My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 837: Chapter 799: Mr. Bai in Another World

It was now the 5th year of anchoring.

Li Fan did not head to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

Instead, he first quietly arrived at the entrance of Li World.

Through the Space Tunnel, Li Fan flew straight to the volcano near the center of the Li World.

In the scorching air, a thick sulfur smell permeated.

Nearby, traces of rampaging magma that had not yet fully solidified could vaguely be seen.

It seemed that the volcano had just undergone a violent eruption.

Suspended midair, Li Fan observed the volcano carefully.

The odd feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

“Indeed, there is something odd.”

After a long while, a hint of curiosity appeared in Li Fan’s eyes.

Perhaps it was because he had ascended to the Nascent Soul Realm before and had a Cave Heaven within him.

Or perhaps it was because he once merged his body with the Heavenly Dao of a Small World as Xu Bai.

Li Fan’s perception of “Cave Heavens, Small Worlds” had become much sharper.

Under this observation, he instantly knew where the strangeness he felt every time he saw this volcano of Li World came from.

“This volcano doesn’t belong to Li World at all. It comes from another Small World!”

“No wonder there is always a sense of disharmony that doesn’t quite fit in!”

Actually, the terrain around here had already hinted at the problem.

Upon an endless plain, a brutal volcano rose abruptly.

This was clearly very abnormal.

Mortals simply attributed this to the mighty power of Creation by Heaven and Earth.

But cultivators like Li Fan could indeed discern the underlying reasons.

Li Fan’s interest was immediately piqued.

“What is going on? Why would a volcano from another Small World appear so abruptly in Li World?”

Li Fan casually set up protection around himself and then flew into the mouth of the volcano.

The hot, churning magma couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

Li Fan delved deeper into the volcano, trying to find the source of the abnormality from within.

Not until he reached the bottom, where the volcano intersected with the leylines, did he finally make a discovery.

“This is…”

Li Fan reached out and drew a wisp of Terrestrial Flame into his palm.

Even with his protective level of Mid Stage Golden Core, he still felt somewhat burned.

“It’s not Spiritual Energy. But it is a kind of extraordinary power.”

“Li World is a purely Mortal World. It doesn’t have the conditions to produce this kind of Terrestrial Flame.”

Li Fan returned the Terrestrial Flame and began to observe the space meticulously once again.

Compared to the volcanic mouth, the flow of magma here was more gentle and calm.

It occasionally burped small bubbles.

At the edge of the Sea of Magma, there was a layer of border that was barely noticeable.

Hidden within the orange-red magma, it was unremarkable.

If one wasn’t searching deliberately, it would be very easy to overlook its existence.

From this boundary line, a power of the same origin as the Terrestrial Flame faintly emanated.

“Another Space Tunnel?”

Li Fan pondered thoughtfully.

After a moment of contemplation, and setting up a Protective Array around himself, he leaped into it.

Boom!

His vision blurred, and just as he entered, a fireball hurtled towards Li Fan.

Its power wasn’t very great, though, and the Protective Array repelled it automatically.

Li Fan initially thought it was an attack and braced himself.

Upon closer inspection, however, he relaxed. He was instantly captivated by the scenery of this world.

This was a world devoid of life, purely belonging to “fire.”

The Sea of Purgatory, composed of searing magma, churned endlessly.

Gigantic explosion noises occurred from time to time.

Accompanied by magma skyrocketing upward, then bursting open in midair.

Hundreds of red fire lines streaked across, smashing in all directions.

Falling back into the Sea of Magma, they incited a new series of chain reactions.

Flames are the eternal theme of this world.

Not only are there countless independent fires like flowers in the magma sea below, which stretches beyond sight,

but in the sky, one can also vaguely see giant flames floating on the wind, like a tapestry of various forms and colors.

The colors and shapes are each unique.

Among them, the aura of the strongest fires even made Li Fan feel a bit troubled.

But that was it.

After spending some time fully exploring this world, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a hint of regret, “The power level here is, at most, at the Final Stage Golden Core level.”

“If I were at the Nascent Soul Stage, even if the fires of this world were to burn me together, they would not cause me the slightest harm.”

“Valuable, but not greatly so.”

Li Fan shook his head slightly; by his estimation, even Cultivators interested in fire attribute powers wouldn’t pay more than two thousand contribution points for this world.

Such contribution points, naturally, were nothing in Li Fan’s eyes.

“Disappointing!”

Li Fan immediately lost interest.

He was about to return through the Space Tunnel he had come from, back to the Li Realm,

when he suddenly remembered something and stopped in his tracks.

After pondering for a moment, he changed direction and flew towards the high sky.

He continued his escape until he reached the edge of the world, close to the Endless Void.

Looking down from above, he could finally make out the complete picture of this world.

It was clearly visible that near the Space Tunnel leading to the Li Realm, the terrain of the magma sea was somewhat different from other places.

It appeared to have been struck by a violent impact.

There was a very conspicuous ring-shaped contour.

And looking into the Void, towards even more distant places,

one could vaguely make out the scenery of the Li Realm.

Li Fan immediately realized, “This is two Small Worlds in the Void that have collided with each other for some reason.”

“A part of the Fire World has deeply embedded itself into the Li Realm.”

“Two faces of the same entity. And as time goes by, it’s increasingly difficult for both sides to separate, gradually integrating.”

Li Fan quickly returned to the magma sea below.

“The energy level of this Fire World obviously surpasses that of the Mortal Li Realm by a lot.”

“The strong overpower the weak. In the long run, the only fate awaiting the Li Realm is to be devoured and assimilated.”

Li Fan mused thoughtfully.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, he thought of the extraordinary talents displayed by people like Su Xiaomei, Su Heng, and Ye Feipeng in the Li Realm.

In 115 World, he first trapped them on Bodhisattva Island,

then later imprisoned them in Medicine King Valley.

This continued for many years.

In the end, when they truly began their cultivation, it was found that the people of the Li Realm had already lost all their Spiritual Energy.

Back then, Li Fan even banished them from Medicine King Valley,

wanting to see if they could demonstrate their talents once the dragon returned to the sea.

Unfortunately, until the end of the world came, he did not hear any more news about them.

They had faded into the crowd.

“The talents of the Li Realm’s people do not come from themselves,”

“but from…”

Li Fan then remembered the birth of Su Xiaomei.

“Mothered without a father, conceiving through Destiny.”

Li Fan’s eyes lit up.

Having found the crux of the issue, he passed through the Space Tunnel under the volcano and returned to the Li Realm.

Before long, he located his target in the Grand Scholar’s residence in Capital City.

It was Su Xiaomei’s mother, Su Yuqing.

At this moment, she was not yet pregnant.

A young girl of little more than a decade, with a face full of naivety and innocence,

was playing in her family’s back garden, amusing herself with the butterflies alighting on the flowers.

Utterly engrossed.

The instant he saw her, a sense of familiarity surged through Li Fan’s heart.

“Mr. Bai?”
