My Simulated Road to Immortality

After inspecting the Array Technique, Zhong Daogong clasped his hands and said, "Let's set it as such then. Fellow Daoist, please wait here. Before this incense burns out, I will surely lead everyone here."

Zhong Daogong spoke and with a wave of his sleeve, a stick of earthy yellow incense flew out from his cuff and stood erect in the air.

The flame had been lit, and the faint scent of incense lingered. Zhong Daogong took his leave and escaped, his figure vanishing into the dark Star Sea.

Li Fan's gaze remained fixed for a long time before he eventually made his way back to where Yin Shangren and the others were.

"Holy Master..."

Li Fan's sudden departure and prolonged absence naturally made Yin Shangren and the others aware that there must be trouble. Now that Li Fan had reappeared, they inquired with great concern.

"Unexpectedly, there is still civilization surviving on the frontier of the Starry Sea. It must have been our recent Array formation that connected to the Xuanhuang World and disturbed them," Li Fan said gravely.

It was a statement that shocked everyone: "Here? Full of Death Silence, where could life exist?"

"We don't know yet, just had an initial encounter. However, to have survived in the Broken Star Sea until now, this group of people must be formidable. For the moment, do not expose yourselves; wait until I have gathered clearer information," Li Fan instructed.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The unknown in the Starry Sea—whether friend or foe. Being overly cautious was never undue.

Taking advantage of the brief window before the members of the Immortal Boat arrived, Li Fan continued to teach Yin Shangren and the others.

"Artifacts contain the remnant force of a True Immortal, and so do the World Shards. If we let the Xuanhuang World absorb the World Shards filled with the remnant force of a True Immortal..."

"It might cause world turbulence and disaster to all living beings."

"However, so many years have passed since the Great Calamity of the Star Sea. There should be some Residual Realms where the Power of the True Immortal has nearly dissipated. Only such realms can act as a catalyst," Li Fan elaborated confidently.

"With so many of us working together and each acting on our own, finding a suitable catalyst should not be too difficult," the Artisan remarked as he gazed at the continuous expanse of the Ruined World The Wall in the distance.

Li Fan shook his head slightly.

With a flick of his finger, the Wooden Sword Mirage instantly appeared at the fringe of the Ruined World The Wall.

"You may try going out," Li Fan suggested.

The Artisan was the first to leave the range covered by the Wooden Sword Mirage.

The moment he reached the outside world, the Artisan's complexion drastically changed. It was as if he was suddenly subjected to a massive suction force, uncontrollably flying towards the Ruined World The Wall!

"Halt!"

The Artisan, with a shimmer of golden Armor appearing over his body, scrambled desperately, and it took some effort to steady himself in the Void.

However, he still couldn't stop the tendency to be drawn towards the Ruined World The Wall. The light from his Armor surged, seeming as if it were about to reach its limit.

Li Fan manipulated the Wooden Sword Mirage to envelop the Artisan once more.

Freed from the terrifying suction force, the Artisan looked towards the Ruined World The Wall with fear etched on his face.

"Is there also an Immortal Ruins here?!" everyone said in astonishment.

"Not an Immortal Ruins. Rather, it's a High Wall," Li Fan said slowly, his tone unpredictable.

"The suction force from the Immortal Ruins is blocked by the High Wall at the Starry Sea Frontier. It then accumulates beneath the wall in a way beyond our current understanding. Over time, it has created an alternative form of Immortal Ruins."

"The reason why the World Shards cling together is also to withstand the Echoing Star Power..."

The scene depicted by Li Fan deeply shook all those present.

Even though they couldn't see the Invisible Wall, the fact that it could firmly Imprison the suction force of an Immortal Ruins powerful enough to destroy the entire Star Sea, was sufficient proof of its strength and mystery.

"Moving within the Ruined World The Wall won't reduce the suction force much as compared to the outskirts of the Xuanhuang World. A slight misstep could result in loss of control and a collision with the Residual Realm. If the True Immortal Remnant Force still lingers there..."

"Moreover, the influence of the Echoing Star Power greatly reduces the scope our Divine Sense can explore. The difficulty in searching for a catalyst and the appropriate way to fill the Residual Realm lies herein," Li Fan said with a deep tone.

Li Fan extended his hand, revealing a silky, rainbow-colored crystal.

"This is called the 'Kongming Flow Crystal,' which when used with the Spectrum Rainbow Technique, can to a certain extent withstand the omnipresent suction force."

"Remember, do not overexert yourselves. Once the Rainbow Light is depleted to a third of its capacity, you can depart ahead of time."

