My Simulated Road to Immortality

Not only after [Real], the Void Energy Infusion progress directly jumped to 50%. Its charging speed also significantly increased.

It would likely take less than a year to complete the remaining 50% infusion.

Even more so...

"The charging limit has also doubled from 200% to 400%. This amount was only achievable after initially absorbing the Drooped Hand Puppet, but now it has become the norm for me. Moreover, [Real]'s defensive strength compared to the past is incomparable. It will no longer crumble like paper in front of a True Immortal as it did before."

"As expected, the strength [Real] can display is directly tied to my own power. The moment I stepped into the Immortal realm, the changes in [Real] followed suit. This, of course, is only what can be observed on the surface." Narrowing his eyes, Li Fan carefully contemplated this insight, nodding slightly in satisfaction.

The final section of the [Real] panel concerns anchor points and bound objects.

The three established anchor points: The first was the moment Li Fan initially entered this world. Bound to him since his transmigration, it marked the point of being a complete mortal.

The second anchor point was at the peak of Dissociative Mountain, tied to the Ocean Pearl, a Foundation Establishment Strange Object, during the Final Stage of Foundation Establishment.

The third anchor point was also established at the peak of Dissociative Mountain during the Final Stage of Foundation Establishment, but this time [Real] itself was the Foundation Establishment Strange Object.

"The display order of objects bound to [Real] on the panel has also changed subtly. It's no longer arranged by the binding sequence, but seems to be displayed based on rank or grade?" Li Fan stared thoughtfully at the bound object list, noting that the "Leg Bone" was now at the top of the list, while "Ten Thousand Souls Blood Essence" was at the bottom.

A moment later, Li Fan closed the panel. Without much hesitation, he placed the final empty anchor point at this current time.

[Real]'s fourth anchor point was thus established.

Location: The central Abyss Star Ocean.

Cultivation Base: Semi-Immortal!

"Stepping into the Semi-Immortal Realm marks the beginning of a new phase. The Immortal World has long since perished, and finding the path beyond the Semi-Immortal stage is no easy feat. For now, my strength won't increase significantly, and it seems the next cycles of reincarnation will all start from this anchor point."

"The main goal for this lifetime is to collect and consolidate all available resources within the high walls, then attempt exploration outside the walls."

"Law Transmission, Celestial Doctor, Grand Master, Hungry Immortal..."

"Heh." Li Fan chuckled coldly.

"And then there's Xuanhuang World and the Mystic Immortal Boat. These two places hold things I couldn't claim before due to lack of power. Now, I can seize them all in one go."

"After ascension to True Immortal, one's vision naturally broadens. Perhaps this lifetime, I'll uncover greater secrets from the Mystic Immortal Boat, including the true nature of Sun Piaomiao's relics."

Li Fan's expression became inscrutable as his gaze shifted to the far end of the Abyss Star Ocean, toward the location of the Mystic Immortal Boat. The Immortal aura around him, solidified at the pinnacle of the star sea, exuded dominance from above. What once seemed like an infinite Abyss Star Ocean now appeared to Li Fan as nothing more than a mere pond, easily encompassed with one glance.

"But I mustn't become too arrogant."

"Better to wait until [Real]'s charging is complete before taking action." After a long pause, Li Fan slowly withdrew his gaze, his thoughts settling in this decision.

"Anyway, the current charging speed of [Real] is incredibly fast."

With these thoughts, Li Fan didn't return to Xuanhuang World but instead stayed in the central star sea.

As he waited for [Real] to finish charging, Li Fan kept himself busy.

Using this spare time, he systematically reorganized and refined all the knowledge he'd accumulated through the years.

Especially the True Immortal Seal Characters.

During his mortal life and endless reincarnations, Li Fan thought he had studied these characters to their utmost limit. Even though they fell short of directly representing the Tao, he considered their disparity negligible.

But now, as he revisited them from the perspective of an Immortal.

He realized how utterly mistaken he had been!

Although the patterns appeared identical, the perspective from an Immortal realm was vastly different from that of a mortal.

Too many intricacies had been ignored or overlooked during his past mortal comprehension. Reflecting on the True Immortal Seal Characters he had once written, Li Fan couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.

"Utterly childish scribbles!"

"Speaking of that, the True Immortal Seal Characters crafted by the Faceless Immortal, which triggered the Abyss Star Ocean disaster... they don't seem aesthetically pleasing either. If I study for a bit longer, surpassing him shouldn't be difficult." Li Fan sneered.

"Based on what I now know, ranking the True Immortal Characters solely by their authenticity results in three tiers. The first tier includes those imitated by the Faceless Immortal, such as [Ancient], [Chaos], and the like. The second tier consists of genuine True Immortal Seal Characters left behind by the Immortals of the past, such as [Hunger] and [Return]. Both their aesthetic and practical values clearly surpass the works of the Faceless Immortal."

"As for the third tier, those closest to embodying the Tao itself—these are the characters revealed through the Nameless True Immortal's leg bone. Binding, Innate, and Shift Between Immortal and Mortal, among others..."

In his spirit consciousness, Li Fan called forth the memory of this greatest contributor to his Semi-Immortal ascension.

