「 suǒ yǐ xīng hǎi yì shí cái huì duì xiān zhōu zhòng 【 jūn 】 de wǔ nì xíng wèi méi nà me dà fǎn yìng 、 shèn zhì hái zhǔ dòng jiē nà ……」
「所以星海意识才会对仙舟众【均】的忤逆行为没那么大反应、甚至还主动接纳……」
So, the communication technique with the star spirits was activated. The method of contacting the star sea had appeared again in a short period of time; this time, it aimed at the eighteen star spirits before him.
「 chú le fán rén shì jiǎo duì xīng hǎi ér yán shí fēn xīn xiān 、 tā yě yǒu xìng qù kuī tàn zhī wài ， gèng zhòng yào de shì ， nà jūn tiān yí shì shí jì shàng gēn běn duì xīng hǎi chǎn shēng bù liǎo rèn hé yǐng xiǎng ！」
「除了凡人视角对星海而言十分新鲜、祂也有兴趣窥探之外，更重要的是，那均天仪式实际上根本对星海产生不了任何影响！」
Compared to communicating directly with the star sea itself, interacting with the star spirits derived from cultivators was much easier.
「 zhēn zhèng de wú xiàn ！」
「真正的无限！」
The moment the Tai Jia Shen术 technique shone, the attention of the star spirits was immediately drawn. The consciousness of Li Fan also instantly connected with them.
zhǐ yào bú shì wú xiàn ， jiù suàn shù liàng zài dà ， gēn nǎ pà zhǐ yǒu yí gè rén jūn fēn 。 jié guǒ xiāng jiào yuán zhí yě zhù dìng huì bèi dà fú xuē jiǎn 。 jué duì zuò bú dào xiàng cǐ kè de xīng hǎi yì shí bān ， duì zì shēn de sǔn shī wú dòng yú zhōng 。
只要不是无限，就算数量再大，跟哪怕只有一个人均分。结果相较原值也注定会被大幅削减。绝对做不到像此刻的星海意识般，对自身的损失无动于衷。
If these star spirits were still humans, they would have been furious and full of suspicion upon seeing that Li Fan, who had participated in the ritual together with them, was not dead or transformed into a star spirit but instead was alive and well. They might even directly engage in combat without any communication.
「 zěn huì rú cǐ ？」 lǐ fán xīn zhōng mǎn shì cuò è yǔ zhèn jīng 。
「怎会如此？」李凡心中满是错愕与震惊。
However, Li Fan did not detect any emotional fluctuations from these eighteen star spirits.
【 wú xiàn 】 zhè gài niàn de chū xiàn ， wán quán chāo chū le tā de rèn zhī yǔ lǐ jiě 。
【无限】这概念的出现，完全超出了他的认知与理解。
"Star Sea, beyond the Great Wall."
zhì àn xīng hǎi suī rán guǎng kuò wú yín ， dàn lǐ fán xiàn zài yǐ jīng kě yǐ qīng sōng héng dù 。 zhè shì liàng de fāng miàn 。
至暗星海虽然广阔无垠，但李凡现在已经可以轻松横渡。这是量的方面。
"Fellow travelers, sacrifices."
xīng hǎi bèi zhēn xiān zhuàn zì de lì liàng sì nüè ， zhì xù jǐn miè 、 shēng jī qián cáng 。 zhè shì zhì dì fāng miàn 。
星海被真仙篆字的力量肆虐，秩序尽灭、生机潜藏。这是质的方面。
"Do not forget!"
wú lùn shì cóng liàng yì huò zhě zhì ， zhè piàn xīng hǎi zěn me kàn dōu zěn me gēn 【 wú xiàn 】 dā bù shàng biān 。
无论是从量亦或者质，这片星海怎么看都怎么跟【无限】搭不上边。
Li Fan briefly communicated his message to the star spirits. It seemed as if it had awakened their memories of their human lives; their human faces became much clearer in an instant.
