My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 565: Chapter 537: Life or Death is all Determined by Fate

This time, there was no big stir. Emperor One simply pointed lightly towards Xu Ke’s brow and made no further moves.

Xu Ke touched his forehead but seemed to have sensed nothing.

“When the time comes, you will know its use,” Emperor One said.

“What? You always speak in riddles. You’re really going to drive me crazy.” muttered Xu Ke under his breath. He glanced at Emperor One but ultimately lacked the courage to act out.

He was forced to hold his anger in.

“Our business here is done. Nanming is not a place for humans to stay for long. I will take you away.”

In the space below, the outcome of the Demon’s Assembly had also been finalized.

“We resolutely support and stand behind Emperor One’s great decision!”

“Under Emperor One’s leadership, our Demon Clan will surely usher in a brighter future!”

“Little Xuanhuang World is not worth waiting for!”

…

The enthusiasm of the demons was enormous and they had reached a consensus.

As for how many of them really meant it, the faint mocking smile on the face of the childlike Emperor One, looking down from a high position, may give a clue.

The childlike Emperor One led Xu Ke through a complex, deserted passage to the gate they had first arrived at.

“You may go.”

Emperor One stopped and commanded.

Xu Ke was on the verge of speaking.

“Don’t worry, you and I…”

“We will meet again one day.” Emperor One’s words were suggestive.

His figure had already disappeared while his voice was still echoing in the air.

Xu Ke couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss.

Holding the sphere that seemed to have a heart beating inside it, Xu Ke called out to Little Qing and took Li Fan away from this place.

During their return journey through the Nanming Great Ocean, perhaps because of Emperor One, they did not encounter any other demonic beasts.

The journey was smooth and peaceful, and they were getting closer to the Beast Taming Sect.

Li Fan was flying, standing on the sphere that Emperor One had given to Xu Ke.

He seemed very interested in it, his eyes revealing a desire to swallow it whole.

“Little Black, what are you doing!”

Facing Li Fan’s aggressive stare, Xu Ke hugged the sphere tightly, his eyes full of wariness.

“This is the proof I need to give to Brother Lu Ya. You can’t sneakily eat it because you fancy a bite.”

Li Fan contemptuously shot Xu Ke a glance and flung a paw at him without explaining.

The reason he had been fixated on the sphere for this period of time was simply because he felt a familiar aura from it.

After carefully examining it, he confirmed that this faint sense of familiarity came from the Rift Realm Whale Swarm that roamed outside the Immortal Forbiddance Formation in the Later Ages.

“Although Xu Ke and I found the Rift Realm Whale earlier, there is a clear disparity between them and those I encounter in the later ages.”

“Not only in terms of size, more importantly, according to the data provided by the Empire, the Rift Realm Whales of later ages can reproduce by consuming energy in the void alone.”

“Only in this way can they flourish in the vast void, reproduce in such large quantities, and execute the plan of complete separation of the Small World from the Xuan Huang World.”

“The ones that Xu Ke and I found earlier don’t possess such characteristics.”

“On the other hand, this little thing…”

Li Fan was lost in thought.

The Beast Taming Sect must have bred a new, suitable subspecies by crossing the Rift Realm Whale with this spherical creature.

“So, after all this hard work, is it all because of Mr. Bai’s task?”

Li Fan couldn’t help but feel confused.

The story of the Fallen Immortal Realm seems a little too long.

Up until now, he still hadn’t figured out what the obsession was that maintained this space and time.

How would he find the solution?

However, Li Fan felt a premonition in his heart. He might unravel this mystery once he returned to Beast Taming Sect.

The journey back from the Nanming Great Ocean to Beast Taming Sect was very far.

They had not covered even half the distance, yet the time allotted in the Fallen Immortal Realm was already up.

In an instant, Li Fan found himself in the real world again.

“Emperor One Beast…”

Thinking back to what he had seen in the Fallen Immortal Realm, Li Fan grappled with lingering questions.

Had the plan to relocate the Demon Tribe as a whole, succeeded?

If so, such a massive feat couldn’t go unnoticed by the cultivators of that time.

If there were successful precedents of escape, then the cultivators would definitely imitate those actions.

They would try all sorts of methods to shatter space and time, escaping the chains of the Xuanhuang World.

“Back then, there were three Immortal Realm cultivators in the Great Taoist Sect who hid from the world. Not to mention, there were quite a lot of Immortal Realm cultivators in the entire Xuanhuang World.”

“Perhaps some of them have left, hence why we see no trace of them now.”

Li Fan suddenly remembered the words of Emperor One.

“In the Beast clan, there were many disagreements about completely leaving the Xuanhuang World.”

“Let alone human cultivators.”

“Those who wanted to leave were certainly there, and so were those who wanted to stay.”

Everything was just a different choice made by different people when faced with the unprecedented Great Calamity.

Li Fan mused.

—————–

After returning from the Fallen Immortal Realm to the real world, the groundbreaking ceremony for Misthaven Elysian City was about to officially commence.

And Zhou Kebao, according to the agreement, brought the Immortal City Cave Mansion.

“Please, take a look!”

He extended his right hand, and a miniature city emitting a multicolored glow appeared all of a sudden.

In appearance, it seemed identical to the Immortal Cities in the Various States of the Thousand Immortals Alliance.

“We cannot unleash it fully here, my friend Li, please follow me.”

With a faint smile, Zhou Kebao offered what looked like a white jade miniature of the Exquisite Tower.

“This is…” Li Fan looked at the small object in his hand, it seemed familiar.

“It is the key to the Advanced World. You only need to use it as the core during the formation translation, and you will be able to go to the appointed Advanced World.” Zhou Kebao explained to Li Fan.

“I see.” Li Fan had once rented the Vanguard Realm of Bones, so he was not unfamiliar with this.

After a moment of silence, he held the Exquisite Tower miniature in his hand and activated the formation.

A faint dizzy sensation passed, and when Li Fan opened his eyes again, he found himself in a palace in the sky shrouded in white clouds.

Apart from Zhou Kebao, a group of other cultivators had been waiting there for quite some time.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve heard of you, Master Li. It’s so great to meet you today!”

“Haha, Master Li Fan, I guess we can say that we got to know each other through a fight!”

Seeing Li Fan, they all eagerly greeted him.

Li Fan also responded politely to each of them.

“Alright, let’s have Master Li check the goods.” The cultivator with a square face said sternly after the pleasantries were exchanged.

Zhou Kebao nodded, immediately commanded, and maximized the size of the Immortal City Cave Mansion in his hand.

In an instant, a huge suspended city appeared above the Cloud Palace.

“Master Li, please!”

Saying this, Zhou Kebao took the lead and flew into the suspended city.
