My Simulated Road to Immortality

The mouths were cursing at each other, yet countless eyes were surprisingly unified, showing expressions of calm, sorrow, and despair. It seemed to be their final emotions before death.

No matter what, even if this alien entity was attracted upwards, it would still be divided and devoured in the end.

...

Li Fan looked back at Bearing the Dao, somewhat puzzled: "Senior Brother, Nameless True Immortals, bodies and paths united. Isn't it that under normal circumstances, one can only cultivate a single path?"

"Why are all the immortals of the Guangwu Star Sea able to absorb the residual paths within the Giant Rat Immortal's body? Could it be they are all geniuses who can [cultivate multiple paths simultaneously]?"

"Naturally not." Bearing the Dao smiled.

"Ordinary great paths cannot be cultivated simultaneously. However, the Taoist Principles within the Giant Rat Immortal's body are different. During the process of devouring them, the Giant Rat Immortal attempted to complete a fusion of various paths at least once. Later, it even drifted in the Dao Yan Tide..."

"To avoid being obliterated by the Dao Yan, it could only try to aggregate as much as possible. Even paths themselves have an instinct to continue existing. Therefore, if the Immortal Coffin drifts long enough in the Mountain Sea, then under this unimaginable pressure, the residual great paths themselves would undergo a certain degree of fusion..."

"Which provided the possibility for True Immortals to devour them."

"Just like a hard stone, normally impossible to swallow. But if crushed into powder, it could barely be swallowed, though with consequences..." Bearing the Dao shook his head slightly.

"Opportunism is ultimately not the righteous path."

"But what does this have to do with the Guangwu Star Sea sending the Giant Rat Immortal to test me? Logically, with such bait, shouldn't they keep it carefully? Could it be..."

Li Fan suddenly realized something, abruptly looking up at the sky.

Unbeknownst to when, the Abyss Star Ocean beyond the Primordial Immortal Realm.

Had seemingly become overcast with dark clouds.

"Path-obliterating Calamity?"

Under subtle perception, Li Fan only discovered through the Phantom of the Guarded Hill that the Dao Yan pressure faced by the Abyss Star Ocean was continuously rising.

This was evidently an extremely abnormal situation.

"Is it because we killed the Giant Rat Immortal?" Li Fan looked at Bearing the Dao.

"Perhaps the aim of the Guangwu Star Sea wasn't you, Junior Brother. After all, suppressing the Daoist Sword and Dao Blade has many possibilities. They merely needed someone capable of killing the Giant Rat Immortal. I think, moving disaster is what they wanted." With the impending Path-obliterating Calamity, Bearing the Dao still wore a smile.

"If it were just the Master's Illusion within the High Wall, it might really not hold. But with you as the variable, Junior Brother, it just works. It's truly wonderful! Luckily, I didn't rashly release them before..."

Those referred to by Bearing the Dao were naturally the Hungry Immortals and others sealed within the Sealing Pillar.

"Junior Brother, facing this tide now, we probably need to collaborate strategically."

"Willingly so, I dare not request it!"

The more Bearing the Dao needed the Phantom of the Guarded Hill, the less strength Li Fan could obtain.

As the clouds approached menacingly, to prevent the sudden clashing of the heavens of the Abyss Star Sea, he had to return the power of all the Sealing Pillars.

However, even this was somewhat insufficient to withstand the Dao Yan Tide from who knows where.

It seemed to have pinpointed the location of the Primordial Immortal Realm where the Giant Rat Immortal perished, with wave after wave crashing down.

Constantly attacking.

The form shifted in an instant.

If it couldn't be sustained, the annihilation of the Lower Realm would only be a moment away. Li Fan might be forced to actually protect themselves.

Luckily, seeing Bearing the Dao still unflustered, Li Fan calmed his mind.

"Senior Brother, please wait a moment."

Before the words fell, Bearing the Dao transformed from a withered old figure back to a blue silhouette. Clearly completing the swap between the true self and the Inheritor's Illusion.

Li Fan gazed far beyond the High Wall, only to see the Dao Network of the Sea of the Northern Stars suddenly erupt in dazzling blue light.

Encompassing the entire Star Sea together.

Flying swiftly toward the High Wall.

"Together we thrive, apart we perish!"

Bearing the Dao's voice reached into Li Fan's ears from afar.

Li Fan could not help but rejoice, "Willing to join Senior Brother in resisting the Dao Yan."

Hesitant for a moment internally.

But did not show it. He began to cooperate, merging the Dao Network and High Wall together simply.

The Dao Network, the High Wall.

In essence, both transformed Nameless True Immortals to support the Tao.

The High Wall that supported Dao Yan was essentially five Lord Guardian Hill Phantoms. And the true creator of the Dao Network was the Mountain Sea Spirit Stone personally enlightened by Lord Guardian Hill.

Thus, fusing the Dao Network and the High Wall was quite smooth.

The Sea of the Northern Stars was forcibly dragged away from its original position. It arrived near the High Wall.

However, because outside the High Wall was a narrow strip of Oblivion Land. The surviving Starry Sky was not enough to fully accommodate the Sea of the Northern Stars. Thus it seemed as if in the process of mutual contact and accommodation, the Star Sea where the High Wall was located thrust harshly into the Sea of the Northern Stars.

This was just a facade.

In Li Fan's eyes, beside the towering five Phantom of the Guarded Hill stood figures only waist-high. Observing their appearance, they were precisely Bearing the Dao.

Standing respectfully, positioned behind the Phantom of the Guarded Hill.

And behind the master-disciple duo were slanting Dao Strings.

Though not like true Heavenly Pillars that could directly resist Dao Yan, they were still a form of support.

With the deepening fusion, the rope-like Dao Strings became denser.

Under the increasing support, Li Fan finally sensed the overcast clouds drifting over the Primordial Immortal Realm starting to slowly scatter.

Not disappearing.

But recognizing the futility, temporarily retreating.

Unclear when they might return.

"Many thanks for Senior Brother's aid." Li Fan solemnly said.

Bearing the Dao waved his hand: "Though it is saving you, it's also self-saving. If it were just the Dao Network, I fear it wouldn't have held."

After the words, Bearing the Dao pointed to where the Sea of the Northern Stars originally was.

Already a precarious situation, with the supporting Dao Network moved. The Path-obliterating Calamity surged down in an instant, engulfing everything.

The previously vibrant Starry Sky had already sunk into pitch-black annihilation.

The resultant complete oblivion zone cut off the Dao Network, High Wall unity, from the outside completely.

Li Fan's expression was very grim: "I'm afraid Senior Brother's guess was right. The Guangwu Star Sea frequently borrowing the Immortal Coffin to fish Dao Yan objects likely drew some attention. Where the Immortal Coffin is, the Path-obliterating Calamity erupts even more fiercely. Remaining by our side is undoubtedly a hidden threat."

"I happened to display sufficient strength. Hence they directly schemed to throw this hot potato over."

Bearing the Dao pondered for a moment, then added: "I think not just because of frequent attempts. But because they fished up something extremely special. Only this could attract the Dao Yan Tide's siege."

"After all, if there really is something within the Dao Yan Tide, it would not know it was the Immortals of the Guangwu Star Sea who led all this. It remembered only the Giant Rat Immortal as the bait."

"Guangwu Star Sea probably did something within the Giant Rat Immortal. The fluctuations emitted the moment it died attracted the attention outside the Dao Yan Tide..."