dàn kàn zhe suí zhe yí shì jié shù 、 zǐ jīn xuán wō guān bì ， xiān zhōu jǐn cún de shí bā wèi zhǎng lǎo 、 huà zuò shí bā zūn héng gèn xīng kōng de shǎn yào jù rén 。 gǎn shòu zhe tā men shēn shàng páng bó 、 hào hàn ， jī hū děng tóng yú zhè piàn xīng hǎi běn shēn de wěi lì 。
但看着随着仪式结束、紫金漩涡关闭，仙舟仅存的十八位长老、化作十八尊横亘星空的闪耀巨人。感受着祂们身上磅礴、浩瀚，几乎等同于这片星海本身的伟力。
Their actions stopped, and they all looked at Li Fan with hesitation.
lǐ fán yòu bù yóu de xiāng xìn le xīng hǎi lì liàng de 【 wú xiàn 】。
李凡又不由的相信了星海力量的【无限】。
"Halfway through, a waste of sacrifice!"
tā chà nà jiān jiù xiǎng qǐ le zhī qián mò rú bīn céng shuō guò de 、 cóng xuán tiān wáng chù tīng lái de xiān jiè mì wén 。
他刹那间就想起了之前墨儒斌曾说过的、从玄天王处听来的仙界秘闻。
"With the aid of the Star Sea's power, crossing the Great Wall was just a matter of raising one's hand for the cultivator ship!"
「 jù shuō ， xiān jiè shì zī yuán wú qióng duō de měi hǎo shèng jìng 。」
「据说，仙界是资源无穷多的美好圣境。」
Under Li Fan's persuasion, their former thoughts and intentions gradually resurfaced.
rú tóng yī dào zhà léi ， zhè jù huà bù duàn zài lǐ fán xīn shén zhōng huí dàng 。
如同一道炸雷，这句话不断在李凡心神中回荡。
Li Fan continued to encourage them: "Even if the star sea can be revived, it will take thousands or even tens of thousands of years. The elders have already transformed into star spirits and cannot continuously protect the cultivator ship. What should the cultivator ship do in the future?!"
cǐ qián lǐ fán hái huò duō huò shǎo 、 yǒu xiē rèn wéi zhè shì xuán tiān wáng kuā dà 、 měi shì zhī yán 。 dàn xiàn zài kàn lái ， xuán tiān wáng shuō de hěn yǒu kě néng jiù shì shì shí ！
此前李凡还或多或少、有些认为这是玄天王夸大、美饰之言。但现在看来，玄天王说的很有可能就是事实！
The star spirit Zhong Daogong was finally moved by this.
xīng hǎi dōu néng zuò dào 【 wú xiàn 】， gèng hé kuàng shì nà yì lì zài xīng hǎi zhī shàng de xiān jiè ？
星海都能做到【无限】，更何况是那屹立在星海之上的仙界？
He transmitted a series of intermittent thoughts.
rú guǒ shǒu xiān jiē shòu le zhè yī jì dìng shì shí ， nà me jiē xià xū yào miàn duì de ， jiù shì wèi shén me 。
如果首先接受了这一既定事实，那么接下需要面对的，就是为什么。
It felt completely different from communicating with cultivators.
zàn qiě xiān bù lùn xiān jiè 。
暂且先不论仙界。
Star Spirit Zhong Daogong stated some facts without any emotional fluctuations.
jiù shuō yǎn qián zhè piàn zhì àn xīng hǎi ， yòu jiū jìng shì rú hé gēn 【 wú xiàn 】 guà gōu de ？
就说眼前这片至暗星海，又究竟是如何跟【无限】挂钩的？
As time passed, their original consciousness would gradually weaken until they became fully integrated into the Star Sea. Although they still had some residual subjective consciousness, they could not defy the will of the star sea and were bound to act as it dictated.
zǐ jīn xuán wō chè dǐ guān bì ， gēn shí bā zūn xīng guāng jù rén duì zhì ， lǐ fán sī niàn jí zhuǎn 。
紫金漩涡彻底关闭，跟十八尊星光巨人对峙，李凡思念急转。
However, using the power of the star sea to help the cultivator ship cross the Great Wall might be acceptable to the star sea's consciousness.
