My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 437:
Chapter 437: Chapter 411: The Emperor Weng, the Master of the Pavilion
“Swallow this [Legacy of the Eternal Will] quickly and then escape with [Real]!”
“Since it is placed in the centre of the Museum of Divine Artifacts, this skull must be extraordinary. Hurry up and absorb its remembrance. You can figure out the hidden secrets!”
“Act quickly!”
“Once you get it, nobody can stop you!”
The encouragement from [Real] became louder, accompanied by various thoughts surging in his mind.
They whispered constantly in his ear, tempting Li Fan.
For a moment, Li Fan was almost swayed to act.
But ultimately, with intense willpower, he managed to suppress his impulsive desire.
He recalled the scene when he was absorbing Tianyang’s [Legacy of the Eternal Will].
First, he felt the surrounding space become slightly unreal.
Then, Tianyang’s bones were broken down into crystal-clear white light and gradually absorbed by him.
His spirit consciousness trembled violently, he lost consciousness.
After seemingly experiencing Tianyang’s long life, the message from [Real] finally came.
In the end, the Legacy of the Eternal Will was fully absorbed.
Based on past experiences, Li Fan quickly made a judgement.
Absorbing the Legacy of the Eternal Will would cause quite a commotion. Not only would it cause the object imprinted with the remembrance to disappear, but the white light representing the [Legacy of the Eternal Will] would precisely mark Li Fan as the initiator.
The absorption of the Legacy of the Eternal Will was not instantaneous.
It took some time, and during this process, under the influence of the residual imprint of the owner’s remembrance, one might momentarily lose consciousness.
After realizing the above points, Li Fan made a swift judgement.
This skull’s [Legacy of the Eternal Will] couldn’t be absorbed!
If he was reckless enough to forcibly absorb it, it would be as good as actively seeking death!
Despite this place surrounding the skull seeming empty, as though it was not guarded.
But what is this place?
It’s the headquarters of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
The [Museum of Divine Artifacts] that houses innumerable treasures.
The most central area inside the Museum.
Could there be no hidden protective measures here?
That’s ridiculous.
Li Fan was certain that if he, blinded by greed, lost his judgement and forcibly absorbed the [Legacy of the Eternal Will],
In the next moment, countless mechanisms and restrictions would be activated. He would then be captured and studied.
Perhaps, there really was a slight chance that this skull was not protected at all.
But…
Li Fan wasn’t going to gamble.
Because if he failed, it would mean complete ruin.
As for the Legacy of the Eternal Will, according to the previous prompts from [Real],
Every time Li Fan came across the object carrying the [Legacy of the Eternal Will] after reset, he could repeat its usage after absorbing it.
Its nature was no different from the Huadao Stone in the tomb of Yi Yin. They were both objects that could be obtained repeatedly.
What completely deterred Li Fan from absorbing it, was that [Legacy of the Eternal Will] fundamentally could not be bound as an item for [Real].
Even after using [Real], he wouldn’t be able to bring it back.
With such high risk, it was destined to be in vain.
After summarizing the known information and carefully considering the risks, Li Fan should have completely discarded the idea of absorbing the [Legacy of the Eternal Will] here.
But its attraction to [Real] was so strong.
The wall built by reason was simply feeble.
The Grand Millstone of Heart Refinement spun madly as Li Fan did his best to suppress the surge of desire.
So, he requested guide Bing Yin to take him for a rest, away from this skull.
Bing Yin nodded in understanding and even kindly supported Li Fan.
To conceal his abnormal condition and also to distract himself,
Li Fan initiated a conversation, “Bing Yin elder, I heard you say earlier that the skull was specifically positioned in the center by the museum master?”
“Yes, it’s strange. With countless treasures in the museum, I don’t know why the museum master is particularly fond of it.” Bing Yin responded.
“It seems like this museum master might have noticed the legacy it contains.” Li Fan surmised to himself.
But he idly asked, “Who in the Alliance of Immortals is the museum master? I’ve never heard of him before.”
Bing Yin laughed, “It’s normal for you not to know. The museum master is reclusive and always prefers to keep a low profile. Even for us guides, it’s not easy to meet him.”
“But in the Immortal Alliance, there aren’t many who can claim to be above the museum master if we talk about seniority.”
Bing Yin said with some pride.
“Oh?” Li Fan couldn’t help being slightly curious.
Bing Yin lowered his voice several degrees, “The museum master has existed since the distant ancient ages when humanity was not yet thriving. That is a distant past.”
“There’s hardly anything in the world that can escape his discerning eye. He is indeed omniscient.”
Bing Yin’s admiration was evident in his words.
Li Fan, however, found Bing Yin’s words familiar.
“He symbolizes longevity and wisdom. We respectfully call him [Emperor Triple Immortal Elder].” Bing Yin slowly explained.
Li Fan’s expression changed slightly and he thought, “Emperor Triple… Tapir?”
Bing Yin, however, didn’t notice Li Fan’s change, and kept on explaining how knowledgeable and wise the old museum master was.
Even when the two arrived at the resting room, he was still enthusiastic.
However, seeing Li Fan’s poor physical condition, he tactfully stopped.
“You can rest assured in here.”
“The Museum of Divine Artifacts is too vast, it may take a while to visit.”
“This is a resting area specially set up for visitors, so you don’t need to worry about being disturbed.”
After informing Li Fan, seeing him gradually recover, Bing Yin left the control badge and left confidently.
Li Fan operated the Jade Badge, activated the restriction, and completely sealed off the rest room.
In the depths of the secret room, the eerie skull also disappeared from his perception range, and his trembling body gradually calmed down.
Like one who had just finished a great battle, Li Fan only felt drained.
His already ailing body was now even worse for wear.
“Legacy of the Eternal Will…”
Once calmed down, Li Fan thought about the reason why [Real] was so anomalous.
People feel hungry because they need to eat to supplement the energy necessary for survival.
Since [Real] could also generate hunger,
It must mean [Real] could also benefit from the [Legacy of the Eternal Will].
Temporarily putting aside the skull in the Museum of Divine Artifacts,
What in Tianyang’s legacy could [Real] need?
“Special: Legacy of the Eternal Will (Tianyang) (Usage: 1)”
As Li Fan looked at the information on [Real]’s screen, he made up his mind.
He took out materials from his Storage Ring and set up the ritual necessary to enter the Fallen Immortal Realm as a decoy.
Then, Li Fan consumed the last usage of the Legacy of the Eternal Will and activated [Real]’s Mimicry function.
After a bout of dizziness,
“Tianyang, it’s time to take your medicine…”
His master, Master Guangyang’s voice rang in Li Fan’s ear.
