My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 28: Heaven and Earth suffers Wind Disaster

Translator: 549690339

“Boss, this isn’t right,” Sun Zhang somewhat begrudgingly said after hearing the plan. “That courtyard we took great pains to set up, preparing to bribe Manager Qian with. Couldn’t it be too cheap for this kid?”

“If we really want to give it to him, only do that after he helps us seize the fleet,” he continued.

The lady in yellow quirked an eyebrow at Sun Zhang: “Just do as you’re told. By the time we’re waiting for, it won’t be a small courtyard that can throw him

off.’

Sun Zhang grumbled a few complaints under his breath, ultimately not daring to go against his boss’s orders, obediently handing the deed over to Li Fan.

Li Fan did not refuse, and since he had little else to gather, moved into the East Street Courtyard that very day.

The environment of the courtyard, compared to the slums outside of the city, was leaps and bounds better.

The Liuli Government’s officials were on patrol at the alleyway entrance, responsible for maintaining public order and security. The courtyard was also much more spacious than his previous residence—three main rooms, and two additional dispatched rooms on each side. Although not large, it was more than sufficient for Li Fan alone.

After refusing several maids sent over by Tianbao Building, Li Fan settled into the house, calmly waiting for the next departure of the fleet.

Originally, Li Fan thought it wouldn’t take long, but who knew an unexpected event would delay the fleet’s departure indefinitely.

The Wind Disaster had come!

Before, Li Fan had heard of the Wind Disaster frequently from conversations with the locals of the Liuli Island, but he had not paid much mind to it.

He thought at most it would be a typhoon or hurricane, merely a large storm.

But when the Wind Disaster arrived, Li Fan knew just how wrong he was!

That day, Li Fan was practicing his “Mysterious Yellow Heart-Purifying Mantra” at home as usual, when he suddenly heard a flurry of frantic noises from outside.

A strange, piercing noise circulated above the island, and soon spreads across the entire Liuli Island. “Hurry home! The Wind Disaster is coming!” “Bless our luck, Immortal.”

“Mother, where are you? Hurry home!”

The island quickly descended into chaos, with terrified shouts echoing from all corners. Li Fan was slightly taken aback by it all.

Suddenly, he saw a blue light curtain materialize above the Liuli Island.

The light curtain, like an inverted massive bowl, spanned the entire island, enveloping everything within.

“The Island’s Protection Array is activated, and there is no need to panic! Stay in your homes and don’t step outside!” A crisp female voice accompanied the appearance of the light curtain and immediately spread throughout the island.

“Merciful Immortal!”

Hearing the calls all around him, Li Fan looked up and observed the Protection Array carefully.

The blue brilliance flowed, separating the island from the outside.

There were faint, unfamiliar characters occasionally surfacing on the light curtain—it looked extremely mystical.

The howling, akin to the wailing of ghosts, gradually amplified—the wind had arrived!

The light curtain began to ripple, effectively blocking all strong winds.

Inside the light curtain, however, there wasn’t a breath of wind—it was placid.

Then came a heavy downpour.

Huddled together, the raindrops seemed to be woven into streams, crashing against the light curtain.

Circles after circles of ripples reverberated across the light curtain, completely barring the downpour outside.

The outside was dominated by the storm, while all was calm inside the light curtain.

“Is this the Immortal’s method?”

Li Fan marvelled silently to himself.

Although he had already witnessed the destruction leveled by Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi, the sight of this Island Protection Array still made Li Fan itch for it, a sense of infinite yearning.

The storm endured for a good half of the period.

The rain gradually abated, and the wind started to die down as well.

Just when Li Fan thought the Wind Disaster’s time was nearly up, he suddenly noticed something amiss.

Not only did the sky not lighten, but rather it became even darker.

Countless dark clouds, born from nowhere, layer upon layer, seemed to press infinitely downwards.

In an instant, everything between heaven and earth turned pitch black.

The thick black clouds seemed within arm’s reach.

The clouds seemed to be brewing something, and the Liuli Island fell into a momentary silence. The silence was soon broken.

“Boom!”

A thunderous roar exploded next to Li Fan’s ear.

Boom, boom, boom!

Explosive sounds erupted from all directions, continuous and unceasing.

Like a never-ending symphony, it echoed between heaven and earth.

Caught in this enormous sound, Li Fan only felt dizzy, suffering from blurred vision and feeling as if a massive stone slab was pressing against his chest, making it difficult to breathe. Touching his face, he found his nose was bleeding profusely.

Li Fan was horrified, intending to run back into the house to hide, but suddenly he felt the earth beneath him shaking violently.

Under the dizzying upheaval, Li Fan soon lost his balance and fell to the ground.

It felt like something kept hitting it; the earth was continuously trembling.

Li Fan looked up and saw a sight that almost made him stop breathing.

A water wall, its height unknown, took up his entire field of vision. Driven by a gale, it rolled over with the power of a tsunami, towering high and rolling towards Liuli Island!

The towering wave would soon fall, burying all lives below it. Li Fan couldn’t help but raise his hand subconsciously in defense.

“Boom!”

The wave slapped against the blue light shield.

The light shield twisted as if it would shatter at any moment.

However, after a flash of blue light, the light shield returned to normal.

Like a rock on the seashore, it stood firm amidst the heavy waves.

Failing to swallow Liuli Island seemed to infuriate the sea.

One wave after another, they attacked relentlessly.

Liuli Island was like a sapling swaying in the storm, seemingly about to be torn into pieces.

At many points, Liuli Island was completely submerged by the seawater.

Li Fan almost thought the world was going to end like this.

Fortunately, the Island Protection Array proved more reliable than he had imagined, persisting without breaking.

The towering waves struck relentlessly, with no pause.

The apocalyptic scene made Li Fan almost lose his mind.

He didn’t know how long it took for the waves to gradually calm down while he was in this daze.

But they only calmed down, nothing more.

The storm came quickly but left slowly.

In the wind and rain, day and night became indistinguishable. Li Fan felt that a good two or three days had passed before the storm eventually receded.

“Gratitude to the Immortal Teacher!”

The surviving islanders knelt on the ground, crying their eyes out.

Meanwhile, amidst the islanders’ heated discussions, Li Fan received even more shocking news.

The storm that Liuli Island had experienced this time was relatively small in scale.

The storm that had occurred fifteen years ago was several times more powerful than this one.

At that time, the Island Protection Array could not withstand it and had to withdraw to a smaller safe range.

So after the storm, the areas not protected by the array were completely flattened.

The size of Liuli Island was reduced to only one-third of its original size.

It took more than ten years after the storm for Liuli Island to gradually recover its vitality by taking in refugees from all over.

“So this is the storm…”

Li Fan was profoundly shocked.

The power of Heaven and Earth was indeed terrifying!