「 gāo qiáng zhǐ shì jiāng wǒ děng xīng hǎi zhōng shēng líng fēng suǒ ， dàn duì yú xīng hǎi běn shēn ér yán ， què bìng méi yǒu qǐ dào chè dǐ fēn gē de zuò yòng 。」
「高墙只是将我等星海中生灵封锁，但对于星海本身而言，却并没有起到彻底分割的作用。」
The True Immortal Inscriptions were hated by the star sea's consciousness. The star spirits could no longer use them.
「 gāo qiáng nèi de zhì àn xīng hǎi 、 gēn gāo qiáng wài de xīng hǎi ， shí zé réng shì yī tǐ 。 zhǐ bù guò xiàn zài ， zhè bèi fēng suǒ de qū yù ， chǎn shēng le xiāng duì dú lì de yì shí 。」
「高墙内的至暗星海、跟高墙外的星海，实则仍是一体。只不过现在，这被封锁的区域，产生了相对独立的意识。」
To successfully pass through the Great Wall according to the plan, Li Fan needed to assist in the process.
「 zhè shì qí zhōng yí gè kě néng 。」
「这是其中一个可能。」
More and more star spirits temporarily recovered their own thoughts and reached a consensus with Li Fan.
「 dàn …… ruò shì rú cǐ de huà 。」
「但……若是如此的话。」
Star Spirit Zhong Daogong, relying on his last residual consciousness, handed over the secret plan for the cultivator ship to cross the Great Wall.
lǐ fán níng wàng zhuó yǎn qián de xīng guāng jù rén ， píng gū zhe tā men de shí lì 。
李凡凝望着眼前的星光巨人，评估着祂们的实力。
The eighteen star spirits surrounded them and dragged the cultivator ship near the traces left by the commercial cultivator ship that had crossed the Great Wall in the past.
huò xǔ shì yīn wèi gāng gāng dàn shēng de yuán gù ， tā men xiàn zài hái yǒu xiē mí máng de chù lì zài xīng kōng zhōng 。 sì hū shì zài sī suǒ zhe ， jiē xià lái gāi zěn me xíng dòng 。
或许是因为刚刚诞生的缘故，祂们现在还有些迷茫的矗立在星空中。似乎是在思索着，接下来该怎么行动。
"There's no time left; let's start quickly."
tā men shēn shàng de qì xī ， zhèng zài zhú jiàn nèi liǎn 。
祂们身上的气息，正在逐渐内敛。
Li Fan nodded slightly and looked at the dozens of blank papers suddenly floating out from the cultivator ship. Although they appeared blank, one could faintly see the marks as if written a thousand times.
mó hú de shēn yǐng ， biàn dé yù fā qīng xī 。 yī zhāng zhāng lǐ fán shí fēn shú xī de miàn páng ， zhèng qiǎo rán chū xiàn 。
模糊的身影，变得愈发清晰。一张张李凡十分熟悉的面庞，正悄然出现。
These were the painstaking works of the elders over many years—continuously imitating, contemplating, and discussing to restore all known True Immortal Inscriptions to their original state.
xīng guāng shǎn yào de qū tǐ ， yě zàn shí àn dàn xià lái 。
星光闪耀的躯体，也暂时黯淡下来。
"The abilities of these old foxes are truly formidable!"
zuì zhōng biàn dé dàn lán 、 tòu míng 。
最终变得淡蓝、透明。
"Even with my guidance, they managed to advance the research on True Immortal Inscriptions so much in such a short time!"
nèi lǐ yī xī kě yǐ wàng jiàn ， wú shù xīng chén 、 shì jiè zǔ chéng de gǔ gé jīng luò 。
内里依稀可以望见，无数星辰、世界组成的骨骼经络。
"This cultivator ship from this life is far superior to the one that died hastily under the influence of the immortal array last life."
「 zhè xiē xīng guāng jù rén zhī yú xīng hǎi ， jiù rú tóng tiān dì zhī pò zhī yú xuán huáng jiè 。」
「这些星光巨人之于星海，就如同天地之魄之于玄黄界。」
"Not only does it have abundant resources and a strong ability for study and progress."
