My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 1513: Chapter 1317: God Tree Hides the Immortal Character _2

Many flew out directly from the cage-like structure, converging towards the glimmering [Creation] characters at the center.

Even if they were just illusory shadows of light, they still drove the fragments of the seal characters into a frenzy.

The Arm of Severing Immortals spontaneously disintegrated, forcing the Elders of the Immortal Ark to divert a portion of their mind to maintain its stability.

Yet in truth, like these characters, the attention of these elders was irresistibly concentrated on those two words of [Creation]!

“Indeed, it’s no empty boast; one such word is worth the sum of all others!”

“Creation… It’s actually Creation!”

“The Immortal Ark is saved!”

…

Having immersed themselves in the study of True Immortal Seal Characters for the better half of their lives, the Elders of the Immortal Ark naturally had profound understanding. Upon seeing the true face of [Creation], they quickly discerned its true meaning.

Without exception, they all exclaimed in astonishment.

Before the Ultimate Truth of the Great Dao, all guile and scheming are but illusions.

While the attention of the Elders of the Immortal Ark was captured, Li Fan quietly observed, analyzing the custodian of the secret vault of the Immortal Ark, the Arm of Severing Immortals.

It must be said that the method of theft prevention that integrates all treasures through incomplete characters indeed possesses some genius.

Even if one harbors thoughts of theft, has been reincarnated many times, has extraordinary experience, and even with Li Fan being endowed with the Final Separation Disk, he had not found a suitable way to break it momentarily.

However, at this moment, with the appearance of the two characters of [Creation], the characters composing the Arm of Severing Immortals began to disintegrate and converge towards [Creation] on their own.

This allowed him to glimpse the specific structural composition of the Arm of Severing Immortals.

“To completely break this arm in an instant seems difficult. However, it should still be possible to abscond with some key items,” Li Fan contemplated internally, continuing his derivations.

The True Immortal Seal Characters of [Creation] are incredibly profound and not something that can be fully grasped overnight.

The Elders of the Immortal Ark were engrossed in them, and seeing Li Fan calmly waiting on the side, they did not spare any more attention for him. Hence, they gave Li Fan ample time to decipher the Hundred Hearings Immortal Record.

“This one, this one, and this one, it’s best to take them all later…”

Li Fan naturally noticed the hidden murderous intent of the Elder of the Immortal Ark towards him.

However, Li Fan himself did not harbor any good intentions either.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by [Creation] within the secret vault, Li Fan had silently laid out his plundering methods.

He used the same fragmentary characters of True Immortal Seal, intermingling falsehood with truth, integrating into the Arm of Severing Immortals.

The longer the Elder of the Immortal Ark immersed in comprehending [Creation], the richer his planted schemes became.

And the more items he would be able to plunder later.

“There’s no rush to act for now,” Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued his subtle maneuvers in secret.

In a flash, more than thirty days had passed.

Zhong Daogong was the first to awake from his comprehension, his expression somewhat vacant, and then he took a deep breath.

He then gave a bow to Li Fan: “Thank you, fellow Daoist!”

“To witness [Creation] with my own eyes is indeed a stroke of Heavenly Luck! If not for the fortune owing to you, fellow Daoist, perhaps I would never have had such an encounter in my lifetime!”

Li Fan accepted it frankly and then waved his hand: “It is but a trade!”

Zhong Daogong shook his head: “How can worldly possessions be compared with this [Creation]? With this trade, we of the Immortal Ark are the ones who have truly benefited immensely!”

Li Fan laughed heartily, saying no more.

The rest of the Elders of the Immortal Ark gradually regained their senses from their insights.

They too first gave a slight bow to Li Fan, then exchanged glances, and all their eyes settled on Li Fan.

The intent contained in their eyes was almost identical.

They wanted to see a purer, closer to the complete form of [Creation].

As desires are never satisfied, having witnessed the True Immortal Seal Characters inscribed by Li Fan and faintly grasped the infinite power contained within, an inevitable and deeper desire arose in their hearts.

“Fellow Daoist, I wonder, the [Creation] within the World-Guardian Immortal Artifact of Da Qi…”

“May we have a glimpse?” Jian Dusheng asked very politely.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan showed a troubled expression: “Even within our Da Qi, only the direct disciples who pass through layers of scrutiny are entitled to glimpse the true memory of the Immortal Artifact. Others learn through transmitted layers of teaching…”

Li Fan looked at the Elders of the Immortal Ark, smiled and said: “I can fully understand the feelings of all of you. But this is only our first transaction. Perhaps, after more contact in the future, we might agree to your request for a visit?”

Upon hearing this, the Elders of the Immortal Ark showed diverse expressions.

But they resumed their discussion in private.

“Zhong Elder, what do we say now?”

“We definitely can’t kill him! We must maintain our connection with Da Qi, in hopes of attaining a more complete [Creation]…”

“True, compared to this [Creation], those other True Immortal Seal Characters seem rather insignificant.”

“Da Qi can even disseminate [Creation], compared to us on the Immortal Boat, it’s indeed like having a narrow-minded view.”

After witnessing the might of [Creation], the attitudes of the Elders of the Immortal Boat all underwent a unified change.

Seeing this, Zhong Daogong had already made some decisions in his heart.

“According to our agreement, next, we will lead our fellow Daoists to view the genuine True Immortal Seal Characters,” he said with a smile to Li Fan.

“Although this genuine piece is not as impressive as the [Creation] you’ve displayed, it is still the handiwork of a True Immortal, and I believe it will surely inspire you,” Zhong Daogong said confidently.

“Oh? I’m quite eager to see it now.”

Feeling the secret moves he left within the Arm of Severing Immortals, Li Fan also responded with a smile.

Following the Elder of the Immortal Boat, they temporarily left the secret storehouse.

From the top of the God Tree, all the way to the heart of the God Tree.

In the verdant space, a ruin hovered.

Stretching out thousands of branches from above, sprawling onto the trunk of the God Tree.

On the ground of the ruin, a True Immortal Seal character was engraved.

But due to the coverage of the tree’s branches, the full image could not be observed.

At the moment he saw this ruin, Li Fan’s heart stirred.

Because the architectural style of this ruin here was very similar to what he had seen on the ground of the Immortal Ruins.

“An Immortal World ruin?” Li Fan couldn’t help but turn his head and ask, looking very surprised.

“Fellow Taoist has keen insights.” The Elders of the Immortal Ark were also astonished that Li Fan could recognize the origin of the ruin and raised their evaluation of the Da Qi civilization a few notches higher.

“Indeed, these ruins are what fell from the Upper World when the path to immortality was severed,” Zhong Daogong said in a low voice.

“At that time, the news of the severed path had not yet spread throughout the Star Sea. Hence, no one expected that this abruptly appearing structure might be related to the Immortal World. However, the True Immortal Seal characters engraved within it triggered a great calamity.”

“Our Immortal Boat also only discovered the source of this calamity in the Star Sea ruins after tens of thousands of years.”

The Elder of the Immortal Boat joined in casting a spell, and the branches of the God Tree intertwined on the ground of the ruin slowly loosened.

Revealing the true form of the True Immortal Seal character.

It seemed, because of the passage of so much time and the daily absorption by the God Tree, the vibrations emanating from the character were negligible.

But this did not stop Li Fan from instantly discerning the meaning of the character.

[Ancient].

“Ancient…” Li Fan murmured, using his hand as a pen, he attempted to trace and write.

The character [Ancient] on the ground of this ruin seemed very similar to the character [Chaos].

He had once seen in the Enshrouded Realm of White Fog.
