My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 801: Chapter 764: The Protector-Lord Unique to the Wang Family

“From the space within the TianXuan Mirror, the Deng Mingxi I saw seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. That should be her actual age.”

“She’s not very old, so I would think she has been well protected by her clansmen. Therefore, even with the ability to read minds, she now lacks the capacity for cunning,” Li Fan mused to himself.

“Despite being only at the Golden Core Cultivation Level, she can sense my thoughts…”

“It should not be due to her Techniques. Perhaps, it is related to her Foundation Establishment Strange Object. The power of mind reading is rare in the Xuanhuang World. And to ignore the gap in realms to achieve this feat, it might already be halfway into the category of Heaven’s Oddities,” a mysterious glint flashed through Li Fan’s eyes.

In the cyclical worlds of Reincarnation, apart from encountering Heaven’s Oddities [Yanfa Mystical Amulet] and [Sword], Li Fan also met many Cultivators who possessed half of a Heaven’s Oddity.

He Zhenghao’s daughter He XinXin’s [Taoist Script Compass], Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss’s [Jade of Duality], and Sun Qi’s [Singular Cosmic Qi].

But none had ever made Li Fan’s heart stir quite like the mind-reading object in Deng Mingxi’s possession.

The human heart is unfathomable. Especially in the Xuanhuang World, where laws are incompatible with each other for Cultivation, no one can guarantee that a companion who calls you brother might not harbor a hidden intention to kill you.

If one could master the ability to read minds, even if it’s just a few critical sentences, it could greatly reduce the various risks encountered during the Cultivation process.

Not to mention, it could also be used as a kind of power identifier in a way.

If one suddenly finds their ability to read minds ineffective, they should know that they’ve come across someone they cannot afford to provoke.

“Perhaps, I might even deduce a method to prevent others from reading what’s in my own mind,” Li Fan thought.

Li Fan, a man of decisive action, immediately returned to the internal space of the TianXuan Mirror in Tian Quan City and started to inquire about information related to Deng Mingxi.

The result was somewhat surprising to him; he couldn’t find any valuable material.

It was as if Deng Mingxi had appeared out of nowhere.

Li Fan took a different approach, searching for the ‘Brother Qingyu’ that Deng Mingxi had mentioned.

He also added the traits Wang Wan had described, such as arrogance and an unforgiving nature.

Almost immediately, it matched up.

However, the backing of Deng Qingyu was not the Deng Family.

It was the Tianquan Wang Family.

“So, he’s an adopted son. But the Wang Family treats him as their own, even better than their blood-related descendants,” Li Fan nodded to himself.

The Tianquan Wang Family, although not considered one of the top powers of the Immortal Alliance, was not someone the average person could afford to offend. Many of the family’s Cultivators held positions within the mysterious Law Enforcement Hall.

It was said that the patriarch of the Wang Family bore the important responsibility of guarding the [Yanfa Mystical Amulet]…

The moment he saw this message, Li Fan had already made up his mind.

He swore to befriend this Wang Family for several lifetimes.

However, as Li Fan searched for more information, he slightly furrowed his brow.

It turned out that Deng Qingyu wasn’t the only one with a bad reputation in the Wang Family.

All the young descendants of the Wang Family, including the older generation, did not have a good reputation.

Within the entire Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, there was no Cultivator willing to speak for them. Mentioning the Tianquan Wang Family, everyone would spit a few times to express their disdain.

“Completely isolated individuals, not an ‘exclusive’ family. This isn’t just a matter of personal conduct, but a deliberate action.”

“Is it to avoid suspicion?”

Li Fan, who had once mingled in officialdom, was no stranger to such tactics.

“Yan Fajue.”

Li Fan pondered for a moment, then stopped his search here. He didn’t further explore sensitive content.

In this world, the Tianxuan Mirror had already completed its upgrade, and if he paid too much attention to these sensitive topics, he might be marked by it.

Having long been wary of the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan naturally did not wish to cultivate within it.

Now, the Cultivators of the Immortal Alliance are searching land and sea, looking for entrances to Small Worlds. It has even become unsafe to dig for and establish secret rooms in the wilderness.

“Liu San’s problem has still not been resolved…”

For a time, even though the world was vast, Li Fan struggled to find a place where he could cultivate in seclusion with peace of mind.@@novelbin@@

“This is the consequence of the Tianxuan Mirror growing as powerful as the net of the previous life.”

After weighing his options, Li Fan chose to rent a separate courtyard within the Debating Tower in Tian Quan City.

At the same time, he set up multiple Array Techniques for protection.

Only then did he feel somewhat at ease.

“Although there’s no suicidal behavior, and all actions and plans still seem to be under my control, this world mysteriously gives me a feeling of being trapped and constrained.”

“This is the oppression of the larger forces. With low strength and cultivation base, I can only go along with the momentum. If I go against it and am careless, I will be crushed to pieces.”

“Perhaps it’s time to consider the [Real] approach.”

“But before that, there are several matters I must attend to.”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes.

A moment later, he shook his head slightly.

Due to the Huadao Stone in his Spirit Consciousness absorbing too much data, it even made Li Fan feel somewhat slow-witted.

“One step at a time, let’s fully grasp the [Technique of Endless Duality] first.”

Li Fan closed his eyes, and the blue crystal in his Spirit Consciousness bloomed with a faint light, like an overstuffed eater, slowly and painstakingly analyzing and processing the infused Divine Technique data.

…

Tianliang City.

Xu Bai suddenly received a message from Liu San.

“Young Master, good news. Among the new disciples recruited by Lao Fang, someone has successfully established their Foundation!”

“What?” Xu Bai was momentarily stunned.

If one talks about the understanding of [Art of Self-Founded Cultivation], with the death of Yin Shangren, hardly any Cultivator in the world could surpass him. Building Foundation with Me is so difficult. How could it be that someone succeeded in such a brief time?

Is this what Liu San…?

For a moment, various thoughts flashed through Xu Bai’s mind, and he fell silent abruptly.

After a while, Liu San’s next words slowly emerged.

“However, it’s not [Art of Self-Founded Cultivation]. Instead, a youngster named Jie Lin, finding this method of Foundation Establishment too difficult, came up with his own way of using other objects between Heaven and Earth to build his foundation.”

“At first, I didn’t pay much attention. But in the blink of an eye, he used a millennium Hidden Dragon Grass from the Valley of Eternal Life to successfully establish his foundation.”

“Hehe, this being said, Jie Lin is indeed an extraordinary talent. Since he has already succeeded in Foundation Establishment, we don’t need to force him anymore. Just take him aside, and ensure the true Foundation Establishment Method does not spread among the disciples,” Xu Bai said, his expression softening as he instructed.

Liu San’s laughter came through from the other end: “Hehe, I’ve already done so. Such an extraordinarily talented person would have been quickly snatched up by the Immortal Dao Ten Clans in ancient times. Medicine King Sect wouldn’t have stood a chance. The era has truly changed.”

Xu Bai gave another instruction: “The success of Jie Lin in Foundation Establishment can be used to motivate the others. Maybe it will inspire more geniuses.”

“The Young Master always thinks things through.”
