My Simulated Road to Immortality

In the end, the Celestial Dharma Bearer he most dreaded had temporarily left the Xuanhuang World.

Although the people below relied on the methods left by the Celestial Dharma Bearer to throw their weight around above him,

by relying on himself, he could create a human Incarnate and achieve a certain level of Xiaoyao. And if there were powerful external forces assisting...

Just as he was lost in thought, Li Fan let slip another astonishing remark.

"What I just described was the first plan."

"Actually, I have a second plan, which might also help you achieve real freedom."

"Oh?" The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar looked at Li Fan with a bit of surprise.

"The Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror measures heaven and plumbs earth. Now, you are deeply entwined with the Xuanhuang World, and although you claim to be an Immortal Instrument, it is undeniable that your strength is ultimately constrained by this Heaven and Earth."

"Right or not?"

"In recent years, the Xuanhuang World has expanded a hundredfold, and you must have reaped many benefits from it, right?"

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar remained silent, not denying it.

The person before him knew far more than he had expected.

"Perhaps choosing to cooperate with him really isn’t a bad idea," the thought suddenly crossed the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar’s Spirit Consciousness.

"Now, the worlds in the surrounding Star Domains are almost entirely plundered dry. The expansion of the Xuanhuang World has hit a bottleneck, and this is as far as you can go."

"However, what you control should only be the Xuanhuang Main Realm. If all the Small Worlds you’ve plundered over the years were included in your measuring scope..."

"Wouldn’t you advance even further?" Li Fan prompted.

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar thought for a moment, then frankly said, "In fact, I’ve had this plan for years. However, on the one hand, the project is too vast. On the other hand, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, especially the mirror-wielding lineage, has always advocated to limit the power of my main body. Thus, this plan has never been successfully put into motion..."

"If I were to plan it, it would definitely succeed and help you ascend," Li Fan stated confidently.

"By that time, with the power you could control, even if Xuanhuang were to collapse, you would likely be able to emerge unscathed, right?"

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar, seeing the other talk as if it were true, couldn’t help flashing a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Could it be, he possesses an extremely proficient World Artifact for deducing?"

In the memory of the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar, there existed a World Artifact capable of deduction in the Xuanhuang World, only slightly inferior to him. Hence, he instinctively thought in this direction.

Even as an Immortal Instrument, the Tianxuan Mirror had neither seen nor heard of Treasures like [Real] that could turn the intangible tangible and reverse everything. So he couldn’t imagine that Li Fan seemed unfathomable simply because he had experienced so much.

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar pondered for a while and ultimately chose the first of the two plans proposed by Li Fan.

He explained it this way, "The second plan would take too long to execute and has too many variables."

"Whereas the first plan..."

"Even if you ultimately fail, as long as it creates a bit of leeway for me," the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar’s eyes revealed a flash of confidence.

"Just give me a little time, and I will be able to free myself."

Seeing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but applaud, "Well then, since we’ve reached an agreement, I think we can kick off our cooperation."

"Between us, you don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you. Our so-called cooperation is entirely based on a trade of interests. But in my view, such cooperation is often the most solid in the world. Because oaths and promises can be betrayed, but one will never betray their own interests. At the very least..."

"That’s how it is between you and me," Li Fan said, sizing up the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar with a smile.

"Now, let’s commence the first step of the plan. To deduce the Array Technique that could loosen the Forbidden Formation trapping you..."

"So, what exactly is the Forbidden Formation of the Celestial Dharma Bearer?"

Facing this question, the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar this time didn’t fall into the temporary stupor of accessing vast amounts of data, but as if it were etched deep in the soul, blurted out, "Deep-rooted entanglement burrowing into the marrow. It has taken root within the Heaven and Earth of the Xuanhuang World, fusing into one!"

Li Fan’s eyes narrowed instantly.

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar paused for a moment, then sighed slightly, "During the Mystic Sky Sect era, I measured the Xuanhuang World Heaven and Earth and was able to observe and discern most matters in time. That was because I was suspended high above, detached from worldly matters."

"But after the restrictions imposed by the Celestial Dharma Bearer, I have merged within the Xuanhuang World Heaven and Earth, thereby losing such Divine Technique. After all, it’s just rooting and integrating, without holding the true power of Heaven and Earth."

"Unless I can Replace the Heaven, otherwise..." The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar shook his head somewhat dejectedly.

"In other words, helping you out of this plight is really no easy matter," Li Fan echoed.

"Indeed, and that was only the initial Forbidden Formation that the Celestial Dharma Bearer placed on me back then. Throughout the years of the Immortal Alliance holding power, the line of those in control of the mirror, kept finding ways to strengthen their hold over me. Although their methods are far from matching the Celestial Dharma Bearer’s, the accumulation over time still amounts to quite a bit."

"Even excrement, when piled up, can form a mountain." Perhaps harboring deep resentment, the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar even spouted coarse language.

"Should the day come when I break free, before I leave, I will certainly settle the score with them!" he said with resentment.

Seeing him lose all the detached and carefree manner of an immortal instrument, Li Fan smiled and stayed silent.

"I have quite some research into Array Techniques, if you share the detailed information about the Law Transmission Forbidden Formation with me. Give me some time, I should be able to find a way to break it," Li Fan said without making any promises.

Now that a preliminary cooperation agreement was already reached between them, there was no longer any need for concealment.

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar immediately transferred the relevant information.

The method of transfer was quite unique as he directly broke off one of his fingers.

The finger then became transparent and shiny, like a glass mirror, with light dancing within it, as if it flickered with countless pieces of information.

Looking back at the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar, the broken finger quickly regenerated.

"You’re truly worthy of being a Tianxuan Mirror Incarnate, quite different from a real human body," Li Fan remarked inwardly upon seeing this.

At the same time, he took the transparent finger.

He began to read the information from the old location.

The vast amount of data suddenly surged in, causing Li Fan’s thoughts to slow just for a moment.

Then they began to operate slowly again.

Even though it was a Forbidden Formation left by the Celestial Dharma Bearer thousands of years ago, Li Fan had to admit that it was exquisitely sophisticated and incomparably complex.

The flow of data was continuously absorbed and transformed by Li Fan.

The Huadao Stone and Final Separation Disk began to cooperate, working on the solution.

"These, are just the parts I can perceive. In places beyond my sight, there may exist other special Forbidden Formations," the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar kindly reminded.

"Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be a big issue. However..."

"As part of the deal, now that I’ve begun to take action, shouldn’t you provide some benefits?" Li Fan suddenly spoke up.

"What do you want?" the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar asked while looking at Li Fan.

"Hmm..." Li Fan pretended to ponder for a moment.

Then he said, "I need to deduce Formation Arrays, so I need some arrays for reference."

"How about the Floating Star Space Array?"
