Chapter 233: Grand Dao Level, Destruction and Death

The appearance of green fortune immortal elixir means the immortal carved stone boat is definitely nearby.

Because Fang Xu knew very well, this green fortune immortal elixir is exactly the bait the immortal carved stone boat uses to attract sea monsters.

Back then, too, the emergence of this green fortune immortal elixir in the eastern sea of the Yu State attracted a large number of sea monsters, including Chang Long, to gather nearby.

Finally, after a burst of the immortal carved stone boat, all sea beasts in the nearby waters were completely slaughtered.

"Xiao Long, go check ahead!"

Fang Xu spoke.

Xiao Long's body suddenly accelerated, swimming toward the distant seabed mountain range.

The dim seabed had almost no light.

Xiao Long's body roamed the seabed; when passing some sea beasts, those beasts, though wary of Xiao Long's pure dragon aura, did not immediately flee.

Because this sea area occasionally produces fortune immortal elixir, which has a deadly attraction for them.

Before they could fear the fortune immortal elixir, they obviously hesitated about the former.

Xiao Long also did not launch an attack against them.

She was quite clear that her goal for this trip was the immortal carved stone boat.

Her body shuttled through the seabed, passing over one undulating seabed mountain range after another, and soon arrived before a huge seabed trench.

"Fang Xu, look quickly!"

On Xiao Long's back, Gu Yu Xi suddenly pointed at the profound seabed trench and shouted.

Fang Xu turned his head and, to his astonishment, discovered a huge stone boat lying still in the depths of the trench.

"That's it!"

"Immortal Carved Stone Boat!"

Fang Xu murmured.

"Xiao Long, go down."

"No." Beneath him, Xiao Long, his dragon eyes solemn, said: "That thing feels too dangerous to me."

"Moreover, the pressure at that trench's depth is too great; if we rashly go down, we are very likely to be imprisoned by that pressure."

Hearing that, Fang Xu and Gu Yu Xi exchanged a glance.

Although Xiao Long is a pure-blooded dragon, his current strength is relatively weak, only just below the early stage of the Dharma Appearance Realm.

The current depth already counts as her limit for diving.

The deep-sea trench where the immortal carved stone boat lies is far deeper than their current depth.

In such deep-sea places, the deeper you go, the greater the water pressure.

"Let Xiao Long stay here; the two of us will go down to have a look." Gu Yu Xi said.

The immortal carved stone boat is too important; he doesn't want to give it up.

Fang Xu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said: "Xiao Long, you wait here for us."

"If we don't come back after a long time, you can go back first."

Xiao Long nodded.

Although she also really wanted to go down to see the true appearance of the immortal carved stone boat,

but the water pressure plus the aura emanating from the immortal carved stone boat that made her feel dread deep in her bones made her abandon that idea.

"Be careful."

"Although I'm not sure what this thing exactly is, I can feel that it's very dangerous."

In his previous life he was a divine dragon; after rebirth, although his strength greatly diminished, that fear from deep within his soul made Xiao Long clear that the so-called immortal carved stone boat is absolutely a great ominous weapon.

"Alright, you be careful; if anything goes wrong later, you must escape as quickly as possible." Fang Xu instructed.

If the immortal carved stone boat were to burst later, he wouldn't want Xiao Long to also die in this deep sea.

After instructing Xiao Long, he and Gu Yu Xi swam toward the deep-sea trench.

As the two drew nearer to the immortal carved stone boat, the surrounding water pressure grew greater.

At this depth, ordinary spiritual artifacts would likely be crushed into powder.

However, this pressure is still tolerable for Gu Yu Xi and him.

After all, Gu Yu Xi's body was a true god in his previous life.

And Fang Xu, in that deficient world back then, had devoured a large amount of the She Yu King's essence, his physical strength already surpassing the God-Communion Realm.

More importantly, facing this pressure, four vortex phantasms gradually appeared behind Fang Xu.

With the appearance of the vortex phantasms, the surrounding seawater was squeezed apart, drastically reducing the pressure he bore.

"What a terrifying aura!"

After approaching the immortal carved stone boat a certain distance, Gu Yu Xi suddenly spoke.

At that distance, the terrifying aura emanating from the immortal carved stone boat became very obvious.

Fang Xu did not speak.

The last time he entered the immortal carved stone boat, he also felt this aura.

But at that time he did not understand what this aura was.

This time, upon feeling this aura again, he suddenly had a new discovery.

Destruction, death……

The aura emanating from the immortal carved stone boat is exactly that of the two laws of destruction and death.

But the aura of these two laws is so strong that it makes him feel that the laws of destruction and death are stronger than the other laws.

"Senior, the aura of the laws on this……"

"That is the aura of the Great Dao." Before Fang Xu could finish, Gu Yu Xi said with a solemn expression: "This stone boat is more terrifying than I imagined."