「 shī qù le xiū shì de tè zhēng 、 zhǐ bǎo liú le xiē xǔ de zhǔ guān yì shí ， wán quán bèi xīng hǎi suǒ tóng huà ……」
「失去了修士的特征、只保留了些许的主观意识，完全被星海所同化……」
Li Fan was amazed as he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar characters. The engravings on the paper seemed like molds forged by the elders through countless trials, requiring no further familiarity or writing from Li Fan. He could simply pour energy along the engravings to spontaneously manifest True Immortal Inscriptions!
「 huò xǔ kě yǐ chēng tā men wèi xīng líng 。」
「或许可以称祂们为星灵。」
"These must be the safety measures left behind by the elders of the cultivator ship. With these True Immortal Inscription marks, even if all the elders perish, the legacy of the cultivator ship will not be completely lost. There might still be a chance for resurgence."
xiān zhèn qiǎo rán bù zhì zuǒ yòu ， yǐn nì zì shēn xíng zōng 。 lǐ fán àn zhōng guān chá zhe zhè qún qí tè de shēng mìng xíng tài 。
仙阵悄然布置左右，隐匿自身行踪。李凡暗中观察着这群奇特的生命形态。
Li Fan's body was filled with磅礴力量, and he poured it into each character mold.
「 xuán huáng jiè zhōng ， tiān dì zhī pò suī yīn tiān zhí bù tóng 、 shí lì gè yǒu chā jù 。 dàn yě dà dǐ zài huà shén 、 cháng shēng zhī jiān 。」
「玄黄界中，天地之魄虽因天职不同、实力各有差距。但也大抵在化神、长生之间。」
Only Li Fan, with his vast accumulation, could support such an action. The Five Elements Great Caverns and the Xuan Huang World-Destroying Transformation made him comparable to an entire cultivation realm by himself.
「 ér yǎn qián zhè xiē xīng líng ……」
「而眼前这些星灵……」
Other normal cultivators would likely be completely drained of their energy as soon as they poured it into the True Immortal Inscriptions. Even a star sea's supreme being like True Immortal might not be able to withstand such consumption!
「 jǐn píng kě yǐ diào dòng de wú qióng xīng hǎi zhī lì ， biàn zú yǐ niǎn yā suǒ yǒu wèi chéng zhēn xiān de xiū shì 。 xīng hǎi zhī jí xiàn ， jiù shì xīng hǎi zì shēn 。 kě chēng 【 tài shàng 】！」 lǐ fán xiǎng qǐ le zhī qián huàn zhèn zhōng kuī jiàn de tiān yī de jì yì 。
「仅凭可以调动的无穷星海之力，便足以碾压所有未成真仙的修士。星海之极限，就是星海自身。可称【太上】！」李凡想起了之前幻阵中窥见的天医的记忆。
The磅礴力量 in Li Fan's body became the source of power for the formation of True Immortal Inscriptions.
suī rán rèn dìng zhè xiē xīng líng gēn tiān yī tóng wèi tài shàng jìng ， dàn lǐ
虽然认定这些星灵跟天医同为太上境，但李
The eighteen star spirits began their actions at this moment, emitting one long howl after another, each one building on the previous one, raising the cultivator ship step by step as if climbing a staircase.
fán bìng bù rèn wéi ， tā men néng gēn tiān yī zhàn dòu de qí gǔ xiāng dāng 。
凡并不认为，祂们能跟天医战斗的旗鼓相当。
It was not actual sound but more like some kind of wave, akin to an immense wave containing the power of infinity.
「 zhēn dǎ qǐ lái ， bié shuō tiān yī le ， jiù suàn shì wǒ ， yě yǒu tài duō de fāng fǎ ná niē tā men ！」
「真打起来，别说天医了，就算是我，也有太多的方法拿捏祂们！」
Li Fan needed True Immortal flesh as a medium to ascend. But at this moment, the eighteen star spirits relied on the boundless source of energy from the Star Sea, continuously elevating the cultivator ship.
