My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 516: Chapter 488: Achieving the Best of Both Worlds

The ground was shaking more and more violently, making it almost impossible to stand.

The vast Ten Thousand Immortals Island, in sight, was uprooting from the ground, slowly rising into the sky.

Some cultivators tried to take a desperate gamble and breakout of the encirclement.

But all of them met the same fate.

As soon as they left the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, they were pierced and killed by the light falling from the sky.

The cries and screams of the cultivators could be heard constantly.

The surrounding space seemed to be completely sealed, even the peculiar sights of cultivators falling from the sky looked like eerie distortions, layered and squeezed together.

The fierce attack from the Five Elders Organization made the frantic cultivators temporarily calmed down.

Because they found that as long as they stayed on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, the Five Elders Organization seemed to have no intent to attack temporarily.

Therefore, they could only tremble and look up at the purple door that was getting closer and closer to them.

“Could it be possible that the Five Elders Organization is directing such a huge operation against me?” Li Fan, witnessing this scene and recalling the previous incidents of a few Nascent Soul Monks trying to capture him, couldn’t help but think that.

“That territory over there, it’s not so easy to deal with. If I get caught, I would be taken to [Country of Truth], where lying is impossible. Once they start asking questions, the stories about time travel and truth will be fully exposed, won’t they?”

Li Fan still had a clear understanding of his current capabilities, he was unable to stop the Heavenly Monarch’s Principle.

“Should I use the True Form…”, Li Fan hesitated for a moment.

After thinking for a while, Li Fan decided to wait and see the situation for the time being.

After all, the situation hadn’t yet deteriorated to the point where his life was in danger.

The horizon line, which was initially at the same level as the water, had now disappeared from sight.

The whole Ten Thousand Immortals Island was flying in mid-air, the faces of the Five Elders’ Monks up in the sky were clearly visible.

Just then, there was another commotion on the island.

A large crowd of cultivators suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

There were so many of them, suddenly all squeeze together, making the Ten Thousand Immortals Island seem somewhat unable to accommodate them all.

Their loud voices came out from the crowd.

“What’s going on? Where is this?”

“I remember I was practicing in the Tianxuan Mirror. How did I suddenly appear here?”

“Look over there! The Tianxuan Mirror has turned into a stone!”

Hearing their intermittent exclamations, Jiao Xiuyuan murmured to himself: “Damn, even the Tianxuan Mirror has withdrawn its [Empowerment], looks like I can’t count on the reinforcements.”

Li Fan then realized that these people were all cultivators practicing in the Tianxuan Mirror Space on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

Now that the Ten Thousand Immortals Island was about to be captured by the Five Elders Organization, the Tianxuan Mirror, for its own safety consideration, cancelled the so-called [Empowerment].

It turned that infinite useful mirror on the island into a regular stone.

The cultivators awakening from their seclusion, looking at the enemies all over the sky, finally realized their current situation.

“Fellow Daoists, I heard that the Five Elders Organization has something called [Soul Contract]. Once signed, our Divine Souls will be completely controlled by them. Without freedom, we would rather be dead than alive!”

“Yes, they definitely want to capture us alive and force us to sign the Soul Contract!”

“Being controlled by others is no better than fighting for our lives. With so many of us, there maybe a thin line of survival!”

After the surprise, someone soon started to shout and rally everyone together to break through the blockade of the Five Elders Organization.

The so-called strength is in numbers.

With so many cultivators appearing out of thin air, the cultivators on the island, part of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, grew bolder.

Soon, under the leadership of one or two cultivators, they started a death charge.

Li Fan, however, didn’t blindly follow them. Looking at Jiao Xiuyuan, who was rotating his eyes, he tugged at his clothes and whispered, “Friend Jiao, do you have a way to escape?”

Jiao Xiuyuan chuckled and held out his palm, gesturing a “five”.

“Sure! Only 50,000 contribution points, I’ll transfer it to you now!” Li Fan nodded.

Jiao Xiuyuan’s face turned dark: “Is your life, Master Li Fan, only worth this much?”

“500,000 contribution points! And that’s considering the close calls we’ve been through together!”

Li Fan looked at Jiao Xiuyuan and smiled slightly.

Not bargaining with him, he transferred the 500,000 contribution points on the spot.

“Brother, I’m not greedy. Let’s keep things clear, even between close brothers.” Jiao Xiuyuan explained for himself.

Then he spoke softly: “At the moment, the only possible way to escape from the Ten Thousand Immortals Island is through the ancient tree in the [Pavilion of Gentle Winds].”

“Pavilion of Gentle Winds…” Li Fan’s eyes flickered.

In his 113th life, he had come into contact with the Pavilion of Gentle Winds, a loan organization hidden on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, through He Zhenghao.

The human-faced ancient tree inside had left a deep impression on him.

The place where the ancient tree was located, seemed to have its own space.

Moreover, it was capable of gathering a considerable amount of Spirit Mist Grass in an instant, just like the Tianxuan Mirror, it was connected to other spaces in the outer world.

“Thank you, Friend Jiao for the guidance!”

Li Fan cupped his hands in thanks, about to leave.

Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something and soon came back.

Li Fan stared intently at Jiao Xiuyuan, making him feel uneasy.

“Friend Li Fan, why are you looking at me instead of escaping?” Jiao Xiuyuan was a bit confused.

“Friend Jiao, tell me, is this body of yours for sale?” Li Fan asked ominously.

Jiao Xiuyuan was taken aback, immediately put some distance between him and Li Fan.

“You…” Jiao Xiuyu looked at Li Fan in disbelief, as if he had seen his true face for the first time.

Ignoring Jiao Xiuyuan’s random thoughts, Li Fan said to himself: “I’ve been staying within the territory of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals ever since I awakened.”

“I now have a brief understanding of the whole Alliance but when it comes to the Five Elders Organization, an entity that can stand on equal footing with the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, I haven’t had a chance to see them.”

“The information on it in the Alliance is also pitifully scarce. I’m really curious about the Five Elders Organization.”

Li Fan inspected Jiao Xiuyuan’s Puppet Body.

“My main body, of course, has to escape. However, I also want to take this opportunity to see the scenery on the other side.”

“Is there a way to let me temporarily control your Puppet Body, Friend Jiao?”

Li Fan asked slowly.

Only then did Jiao Xiuyuan realize Li Fan’s intention.

He thought for a moment and murmured softly: “You should have said that earlier, you gave me a fright.”

“As long as the price is right, it’s not impossible.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan was immediately delighted.

“Good! Friend, name your price!”

Jiao Xiuyuan again gestured “five”. Not giving Li Fan a chance to misinterpret, he added, “This is my first time being possessed!”

“500,000 contribution points, not a penny less!”

“500,000 it is. I, Li Fan, am not a stingy person.”
