My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 362: 339: Kidnapping Yan Fajue

But Li Fan wouldn’t treat her as a child.

Ever since the Celestial Dharma Bearer reestablished the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals in the Wasted Land Era, Yan Fajue has existed.

If his guess is correct, Yan Fajue has been tirelessly working for at least five to six thousand years.

It was enough for Li Fan to show her ample respect.

The little girl looked up at Li Fan, nodded, and said, “Yeah. Deriving techniques is a hard work.”

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and asked, “You have a quarter of an hour left. Would you like to stay a while longer or leave now?”

Li Fan was naturally tactful.

“I’ll leave when my time runs out.”

“Being in your company is an honor to me.”

A very satisfied expression appeared on the little girl’s face.

“Great, I can rest for a quarter of an hour.” She said somewhat excitedly.

During the remaining time, Li Fan did not stand still.

Under the supervision of the faint gaze around him, Li Fan began to tentatively ask Yan Fajue a few questions.

“Are you a cultivator?”

“I was, a long time ago. But people need to rest, don’t they? And people die. Later, the Celestial Dharma Bearer merged me with Yan Fajue.” The little girl lay on the table and answered lazily, seemingly indifferent.

“Now I won’t die. Just get a little tired sometimes.”

“How long have you been deriving techniques, without rest?”

“How long? I don’t remember. Anyway, it’s always been like this. I can’t rest until all the techniques have been derived. I can be a bit lazy occasionally though.” The little girl’s face looked somewhat helpless. “I really want to finish early and take a good break.”

Li Fan and Yan Fajue were having a smooth conversation.

And the hidden presence, for some reason, never stopped Li Fan’s increasingly bold questioning.

In this way, Li Fan had a preliminary but detailed understanding of this first treasure of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

With regret, Li Fan’s allotted time finally ran out.

“Alright, alright, it’s time to say goodbye.” The little girl waved and bid Li Fan farewell.

“I hope there will be a day when I can see you again.” Li Fan respectfully bowed.

Then he felt the light around him suddenly dim.

After a moment of darkness.

When he opened his eyes, he was already outside the black stele of Law Enforcement Hall.

The black-clothed cultivator who led them here was still waiting.

Xi Men Yue was also there, contemplating with closed eyes, seemingly studying the newly obtained technique.

Han Yi was not visible, not out yet.

Li Fan didn’t disturb the two of them and silently stood aside.

In his mind, he recalled his encounter with Yan Fajue.

It was blank, however.

“As expected…” Li Fan understood.

Aside from the contents of the technique “Extraordinary True Spirit Transformation Technique” that were clearly imprinted in his spirit consciousness which he didn’t forget,

The rest of the memory of seeing Yan Fajue, from the moment he left the waiting room to appearing outside the black stele, he couldn’t recall.

Even how he got the technique or what Yan Fajue looked like, he couldn’t remember.

“The treasure of the Immortal Alliance is indeed heavily guarded.”

“This must be a kind of restriction directly applied to cultivators to prevent malicious people from spying on Yan Fajue.”

“No wonder no one knows any information about Yan Fajue in the world except for her existence.”

“However…”

Li Fan closed his eyes, hiding his emotions.

“These restrictions are useless to me.”

“All the memories have been synchronized with my main body.”

In the Tianxuan Mirror of Tianyu City, Li Fan’s main body was seemingly calm,

Though his spirit consciousness was repeatedly replaying his first meeting with little Yan Fajue.

“Forced labor for thousands of years, even merging a cultivator with a natural treasure to make her an undying and tireless laborer.”

“The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is truly heinous and crazy.”

“Yan Fajue truly deserves sympathy, I must save her.”

During the conversation with the cute little girl, Li Fan learned that Yan Fajue was her accompanying Natural Treasure.

However, once the Celestial Dharma Bearer discovered it, in order to maximize its use, he used a Secret Technique to modify it.

