However, this mysterious Green Bull Cart, evidently, was a stroke of fortune.
They were reluctant to share it gratuitously with strangers.
So next, they simply invited their own friends to explore its mysteries.
Chen An was one of them.
But although the number of explorers increased, the outcome remained unchanged.
They were all expelled, beaten chaotically.
This continued for over half a month, with no progress made.
Clearly, this group was not intelligent enough.
The moving White Mist, unavoidably, drew the attention of other cultivators.
Every day, new cultivators would discover its secrets and enter.
Even though upon learning of the situation, they all chose to keep it a secret mutually.
But they couldn’t stop the crowd outside the Green Bull Cart from growing.
Obviously, at this rate, sooner or later, everyone in the Misthaven Ocean would be aware of this.
At that time, even if there was any real opportunity here, it wouldn’t be their turn.
So, they decided to seek external help.
Intelligent external help.
Li Fan, who had made a deep impression on Chen An at the Celestial Palace of
Clouds and Waters that day, naturally became one of the targets for assistance.
“If you are interested, you can come to the vicinity of Yutang Island in the Misthaven Ocean, then there will be someone to guide you here.”
“The Green Bull Cart huh? It’s interesting,” Li Fan had not heard about this in his previous life.
However, idling doing nothing, and since there was no risk of life and death there, it wouldn’t hurt to have a look.
Li Fan prepared and arrived at Yutang Island using the Teleportation Array.
The island’s guard’s eyes brightened upon seeing Li Fan.
“You are Li Fan, aren’t you? I’m Zhou Ningchang, a friend of Chen An. Please follow me.” Without being wordy, he directly led Li Fan towards the location of the Green Bull Cart.
While flying, Zhou Ningchang explained to Li Fan the latest developments.
“Fellow Daoist Li Fan, Chen An should have told you about the general situation. This Green Bull treads on water and never stops. Although it moves slow, it’s still advancing.”
Zhou Ningchang looked a bit annoyed, “The course of the Green Bull, it is a straight line. According to our guess, it seems to be aiming for the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters in the center of Misthaven Ocean.”
“Taking into account the Green Bull’s current speed, it will enter the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters within at most another month. That mysterious place, where the bizarre runs rampant. Once the Green Bull enters, what changes will happen are really hard to predict. Therefore, we had better find a way to enter the Thatched Cottage before then.”
“Otherwise, no matter how unwilling we are, we will have to give up,” Zhou Ningchang said.
“The Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters…” Li Fan’s eyes narrowed, he hadn’t expected that the Green Bull Cart could be related to this sect that has been destroyed for thousands of years.
After finishing the explanation, both of them flew in silence. After almost half a day, they saw from a long distance a large patch of white fog on the sea surface, slowly moving.
“We are here!” said Zhou Ningchang, then he flew into the white fog first.
Li Fan had already locked onto Zhou Ningchang through the Formless Killing Machine. He activated his Heaven and Earth’s Perception technique, clearly seeing the scene behind the fog, and confirmed there was no ambush. Only then did Li Fan slowly fly into the fog.
About seventy or eighty people had gathered around the Green Bull. Most of them had bruised faces, looking rather miserable. Seeing someone new arrived, they didn’t pay much attention.
They continued to discuss loudly.
Chen An, on the other hand, waved his hand, signaling Li Fan to come over.
Li Fan came to Chen An and listened to the discussion of the group.
“The Mouthless Monster, it’s easy to figure out. It means you can’t speak, and you can’t even communicate with Divine Sense. Otherwise, you will be thrown out by it.”
“Yes, the key is the one with the stick.”
“Although being beaten doesn’t pose a life threat, it fucking hurts!” “How long have you been here? I’ve been beaten over a dozen times.”
“You know, if I don’t get beaten up one day, I feel a bit uncomfortable.”
Chen An explained to Li Fan with a bitter smile, “Having failed to find a way into the Thatched Cottage after so long, everyone can only make light of their plight.”
“All eyes are on Fellow Daoist Li Fan.”
Chen An looked at Li Fan with hopeful eyes.
Shaking his head Li Fan said, “So many people could not figure out a way for so many days, why would I be any different? You’re overestimating me, Daoist friend.”
“We can only give it a try, don’t have too much hope.”
Chen An nods, “Of course, I understand. We can only do our best.”
Then Li Fan focused his attention on the Thatched Cottage ahead.
At this time, a new arrival was attempting to enter. Li Fan’s eyes slightly squinted, observing carefully.
With the experience of others, that person cautiously approached the Thatched Cottage without uttering a word.
Then, before he could make any move, the beastly creature holding a wooden stick, suddenly glared at him furiously.
The wooden stick in his hand was swung with a powerful arc, harshly smashing into him.
The cultivator could only let out a scream, before being helplessly thrown out.
Not until flying out of the range of the Green Bull Cart could he stabilize himself in a flustered manner.
Based on the pained expression on his face, it was clear the hit was indeed severe.
“What’s his cultivation level?” Li Fan asked.
“Final Stage Foundation Establishment,” Zhou Ningchang answered.
“There’s also a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator here. But like those in the Energy Refining Stage, none of them can resist under that wooden stick.”
“As for those with higher levels, we don’t dare to ask them to come,” he added.
“No matter the level of cultivation, they’re all treated the same, eh.” Li Fan’s eyes squinted. This characteristic reminded him of the bizarre.
“Is this also a place of the bizarre?” Li Fan couldn’t help raising this question.
“If it is, then why does this bizarre not harm people?” Puzzled, Li Fan decided to give it a try himself.
So he glided silently close and landed in front of the Thatched Cottage, taking slow steps forward.
The Mouthless Monster ignored him, but the one with the wooden stick became more and more furious as he approached.
The beastly creature’s face gradually returned to normal.
Li Fan thought for a moment and moved forward again. His steps were even slower this time. But the creature did not want to play this probing game with Li Fan.
The wooden stick flew out of its hand, and harshly landed on Li Fan.
As if someone kicked him hard in the stomach, the strange force surged up, and Li Fan was uncontrollably thrown out. “Damn…” Li Fan took a sharp breath.
It really hurt.
Seeing Li Fan’s attempt failed, the crowd didn’t seem to care much. They continued discussing in groups of two or three how to redeal with this the next day.
Meanwhile, Li Fan recalled the scene just occurred, pondering over it.
The next day, everyone started to attempt again.
One by one, all of them were thrown out again.
The scene was quite amusing.
When it was Li Fan’s turn, the same happened, there was no exception.
On the third day.
The outcome still did not change.
As days passed, and the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters was getting closer and closer, it seemed that people were gradually losing their patience. Those who went to attempt started to decrease day by day.
Looking at the group of cultivators who had tried all sorts of methods in vain, Li Fan began to harbour a guess in his heart.
Therefore, when the next day came, Li Fan loudly said to the crowd: “Is there any fellow daoist at the Initial Stage of Energy Refining, willing to let go of his cultivation, and give it a try..”
