Lu Yuzhi nodded, "Correct!"
"Boundless as the Star Sea is, even that captured Xuanhuang Lanyu couldn’t remember the way back. But through this Fruit of Ruomu, we could precisely lock onto the position of Xuanhuang World amidst the vast Star Sea!"
After a moment of silence, intense discussion erupted once again.
"Does the Xuanhuang World still possess the Fruit of Ruomu? If each of us had one, the taste would be unimaginable..."
"No wonder the Immortal Axis Institute bunch didn’t consume it. Treasures are fine, but they are entangled with the Primordial Power of other Cultivating Immortality worlds. For other cultivators, it may be fine, but as controllers of the Immortal Boat, they absolutely cannot. Unless they’re willing to give up their positions."
"Wait a minute, are there such coincidences in the world? Moreover, the life force of the fruit drifting back to its original world seems too deliberate. Could it be that the fruit is actually bait, luring entities within the Star Sea to be hunted?"
...
The debate raged on without end, and Lu Yuzhi, the moderator, did not stop it.
Instead, he closed his eyes and reflected.
Not until the room returned to silence did Lu Yuzhi continue to summarize, "From the memories of Xuanhuang Lanyu, we have ruled out the possibility of a trap. Even if a conspiracy involving the Fruit of Ruomu truly existed in ancient times, there’s no need to worry about the current Xuanhuang World. Although the Xuanhuang World survived the Great Calamity of the Star Sea, it has also undergone unimaginable drastic changes."
"The current Xuanhuang World is under the joint rule of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization..."
Lu Yuzhi began to detail the related information about Xuanhuang World to everyone.
"That’s not right, how e the Xuanhuang World is much larger in scale than what’s recorded in our Mystic Immortal Boat?"
"Preliminary judgment, it should be the survivors of the Star Sea joining forces in an attempt to resist the Suction Force of the Ruins of Immortality. What’s called Xuanhuang World, in my opinion, should more appropriately be called ’Land of the Survivors of Various Worlds’."
"Then, there must still be hidden experts in the Xuanhuang World. There are definitely not only those who show themselves, like the Law Transmissionists and the five Immortal Sovereigns."
"Contrary to the Logic of Heaven and Earth, to achieve Longevity... indeed quite interesting. To bind with the world does grant a lifespan unattainable by ordinary cultivators. And to be able to synch strength with the robustness of the world is a power boost. It’s a pity that once outside the world, one’s strength is greatly diminished. Moreover, once the world is destroyed, one can only share in its Annihilation."
The group scrutinized the information about Xuanhuang World with gravity.
"Let’s not forget, within the Xuanhuang World lie many Fairyland’s Gifts. The Tianxuan Mirror of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is clearly one of them. Are there other Immortal Instruments within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals? If we go to war, we must take this factor into consideration. I believe everyone understands just how powerful the Power of a True Immortal is. Can we really win so easily?"
"In my opinion, there’s no need for conflict. From Lanyu’s memories, we can tell that the resources in the Xuanhuang World are still quite abundant. Our Immortal Boat is at most equivalent to less than half a province of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. We could very well use trade to exchange for what we need."
"Correct, even if we cannot take over the Xuanhuang World. Exploring that so-called Immortal Ruins would greatly benefit us. Such overwhelming Power of the True Immortal... there might even be a plete set of ’True Immortal Seal Characters’ inside!"
"Ah, I would urge everyone to be more cautious. While we covet the various resources of the Xuanhuang World, isn’t the Xuanhuang World also very eager to break free from the shackles of the Immortal Ruins? To them, is our Mystic Immortal Boat not a piece of fat meat?"
...
Whether to travel far to Xuanhuang was absolutely a matter that could pletely change the fate of the Immortal Boat. In the short term, it was really difficult to make a decision. And due to reasons of historical legacy, all those present did not unanimously propose to dispatch a portion of their power to probe the situation.
The Mystic Immortal Boat, no matter what, must advance and retreat as one. It could not afford a second split.
The decision was made to convene again after thirty days to make a determinaton.
After everyone had dispersed, only nine cultivators remained behind.
Four from the Broken Immortal Tower, three from the Immortal Axis Institute, one from the Path Validation Academy, and one from the Immortal Boat Forge Star Workshop.
Li Fan, the direct disciple, was not qualified to be included and was waiting outside.
Gan Jingda gently pointed, and an image instantly appeared before everyone.
A Daoist Sword Light cut through the Cang sky.
Sixteen characters shone brightly above the Vault of Heaven.
Beyond the end of the Star Sea, beneath the High Wall, the Mystic merce Immortal Vessel floats through Tribulation.
Gan Jingda slowly said, "What do you think?"
"This method of munication... ’Boundless’?" The expression of Nangong Lie from the Path Validation Academy weighed heavily.
"A traitor from the Immortal Boat?"
"Not necessarily, it could also be those who rebelled and fled in the past. Trying to divert disaster? And afterward, to reap the benefits like a fisherman?"
"Regardless, in the face of absolute power, any scheme or trick is just an illusion. The only thing to consider is whether it’s worth it or not."
...
Several exchanged ments, deliberating on the future of the Mystic Immortal Boat.
Outside the council space, Li Fan did not leave early but waited for his teacher.
Looking down at the structures scattered around the Immortal Boat Divine Tree, his thoughts, however, were focused on the Fruit of Ruomu that had made a brief appearance in the council.
"The life force of the Fruit of Ruomu does indeed scatter and drift towards Xuanhuang World. But not through ordinary means, it involves the very level of the Star Sea."
"To rely on its life force to lock onto the position of the Xuanhuang World... it’s simply impossible."
