My Simulated Road to Immortality
Chapter 1021 - 976 - The Dark Gold Liuli Lotus (Monthly Ticket Debt Repayment 4/37)

Hearing Lin Ling’s promises, Li Fan’s thoughts immediately locked onto Taoist Child Liuli, who was in the Spirit Tree Realm.

She was now staring wide-eyed, standing in front of a Heaven and Earth Furnace, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Just like the ’Colored Jade Hollow Glare,’ it’s a gold light of the world’s level. This little thing really isn’t simple."

"She looks harmless to humans and animals, and even I almost overlooked her."

Li Fan could naturally distinguish whether Lin Ling was lying or not.

With a thought, the Spirit Tree Realm seemed to produce a pair of invisible giant hands. In an instant, it captured Taoist Child Liuli and brought her before Li Fan.

Liuli felt a blur before her eyes, and the scenery suddenly changed.

When she saw Li Fan’s face, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She wanted to say something, her lips moved up and down, but she couldn’t make a sound.

"I heard from Zhong Shentong before that when you were first fished out of the Fishing Pond, you were still a transparent fruit, just like Liuli."

"To be able to show gold light, this fruit of yours must also be a great nourishing item."

Li Fan didn’t seem to intend to ask questions, but instead continuously formed hand seals with both hands and set up an array technique around Liuli that resembled an Elixir Furnace.

Feeling the scorching heat around her, Taoist Child Liuli’s face turned pale. She waved her pale arms desperately trying to explain something.

However, Li Fan completely ignored her, seeming to want to refine Liuli and eat her on the spot.

The enormous pressure around quickly made it impossible for Liuli to move. She floated in the air, stiff as if she were bound by ropes.

Watching Taoist Child Liuli, who seemed to have no power to fight back, Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to strengthen the output of the array technique.

Within the Elixir Furnace Array Technique, nine fiery red Fire Dragons revealed themselves. They roared furiously and together they shot dazzling firelight at Liuli, who was bound.

Behind Li Fan, Lin Ling watched this scene with a chilling heart, her body trembling slightly.

She didn’t expect her master to act without a second word, and without even half a question of interrogation, he was ready to roast Liuli directly!

With such decisive killing intent, he surely wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest if he really wanted to kill her.

From then on, Lin Ling dared not harbor the slightest disloyalty in her heart.

However, within the array furnace, Taoist Child Liuli did not dissipate in the firelight as Lin Ling had imagined.

From within her body, bursts of dark gold light suddenly erupted, blocking the flames outside.

No matter how Li Fan urged the array technique, he was always unable to break through the protection of the dark gold light.

Li Fan snorted lightly and continued to draw in the surrounding Spiritual Energy, continuously generating molten fire, roasting Liuli.

He wasn’t really trying to kill Liuli, but rather, he was using this method akin to boiling a frog in warm water to force out Liuli’s true form.

Inside the furnace of the array technique, the two forces continued to oppose and deadlock each other.

Releasing the dark gold light shield seemed to place a higher burden on Liuli. Her eyes slowly closed, and her body slowly curled up, bending her knees and embracing them like an infant, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

But the dark gold light around her became more and more stable.

Next to Taoist Child Liuli, a six-petal lotus took shape!

Once the Liuli Lotus was formed, the flames sprayed by the nine Fire Dragons could no longer harm it, easily being blocked on the outside, no matter how wildly the flames raged, the Liuli Lotus remained immovable.

"What is this..."

It seemed there was nothing similar within the Xuanhuang World. Even the [Celestial Doctor Immortal Scripture] had no records of such an item.

It must be an object from another Immortal Cultivation World.

"The six petals should only be its juvenile state," Li Fan observed the Liuli lotus in the flame closely, a sudden intuition striking his heart.

Having achieved his goal, Li Fan withdrew his Divine Technique.

The nine Fire Dragons vanished in an instant, but Taoist Luli was still bound.

Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice thunderous, echoing in the space around them, "Do you think that with this broken lotus protecting you, I can’t harm you?"

"That would be underestimating us cultivators from the Xuanhuang World too much!"

With that said, Li Fan released a beam of Seven-color Divine Light.

Contained within the Divine Light was a small piece of Grey Mold Spot.

There were initially two pieces of Grey Mold Spot cultivated from the split. The larger piece had been used up against Dharma Transmitter Jiang previously.

The remaining smaller piece, despite its size, hadn’t lost any of its natural world-eroding power. The moment it appeared, even though it was still wrapped in Seven-color Divine Light, the Liuli lotus felt an extreme sense of crisis!

The body of Liuli couldn’t stop trembling, and the six petals protecting her were continuously moving with dark gold light.

In a moment of transformation, it seemed as though another new petal was about to emerge.

The Seven-color Divine Light was about to collide with the Liuli lotus, the Grey Mold Spot nearly being released.

Just at that moment, a cold female voice suddenly resonated inside Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness, "Hold on!"

The Seven-color Divine Light stopped instantly.

"I hadn’t expected that this world too would be affected by the Secret Technique of [Vanish]..."

"The Secret Technique of [Vanish]…" Li Fan’s heart stirred, yet he remained calm on the outside, "Please, fellow Daoist, show yourself!"

The cold female voice no longer concealed itself, and the Liuli lotus bloomed slowly, revealing a virtual shadow in dark gold before Li Fan.

Even though her appearance was blurred and indistinguishable within the Gold Light.

Yet the regal aura she exuded was enough to signify her identity to some extent.

"I have seen you, Cultivator from Xuanhuang World!"

"Fellow Daoist infiltrated our Xuanhuang World with ill intentions," Li Fan sized up the gold figure before him, momentarily unable to gauge her true strength.

Without a human body and existing only in an energy form, logic would suggest she must be severely wounded and left with no choice but to do so. However, Li Fan didn’t sense any weakness from this Gold Light, but instead an infinite vitality.

Resilient and strong.

Gold Light spoke with an apologetic tone, "It’s not that I intentionally concealed myself; it was truly beyond my control."

Without waiting for Li Fan to ask, she continued to explain, "Any Immortal Cultivation World that still survives in the Star Ocean of the Abyss is very hostile to outsiders. With my current state, openly revealing my identity would probably not allow me to live long."

"Star Ocean of the Abyss?" Li Fan tilted his head slightly, probing further.

"It’s a collective term for all the star domains affected by the [Immortal Ruins]."

As if realizing something, Gold Light quickly added, "Each Immortal Cultivation World has a different name for it…"

"I see. We, Cultivators from the Xuanhuang World, call it [Sea of the Abyssal Stars]," Li Fan said timely.

"Abyssal…" Gold Light fell silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Indeed, the name is quite fitting."

"Who are you, fellow Daoist, which clan do you hail from? Why did you appear in the Fishing Pond and, most crucially, was it you who caused the Fishing Pond to disappear?" Li Fan bombarded her with questions, his tone and expression growing steadily colder.
