My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 428 - Chapter 428: 402
Chapter 428: 402
“So, it means that since the moment you returned from the Medicine King Sect to Xuanhuang World, the time was correct. Twenty-four years.”
Xiao Heng gradually grasped it as well.
“But Ling Huchang clearly mentioned that the Medicine King Cauldron did not spend much time in the Outer World before returning. How is it possible that in such a short time, thousands of years have passed here?” Zhang Haobo furrowed his brows in confusion.
“The speed of time has a difference of thousands of times? Is that really possible?”
None of the people present could answer this question; they all fell into silence.
“Perhaps, there is a way to clarify what exactly happened back then.” After a moment, Ling Huchang, as if remembering something, suddenly spoke.
“When it fell into the Xuanhuang World, the Medicine King Cauldron exhausted all of its energy and eventually fell silent.”
“But you just mentioned that you were able to enter here due to the induction from the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron.”
He looked at Xiao Heng: “Under normal circumstances, the induction between Medicine King Cauldrons is one-sided. Only the holder of the true Medicine King Cauldron can sense the location of the other Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldrons.”
“Being able to sense the location of the true cauldron while holding a Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron only happens when the sect leader summons the cultivators of the surrounding sects.”
“This indicates that either the sect leader has awakened, or after so many years, the Medicine King Cauldron has regained its energy and started to execute commands autonomously, seeking help from the outside world.”
“In summary, no matter what, we must go inside the [Gate of Life and Death] to check on the sect leader’s condition.”
Ling Huchang said with a serious tone.
“Gate of Life and Death? You mean the gray stone door at the end of the corridor? We’ve tried, but it’s impossible to open.” Su Xiaomei replied.
“Of course. Once the Gate of Life and Death closes, it separates the living from the dead. Even an Integration Cultivator couldn’t budge it an inch. If you could have destroyed it, that would have been a major problem.” Ling Huchang said nonchalantly.
“You have a way?” Su Xiaomei questioned a little arrogantly.
“Hmph.” Ling Huchang snorted coldly, not saying a word.
He flew towards the end of the passage.
Having exchanged glances, Su Xiaomei and the others quickly followed.
In no time, they came in front of the gray stone door.
Ling Huchang was already sitting with his legs crossed. The Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron appeared above his head again, emitting a protective light shield.
A circle on the ground beside him was flashing with golden light and many symbols were carved into it.
He took out a spell paper and pasted it on his forehead.
Twenty-four golden needles surrounded him on both sides.
Four jade tokens were arranged in front and behind.
After the defensive measures were done, Ling Huchang politely said to Xiao Heng and the others: “Please protect me.”
“I don’t know what he’s showing off.” Su Xiaomei mumbled.
Ling Huchang didn’t care, he closed his eyes.
Then, a baby figure strikingly similar to Ling Huchang emerged from his body.
“Greetings to all!”
The baby bowed politely to Xiao Heng and the others, looking quite adorable.
“This is…”
“Nascent Soul?”
Xiao Heng and the others were taken aback.
Today’s cultivators have long abandoned the method of “shattering the elixir to form a baby”.
Instead, they directly plunder various Cave Heavens to form Cave Heaven Domains to replace Nascent Soul.
Seeing this legendary existence now brought surprise and curiosity to their faces.
After Ling Huchang’s Nascent Soul came out, it didn’t directly fly out of his protective shield.
Instead, he took out a set of tiny Qingmu armor and put it on himself.
After swallowing several elixirs, he finally turned into a light stream and flew towards the gray stone door.
Just as he was about to collide with the Gate of Life and Death, a greenish-blue light suddenly surged from the Nascent Soul.
The stone door was illuminated by this light, as if it also gained some vitality.
Ling Huchang took this opportunity to dive into the green area of the stone door.
After he disappeared, the stone door returned to normal.
“The escape of the Nascent Soul is really miraculous.” Su Xiaomei knocked on the stone door, which made a thud sound.
Still unable to enter, she felt a little regretful.
She then turned to look at Ling Huchang’s body, protected by many magic treasures.
Her eyes lit up: “This guy does have a lot of treasures.”
“You guys, he carries so many treasures with him.”
“There are so many sleeping cultivators in the Medicine King Cauldron. How rich are their treasures?”
“Not to mention the many hidden treasures of Medicine King Sect.”
su Xiaomei communicated via voice transmission.
“What the Skull Senior said is correct. It’s indeed a huge opportunity.” Zhang Haobo agreed.
“A pity that we’re not strong enough, otherwise…”
Xiao Heng did not respond.
He was staring at the gray Gate of Life and Death, deep in thoughts.
Time slowly passed while they waited.
One day, two days…
Ling Huchang, who had entered the door, seemed to have disappeared, with no news at all.
“Could there have been any accidents?”
Xiao Heng and the others couldn’t help feeling worried.
It was not until five days later that the Gate of Life and Death finally rumbled open.
The Nascent Soul returned to its position.
A moment later, Ling Huchang slowly stood up with a somewhat shaky body, with sadness across his face.
“Ling Huchang, what happened?” Zhang Haobo asked.
“You all come with me.” Ling Huchang retracted his protection and entered the stone door.
The three of them thought for a moment, heightened their guard, and followed him in.
It felt as if they had suddenly arrived in the Endless Void, with numerous starlights shining in the distant background.
“The sect leader, to protect us, became an Immortal a thousand years ago.”
At this point, Ling Huchang’s somewhat sorrowful voice came through.
“This is the scene recorded by the Medicine King Cauldron at that time.”
The surroundings of Xiao Heng and the others suddenly started to move rapidly from a standstill.
Countless flow of light was elongated, forming strange curves.
Below, a huge light ball that was blurry and unclear was moving away from them.
A sigh sounded.
“Xuanhuang World…”
Another old voice came: “Sect leader, don’t worry. The Great Calamity is approaching, fleeing for a glimmer of hope will not be seen as wrong.”
“Even though that’s the case, Xuanhuang World is our hometown after all…”
“The greater one’s ability, the greater one’s responsibility. Our Medicine King Sect is just a small sect and can barely manage its own affairs, let alone other things. The handling of the calamity and the salvation of Xuanhuang World should be left to the Immortal Dao Ten Clans.” There was a clear dissatisfaction with the Immortal Dao Ten Clans in the old voice.
“Lao Huang… Let’s not talk about this.” Liu Ruchen paused and then changed the subject.
“Speaking of which, the attitude of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans this time is somewhat strange. According to their usual style, hearing that we are planning to escape, they would definitely intervene to rebuke. But I don’t know why, this time they didn’t show any intention to stop us.”
Lao Huang scoffed: “When trouble looms, everyone takes flight. Those who talk about fleeing are not only us of the Medicine King Sect. Perhaps there’s too many, and they can’t manage.”
Liu Ruchen remained silent in response.
After a while, Lao Huang said excitedly: “However, outsiders will never think that inside our Medicine King Sect, there would be a [Taoist Landmark] of other Immortal Cultivation Worlds.”
“Guided by the Taoist Landmark, we can traverse the Endless Void and reach a new world.”
