Chapter 445: Luo Caisi Was Taken Away
“That, I really don’t know about,” replied the Hundred-Stone King with a shake of his head.
He had only been to the Leviathan Ruins Sea; that place is filled with so many forces that he couldn’t possibly know which faction was collecting the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag.
Lan Xiaobu had already learned nearly everything there was to know about the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
He had sent the Hundred-Stone King to control the Cycle Cauldron, while he himself planned to recall the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag to the Moon Spirit Immortal Domain.
It was Lan Xiaobu himself who had found the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag.
That flag was intended to protect the thirty-six Immortal Domains of the Immortal World.
What is this Leviathan Ruins Sea anyway? As if it could ever dare to claim his flag!
The formation base of the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk had been activated by Lan Xiaobu, and the space around its base wavered in successive ripples.
Lan Xiaobu immediately pinpointed the location of the flag—it turned out not to be very far from them at all.
Moreover, it seemed that they were drawing ever closer to that flag.
Looking at the direction in which the Cycle Cauldron was headed—the Leviathan Ruins Sea—it was clear that since their distance to the flag was shrinking, the only possibility was that the other party was also headed toward the Leviathan Ruins Sea; only they were moving a little slower than Lan Xiaobu’s team.
Thinking along these lines, Lan Xiaobu delayed taking further action and took out his Void Orientation Formation Plate.
This Void Orientation Formation Plate had been acquired from that burly man with the tangle of beard; according to the Hundred-Stone King, that burly fellow was from the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
Since he was from there, it should contain the location of the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
Lan Xiaobu sent his divine sense into the Void Orientation Formation Plate.
As he thought of the Leviathan Ruins Sea, the plate instantly displayed its location.
Lan Xiaobu was overjoyed—he truly possessed a hidden treasure he hadn’t even realized.
If he had known that the Void Orientation Formation Plate could reveal the Leviathan Ruins Sea’s location, he wouldn’t have bothered searching for that Twin Moon Merchant Guild.
Then again, it turned out for the better.
In going after the Twin Moon Merchant Guild, he ended up saving Wu Qiancheng.
Not only that, but he also obtained some useful information about the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
Previously, apart from a few extremely valuable treasures, the other items from the burly man had been carelessly tossed aside by Lan Xiaobu.
Since the other party came from the Leviathan Ruins Sea, there might have been something useful among them.
This time, Lan Xiaobu carefully inspected them, and he soon found an identity jade token and some notes from the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
The identity jade token bore a few words: “Mu Buyu, Luan Reef Island, Imperial Son-in-Law.” Apparently the burly man’s name was Mu Buyu, he came from Luan Reef Island in the Leviathan Ruins Sea, and he was even an imperial son-in-law on Luan Reef Island.
Lan Xiaobu tucked away the identity jade token.
When needed in the future, he would arrange an encounter with Mu Buyu.
After leaving the room, Lan Xiaobu said to the Hundred-Stone King, “You’re free to go now. I plan to head to the Leviathan Ruins Sea myself, so you no longer need to guide me.”
The Hundred-Stone King was taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up. “Thank you, Five Universe King. I shall take my leave then.”
After following Lan Xiaobu’s lead for such a long stretch, the Hundred-Stone King was more than happy to be set free.
In truth, after arriving at this place, he had already decided to return to the Leviathan Ruins Sea on his own.
No matter how fast the Cycle Cauldron was, he wasn’t willing to travel with Lan Xiaobu.
Traveling together was far too dangerous.
Now that Lan Xiaobu let him go, his heart could only feel relieved.
After the Hundred-Stone King left, Lan Xiaobu took out his Void Orientation Plate to lock onto the Leviathan Ruins Sea—a much more convenient method than relying on experience alone to head there.
The Cycle Cauldron accelerated to its maximum speed, and in only half a month’s time, Lan Xiaobu detected the location of the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag.
It turned out to be on a huge Void Immortal Ship.
Lan Xiaobu then concealed himself by transforming into a meteorite.