On it, there actually exists such a strong aura of the Dao of Destruction and the Dao of Death.

Great Dao!?

Fang Xu looked somewhat astonished at the Immortal-carved Stone Boat.

The power of the Dao surpasses the laws.

Since the Immortal-carved Stone Boat possesses the aura of the Dao, this proves it is at least a Dao-level item.

Or it is a supreme treasure possessing two kinds of Dao!

The two continued to approach while withstanding the pressure.

Soon they arrived before the Immortal-carved Stone Boat.

Fang Xu was about to enter, but Gu Yuxi gestured for him to first examine the stone boat's surface.

The two surrounded the huge stone boat and began to inspect it carefully.

The whole stone boat looks like ordinary bluestone construction, its surface covered with traces left by time.

Although it has been soaked in seawater year-round, there is no moss or water stains on it.

The stone boat is huge, yet it appears as if carved from a single piece, with no seams or joints.

The blue stone boat itself bears some intricate patterns.

These patterns seem to be the natural grain of the bluestone, not artificial carving.

After examining it back and forth, they found nothing noteworthy, so they decided to go inside first.

"Senior, follow me."

Having entered the Immortal-carved Stone Boat once before, Fang Xu knew exactly where its entrance was.

Bringing Gu Yuxi, they smoothly entered the cabin through the entrance, and the pressure on their bodies instantly vanished.

After setting foot on solid ground, Gu Yuxi quickly tried to release his soul power to inspect the interior of the stone boat.

But as his soul power just began to emerge, the entire stone boat suddenly trembled.

Then, a terrifying suction force came!

Gu Yuxi's soul power was directly locked onto by this suction!

Under this terrifying suction, even though Gu Yuxi's soul strength had surpassed the Divine Communion realm and possessed many exquisite soul techniques, he could not resist it for a moment.

Whoosh!

Seeing this, Fang Xu waved his hand and slashed out a dark-blue sword light!

The sword light directly cut off the point of Gu Yuxi's soul power that had been locked.

Whoosh!

The terrifying suction tore that wisp of soul power away, pulling it back into the distance.

Gu Yuxi's face turned pale, his expression somewhat painful.

Because Fang Xu's sword just now directly struck his soul, cutting off a considerable portion of it.

But he did not blame Fang Xu.

After all, if not for Fang Xu's sword, his soul would likely have been gradually sucked away.

"Be careful; here one must absolutely not use soul power."

Having suffered a dark loss once, Gu Yuxi quickly spoke up.

Fang Xu nodded.

Since soul power cannot be used, if the two want to examine the entire Immortal-carved Stone Boat, they can only rely on visual observation.

The Immortal-carved Stone Boat looks not too big from the outside, but its interior space is far from that.

The two proceeded forward and soon arrived at a spacious platform.

Glancing at the documents placed on the platform, as well as some wind-dried fruits and vegetables and wine jars, Fang Xu frowned slightly and said: "There must have been many people living inside the stone boat before."

Approaching the wine jars, he picked one up and saw that it was already empty inside.

As for those withered fruits and vegetables, Fang Xu happily discovered that although their flesh had been wind-dried, the seeds inside were still good.

The person capable of controlling the Immortal-carved Stone Boat should not be too weak.

The being able to forge the Immortal-carved Stone Boat is even more terrifying.

Such a cultivator's daily fruits and vegetables, and the fine wine they drink, would certainly not be inferior.

Bringing these seeds back to plant them might yield some supreme immortal fruits.

Even if they cannot sprout, these seeds are still excellent materials for alchemy.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and collected everything on the documents before him into his Heaven-and-earth Ring.

"Take these documents as well." Gu Yuxi said.

Fang Xu said somewhat astonished: "Senior, is that really necessary?"

"As for the seeds and such, I only take them if they're useful, but these documents..."

"You're sure you don't want them?" Gu Yuxi said with a half-smile.

Seeing this, Fang Xu quickly crouched down to carefully examine these documents.

"This is..."

"Agarwood?"

Gu Yuxi smiled faintly: "It's agarwood that is over ten thousand years old."

"Moreover, there are many good things on these documents."

Saying this, he lightly waved his hand.

A gray energy swept over, and beside each document in front of them, blurry illusions gradually appeared.

These illusions included elderly figures with immortal bearing, stunningly beautiful women, and various other forms.

This is!!

Fang Xu looked at Gu Yuxi with some surprise.

Objects have spirits; these case files are all made from agarwood aged over ten thousand years, and they themselves possess a certain spiritual intelligence.

Moreover, these people inside the stone boat sit year-round, discussing the Dao again and again, receiving nourishment from the great Dao's principles, so these case files are no longer mundane.

