My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 496
Chapter 496: Chapter 468 World’s True Phenomena
“Eternal Life Treasure Box, it seems that the Empire is indeed the inheritance from the Beast Taming Sect in the past.”
With the protection of Tianyang in God Transformation stage, Li Fan was now at ease to inspect the haul from his dealings with the Empire.
For other cultivators, the exhaustive information about various exotic beasts and the frozen specimens of exotic beasts in the Eternal Life Treasure Box might not be very useful.
But for Li Fan, who was cultivating “The Myriad Phenomena Technique of the Crucible”, these were indeed a massive treasure trove.
Li Fan could use the Furnace All-Encompassing Skill to transform and master all kinds of strange abilities of the various exotic beasts.
“The beauty of life, could’t be more than this!”
“I’m afraid that what’s recorded in the Celestial Doctor Immortal Scripture doesn’t cover all the living creatures in the world!”
Li Fan lightly pointed his finger and took out all the Book Worms from the Storage Ring.
He flipped through the books with his spiritual consciousness, and in an instant, countless beams of light were projected onto the air in the Cave Mansion.
The Huadao Stone in his spirit consciousness emitted a previously unseen bright blue light, and Li Fan, with his eyes slightly squinted, did his best to take in all the text and images he saw and store them in his spirit consciousness.
A tidal wave of information poured in, was sorted out, and then stored and archived in the Huadao Stone.
Amidst the sound of pages flipping, the light and shadow kept changing.
After recording all the contents of several pages, Li Fan felt a slight headache.
After a brief rest, and taking an Enlightenment Pill, Li Fan started “reading” again.
Over thousands of years of evolution, the Empire has given birth to many unique species.
Most of them were creatures that Li Fan had never seen in the Celestial Doctor Immortal Scripture.
They also don’t exist in today’s Xuanhuang World.
Their varied strange abilities, even for the well-informed Li Fan, were quite astonishing.
For example, the [Insect of Enlightenment] that resides in human brains and can enhance cognitive capability, the Mimic which, when ingested foreign bodies, can completely pretend to be the creature it consumed, and the [Thousand Spirit Avian] which feeds on human emotions…
All of these gave Li Fan a whole new perspective.
“All-Encompassing Crucible, this is the true myriad of phenomena that living beings should possess!”
As Li Fan sighed in admiration, the pages kept turning.
The accumulation of the Empire over thousands of years, in a short time, was all absorbed and became knowledge in Li Fan’s mind.
On the tenth day…
Li Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, massaged his slightly aching forehead, and put the Book Worms back into the Storage Ring.
Feeling the concerned gaze from Tianyang, Li Fan waved his hand to signal that he was fine.
After resting for a half of the day, when he had recovered some spirit, Li Fan removed the red wooden box.
According to the information seen in the Tianxuan Mirror before, this Eternal Life Treasure Box was a unique object of the Beast Taming Sect from ancient times.
It is said to be made of [Thousand Transformation Spirit Tree], capable of sealing and storing living exotic beasts.
Time changes, thousands of years passed, the Thousand Transformation Spirit Tree has almost become extinct.
The Eternal Life Treasure Box has also become a rare item.
“It seems my premonition was correct.”
“The familiar feeling I sensed from the lady in green should have come from the Azure Luan Bird that Xu Ke encountered in the Fallen Immortal Realm.”
“I wonder if the Crane is still there.”
“So, the founder of the Empire, the ancestor who first comprehended the Beast Taming Technique, would it be Xu Ke?”
“In the memory of Li Chenfeng, he has long been passed away. But the situation may not be as simple as it appears.”
Li Fan pondered to himself.
“Given the information currently known, it seems that only Xu Ke from the Beast Taming Sect came to that Small World and created the heritage of the Empire.”
“Where did the other members of the Beast Taming Sect go? What about Lu Ya?”
“Why did Emperor Tri-Moa come to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and become the curator of the Museum of Divine Artifacts?”
“What does all this have to do with Mr. Bai’s mission?”
There were too many uncertainties that he could not understand for the time being.
“During our next journey to the Fallen Immortal Realm, I should be able to solve some of these questions.”
“Soon.” Li Fan calculated the time and thought to himself.
After putting away the Eternal Life Treasure Box, Li Fan took out a Foundation Establishment level Beast Spirit Pearl.
One could say, that the generosity of the Empire this time went far beyond Li Fan’s expectations.
The power of the five hundred Foundation Establishment, four hundred and ninety Gold Core, and nine Nascent Soul’s Beast God Armor, if used well, could certainly stir up considerable turbulence.
Although this was only a theoretical level of combat power, in today’s Xuanhuang World, the actual combat power of cultivators was frighteningly low.
Besides the exceptional cultivators who specialized in combat, the ordinary people who knew a few attacking and life-preserving spells were already considered extraordinary.
The Beast God Armor, which can affect spirit consciousness, withstand most spell attacks, and move incredibly fast, is definitely a big killer for today’s ordinary cultivators.
“Just how to use this effectively to its full potential, I’ll have to think carefully about it.”
Li Fan put aside his thoughts for now, holding a Beast Spirit Pearl in his hand, pressing it into the center of his forehead.
Suddenly, there was a sea of blood before his eyes. In a daze, Li Fan seemed to see a ferocious one-eyed leopard lunging at him.
“Hmph!” Li Fan’s mind shot out like a needle towards the leopard.
The leopard let out a mournful wail, and in the blink of an eye, the illusion had already disappeared.
The Beast Spirit Pearl dissolved into a red liquid in a flash. Like a living entity, it streamed from his forehead to his limbs.
Li Fan sensed that there was a special energy attempting to invade his body.
Attempting to transform his flesh.
This was completely different from the pure strengthening of the body by the Creation Furnace Skill invoking the Power of Mi Chang from within the body.
Systems like the Beast God Armor is akin to grafting the power of an Exotic Beast onto a human body.
Although it temporarily boosts abilities, it also contaminates the body with the power of an Exotic Beast, making it impure.
“This is a deviant practice, not in line with the mainstream cultivation.”
Li Fan shook his head, the power of Mi Chang circulated within his body, erupted like a flood, and expelled the invading power of the Exotic Beast in an instant.
Once again, the mournful cry of the leopard entered his ears. The red liquid morphed from the Beast Soul Pearl was evaporated by Li Fan in an instant.
“It does indeed seem suited only for Mortals who cannot cultivate.”
“Or perhaps…”
A peculiar glint flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
He thought of Ye Feipeng from his previous life, who had awakened the Kunpeng Bloodline.
“Having a Demonic Beast Bloodline in the first place, naturally, there is no fear of this contamination.”
“In this life, He Zhenghao, who is following me, is making a fortune, and probably wouldn’t be interested in that smuggling business anymore.”
“As for people like Su Xiaomei, they are probably still in the Da Li realm. Without me, they would have no opportunity to come here.”
Li Fan gave a slight smile.
“The drama in this life wouldn’t be complete without these little guys.”
With that, Li Fan rose and said goodbye to Tianyang. He concealed himself and quietly arrived at the Da Li realm.
As always, he first came to the volcano in the center of the Da Li realm and observed it for a moment.
“Strange…” Li Fan shook his head.
He had found that the volcano seemed unusual from the first time he had come to the Da Li realm.
However, despite his scrutiny during every subsequent visit, he had never been able to figure out why.
As his cultivation base grew more profound, his forebodings became increasingly intense.
But he still hadn’t figured out the reason.
“Maybe after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, I will discover it.”
Li Fan made a mental note of this and headed straight for the Capital City of Da Li.