「 dàn shèng fù ， gēn běn méi yǒu yì yì ！」
「但胜负，根本没有意义！」
Throughout the entire process, there was no fluctuation in their aura. It seemed that the consumption required for ascending did not matter to them at all.
「 xīng hǎi shì wú xiàn de 。 yě jiù yì wèi zhe zhè xiē xīng líng xún cháng shǒu duàn gēn běn wú fǎ shā sǐ 。」
「星海是无限的。也就意味着这些星灵寻常手段根本无法杀死。」
Still retaining memories of the collision point with the commercial cultivator ship, once the star spirits lifted the玄仙舟 and raised it to a certain extent, they stopped going higher but continued to emit long howls, maintaining the momentum of the cultivator ship.
「 shèn zhì shǐ de zhè piàn xīng hǎi zāo shòu jié nàn de zhēn xiān zhuàn zì ， yě zhǐ shì zàn shí shǐ de xīng hǎi shēng jī diāo bì 。 cóng xīng hǎi de shí jiān chǐ dù lái kàn ， shù wàn nián shí guāng 、 yě jǐn jǐn shì duǎn zàn yī shùn 。 shēng jī biàn huì jǐn fù 。」
「甚至使得这片星海遭受劫难的真仙篆字，也只是暂时使得星海生机凋敝。从星海的时间尺度来看，数万年时光、也仅仅是短暂一瞬。生机便会尽复。」
At the same time, these heavy blows kept pounding on Li Fan's heart, urging him to take action.
「 huò xǔ wéi yǒu nà néng shǐ de xiān jiè pò miè de 【 dào yān zhī jié 】……」
「或许唯有那能使得仙界破灭的【道湮之劫】……」
Li Fan was facing the might of the Star Sea for the first time and felt shocked. He forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi.
lǐ fán yòu xiǎng dào le ， shàng gǔ shí qī céng zài xīng hǎi zhōng pín fán chū xiàn de zhǒng zhǒng yì xiàng 。
李凡又想到了，上古时期曾在星海中频繁出现的种种异象。
"Too bad; after colliding with the Great Wall, it will be uncertain whether anyone survives. All the treasures inside the cultivator ship will also be destroyed!"
「 yī jí shì quán 。 rú guǒ xīng hǎi lì liàng dàng zhēn shì wú xiàn de huà ， nà me xīng líng 、 xīng hǎi yì xiàng ruò shì quán lì bào fā ， dōu kě yǐ kàn zuò shì xīng hǎi zì shēn ！」
「一即是全。如果星海力量当真是无限的话，那么星灵、星海异象若是全力爆发，都可以看做是星海自身！」
Despite these thoughts, he did not hesitate as he grabbed the True Immortal Inscriptions on the papers with a large hand, compressing them into a paper ball and threw it at the cultivator ship surrounded by the eighteen star spirits.
「 wú qióng wú jìn de tài shàng jìng ， nán guài shì jiān xiū shì dōu cāi cè 、 jí biàn shì zhēn xiān zài nà xiē kě bù yì xiàng qián dōu yào tuì bì sān shè 。」
「无穷无尽的太上境，难怪世间修士都猜测、即便是真仙在那些可怖异象前都要退避三舍。」
The chaotic and terrifying power of the True Immortal realm was carried along with the paper ball towards the玄仙舟.
zhēn xiān suī shì chāo fán tuō sú de cún zài 。 dàn ruò shì yǒu wú xiàn shù liàng de tiān yī qù wéi shā ， wèi bì bù néng jiāng qí zhòng shāng 、 shèn zhì bǔ zhuō ！
真仙虽是超凡脱俗的存在。但若是有无限数量的天医去围杀，未必不能将其重伤、甚至捕捉！
"Explosion!"
lǐ fán yī shùn qiān niàn 。
李凡一瞬千念。
Li Fan shouted in his mind as he retreated. The storm of True Immortal Inscriptions exploded under the cultivator ship, capable of temporarily blowing away the life force of the Star Sea. However, the star spirits' actions did not waver; they continued to receive boundless energy from the Star Sea and remained unharmed even as they faced this True Immortal Inscription storm.
