Chapter 2035: Chapter 1580: Mysterious Merchant Never Leaves

This time, it was silently resolved again, not existing within primordial possibilities.

But instead of going to the world of Mount Garbage, it went to other, even more distant possibilities.

So distant, even Li Fan lost perception of that part of the Dao Network.

Although theoretically they still exist, they have already exceeded the scope Li Fan can control, rendering them as good as lost. Furthermore, Li Fan was quite wary of such uncontrollable situations.

After pondering for a while, he abandoned the act of probing further with the Net of Infinite Aspects.

He simply used other Taoist Principles he mastered to perform continuous, saturated strikes.

The Immortal Array multiplied, replacing the blockade of the Cone Dao. Infinite Sword Light shone from within the Array Technique, dispelling the last remnants of the Master of Holy Commerce’s power.

The Demon Sound echoed, a gigantic illusory Pill Furnace slowly took form, engulfing the Master of Holy Commerce within.

At this moment, the Master of Holy Commerce was like a sandbag, enduring Li Fan’s reckless and relentless strikes like a storm.

The protective methods on his body to transfer attacks eventually had a limit of endurance.

The earlier siege by the Group of Immortals from the Sea of the Northern Stars had already depleted him considerably. After Li Fan’s continuous saturated strikes, it finally reached its limit.

As if stars exploded, transforming into spots of white light, ultimately dissipating.

Without this protective measure, the Master of Holy Commerce appeared like a Mortal before Li Fan.

In an instant, he was suppressed and confined within the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.

Li Fan nodded with satisfaction, looking around. The Group of Immortals from the Sea of the Northern Stars had already scattered like birds and beasts.

A few, who still harbored some hope for the Master of Holy Commerce, after witnessing Li Fan first defeat the Cone Immortal and then break through the defenses with Thunder’s tactics, also abandoned their thoughts and left hastily.

“Escape… but where could you possibly flee?” Li Fan chuckled softly.

Yet, he didn’t pursue, even though he had already mastered all the escape routes of the Various Immortals.

Li Fan plans to leave these individuals to the Harmonization True Immortals about to emerge from the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm for training purposes.

The Sea of the Northern Stars was merely an appetizer before the battle, while the Guangwu Star Sea far away is Li Fan’s true expedition target.

With a thought, Li Fan had already returned to the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm.

Beyond the Heavens, he began attempting to invade the thoughts of the Master of Holy Commerce.

Beside him, the orange cat Pipa manifested its figure, calling out a few times toward the Master of Holy Commerce, issuing ruthless mockery.

In a short time, their identities had swapped.

Yet, the Master of Holy Commerce didn’t even have emotions of grief or indignation.

When Li Fan entered his inner world, he saw that previous moment when the Merchant Immortal Boat was destroyed.

Time seemed frozen at this moment.

The Master of Holy Commerce repeatedly experienced it, overwhelmed by regret and helplessness.

“His thoughts are fully consumed by the idea of wanting to save the Merchant Immortal Boat. Even the past memories are submerged, hard to explore.”

“Given this…”

Li Fan lightly snapped his fingers.

When the Merchant Immortal Boat was again swallowed by the explosion’s light, and the Master of Holy Commerce exclaimed “Eternal.”

The Merchant Immortal Boat, which had clearly disappeared, surprisingly reappeared in the void!

The Experimental Space imprisoning Kitty Treasure, and the various buildings within the Immortal Boat, as well as every resident of the Immortal Boat, were identical to before!

Looking at all this in front of him, the crazed Master of Holy Commerce was inexplicably dumbfounded.

“Returned…came back?”

Two lines of tears involuntarily fell. Only after half a day did he slowly recover from the stupor.

His heart still found it hard to believe; the Master of Holy Commerce flickered back and forth throughout every corner of the Merchant Immortal Boat, repeatedly looking at those familiar people, events, and objects from memory.

No flaws were found.

Everything was just like reality.

“Was it merely a nightmare just now?”

“A divine reminder, telling me even the Eternal Tao cannot be overly relied upon.” The Master of Holy Commerce felt a bout of distraction.

“I remember now. The Saint Ancestor actually reminded this before, specially exhorting before departure that apart from the Eternal Tao, another life-saving method be kept at the bottom of the chest. At the time of the Immortal Boat’s division, in reality, the Saint Ancestor incited it secretly. Otherwise, even if there were differing opinions on the plan to collide with the High Wall, how could all the power controlled under the Saint Ancestor with the Mystic Immortal Boat possibly lead to division.”

“If the Merchant Immortal Boat is entirely destroyed, one could return to the High Wall within to find the Mystic Immortal Boat. The deepest part of the Mystic Immortal Boat’s treasure house secretly houses the Merchant Immortal Boat’s original backup. Likewise, within our Merchant Immortal Boat, there is a backup from when the Mystic Immortal Boat was in its divided state. As they say, where there is Guang, there is Commercial, and vice versa. Separated in two starry skies, as long as either the Mystic Immortal Boat or the Merchant Immortal Boat persists, the Mystic Immortal Boat eternally sustains.”

“Additionally, within the High Wall where the Mystic Immortal Boat resides, it is much safer than the Sea of the Northern Stars. With the numerous treasures they divided at that time, surely steady development endures, equating to the Merchant Immortal Boat forever having a retreat.”

“This secret is known only to the Master of Holy Commerce across generations. Yet, over the past years, the Immortal Boat’s reliance and abuse of the Eternal Tao have grown increasingly severe. Whatever disaster occurred, Eternity could restore the Immortal Boat to its initial state. Over time, even the Master of Holy Commerce across generations slowly forgot the life-saving strategies left by the initial Holy Master…”

“In my daze, seeing the Immortal Boat destroyed, my mental state collapsed, almost forgetting this matter.”

“Luckily, it was only an illusion.” The Master of Holy Commerce muttered to himself.

“Is it possible this is the initial Holy Master’s divine reminder, urging me to return within the Wall?”
