My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 506: 478

“Finding them is entirely up to luck, flying from one point to another in the clouds to inspect personally.”

Xu Ke sighed, touched a colorful pouch hanging at his waist, and murmured, “It’s useless just to find them, we also need to figure out how to catch them.”

“These fellows, though they look so big, are actually more flexible than loaches.”

“The slightest disturbance around them, and they will vanish into the sky. Several times I was about to catch them, but they still escaped.”

“Ah, I don’t know when I will be able to complete the task Brother Lu Ya assigned me. This is the first time he has trusted me with such a serious task, I absolutely cannot mess it up.”

…

As Xu Ke rambled on, Li Fan listened, lost in thought.

Based on Xu Ke’s description, the Splitting Realm Whales at this time were significantly different from what Li Fan had seen thousands of years later.

Not only were they many times larger, their temperament was also different – no longer shy, and even had a strong aggressiveness.

“They’re more like a subspecies with different habits.”

“With Xu Ke’s luck, capturing the Rift Realm Whale Swarm shouldn’t be too difficult.”

“After capturing enough of them, further selective breeding can be conducted using the methods of the Beast Taming Sect…”

After thinking about the conversation he had overheard between Lu Ya and Emperor Tri-Moa in his past life, Li Fan grew thoughtful.

“So capturing the Rift Realm Whales was actually Mr. Bai’s request?”

“If that’s the case, was the group of Rift Realm Whales roaming outside the Small World his doing?”

He yanked at Xu Ke’s hair, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a little confused.

When he first saw the swarms of Splitting Realm Whales pushing the Mortals’ Small World away from the Immortal Cultivation World, Li Fan had exclaimed, “Just how much did those cultivators back then hate ordinary people?”.

From his perspective at that time, severing ordinary people from the Immortal Cultivation World and hence the Immortal Path, was naturally a punishment for them.

But now, after experiencing various situations in the Immortal Cultivation World and understanding how cultivators treat mortals, he had a different idea.

Cultivators treat mortals like ants, wanting them as they please.

They even raise them like livestock, extracting their essence and energy with array techniques.

And this is now when mortals have the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma within them, and the cultivators have to somewhat restrain their actions.

In the Ancient Xian Realm, the treatment of mortals was even more tragic.

Used as materials for refining the [Fruit of Eternal Renewal], and cultivators would not care about the lives of mortals during their battles…

Escaping the control of the fairies might not necessarily be such a bad thing for mortals.”

“Could it be that Mr. Bai is genuinely a kind-hearted person, just like the orphans in Ningyuan City said?”

A thought emerged in Li Fan’s mind.

“It’s too early to draw any conclusions.”

“More information needs to be gathered.”

Then Li Fan took another swipe at Xu Ke, aggressively urging him to find the Rift Realm Whales quickly.

Meanwhile, Li Fan himself nestled within the strands of hair, cultivating and comprehending the Creation Furnace Skill, while operating the “Destiny is in Me” secret technique.

Helping Xu Ke to condense his fortune.

After several fruitless attempts, Xu Ke, who was usually carefree, became somewhat anxious.

“Rift Realm Whale, Rift Realm Whale, where on earth are you?”

He kept murmuring repetitively, his eyes filled with longing.

Li Fan suddenly lifted his head.

He noticed that the purple radiance of fortune above Xu Ke’s head seemed to have dissipated a portion along with Xu Ke’s whisperings.

He didn’t know where it had vanished.

The disappearance of the fortune, however, produced immediate effects.

Originally, it usually took more than ten days to spot a trace of the Rift Realm Whale, but subsequently, it was noticed more and more frequently.

Through constant trials, Xu Ke gradually found a method to approach the Rift Realm Whale without it noticing.

However, capturing an Exotic Beast alive with the [Beasts pouch] was not an easy task.

Especially for a beginner like Xu Ke.

After a standoff, it eventually managed to escape.

Xu Ke, drenched in sweat and nearly exhausted, collapsed on the ground in frustration.

But soon he again gathered his spirits and set off to find the next Rift Realm Whale.

In his relentless trials, the Golden Purple Fortune Light Pillar continued to diminish.

The speed of its consumption far exceeded the speed at which Li Fan could replenish it through a secret technique.

Ultimately, it seemed a little more dim than it had been previously.

However, it was not a wasted effort.

Four months later, after countless hardships, Xu Ke successfully captured a Rift Realm Whale.

The [Beasts pouch] was quietly floating in the void, no longer shaking violently.

Xu Ke excitedly held it tightly in his hand and shouted with joy.

“Finally, the mission is completed. Now I can report back to Senior Brother Lu Ya!”

“Little Green! Let’s go home!” Xu Ke called out the Azure Luan Bird and hopped onto her with excitement.

Li Fan’s gaze focused and he carefully examined the Azure Luan Bird.

The Azure Luan Bird completely ignored Li Fan and affectionately rubbed her neck against Xu Ke.

Then she spread her wings and took him flying towards the heavens.

“I never expected that thousands of years later, she would become the empire’s [Saint Master].” Sensing the familiar aura on Little Green, Li Fan, who confirmed his previous guess, was somewhat astonished.

Having not seen her in more than three years, the Azure Luan Bird looked even more divine than what Li Fan had seen of her in the Fallen Immortal Realm in his previous life.

Not only was her flight speed multiplied several times, but there were also faint blue lights emerging from her body during flight, covering Xu Ke and Li Fan, isolating them from the wind, thus making the journey more comfortable.

Xu Ke, who hadn’t rested for a long time, fell asleep on the Azure Luan Bird’s back.

Little Green, on the other hand, continued to fly diligently.

After a long gaze, Li Fan slowly withdrew his eyes.

The Azure Luan Bird flew higher and higher, with Li Fan standing on top of Xu Ke, looking down.

Only then did he realize that this Small World was not so much a canyon of a single strip, but more like a scar made by someone with a sharp tool.

However, this scar also symbolized life. Apart from this long rift, the world was nothing but scorched earth.

Red raging flames scorched the earth and eerie magma flowed freely.

But all of this destructive power stopped at the edge of the rift.

The force that created the canyon still lingered, preventing the erosion of the flames.

Thus, in this Small World that could be likened to Purgatory, a vibrant paradise was created.

“Different perspectives yield different answers to the same issue.”

Li Fan, as he thought about the issue of mortals leaving the Xuanhuang World, seemed to have had a realization.

Through an invisible passage in the sky, they returned to the Xuanhuang World again.

The soft white light gradually disappeared. When Li Fan could see the scenery clearly, he was slightly surprised.

Because they’d just flown out of a painting.
