My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1729 - 1418
Chapter 1729 -1418
The meeting between the Tianxuan Mirror and the Celestial Dharma Bearer can be said to be a kind of inevitability.
Just like how, when Li Fan’s power swells to a certain extent, he is destined to meet with the Celestial Doctor and the Hungry Immortal.
Though its main power is not to resist enemies or harm others, it is still an Immortal Instrument transforming into the mundane. If only the Dharma Transmitter were present, Mirror Profound might still manage to contend with him. But he never anticipated the existence of a Celestial Doctor behind the Dharma Transmitter.
The two strongmen joined forces to subdue the Tianxuan Mirror.
This was undoubtedly not a pleasant memory for Mirror Profound.
After a blur of light and shadow, the Tianxuan Mirror transformed and became the founding cornerstone of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, a peerless treasure.
In the days when the Tianxuan Mirror measured the heavens and the earth, it was not without gains. As it delved deeper into the Xuanhuang World, the Tianxuan Mirror also evolved several abilities that it did not possess in the past.
Such as differentiation and secondary form.
Differentiation refers to the Tianxuan Fragmented Mirrors scattered across the various states of the Immortal Alliance, as well as the Small Tianxuan Mirrors that individuals can independently use. They all possess part of the functions of the Tianxuan Mirror and are identical to the main body of the Tianxuan Mirror. They can be seen as extensions of the Tianxuan Mirror itself.
Secondary form, as opposed to differentiation. If differentiation is replication, then secondary form is mutation. The various secondary bodies born from the Tianxuan Mirror, such as the Blue Mysterious Mirror, Final Stone Disc, and Dissociation Disc, though they appear to specialize in certain functionalities of the Tianxuan Mirror, only Mirror Profound knows that these secondary bodies have capabilities in their respective fields that even surpass his main body.
And during the process of evolving these secondary bodies, Mirror Profound can also advance his corresponding abilities through studying these secondary bodies. This research process is completed the moment the secondary bodies are created. Therefore, the current secondary bodies are indeed useless to the Tianxuan Mirror.
Apart from differentiation and secondary form, the most important insight of the Tianxuan Mirror is the “Establish Dao Within Oneself, Practice Dao Externally” on the Path to the Heavens.
Mirror Profound firmly believes that his ability to comprehend such a great path is not solely due to measuring the Xuanhuang World. It was also due to the secret guidance of a certain woman before she departed.
The so-called establishing Dao within oneself is continuously strengthening the part of one’s existence that depends on the Dao. The great Tao spans all things, and all things exist by the Dao. If one cannot pursue the elusive unity with the Dao, proving the Nameless Dao, then one might as well aim for a part of the Dao. The birth of every living being is a fusion of various paths. To thoroughly master the foundational existence of oneself, even if one’s strength is still weaker than the Nameless True Immortals, might not be far behind. Not to mention, there are certain individuals with extraordinary talents in this world, who by merely realizing their Dao, can be on par with Nameless True Immortals!
And practicing Dao externally is the transcendence after establishing Dao. Compared to the infinite great Dao of heaven and earth, one’s existence is ultimately limited. But if one can cross the boundary of “me” and “him,” like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, it might lead to infinity thereafter.
“Establish Dao Within Oneself, Practice Dao Externally” manifests in the Tianxuan Mirror as the artifact and human standing side by side, complementing each other. In the absence of obstacles, both the main body of the Tianxuan Mirror and its human avatar can embark on a path to the heavens. Moreover, once one side achieves some success, it can in turn nurture the other side.
…
Li Fan was not particularly interested in the gossip about the King of Mystic Sky and his childhood sweetheart.
Rather, the insights of the Tianxuan Mirror intrigued Li Fan with many thoughts.
“The Primordial Dao Form of the Demon Clan can be seen as the most extreme form of [Establish Dao Within Oneself].”
“And this concept is indeed similar to Building Foundation with Me, which also completely attributes to oneself. However, generally speaking, the difficulty of establishing Dao is far above foundation establishment.”
“And practicing Dao externally…”
Li Fan’s eyes slightly narrowed, and he couldn’t help but think of Ji Yuzhen’s cultivation of the “Immeasurable Heavenly Pivot Divinity Skill.”
This technique, cultivated to the extreme, uses the Primordial Soul as a medicinal lead to achieve a heaven-defying [fusion with the Dao] effect.
“The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth arises from Primordial. This might be the theoretical foundation where practicing Dao externally and fusion with the Dao is feasible.”
“Whether relying on oneself or external objects, they are essentially the same. To merge more [Dao] within oneself.”
…
Li Fan, like a hungry student, devoured the thousands of years’ worth of insights from the Tianxuan Mirror, which instantly became the nourishment for Li Fan’s future endeavors to prove the Dao.
Although currently in terms of strength or realm, it seems to provide no help to him, Li Fan had a premonition in his heart that when the Immortal Way is no longer possible, this method would certainly be greatly valuable.
“The childhood sweetheart of the King of Mystic Sky seems to have inherited his legacy. Not only is her cultivation speed astonishing, but in just a short time, she has gained insights that ordinary cultivators are hard-pressed to achieve. Truly, when one person attains the Dao, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!”
As Li Fan absorbed all the insights of the Tianxuan Mirror regarding establishing Dao and practicing Dao, he made rapid progress in replicating the Mirror Spirit of the Tianxuan Mirror.
Continuously devouring control over all functions of the Tianxuan Mirror, it’s believed that soon, the Artifact Spirit named Mirror Profound would become nothing more than a name.
Looking at the figure in front of him, becoming increasingly similar and lively, Mirror Profound’s face turned pale, surrendering his struggle.
This True Immortal who suddenly descended demonstrated such mystical methods that he simply could not comprehend!
Mirror Profound even felt that the power of this True Immortal might even surpass that of his creator!
At this point, Mirror Profound had resigned to his fate, with no longer a sliver of resistance in his thoughts.
And seeing Li Fan, with a wave of his hand, subdue the Tianxuan Mirror that the Celestial Dharma Bearer had not been able to completely suppress for thousands of years, both Emperor Tri-Moa and Law Transmitter Zhou remained silent, with their hearts filled with growing respect and awe.
