My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 787: Chapter 750: The Immortal Alliance’s First Setback

Upon hearing this, Liu San’s face revealed an awkward expression, “Eh, I’m afraid that might be a bit difficult…”

“Oh?” Li Fan was slightly taken aback.

Just as Liu San was about to reply, Fang Zaiji interjected, “Hehe, Sect Leader, have you become so short-sighted while in seclusion? Our Medicine King Sect doesn’t even have any disciples at the Energy Refining Stage anymore. Even those with the worst aptitude have successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

Li Fan paused momentarily in his caressing of the Dissociation Disc.

“Well, it seems we’ll have to trouble Master Fang to make a trip out there and select some promising talents,” Li Fan feigned surprise before speaking with a hue of helplessness.

“It would be best to carry the Final Disc at all times, and pay close attention to safety. Otherwise, if discovered by the cultivators of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, a fierce battle would be inevitable.” He kindly reminded.

...

“Ugh.” Fang Zaiji’s face fell, “Sect Leader…”

“Master Fang, please make haste. It’s a matter related to the hope of cracking the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror. I’m somewhat uneasy entrusting it to someone else,” Li Fan spoke earnestly.

Seeing that he could not avoid this duty, Fang Zaiji could only glare at the amusing Liu San nearby before flying away.

“I would also like to go out and see.” At this point, the till now silent Jiang Yushan suddenly spoke.

Liu San was taken aback.

“I’ve been staying here for too long, I’m feeling a bit stifled,” Jiang Yushan said lightly, “It seems lively outside now. The countless hidden Small Worlds which have been hidden for thousands of years are finally about to fully reveal themselves, and I am very interested. Maybe I might even meet familiar people from the past.”

Li Fan contemplated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

He gave her a Final Disc and a Communication Talisman, advising, “Safety comes first. If we want the Medicine King Sect to rise again, we can’t do it without Elder Jiang’s help.”

“Rest assured.” Jiang Yushan responded coldly before flying away.

“Young Master, I also….” Liu San hastily began.

“Elder Liu, stay in Medicine King Valley. There’s important work to do soon, and I need you and my clone to handle it.” Li Fan waved his hand, decisively rejecting Liu San’s request.

Liu San showed a bitter expression, unable to disobey Li Fan. He had no choice but to vent his frustrations on the disciples of Medicine King Sect in the valley.

Li Fan continued to immerse his mind in feeding the Dissociation Disc.

Meanwhile, his clone Xu Bai, who had returned to Tianliang City, was getting updated on the latest progress of the Immortal Alliance’s conquest of the Ten Thousand Realms.

Everything was smooth sailing until his recent return to the Xuanhuang World, when the fervent cultivators finally suffered their first major defeat.

The first batch of hundreds of cultivators who entered the Small World, led by three God Transforming cultivators and fifty Nascent Soul powerhouses.

This impressive force was almost entirely annihilated. @@novelbin@@

And the sole survivor was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator named Lu Zhixian.

This person was at the rear of the squad, and he only managed to join this expedition team because of his relationship with the leader of the God Transforming cultivators.

He thought he would earn some merits, but who knew that the situation would take a sudden turn for the worse. Seeing the unfavorable situation, Lu Zhixian decisively fled.

Perhaps because his strength was too weak, the enemy did not wipe him out completely.

The disastrous defeat naturally caused a sensation and sparked an investigation by the officials of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

Thanks to the recorded images from the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror, Lu Zhixian was quickly cleared of suspicion as a spy and released without charges.

As the images were made public, it caused an uproar.

Because the force that exterminated the expedition team consisted of just one person.

He had white hair and eyebrows, and a face full of wrinkles. He appeared very old, as if he could pass away at any moment.

But his attack was ruthless and decisive.

His hair and beard, which were like living things, rose violently to hurt people. Like silver river dragons, they pierced through the bodies of the Immortal Alliance cultivators in an instant.

What was even more shocking was that after the old man’s hair and beard penetrated the cultivators’ bodies, it seemed to be able to extract life energy.

Innumerable cultivators became feeble and weak in an instant. Some couldn’t even let out a scream before they turned into skeletons.

The face of the old man, however, had become slightly rosy.

This old man’s power is at least at the Unity Realm level. He seems to have a special advantage in the Small World where ordinary God Transforming cultivators have no power to resist. They could only watch as they were sucked dry.

This footage immediately sparked the furious indignation of the cultivators in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

“He can actually absorb the life essence of cultivators? Such an act is akin to a demon and he deserves to be punished by everyone!”

“Well said, I support you, Daoist friend! Let’s go get his head!”

“Hiss, I didn’t expect such a ruthless person in the Small World. I think unless two or three Unity Path Experts step forward, it will be impossible to execute him.”

“A bunch of fools, don’t you see it? That Lu Zhixian was intentionally sent back by him to spread the message. It’s to attract more cultivators to their deaths!”

“That makes sense. But in that case, why doesn’t he just leave that Small World and rampage in the Xuanhuang World?”

“Because he’s not as stupid as you.”

…

Although it sparked a lot of discussions, the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance were not fools. Since that Small World contained such a monster, they decided to take a detour. With countless unexplored Small Worlds still out there, why struggle with him? Of course, they would choose to pick the softer persimmons to squeeze!

The dramatic scene happened next.

The Small World was marked with a red skull on their map by the cultivators. But no one was willing to venture there anymore.

“After all, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals will definitely send someone to clean up in the end.”

The cultivators all held this thought, choosing to ignore it.

It seems like the officials of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals tacitly allowed this, without issuing any bounty or warrant for this Small World.

“Interesting.” After probing, Xu Bai found out that there seemed to be a dispute within the Immortal Alliance on how to deal with this Small World.

One faction believed that such a small fry should be killed swiftly, to showcase the supreme authority of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

The other party thought that in the future conquest of the worlds, they would inevitably encounter opponents of similar strength to this white-haired old man. If they were to eradicate all evil every time, they would inevitably suffer casualties.

The cultivators of Unity Path Level were all pillars of the Immortal Alliance. Losing even one of them was a great loss.

Even if there was the existence of the Transcendence Mansion where one could resurrect after death,

However, the cultivators at the Unity Realm seemed to be somewhat apprehensive about the matter of “resurrection”. Not many were willing to take the lead.

After some time, Xu Bai managed to find out the reason.

Apparently, even with various methods to resurrect, even to retain the memory and cultivation of the previous life,

There was a fatal flaw that all Integrated cultivators could not ignore.

Once they enter the Transcendence Mansion, they would no longer have a chance at reaching the Immortal Realm.

They were unsure of the reason, but from the performances of the various Unity Path experts, it seemed to be true.

After all, which of the Unity Path Experts didn’t harbor dreams of achieving immortality?

Resurrection was only the last resort of helplessness.
