My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1282 - 1231_2

Thinking back to the three strange demands Xu Ke had entrusted him with earlier, Sun Erlang felt an inexplicable unease stirring within him.

A mysterious whispering sound also reached his ears.

Just when Sun Erlang couldn’t help but listen, a chilling cold suddenly triggered on its own in his heart.

The noise by his ears instantly disappeared, replaced by Xu Ke’s low reminder.

"Don’t pay attention to those peculiar sounds."

Sun Erlang was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

He considered himself not a man of weak willpower, especially having experienced another lifetime in the real world, in the simulation created by the Taiyan Sect’s Dao Stone.

Yet, his centuries of experience crumbled before those eerie sounds, almost capitulating in an instant.

"If it weren’t for the master personally imparting the Immortal Heart Spell, I might have been doomed."

"This Xu Ke…"

Sun Erlang dared not look again at Xu Ke and the coffin behind him, but instead quickened his pace.

Before long, the group crossed the lengthy void journey and arrived outside the Da Qi Miniature World.

"Eh?"

This time, the voice of uncertain surprise came from Xu Ke.

Sun Erlang turned his head to look and saw, for some reason, the coffin behind him had again decayed and shrunk somewhat.

It almost looked no different from the world where Xu Ke originally resided.

The Holy Capital had already been informed in advance, and all of Da Qi’s people had returned to their homes.

The vast city was empty, leaving only a straight path to the Saint Emperor Seat opened up for Xu Ke.

"My master has been waiting for you, sir," Sun Erlang said respectfully.

There was no longer need for guidance.

Since arriving here, Xu Ke had already sensed that all-encompassing, sun-like powerful aura enveloping the entire miniature world.

It was far beyond the ordinary Unity Realm.

It even somewhat suppressed the Xuan Huang evil spirit sealed inside the coffin behind him.

What made Xu Ke somewhat incredulous was that he faintly felt a familiar sensation from this powerful aura.

But…

"How could it be possible?"

Xu Ke’s heart carried a mix of doubts, apprehensions, and an unknown excitement.

He finally entered into the Saint Emperor Seat.

Once he clearly saw the figure seated above, Xu Ke felt relieved.

Yet, he also felt a twinge of disappointment.

"I thought too much, how could it be Mr. Bai who had long passed away?"

He forcibly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his Spirit Consciousness and scrutinized the rumored Da Qi’s Faceless Saint Emperor.

Or rather, the Heavenly Emperor.

At the same time, Li Ping was observing Xu Ke.

And the coffin behind him.

Li Ping naturally saw more than what Sun Erlang had.

He saw not rotten wood, but a barely visible transparent pale figure.

The figure possessed the most handsome face in the world, yet it was coupled with an expression filled with bitterness and evil.

Li Ping sensed that the urging from the Xuan Huang Heavenly Path was descending again.

And it was more intense than before.

Simultaneously, the pale Xuan Huang evil spirit seemed to sense something too.

It suddenly lifted its head and stared intently at Li Ping.

In contrast, Xu Ke’s coffin behind him started shaking violently.

Loud banging noises also echoed within the grand temple.

"You…"

Xu Ke suddenly became alert.

His figure retreated explosively, with a spinning wheel illusion appearing above his head.

A golden spinning wheel rapidly rotated, and images and roars of innumerable monstrous beasts emerged from it.

He attempted to suppress the violently shaking coffin.

But the struggle of the Xuan Huang evil spirit was unprecedentedly intense.

Only when the Heavenly Emperor Li Ping, moved in his heart, slightly activated the "Heaven and Earth Wanspirit, All Living Beings Refine God" within the Da Qi Miniature World and blocked the Xuan Huang Heavenly Path did the other half of the Xuan Huang evil spirit that resonated with him gradually calm down.

At this moment, Xu Ke, who had tried and found himself unable to fly out no matter what, also gave up his futile actions.

He stared coldly at Li Ping: "Who exactly are you?"

Xu Ke now understood that this Emperor was targeting the sealed Xuan Huang evil spirit.

