My Simulated Road to Immortality

"But the Immortal Boat quietly transformed it into an armored keratin form..."

"It seems that within the second and third layers of the Immortal Boat's hidden chambers, there are still treasures!"

Li Fan snorted coldly in his heart, his Divine Sense ceaselessly scanning over the four chess pieces.

"Forged from the [World], perhaps they are chess pieces that have lost their value and turned to ashes."

"If the Celestial Doctor's Sky Mending Record is likened the world to a human body, then the being that crafted this set of chess pieces regards the world as a [Weapon]."

"Although humans and weapons are different, the underlying principles are fundamentally the same."

"The premise of transformation is the complete mastery of its basic mechanisms..."

Sensing the four created objects before him, Li Fan silently recited the Sky Mending Record.

Then, those pieces, after Li Fan's comprehension and transformation, morphed into a different chapter.

"However, by using the technique of copying from the gourd, the principles of the human body were converted into the laws of weapon forging."

"Although some of them were forcibly transformed and make no sense, the vast majority..."

"...are indeed effective!"

Li Fan's eyes gleamed slightly.

In his vision, the four objects sealed in space also underwent changes.

The Broken Sword, war chariots, and other concrete forms no longer existed.

In their place were lines of light, intersecting horizontal and vertical lines.

These lines, at their primordial state, all converge at a common starting point.

And beyond the lines, there are even more numerous and intricately complex dim lines.

"The starting point of the lines is the original gray chess piece form."

"And those dim lines represent other forms that the chess piece can switch to."

"So beautiful..."

Li Fan was almost entranced by the sight.

He had once directly faced the Principle of Heaven and Earth of the Xuanhuang World.

The horizontal and vertical lines that make up a myriad of different living beings and scenes, woven across Heaven and Earth. Originally, Li Fan thought the Principle of Heaven and Earth of the world was complex enough.

But when compared with what he now saw unfolding from these gray chess pieces...

"What makes up the Xuanhuang World is only a small part of it."

"The rest were forged by True Immortals with laws from beyond the world of the Immortal Realm!"

Li Fan's heart was inexplicably stirred.

"Observing these might allow me to faintly touch upon a corner of the former Immortal Realm!"

Li Fan closed his eyes, pretending to rest, but in reality, to mask the surging tides suddenly arising in his heart.

The Immortal Realm had been destroyed in the Path-obliterating Calamity for more than ten thousand years.

Everything about the once Immortal Realm has already become a thing of the past.

Even True Immortals of yesteryears have now become extremely rare beings, hunted by civilizations outside the High Wall.

But now, Li Fan has discovered fragments of the Immortal Realm, hidden and forged with special techniques.

Or to call them fragments might even be an exaggeration.

They are merely bits of higher Immortal Realm laws integrated during the processing and forging in the Lower Realm's Cultivation World.

However, for the descendants after ten thousand years when the path to immortality has been severed, this still has an extraordinarily significant meaning.

Especially for Li Fan.

"The laws contained in a single chess piece are too scarce."

"But what about a complete set of chess pieces?"

"Sun Piaomiao created the Medicine King Sect, and judging by his proficiency in medicine alone, his understanding of the world and the Heavenly Dao may not be inferior to the Celestial Doctor."

"I can sense the intricacies of these chess pieces, Sun Piaomiao had no reason not to; especially since he left secrets for his descendants in the form of travelogues using such a unique approach."

"If it's truly possible to reproduce fragments of the Immortal Realm through fusion..."

Li Fan's heart suddenly illuminated with a streak of Spirit Light.

"Could this be some kind of plan to preserve the seeds of legacy, in a sense?"

But it was just a fleeting thought before Li Fan naturally considered the use of these gray chess pieces.

"My Xuanhuang Sublimation Grand Plan is already quite complete."

"If I could add in some fragments from the former Immortal Realm... "

"Immortal Realm laws, like a Heavenly Pillar, strengthening the principles of the Xuanhuang World Heaven and Earth."

"The sublimation into a true Immortal Domain is within reach!"

Li Fan rapidly deduced the possibilities, his heart racing with the potential outcomes.

"Moreover, if the Immortal Boat really can collect all these gray chess pieces, they would probably lose their ambitious heart to cross the High Wall."

Li Fan has keen eyesight and naturally saw that what Zhong Daogong said earlier was merely to temporarily appease.

"However, this matter requires someone to act along with me."

After pondering, he already had a plan in mind.

Another day later, Li Fan pretended to have barely recovered.

He faintly sensed Yin Shangren and Bai Hua's location, then, controlling the Wooden Sword Mirage, he escaped into the sky.

It just so happened that the direction he was heading overlapped with the sensing area of one of the chess pieces.

Thus, he did not arouse the suspicion of the Elder of the Immortal Boat.

"Eh, this part of the Ruined World The Wall seems a bit different?" While escaping, Li Fan suddenly spoke with uncertainty.

As soon as these words were spoken, the three Elders of the Immortal Boat, who were secretly seeking Enlightenment, were startled awake.

They inspected carefully and then all shook their heads in confusion: "Could it be that Brother Li is overexerted and experiencing illusions?"

"We haven't felt anything abnormal, have we?"

Faced with the trio's confusion, Li Fan continued to look grave. However, he wasn't able to articulate any reason.

The three Elders of the Immortal Boat exchanged glances and also became tense.

Li Fan's baseless nervousness didn't seem feigned.

Sometimes, a cultivator's inexplicable alertness can be even more accurate than an active investigation. The several did not dare to be negligent, their spirits highly strung, guarding against any possible catastrophe.

However, perhaps it was indeed Li Fan's paranoia.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, nothing unusual had occurred.

The tense Elders finally began to relax slowly.

"It seems you were overthinking it, Brother Li!" Nangong Lie said with a laugh.

Li Fan sighed: "Perhaps so!"

He continued searching within the Ruined World The Wall.

Not long after calming down, Li Fan suddenly got startled again.

"Not right! Be careful!"

In the midst of shock and alarm, the aura of the Elders of the Immortal Boat surged turbulently, ready with the True Immortal Seal Characters.

However...

Looking around for a long time, there was still no sign of any incident occurring.

The three Elders gazed at Li Fan.

Li Fan, somewhat embarrassed, said: "I don't know what's wrong today, my heart keeps racing as if imminent disaster is upon us."

"You may not know, but I have always had extremely accurate spiritual premonition. It was precisely by relying on this keen spiritual sense that I have avoided numerous deadly tribulations in the past..."

Quickly reverting, sorry for the confusion.
