My Simulated Road to Immortality

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 melted 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, momentarily 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 enjoyment.

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 me, 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 some distant Tao.” Li Fan pondered for a moment and responded.

“Hehehe…” Scholar Zhu let out a dark laugh.

“You are wrong.”