zhèng zài sī suǒ de gōng fu ， shí bā zūn xīng líng men ， yě zhōng yú yǒu le dòng zuò 。
正在思索的功夫，十八尊星灵们，也终于有了动作。
Under their control, the unleashed True Immortal power did not directly destroy the玄仙舟 but instead served as a final boost for the cultivator ship's ascent. It made what was impossible for the lifeforms in the Star Sea to achieve possible in an instant!
tā men yǒu xiē kàn xiàng bù yuǎn chù yǐn nì zhe de xuán xiān zhōu ， yǒu xiē kàn xiàng xīng hǎi biān chuí de gāo qiáng 。 hái yǒu xiē ， zé shì shì xiàn zhú jiàn sǎo guò zhěng piàn xīng hǎi 。
祂们有些看向不远处隐匿着的玄仙舟，有些看向星海边陲的高墙。还有些，则是视线逐渐扫过整片星海。
"True might surpassing the mundane world, sufficient to rival that of a true immortal! The supreme force capable of crossing the Great Wall!"
「 rú guǒ shuō zhī qián xīng hǎi yì shí xiǎng yào fù sū zì shēn ， xū yào jiè zhù xiū shì lì liàng de huà 。 nà me xiàn zài biàn kě yǐ tōng guò xīng líng ， zì xíng xiū fù 。」
「如果说之前星海意识想要复苏自身，需要借助修士力量的话。那么现在便可以通过星灵，自行修复。」
As one of the initiators, Li Fan watched from afar as the storm and the soaring玄仙舟 rose above it.
「 xīng líng men suī rán hái réng bǎo cún zhe shēng qián zhí niàn ， dàn xiàn zài 、 què bì xū àn zhào xīng hǎi de yāo qiú xíng shì 。」
「星灵们虽然还仍保存着生前执念，但现在、却必需按照星海的要求行事。」
He couldn't help feeling excited. After so many lifetimes, he finally had the chance to glimpse beyond the Great Wall.
……
……
Even when helping the commercial cultivator ship rebuild its defense system, Li Fan had secretly made preparations.
lǐ fán kě méi yǒu wàng jì ， zhè yī shì zhī suǒ yǐ yào qián fú jìn xiān zhōu de yuán yīn 。
李凡可没有忘记，这一世之所以要潜伏进仙舟的原因。
What the cultivator ship saw would also be what Li Fan saw!
chú le jì yú xiān zhōu mì cáng nèi de zhū duō bǎo wù zhī wài ， gèng zhòng yào de ， shì ràng xiān zhōu zuò wéi mǎ qián zú 、 qù jǐn kě néng de cháo zhe gāo qiáng zhī wài tàn suǒ 。
除了觊觎仙舟密藏内的诸多宝物之外，更重要的，是让仙舟作为马前卒、去尽可能的朝着高墙之外探索。
All was in place.
rú jīn xiān zhōu zhǎng lǎo men yǐ jīng jìn shù chéng wéi le xīng líng ， yōng yǒu le néng gòu bǐ jiān xīng hǎi de lì liàng 。 zú yǐ shí shī dāng chū nà ge xiào fǎng shāng xiān zhōu 、 zhuàng xiàng gāo qiáng de jì huà 。
如今仙舟长老们已经尽数成为了星灵，拥有了能够比肩星海的力量。足以实施当初那个效仿商仙舟、撞向高墙的计划。
The cultivator ship was about to collide with the Great Wall.
yǎn jiàn zhè xiē xīng líng jí jiāng shòu dào xīng hǎi yì shí de qū shǐ ， ér qián wǎng xīng hǎi gè chù 。 lǐ fán yòu zěn me huì làng fèi zhè dà hǎo de jī huì ？
眼见这些星灵即将受到星海意识的驱使，而前往星海各处。李凡又怎么会浪费这大好的机会？
At this moment...