As he barely brushed past the flying ship, he slipped aboard it.
The restrictions on the Void Immortal Ship were not weak—they were all Ninth-Level Immortal Formations.
Yet to Lan Xiaobu, the difference between a Ninth-Level and a First-Level Immortal Formation was not significant.
The flying ship was divided into three levels, each remarkably spacious.
The lowest level was clearly meant for low-level cultivators to live in; the Immortal Spiritual Qi there was scarce, and the living spaces were cramped.
The second level was better, with some shops in it.
As for the third level, that was clearly reserved for people of high standing.
Not only were there no shops there, the residences were incredibly spacious.
The Heavenly Gang Formation Flag was held by a young man on the third level.
When Lan Xiaobu sneaked onto the third floor, he found the young man studying the flag intently.
Perhaps alerted by Lan Xiaobu’s divine sense, the young man quickly put away the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag and his eyes swept over the spot where Lan Xiaobu was hiding.
But by that point, Lan Xiaobu had already transformed into a wooden block.
The young man searched the hiding spot thoroughly, found nothing, and felt that perhaps he was overthinking.
In that brief time, it was enough for Lan Xiaobu to leave his mark on the other party.
The Void Formation Mark he left—let it be said that not even if the other person was merely an ordinary Immortal Emperor, and even if he were stronger, would he be able to notice it.
Lan Xiaobu’s main purpose in coming here was simply to leave a mark.
He wanted to know exactly who was after the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag.
After an hour, Lan Xiaobu left the flying ship’s magical apparatus.
Even then, he did not take the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag.
If he now seized the flag, it might cause the opposing party to return to the Immortal World.
He merely wanted to know which faction was searching for the flag.
Once the flag reached the Leviathan Ruins Sea, he could reclaim it later.
Having done all this, the Cycle Cauldron once again accelerated at full speed, dashing toward the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
Without any ancient path assisting him, Lan Xiaobu set up his own control formation.
Otherwise, after flying for more than ten years in the Cycle Cauldron, he could not afford to waste that time controlling his flying magical artifact.
While the Cycle Cauldron was speeding swiftly through the void, Lan Xiaobu entered it to cultivate.
He now had cultivation resources in abundance, though unfortunately he did not possess the top-level resource of Divine Spiritual Qi.
Even his premium Immortal Vein was only passable.
The Kunpeng Hao, a Void Immortal Ship, is rather famous in the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
It is not only fast but its hull is very spacious, its reputation is decent, and its price is acceptable.
That is why many people traveling between the Immortal World and the Leviathan Ruins Sea prefer to ride the Kunpeng Hao.
The Kunpeng Hao has five complete levels.
The very bottom level is not for living; it is generally used for arranging Immortal Veins.
Levels two, three, and five are where cultivators live, while the fourth level is a marketplace, making it easy for cultivators to exchange goods and shop.
Even though the Kunpeng Hao is swift, it still takes over a hundred years for it to travel from the Immortal World back to the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
That is why the fourth level is the busiest place on the ship.
At this moment, on the fourth-level marketplace, people were coming and going.
Four people—a group of two men and two women—were wandering about the market while chatting casually.
Their cultivation levels were not particularly high; the strongest among them was roughly at the level of a great Immortal cultivator, while the others were at the Great Yi Immortal stage.
“Sigh, if only I could refine pills, I would definitely produce heaps of Ultimate Radiance Pills. Then, I’d give each of you a basketful. Oh, and Brother Zhu doesn’t need one anymore; he’s already at the great Immortal stage,” said the smallest of the four, a petite young woman named Liang Xuan.
Though small in stature, she had a bold and straightforward personality.
Another woman said, “I’m just so content to be wandering the marketplace with you all. I still have no news about my senior sister. Sigh, I never would have thought that this place doesn’t allow sending messages. Now I don’t even have my communication bead.”
