Let’s not talk about the Mystic Immortal Boat at the end of the Star Sea for now.
Let’s talk about the Rainbow Light heading for the Mystic Immortal Boat, currently traveling through the Star Sea.
After Lan Yu transmitted the records of the Rainbow Light to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, he focused his attention on what lay ahead.
His surroundings were pitch black, seemingly peaceful.
But in his senses, dangers lurked everywhere, fraught with killing intent.
"Lan Yu, old brother, we’ve been out for quite a while now, have we gained anything?"
The voice of JIng Re ca from behind.
Lan Yu never had a good impression of this Unity-Path Cultivator who liked to join in wherever there was excitent.
At this mont, he simply responded indifferently, "There are small gains, I suppose."
JIng Re sneered covertly and transmitted telepathically, "Lan Yu, old brother, you said that here in the Star Sea, we are no longer bound by the power of the Heavenly Sovereign. Does that make it easier to break through?"
"I heard that your Techniques were directly passed down from the Grand Master in ancient tis, and perhaps they ca from the Immortal World. And I see that you seem to have gotten quite a bit younger in a short ti..."
"JIng Re, you are crossing the line," Lan Yu said gravely, cutting off JIng Re’s words.
JIng Re was not embarrassed, he bowed his hands and left with a smile.
Lan Yu turned back and continued to monitor the Dark Void ahead where the Rainbow Light was advancing.
He sighed deeply to himself.
On this Immortal Boat, now dubbed "Going To Respect", the atmosphere had grown sowhat delicate.
The protective Rainbow Light had mostly dissipated while escaping from the Immortal Ruins, but the Immortal Boat continued to speed towards the end of the Star Sea.
However, in just a few months’ ti, three Unity-Path Cultivators on the boat had suddenly died.
If they had died from the strange phenona outside the Star Sea, that would have been one thing. But all three Unity-Path Cultivators died under unclear, mysterious circumstances.
Everyone had personally checked but no one could figure out the true cause of these sudden deaths.
The three bodies still lay quietly inside the Immortal Boat, their complexions rosy, as if they were rely asleep.
Yet their inner Divine Souls had been hollowed out without anyone realizing it.
"This is Unity-Path," Lan Yu felt a heavy weight in his heart.
Among the fallen three, one nad "Qing Yan" was an old Unity-Path Cultivator like himself, and not much less powerful than he was.
Yet he died all of a sudden, without explanation.
Lan Yu even began to miss the falling phenona of the Xuanhuang World. At the very least, even if one fell there, the cause of death was clear.
"However, I heard that there were also anomalies in those phenona just before we left? Truly a crisis-filled ti."
Lan Yu, who had survived the Great Calamity until now, instinctively sighed at the unusualness of it all.
Just as his thoughts wandered, suddenly another piercing scream jolted him awake.
Lan Yu’s expression changed, and realizing sothing was wrong, he imdiately rushed towards the source of the sound.
By the ti he arrived, four Unity-Path Cultivators had already gathered around.
But the focus of their horrified gazes was on another corpse lying on the ground.
Lan Yu’s pupils shrank sharply, because the one who had died was none other than Immortal JIng Re, who had just been trying to ingratiate himself with him!
Looking at Immortal JIng Re’s ruddy face and the lifeless body, a chill ran through Lan Yu’s heart.
Soon after, all the survivors on the Immortal Boat had assembled.
"Old Guan, it’s better if you handle this."
From among the crowd, Guan Xingxiu stepped forward slowly, his expression solemn.
After carefully examining the body of Immortal JIng Re, he concluded, "The sa way of dying."
The crowd murmured in alarm.
```
"Who the hell is it?"
"So frustrating, too frustrating! Aren’t we all influential Combined Daoist Cultivators, yet here on this small boat, we’re being slaughtered without rhy or reason!"
"Should we... go back? Not that I, Old Xu, am afraid to die, but if we were to see that legendary Mystic Immortal Boat and heard the Dao, dying after that would be acceptable. What even is this situation now? If word gets out, we’d probably lose all our honor."
...
"Quiet!" Guan Xingxiu snapped impatiently, interrupting the crowd’s discussion.
"From now on, we move together. No one separates."
"It’s not a Catastrophe from the void, but soone has reached Enlightennt and has committed murder."
Guan Xingxiu’s words stirred up a storm.
"What did you say?"
"Old Guan, have you gone mad? Although you are the head of the Defense Institute and specifically in charge here, isn’t this too outrageous?"
Guan Xingxiu waved his hand, suppressing the voices of the crowd.
"I say this for good reason."
Behind Guan Xingxiu, a small golden sword rose into the air.
After circling in the air, it instantly flew towards the body of Jing Re lying on the ground.
A faintly visible Black Thread was cut from the body by the golden sword.
Guan Xingxiu pinched this thread, which seed to have a life of its own and was still struggling frantically.
After observing for a while, Lan Yu said sowhat incredulously, "Xingxiu, do you an that the murderer killed those people easily using this thread?"
Guan Xingxiu, who had considerable respect for Lan Yu, nodded and said, "It appears so for now."
"If any of you doubt it, you can try the power of this Black Thread for yourself."
"I’ll do it!" Sun Luchang volunteered bravely.
Soon, the experint ended with several holes poked in his body.
This was still under the suppression of the Golden Falling Star Divine Sword.
"How could this be possible? Just a single thread, yet so powerful?" Sun Luchang seed a bit dispirited.
The other Unity-Path Cultivators also looked incredulous.
Guan Xingxiu scanned the crowd and spoke loudly, "Everyone, I know that in the Immortal Alliance, each of you holds an important position and is highly respected. But don’t forget, we are now in the midst of the Star Sea!"
"You must also feel that the laws of this Star Sea are much stronger than those of the Xuanhuang World. Along with the absence of the Heavenly Sovereign’s restrictions, those who have been suppressed for a long ti and suddenly reach Enlightennt... their realm advancing by leaps and bounds is not impossible!"
Sun Luchang, sowhat unwillingly, said, "Even so, can the gap be so great? It’s one thing to be defeated, but not even a struggle or a sound... If he really has such power, why didn’t he simply kill us all?"
Sun Luchang’s words t with the agreent of others.
anwhile, Lan Yu spoke up, "Perhaps, it’s because this person’s Techniques are rather special. It’s not a sheer overpowering of strength but a battle that occurs within the Divine Soul, causing no energy fluctuation."
"As for this Black Thread, it’s the dium for launching attacks."
As the most senior among them, Lan Yu’s words gradually convinced the crowd.
"If that’s the case, let’s find this bastard by following the trail!"
On everyone’s suggestion, Guan Xingxiu had each surviving Unity-Path Cultivator co into contact with the Black Thread.
They found no connection with anyone.
"This murderer is cautious and cunning, certainly not leaving such an obvious loophole. It seems to more like a deliberate misdirection," said a Unity-Path Cultivator nad Purple Wood.
"There’s also a possibility that he didn’t expect that Brother Guan would progress so swiftly and manage to detect the traces he left," imdiately, there were differing opinions among the crowd.
"Brother Guan, how exactly did you reach Enlightennt? In this vast Dark Starry Sky, I really haven’t grasped anything!"
"Yes, Old Guan, please enlighten us all. With the hidden murderer lurking dangerously, only if each of us gains so enlightennt and increases our strength can we avoid being defeated one by one."
Amidst the clamor, Guan Xingxiu, having no choice, began recounting the event of his sudden enlightennt.