tài jiǎ shén shù ， xiān zhōu tuī yǎn wán shàn bǎn ， níng ！
太甲神术，仙舟推衍完善版，凝！
The eighteen star spirits transformed from the elders of the cultivator ship seemed to sense something terrifying and vanished instantly, leaving only the玄仙舟 continuing its collision course towards the invisible Great Wall.
duǎn duǎn shí jiān nèi ， zhè mén gōu tōng xīng hǎi de shén tōng zài dù chū xiàn 。
短短时间内，这门沟通星海的神通再度出现。
Both disappeared into the dark Star Sea.
zhǐ bù guò zhè yī cì lǐ fán yù gōu tōng de duì xiàng ， bú shì xīng hǎi běn yuán zhēn yì 、 ér shì yǎn qián zhè shí bā zūn xīng líng ！
只不过这一次李凡欲沟通的对象，不是星海本源真意、而是眼前这十八尊星灵！
Li Fan stood there in shock.
xiāng jiào xīng hǎi běn shēn ， yǒu xiū shì yǎn huà ér chéng de xīng líng ， zé hǎo gōu tōng le tài duō 。
相较星海本身，有修士衍化而成的星灵，则好沟通了太多。
He had witnessed the entire process of the cultivator ship colliding with the Great Wall but did not feel any hint of danger. Moreover...
tài jiǎ shén shù guāng huī chū xiàn de chà nà ， jiù xī yǐn le xīng líng men de zhù yì 。
太甲神术光辉出现的刹那，就吸引了星灵们的注意。
The means left inside the玄仙舟 had not played any role at all.
So, the communication technique with the star spirits was activated. The method of contacting the star sea had appeared again in a short period of time; this time, it aimed at the eighteen star spirits before him.
Compared to communicating directly with the star sea itself, interacting with the star spirits derived from cultivators was much easier.
The moment the Tai Jia Shen术 technique shone, the attention of the star spirits was immediately drawn. The consciousness of Li Fan also instantly connected with them.
If these star spirits were still humans, they would have been furious and full of suspicion upon seeing that Li Fan, who had participated in the ritual together with them, was not dead or transformed into a star spirit but instead was alive and well. They might even directly engage in combat without any communication.
However, Li Fan did not detect any emotional fluctuations from these eighteen star spirits.
"Star Sea, beyond the Great Wall."
"Fellow travelers, sacrifices."
"Do not forget!"
Li Fan briefly communicated his message to the star spirits. It seemed as if it had awakened their memories of their human lives; their human faces became much clearer in an instant.
Their actions stopped, and they all looked at Li Fan with hesitation.
"Halfway through, a waste of sacrifice!"
"With the aid of the Star Sea's power, crossing the Great Wall was just a matter of raising one's hand for the cultivator ship!"
Under Li Fan's persuasion, their former thoughts and intentions gradually resurfaced.
Li Fan continued to encourage them: "Even if the star sea can be revived, it will take thousands or even tens of thousands of years. The elders have already transformed into star spirits and cannot continuously protect the cultivator ship. What should the cultivator ship do in the future?!"
The star spirit Zhong Daogong was finally moved by this.
He transmitted a series of intermittent thoughts.
It felt completely different from communicating with cultivators.
Star Spirit Zhong Daogong stated some facts without any emotional fluctuations.
As time passed, their original consciousness would gradually weaken until they became fully integrated into the Star Sea. Although they still had some residual subjective consciousness, they could not defy the will of the star sea and were bound to act as it dictated.

To successfully pass through the Great Wall according to the plan, Li Fan needed to assist in the process.
More and more star spirits temporarily recovered their own thoughts and reached a consensus with Li Fan.
Star Spirit Zhong Daogong, relying on his last residual consciousness, handed over the secret plan for the cultivator ship to cross the Great Wall.
The eighteen star spirits surrounded them and dragged the cultivator ship near the traces left by the commercial cultivator ship that had crossed the Great Wall in the past.
"There's no time left; let's start quickly."
Li Fan nodded slightly and looked at the dozens of blank papers suddenly floating out from the cultivator ship. Although they appeared blank, one could faintly see the marks as if written a thousand times.
