Chapter 1766: Chapter 1437: Immortal Skin Covers Rebirth_2
Outside the mansion, Ji Le City once again echoed with the sounds of commotion. The two remained silent, quietly watching the bustling night scene outside.
“Creak… Creak…”
A chilling chewing sound emanated from Scholar Zhu’s mouth. He swallowed whole without tasting, directly placing the remaining five Fruits of Sentient Thoughts into his mouth.
Unlike Li Fan and the others, who swallowed with ease, the fruit lted instantly upon entry.
The five fruits in Scholar Zhu’s mouth produced the desperate screams of countless living beings at the brink of death.
Sounds from Purgatory erupted into the sky, montarily drowning out the sounds of revelry in Ji Le City.
Scholar Zhu chewed slowly like an old man nearing death, listening to the endless, fluctuating wails with an expression of enjoynt.
Li Fan did not furrow his brows, his face as calm as ever, watching silently.
After a while, Scholar Zhu found it dull. He swallowed the fruits in three bites.
The sounds of desperate crying suddenly vanished.
“Do you know why I built Ji Le City in the Sea of the Northern Stars?”
“Simply for torture?”
“These Fruits of Sentient Thoughts might have the power to change fate for you, but for , they are tasteless.”
“I have endured much, desperation, cruelty, far more than what’s in Ji Le City.”
Scholar Zhu laughed sinisterly, unknowingly reverting back to his hunched old figure.
“The Tao Network envelops heaven and earth. Everything in existence resides within it. Mortals and living beings, though weak, their endless thoughts might resonate with so distant Tao.” Li Fan pondered for a mont and responded.
“Hehehe…” Scholar Zhu let out a dark laugh.
“You are wrong.”
“I built Ji Le City mainly to torture these ants when I’m bored.”
Li Fan was slightly taken aback by the words.
“Of course, if any unexpected delight arises from this process, so much the better.”
“However, if not, there’s no need to force it.”
Scholar Zhu’s skull-like head slowly erged from his voluminous robe, looking toward Ji Le City outside the mansion. His expression dimd as if lost in mory.
“Once, the Immortal World was even more joyous than the city. Prosperous and flourishing, the future seed endlessly promising. Yet unexpectedly, the grand structure collapsed overnight…” Scholar Zhu muttered in a dazed state.
Li Fan remained silent, and the other turned and asked: “You said you wanted to recomnd you for the Immortal Hunt?”
“I beseech you, Scholar, to aid .” Li Fan nodded.
“Alright. But I have a condition.” Scholar Zhu agreed promptly.
“No problem.” Li Fan replied eagerly, without even listening to the condition.
Scholar Zhu laughed heartily, his exterior transforming again.
The hunched old man inside lted into a pool of blood, rging into the robe he wore.
The robe wriggled and transford into a human skin!
It floated over to Li Fan, shouting nacingly: “One day, no matter how, bring my body back!”
The skin was devoid of facial features.
Only five sinister holes silently stared at Li Fan.
Li Fan was silent for a mont, then nodded in agreent.
“Alright.”
The human skin seed relieved of a wish, losing its floating support, and fell to the ground.
Afterward, it wriggled again, crawling on the ground like a person, eventually returning to its place.
It transford back into a robe.
The old voice of Scholar Zhu ca from within.
“To liberate , as I know, there are several thods.”
“First, successfully capture a Naless True Immortal, exchange form for form.”
“Second…”
Li Fan felt Scholar Zhu’s gaze sweeping continuously over his face.
“Tear the Dao Network completely, and I shall naturally regain freedom.”
“Third. Illuminate the unknown areas of the Tao, redeem with deeds.”
“…”
Scholar Zhu paused and then asked: “I wonder which thod you plan to use.”
Li Fan carefully contemplated the other’s words for a while, then slowly said in a low voice: “Perhaps I shall pursue all three.”
Scholar Zhu remained silent.
After a long ti, he finally said: “Whatever you need, feel free to ask .”
“Five years hence, before the Immortal Hunt assessnt, I shall first test your worth.”
“If you disappoint …”
“Hehehe…”
In the calm tone of Scholar Zhu, endless murderous intent was revealed.
Li Fan remained unmoved: “Scholar, let us wait and see.”
…
After the grand ceremony, Li Fan returned to Ma Tiande’s ho.
He also carried with him a gift from Scholar Zhu.
“This is…”
Li Fan examined the item in his hand with great interest.
A piece of skin remarkably similar to Scholar Zhu’s “human skin” form.
As if it had just been peeled from the flesh, Li Fan could still sll the strong scent of blood on it. Being quite familiar with the structure of the human body, Li Fan unfolded the skin and explored it thoroughly.
He confird that it was indeed a piece of human skin.
However, it did not possess its own consciousness like Scholar Zhu’s.
After so research, Li Fan tried various thods but could not elicit any peculiar properties from the skin. It seed to be just an ordinary piece of human skin.
Yet, when Scholar Zhu handed this human skin to Li Fan previously, Li Fan clearly saw so complex emotions in the other’s eyes.
There was nostalgia, reluctance, and even so hatred.
After examining the skin back and forth, Li Fan recalled the scene when Scholar Zhu revealed his true identity.
After a slight ponder, he made a decision.
Sitting upright, he took a deep breath, and then donned the human skin like clothing over himself.
Originally, the size and shape did not fit “Ma Tiande.”
But once worn by Li Fan, the skin automatically adjusted, fitting him perfectly. It seed as if the skin had been peeled from Ma Tiande himself!
Feeling the tightening power around him and the changing shape and features.
A sense of premonition rose in Li Fan’s heart.
He felt as though he was transforming into soone else.
Uncontrollable fear of the unknown erged in his heart, but sensing the miniature Dao Network reflected in his Divine Sense, Li Fan’s fears dissipated.
His heart was like a tranquil mirror, rely experiencing the changes that wearing this layer of skin brought him.
Once the outer skin perfectly adhered to his body.
Li Fan seed to have truly transford into soone else.
A flood of images and mories surged unexpectedly from his Spirit Consciousness.
Even…
Li Fan looked at his own hands.
“This realm…”
“Realm of True Immortality?”
Not rely an illusion.
Li Fan pointed with his fingertip towards the front.
Like the dazzling light of the nascent Star Sea, it radiated from his fingertip.
Within the light, there seed to be infinite and endless of the world.
“Immortal Spirit Energy.”
