalities, please come in." Gu Xinglian said respectfully.
Then...
Lin Fan's gaze suddenly narrowed.
She looked very young, like an eighteen-year-old girl, but that astonishing aura of dusk seemed as if she could collapse at any moment!
But what truly surprised him was her cultivation...
"An Eleventh Tribulation Scatter Immortal?!"
This was a true big shot!!!
Just one more tribulation away from directly ascending to the Immortal Realm, and even in the Immortal Realm, she would be considered a powerful figure!
"Young friend."
She nodded lightly at Lin Fan, "I am Xu Wei Yi."
"Senior Xu." Lin Fan quickly responded solemnly, "Junior Lin Fan."
He had always held great respect for such an existence.
Because Xu Wei Yi couldn't have possibly failed her tribulation and resorted to dematerialization. Her becoming a Scatter Immortal was absolutely intentional! It was to protect the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land!
Otherwise...
One who couldn't even pass the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, how could she possibly pass the Eleventh Tribulation?
"I know you."
"You're a remarkable young man. This time, you'll accompany us on this adventure."
Xu Wei Yi was very calm, without a hint of hostility.
But...
She was also too 'calm'.
Like a stagnant pond, without a ripple.
"Where, I'm just an ordinary person."
Lin Fan was taken aback, "But, Senior, you're just one tribulation away from achieving True Immortality or even Golden Immortality, yet you still choose to embark on this adventure. Is it...
"A bit radical?"
Gu Xinglian fell silent.
Xu Wei Yi remained calm, "This is my destiny."
"Do you know why?"
Lin Fan was stunned, "Please tell me."
"Because... my destiny in this life is to fight in the Multiverse Abyss for the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land." She smiled slightly, "After one million two hundred thousand years of accumulation in the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land, and countless resources spent on me, it was as expected, and I didn't let them down, pushing me to the Eleventh Tribulation Scatter Immortal at the right time."
"Otherwise, how could I have become an Eleventh Tribulation Scatter Immortal?"
"The Twelfth Tribulation Scatter Immortal, however, is no longer within the reach of resources and manpower. If you say it's radical and ask how I should face the Multiverse Abyss, I can only say that I was born for this."
"My entire life has been dedicated to this effort."
"This is my sole purpose."
"The Twelfth Tribulation Scatter Immortal, I will surely fail to pass, and naturally, I won't have those concerns. Instead, I can wholeheartedly fight in the Multiverse Abyss and strive for a remarkable outcome."
"Senior!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan felt a deep respect.
But he also felt a hint of sadness for this newly acquainted Senior Xu.
However...
She could have normally ascended to immortality, there was no need for dematerialization to become a Scatter Immortal.
For the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land, or perhaps for the entire world...
"If this journey succeeds, the entire Immortal Martial Continent will remember your great name!"
"It's just an empty title, I don't care about it."
Xu Wei Yi remained calm, she smiled lightly, "It's just to repay my master's life-saving and discovery of me, moreover, I also want to see the prowess of strong cultivators from other worlds, and...the Multiverse Abyss, what is it?"
"So, there's no need for words, just forge ahead."
"But first, let's make something clear."
"If we encounter an insurmountable crisis in the Multiverse Abyss, you must leave first! Do not get caught in danger for my sake."
Lin Fan immediately frowned, about to refuse.
But Gu Xinglian sighed, "Okay..."
"You?" Lin Fan was surprised.
Gu Xinglian let out a bitter laugh.
Lin Fan realized instantly.
Yes...
What could she do?
Although she was the Holy Mother, she had no choice.
The Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land had planned for over a million years, enduring over a million years of darkness, all for that one moment of brilliance in the Multiverse Abyss, for that fleeting splendor.
With what reason could she stop this?
And as the Holy Mother of the Ten Thousand Flowers, she couldn't stop it either!
"I understand."
He sighed, "But I'll do my best."
...
"Great Elder."
Soon, Gu Xinglian summoned the Great Elder, giving a series of instructions, and the Great Elder accepted the task and left.
Next was Xiao Long Nu.
She still didn't know where Gu Xinglian and Lin Fan were going or what kind of crisis they would face, but a smile remained on her face, carefree and worry-free.
"No more slacking off, from now on, you must cultivate diligently!"
"Wait for Master's return!"
"Yes, Master!" Xiao Long Nu giggled, "Master, where are you going?"
"To a very distant place."
"Before I return, you must follow Elder's instructions and absolutely not act recklessly!"
As she spoke, Gu Xing Ling quietly transmitted her voice to Xiao Long Nu, "If one day Master does not return, and the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land gradually declines, and even becomes perilously close to destruction..."
"You promised me that you will immediately leave the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land and join the Moon-Intercepting Sect."
