My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 372: 349: The Immortal Stronghold Suppresses the Mystical Realm

Assist the Misthaven Sea Martial Arts Hall to eliminate the Red Exotic Beasts on Wanlai Island.

Those exotic beasts reproduce rapidly by feeding on sound.

They can also meld together to form monsters that surpass their individual strength.

After a fierce battle, the Martial Arts squad successfully eradicated a certain number of Red Exotic Beasts, successfully completing the task.

Li Fan asked Jiang Zhengji curiously why he didn’t extirpate the Exotic Beasts on Wanlai Island completely.

Jiang Zhengji told him that the Martial Arts Battle Hall Headquarters of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had a task, requiring a certain number of sound-absorbing exotic treasures to be collected and handed in each year from various places.

And the amount required is increasing.

At that time, Li Fan only felt that this task was quite strange.

Now it seems that it was to prepare for dealing with this Roaring Abyss?

Sure enough, as the idea popped into Li Fan’s mind, Huang Fusong said somewhat lamentably, “The demon sound coming from the bottom of the Roaring Abyss is extremely frightening, and the Alliance has tried various methods, but cannot block it.”

“Silencing spells, soundproofing materials, have no effect.”

“It wasn’t until later that a cultivator used a stone clam magic treasure that could inhale and exhale sound, that it was discovered that this type of exotic treasure has a wonderful effect.”

“Perhaps because these exotic treasures lack wisdom and/or complex thoughts, the demon sound, which has a deadly effect on cultivators, has greatly reduced its effectiveness on them.”

“Truly, every object has its nemesis!”

“The Alliance has collected many such exotic treasures and has finally managed to defend the frontline of the Roaring Abyss. And for safety’s sake, the Eternal Immortal Fortress was moved back to its original position to suppress the Roaring Abyss.”

“So our trip there, is it because something has happened with the Eternal Immortal Fortress?” Li Fan asked.

Huang Fusong shook his head: “The Eternal Immortal Fortress has that person sitting in town, and with the accumulation of many exotic treasures, its defense line is almost unshakeable.”

“In fact, this change happened outside the Roaring Abyss…”

Just as Huang Fusong was about to speak, his expression shifted slightly.

Looking out the window, he ordered, “Get ready, we’re about to depart.”

“Xue, finish your tea. Crossing the white mist consumes a considerable amount of lifespan. This is your free compensation, if you miss it, it’s gone.”

After saying that, he shifted his buttocks and sat upright on a round seat beneath him.

Seeing this, Li Fan also emulated and sat up straight.

A slight sensation, in a flash seemed to step into another space, separated from the cabin.

Xue Mu had just swallowed the spirit tea, and as the flying boat suddenly started shaking violently, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

This sudden acceleration of the flying boat had no effect on Li Fan and Huang Fusong.

The two eyed Xue Mu at the same time, their faces full of smiles.

The flying boat seemed to be constantly accelerating, and it took Xue quite a while to finally manage to make his way to the round seat in a somewhat awkward manner.

Once Xue Mu was seated, Huang Fusong regained his calm and continued from where he’d left off: “Not long ago, the Alliance discovered that outside the Roaring Abyss, not far from this mystical realm, there were signs of another mystical realm about to emerge.”

“Dealing with the Roaring Abyss is already difficult. If these two mystical realms merge, who knows what will happen.”

“Therefore, the Alliance issued a command to relocate this newly emerged mystical realm to another open area.”

“In addition, the Tianxuan Spirit Locking array was built outside these two mystical realms for future monitoring and observation.”

“This is our mission this time.”

Huang Fusong said calmly.

The amount of information in these few sentences was rather large.

“Mystical realms can be relocated?”

“Mystical realms can merge?”

Xue Mu and Li Fan asked at the same time.

Huang Fusong looked at the two of them and explained, “A mystical realm is just a specific area where the structure of space changes when you enter.”

“And outside of this area, everything is normal.”

“This is the boundary of the Mystical Realm. Those who understand Spatial Law naturally have the ability to cut and move this entire area.”

“Even though it’s a bit tedious, it’s not a difficult task.”

“Of course, we old folks have to be the ones to do these things. We can’t rely on you youngsters.”

“Your job is to cooperate in building the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array and seal off the Mystical Realm.”

Li Fan nods slightly.

Xue Mu still seems a bit puzzled, “Senior Huang Fusong, if the Mystical Realm can be moved, why not relocate the Roaring Abyss? Why spend so much effort to suppress it?”

Huang Fusong smiles, “Indeed, why is that?”

Xue Mu suddenly can’t find the words to reply.

He deeply gazes at Xue Mu and slowly speaks, “Who knows what more terrifying thing might spring up once it’s moved? It’s better to suppress it firmly. At least, for now, this is a stage we can handle.”

“When the Tianxuan Mirror …”

Just as Huang Fusong abruptly stops speaking, a chilling sensation wells up in Li Fan’s heart.

His body feels cold, as if something is creeping around him.

Inside his heart, it’s empty, as if something silently slips away.

Xue Mu’s complexion turns pale. Although Huang Fusong appears calm, the fleeting fear in his eyes doesn’t escape Li Fan’s gaze.

Li Fan looks at his reality panel, only to see his physiological age of 49 has somehow turned into 50 in a short period of time.

Fortunately, his mental age remains unflinchingly young which leaves him fearless.

However, he can’t show this. Li Fan too pretends to be very nervous, and asks, “Have we already entered the Element Devouring White Fog?”

Then he looks out of the window.

As expected, all he can see is a sheet of pure white, no clear view available.

Huang Fusong nods, “The location of Roaring Abyss is not far from the boundary of the white fog. We should arrive soon.”

“The closer we get to the Mystical Realm, the stronger the ability of the Element Devouring White Fog to devour lifespan.”

“It’s still alright inside the Dustcrosser Boat. If entering the Mystical Realm without any protection, even a thousand-year lifespan wouldn’t be enough.”

“Remember, you must always carry the [Black Death Talisman] when you are in this Mystical Realm.”

“Otherwise, with your trivial Gold Core realm cultivation., I’m afraid you’ll be reduced to a skeleton within the time it takes to burn an incense stick.”

Huang Fusong says solemnly, then seems to remember something and adds, “Hmm, this talisman will be distributed to you all before disembarking.”

“And will be collected before departure.”

Who would have thought the location for this mission would be so dangerous?

Xue Mu, who was already taciturn, falls into even deeper silence.

Despite straining himself to stay calm, his inner panic is unhidden.

Li Fan likewise continues to appear fearful but steady.

Huang Fusong finishes his instructions, and the cabin is suddenly silent.

But this silence doesn’t last long.

Shortly after, a rustling sound abruptly echoes in Li Fan’s ears.

“Hea…”

“Sky…”

Li Fan’s heart jolts, and he looks at the two people beside him.

“Did you guys hear something?”

He asks.