Even after ascending to the Immortal realm, he still found this character brimming with endless profundities.

Immersed in his study, Li Fan became deeply absorbed.

A year flew by in a flash.

Anchoring at the two-year mark, once [Real] completed its charging, Li Fan finally emerged from his secluded meditation. Despite a year's effort, it wasn't enough time to fully summarize and reorganize all he had learned.

Fortunately, Li Fan could multitask, advancing his understanding while fulfilling his objectives simultaneously.

Upon achieving Semi-Immortal, Li Fan's first priority was confronting old acquaintances: the Celestial Doctor and the Lawgiver.

Li Fan had already faintly locked onto their positions within the star sea.

As suspected, they diligently roamed the Ruined World The Wall at the foot of the high walls, scavenging resources for the revival of the Heavenly Law Realm.

Li Fan's eyes glinted as he stepped forward, crossing half the star sea in a single stride.

First, he arrived before the Celestial Doctor.

He ensured no awareness on the Celestial Doctor's part, and a silver light ring descended directly upon his head—a spell among the ninety-nine Immortal Formation Rings Li Fan had crafted using the Dissociation Disc!

Wandering across various residual realms in search of suitable materials, the Celestial Doctor suddenly felt a moment of disorientation.

When he regained his senses, the boundless, deathly silence of the Ruined World The Wall was inexplicably gone.

Replacing it was a world vibrant with life, strikingly familiar to him.

The Heavenly Law Realm!

The Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, the Heaven Law Pavilion, Heavenly Sword Valley...

Seeing the landscapes of the long-lost, often-dreamed-of homeland that he thought had perished, the Celestial Doctor froze in shock.

Standing on the earth, he reached out to touch the grass and trees, his clouded eyes filled with nostalgia and disbelief.

Yet, as befitting the Celestial Doctor, he quickly awoke from the beautiful illusion Li Fan had crafted for him. Or perhaps it was intentional on Li Fan's part to leave cracks in the facade.

After all, the Heavenly Law Realm presented to the Celestial Doctor was utterly empty!

Only the newly-born "world" itself existed...

Besides this, there was nothing else!

The Celestial Doctor's expression gradually hardened. Golden threads erupted from his body, attempting to uncover the truth behind the sudden appearance of this enigmatic illusion.

But to his horror, the golden threads that had worked flawlessly in the past dimmed and dissipated shortly after leaving his body.

The Celestial Doctor took a deep breath, suppressing the tremor within his heart. Slowly flying forward, he meticulously scoured the Heavenly Law Realm with caution.

But after an exhaustive search, he still found no flaws.

And moreover, apart from himself, there was no other living being.

After three more examinations, the Celestial Doctor finally confirmed the nature of his predicament.

The shock on his face could no longer be contained. His aura grew erratic despite attempts to regain composure.

Although the sight before him was his long-held dream, the Celestial Doctor understood that none of it was real.

It was merely an illusion meant to deceive and confine him.

He tried to escape the illusion.

But as time dragged on, all efforts proved futile.

Eyes fixed on the sky, the Celestial Doctor opened his mouth as if to speak.

But ultimately, no sound came out.

On his weathered face, there was no trace of resignation or despair. Instead, his gaze grew steely with determination.

This time, rather than wandering aimlessly, he stood at the center of the illusion.

Patiently and meticulously, he began to analyze the "world" around him.

Gradually, the Celestial Doctor immersed his mind in comprehending the essence of the illusionary realm.

At times, his brow furrowed; at others, understanding seemed to dawn.

Countless moments passed until a voice suddenly echoed beside his ear:

"Can you understand it?"

Its tone hovered between a question and an icy sneer.

It roared like thunder, jolting the Celestial Doctor awake.

A white-clad figure had inexplicably appeared beside him.

The slender young man bore a faint smile as he gazed at him.

He exuded no aura whatsoever, but his eyes, as boundless as the star sea, were utterly unfathomable.

Even as one of the ultimate Supreme cultivators that the star sea could accommodate, the Celestial Doctor felt an unprecedented sense of alarm upon the young man's arrival.

Suppressing the dread in his heart, the Celestial Doctor cupped his hands in respect, his tone even yet firm: "To answer Senior, I can understand one or two things."

The young man—Li Fan, the manifestation of his formation's phantom—smiled faintly: "Not bad. I hadn't expected this barren lower realm to produce someone of your caliber."

"Very commendable!" Li Fan clapped his hands in apparent appreciation.

"When I awoke, I found my retreat encircled by high walls. I initially planned to investigate, yet by chance, encountered you both…"

"This world was created by me for you. How is it? Does it suit your desires?"

In just a few sentences, the sheer amount of information was overwhelming.

The Celestial Doctor's thoughts raced, analyzing the enigmatic young man before him.

Of course, he didn't let the apparent youthfulness of Li Fan's outward appearance cloud his judgment of the man's power.

"To trap me silently, display that effortless pressure..."

"Lower realm, awoke."

"It can only be a True Immortal."

"Not the one enlightening himself in the Immortal Ruins."

"When did another True Immortal arise in this star sea?"

The Celestial Doctor's mind swirled with doubt and intrigue.
