My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1662 - 1387: Xuan Huang’s Heart of Service
Chapter 1662 -1387: Xuan Huang’s Heart of Service
After musing for a while, Li Fan ultimately forced himself to suppress this thought.
There will come a day for that, but not now.
In this lifetime, the goal of merging the Heavenly Earth Immortal Soul within the Xuan Huang Heavenly Earth outweighs everything else.
“Aside from the Famine Celestial of Xianxu, I can even experiment on the Watcher or perhaps the Great Supreme Lord Xuan Huang. Theoretically speaking, since they hold Immortal titles within the Lingxian Realm, the restrictions they face should be even deeper.”
Li Fan was highly satisfied with his findings this time. Not only had he significantly remedied the shortcomings in his Immortal Array, but he had also acquired a True Immortal Seal Character that represented an edict from the Immortal World.
And yet, all this was merely the result of a casual glimpse into the secrets beyond the wall.
It’s truly difficult to imagine what the world outside the wall has become now.
“As for Jiao Xiuyuan’s identity…”
Jiao Xiuyuan is very likely a survivor from beyond the wall; this was something Li Fan had truly never considered before.
“When he was first thrown inside the wall, Jiao Xiuyuan must have been just born. In situations like this, one would be far away from their hometown, their family…”
“Something significant must have happened. The force represented by Qin Zhuang seemed to have discovered some clues years later and tracked him down.”
Li Fan’s expression became inexplicable.
“Why would they choose to entrust the life of a young bloodline to the inside of the wall, into the Xuanhuang World?”
“To them, is the Xuanhuang World a sanctuary free from conflict? Or is there a treasure hidden within this land that even the people from beyond the wall covet?”
“And more importantly, those outside the high wall seem to have some degree of ability to observe what’s happening inside. At the very least, they know that Xuanhuang World hasn’t been swallowed or destroyed by Xianxu yet. Otherwise, casting Jiao Xiuyuan into such chaos would be no different from sending him to his death.”
The substance contained within the spherical cocoon that surrounded the young Jiao Xiuyuan—even the slightest drop—could nourish a miraculous tree capable of escaping the influence of Immortal Arrays. It’s unimaginable how distinctively remarkable Jiao Xiuyuan himself would be after absorbing the majority of that substance. This was why Li Fan refrained from straightforwardly performing a Soul Search and instead opted to probe him through the illusion of the Immortal Array.
“However, Jiao Xiuyuan has lived in Xuanhuang World for so many years; calling him a native-born would not be an exaggeration. That unique ability of his seems to have sunken into dormancy…”
Li Fan’s Divine Sense swept over Jiao Xiuyuan, who remained lost in the All Beings Great Array of the Xuanhuang World. He gave up, for now, on the idea of helping the man awaken his latent potential.
Previously, when Jiao Xiuyuan nearly awakened, the aura he unintentionally exuded even made Li Fan feel a wave of unease.
This unease wasn’t the kind caused by being overwhelmed by suddenly surging strength.
Rather, it resembled the warning a Spiritual Sense gives upon detecting a dangerous signal.
“Since Jiao Xiuyuan originally comes from beyond the wall, perhaps in the future, when I attempt to explore the world outside the wall, I can consider having him lead the way.”
“His unique identity may stir up stormy vortices fierce enough to reveal more secrets to me.”
“Of course, in the end, a final decision will still depend on the information I extract from Qin Zhuang’s mind.”
“Heavenly Sword Sect…”
Recalling the sect, which had once been among the Ten Great Immortal Sects and had escaped using the Divine Soldier of the Sundered Realm, Li Fan’s heart suddenly stirred.
“Could it be that Jiao Xiuyuan’s bloodline originates from one of the forces that had once managed to flee Xuanhuang World during its historical turmoil?”
“Even if not, there’s certainly a deep connection to Xuanhuang World.”
“When the timeline is stretched long enough, those Immortal Sects that fled back then have likely developed to astonishing degrees. Who knows whether they still recognize these former relatives of Xuanhuang World…”
Thoughts surged endlessly, swirling without cease.
The more Li Fan learned about the world beyond the wall, the more impatient he became to venture beyond the high wall.
But first, he still needed to increase his power for self-preservation.
“It’s almost time.”
“After fifteen years of nurturing with gentle flame, it’s time to switch to martial flame!”
Li Fan’s gaze landed within the Xuanhuang World.
When most of Xuanhuang World’s living beings were trapped in the unparalleled Illusion Array, the land had been emptied as a result.
Without the interference of humans or cultivators, Xuanhuang World’s recovery and replenishment of Yuan Qi occurred at a pace a hundredfold, even a thousandfold faster than usual.
Especially with the constant deaths of cultivators caught within the Illusion Array.
After death, cultivators returned to the heavens, effectively becoming endless medicinal supplements. Though individually weak, the sheer numbers were staggering, a continuous and inexhaustible source. Moreover, the energy cultivators consume is originally part of the Power of Heaven and Earth itself, which Xuanhuang World absorbs without resistance.
The cultivators’ retribution, the reclaiming of resources from various Small Worlds, the infusion of life-force from subterranean dark rivers, and the nourishment of Star Sea Infinite Force.
The Xuanhuang World grew increasingly “solid” and “robust” at a pace visible to the naked eye.
“The foundations are already sufficiently fortified, much stronger than my preparations in my previous lifetime. They are more than enough to withstand the upcoming upheaval.”
A glimmer of light flickered in Li Fan’s eyes as dozens of figures suddenly flew out from the Illusion Array.
These figures were the Unity-Path cultivators of the Xuanhuang World.
Li Fan’s plan was fundamentally not much different from the one in his previous life.
When a colossal force capable of elevating the entire Xuanhuang World floods in, there would still be a need for some mediating agents as buffers.
And these Unity-Path cultivators were the perfect choice.
Strands of golden light flickered, and even those as powerful as Unity-Path cultivators stood no chance before Li Fan, falling into complete slumber.
Unconscious and trapped in illusionary dreams, they were manipulated by Li Fan like mere insects.
“The Immortal Domain that hasn’t opened in this lifetime—just relying on the remnants of Immortal Spirit Energy left by the Great Heavenly Sovereign Xuan Huang’s legacy would definitely be insufficient to support the transformation of Xuanhuang World.”
“Fortunately, I can now connect with the Star Sea and channel the infinite force of the Star Sea, sufficient to sustain the prolonged quantitative change phase before the critical transformational threshold occurs.”
