My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 779: Chapter 742: Returning to the Empire After a Thousand Years

With a fair bit of anticipation, Xu Bai quickly approached the Mountain Valley Ruins in his memory.

When Li Chenfeng had returned to the [Empire], he had learned through the surveillance of the Formless Killing Machine about the entrance to the [Empire].

However, he never had a chance to go there before, so he took this opportunity to pay a visit.

In his spirit consciousness, the prism-shaped crystal once again emitted a seven-colored radiance, enshrouding the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror below.

Under Xu Bai’s deliberate control, one by one virtual images emerged within the radiance.

They distorted the perception of the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror. @@novelbin@@

He then quickly found his way to the entrance.

After a careful search, he found the space tunnel that had been hidden using some special means.

Xu Bai looked at the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror, which didn’t give out a warning.

“Indeed, it’s useful.”

Xu Bai nodded to himself privately, not rushing to enter.

After ensuring that there were no cultivators nearby with his spiritual sense, he took out an end-cycle disk and set up an array.

It concealed the entrance.

Only then did he fly into the space tunnel.

As far as the eye could see, it was an endless darkness.

This scene was familiar to him, being strikingly similar to the void traversed by countless rift realm whales while crossing the Immortal Forbiddance Formation.

Only that this place seemed more profound.

After pondering for a moment, the Liuli robe tailored by Fang Zaiji surfaced on his body. With an additional layer of protection, Xu Bai started flying towards his destination.

He had flown across the Immortal Forbiddance Formation countless times already. He was adept at it.

With an uneventful journey, he successfully passed through the great array but could not find a trace of Small World.

What greeted him was still the boundless dark void.

“It seems to have drifted far from its original location through the rift realm whale,” Xu Bai mused.

Standing in the void, Xu Bai closed his eyes and started sensing his surroundings.

Only a short while later, he indistinctly felt familiar energy fluctuations from the darkness in the distance.

Following the energy fluctuations, Xu Bai flew urgently.

As he was just about to reach, a loud whale song suddenly rang out.

Xu Bai instantly stopped in his tracks.

Like triggering a chain reaction, one whale song after another sounded in sequence, reverberating from close to far. It didn’t stop even when it reached the farthest reaches.

It was impossible to tell how many rift realm whales there were in the dark void. There were echo-reverberations amongst them, sounding like a grand symphony.

Surrounded by countless rift realm whales, Xu Bai didn’t feel a bit of crisis.

Because he realized that these whales were merely singing to express their joy, as if to welcome his arrival.

“Interesting.” Xu Bai’s eyes flickered, and he continued to move forward.

The rift realm whale swarm along the path sensed his aura and consciously made way for him.

Before long, Xu Bai had reached the outskirts of the [Empire].

Looking from the dark void, it was an elliptical world. He could faintly see large areas of water, and…

The floating corpse of the [Crimson Nine Head].

Just as Xu Bai was observing intently, a sudden inexplicable fluctuation occurred in the space before him.

Seven cultivators, clad in Beast God Armors, riding atop a mudfish-like exotic beast, suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Who goes there!”

The adeptly coordinated cultivators discovered Xu Bai. Their faces changed slightly as they quickly dispersed, assuming a formation with Xu Bai at the center.

Their armors were just Golden Core realm Beast God Armors, which were not a match for Xu Bai.

Xu Bai gave a faint smile and waved his folding fan lightly. Before they could react, he overpowered all seven of them.

“Ughhh…”

Horror was etched on their faces, but they couldn’t speak.

The next scene made their faces change drastically.

To their surprise, Xu Bai beckoned, and the [Dragon Wandering the Void], which they had painstakingly nurtured since young and tamed using the [Heart’s Harmony Technique], obediently swam towards him.

It even leaned its head forward in a pleasing manner, affectionately rubbing against the other party.

The seven of them were taken aback by such a bootlicking gesture; they almost thought they were hallucinating. When did the brutal [Dragon Wandering the Void] become so docile?

Feeling the alien’s amiable intentions, Xu Bai gently stroked its head.

Soon, blurry images appeared in his consciousness.

As a result, Xu Bai also learned its name.

“Quite authoritative. But having the ability to traverse short distances in space is commendable, even in the Xuanhuang World.”

Xu Bai nodded slightly.

“Lead the way,” he instructed.

The Void Dragon gave a jubilant chirp, shook its body, and voluntarily hoisted Xu Bai onto its back.

Meanwhile, Xu Bai made sure to clutch onto the seven warriors in Beast God Armor who were restrained nearby.

After a spatial flux, Xu Bai was now inside the [Empire].

A human kingdom built atop the chi jiu’s corpse.

Standing on the Void Dragon and accompanied by the seven Beast God Armor warriors, Xu Bai looked extraordinary.

Consequently, the moment Xu Bai appeared, he seized the attention of everyone nearby.

A moment of pause, and suddenly, chaos erupted.

“The enemy is attacking!”

“It’s a cultivator!”

“Where’s the guard team?”

“Quick, send for the [Qing Saint]!”

…

Amidst the cries of alarm, hundreds of figures whooshed over from various parts of the city.

Some donned Beast God Armor, while others merely sat atop different exotic beasts.

Others even flew using their physical bodies, their aura similar to that of cultivators like Xu Bai.

Despite their numbers, the strongest amongst them were only at the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm.

Xu Bai, in his radiant Liuli suit, was unconcerned.

“Who are you?”

It seemed they also perceived Xu Bai’s uncommon aura; rather than attacking directly, they cautiously inquired.

Xu Bai didn’t respond, he simply scanned his surroundings.

“What is your purpose for coming here?”

The Empire’s guard team cultivator shouted again.

It was at that moment a streak of green light shot out from the center of the Empire city, landing in front of Xu Bai.

“Dao friend…”

As soon as Little Green settled down and got a clear look at Xu Bai, she froze as if struck by lightning.

“Mas…”

Before she could complete the word “Master,” Little Green realized something was off.

Bracing herself, she stared at Xu Bai for a long while before asking, “Are you…”

Her tone was filled with confusion.

“Fellow Daoist Qing, are you aware that your [Empire] is facing an imminent calamity?” Xu Bai asked with a smile.

“Impudent villain! How dare you utter such nonsense!”

“How dare you be so disrespectful in front of Saint Qing!”

As soon as Xu Bai said these words, everyone became furious and started berating him.

Little Green, however, looked extremely surprised, “You know me?”

Xu Bai nodded slightly and asked, “Daoist, do you happen to remember the United Federation of All Realms?”
