Chapter 1850: Chapter 1480 Fishing for Xing Wuque_2

Ignoring the numerous thoughts born from the Xuanhuang World and Abyss Star Ocean, Li Fan immersed himself in the contemplation of the Great Dao beyond the high wall.

Using his body as the path, he actively embraced the Great Dao of all heavens. What he saw, felt, and comprehended was entirely different from when he was an ordinary mortal.

Li Fan more easily saw the holes one by one within the Great Dao.

Where the Dao was originally supposed to be, there were gaps for various reasons. It was extremely shocking.

Compared to the Sea of Obscured Stars suffering from the path-obliterating calamity, the Great Dao inside the high wall seemed “full of vitality.”

Yet, behind this vitality, Li Fan felt the sorrow of an aging setting sun, like an old man showing signs of weakness and decline.

“Even with my small Dao Network, I can see it this clearly. How could those people in the Sea of the Northern Stars be unaware of the current situation?” Li Fan sneered inwardly.

He gazed at the large and obscure Dao Network not far away.

The progress of cooperation with the True Immortals seemed not to be going smoothly. Compared to when Li Fan last observed, there were only three to five more inheritor illusions. It was unclear whether those remaining True Immortals were unwilling, or their numbers were too few.

Li Fan didn’t have the time to bother with them for now. Instead, he focused entirely on digesting the gains from the Abyss Star Ocean.

As he slowly stripped away the past memories of the Immortal Heavenly Pillar of the Starving Immortal, Li Buren used the Dao Yan Ten Thousand Forms to construct a true flesh body, leveraging the XuanHuang Living Beings’ inspiration of the Star Sea Great Dao…

Li Fan would need to enter a period of long accumulation and growth.

Fortunately, the presence of the high wall and the Abyss Star Ocean served as a natural secret room, freeing him from the worry of external disturbances.

Time passed slowly.

The Abyss Star Ocean was no longer dim, as sparks of life began to emerge in various corners.

In the Wadi Dark River beneath the Abyss Star Ocean, this change first became apparent.

At the lowest point of the dark river, the long-silent River of Life roared and thundered once again, as traces of vitality from all over Star Ocean converged into a river, pouring into this place.

This boiling, majestic vitality attracted a being within the dark river.

It was the Shadow of the Nameless Immortal, recorded by the Wadi Dark River during the Starving Immortal’s nameless enlightenment.

It bore no similarity to the Starving Immortal himself, just a ghost-like shadow.

It existed in a state of ignorance, standing silently since its birth. It wasn’t until the River of Life was full of vitality that it was instinctively drawn to the most vibrant spot.

Like a whale drinking water, the Shadow of the Nameless Immortal began absorbing all the overflowing vitality.

Originally thin and seemingly about to dissipate at any moment, the image gradually solidified.

Standing along the banks of the River of Life, the shadow became indistinguishable from a real person.

Yet, after accomplishing all this, it made no further moves, as if losing its mission, merely standing by the roaring River of Life as before.

Meanwhile, the mind of Li Fan, watching this shadow in secret, waited patiently.

If the enemy doesn’t move, I don’t move.

As the saying goes, how can others sleep beside my bed? Before completely resolving the hidden worries within the Abyss Star Ocean, how could Li Fan rest easy?

Now, the entire Abyss Star Ocean was largely free of hidden troubles.

Apart from the fishing pond which he temporarily did not want to deal with, the only concern was the newly born Shadow of the Nameless Immortal in the underground darkness.

He had long left a trace of Divine Sense to monitor, so any disturbance in the shadow’s movements naturally did not escape his control.

The Shadow of the Nameless Immortal, after all, was not a true life.

It couldn’t sustain the absorbed vitality from dissipating.

As it stood like a stone statue, the vitality slowly weakened with time.

As if finally unable to bear the loss of vitality, a hidden light and shadow finally made its move.

A tattered, time-corroded mask swiftly shot out from the depths of the underground dark river.

Charging straight towards the Shadow of the Nameless Immortal.

After crashing into the shadow, it acted like a frenzied beast, causing the shadow to shake incessantly.

In the unnerving sounds of chewing, the disturbances calmed down slowly.

The mask was then placed on the shadow of the Nameless Immortal.

It gazed at the massive convergence of vitality not far away, and a surge of greed arose within.

It opened its mouth slightly, ready to absorb it all.

Just then…

A hand suddenly pressed on its shoulder.

“Where did this thief come from?”

“Daring to steal from me.” The voice was calm, imposing without anger.

The shadow froze instantly, instinctively wanting to flee, but found an insurmountable mountain seemed to press upon its shoulder.

It couldn’t move at all!

“Damn it! After all, it’s someone else’s Dao Shadow. If only it were my own body…” It had no time to think further, just feeling a sudden world-spinning force, as it was captured into an unknown space.

Two towering stone pillars stood lonely in front.

Looking at the stone pillars, an ominous premonition surged in the shadow’s heart.

“That is…”

In an instant of recognition, the shadow began to tremble uncontrollably.

It knew what these were, for it was because it feared becoming the Immortal within the Pillar that it spent considerable efforts to send an incarnate quietly into the Lower Realm, seeking to escape disaster.

Unexpectedly, the tribulation came so unpredictably. Facing the overwhelming Dao-obliterating calamity, even with vast divine powers, the original body turned to flying ashes. The invasion of Dao Yan even affected the avatar.

Almost gods and forms were both destroyed, leaving only a fragment of thought, unable to move, left alone in the River of Life it opened.

“If it weren’t for completely shielding my avatar’s consciousness back then, to avoid detection, things wouldn’t be so dire.” It had lamented silently for many years lying in the dark river.

Though compared to the Nameless True Immortals who perished in the Great Calamity of the Immortal World and the [Heavenly Net] Immortal Emperor, it was a blessing amidst adversity that it still retained consciousness.

Initially, it could only slowly accumulate, recovering its strength. Praying for the Path-obliterating Calamity not to reach it before it could act.

Until recently, it sensed the fluctuations of the Nameless True Immortal’s enlightenment above.

Unexpectedly, after so many years since the destruction of the Immortal World, a new Nameless True Immortal would emerge. This revelation both frightened and delighted it.

The joy was the possibility that the Immortal World wasn’t completely exterminated, for where else could this Nameless True Immortal come from?

The fear was of being discovered by the other.

Although it was only a remnant body with blurred memories,

after all, it was once Nameless.

If the other had greed and devoured it, refining it…

In its hesitation and unease, it eventually decided to take a gamble.

Utilizing all its accumulated strength, it activated the form of life within the dark river it had opened.

Recording the Shadow of the Nameless Immortal upon its enlightenment.

“With this Dao Shadow, I can turn the tide of my predicament!”

—————–

Quickly restored to nearly gods and forms completely destroyed, leaving only a fragment of thought. Unable to move, it could only stay in solitude in the River of Life it opened.
