My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 835: Chapter 797 Journey of a Hundred Lives (Bonus for 5000 monthly votes)

After witnessing the highest scenery of this world, I can still precisely recognize my position at the bottom of the mountain.

This is also an expression of the Immortal Heart.

Setting aside the legendary deeds of the true immortals beyond the Xuanhuang World for now, Li Fanping calmed his emotions and opened the [Real] interface.

He was now living through his 119th life.

Time anchored: 2 years.

...

Rows of small text cascaded down like a waterfall.

…

Because he had not chosen to retain his cultivation base but rather chose to keep the item [Final Separation Disk], Li Fan was still at the realm of Mid Stage Golden Core. The upper limit of his body’s age had also reverted from 999 back to 599.

However, such a thing as the upper limit of lifespan was essentially inconsequential for Li Fan. After all, for many lives, except during his mortal period, he seldom died a natural death. Moreover, now that he had unlocked the ability to [Incarnate], this mattered even less.

Interestingly, the upper limit of his psychological age did not decrease with the regression of his cultivation base. Presumably, this was somehow related to Li Fan’s heart and divine soul.

“Now, it only takes 6 years for [Real] to fully charge. This means I can enter the Xuanhuang World two years earlier,” he thought.

Li Fan’s gaze shifted downwards, resting on the six bound items of [Real], causing his brow to furrow slightly.

“Golden Scroll of the Jade Sphere, Tai Yan Boat, Stopping Stele…”

“These were all treasures I had preserved in order to escape the Da Xuan World during the time I struggled through my mortal reincarnations. They were incredibly precious to me at the time.”

“But now, they have little significance. The main issue is, they’re constantly displayed on the [Real] interface, which is bothersome to look at.”

“It would be nice if there were a way to remove them.”

As he was thinking this, a subtle prompt from [Real] faintly reached him.

“Is it possible to consume a small number of anchor points to replace already bound items?”

Li Fan was momentarily stunned and narrowed his eyes.

“Indeed, that’s a good thing. But there was no such replacement feature before.”

“The charging time for Void Transformation has also been reduced…”

“Has [Real]’s capabilities strengthened?”

Li Fan pondered for a moment, then started to carefully sense the other functions of [Real].

However, to his slight regret, he could not discern any other changes at the moment.

“Previously, I speculated that the charging speed of [Real] was related to my divine soul and will. Now, it seems it may also be connected to some other unknown factors.”

“Perhaps it’s because I’ve met a True Immortal, and my perspective has broadened?”

“Has the so-called exploration level increased?”

Once again inadvertently thinking of the existence of true immortals, Li Fan’s mind began to wander.

It was only after a good while that he was able to regain his focus.

His attention returned to the [Real] interface.

There was nothing much to say about the remaining techniques and divine techniques.

Although they appeared quite impressive, their actual performances were indeed extraordinary.

One could say he was invincible among his peers and could even kill those above his level.

But having seen Mr. Bai and Celestial Dharma Bearer, or even a [True Immortal] take action,

Li Fan started to feel that all of these seemed a bit flashy and ostentatious.

“In this world, it seems that one’s realm truly surpasses everything else.”

“If one’s realm is a level higher, then it represents an absolute crushing of strength. It doesn’t make any sense at all.”

“An ordinary cultivator in the Unity Realm is no match for the Immortal Sovereign in front of him.”

“And a True Immortal from the Immortal Ruins can annihilate the Profound Yellow World with just a glance.”

“The so-called killing of an enemy beyond one’s level is nothing more than a big fish eating a smaller fish within the same realm.”

…

Li Fan fell silent for a long while, devoid of any pride in his heart.

But he quickly rallied his spirits.

“I have [Real] in my possession. Even if it’s a True Immortal, I may still be able to reach such heights.”

“But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

“I must proceed in an orderly fashion.”

“‘The Immortal-Sitting Secret’ has already been elevated to the Realm of Unification. For a long time to come, I won’t need to worry about my main cultivation technique.”

“‘The Method of Infinite Fullness and Emptiness’ is a Divine Technique that can strengthen the Divine Soul. My Divine Soul is my only flaw. Whether facing Ruo Mu or Mr. Bai, I am almost defenseless…”

“I hope that this Divine Technique derived from the Tianxuan Mirror can be somewhat effective.”

With a clear understanding of the powers of those old monsters, Li Fan did not believe that this Divine Technique alone could completely hold them off. If it could allow him to detect any anomaly the moment he was “contaminated,” that would be a cause for immense gratitude.

Although, from the events that happened after he became an Incarnate in his previous life,

Mr. Bai indeed seemed to be an absolutely good person, with no intention of seizing [Real] from him. His series of actions, by comparison, seemed clownish, merely provoking laughter.

But…

Who can guarantee that this isn’t because he knew he could no longer find the whereabouts of Li Fan as an Incarnate, so he performed deliberately for Li Fan to see?

Therefore, if given another chance, Li Fan would still do the same thing.

Li Fan has always prioritized his own safety above everything else. He wouldn’t easily trust anyone else.

But then again, risk comes with corresponding rewards.

In his previous life, although there were numerous crises,

the gains were substantial as well.

Firstly, it was confirmed that although the Celestial Dharma Bearer was powerful and dominated the Profound Yellow World,

He was not an all-knowing being.

When Li Fan detonated a large number of Chaos Puppets in various places of the Xuanhuang World, taking advantage of the chaos, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan, controlling the Medicine King True Cauldron, stealthily broke out of the Xuanhuang World.

If the Celestial Dharma Bearer truly had full control over everything in the Xuanhuang World, then even if the Medicine King True Cauldron was covered with a layer of material that shielded it from Divine Sense Perception, and despite the disruption from the Chaos characters in the Xuanhuang World…

The Medicine King True Cauldron definitely would not have been able to escape His control.

But it did just that.

This is enough to indicate that the Celestial Dharma Bearer still falls within the conceptual range of a [Cultivator].

A Cultivator who is simply extremely powerful.

One can infer His actions based on experience and understanding.

But True Immortals…

Cannot be speculated upon using common sense. It is best not to provoke them unnecessarily.

“The reason why Celestial Dharma Bearer seems to be unbeatable is because He became an Immortal through new methods. Later Cultivators who cultivate using new methods will contribute and add strength to Him.”

“Thousands of years of accumulation is enough to push Him to an unfathomable extent.”

“To defeat Celestial Dharma Bearer, one must first break His foundation.”

“This is also the reason why, after the appearance of the [Art of Self-Founded Cultivation], He did not hesitate to show Himself personally, just to erase it.”
