My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 698: Chapter 664: Silken Beheading of Chi Jiu

With the participation of the Medicine King Sect disciples in management, Li Fan naturally didn’t have to worry too much.

After spending a month absorbing all the available Heaven’s Fortune in the Beast Type World, he finally reached a qualitative change.

In the Feather of the Mystic Bird, a faint image of a fledgling bird that had just hatched but hadn’t yet sprouted its feathers could be seen.

It bore some resemblance to Little Black when he was younger, but it was also somewhat different.

Closing his eyes, Li Fan perceived the entire Beast Type World appearing before his eyes like a cloud of light in the next moment.

The scenes within it, no matter how minute, could be grasped at a glance.

However, Li Fan realized that a certain range of distorting light and shadow emerged around the regions where Fang Zaiji and Liu San, the two Unity Path Experts, were. The visibility was not very clear. This was even when they perceived Li Fan peering and did not attempt to conceal themselves.

“In the Xuanhuang World, the influence of a Unity Path Expert practically encompasses an entire state. But within this Small World, a Harmonious Path Cultivator is already able to contend with the world itself. This is the inherent hierarchy gap,” Li Fan had a faint understanding.

With a slight shift in thought, he took a step forward – spanning thousands of miles in an instant – and appeared beside a clear pond on a mountaintop.

Previously, when he had been sweeping through the Beast Type World with Fang Zaiji, he passed this peak without noticing the pond on the mountaintop.

It was only after he had completely grasped the world’s Heaven’s Fortune that he noticed the anomaly here.

There was a wooden house by the pond. Li Fan pushed open the wooden door and went in.

In the room, a Mystic Bird whose feathers had lost their luster, stood with its head raised high.

Even though it still appeared majestic, it had already lost the breath of life.

“Little Black…” Li Fan recognized the identity of the Mystic Bird at a glance.

“Could this be… death due to exhaustion of lifespan?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After observing for a while, Li Fan muttered in silence.

Although they had a longer lifespan than cultivators, this Heavenly Mandate Mystic Bird had also reached the end of its life after surviving since the ancient times.

But soon, Li Fan detected something was off.

Little Green, theoretically, was an Exotic Beast from the same era as Little Black, and moreover, the strength of the Azure Luan Bird was far inferior to the Heavenly Mandate Mystic Bird.

Not to mention, Little Black had already fused with the Heavenly Mandate of this world.

There was no reason for Little Green to still be alive and kicking while Little Black had already fallen.

“Could it be that for some reason, Little Black massively exhausted his own lifespan?”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes.

Operating the Divine Technique ‘Destiny is in Me’, and with the Field of Heavenly Fate safeguarding him, Li Fan gently touched the corpse of the Mystic Bird.

“Hoo!”

Like the breeze blowing, Little Black’s body instantly turned into fine particles and vanished into thin air.

At the same time, numerous vague images flashed through Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness.

At first, they were similar to what Li Fan had experienced in the Fallen Immortal Realm.

Growing up happily together with Xu Ke in the Beast Taming Sect, encountering the arrival of Mr. Bai, and then being dispatched to Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain…

Ultimately failing the ‘Ring of Unity’ test and being exiled here by the Emperor Tri-Moa.

The difference was that in real history, Little Black did not seize the opportunity when he saw Mr. Bai.

Without the Creation True Mysterious Skills and upon arriving in this Small World, he could only cultivate based on the inherited memory of the Divine Techniques in his own bloodline.

Even though he managed to reach the Divine Technique ‘Destiny is in Me’ after enduring long eras, he was already bound to the fate of this world.

In order to leave the world here, it was possible but required a substantial price.

But as long as one doesn’t leave one’s own Primordial World too frequently, or continues to nourish oneself with Heaven’s Fortune after returning, it wouldn’t be that easy to sustain fatal damage.

However, Little Black did exactly that.

The reason being…

Li Fan organized and examined the memories after Little Black came to the Beast Type World.

At the beginning, in order to prevent Little Black from being lonely, Xu Ke often sent messages, telling stories about his experiences.

“Little Black, do you know? The journey has been so thrilling and exciting! We encountered numerous unique Small Worlds and were hunted by Demonic Beasts!”

“Ah, at first we thought someone leaked information. But we later discovered that it was purely because of our bad luck. We bumped into a team of Demonic Beasts that we had no idea why they were in the Small World as well. We took the initiative to attack, but a Demonic Beast managed to escape, causing our retreat to be exposed.”

“Fortunately, we were close to our destination!”

…

“Little Black, Little Black! Do you still remember Mr. Bai? I originally thought he was already amazing. But I didn’t expect him to be even stronger than I imagined! I and a group of brothers were ordered to explore a Small World. I didn’t expect that we would encounter a terrifying Monster!”

“Nine heads, its body was so large that it sprawled across the sky! Whenever it opened its mouth, it seemed as if it could tear and swallow a part of the world!”

“I thought I was done for! That I wouldn’t see Little Black again!”

“But when I left the Xuanhuang World, my senior brother Lu Ya gave me a Red String woven by Mr. Bai. When the nine-headed monster looked at me, a thin thread flew out from the Red String!”

“Before I could react, the red thread was like a sharp sword, piercing the sky. In an instant, it severed six of the monster’s heads!”

“Moreover, the Red String hadn’t dispersed. It pulled it down from the sky, as if it was alive!”

“I was dumbstruck! Mr. Bai is really strong!”

…

“Little Black, I received an extremely important task, and I may not be able to communicate with you for a long time.”

“I’m really sorry. But it’s okay, just wait for me to come back!”

…

“Little Black, why do you think cultivators, who were originally humans, become so cruel to their own kind once they step on the path of cultivation?”

…

Various scenes rapidly flitted past Li Fan’s eyes.

Li Fan then knew that Xu Ke had come to the Beast Type World and met with Little Black once.

At that time, Xu Ke had already matured into a handsome and extraordinary young man.

The master and servant reunited, conversing for a long time beside this mountaintop pond.

Later, Xu Ke still had to come and go in a hurry.

Little Black initially wanted to follow Xu Ke, but the prohibition set by Emperor Tri-Moa was still intact, and Xu Ke said there were major changes happening outside, which would be dangerous for Little Black.

He asked Little Black to stay here and wait until the time was ripe, then he would come and take Little Black away.

After parting, they communicated several more times.

But the gap between each communication grew increasingly long, as evidenced by the tone and content of the communications, which bore witness to Xu Ke’s growth.

Until one day…

Little Black suddenly lost Xu Ke’s signal.

As Xu Ke’s companion beast, even though their master-servant relationship was no longer present, there was still a mysterious connection between them.

Even if they were separated by countless miles, or even several worlds apart.

Little Black could still faintly perceive Xu Ke’s existence.

And now that this perception has disappeared, there is only one possibility.

That is, Xu Ke is dead.
