My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 512 - 484: The Layout of Reincarnation

Chapter 512: Chapter 484: The Layout of Reincarnation

The previous visitor to Sikong Yi who introduced himself as “Han Wuyou” was, of course, an alter ego of Li Fan.

It took quite a bit of effort, such as pretending to divide forty percent of the contribution, assisting Sikong Yi in dealing with other cultivators who cultivated the same techniques, and jointly exploring the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, to name a few.

His ultimate goal was to plant a suggestion in Sikong Yi’s mind.

After completing the first task assigned by the Celestial Doctor, Sikong Yi would take the initiative to mention the task of transporting the White Jade Statue.

Looking at Sikong Yi’s frequent comings and goings to the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, it seemed that Li Fan’s plan had been successful.

In this life, he wanted to instigate a confrontation between the old Fisherman, his mentor, and the Celestial Doctor.

But the cornerstone of all these plans was the need for someone to deliver the Celestial Doctor’s statue into the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.

Only then would his mentor sense the existence of the Celestial Doctor in the Palace, chart a course across the sea, and come driving his ox cart.

This dangerous task was something Li Fan would naturally not undertake himself.

The Celestial Doctor’s diagnostic methods of “Observation, Listening and Smelling, Inquiry, and Pulse-feeling” were truly formidable.

Even his alter ego, who was fully prepared, might not be able to fool the Celestial Doctor.

Sikong Yi, who had previously handed over the [Scroll of the Cloud and Water Tapestry] and received a hundred thousand contribution points, naturally became the best candidate for the task.

But Li Fan was not sure if Sikong Yi, like himself, had also received a request from the Celestial Doctor to help transport the statue.

To ensure that matters proceeded according to his plan, he had “Han Wuyou” pay a visit.

Even if Sikong Yi or the Celestial Doctor had suspicions about Han Wuyou, the mysterious newcomer, Han Wuyou had already perished.

He died within the enigmatic Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.

Li Fan believed that even if the Celestial Doctor wanted to investigate, he might not get his wish.

Furthermore, in the eyes of the Celestial Doctor, Sikong Yi was, at most, a greedy cultivator blinded by personal gain and eager to curry favor.

He might not have the inclination to investigate.

Overall, Li Fan’s machinations were seamless and left no trace. He had also firmly prevented anyone from discovering his true identity.

It was a perfect plan.

It was a calculation that could only be successfully executed after many cycles of reincarnation, exploration of various possibilities, and acquisition of copious amounts of information.

It could not be replicated by others.

Even powerful beings like the Celestial Doctor had unknowingly fallen into the invisible large net that Li Fan had woven.

Although the degree was minor, it was remarkable for him to “maneuver a Unity-Path cultivator, according to his own expectations”.

The melancholy in Li Fan’s heart was swept away. The shadow that had been pressing on him for a long time finally began to dissipate.

“No matter how high your cultivation, you still have to fall into my trap!”

While his emotions were running high, Li Fan did not let his momentary success cloud his judgment.

He deeply understood that this minor victory was built on the premise that he had collected enough possibilities.

And from now on, his advantage had been exhausted.

He would have to face many unknowns, step carefully and be cautious.

“I would rather give up than insist.”

“The Celestial Doctor is already in position. The next step is to tell the Fisherman about the entrapment of the Sky Slaughter Sword in the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters when the mentor appears sixteen years later.”

“I need to find an agent for this as well.”

In a moment, Li Fan had already thought of a suitable candidate.

“Han Yi…”

Li Fan sensed the locking of the Formless Killing Machine. More than a year had passed, and Han Yi had still not returned from the sea abyss back to the Xuanhuang World.

It seemed that he had gained quite a bit from his present encounter.

“No matter, he cannot escape from the palm of my hand.”

Li Fan quietly withdrew his attention from the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters suspended in the sky, leaving behind his thoughts.

…

Bodhisattva Island.

Ye Feipeng has been quite pleased with himself recently.

The Immortal Teacher, who had been ignoring them since he brought them to the island, suddenly reappeared.

For the first time, he checked the progress of cultivation of all the children on the island.

He rewarded those who practiced diligently and exceeded expectations with Spirit Stones and Elixirs.

Those who were negligent in their cultivation and made no progress were punished by having to fight the “Evil Puppet” for three days and three nights.

Calling it a fight was actually a one-sided beating.

The so-called “Evil Puppet” was a nickname given by the island’s children to a puppet that appeared dull and stupid.

Initially, they thought that this puppet must be quite easy to handle.

After some time of cultivation, some of the children couldn’t wait to challenge it.

The first one to lead the charge was Sun Erlang who had a rare talent and was proficient in all martial arts.

In less than half a year, he had cultivated from a mortal to the Mid Stage of Energy Refining.

He was also skilled in martial arts, enabling him to display two hundred percent of his combat power in actual battles.

During their usual sparrings, none of the children on the island could match him.

Therefore, the prideful Sun Erlang, under the watchful eyes of all, was the first to challenge the Tianyang Puppet.

The result was predictable.

Tianyang heeded Li Fan’s instruction and beat Sun Erlang senseless as long as it didn’t kill him or hurt his cultivating heart.

With one hand, he was extremely measured, and with the other, he taught Sun Erlang a profound lesson about the dark side of people’s heart and feigned weakness.

It seemed as if he was only slightly stronger than Sun Erlang, and with a little more effort, Sun Erlang could defeat him.

Tianyang constantly lured Sun Erlang into launching attack after attack.

But each time, he would frustratingly fail at the critical moment.

The highly competitive Sun Erlang continued to fight until he passed out from exhaustion, bringing the fight to an end.

The next day, Sun Erlang woke up and had some realization.

He secluded himself for seven days and seven nights, and managed to break through to the Final Stage of Energy Refining.

Excited, he decided to reclaim his dignity and challenged Tianyang again.

The result…

Still barely missed it!

The children on the island realized something was wrong.

The ostensible docile puppet was actually toying with them!

Sun Erlang was beaten unconscious by the infuriating puppet once again.

In the following days, no matter how the children challenged the puppet, it always used slightly stronger power than the challenger.

While some children grumbled, calling Tianyang a great villain,

Others began to understand that Tianyang was an excellent training opponent and asked him for more bouts.

Naturally, Ye Feipeng was one of them.

Although he didn’t wish to fight, as the only child on the island who cultivated three techniques at the same time, Ye Feipeng couldn’t stand to be surpassed by others.

Unfortunately, his talent was not top-notch. Initially, he had the advantage as he cultivated both, his body and techniques, but as others’ cultivation levels increased, Ye Feipeng’s performance in his fights against Tianyang got progressively overshadowed by others.

Just when he was starting to get anxious, the Immortal Teacher arrived.

While rewarding and punishing justly, he treated Ye Feipeng differently. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

After examining Ye Feipeng’s cultivation progress and conducting a thorough inspection of his body,

the Immortal Teacher thought that the techniques Ye Feipeng was currently cultivating – “The Godly Sword of Calming Seas” – may not be the most suitable for him.

So he wiped Ye Feipeng’s current cultivation and imparted a new method, the “Sea Soaring Dragon Technique”.