Without hesitation, he said, each case file together with the futon beside it is a Dao-understanding divine artifact.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xu waved his hand and collected all the case files and futons before him into his heaven-earth ring.

Nonsense!

Who would dislike having more Dao-understanding divine artifacts?

Don't turn it down for nothing.

Gu Yuxi couldn't help laughing at the sight.

The two continued forward.

Soon they arrived at the place where Fang Xu had first discovered the purification pool.

Last time, he had almost completely scavenged all the creation immortal liquid from the purification pool.

But now.

The purification pool now has a lot more creation immortal liquid.

It seems the Immortal Inscription Stone Boat hasn't been idle during this time.

Purification pool!

Looking at the purification pool before him, Gu Yuxi sighed, 'I never expected someone could actually create something born of heaven and earth!'

What kind of existence is the owner of this stone boat!!

Anything born of heaven and earth inherently contains the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Simply put, the purification pool is something that contains the Creator's secrets.

Now, this thing has been manufactured by someone using great means.

The person who created this thing definitely possesses strength comparable to the Creator.

Now, Gu Yuxi can be certain that this Immortal Inscription Stone Boat is definitely not something the Heavenly Profound Realm can possess.

Its appearance in the Heavenly Profound Realm is probably just a coincidence passing through.

Fang Xu, we must now find the core that controls the Immortal Inscription Stone Boat.

If we find the core and refine it, perhaps we can control the entire stone boat.

Something comparable to the great Dao—if we cannot make it our own, would it not be life's greatest regret?

The two also didn't bother with the creation immortal liquid in the purification pool, and began searching inside the stone boat for the key to controlling the entire vessel.

During this time, the two also encountered some secret rooms and chambers.

Inside the rooms, they also discovered some personal belongings of those people on the stone boat.

However, whether weapons or some silk brocade with inscribed text, jade tablets, the two could neither understand nor use them.

Time trickled by.

Outside the Immortal Inscription Stone Boat, Xiao Long kept staring fixedly at the stone boat grounded in the deep-sea trench.

How has it taken so long?

Still not out?

She didn't know the time, but she could feel that Fang Xu and Gu Yuxi had been down there for a long while.

Bored, Xiao Long could only catch some sea-bottom demon beasts around to fill his stomach, and when idle he would also chase after the creation immortal liquid that seeped out from the stone boat.

As a pure-blooded dragon clan, her bloodline is nearly perfect; for her, this level of creation immortal liquid has little effect.

That day, Xiao Long was chasing a blue swordfish demon.

The surrounding seawater suddenly transmitted a slight vibration.

Immediately after, a terrifying energy ripple suddenly burst forth from the deep-sea trench where the Immortal Inscription Stone Boat was located!

Wherever the energy ripple passed, the surrounding seabed mountain ranges silently turned to fine dust!

You should know, such seabed mountain ranges, long subjected to terrifying pressure compression, have already reached an astonishing level of hardness!

Even so, under the energy ripple erupted from the Immortal Inscription Stone Boat, they were instantly pulverized.

The energy ripple spread quickly, wave after wave sweeping in all directions!

Seeing the rapidly approaching ripple, Xiao Long was horrified!

A sense of mortal danger arose in her heart; she immediately gave up on the swordfish demon before her and swiftly swam toward the sea surface!

Behind her, the powerful sea demon beasts caught by the energy ripple continually turned into blood mist!

Xiao Long struggled to burst out of the water surface, not daring to linger, and directly shot up above the cloud layer!

Below, the white ripple rapidly surged toward the distance!

Visible to the naked eye, many sea demon beasts trying to flee vanished instantly upon being hit by the ripple.

No one knows how far the ripple spread.

Xiao Long, in the clouds, only saw the blood mist formed from those sea demon beasts, under a force's pull, rapidly converging toward the location of the Immortal Inscription Stone Boat!

How terrifying!

Above the cloud layer, Xiao Long stared in shock at everything before her.

After those blood mists were completely absorbed, she only then slowly returned to the sea surface.

Fang Xu!

Thinking that Fang Xu and Gu Yuxi were still below, she immediately wanted to go down to look for them.

But she had only just begun to descend not long.

A low, distant horn call from an empty valley suddenly rang out!

Immediately after, before Xiao Long could figure out what was happening, he saw a huge object suddenly rise from the seabed trench!

It was the Immortal Carved Stone Boat!

After the Immortal Carved Stone Boat slowly rose from the seabed trench, it then slowly sailed off into the distance.

Looking at the Stone Boat, Xiao Long froze for a moment, then, suppressing the fear rising from his bloodline, he quickly chased after the Immortal Carved Stone Boat.

Because Fang Xu and Guyuxi were still inside the Stone Boat. (End of chapter)
