When they retreated, they didn’t forget to launch a joint attack on the already ravaged [Ruo Mu].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damage from this attack seemed to be greater than the forcible extraction of life energy just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huge cracks extended upward from the base of the tree, branches fell in pieces, lost to unknown destinations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators who came to the rescue, seeing this, gave up the pursuit and hurriedly began to heal Ruo Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through their efforts, they finally managed to prevent [Ruo Mu] from dying completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the damage it suffered was too great, and it was hard to reverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, withering and aging have always accompanied Ruo Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until many years later, a humanoid cultivator appeared in Ruo Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenes observed from [People Boiling Life], although broken, contained a lot of information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fan went through the playback of the Huadao Stone again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with the information collected earlier, he began to slowly formulate a hypothesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The cultivators who caused harm to Ruo Mu are probably those who proposed to abandon the Xuanhuang World and flee when The Great Calamity came.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the power displayed by their strikes, among them, there is no lack of experts of the Immortal Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five hundred years ago, for some reason, this group of people wanted to return to the Xuanhuang World, leading to a great war.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sima Changkong once said that for these cultivators, Heaven and Earth showed extreme hatred, even more than us who seize land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The traitors, what did they steal…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be this Ruo Mu, which can condense the [Fruit of Eternal Life]?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… considering the way these people act, there might be more to it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thousands of years have passed, have they finally failed to escape from the Immortal Ruins? Or was there another reason?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The existence of the Immortal Ruins is not a secret for the Immortal Dao’s Ten Clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people acted ruthlessly and without remorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were confident that they could successfully escape from the Xuanhuang World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it is still unknown what unforeseen events led to their forced return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With little known information, he set this issue aside for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, Li Fan finally understood why [Ruo Mu] harbored such hatred towards cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter if it was being seized by humans or nearly dying later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grudge between it and the cultivators could be described as irreconcilable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Fan were subjected to such treatment, his methods of revenge would likely be several times crueler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After Tianzun conferred the Dao, and established new laws, the Fruit of Eternal Life no longer had the ability of immortality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the perspective of Ruo Mu, this might actually be a good thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In some respects, the conferring of the new Dao could be considered its savior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, no matter how strong Ruo Mu was, it could not escape the fate of being seized.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judging from its desire to reverse [Harm of its own kind], it has probably not yet reached the Immortal Realm. Given its unknowable age and extraordinary entity, its strength can’t be measured simply by the Unity-Path.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another one above the Unity-Path, unverified immortality, huh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The chasm between Unity-Path and the Immortal Realm is a bit too wide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fan has met the Celestial Doctor, the Fisherman, and now this decayed wood. All three experts are in this realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this is merely a coincidence, it does demonstrate, in a way, the difficulty of “defying the Principle of Heaven and Earth and achieving immortality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many talents in the world, but only a few have achieved immortality under the new law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fan’s eyes were deep, he remained silent for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After summarizing the gains from this expedition, Li began to reflect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, almost losing my life by bumping into Ruo Mu, could be chalked up to bad luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it was said that just after breaking through my realm, I was somewhat complacent…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That certainly wasn’t the case.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Heavenly Spirit City, really, and this is a rented villa at the Debating Tower. It’s definitely safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who could have imagined that a cultivator who conducts low-end business and sells Gold Cores would actually be a powerful being full of malice towards humans?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t always hide, relying solely on my avatar to act, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However powerful, the avatar is ultimately just an avatar. Many divine techniques can’t be fully utilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, it is a realm lower than my original self, to cultivate it to the Immortal Realm would be a pipe dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s like being struck by lightning while walking in the street. An extremely unlikely event should not deter us from living our lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are many things that I need to handle personally to leave no traces.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, the ability of the Wood Taoist to distort and change ideas needs to be countered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it weren’t for its hatred towards cultivators, and its seeming ability to foresee my future actions, wanting me to seek revenge on the cultivators, it would have let me go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I dread to think how long I would have been lost in the branches before waking up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought my will was strong enough, but I didn’t have the power to resist it at all…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the Immortal Cultivation World is filled with strange objects and techniques, I am sure there will be a solution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if I can’t completely block it, as long as I can maintain a trace of clarity, it will be enough to make up for my inadequacy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fan recorded this matter in his heart and placed it as a priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to start focusing on gathering information on this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, when his thoughts had calmed down, Li Fan finally picked up the dried branch of Ruo Mu that had been placed on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently stroking it, Li Fan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because he had been in close contact with Ruo Mu’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tree branch seemed to have some similarities to the material Jiao Xiuyuan used to create an avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>",1250,"2026-06-02T06:21:23.793Z",1,"novelbin.me","fabc006709afab223db7dbe67902b5cdcbf0dc0d660dff8e2e3879053957db2a","my-simulated-road-to-immortality-chapter-617","my-simulated-road-to-immortality-chapter-615",2394,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-simulated-road-to-immortality-cover.jpg"]