Li Fan imparted the Kongming Flow Crystal and the Spectrum Rainbow Technique obtained from Law Transmission to everyone.

"Of course, if you can achieve the Swordless Self Realm like me, perhaps you will be able to ignore the Echoing Star Power to a certain extent." The Wooden Sword Mirage flickered, bringing everyone back to safety.

"The Ruined World The Wall, with countless World Shards. With just my power alone, searching for a suitable catalyst is exceedingly difficult. Therefore, I need your assistance," Li Fan stated earnestly.

Bai Hua couldn't help but ask at this moment, "Holy Master, what exactly do you seek after all this effort? Is it merely to help the Xuanhuang World ascend and benefit from it?"

Li Fan smiled slightly, "The upgrade of Xuanhuang, escaping the World-ending crisis. We may receive nourishment from Heaven and Earth, maybe even breaking the limits of Faan. Isn't it achieving multiple things in one stroke, isn't that enough?"

As everyone was about to ask more, Li Fan's gaze flashed, "Someone is coming over there. I'll be back soon."

"You all stay here for now, familiarize yourselves with the use of the Spectrum Rainbow Technique."

Before his voice had faded, Li Fan had disappeared from sight.

On the Wooden Sword Mirage, everyone fell into a long silence.

Eventually, Xu Ke broke the silence: "Actually, with the Holy Master's power alone, it's probably possible to promote the advancement of Xuanhuang World. It's just a matter of taking a bit more time."

"But still, he takes us burdens along... reminds me of Mr. Bai back in the day."

Xu Ke spoke with emotion, a look of infinite reminiscence in his eyes.

On hearing this, the others remained silent, saying nothing.

Indeed, from their perspective, there was nothing worth seeking on their part for the Holy Master.

...

Outside the pavilions of the Great Array.

The Elders of the Immortal Boat gathered together; they did not enter but observed from afar.

Divine Sense communicated continuously: "How is it, could it be a trap?"

"It seems we were overthinking it. There's indeed no offensive mechanism; it should just be an Illusion Array."

"But it's just an Array Technique. How strong can it be? With so many of us here, are we still afraid of just one person?"

"Correct, under the might of True Immortal Seal Characters, any Array Technique will be reduced to ashes."

"Don't forget, the person on the other side also understands True Immortal Seal Characters. Even more deeply than us..."

The exchange between the Elders came to a sudden halt.

At this moment, Li Fan, whom they had been waiting for, slowly emerged from the Great Array.

In his hand, he casually held the incense left by Zhong Daogong; only a third of it remained.

Li Fan looked around at everyone and nodded: "Indeed, as trustworthy as your words."

Zhong Daogong started to introduce everyone to Li Fan: "This is Gan Jingda. This is Nangong Lie..."

After some pleasantries, Li Fan invited everyone to enter the Array for a detailed discussion.

The Members of the Immortal Ark looked at each other and eventually reached a consensus, following him into the Array together.

They settled in a pavilion inside, and the people present went straight to the point.

"I wonder how many True Immortal Seal Characters have been analyzed so far in your Hometown?" Zhong Daogong asked directly.

This question was critical, with all the Members of the Immortal Ark looking at Li Fan, waiting for his reply.

"Thirteen," Li Fan said calmly.

Hearing this, the Elders of the Immortal Boat looked at each other, most of them with skeptical expressions.

"Of course, that is a few. However, only those with an analysis completeness of over ninety percent are counted," Li Fan added.

This time the Elders of the Immortal Boat could not hold back any longer and asked hastily, "Is what you say true, friend?"

Li Fan laughed softly, his face proud.

Zhong Daogong gestured, and the Elders of the Immortal Boat gradually calmed down.

"It's not that we don't trust you. It's just that thirteen True Immortal Seal Characters and furthermore at ninety percent completeness is..."

"Indeed." Zhong Daogong looked at Li Fan

"Thirteen," Li Fan repeated calmly.

The Elders of the Immortal Boat looked at each other once more, with most faces revealing doubt.

"Of course, that is a few. However, only those with an analysis completeness of over ninety percent are counted," Li Fan added again.

This time the Elders of the Immortal Boat could not hold back any longer and asked hastily, "Is what you say true, friend?"

Li Fan laughed softly, his face proud.

Zhong Daogong gestured, and the Elders of the Immortal Boat gradually calmed down.

"It's not that we don't trust you. It's just that thirteen True Immortal Seal Characters and furthermore at ninety percent completeness is..."

"Indeed." Zhong Daogong looked at Li Fan
