My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 385: 361: Li Fan’s Heart Reversal Again

“How could this happen? Didn’t Leng Yingyi just bring back a batch of supplies?!”

“They actually made you, an Array Master, take the risk, what a bunch of bastards!”

“There’s a newly formed Mystical Realm blocking the path? No wonder…”

“You were lucky to have escaped from such a maze.”

“Ah, what a pity. You’ve slowed down a bit, and you haven’t got much time left to live.”

In the midst of the astonishment by a cultivator named Hao Hui, Li Fan recounted his experiences along the way.

Apart from omitting some details related to the Celestial Doctor in the Chaos Stone Maze, everything else was told truthfully without any embellishment.

Upon learning of Li Fan’s deeds and seeing the cultivator before him, whose hair had turned white and body weakened, but with a calm expression, a touch of respect flashed in Hao Hui’s eyes.

Such righteous cultivators were extremely rare even within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

He said solemnly, “You should get some rest, my friend. I will immediately send someone to the Jiaxu outpost. I will definitely live up to your desperation to ask for help.”

Li Fan coughed lightly and nodded slightly.

He had done all he could, and it was clear that his current physical condition could no longer endure more hardships.

He would need to recuperate properly in order to function normally.

Hao Hui left, closing the door behind him.

At the same time, Li Fan noticed that the dark shadow in the corner of the room disappeared along with Hao Hui.

“Even with the remaining 57 years of life in this world, I could take some Treasures to extend my life, but my current situation is similar to that of an Immortal Venerable on the verge of death, so the effect of prolonging life may not be as good as I’ve imagined.”

“Even if there isn’t much life left, it doesn’t mean I won’t be able to accomplish my goal.”

While Li Fan was deep in thought, in a secret place at the forefront of Duanzhang Immortal City, which directly faced the Roaring Abyss.

Innumerable Demon Sounds rushed out from the void of the abyss nearby, passing through a gap without any hindrance, constantly pouring into this space.

It was as if the indescribable sounds from the deepest layers of Purgatory were constantly echoing and wreaking havoc here.

The powerful and pure Demon Sound seemed to affect even the structure of the space itself.

One terrifying face after another was constantly forming here.

But in front of these inexplicable faces, a man sat cross-legged.

His features were unclear, and his body was wavering like the ripples of a flowing river, constantly flickering.

The Demon Sound, which ordinary cultivators found terrifying, seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.

Those twisted faces formed by the Demon Sound, upon getting close to him, were directly captured and ingested into his body.

His body continued its wavering fluctuations, and the faces disappeared.

Through all this, he remained extremely calm.

Suddenly, he waved his hand.

A gate made of bluestone rose, blocking the gap in this space.

The Demon Sound abruptly became quieter.

The light suddenly dimmed, and all the remaining faces of the Demon Sound disappeared in an instant.

His body flickered even more fiercely.

“Young Master.”

A dark shadow appeared beside him, transforming into a cultivator in a black robe.

He told him about what had just happened.

A moment later.

“Is this true?” Shang Shaojun sounded a bit skeptical.

“According to my observation, Li Fan did not lie. And indeed, his lifespan has almost been devoured by the Element Devouring White Fog.”

“I fear if he had been a little slower that day, whether he could have survived is questionable.”

“Before I came here, I confirmed with Ji Hongdao that there’s no problem with Li Fan’s identity.”

“On the path to the Jiaxu outpost, there are indeed signs of a new Mystical Realm.”

“However, it has returned to the depths of the White Mist and should have been a random occurrence.”

The cultivator in the black robe responded.

Shang Shaojun remained silent for a moment after hearing this.

“The more people who know about such a touching story, the better.”

“Especially now when people are unsettled, we need a stark contrast to make them feel ashamed.”

“You go ahead and handle this.”

A moment later, Shang Shaojun spoke slowly.

The cultivator in the black robe nodded.

He was about to leave, but glanced at Shang Shaojun, as if he was in a dilemma.

“Hmm?”

After hesitating for a moment, the cultivator in the black robe asked, “Yan Huan has been whipped publicly in the Immortal Stronghold for eleven days now.”

“When can he be let down?”

“It seems like he can’t hold out much longer.”

“Although it’s a performance, the Demon Sound Whip is real.”

The cultivator in the black robe spoke cautiously, fearing he might anger Shang Shaojun.

But Shang Shaojun wasn’t angry and said, “Originally, I let him deliberately spread rumors to improve the atmosphere within the Immortal Stronghold.”

“Now that we have such a good propaganda object, his role is irrelevant.”

“Let him down tomorrow.”

“Give him a Soul Restoring Pill so that he can rest well.”

The cultivator in the black robe showed a joyful expression, saying,”Thank you, Young Master.”

Then he silently disappeared within the secret room.

For Shang Shaojun, the conversation seemed to be just a trivial episode.

As the bluestone gate fell again, the rampant Demon Sound came flooding back again.

His body began to sway and flicker again.

Under Shang Shaojun’s actions, in less than half a day, the news of Li Fan’s desperate plea for help spread throughout the Eternal Immortal Stronghold.

There were those who were skeptical, but also those who were deeply moved.

And with the return of He Chen and other cultivators who were trapped at the Jiaxu outpost, the truth of the incident was confirmed.

Although there were a small number of cultivators who stubbornly believed that all of this was a self-directed and self-acted play.

But the vast majority chose to believe.

People were sighing and admiring Li Fan’s righteousness while feeling sorrow for his impending end.

As for Li Fan himself, after meeting wave after wave of visitors, he finally got some peace and quiet.

“After some recovery, I’ve finally managed to adapt to this old body.”

“Although I could change to a younger appearance, it wouldn’t draw attention as this one does.”

The first perfect completion of Reverse Cultivation Dao Heart made Li Fan intent on doing it again.

Thus, Li Fan was preparing for his second Reverse Cultivation Dao Heart plan.

“The original plan for the TianXuan Spirit Locking match was to get by as casually as possible.”

“But now, I intend to do the exact opposite.”

“I will use the limited remaining life to fully immerse myself into constructing Array Techniques.”

“To promote the TianXuan Spirit Locking method, I will burn every bit of my strength.”

“Until the very end of my life.”

Just thinking about it made Li Fan’s skin crawl.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Li Fan wore a determined expression.

With slow yet steady steps, he walked out of the room.
