My Simulated Road to Immortality

"It must be some unknown True Immortal Seal Characters."

Li Fan frowned slightly.

...

His attempts to connect to the Infinite Sea were thwarted, so Li Fan decided to focus his attention on Scholar Zhu.

Direct inquiry was definitely not feasible. Besides exposing himself, it might attract the attention of the Sea of the Northern Stars Governing Council.

Li Fan's Divine Sense Incarnation continued to familiarize himself with the Celestial Spiritual Power's force while awaiting the right moment.

Soon, only seven days remained until the date for recruiting new members for the Immortal Hunt.

This time, the Governing Council announced that the number of cultivators to be recruited was surprisingly doubled compared to before. For a time, there was widespread discussion in the Sea of the Northern Stars, with people having mixed feelings.

Pleased with the increased probability of joining the Immortal Hunt.

Worried, because the Immortal Hunt was recruiting more members due to a previous disastrous outcome in the operation of capturing True Immortals. It was a last resort. Clearly, though joining the Immortal Hunt offered overwhelming power, the risks faced were far greater than imagined.

Nevertheless, becoming part of the Immortal Hunt was the lifelong pursuit of the young talents from various major forces in the Sea of the Northern Stars. Thus, many still responded.

In Ji Le City, Li Fan received a message from Scholar Zhu.

"Seven days from now, I will nominate you to participate in the selection as promised."

"However, as agreed beforehand, I need to test you first!"

Li Fan adjusted his clothing and stepped into the City Lord's Mansion.

He opened the door, but did not see Scholar Zhu.

Instead, he stepped into empty air, as if plummeting into the Endless Abyss.

Plummeting rapidly downward, surrounded by endless darkness.

In the pitch black, stars of light occasionally flashed. They seemed embedded in the Abyss cliffs.

Scholar Zhu's rumbling voice echoed in Li Fan's ear.

"The Immortal Hunt's assessment focuses on understanding the Dao Network."

"The points of light you see are Dao Network commands possibly involved in the assessment. Try to recreate them."

"This is the first checkpoint. If you can't even pass this..."

"Then you'll never get out!"

Scholar Zhu's sinister laughter echoed through the Abyss.

Li Fan ignored him, carefully observing the surrounding Dao Network command points.

Fast plummeting, the floating technique of flight had strangely failed here.

Each Dao Network command flashed briefly. Observing and recreating these commands in such a short time proved extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Li Fan had a micro Dao Network projection within his Divine Sense.

His Divine Sense acted as a curtain, reflecting all the swiftly passing points of light.

If his Dao Network projection had a corresponding command, it would spontaneously flash in response.

If it was beyond Li Fan's current understanding, he simply overlooked it.

No need for Li Fan's consciousness to discern and recreate. The micro Dao Network did that instead.

Both response speed and accuracy in recreating were significantly improved.

Li Fan sensed that with each successful recreation, it was as if suddenly tugged by a rope, slowing his descent by degrees.

And as each light point was recreated and permanently illuminated above the Endless Abyss.

Li Fan finally ceased falling.

The darkness gradually dissipated, leaving the Endless Abyss, Li Fan arrived on a desolate wilderness.

An opposite figure stood hovering.

Though he did not recognize the face, the aura was somewhat familiar to Li Fan.

It was Scholar Zhu!

Indeed, Scholar Zhu's voice rang out from the figure: "The second test, known as martial."

"Immortal Hunt, Immortal Hunt. Targeting the capture of True Immortals."

"Are you...capable?"

Before the words finished, Scholar Zhu pointed at Li Fan in the air.

"True Immortal, wielding the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth as a blade, controlling the Power of Infinity."

The boundless wilderness shockingly curled up like a sphere at Scholar Zhu's gesture.

Li Fan seemed trapped inside a jar, watching the earth rising around him, facing inevitable doom.

It's not just the ground, but all the laws of Heaven and Earth had transformed into oppressive forces. Reaching out from the cage, as if confronting the entire Heaven and Earth!

Li Fan's expression remained unchanged, without donning Immortal Skin.

Instead, countless arms appeared behind him in an instant.

Each arm was seemingly writing rapidly.

Whenever they completed writing, a light point shone in front of Li Fan.

Slowly, these points of light wove into a net.

Li Fan gently pressed his hands onto this net, like playing a zither, constantly plucking the strings.

With each movement, pieces of the surging wilderness vanished without a trace.

The sound of plucking was unceasing, the wilderness was instantly gnawed full of countless holes.

When it reached Li Fan, there was no threat!

Returning to the Dark Void, Li Fan and Scholar Zhu faced each other from afar.

Scholar Zhu stared at the micro Dao Network woven in front of Li Fan, with a contemplative expression.

"With the power of your current form, joining the Immortal Hunt is more than sufficient."

"However...I still wish to probe your depths!"

Scholar Zhu let out a cold laugh.

In the darkness, rolling clouds, accompanied by shocking thunder, arrive.

In an instant, Li Fan is heavily surrounded.

Li Fan squints his eyes, and in these black mists, he seems to see countless towering figures.

"These were all my servants once."

"Let me see what extent you can reach."

Scholar Zhu's figure suddenly disappears.

And then, hideous and terrifying creations surge forth from the black clouds like a tide.

They rush towards Li Fan.

Li Fan stands there as if petrified, not reacting for a long time.

Yet those immortal creations have no intention of holding back.

Just as they are about to confront Li Fan head-on.

"Disperse!"

Li Fan softly calls out.

All the creations, at that moment, freeze in place as if ice-sealed.

And then...

Like the rolling black clouds, they vanish into thin air!

Hidden behind the black clouds, Scholar Zhu reveals his true form.

He examines Li Fan, full of suspicion.

"I too had countless servants, Scholar Zhu, what do you think?"

Li Fan smiles faintly.

And as he speaks, from this void, countless dark clouds press down again.

Within the clouds, figures move.

They are none other than the innumerable immortal servants Li Fan dispersed with a word!

But now, they have a new master.

They rush towards Scholar Zhu, besieging him.

"Outrageous!"

Scholar Zhu is filled with rage.

-----------------

It quickly changed back.

When they reached Li Fan's side, there was no threat!

Back again in the dark void, Li Fan and Scholar Zhu face each other from afar.

Scholar Zhu stares at the miniature Dao Network woven before Li Fan, deep in thought.

"With the power of this body of yours, joining the Immortal Hunt is more than enough."

"However... I must still probe your depths!"

Scholar Zhu lets out a cold laugh.

In the darkness, rolling clouds, accompanied by shocking thunder, arrive.

In an instant, Li Fan is heavily surrounded.

Li Fan squints his eyes, and in these black mists, he seems to see countless towering figures.
