My Simulated Road to Immortality

It truly seems like the Ascension Platform of the past has reappeared, with a vast and sacred aura spreading out from this Octagonal Tower. The crowd watching was instantly shaken to the core, even without knowing what this Octagonal Tower actually was, instinctively focusing all their attention on it.

It felt as if there was an immense attraction, and everyone present couldn't take their eyes away.

Even the creator of the Octagonal Ascension Platform, Qian Ruochang himself, was momentarily stunned.

But after all, being able to obey orders to capture [Wu] Immortal, he quickly snapped out of the enchantment. He first connected this miniature Octagonal Tower to the Localized Dao Network that had continuously followed the crowd.

When the scene of the Octagonal Tower shifted from real to illusion, Qian Ruochang reached out and took out a blood-red orb.

The blood-red seemed to be sealed by some kind of force, consistently crashing against an invisible boundary, yet never able to break free. Li Fan could vaguely hear the furious roars emanating from within the blood-red orb.

Qian Ruochang remained unmoved, with the two fingers of his right hand forming a sword stance, stabbing into the blood-red orb.

Li Fan sensitively felt that the Localized Dao Network suddenly stirred up turbulent waves. The Localized Dao Network, being newly established, was not yet large in scale, with an unstable foundation. For a moment, it gave a sense of fragility and danger.

Clearly, Qian Ruochang's finger had mobilized not just his own power, but borrowed a large amount of force from the Dao Network.

"Do not be distracted, quickly help Qian Laoda stabilize the situation."

Li Fan was keen to see the technique through which Qian Ruochang could lure What Does Immortal, watching as the newly promoted Immortal Hunts were still absorbed in the allure of the Octagonal Ascension Platform, thus he reminded them.

The crowd awoke as if from a dream, reluctantly shifting their gaze away. Most people focused on the construction of the Localized Dao Network thereafter. Yet still, there was a small portion who would occasionally glance at the Ascension Platform, with desire flashing quickly in their eyes.

Coincidentally, those who were distracted were not the mediocre among them, but rather outstanding figures like Jin Changyue and Dao Yuan.

"It seems even when mortals are within the Dao Network, Feather Transformation to Ascend is inherently and fatally attractive to them," Li Fan understood in his heart.

With the help of everyone, the wavering Localized Dao Network gradually stabilized.

And Qian Ruochang's two fingers also withdrew safely from the blood-red orb. Though the tips of his fingers were completely dyed, turning into a glaring crimson.

It seemed they reached a critical step, and to prevent external interference, Qian Ruochang waved his hand and set up defensive measures around himself. Li Fan could feel that at this moment almost ninety-nine percent of the power of the Localized Dao Network was being utilized by Qian Ruochang.

"Bang! Bang!"

Among the crowd's cries of surprise, Qian Ruochang's brawny body was bursting open with flesh and blood, revealing grim white bones. This sudden pressure was beyond the limits.

Yet astonishingly for the newly promoted Immortal Hunts present, including Li Fan, Qian Ruochang's skeleton was not ordinary human bones, but rather emitted a brilliant rainbow light, lacking physical substance, as if composed entirely of countless Dao Strings!

With the Dao Network's force enhancing, the ethereal flesh quickly regenerated, concealing the Bone of Dao Strings.

Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, Qian Ruochang used the crimson at his fingertips as ink, his two fingers as a brush.

He wrote in the air above the Octagonal Ascension Platform.

The content he wrote seemed to be a type of secret writing. Even with the exposure of his Bone of Dao Strings, Qian Ruochang paid extraordinary attention to the symbols he inscribed.

He devoted the protective force of the surrounding Dao Network into a hazy curtain of mist, obstructing the crowd's view.

At this pivotal moment, there was no spectacle to watch, leaving newly promoted Immortal Hunts looking disappointed.

However...

The vast majority of the Localized Dao Network power was being used by Qian Ruochang for writing this symbol. This means of obstruction could fool this group of young Immortal Hunts and even surpass the vision of Li Fan's Divine Sense Incarnation.

Yet it couldn't fool the vast consciousness of the Wuyou Dreamscape here.

As if gazing from on high, penetrating the puzzle, seeing the events behind the veil clearly.

"This is..."

"Very similar to the characters of [The Change Between Immortal and Mortal], yet at several critical junctures, it diverges."

To be precise, the Dao Network's means of concealment are indeed extraordinary. Even with just a Localized Dao Network, it far surpassed the power of Dreamland Paradise crafted by Li Fan with XuanHuang Living Beings as the foundation.

But don't forget, Li Fan himself was one of the architects of this Localized Dao Network. He had gained a deep understanding of the network's structure, along with a miniature projection from Tao within his Divine Sense.

As he analyzed, naturally, it became much simpler than using brute force to break through.

Without startling the snake by hitting grass, Li Fan quietly observed.

When this mysterious symbol was completely written, a burst of intense radiance erupted upon the Octagonal Ascension Platform. Seven-colored auspicious clouds floated out, golden flowers swirling chaotically in the sky, celestial birds neighing in rhythm.

It was clearly the scene from ancient legends of a cultivator achieving Dao Ascension!

Before the spectacle faded, a breath incredibly familiar to Li Fan was birthed here.

True Immortal!

From the small Ascension Platform, only a palm-sized figure flew out of it.

Completely crimson, as if painted with gore by Qian Ruochang.

Although the figure was small, in Li Fan's eyes, it was indistinguishable from a True Immortal!

Not only because of its Immortal [Persona], it henceforth no longer shared the same rank as mortals.

But more so because this little figure was surrounded by the aura of Immortal Spirit Energy!

Li Fan's pupils contracted sharply.

The previously envisioned feat of connecting the Ascension Platform from the Immortal World to the Infinite Sea was being achieved by the power of the Sea of the Northern Stars, and even more fully than Li Fan had imagined!

Not merely in one aspect manifesting Immortal qualities.