"Who I am…"

Li Ping paused slightly: "That’s not actually important. What’s important is, it’s time for things to return to their original owner."

Xu Ke’s expression changed abruptly: "Return to their original owner?"

"Mr. Bai once failed a mission from the Heavenly Dao and even sealed part of its power. Now I shall correct the chaos and return these powers to the heavens." Although Li Ping’s voice was not loud, it echoed continuously within the Saint Emperor Seat.

To Xu Ke’s ears, it was like thunder.

"What did you say?!"

Having lived for so long, Xu Ke had witnessed many bizarre occurrences in his years. However, he had never been so shocked before.

"Blocking is not as good as dredging. Sealing is only a temporary measure; the longer the suppression, the more severe the backlash when it devours and traps. Didn’t Mr. Bai teach you this?"

"How much longer can you hold on?"

Li Ping didn’t give Xu Ke time to react, continuously shaking his spirit consciousness.

Cold sweat dripped from Xu Ke’s forehead.

"You are..." he asked, somewhat in disbelief.

"The Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang?"

The moment the words were spoken, the air within the Saint Emperor Seat seemed to freeze mysteriously.

After a brief silence, Li Ping just lightly laughed.

"No."

This answer obviously was beyond Xu Ke’s expectation, and he suddenly fell into confusion.

"After Mr. Bai’s betrayal, do you think the Xuanhuang Heaven Path will still trust cultivators?" Li Ping’s tone was inexplicable.

"I am not the Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang."

"I am the Xuanhuang Heaven Path."

Saying this, Li Ping suddenly stood up from the Saint Emperor Seat.

In an instant, his figure seemed to expand infinitely.

Like a giant standing tall between heaven and earth, filling Xu Ke’s entire field of vision.

And the originally extremely strong aura on Li Ping erupted and soared once more.

With the Array of the Ten Thousand Spirits’ cover gone, Li Ping borrowed the power of the Xuanhuang Heaven Path.

And for his other half that was sealed, the Xuan Huan Heavenly Path was unusually generous this time.

A fissure faintly appeared above the Da Qi Miniature World.

It was a sign that the whole world had been stretched to its limits.

If not for the recent years under Li Ping’s management, where Da Qi had upgraded quite a bit and its limits far exceeded ordinary miniature worlds,

It might have been directly blown apart.

Although it seemed to the Law Transmission Heavenly Tribe and the True Immortals of Immortal Ruins that the Xuanhuang Heaven Path had no power to retaliate,

In reality, now that the Xuanhuang World had integrated many Remnant Realms of Cultivation,

The power of the Xuanhuang Heaven Path was not much weaker than when it was originally intact.

Strength and weakness are relative.

At this moment, Xu Ke once again saw that initial figure who, with every gesture and action, carried the rhythm and will of heaven and earth.

Heaven and Earth’s Favorite, given entirely to him.

But what was different was that Mr. Bai was gentle and scholarly.

While the figure before him now...

Dominant, majestic.

Inspiring fear, eliciting conviction.

Absentmindedly, Xu Ke recalled Mr. Bai’s instructions.

"On the point of whether to leave, my opinion differs from this Daoist intent."

"I do not think I am wrong, nor do I think this is betrayal."

"I am merely seeking a better method to save the world."

"Xu Ke, if possible, keep an eye on it for me."

"I think, one day, it will understand."

...

At that time, Xu Ke did not understand Mr. Bai’s words.

Over these thousands of years, the Daoist intent separated from Mr. Bai by the Xuan Huan Heavenly Dao not only failed to understand but also developed towards an increasingly extreme direction.

Not only were the thoughts and curses it conveyed increasingly malicious,

But it also affected any entity that came near it.

The miniature world where Xu Ke was located, used to seal the Xuanhuang Heaven Path’s consciousness, slowly lost its vitality and completely turned into a desolate Gobi.

His body, too, aged more than normal.

Just before today, Xu Ke thought he would ultimately face the end of being devoured by malicious thoughts.

But unexpectedly...

"Is this what Mr. Bai meant by understanding?"

"It’s just the understanding of another, the original body’s understanding."
