My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1735 - 1421
Chapter 1735 -1421
When Li Fan stepped into the Worry-Free Paradise, unlike ordinary people, he was not immediately pulled into the Illusion Dream.
Instead, he saw the real Worry-Free Paradise.
At the edges of the real paradise, there were still signs of human activity. But the deeper one ventured into the core areas, the traces of human life became fewer.
After escaping for a while, he reached the center of the paradise. What greeted him was an area with no human existence, an ancient natural scenery. The sun shone brightly, and the climate was humid. In the endless rainforests, long rivers meandered.
The vitality here was extremely strong, perhaps the most in the Xuanhuang World. Many species seemed to have developed later, never having appeared in other areas of the Xuanhuang World.
Li Fan keenly detected that there seemed to be a force subtly maintaining the ecological balance of this natural paradise.
“Worry-Free…”
Li Fan’s gaze was sharp as electricity. He sent out a strand of Divine Sense, directly towards this force in the rainforest.
At the moment it was breached, a faint sound of a baby crying, barely audible, echoed near Li Fan’s ears.
The surrounding rainforest scenery disappeared instantly.
In a trance, he seemed to have arrived at a small village in the mountains, where the continuous crying was coming from one of the houses.
Li Fan curiously surveyed his surroundings, realizing he had seen this mountain village scenery before. It came from a painting called “Swallow Father, Devour Mother, Demon Baby’s Forget Worry Tale.”
Following the source of the sound, Li Fan pushed open the door and entered.
The thick smell of blood overwhelmed him, and the scene inside the room was quite eerie.
He saw a baby lying in swaddling clothes, placed on a bed.
Beside the bed, a man and woman were already bloodied beyond recognition, no longer human-shaped.
Yet their faces showed no pain; instead, they continued to grin foolishly.
Unable to feel pain, they gouged out a piece from their bodies, already showing bare bones.
Feeding it to the baby on the bed.
“Nannan, eat more, eat until you’re full. Hehehe.”
Chattering deliriously while coughing up copious amounts of blood.
This blood seemed to be something extremely precious to them, their faces immediately showing regret as they hurriedly gathered up the spilled blood bit by bit, mixing it with broken flesh, and stuffed it into the baby’s mouth.
The baby was utterly powerless to resist, only able to cry weakly.
…
This sinister scene made even Li Fan furrow his brow slightly.
Undoubtedly, this was Wuyou’s past.
But as an Array Technique expert, Li Fan immediately saw that this was very different from ordinary Illusion Arrays.
“At least, this man and woman, Wuyou’s parents, truly existed?”
Li Fan’s Divine Sense incarnate walked slowly to their side.
Under Li Fan’s intervention, their actions were forcibly halted.
As if waking from a Nightmare back to reality, the delirium and joy disappeared from the couple. Though their bodies couldn’t move, upon regaining consciousness, they seemed to understand their situation. A look of boundless despair and madness filled their eyes.
“Ahhh…”
They wanted to say something but couldn’t open their mouths, only emitting meaningless sounds.
Dissatisfied with Li Fan’s interference, the force again forcibly reclaimed control of the couple.
They resumed the nightmare-like actions of carving flesh and bone, feeding the infant.
“This is what they insist on pursuing, so why interfere, Senior?”
“Isn’t fulfilling their wish a kind act?”
A teasing voice suddenly appeared, echoing in the small room.
“Pretending to be ghosts.” Li Fan snorted coldly, about to lose his temper.
A figure appeared abruptly, bowing with respect.
And softly pleaded, “Spare my life, Senior!”
Li Fan squinted, examining the person.
Naked, with a thin body and no clear contours. Her long hair seemed never to have been cut since birth, covering the ground like a black winding river.
Wuyou, bare-bodied, showed no embarrassment under Li Fan’s gaze.
As if she was naturally meant to be like this.
“Senior, do you know what happened later?” Wuyou pointed at the couple feeding the baby with their flesh and blood in the room and asked.
Li Fan did not speak. Wuyou self-answered, “These two, heard from some Immortal Teacher about a Secret Technique capable of defying fates. By feeding a newly born baby with parental Blood Essence, and after eighty-one days, swallowing the baby, one could leap into becoming a Fairy.”
“Hehe…”
The scene before him rapidly changed.
As the baby, fed by blood and flesh, grew at an unbelievably rapid pace, her crying became louder.
Gradually, the sound spread to other corners of the mountain village.
This sound seemed to have a kind of Magic Power, for anyone who heard it lost their minds. Like walking corpses, they slowly approached, and then “fed themselves as magic!”
In just a few days, the entire village had turned into indistinct masses of flesh.
The baby’s cries gradually spread across the entire mountain.
Mountain birds and beasts also, like humans, walked into the small house without fear of death.
The overwhelming bloodthirsty aura blocked the building, seemingly even sunlight couldn’t penetrate.
In the darkness, accompanied by the never-ending baby crying, was the heart-wrenching sound of chewing.
Eventually, all Living Beings in the mountains were swallowed by the demon baby.
Eerie silence.
Only the baby’s cries echoed.
…
This level of bloodiness was no longer of any significance to Li Fan.
