“Is this for secrecy?”
Li Fan glanced at Huang Fusong and found he had long regarded it as a usual practice.
He happily tapped on the table and finished the Spirit tea that had been served.
“Immortal Spirit Tea, this is a great treasure. It’s said to be a recipe passed down from the ancient era. After drinking it, it’s said to slightly increase the power of your Divine Soul.”
“Each person is limited to one cup, my young friend, won’t you have a taste?”
After the Spirit tea entered his stomach, Huang Fusong rubbed his belly, took a deep breath, and beckoned to Li Fan.
Li Fan followed suit and drank the cup of Immortal Spirit Tea in front of him.
When compared to the effects of the Heart-Refining Spell of Xuan Huang, it was lacking by more than a little.
“What a treasure!” However, he still put a very delighted face.
Just after setting down the tea cup, Li Fan felt the Dustcrosser Boat underneath him slightly shake, and it slowly came to a stop.
“Could it be that something unexpected has happened?” Bemused, Li Fan turned to Huang Fusong who was slowly standing up.
“Don’t just sit there, it seems we’ve arrived at Five Elements Great Cave Heaven,” Huang Fusong said.
“So soon?” Li Fan was a little startled, then undeniably astonished.
You must understand, in his perception, it had been only a little while since their departure.
Li Fan was also well aware of the Dustcrosser Boat’s maximum speed.
Given this, it would mean that Five Elements Great Cave Heaven is located not far from Zhupi City?
Seeming to have perceived Li Fan’s thoughts, Huang Fusong laughed and said: “You should stop calculating. This Dustcrosser Boat can not only shield our perception of the external space but also distort our perception of time.”
“Do you think only a few hours have passed?”
“In reality, it might have been seven or eight days.”
“Of course, it might have been exactly the amount of time you perceived.”
“The goal is to keep you guessing.”
“After the previous spy incident involving Immortal Master Zi Chang, the Alliance has become extremely cautious.”
Shaking his head, Huang Fusong walked towards the deck.
“Affecting the perception of time passage, huh.” Li Fan felt a chill in his heart. This was the first time he had come upon a technique involving time in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
“However, it might also be a simple distortion of perception.”
Suppressing his thoughts, Li Fan followed Huang Fusong to the deck.
Upon leaving the cabin, an almost tangible water attribute spiritual energy hit them in the face.
Having spent years in the Misthaven Ocean and having once used the Ocean Pearl for his foundation, Li Fan was extraordinarily sensitive to this water attribute spiritual energy.
Therefore, he felt more horrified than ever.
“Is this the Water Attribute Cave Heaven of the Five Elements Cave Heaven? It’s like an enlarged version of the Concentrated Ocean Pearl.”
Li Fan subconsciously breathed in and out the spiritual energy, refining and absorbing it. This added clarity to his understanding of the purity of the spiritual energy here.
Looking around, Li Fan noticed that the other cultivators, including Huang Fusong, all uniformly raised their heads, looking skywards.
Their faces were filled with unspeakable awe.
Li Fan also looked up.
The Dustcrosser Boat was currently situated on an incredibly smooth boundary line.
Below them was a limitless, edgeless water world of pure blue.
Above them was a heaven-reaching giant tree full of countless branches connecting it to the water world, hanging upside-down from the Sky Dome.
Each branch was as vast as a plain in the mortal world.
Upon them, one could vaguely see many plants growing.
Some branches even had trees growing on them in a continuous fashion.
“Initially, the Water Attribute Cave Heaven was just a simple expanse of water.”
“But not long ago, the scenes from the Wood Attribute Cave Heaven suddenly appeared above the water world.”
“The two have started to gradually merge. This is the phenomenon of Unity of Five Elements.”
Qi Buyi suddenly appeared at this moment, gazing at the magnificent vista in the Sky Dome along with everyone and explained.
“Unity of Five Elements. Then, is there any indication of Gold Attribute Cave Heaven invading below the water world?” a cultivator on the boat asked upon hearing this.
Qi Buyi nodded, “Underneath the endless water layers, one can indeed see the sky full of gold, but it’s not the invasion of Gold Attribute Cave Heaven.”
“Rather, it’s the Water Attribute Cave Heaven that is invading the Gold Attribute Cave Heaven.”
“Just like what the Wood Attribute Cave Heaven above us is doing.”
“‘Gold produces Water, Water produces Wood.’ But everything is in reverse now?” Huang Fusong retorted.
“So the final result…”
Saying this, Huang Fusong suddenly looked shocked and blankly stared at Qi Buyi.
“It’s not as simple as you imagine.” Qi Buyi walked over to the edge of the Dustcrosser Boat, picked up a ball of water with his spiritual power, and displayed it to everyone.
“Before the Unity of Five Elements, the water in this Water Attribute Cave Heaven was extremely pure. But at the moment…”
Qi Buyi flicked a spark into the water ball.
Something astonishing happened, that stunned everyone present.
The amount of water in the ball was certainly enough to douse the spark Qi Buyi had flicked.
However, when it met the flame, the water ball started burning furiously instead.
Under the watchful eyes of all, it burned more and more fiercely.
In the end, it even formed a lump of scorched earth.
Li Fan observed keenly that the bizarre phenomenon was not due to the strength of the spark.
But because the property of the “water” had changed.
It had changed to be combustible.
“Is this still water?”
“Wait, if all the water in this cave heaven suddenly caught fire, what would happen?”
The people on the Dustcrosser Boat looked at each other, pondering the terrifying implications.
Qi Buyi seemed to understand everyone’s concerns and said, “The change you see only happens when the water is removed separately.”
“When it exists as part of the entire cave heaven, it will not burn and change into earth.”
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“As for why this phenomenon is happening, there isn’t a clear answer yet.”
“This is our purpose for coming here.”
“The anomaly happening in this Cave Heaven is not the same as a typical Unity of Five Elements.”
“The Alliance is extremely interested in it. According to previous estimates, the Unity of Five Elements will be completed in at most five years.”
“And with the increasing speed of the process, this number is likely to be significantly reduced.”
“What we need to do is to ensure that the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array, which will envelope the entire Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, is completed before the total Unity of Five Elements.”
“The ones responsible for constructing the Array Technique, besides the pioneers who have already arrived, there will also be reinforcements arriving one after another.”
“We are part of it. Mainly responsible for the coverage range of the Water Attribute Cave Heaven.”
Qi Buyi explained the purpose of their mission in a very efficient manner.
“Even though it’s just one Cave Heaven, it is still incredibly vast.”
“Even so, it’s larger than a state in our Xuanhuang World.”
“Most areas here do not yet have a Teleportation Array set up. Relying solely on flying is simply too slow.”
“For convenience in future work, the Alliance has prepared some special tools for you.”
Saying this, Qi Buyi took out a drop-shaped black gold object and displayed it to everyone.
“This is the Heaven Escape Shuttle, a flying magic treasure specially made by the Alliance.”
“Its speed…”
“Is extremely fast.”
