My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 429: 403: The Truth of Xuanhuang World

Liu Ruchen also seemed quite moved: “By sheer accident, our founder’s good deed actually left us with a way out…”

“Huh?”

Liu Ruchen’s voice suddenly lost its certainty.

“What’s wrong?” Lao Huang couldn’t help asking.

“Strange, why did the Medicine King Cauldron’s trajectory shift?” Liu Ruchen voice was filled with confusion. “Is there something wrong with the guidance?”

A moment later.

“The Medicine King Cauldron is functioning normally.”

“So what on earth…”

Before Liu Ruchen could find an answer, a panicked voice from Lao Huang interrupted.

“Master, something seems wrong.”

“Why does it feel like we’re not moving forward but upwards?”

The scenery around them began to shift dramatically.

Their field of view decreasing, Xiao Heng and the others saw that trading motifs would travel straight into the distance, the Medicine King Cauldron, for some unknown reason, slowly altered its course.

As if something up above was pulling it upwards.

In the Dark Void, the Medicine King Cauldron sketched an arc.

Helplessly, it began its slow descent upwards.

Its speed picked up.

Not a single spot of starlight around, pitch-black darkness.

But right now, it was like a ferocious beast, its mouth wide open, awaiting its prey.

A cold dread filled Liu Ruchen’s heart.

Watching the glowing cloud which represented the Xuanhuang World getting further away and smaller, he felt mocked.

In that instant, even Liu Ruchen understood it all.

Why the Immortal Dao Ten Clans knew they wanted to escape, and yet did nothing to stop them.

Because they knew there was no way to escape.

“Dao of the Ten Immortal…” Liu Ruchen gritted his teeth in rage.

The Cauldron started vibrating fiercely as its speed surpassed its threshold.

“Master!”

Creaking sounds of Metal could be heard from all directions, then, Lao Huang’s panicked cry rang out.

Only a few moments later.

“Master, you…”

From Lao Huang came a scream of disbelief.

“Disciples of Medicine King Sect, listen to my command…”

Following this, Liu Ruchen began to relay his orders to the disciples inside the Medicine King Cauldron.

He instructed them to quickly return to their rooms.

“Don’t blame me…”

Liu Ruchen’s murmurs echoed around.

“With my limited strength, I cannot escape on my own…”

A note of despair rang in his voice.

“However, for the sake of the Medicine King Sect…”

“I must do this.”

An instant later, Liu Ruchen’s voice sounded firm.

Subsequently, a vast green-blue light enveloped the entire Medicine King Cauldron.

“Ten Immortal Clans !!!”

His scream filled with resentment echoed in the void.

The green aura intensified infinitely.

The speed of Medicine King Cauldron abruptly slowed.

Despite this, it couldn’t change its doomed journey upwards.

Slowly, from within the Cauldron, continued to spout streams of similar green-blue light.

The glow of green became dazzling.

The speed of Medicine King Cauldron was dwindling.

Slowing down further and further.

Ultimately, in the midst of an endless sea of darkness, it stopped.

An instant later, even more green radiance was drawn out.

Only then did the Medicine King Cauldron change the direction of its speed.

Having avoided being devoured, it fell downwards.

During the escape, the green light kept flickering.

As if it was rapidly being consumed.

Eventually, when the Medicine King Cauldron fell back to the Xuanhuang World, the green glow had become almost invisible.

The scene stopped abruptly.

“This is what happened back then.” Ling Huchang said with sadness.

Yet Xiao Heng and the others were still in shock from what they had just seen, not reacting at all.

After a long while.

“What was that?” Su Xiaomei, normally fearless, asked in horror.

Although she didn’t specify, everyone present understood what she was referring to.

“That was the [Immortal Ruins]. A long, long time ago, when the path to ascension hadn’t yet been severed, it was where the passage to the Immortal Realm was.” Ling Huchang answered her question.

“The sect master realized a lot of things before his death.” Ling Huchang said.

“The missing path to immortality, and the severed connection with the other Immortal Cultivation Worlds…”

“These are all because a terrifying existence appeared above the Xuanhuang World.”

“It devours everything, even capable of distorting time and space.”

“Just a round trip around it, and a thousand years had already passed in the outside world.”

Ling Huchang said slowly, his voice somber.

“And the ten sects of the Immortal Dao, despite knowing the truth, just watched us march to our deaths without any warning…”

Ling Huchang clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

“Immortal Ruins…” Xiao Heng and the others murmured, increasingly terrified.

“Are we… is our world going to be sucked in entirely?” Su Xiaomei opened her mouth, asking somewhat dazedly.

Ling Huchang sneered: “Back then, the Immortal Dao Ten Sects were still openly and covertly fighting and persistently clashing.”

“However, from a certain point onwards, they suddenly became incredibly unified, spoke in one voice.”

“I suppose that the Xuanhuang World being able to survive to this day, is due to their contribution.”

Xiao Heng and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Yet the feeling of trepidation that frequently surfaced in their hearts was not something they could dispel in a short amount of time.

Just as Xiao Heng and the others finally perceived the true predicament of the Xuanhuang World,

Li Fan, who was still ignorant of all this, had already completed the final inspection of the Spirit-locking Formation in the State.

With the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array about to be completed, all the Array Masters involved received an invitation from the Immortal Alliance Headquarters.

“To go to the Sky Spirit State to watch the debut show of the Spirit-locking Formation?”

“What does this mean?”

Li Fan looked at the black and golden jade-like invitation in his hand and asked Huang Fusong.

“Perhaps it has something to do with the Sky Spirit State Void.” Huang Fusong whispered.

“Anyway, somehow, you can almost be sure that the Five Elders Organization wants to start the war again.”

“Thus, the Alliance decided to take the opportunity of the debut of the Spirit-locking Formation to teach them a hard lesson.”

Li Fan nodded slowly upon hearing this.

Looking at the jade scroll in his hand, he felt an inexplicably unsettling feeling.

“Let’s go; many people are already there.”

“You wouldn’t want to miss such a grand feast.”

Huang Fusong manipulated the Dustcrosser Boat, flying towards the Yanghua Immortal City.

Then, through the Teleportation Array, they kept heading for the Sky Spirit State.

Along the way, Li Fan suddenly stopped.

“Elder Huang Fusong, go ahead.”

“I have something to attend to and need to go to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters first.”

After a moment, Li Fan said to Huang Fusong,

while giving him a knowing look.

“The Immortal Alliance Headquarters?” Huang Fusong was taken aback, but quickly figured it out.

“In that case, congratulations in advance!”

Looking at Li Fan with envy, Huang Fusong then shook his head and left first.

After Huang Fusong left, Li Fan’s expression remained unchanged.

But he was recalling the message Lu Xuejing had just sent him.

“Dangerous.”

“It seems my intuition was right; there is indeed something wrong with the Sky Spirit State.”

Li Fan started formulating plans in his mind.
