My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 1834: 1472: The Past of the Hungry Immortal_2

Chapter 1834: Chapter 1472: The Past of the Hungry Immortal_2

The primordial bone was originally at the Wordless Monument, within the South Immortal Sky Pillar, appearing resigned to fate, or perhaps tamed. Silently enduring, all light and visions were fully retracted. It seemed ordinary, like a broken stone slab.

But the Heavenly Pillar of the Starving Immortal was merely forcibly bound by Li Fan using external force.

The self-awareness of the Hungry Immortal still existed.

Li Fan could not only sense the boundless resentment around the pillar but could also clearly hear the venomous curses continually emanating from the Hungry Immortal.

Li Fan, however, seemed as though he didn’t hear anything, still inspecting it with a slight smile.

He sent out a strand of divine sense to touch the Heavenly Pillar of the Starving Immortal.

Boom!

Amid the tremors of the divine sense, the [Hunger] path extended from top to bottom, straddling the heavens and earth, standing fully revealed before Li Fan.

It was as though all secrets of its own were seen through, entirely exposed before Li Fan. The Hungry Immortal, sealed within the pillar, was dazed for a moment.

And then came an even more frantic barrage of curses.

Yet, all she could do was just that.

She could not prevent Li Fan’s probing actions.

“I can see the path, yet I cannot comprehend it in the slightest.”

“The path of Hunger has already been attained by someone else. It seems to have vanished from this realm.”

“How can one comprehend something belonging to another?”

Li Fan sighed slightly.

His regret was not solely for the path of Hunger before him.

But it was evidently, amidst the backdrop of the Immortal World facing destruction and all immortals fleeing, that many paths were lost.

“Just like my divine sense projection, which reflects merely a small portion of the Dao Network. What remains among the primordial possibilities, are only scraps and remnants…”

“The path is incomplete, heaven and earth are not whole.”

“Even so, what heaven and earth I see are so wondrous. Truly hard to imagine what the truly complete heavenly path would look like…”

This is the inevitable reverie of any cultivator, and Li Fan was no exception.

He was momentarily lost before the Heavenly Pillar of the Starving Immortal.

After a long time, Li Fan’s gaze shifted from yearning to determination.

“There will come a day when I see the complete heavenly path.”

“That day will come.”

Besides glimpsing the path of Hunger within the Heavenly Pillar, Li Fan could also vaguely see the past life of the Hungry Immortal.

Yet, due to the nameless attainment of the path, all past memories were confined, and these images were covered by the path of Hunger.

Like hiding beneath a layer of the outer garment of the path.

Without dismantling the Heavenly Pillar of the Starving Immortal, Li Fan couldn’t grasp it all at once.

He could only lift the veil gradually, inch by inch, to inspect.

In addition to countering the Hunger Dao, Li Fan’s probing had to grapple with the struggling consciousness of the Hungry Immortal herself.

The Hungry Immortal’s resistance to Li Fan’s gaze was exceptionally fierce, even surpassing her earlier confrontation with Li Buren.

“Had I known, why start in the first place!”

Li Fan snorted coldly, not only did he not withdraw, but he pressed further.

Breaking through the defense of the Hunger Dao.

He glimpsed a segment of light that once belonged to the Hungry Immortal.

Under Li Fan’s watch, it seemed to be a time when the Hungry Immortal had not yet reached the Realm of True Immortality, during her childhood.

The Hungry Immortal did not ascend from the Lower Realm, but lived in the Immortal World since birth, existing as an appendage to some True Immortal.

Though called an appendage, she existed as what was known as an Immortal Servant. Yet, from the day of her birth, the Hungry Immortal never saw the nominal “master.”

Even though Immortal World resources were infinite, they, as servants, didn’t need to tribute to the master. The Hungry Immortal heard that the master naturally disliked noise and merely wished to be alone. These immortal servants, though created and bestowed to the master.

Yet the master never inquired about them.

Only settled them into his own territory.

Having such a “master” was certainly an enviable thing for the immortal servants.

The immortal servants lived extremely freely. Above them, there was also the protection of the True Immortal master, allowing them to worry about nothing.

However, such carefree days did not last long.

That day, during her childhood, the Hungry Immortal witnessed the world-ending Path Extinction Calamity firsthand.

The territory of the True Immortal master, her hometown, the place known as [Youming Immortal Domain].

In this dreadful tribulation, it was obliterated in an instant.

If the True Immortal master, who never revealed himself, hadn’t appeared at the last moment to save her, the Hungry Immortal would have died in that year’s calamity.

“Wu Wei Xiaoyao…”

“Hmph!”

The Hungry Immortal only remembered the master casually saving them, gazing at the scene of the Immortal Domain’s annihilation in the distance, and letting out a cold snort.

Afterwards, his figure faded and disappeared.

Since then, the Hungry Immortal never saw his master again.

It was only after this that the Hungry Immortal finally learned his master’s name.

[Wu Wei].

…

When Li Fan glimpsed those two characters from the Hungry Immortal’s memory, it was as if he touched some forbidden taboo, incurring a strong rejection from the Hungry Immortal.

Even the Heavenly Pillar of the Starving Immortal trembled slightly, and under the strong repulsion, it directly ejected Li Fan’s consciousness.

Anyway, there would be plenty of time to deal with this slowly in the future, so Li Fan did not insist for the moment and decided to stop while ahead.

Let the Hungry Immortal calm down first.

“The Wuwei Immortal, huh…”

His expression was somewhat grave, recalling what he had seen in the Hungry Immortal’s memory.

Though not as leisurely as Lord Guardian Hill, and not facing a Dao-obliterating tide vast enough to engulf the entire Immortal World,

It was still a Path-obliterating Calamity!

Having recently encountered it himself, Li Fan was acutely aware of the terror of this tribulation.

“To still have the strength to rescue his servants during the Path-obliterating Calamity and successfully escape,”

“This Wuwei Immortal’s power is indeed not weak. It’s just that the Hungry Immortal, in its infancy, has somewhat unclear memories. I wonder if he truly is of the Nameless Realm.”

Li Fan had this doubt because all the Nameless he’d seen had a strange quality about them, uniting with the Tao, standing alone amid Heaven and Earth.

But that Wuwei Immortal didn’t give Li Fan that feeling.

However, without being Nameless, how could one manage to contend with the Path-obliterating Calamity?

“Still, rewarded for merit… interesting.”

Considering that throughout ages in the Immortal World, many such figures either fell to the Tao Yan Tribulation or fled the realm, a nameless emotion grew in Li Fan’s heart.

“Just a world in decline, after all.”

—————–

Very quickly changed back.

“Hmph!”

The Hungry Immortal only remembered the master casually saving them, gazing at the scene of the Immortal Domain’s annihilation in the distance, and letting out a cold snort.

Afterwards, his figure faded and disappeared.
