My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 1140 - 1095: Old Friend Becomes a Fairy Puppet

“Even our own people, if they die in the Ocean of Darkness, cannot achieve such a state.”

“It’s too light, far too light.”

After a thorough explanation from the You Clan leader, Li Fan instantly understood.

It was judged based on the fluctuations caused by the presence in the Ocean of Darkness.

The corpse of Mo Rubing did not conform to the normal post-mortem behavior of living beings.

“Either it is just an empty shell used as a deception, or…”

“It means that this person was deeply favored by the dark, and after his death, most of his spirituality instantly returned to the Ocean of Darkness. Only the decaying parts were left to slowly dissolve into the dark,” the You Clan leader suddenly spoke of another possibility.

“However, even the most powerful sacrifices in our clan’s history could not reach the state he did after death. Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that what we are seeing is just an empty shell.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan’s gaze flickered.

He was initially shocked by the You Clan leader’s words. But if he connected the power of darkness in this place to the King of Mystic Sky, then the abnormal state of Mo Rubing after death would make sense.

“Nevertheless, we cannot let down our guard. The methods of the Mystic Sky Sect are exceptionally cunning and varied. We must still be careful,” he said.

“No matter whether he is really dead or not, my plan will not change because of this.”

A thought flashed through his mind, and Li Fan proceeded to inquire about the details of Mo Rubing’s corpse.

The place Li Fan had seen him before was clearly not here.

Unexpectedly, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had found a way to resist the contamination of darkness in such a short time and had moved him here.

“If it really were just an empty shell of no value, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals would not go to such great lengths to move it. In my opinion, the vortex that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals used to steal the power of darkness must have been stabilized by using Mo Rubing’s corpse,” the Artisan commented with his own interpretation.

“This power of darkness has some similarities in nature to the Essence of Source Power. Logically speaking, with the vast scale of the Ocean of Darkness, if such a release valve were truly present, it would definitely create an unimaginable energy vortex. But here, it’s a bit too peaceful.”

The Artisan spoke with certainty, causing the You Clan leader to be taken aback.

After observing carefully for a long while, he said with some surprise, “Envoy, the Immortal Teacher is right! The raging power of darkness, after being filtered through that empty shell, has indeed stabilized!”

“To even soothe the dark, what in the world…” The You Clan leader spoke with a tone of astonishment and doubt.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan fell into deep thought.

If the Ghost Realm truly had connections to the King of Mystic Sky, then apart from his former companions in the Mystic Sky Sect, there might only be the statue of the Faceless True Immortal that would particularly catch his attention.

But currently, it was still uncertain how much of a ripple the True Immortal statue’s appearance in the Ghost Realm would cause. Therefore, whether to proceed or not, Li Fan still needed to carefully consider.

The primary mission of this trip was still to take the opportunity to study the mysterious power of darkness and to inquire into the news of Mo Rubing.

“Can we get close to this place and secretly open a passage to the Small World?” asked Li Fan, “With the effect of Mo Rubing’s corpse, the fluctuations caused should not be too great.”

The You Clan leader pondered for a moment and gave a positive response.

“But it’s best not to draw too much power of darkness, otherwise two vortices of the same size might gradually approach each other due to their mutual interactions and merge into one large vortex.”

“Mhm, we’re just extracting a bit for research. We won’t be too greedy,” Li Fan replied.

With Li Fan’s approval, the group quickly sprang into action.

Under their leader’s guidance, the You Clan People stealthily opened another space tunnel right near the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ stronghold.

Since this was originally their hometown, and with Li Fan and others displaying their Divine Techniques to conceal any fluctuations.

The operation went quite smoothly, from start to finish without being detected by anyone from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

Of course, this might also be because they were all focused on guarding that enormous Big Whirlpool.

“Truly marvelous, the raging Ocean of Darkness becomes calm here,” the leader of the You Clan couldn’t help but express his admiration witnessing this awe-inspiring phenomenon.

And on the other side of the tunnel, within the underground world.

The energy of darkness that had escaped from its cage, resumed its natural properties.

It spread at an alarming rate all around, engulfing everything in its path.

The last of the light in the underground world was soon completely extinguished.

Countless living beings died in silence, without understanding why.

Fortunately, the scale of this underground Small World was not too large.

After the Power of Darkness quickly filled it, it began to flow back towards the Ghost Realm.

It was truly like the rising and falling tides.

At the entrance connecting the underground world with the Xuanhuang World, Li Fan keenly detected the infiltration of darkness.

However, they had not yet opened the passage, so this process was extremely slow.

“If we need to pass through here both in and out, then I’m afraid it won’t take long before the leaking darkness is noticed by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals,” said Liu Ruchen with a furrowed brow.

“I’ll find a way,” volunteered the Craftsman eagerly, “Essence of Source Power doesn’t blend with the Power of Darkness. Perhaps we can build a buffer zone here. Of course, this might require a great deal of Essence of Source Power.”

The Craftsman said this, involuntarily looking towards Li Fan.

For the remnants of True Immortal Power, Li Fan was not tempted in the slightest. He had already accumulated a considerable amount during this period, without any special purpose in mind.

Nevertheless, he pretended to ponder for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.

The Craftsman was overjoyed at the sight and immediately sprang into action, summoning his beloved creation to help.

A Fairy Puppet with a beauty that could overthrow states was completely obedient to the Craftsman.

It utilized the same technology as the Tianyang Immortal Puppet, though it was unclear where the Craftsman had found the consciousness and personality for this Fairy Puppet.

It was while the Craftsman was building the “buffer zone” did he boastfully, and inadvertently revealed her origin.

“When our [Ancestor] collapsed, I barely survived the Tribulation, escaping from my hometown. But some of our kin weren’t as lucky as me. Their bodies were destroyed in the catastrophe, only their consciousness backups were preserved and carried by me.”

“Don’t be fooled by her current obedience; she used to scold me quite a bit! Hahaha!”

“Back when I was with the Heavenly Spirit Sect, I had prepared a Puppet Body for her. But it was too rigid; I didn’t like it. I lost interest after playing with it for a while and destroyed her.”

“Unlike now, this one is lively and almost indistinguishable from a real person.”
