Chapter 397: Chapter 373: Deep Stream of Qing River

Everyone seemed to be used to Li Fan’s vast knowledge and intelligence.

Huang Fusong was not at all surprised by the tricky and strange question raised by Li Fan.

He just sneered and returned the question: “If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask?”

“If you’re really curious, why not wait and experience it yourself shortly.”

Having been rebuked by Huang Fusong, Li Fan didn’t mind at all.

Based on his limited understanding, the Tianxuan Mirror was intricately connected to the treasure [Xuan Tian Treasure Mirror] of the Ancient Xuan Tian Sect.

Therefore, the Spirit Transforming Stone and the Absolute Immortal Stone might probably be the same thing.

Huang Fusong’s words inadvertently struck the truth, speaking nothing but the truth.

He had once used the Absolute Immortal Stone in the Fallen Immortal Realm.

When he sees the Spirit Transforming Stone later, he will naturally know whether or not they are the same thing.

The Ten Thousand Mile Flame Burning Beach was genuinely a land covered in flames for ten thousand miles.

After a few days of fast travel aboard the Dustcrosser Boat, all Li Fan had seen were apocalyptic desolate landscapes that never changed.

There was nothing in the world that persisted other than the intense heat, with no sign of any other living creatures.

During this journey, explosive magma would occasionally burst out from the ground.

It looked like a dark red dragon leaping from an abyss, stirring chaos and turbulence in the surrounding space.

Facing such a horrifying scene, the Dustcrosser Boat had no choice but to detour.

The danger didn’t just come from below.

Deadly crises would descend from the sky without warning.

Unpredictably, meteor showers would streak across the sky.

Upon collision with the ground, a horrific celestial destructive energy would erupt.

Li Fan had once seen a giant fire meteor falling in the distance.

The shock wave that came with the flaming meteor made the Dustcrosser Boat lose control and spin around like a leaf in the wind.

“What kind of damn place is this…”

Every step on the Ten Thousand Mile Flame Burning Beach was fraught with danger, and a momentary lapse of caution could cost lives.

Seeing such a perilous place for the first time caused a feeling of heaviness in Li Fan’s heart.

Fortunately, the helmsman Huang Fusong was experienced and this was not his first time here.

After a total of five days, the group finally reached their destination without any mishap: Spirit Transforming Stream.

Without needing Huang Fusong to announce, Li Fan could tell from a long distance away.

Simply because the Spirit Transforming Stream was too distinct and peculiar in the Ten Thousand Mile Flame Burning Beach.

A slender, winding blue ravine abruptly traversed the red earth.

It appeared like an inexplicable scar, penetrating deep into the ground.

The destructive magma that was capable of annihilating everything was constantly gushing out and attacking the blue ravine along the journey.

However, the moment it got close, it instantly transitioned from red to blue.

The magma turned into a blue stream of energy that shot up high and straight into the sky.

“Be careful. There might be a bit of turbulence coming up.”

Just as the Dustcrosser Boat was about to enter the Spirit Transforming Stream, Huang Fusong’s “kind” reminder suddenly echoed in Li Fan’s ear.

No sooner had his voice faded, did the speeding Dustcrosser Boat suddenly lose all its power.

Even the momentum pushing it forward vanished.

Now, it was falling towards the bottom of the deep ravine.

Li Fan could also feel the powerful force in the Spirit Transforming Stream that could obliterate all Spiritual Energy.

For that fleeting moment, he was no different from a mortal.

His heart felt as if it rose to his throat during the rapid descent.

Inside the Dustcrosser Boat, cries of alarm were faintly audible.

Just when Li Fan almost thought they were about to crash and perish right there,

A powerful surge of energy inexplicably gushed out from the bottom of Spirit Transforming Stream.

It collided head-on with the falling Dustcrosser Boat.

As if swept by a mighty wind, the body of the boat violently rocked, its speed gradually slowing down.

When the air current disappeared, the Dustcrosser Boat just managed to stabilize with difficulty.

“Everybody out.”

At Huang Fusong’s command, everyone emerged from the cabin, gathering on the deck.

“Hahaha, Brother Huang Fu! Long time no see!”

A hearty laughter suddenly rang out. In no time, a lean, shirtless man leaped upwards from below, jumping directly onto the Dustcrosser Boat.

With a loud thud, the impact was significant.

The entire boat swayed slightly.

“Brother Dong Fang! It’s been a while!” A smile immediately filled Huang Fusong’s chubby face as he warmly walked forward, embracing Dong Fang.

“It’s been twenty-three years since we bid farewell at the [Forest of Thousand Tomes]. Brother Dong Fang, you haven’t changed a bit!”

After releasing each other, Huang Fusong gave Dong Fang a glance and praised him.

“I can’t compare to you, Brother Huang Fu. Your cultivation progress is truly enviable!” Without any reservation, Dong Fang slapped Huang Fusong’s large belly and laughed.

Huang Fusong was not annoyed at all, “Likewise, likewise!”

While the two men were exchanging pleasantries, Li Fan observed this cultivator named Dong Fang in secret.

From him, Li Fan did not sense any traces of Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

Just now, when he leaped from the rift below onto the Dustcrosser Boat, it seemed he did it purely by physical strength.

Although his physique appeared rather weak, the clearly defined lines of his muscles displayed the explosive power contained within him.

This was the first time Li Fan had encountered someone with such a physically robust body.

“Brother Huang Fu, rest here for a few days. The Great Array here will be completed in no more than half a month.” Dong Fang said to Huang Fusong.

After having said so, a strange cry suddenly emerged from his throat.

Li Fan squinted his eyes, sensing that the sound seemed strangely familiar.

Suddenly, the ‘ground’ upon which the Dustcrosser Boat stood started swaying.

A resounding and ancient cry echoed from the ground.

Then, the ‘ground’ started to fly and move.

The journey continued downwards, delving deeper into the Spirit Transforming Stream.

“This is…”

“Rift Realm Whale?”

Li Fan was slightly stunned.

Amidst the exclamations of surprise of the people on the boat, he finally understood that what was carrying the Dustcrosser Boat was not the ground.

It was a massive, black Exotic Beast.

Judging by its appearance, it was similar to the Rift Realm Whale that Li Fan had seen before, which sealed the Mortal’s Small World.

“The air current that stopped the Dustcrosser Boat from falling earlier seemed to have been emitted by this Exotic Whale.”

While the giant beast continued to dive deeper, Li Fan observed carefully, lost in thought.

“It’s not a Rift Realm Whale, it’s much smaller. It just looks a bit similar, that’s all.”

The Spirit Transforming Stream seemed bottomless. The beast flew downwards for a long time and was yet to reach the bottom.

On the cliffs on both sides, many exposed green stones could be seen.

Some cultivators, wearing exotic outfits, suspended themselves in mid-air.

Wielding hammers and chisels made of unknown material, they were mining Spirit Transforming Stones.

Occasionally, they ran into Array Masters in standard Immortal Alliance attire brushing past the giant beast in haste.

It seemed as though they were not influenced by the Spirit Transforming Stones and could still utilize the Spiritual Power inside their bodies.

After all, the Spirit Transforming Stream is not really a bottomless abyss.

After approximately half a day, the Whale-like beast issued a cheerful cry.

Eventually, everyone arrived at the bottom of the Spirit Transforming Stream.

A blue-green long river crossed the deep ravine.
