My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 802 -765: Crisis – Thoughts of Even True

After finishing his words, Xu Bai hung up the Communication Talisman.

His expression, however, immediately darkened.

“Despite all precautions, a flaw has inevitably been exposed.”

“Liu San always seemed flippant on normal days; I didn’t expect him to be so shrewd.”

Indeed, in the seemingly casual conversation he just had with Liu San, Xu Bai made a mistake.

It was when Liu San mentioned the successful Foundation Establishment of a disciple that he fell silent for a moment.

...

This silence was due to his distrust of Liu San.

Because he knew about the difficulty of achieving Foundation Establishment with the ‘Building Foundation with Me’ technique. He knew it was downright impossible.

So he suspected that it might be some sort of trap, an excuse Liu San concocted to lure him back.

Common sense would dictate that upon hearing such news, one would either be surprised or doubtful and would immediately question Liu San about its veracity.

However, he fell silent instead.

Though he could find a myriad of reasons to explain this silence,

Xu Bai knew in his heart that it was futile.

Because Liu San didn’t speak continuously but paused after the first half of his sentence, deliberately waiting for Xu Bai’s response.

It was a test in and of itself.

Liu San had gotten the reaction he wanted. He had discerned Xu Bai’s mistrust from his brief silence.

When experts cross blades, even the slightest miss means defeat.

“However, the situation has not deteriorated to the point of no return. The [Fruit of Truth]’s restrictions are not so easily broken. Although they have noticed something amiss and confirmed their suspicions, they still cannot afford to oppose me.”

“Besides the fact that I rewrote their thoughts, more importantly, the Xuanhuang True Cauldron remains in my hands.”

“With many cultivators of the Medicine King Sect slumbering inside the cauldron as hostages, they dare not act rashly.”

“For now, I’ll ignore them, until the very end…” A ruthless light flashed in Xu Bai’s eyes.

The relationship between the Medicine King Sect and Xu Bai thus stood in a strange state of balance.

Xu Bai only communicated with them remotely via the Communication Talisman.

And Liu San and the others still acted as usual, as if they had not sensed any anomalies.

During this period, Xu Bai made time to visit the Empire once.

As he flew over Du City, Xu Bai faintly sensed an almost imperceptible scent of blood in the air.

Clearly, a great purge had just ended not long ago.

Xu Bai revealed his figure, and soon Little Green came to welcome him.

Within the High Tower Palace, Xu Bai met the Imperial Daughter and Little Red once again.

Xu Bai was somewhat surprised to find that in such a short period, the Imperial Daughter had transformed from her initial young girl’s visage to that of a plump and beautiful woman now.

And the look she gave Xu Bai lacked a few traces of timidity and gained more self-confidence.

“It seems your Empire still has some ace techniques up its sleeve that you haven’t shared,” Xu Bai said indifferently.

The Imperial Daughter laughed lightly, her voluptuous body trembling slightly: “The Empire, after a millennium, has never put all its chances of survival on a single boat.”

“You should understand this, shouldn’t you?”

With that, her deep and bright eyes firmly fixed on Xu Bai.

In them, there was a hint of vulnerability and a naked seduction.

Xu Bai’s eyes were as clear as a lake, without the slightest ripple. He then revealed an incredibly bright and pure smile to her.

The Imperial Daughter’s disguise was instantly shattered, her face revealing a trace of panic and shame.

“I’ve made you laugh,” Little Red said, bowing slightly and stepping in front of the Imperial Daughter.

Taking a deep breath and closing her eyes for quite a while, the Imperial Daughter finally regained her composure.

Rather than blaming and mocking the other for her overconfidence in enchantment, Xu Bai asked with interest, “If I’m not mistaken, is the Imperial Daughter pregnant?”

The three present felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

Little Green waved her hand and set up a barrier around them before explaining softly, “After you left, we followed your advice and purged the nobility of the Empire. Anyone whose will did not align with ours was captured.”

“Of course, the Empire has existed for thousands of years. The accumulated strength of these imperial nobles should not be underestimated.”

“Before we acted, we had considered the possibility of failure. To prevent the extinction of the imperial bloodline, the Imperial Daughter had applied the Sacred Blood into Embryo Method early on.”

Little Green glanced at the Imperial Daughter, then continued, “Actually, the Sacred Blood into Embryo Technique passed down by the original master has been significantly advanced by the Imperial Royal Family through years of research.”

“One can rely on external forces to complete the gestation even when the conditions are not satisfied by oneself.”

“The offspring born under such circumstances is more fittingly described as a certain type of incarnation rather than the next generation.”

“However, there are drawbacks. This incarnation cannot inherit cultivation base and is merely a pure physical body.”

Little Green stopped there, avoiding a direct answer.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, his expression inscrutable.

Without further questioning, in the presence of Little Green and the others, he declared the audit passed.

After evaluation by several Elders, they unanimously agreed that the various technologies exhibited by the Empire were worthy of investment by the United Federation of All Realms.

The Empire would also become one of the few Small Worlds under the protection of the Union.

Saying this, Xu Bai took out three Terminal Discs from the Storage Ring.

He also explained the Array Technique that could amplify the function of the Terminal Discs and shield the entrance to a Small World.

Among the three, the Imperial Daughter was confused by the explanation.

Little Green and Little Red, however, showed expressions of joy.

They very solemnly stored away the Terminal Discs, and under their encouraging gaze, the Imperial Daughter handed over a Storage Ring.

Carved onto the Storage Ring was the pattern of a Heavenly Mandate Mystic Bird. Its aura was somewhat ancient, clearly having existed for many years.

It closely resembled Little Black, the spirit pet of Xu Ke.

“The few items we displayed before are all in here.”

Little Green and Little Red looked at the Storage Ring with a flash of nostalgia in their eyes.

“This was left by our master and has not been used until now. Today, it’s used in exchange for the future of the Empire, and I believe he wouldn’t blame us for it,” Little Green said with a hint of wistfulness.

Xu Bai glanced at it, noticing that all the data, including “Combining the Myriad Beasts into One,” were placed inside, and he did not immediately verify their authenticity.

He then put away the ring and looked at Little Green and the others again.

Noticing that Xu Bai had more to say, Little Green and the others cast inquiring glances at him.

“The trade between the Empire and the United Federation of All Realms has been finalized.”

“Next, personally, I have another deal to propose to you all. I wonder if you’re willing?”

Little Green’s expression became serious, “Please speak, fellow Daoist.”

“I am very interested in the improved version of the Sacred Blood into Embryo Method,” Xu Bai said indifferently.

Little Green’s expression changed slightly, about to refuse.

However, Xu Bai’s next words caused the three of them to no longer maintain their composure.
