Chapter 83: Living Off Others is a Wonderful Thing

"Your experiences are truly… full of twists, turns, and hardships."

Xu Xi remarked after listening to Li Wanshou's narration.

Despite having simulated many times and witnessed various sights, Xu Xi couldn't help but be stunned for several seconds. This experience was simply too absurd and hard to believe.

First, he accidentally obtained an Immortal Pill, changing his fate.

Then, he witnessed the explosion of the Immortal Realm and survived the catastrophe.

Either of these events alone would be incredible, let alone both happening to one person.

"I didn't expect that even a place as powerful as the Immortal Realm would have a moment of destruction and extinction."

Xu Xi commented.

He was slightly surprised by the explosion of the Immortal Realm, but it ended there. It wasn't as if the powerhouse who destroyed the Immortal Realm would secretly set their sights on Earth, right?

Just thinking about it, one would know it was completely impossible.

After all, Earth was too weak.

Compared to the Immortal Realm, it was like an insignificant grain of dust.

How could a peerless powerhouse capable of destroying the Immortal Realm notice such a trivial speck of sand?

In contrast.

Xu Xi was more concerned about another matter.

"Master, can you tell me more about Mo Li?" Xu Xi wanted to know what exactly happened after the first simulation ended.

[The Man Behind 'Him']

This was one of the achievements displayed by the simulator after the first simulation.

Xu Xi was puzzled and curious about what his younger sister had done to be referred to as "Him" by the simulator.

"That child Mo Li?" Li Wanshou pondered for a moment, his expression complex. "After that incident years ago, she became like a completely different person, seeking revenge for you and slaying demonic cultivators."

"She was too astonishing, so brilliant that she shouldn't have existed; the Cultivation World simply couldn't contain her."

"Before even reaching the Ascension realm, she was already invincible in the Lower Realm. She used a sword Dao Divine Ability to slash open the Heavenly Gate and charged into the Immortal Realm despite my attempts to stop her."

"I…"

"Sigh, I thought that after I ascended, I would be able to find traces of that child. I never expected Yin and Yang to be reversed; after all that turning, I still missed her."

Li Wanshou's expression was filled with guilt.

He had promised Xu Xi that he would take good care of Xu Moli, but the great explosion of the Immortal Realm very likely resulted in that child's death.

"It's alright, Master."

"I think… Mo Li is probably someone we don't need to worry about."

Xu Xi comforted his Master.

At the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he subconsciously glanced at the eternal teardrop on his wrist.

Although he didn't know how powerful his sister was, judging by how a single teardrop could block an Immortal Emperor's attack, she had perhaps already embarked on an incredible path.

That version of Mo Li.

She likely wouldn't be weaker than the mastermind behind the destruction of the Immortal Realm.

"I hope that child is safe," Xu Xi thought silently.

He had confidence in his sister, feeling she was strong enough to protect herself.

But inevitably.

Whenever he recalled Mo Li's sickly state, Xu Xi would worry for her, unable to stop himself from thinking: what if his sister was bullied by someone?

Perhaps because these thoughts were so deep, or because he missed his helpless and pitiful sister so much.

Xu Xi often felt.

As if his sister was right by his side, just like in the first simulation, following him step by step, her gaze always upon him.

"Perhaps I really should take a good rest."

Xu Xi poured himself a cup of spiritual water.

He drained it in one gulp again.

He figured it might be a lingering effect from the continuous Alchemy earlier, making his spirit a bit weary. His sister wasn't even on Earth, so how could she be watching him all the time?

With a smile, Xu Xi began chatting with Li Wanshou again.

They talked about the past events of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the rapid changes on Earth, the Supernatural Administration Bureau, and the World Ruins all over the globe.

"This realm is strange, but quite interesting."

Li Wanshou stroked his beard and praised.

In the Cultivation World of the past, there were many novel things, but in a true comparison, the Earth where ten thousand worlds merged was superior.

Magic, Battle Qi, Xuanhuan, Intelligent Machines, Cultivation, Undead.

There were too many.

Simply too many.

"All sorts of things from various worlds are gathered here. I think even the legendary Immortal Emperor could not achieve this," the old man praised while nodding.

"It is indeed miraculous. I wonder what kind of power caused Earth to become like this," Xu Xi echoed in agreement.

Then.

The old man spoke about the purpose of Xu Xi's visit.

Xu Xi did not hide anything, stating his original trade goal was to find suitable Wood-attribute Materials to custom-make a new weapon for himself.

"However, it seems that is no longer necessary now."

Xu Xi opened his palm.

Revealing the branch of the Jianmu tree gifted by Li Wanshou.

Jianmu was the tree that reached the heavens, a divine wood connecting the sky and the earth.

In some ancient texts, it was even called the bridge between gods and men. Its status and essence were on par with the World Tree in Western Fantasy worlds.

With such divine wood as the raw material.

The power of the new weapon would not only be doubled, but it could also grow along with Xu Xi's strength, avoiding the trouble of frequent replacements.

"Master, I enjoyed our chat today. I'm preparing to leave."

"What, you don't plan to stay and spend more time with this old fogey?"

"Next time for sure."

"Get lost, get lost, you Rebellious Disciple!"

The Master and Disciple looked at each other.

And laughed at the same time.

Though the reunion was good, it wasn't suitable to linger too long. Xu Xi knew that Li Wanshou loved peace and quiet most in his life and didn't like being disturbed for too long.

Being able to chat so much this time was purely because of the reunion after a long separation and the surge of emotions.

If they really continued chatting.

Li Wanshou would start chasing him away without Xu Xi needing to say goodbye.

"Then, I shall take my leave first, Master." Xu Xi turned around, preparing to depart, when a Storage Pouch suddenly flew into his hand.

The old man's voice followed immediately.

"Inside are some cultivation resources. They're useless to me, so you take and use them."

"Rebellious Disciple, Cultivate well for your Master, and do not be slack!"

"I am an Immortal after all. How can my Disciple only be at the Nascent Soul Stage? If word gets out, where would I hide this old face?!"

Li Wanshou snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with Xu Xi's cultivation level.

With a flick of his sleeve.

An unstoppable Immortal force distorted space-time, blasting Xu Xi directly out of this space.

By the time Xu Xi reacted, he was already standing in a silver-white metal corridor. The bamboo forest and stream were gone, and Li Wanshou was nowhere to be seen.

"I always feel like something isn't quite right."

Xu Xi stood in place.

Looking at the Storage Pouch in his hand, he fell into deep thought.

In terms of personal strength, he was already living off his sister; the power of the eternal teardrop needed no further explanation.

And now, in terms of official influence, he was also living off his Master. Not only had he leaped to become the Personal Disciple of the Director-General, but he had also obtained a large amount of cultivation resources.

Could it be.

That the script he received was really the 'living off others' trope?

"Living off others is good; I love living off others," Xu Xi gave a sincere evaluation and put away the Storage Pouch. If one could live off others, who would want to work hard?