These were the painstaking works of the elders over many years—continuously imitating, contemplating, and discussing to restore all known True Immortal Inscriptions to their original state.
"The abilities of these old foxes are truly formidable!"
"Even with my guidance, they managed to advance the research on True Immortal Inscriptions so much in such a short time!"
"This cultivator ship from this life is far superior to the one that died hastily under the influence of the immortal array last life."

"These must be the safety measures left behind by the elders of the cultivator ship. With these True Immortal Inscription marks, even if all the elders perish, the legacy of the cultivator ship will not be completely lost. There might still be a chance for resurgence."
Li Fan's body was filled with磅礴力量, and he poured it into each character mold.
Only Li Fan, with his vast accumulation, could support such an action. The Five Elements Great Caverns and the Xuan Huang World-Destroying Transformation made him comparable to an entire cultivation realm by himself.
Other normal cultivators would likely be completely drained of their energy as soon as they poured it into the True Immortal Inscriptions. Even a star sea's supreme being like True Immortal might not be able to withstand such consumption!
The磅礴力量 in Li Fan's body became the source of power for the formation of True Immortal Inscriptions.
The eighteen star spirits began their actions at this moment, emitting one long howl after another, each one building on the previous one, raising the cultivator ship step by step as if climbing a staircase.
It was not actual sound but more like some kind of wave, akin to an immense wave containing the power of infinity.
Li Fan needed True Immortal flesh as a medium to ascend. But at this moment, the eighteen star spirits relied on the boundless source of energy from the Star Sea, continuously elevating the cultivator ship.
Throughout the entire process, there was no fluctuation in their aura. It seemed that the consumption required for ascending did not matter to them at all.
Still retaining memories of the collision point with the commercial cultivator ship, once the star spirits lifted the玄仙舟 and raised it to a certain extent, they stopped going higher but continued to emit long howls, maintaining the momentum of the cultivator ship.
At the same time, these heavy blows kept pounding on Li Fan's heart, urging him to take action.
Li Fan was facing the might of the Star Sea for the first time and felt shocked. He forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi.
"Too bad; after colliding with the Great Wall, it will be uncertain whether anyone survives. All the treasures inside the cultivator ship will also be destroyed!"
Despite these thoughts, he did not hesitate as he grabbed the True Immortal Inscriptions on the papers with a large hand, compressing them into a paper ball and threw it at the cultivator ship surrounded by the eighteen star spirits.
The chaotic and terrifying power of the True Immortal realm was carried along with the paper ball towards the玄仙舟.
"Explosion!"
Li Fan shouted in his mind as he retreated. The storm of True Immortal Inscriptions exploded under the cultivator ship, capable of temporarily blowing away the life force of the Star Sea. However, the star spirits' actions did not waver; they continued to receive boundless energy from the Star Sea and remained unharmed even as they faced this True Immortal Inscription storm.
Under their control, the unleashed True Immortal power did not directly destroy the玄仙舟 but instead served as a final boost for the cultivator ship's ascent. It made what was impossible for the lifeforms in the Star Sea to achieve possible in an instant!
"True might surpassing the mundane world, sufficient to rival that of a true immortal! The supreme force capable of crossing the Great Wall!"
As one of the initiators, Li Fan watched from afar as the storm and the soaring玄仙舟 rose above it.
He couldn't help feeling excited. After so many lifetimes, he finally had the chance to glimpse beyond the Great Wall.
Even when helping the commercial cultivator ship rebuild its defense system, Li Fan had secretly made preparations.
What the cultivator ship saw would also be what Li Fan saw!
All was in place.
The cultivator ship was about to collide with the Great Wall.
At this moment...
The eighteen star spirits transformed from the elders of the cultivator ship seemed to sense something terrifying and vanished instantly, leaving only the玄仙舟 continuing its collision course towards the invisible Great Wall.
Both disappeared into the dark Star Sea.
Li Fan stood there in shock.
He had witnessed the entire process of the cultivator ship colliding with the Great Wall but did not feel any hint of danger. Moreover...
The means left inside the玄仙舟 had not played any role at all.
