My Simulated Road to Immortality

Zhong Daogong didn't dispute Li Fan, and calmly said: "It's just that my skills aren't as good. The Mystic Immortal Boat always prioritizes survival over pointless conflicts. Besides, none of us have been able to develop the astonishing escape technique that you have."

Li Fan was at a loss for words.

"This Thousand-Eyes Barren God is also one of our last resort measures in the Mystic Immortal Boat. Although it can unleash Immortal Level power, it requires lengthy preliminary preparations. Moreover, afterwards, we must face the backlash from the Desolate God..."

"The reason we didn't let you meet with us temporarily is because you are part of the Jun Tian Ceremony and were not affected by the Thousand-Eyes Barren God. Like an anchor, you have slowed our transformation process," explained Zhong Daogong briefly to Li Fan.

"Your being apart from us actually helps in our recovery."

Li Fan nodded, acknowledging the explanation.

"Do you need any help? I remember Da Qi has a Daozun who once studied the transformations caused by True Immortal Power..."

Zhong Daogong paused, seeming to hesitate for a moment.

In the end, he declined Li Fan's goodwill: "Don't worry. Having dealt with the True Immortal Seal Characters for many years, we have quite a bit of experience."

Li Fan felt somewhat regretful: "Alright. I only came here risking great danger because I was worried about the safety of the Immortal Boat since the ceremony is being conducted in secret..."

"So far, the ceremony has encompassed thirty million people; if all goes well, we can increase that number by three to five times," Li Fan reported his accomplishments.

Finally, some delight appeared in Zhong Daogong's tone: "That's good, with this we'll be able to minimize the backlash from the Star Sea."

"It's just a minor hiccup, not too impactful. The big picture still matters most, make sure there are no faults in the ceremony. You better head back soon!"

In the midst of speaking, he unmistakably issued a dismissal order.

"It seems, after all, he's started to suspect me. Being in an extremely weak state, he dares not let me inside."

"But since the Jun Tian Ceremony still requires me to find offerings, he hasn't openly turned against me," Li Fan concluded.

Li Fan, understanding clearly, was about to bow and say farewell.

Boom!

A wave-like shock abruptly surged from the far-off High Wall.

Sweeping past too quickly, and needing to hide his abilities in front of the Immortal Boat, Li Fan pretended he hadn't reacted in time.

Carried by this impact, he was dragged thousands of miles across the Star Sea before finally stabilizing his form.

The Mystic Immortal Boat, in its concealed state, was directly revealed by this strange, ferocious shock.

Like a One-Leaf Flat Boat in a torrent of terrifying waves, it shook incessantly.

"What happened?"

Li Fan, somewhat disheveled, returned near the Immortal Boat, looking towards the High Wall from which the shock came, filled with astonishment and doubt.

The people from the Mystic Immortal Boat were also stunned and puzzled.

"Such strange phenomena have only occurred three times in our records..."

"And we have no clues about its origins."

"It's a pity, if we were not in a state of recovering from heavy injuries, we would definitely have investigated the source," they said.

Under this disturbance, other Elders from the Immortal Boat emerged.

All appeared breathless and somewhat weak.

Sensing the receding wave, Li Fan realized its potency greatly diminished as it spread through the Star Sea, seeming as though the residual True Immortal Remnant Force scattered throughout the sea was obstructing it.

"I'll go take a look!" Li Fan volunteered boldly, bowing towards the Immortal Boat.

"Don't worry, if I can't find the source, I'll immediately return!"

Without waiting for a reply from the people of the Immortal Boat, Li Fan rode the Wooden Sword Mirage towards the direction of the disturbance.

Speedily crossing the Ruined World The Wall and following the residual energy fluctuations in the Star Sea, he was about to reach the source.

However, Li Fan's expression suddenly turned solemn.

Because he shockingly discovered that this terrifying disturbance seemed to originate from a breach in the High Wall!

This discovery made Li Fan's heart skip a beat.

He accelerated his escape speed.

A few moments later, when Li Fan arrived at the breach in the High Wall, he found Morubin, who should have been comprehending the hidden secrets of the Wall, now with only half a head left, unconscious.

His own Wooden Sword and the Wudao Illusion, however, were still present.

It seemed they were not affected by the recent disturbance.

"No wonder I didn't notice..."

"What happened? Can the High Wall also strike back and injure people? Could it be that Morubin really comprehended something?"

Li Fan, with his thoughts whirling rapidly, examined further and found that Morubin was severely injured but hadn't perished, which somewhat eased his mind.

Just as he was about to reexamine the breach in the High Wall, his expression subtly changed.

Because he faintly sensed a familiar aura rapidly approaching this place!

"Celestial Doctor?!"

"Has he also sensed that disturbance and come here?"

After a moment's thought, Li Fan quickly made a decision.

There was no need to confront the Celestial Doctor directly now. If he realized Li Fan's covert plan to cultivate the Xuanhuang World, it would certainly add complications.

The Wooden Sword Mirage glittered, rapidly carrying away Morubin's half-head and leaving the scene.

"Strange, the Mystic Immortal Boat mentioned that they had observed this kind of inexplicable fluctuation several times before."

"If it's said that this fluctuation was caused by Morubin's understanding of the breach in the Wall, doesn't that mean that someone did this before?"

Linking this to the Celestial Doctor's rapid arrival, Li Fan gradually understood.

"The Celestial Doctor has also already discovered the breach in the High Wall?"

"And he's not only comprehended it, but gained from it multiple times?"

"He really is not to be underestimated. Even though I now have the Immortal Array, it's still so." Li Fan felt a profound resonance within himself.
