Although he had already decided to search for information regarding the vast power of the Star Sea from this other surviving civilization, Holy Embryo Li Fan did not rashly approach them directly.
After all, he had crossed more than half of the Darkest Star Sea. To resist the erosion of the Void Black Spot disease, he had continuously severed portions of his divine soul, causing his strength to be greatly weakened.
If he failed to gather information and was instead accidentally captured alive by the other party, it would truly beco the greatest joke.
“Since a civilization can survive in this place, there must also be thods capable of avoiding the various strange erosions in the void. I will first lurk in secret, slowly recover my strength, and then make plans.”
In an instant, Holy Embryo Li Fan had already settled on his strategy.
First, he pointed toward the center of his brows, instantly setting up a restriction within his already extrely frail divine soul. If anything went wrong, he could imdiately release himself and cause his soul to scatter in an instant.
Only then did Li Fan conceal his figure and begin exploring this sea of relics.
He did not follow the previous sneaky figure, fearing it might be a trap to lure the enemy deeper. Holy Embryo Li Fan chose another direction instead and turned to delve deeper into exploration.
“The void is fraught with crises. If cultivators are hiding here, they definitely need to use formations, restrictions, and the like for protection. I only need to find traces of these auras to follow the clues to their source. My level of attainnt in formations is several generations ahead of the Xuanhuang Realm, so I should have no rivals here either.”
This was what Li Fan had originally thought.
However, after continuously searching the sea of relics for more than ten days, he still found no aura of formations or other signs of civilization. He could not even sense a single trace of life.
This even caused Holy Embryo Li Fan to begin suspecting that the shadowy figure he had encountered earlier was rely an illusion.
But he did not give up easily. Like a patient hunter, he remained hidden in the shadows, waiting for his prey to appear.
Another seventeen days passed before he finally made a discovery.
A small team of three cultivators appeared. They wore strange armor and moved back to back, extrely cautious.
The way they appeared truly took Li Fan by surprise.
The positions of the lifeless relics floating quietly in the void suddenly shifted. Then a passage appeared out of thin air.
After the three walked out, those lifeless relics returned to their original positions, and the entrance to the passage closed accordingly.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and scanned around, taking in all the nearby cultivator relics.
Monts later, he suddenly understood.
“Marvelous! It is not an isolated formation, but one transford based on these naturally floating relics, almost completely integrated with the surrounding environnt.”
“Even more crucially…”
Holy Embryo Li Fan slowly approached these floating relics.
“These objects from the destroyed immortal cultivation world have, to varying degrees, been contaminated with the power of True Immortal Seal Script. This has ford a natural protection that can maximally shield against cultivators’ divine sense perception of them. This is also the reason why I searched so hard before but still could not discover their hiding place…” Li Fan instantly realized.
In fact, the ingenuity of this formation was average. However, after mixing in and introducing the power of the True Immortal Script that caused the destruction of the various realms, its level suddenly rose by more than one tier. Even with Li Fan’s current attainnt in formations, he had no good thod to crack it.
Of course, if he ignored the possible side effects that those relics might bring and wanted to forcibly break the formation, he could still do it. But that would be completely contrary to his plan of lurking and collecting information.
Li Fan glanced at the entrance to the hidden passage and ultimately abandoned the idea of forcing his way in.
Instead, he followed behind the three, carefully observing along the way.
Besides wearing strange armor, these three cultivators looked no different from people of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Their outing this ti seed to be for searching for supplies in this sea of relics.
However, the things they needed seed a bit strange to Li Fan.
There seed to be no common point, from magic treasure fragnts to pieces of building ruins, or even so dried cultivator bones; all were their collection targets.
They did not directly put them into storage rings but used a black rope to tie them together and drag them behind.
“This scene…” Li Fan was slightly stunned.
It actually reminded him of the scene where the Immortal Ancestor used golden chains to transport world fragnts in the void.
“Could there be so connection in this?”
Half a day later, after the relics tied behind them had reached more than twenty pieces, the three cultivators seed to have a disagreent.
However, in the end, under the lead of the one in front, they abandoned this search.
Carrying the supplies, they turned around and flew toward the passage entrance.
Seeing this, Li Fan quietly followed behind them.
The range these three cultivators went out seed to have a limit. They had not gone far from their hiding place. Soon, they arrived once again before the hidden passage.
Suddenly, rhythmic flashes of light appeared on one of their armors.
Li Fan sensed a strange rhythmic fluctuation emanating from the armor.
As if triggering so chanism, the positions of the surrounding lifeless relics rapidly shifted, and a circular entrance quietly appeared.
The three cultivators together pulled the more than twenty items and flew inside.
Li Fan concealed his figure and wanted to follow them in as well.
Unexpectedly, the mont he ca to the passage entrance, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded.
Li Fan’s heart jumped. He attached the clone he had prepared in advance onto one of the items.
His main body rapidly retreated far away.
Because of the clone’s existence, the alarm did not disappear with Holy Embryo Li Fan’s departure.
The three cultivators tensely looked around. After not finding any signs of external enemy invasion, they turned their gaze to the items they collected this ti.
After a brief discussion, they separated these items and tried bringing them in one by one.
In the end, they found the one with Li Fan’s clone attached.
They did not choose to destroy it but forcefully threw it toward the depths of the sea of relics.
Once the source of the threat disappeared, the warning sound also stopped.
Only then did the three turn around and return.
Not far away, watching the slowly closing passage entrance, Li Fan ultimately still did not choose to force his way in.
“Interesting. The alert thod was actually able to discover .”
His eyes flashed as he arrived beside the relic that had been thrown out.
“Indeed there is sothing unusual. From the surface, the influence of True Immortal Script still remains. But in reality, the attached power has beco extrely weak.”
“After such a long ti, my frail clone has not suffered any damage…”
Recalling the clone back into his body, Li Fan casually picked up that relic and examined it carefully once more.
It seed to be a command flag magic treasure. However, the flag had already decayed, leaving only a bare flagpole.
Its spirituality was completely lost, and it could no longer exert its original ability.
“What are they collecting these things for?”