"With your relationship with them, they will surely take you in."
"Huh?"
Xiao Long Nu was startled, and the smile on her face instantly vanished. She also transmitted her voice, "Master, what do you mean?"
She didn't know what was about to happen, but she keenly sensed that the problem was significant.
"Promise me!"
"Otherwise, I will expel you from the sect right now!"
Gu Xing Ling refused to explain and only pressured Xiao Long Nu to agree.
And her attitude was firm.
Seeing Gu Xing Ling's unyielding attitude, Xiao Long Nu had no choice but to reluctantly agree with a bitter smile...
Then, she wanted to ask more questions.
But just at that moment...
Boom!
A divine light descended, enveloping Gu Xing Ling, Lin Fan, and Xu Wei Yi.
Then...
The three of them mysteriously disappeared along with the divine light.
Everything happened right before her eyes, but Xiao Long Nu could no longer sense even a trace of her Master's aura. Only the familiar scent of her Master lingered in the room, as if she had never left.
"Master..."
Xiao Long Nu's heart sank.
She didn't know what had happened, nor did she know where her Master and Lin Fan had gone.
But she was certain that this matter was of great importance.
"I'm still too weak, and you're unwilling to tell me anything."
"But I will definitely strive to become stronger!"
"I will eventually find out everything."
"If you don't return, I will bring everyone..."
"And find you!"
In that moment, Xiao Long Nu seemed to have matured.
However, she didn't understand what it meant to mature.
But she knew that from now on, she must not be so indulgent and lazy.
Because...
She already had a goal that she must achieve!
...
Boom!
The divine light quickly dissipated.
Lin Fan, Gu Xing Ling, and Xu Wei Yi stood back-to-back in a triangular formation, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
Darkness!
But it wasn't the kind of darkness that completely obscured vision or even blocked divine perception.
It was more like a night without any moon or stars, not even a hint of starlight.
To ordinary people, it was pitch-black.
To these apex cultivators, they could still see normally.
In this area, there was a dead silence, no signs of life.
A deathly silence.
If not for the fact that they could still breathe normally, Lin Fan would have thought he was in a vacuum.
In the distance, there were mountains surrounding them.
But these mountains were extremely 'ruined', bearing the scars of unknown years of war, and not just from 'one battle', but from many.
Lin Fan was certain that he had never seen such a place, nor had he ever been there before.
And this environment made him feel uneasy.
Looking at Gu Xing Ling and Xu Wei Yi, he found that their expressions were equally uneasy.
This eerie place gave them no sense of security.
"Be careful."
Lin Fan spoke softly and took out the Sky-Observing Mirror, "Wu Jie, it's up to you."
"I'll do my best."
Buzz...
The Sky-Observing Mirror emitted a faint, hazy light.
It was very weak, but in this dark environment, it stood out. Xu Wei Yi immediately stopped the light from spreading, and after a moment, Wu Jie had a preliminary result.
"Within a million li, there's temporarily no one."
"This is just my judgment, and I'm not sure if strong beings from other worlds have special means to evade my detection."
"Moreover, the Multiverse Abyss is too mysterious. I can only explore a million li around, and even within this area, there might be places that can obscure my perception."
"So, we must be cautious."
"A million li?"
"That's already excellent." Gu Xing Ling sighed in relief, "My divine perception can only scan a million li, blocked by some unknown and chaotic law.
"That makes sense." Lin Fan guessed, "Since the Multiverse Abyss is the final destination of all 'destroyed' worlds, theoretically, there should be countless worlds here, countless world ruins gathered together."
"World ruins, the gathering of chaotic laws."
Gu Xing Ling nodded lightly.
"Less talk, more action." Xu Wei Yi spoke solemnly, "Prioritize the important matters. Elder, have you found any opportunities or traces of the heart of the broken world?"
"There are one or two opportunities, but the heart of the world has not been discovered yet."
"From now on, I will constantly scan the area within a million li. If there's any movement, I'll inform you in advance, and I'll also tell you about the locations of opportunities."
Wu Jie responded, "But remember, don't be careless. My detection results are only for reference and not to be fully trusted, or else it's easy to run into problems."
"It's already excellent." Lin Fan said, "If not for you, Wu Jie, our perception would be a million times weaker."
"With your help, we already have a significant advantage."
"Let's explore carefully."
A thousand li and a million li, seemingly only a thousand times difference.
But if calculated by 'square', it's more than a million times!
This advantage could be said to be maximized.
If they still couldn't succeed with such an advantage, it would be truly unlucky.
"Alright, I'll tell you about the nearest place of opportunity first."
"..."
With Wu Ji Jie's cooperation, the three of them proceeded cautiously, and everything went smoothly along the way.