“You Junior Sister Caisi, don’t worry,” Liang Xuan said, “a hundred years is nothing to us. Once we reach the Leviathan Ruins Sea, you can send your senior sister a message. The Kunpeng Hao runs constantly between the Immortal World and the Leviathan Ruins Sea—even if it’s a few hundred years late, it’s nothing too severe.”
Caisi, as she was called, fell silent.
Not only was she thinking about her senior sister and master, she also felt foolish—must everyone be able to cultivate immortal arts? It was only by a series of fortunate accidents that she obtained a cultivation method, and only then did she meet her master.
Lan Xiaobu probably would not be as lucky as her.
Sigh…
She was exactly the Luo Caisi that Lan Xiaobu was searching for, though while Lan Xiaobu knew that Luo Caisi had already embarked on the path of cultivation, she herself had not yet grasped how Lan Xiaobu might progress.
Not a single mistake in the unfolding of events, one after another, things went on as written!
After the Mysterious River Immortal Domain had been refined away, luckily Nie Xiangyu’s strength and resourcefulness allowed her to escape from it, taking the group with her.
Luo Caisi was relatively fortunate; while fleeing through the void, she encountered Liang Xuan, Dong Anhan, and Zhu Ke—three people who were risking their lives on their way to the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
None of the three were cunning individuals.
Their talent wasn’t particularly high, so they had banded together while wandering the void.
Sometimes they even went to various Immortal Domains to seek cultivation resources.
After years of hard work, all three had reached the stage of Great Yi Immortal or even the later phase of great Immortal cultivators.
“The Leviathan Ruins Sea is extremely dangerous. Once we arrive, we must exercise extreme caution. Otherwise, a small mistake could cost us our lives,” said Dong Anhan.
Of the four, Dong Anhan was the most careful-minded; he often thought of the most, yet he was not a malicious person.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to travel with Zhu Ke and Liang Xuan for so many years.
Zhu Ke nodded. “Yes, we won’t go after those rare celestial treasures. As long as we can find cultivation resources suitable for us, that’s enough. Most important of all: we must avoid offending any powerful figures.”
Among the four, Zhu Ke was the most powerful, well into the later stages of a great Immortal.
But he was also the most straightforward and generous, almost exuding a kind of rustic enthusiasm.
In the void, many things were solved by Zhu Ke alone on behalf of the group.
“Hey, up ahead there’s another Pill Pavilion. Let’s go take a look for a change—nice to have a little diversion,” Liang Xuan interrupted Zhu Ke and Dong Anhan.
In her opinion, they were still far from the Leviathan Ruins Sea.
Why worry so much at this point?
No one else had a chance to reply when suddenly a man appeared before the four.
He was, at the very least, a cultivator at the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage.
The four quickly stepped aside.
When confronting a formidable expert, they would all naturally try to avoid conflict—a fact learned from years of surviving together.
Also, this man was wearing an official uniform of a bodyguard; clearly he was an official of the Kunpeng Hao.
However, the man did not leave.
He swept his gaze over the four, and when his eyes fell upon Luo Caisi, a flicker of surprise crossed his face as he thought to himself that she was a remarkably spirited and beautiful woman.
“Which one among you is Luo Caisi?” Luo Caisi quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, “I am Luo Caisi. Greetings, senior.”
The Great Luo Golden Immortal nodded, “Luo Caisi, you previously broke the rules of the Immortal Ship by sending out a message unauthorized on board.”
A look of panic crossed Luo Caisi’s face as she stammered, “Senior, I truly did not know of this rule. Besides, my communication bead was confiscated.”
The great cultivator waved his hand dismissively, “It doesn’t help me to hear these excuses. Go and report this matter to our superiors.”
“Senior, there really has been a misunderstanding. Luo Caisi genuinely did not know…” Zhu Ke hurriedly stepped forward in a respectful manner.
“Scram! You dare to interfere with the Immortal Ship’s business?” The Great Luo Golden Immortal suddenly lashed out with a palm, sending Zhu Ke flying several yards away.
He crashed against the protective formation setup at the doorway of a shop, spitting out a few teeth in the process.