Her physical body disappeared, and her consciousness and Yan Fajue merged completely.

It became a bizarre existence that was both human and a Natural Treasure.

From then on, she experienced eternal youth and immortality.

But she also had to stay awake and keep cultivating Techniques without rest.

Until there were no more Techniques to cultivate.

The Celestial Dharma Bearer promised her that when she had exhausted all the Techniques, it would be a time for good rest.

In her naivety, Yan Fajue thought that the ‘rest’ the Celestial Dharma Bearer spoke of was indeed a real rest.

However, in Li Fan’s eyes, this ‘rest’ is absolutely not a good term.

Whether it was a matter of public or private concern, there was no question that Li Fan had to save Yan Fajue.

For other cultivators, stealing Yan Fajue from a heavily guarded place like the Immortal Alliance Headquarters would undoubtedly be an impossible task.

But for Li Fan, it might not be impossible now that he has information about her.

In fact, Li Fan had already formed a preliminary idea of how to do it in just a brief moment.

First of all, Yan Fajue was under a cultivator’s watch.

According to the estimation, the guarding cultivator would at least be an Integration Cultivator.

So the first step of Li Fan’s plan was to cultivate to the level of Integration Cultivator within the Immortal Alliance and then become Yan Fajue’s guard.

The second step was to build a relationship with Yan Fajue during their constant interactions.

The third step was to wait for the right time, activate Reincarnation, and return to the anchored timeline of 1 year, and choose the third option when preserving: the memory of a close associate.

The fourth step was to repeat the actions of the previous life, return to Yan Fajue’s side, and then let her inherit the memory of the previous life.

This memory of decades to hundreds of year naturally includes the process and results of Yan Fajue’s intense cultivation of Techniques.

With these memories, Yan Fajue doesn’t need to painstakingly cultivate Techniques anew.

When it was time to submit her homework, she just needed to take out the Techniques she cultivated in her past life from her memories.

With this grand gift, continue to deepen the relationship with Yan Fajue.

The fifth step, reincarnate again. Repeat the third and fourth steps.

The memories from life after life of reincarnation will surely push Li Fan and Yan Fajue’s intimacy to the highest point.

Li Fan makes Yan Fajue acknowledge him as the master.

The final step, activate Reincarnation, choose to keep one item of his.

Choose Yan Fajue.

And based on past experience, there can’t be two identical Natural Treasures in the world.

If there were conflicts caused by Reincarnation, the weak would disappear, and the strong would survive.

With the memory of countless lives, Li Fan’s Yan Fajue was bound to be stronger than the one anchored a year ago.

So the final result is that Yan Fajue of the Immortal Alliance disappears.

Li Fan’s Yan Fajue remains.

This is Li Fan’s preliminary plan to kidnap Yan Fajue.

It must be said that it’s rather tantalizing.

Although there would undoubtedly be various problems in this process.

For instance, the first step of becoming an Integration Cultivator of the Immortal Alliance and getting close to Yan Fajue seems very remote to the current Li Fan.

Another example is that the Celestial Dharma Bearer must have left a safeguard on Yan Fajue, and wouldn’t let her acknowledge someone else as her master easily.

But…

These are all insignificant in the face of reincarnation cycle after cycle.

As long as there’s a slim possibility in theory, for Li Fan, it becomes a necessity.

Yan Fajue is the foundation of the Immortal Alliance.

And the Immortal Alliance is the foundation of the Celestial Dharma Bearer’s path to enlightenment.

Even though the Celestial Dharma Bearer seems carefree now and doesn’t interfere in worldly affairs.

But judging from the principle of “the number of cultivators should neither be too many nor too few”, the Immortal Alliance is at least an important means for the Celestial Dharma Bearer to maintain a stable number of cultivators.

Li Fan was quite curious, what would be the response of the Celestial Dharma Bearer, a dragon that hides its head and shows its tail, if the root of the Immortal Alliance was dug up.
