My Simulated Road to Immortality

Amidst the layers of shadow, Li Fan only felt that countless "selves" were being continually duplicated and generated.

This mass of shadow, hidden underground in the Yuandao State of the Xuanhuang World, was rapidly evolving towards the realm of the Ink-Killing Immortal Soul.

With the blessing of the two Tao paths [Illusionary Life] and [Eternal], they could actually disregard the threshold of Ascension to Immortality, directly crossing the boundary between Immortal and Mortal.

Transcending from Mortal, Ascending to Immortal!

Amidst the ink-colored ocean, Li Fan understood clearly the effects of these two Tao paths.

Illusionary Life provides infinite evolutionary impetus, pushing to the extreme in numbers and quantity, infinitely extending until breaking the shackles of Immortal and Mortal.

Eternal transforms into an extremely solid Tao Foundation, unyielding regardless of internal or external transformations. Even if a tower of a million or more feet, it must be built upon my land.

In change and constancy, a moment becomes millennia.

Finally, when a brand-new ink color broke through countless difficulties and descended into the world. Its transformation quickly spread to other parts of the ink mass.

This mortal flesh and body of Xuanhuang World actually conceived an Immortal Soul!

Because the energy consumed by Mo Sha's ascension was entirely provided by Li Fan from beginning to end. Thus, the true "biological parent" of Mo Sha in this world is actually Li Fan. It just borrowed a layer of Xuanhuang World's stomach.

After all, being the place where the Immortal Soul was conceived, when Mo Sha ascended, the subtle connection cultivated over tens of thousands of years between it and Xuanhuang World still provided some feedback to Xuanhuang.

However, compared to the normal transformation that would occur after Xuanhuang World ascends. The changes brought by Mo Sha's premature ascent are not so pleasant.

Originally just one branch among the many Essences of Heaven and Earth, now it dominates absolutely. As Mo Sha transforms into an Immortal Soul, it forcibly imbues some of its characteristics onto Xuanhuang World.

Heavy layers of dark clouds arose for no reason, completely shrouding the Xuanhuang sky. On the ground, gusts of black wind swept by from time to time. As if Mo Sha descended, everything touched by the wind was reduced to tiny black particles.

The Xuanhuang World, which had just recovered with vitality after the threat of the Immortal Ruins was eliminated, suddenly turned into a dark netherworld apocalypse!

Fortunately, most living beings were asleep in the Wuyou Dreamscape Paradise, under the protection of Li Fan's power. Mo Sha, giving face to Li Fan as its "kin" and "parent," avoided direct confrontation with the Paradise.

Li Fan could vaguely sense the furious yet powerless emotions of the Xuanhuang Heaven Path. Even the power of one realm is no match for the current Mo Sha Immortal Soul. The Xuanhuang Realm Celestial Way had to endure for now, slowly accumulating strength from the benefits brought by Mo Sha's ascension.

But Mo Sha did not seem inclined to stop there.

While not directly attacking the Xuanhuang Heaven Path, it extended its tendrils towards the various Essences of Heaven and Earth in Xuanhuang World.

The Essences of Heaven and Earth, initially manifesting countless laws and forms, were gradually imprinted with Mo Sha's lines under the erosion of the Mo Sha Immortal Soul. Their manifestations of power in Heaven and Earth all bore the destructive characteristics of Mo Sha.

Even the Essences of Heaven and Earth that were not particularly aggressive, such as the Crimson Flame, became somewhat terrifying.

"If this blackened Crimson Flame were ordered to boil the sea, perhaps in a single day and night, Cong Yun would already have withered."

Mo Sha was not merely simple erosion.

As the ink color gradually occupied Xuanhuang World, the eerie shadows around Li Fan differentiated into "Mo Sha Immortal Souls" with various properties.

Though the essence remained unchanged, they also possessed some characteristics of other Tao paths in the world.

Overall harmonious, yet bringing unique vitality.

...

Seeing all the changes between Mo Sha and Xuanhuang World, Li Fan felt a strange premonition in his heart.

"Perhaps, this Xuanhuang World, reformed by the Mo Sha Immortal Soul, now possesses some survival capability under the Path-obliterating Calamity."

"Perhaps, just this degree of transformation isn't enough. But compared to its previous primal state, its resistance to Dao Yan has undoubtedly greatly increased."

"Perhaps this was the initial intent of implanting Mo Sha's power into the experimental field?"

Now, although Xuanhuang World seemed somewhat eerie and terrifying. Against the backdrop of the entire Mortal World about to perish in the Tao Yan Tide, it ironically appeared more "suitable" for survival.

"Just like how in the wasteland of Immortal cultivation, a simple stone cave hidden underground was more suitable for survival than the magnificent palace above ground."

"If this Xuanhuang World model were promoted throughout the Mortal World..." Li Fan couldn't help but squint.

"Even if it cannot prevent the Tao Yan Tide from engulfing everything, perhaps one or two islands will survive after the tide. In some sense, it could be seen as a method of saving the world."

"But it presupposes a baptism by Mo Sha."

Feeling the myriad shadows writhing around, Li Fan couldn't help but slightly shake his head.

Not every Immortal Cultivation World can easily withstand the changes brought by the Mo Sha Immortal Soul like Xuanhuang World.

Not to mention the various unique aspects of the Immortal World experimental field.

Even such a special Xuanhuang World. Without the protection of Li Fan's power, the tens of thousands of years of bond from nurturing Mo Sha within, missing any part, Xuanhuang World would suffer heavy blows in the ink baptism.

Let alone other normal Immortal Cultivation Worlds in the Mortal World.

"If this mass of shadow were released, I'm afraid even the Sea of the Northern Stars, fortified by the Dao Network, could not withstand its weight."
