My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1269 - 1221: New Law of the Abyssal Sea

Although Zhao Wuji did not specify the exact method of depriving talent, judging by the fact that those so-called geniuses from the Fairy Boat Academy never reappeared in the public eye, their fate was probably not good.

What’s more, Zhao Xian had not encountered anything related to this in his own dreams.

This made him, who considered himself prescient, experience a moment of uncontrollable panic.

After all, he was no longer a mere naive youth.

Quickly, a cold energy surged from his heart, allowing Zhao Xian to calm down rapidly.

He thought urgently, "Admittedly, exposing my talent will attract the scrutiny of the Academy’s upper echelons. I might even lose my life. But crisis often coexists with opportunity."

"Now is not the past when the Academy could cover the sky with one hand. The Mystic Immortal Boat has undergone great changes. The Broken Immortal Tower and the Immortal Axis Institute are fiercely vying for control over the Fairy Boat. I believe even the Path Validation Academy would have to consider the impact of their conflict on the future of the Fairy Boat."

"Talent is just talent. As long as I can continue to survive, there will never be a shortage of geniuses."

Zhao Xian felt an unprecedented clarity in his thoughts. It was as though something ethereal was guiding him, separating the wheat from the chaff among the many chaotic clues, inferring the correct future.

"If I act timidly, the Fairy Boat will still face destruction in the end. Only by confronting the three great powers of the Fairy Boat and seeking life through death can I lead the Fairy Boat to find ways to survive."

With this thought, the fear in Zhao Xian’s eyes had completely vanished, his breath shifting from earlier disarray to a calm steadiness once again.

Zhao Wuji watched his disciple’s transformation in surprise, not understanding why.

Zhao Xian took a deep breath and responded solemnly, "Villains sacrifice themselves for gain, saints sacrifice themselves for the greater good. It is only through the grace of the Academy that I have received my fortune. If my talent is of use to the Academy, then take it! Why should I begrudge it?"

"On the other hand, if I would hide my talent while using the Academy’s resources for cultivation, would that not be ingratitude?"

These words, righteously delivered, put Zhao Wuji on high moral ground, and he found himself unable to refute them at all.

He looked at his young disciple as if seeing him for the first time.

Zhao Xian’s sincere and determined gaze even made Zhao Wuji feel somewhat ashamed.

The two faced each other in silence.

Ultimately, it was Zhao Wuji who admitted defeat.

"Enough. Since you have such a conviction, it seems that I am the petty one," Zhao Wuji sighed deeply and left, dispirited.

Zhao Xian watched his master’s retreating figure, a complex expression fleeting across his face, and then he disappeared.

"I must save the Fairy Boat," he thought steadfastly.

Neither master nor disciple realized the true reason behind Zhao Xian’s stubbornness.

It was not because Zhao Xian was of high moral character or had unshakeable faith.

It was purely because...

A split personality hidden within his Divine Sense was making mischief.

"Interesting, I didn’t expect the Path Validation Academy to actually have a way to possess others’ talents for themselves. Worthy of being the civilization that survived the Abyss Star Ocean, they indeed have their worthwhile points."

"Whether it’s the Path Validation Academy’s secrets or the Immortal Axis Institute and Broken Immortal Tower’s mastery over the True Immortal Seal Characters, all are of value to me. How could I possibly let Zhao Xian retreat? Besides, with me here, it won’t be so easy to harm him."

The news that Zhao Xian had broken through to Gold Core in a short time spread throughout the entire Academy after three days.

It had been too long since the Academy had seen such a genius; now it seemed an impending storm was brewing. Thus, with the help of certain interested parties, Zhao Xian’s name quickly spread outside the Academy, and the rumors became ever more exaggerated.

From barely breaking through to Gold Core, it changed to entering Gold Core directly, then to reaching completion in seven days.

Finally, it reached the exaggerated level of being a half-step Nascent Soul.

By this time, even if those in the know stood out to clarify, it was all in vain.

Outsiders would only take it as the Academy’s attempt to cover up an unparalleled genius.

Broken Immortal Tower, Immortal Axis Institute, all sent people to inquire about Zhao Xian’s background.

Within the Academy, there was a disagreement on how to deal with this cultivation genius who was rare to see in hundreds of years.

As the great tide surged, Zhao Xian became even more focused on eliminating all distractions.

He peacefully hid in the secret room specially arranged for him by the Academy, accelerating his cultivation as much as possible.

"Not having to worry about whether Spiritual Energy is abundant, this is amazing. Is this the real treatment for the direct disciples of the Academy?"

"Moreover, before the final decision on how to handle me comes out, I can enjoy most of the Academy’s resources for free."

Divine Sense strength skyrocketed, transforming into his own cultivation base.

After the realm was elevated, it nourished Divine Sense in return, continuing to grow it.

This formed a perfect cycle, bringing Zhao Xian’s cultivation speed to an inconceivably rapid level.

Especially since there were no bottlenecks or barriers at all.

Zhao Xian felt his heart was as stable as a rock.

No stray thoughts or heart demons could affect him in the slightest.

"I have never cultivated this fast even in my dreams. Could it be that I am truly a genius?"

"Was my prior slow progress in cultivation simply due to a lack of resources and not finding the right techniques?"

Zhao Xian couldn’t help but think this in his spirit consciousness.

At this moment, Li Fan’s incarnation, which had blocked all the heart demons for him, was somewhat overexerted.

Even with the Immortal Heart Spell’s blessing, the Broken Forbidden Heart Demon was not so easy to deal with.

The various extremely realistic hallucinations he experienced, although Li Fan could maintain self-awareness, also took a lot of effort each time he escaped. Especially since the process of combating the heart demons seemed to be recorded, making the next encounter with a heart demon even stronger.

After all, it was just an incarnation, and some wear and tear was indeed normal.

"One can imagine the difficulty of a cultivator’s advancement before the laws of the Abyss Star Ocean shattered."

"No wonder the New Method in the Xuanhuang World could take its place."

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly and inexplicably surged in Li Fan’s heart.

The Abyss Star Ocean could be seen as an enlarged version of the Xuanhuang World. Here, the upper limit of the laws was higher.

It was just that they were disrupted into chaos by the power of the True Immortal Seal Characters.

If the Law Transmission of the New Method worked in the Xuanhuang World, did that mean, under normal circumstances, one could also cultivate normally in this Star Sea?

"The required essentials would all have to be magnified to the level of the Star Sea..."

"Foundation Establishment Strange Object, Golden Core techniques, Nascent Soul Cave Heaven, and so on, are all manifestations of world laws. The Star Sea Law of the Abyss was shattered, filled with the power of True Immortal Seal Characters."

"Conversely, these True Immortal Seal Characters are the manifested power of the current Star Sea Laws of the Abyss."

A flash of inspiration passed through Li Fan’s spirit consciousness, as if he had caught some crucial clues.

"Broken Immortal Tower’s cultivation with True Immortal Seal Characters, perhaps its principle is the same as that of the New Method in the Xuanhuang World."
