Chapter 1198: Immortal Boat divided into two
“Zhao Xian!” Zhao Wuji snorted coldly when he saw this.
Zhao Xian instantly came back to his senses.
“Tell me, what does the strife between the Broken Immortal Tower and the Immortal Armature Academy have to do with me sending you on this mission again?” Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Master is making a statement and a gesture of goodwill. This is the first time that the Immortal Break Tower has collected relics since they took over the Crime Suppression Valley. Everyone is watching. Let’s see how the Immortal Broken Building’s new method really works, and whether it’s better or lesser than the Immortal Hub’s long-standing tradition. Sending useless relics away to be utilized for waste …… is something that can be done casually, but the master has asked us to personally go and make a trip. Not only is it to show the Broken Immortal Building your attitude, but it is also to explain to those forces in the outside world who are watching …….”
Zhao Xian said breathlessly.
Zhao Wuji listened and nodded repeatedly, satisfied with Zhao Xian’s analysis.
However, after seeing the other party’s disinterested look again, he still couldn’t help but be furious.
He was about to say something, but Zhao Xian took the initiative to interrupt, “Master, I really don’t understand, the Immortal Boat is now in such a state, why can’t we unite, but instead we still have to fight to the death?”
Zhao Wuji’s face changed and he waved his hand to prevent his disciple’s voice from leaking out.
“You bad disciple ……”
“Is it wrong?” Zhao Xian held his neck high, not the least bit intimidated.
Zhao Wuji suddenly appeared with a ruler and raised it high, about to fall on Zhao Xian’s head.
However, he didn’t hit him hard after all.
“Idle son, you don’t understand.”
“This Xuan Immortal Boat must have, and can only have, one person at the helm. The fiasco many years ago already illustrated the terrible consequences that would come from the inability to unify the top decision-making level.” Zhao Wuji let out a long sigh.
Zhao Xian sniffed and also looked grim. There was no more retort.
“You guys and go down.” Zhao Wuji was suddenly disinterested.
“Don’t go out recently, honestly cultivate in the Academy Palace. Since Master Teacher has already taken sides, all we need to do next is wait for them to split the victory. Even if Broken Immortal Tower really loses, the Immortal Armature Academy wouldn’t dare to do anything to our Evidence School Palace. At most, it will just reduce the distribution of some materials.”
The three disciples obeyed the order and left, returning to their respective residences.
The Evidential Dao School Palace, the name was quite overbearing.
But Zhao Xian’s residence was a bit too humble.
It didn’t look like a place for Immortal Cultivators to rest in the slightest, only a single room that was barely big enough to live in.
The only commendable thing was that the concentration of aura in the room was significantly higher than the rest of the Immortal Boat.
There was no problem in satisfying cultivation below the Jindan stage.
Closing the door of the room behind him, he skillfully blocked it with a forbidden system. A hint of excitement flashed in Zhao Xian’s eyes as he rummaged under the bed to find a book-like magic weapon.
He was about to use it when he suddenly fainted.
Li Fan’s distraction slowly revealed his form.
The book and magic weapon were taken over.
“Well …… it’s similar to the Tianxuan Mirror, connecting to the Immortal Ark’s counseling network, and also allowing you to use the contributions in the School Palace to exchange for the appropriate resources. It’s only limited to the interior of the Testimony School Palace, and can’t connect to other areas of the Immortal Ark.”
Li Fan shook his head and threw that so-called [Record of Ten Thousand Hearings] aside.
He then turned into a wisp of green smoke and dived into Zhao Xian’s consciousness.
However, how could a youngster at the Qi Refining stage resist Li Fan’s prying eyes.
Within a short time, all of Zhao Xian’s secrets from childhood to adulthood were seen by Li Fan.
Although Zhao Xian shared the same surname Zhao as Zhao Wuji, they were not related by blood.
The reason why Zhao Wuji had a great love for Zhao Xian was because Zhao Xian’s “cultivation talent” was good.
After only a year of coming to the Evidence Academy, he was already in the late stage of Qi Refining.
This cultivation speed, although it wasn’t worth mentioning in the Xuan Huang Realm. However, in this Immortal Boat, it was already considered outstanding.
Cultivation resources in the Immortal Boat were limited, even the Testifying School Palace was living a tight life and could only prioritize the supply of those disciples with outstanding natural talent.
Every three school years, final elimination is practiced.
Those who lagged behind in their advancement would have to leave the school palace, or return home or choose to be a loose cannon since then. Or accept the appointment of the Immortal Armature Academy to serve in the Immortal Boat. It is this brutal elimination system that makes the Evidence Academy maintain its strengths and vitality at all times.
Not only would disciples be eliminated, but the pressure faced by YuanYing stage cultivators like Zhao Wuji was also great.
If all the disciples taught performed mediocrely, it meant that there was no talent for teaching.
If they didn’t have a hard background, they would have to leave their teaching positions and take up other positions that had a certain level of danger.
It was for this reason that the atmosphere up and down the Evidence Academy was very depressing.
Everyone didn’t know when they would be forced to leave the place.
This Zhao Xian, however, was an exception.
Perhaps it was his nature, but he didn’t have much of an obsession with staying in the Evidence Academy.
Even for cultivation, he was not very enthusiastic.
Outsiders thought that one year in the late Qi Refining stage was already the result of his painstaking cultivation.
Only he himself knew that this was merely a manifestation after he had fished for three days and sun-dried the nets for two days, not putting in much effort at all.
Zhao Xian’s greatest interest was searching for those strange anecdotes in the Book of Ten Thousand Anecdotes.
About the origin of the Immortal Boat, about everything in the ancient Immortal Cultivation World, about the endless sea of stars beyond the Immortal Boat ……
He was filled with interest in all of them.
Li Fan carefully read what he had seen and heard over the past year.
Not only through the [Record of Ten Thousand Hearings], but some of it was also from the elders of the Academy Palace.
“In ancient times, the Immortal Boat was still once intact. However, because of the sudden suffering of the Star Ocean Realm Extinction Tribulation, as well as the infighting that occurred. The Immortal Boat has since broken and split into two.”
“One of them is [Xuan], and the other is [Shang].”
“This one, is the Xuan Immortal Boat.”
“……”
After a pause, Li Fan continued to look down.
“For a long time after the immortal boat broke, it was a chaotic epoch of going with the flow and being completely out of control in the sea of stars.”
“The population also plummeted at that time, and nearly nine out of ten died during that period.”
“Until the Immortal Ark finally stabilized at last, and it appeared in this sea of relics.”
“It has never left …… since then.”
“Although it can be shifted in a small area, it is powerless to get rid of the bindings of that powerful force in the periphery beyond the relics.”
“……”
Looking at the Immortal Boatman’s naming of that suction force, Li Fan was suddenly in deep thought.
“[Echoing Star Power]?”
“What is the explanation for this word reverberation?”
Zhao Xian was only a Qi Refining Cultivator, and being able to know so much was already something he could only find out by dying and pestering the seniors of the Academic Palace on a regular basis.
Regarding the source of the Echoing Star Power, it was indeed not something he could know.
Li Fan could only suppress his doubts for the time being.
He began to think about the next step in his plan to come.
The power of the distraction was too weak, and the only way to have enough leeway to exert it was to let the Sacred Fetus in.
The only thing that needed to be resolved was the power residue of the True Immortal Seal Character.
Li Fan suddenly thought of the talisman used by the Broken Immortal Tower before.
