My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1387 - 1277
```
This "Emperor Bunny," like the previous "Pursuit of Dao" giant, was part of the treasures hidden within the Mystic Commerce Immortal Vessel’s Hundred Hearings Immortal Record.
The hidden cache collected various materials, not only from the prime of Cultivating Immortality before the destruction of the Star Sea but also many exotic items gathered by the Mystic Immortal Vessel drifting through the Abyss Star Ocean over thousands of years.
Li Fan’s gaze imperceptibly drifted over the withering body of the Emperor Bunny, but his thoughts were floating towards the secrets of the Immortal Vessel.
If there was anything on this Immortal Vessel worth scheming for, it was probably this Hundred Hearings Immortal Record.
"Perhaps, there’s also the other half, the trace of the Merchant Immortal Boat."
Li Fan suddenly thought this.
As a part once of the Mystic Commerce Immortal Vessel, there was still occasional mutual awareness between the Mystic and Merchant parts despite having lost contact for a long time.
However, any information about the Merchant Immortal Boat was the highest secret of the Mystic Immortal Boat. Even within the Broken Immortal Tower Elders’ meeting, only the most core three were qualified to be privy to it.
Having lurked for more than a decade, Li Fan had only heard a sentence or two by chance while eavesdropping on an Elders’ gathering.
"I wonder what the situation with the Merchant Immortal Boat is like, to have its secrecy level even higher than that of the True Immortal Seal Characters..."
While Li Fan was lost in thought, he had reached the top of the Void God Tree, where the Broken Immortal Tower Elders’ council was located.
The first thing Li Fan did was naturally to position his "teacher."
Inside the Mystic Immortal Vessel, lineage and faction were of utmost importance.
Wang Hai had run errands and conveyed messages for him repeatedly, of course, because both Li Fan and Wang Hai studied under the same master of the Broken Immortal Tower’s three Elders, Ai Tianjue.
And the relationship between Ai Tianjue and Li Fan was even closer.
Because Ai Tianjue had also come from the Path Validation Academy.
However, in order to research new methods of entering the Dao, he had joined the Broken Immortal Tower after leaving the Academy, keeping out of sight and hardly known to anyone.
It wasn’t until there were results, and the Broken Immortal Tower reversed its fortunes to take control of the Immortal Vessel, that Ai Tianjue reappeared before the public eye.
"Greetings, Master." Li Fan’s expression remained unchanged as he performed a respectful salutation, then truthfully conveyed his insights about the World-Destroying Jade Scroll he had just received.
Students must report and submit any progress they made to their teacher.
This was naturally also a rule of the Immortal Vessel.
After listening to Li Fan’s account, Ai Tianjue nodded slightly: "I have also seen this Jade Scroll, and indeed, your talent is extraordinary; you have already grasped seven or eight parts of its essence."
Li Fan bowed respectfully again, thanking his teacher for the praise.
"But do not rely on it too much," Ai Tianjue’s tone suddenly shifted.
"You must understand that the Heart Demon is both a Tribulation and an opportunity. Although you can cut away the Heart Demon with mystique, they are endless and regenerate. Using the Immortal Heart Spell to pacify it will ultimately lead to a fall."
"It is better to turn it into nourishment for experience, which can be greatly beneficial to Cultivation..." Ai Tianjue spoke unhurriedly.
While lecturing Li Fan, he was also writing something on a piece of white paper.
Deserving of being one of the top few Strongmen of the Broken Immortal Tower, even a few words from him could inspire the current Li Fan.
Li Fan listened intently, his gaze not betraying any intention to pry into the content of Ai Tianjue’s writing.
After Ai Tianjue finished teaching, he did not stop his writing.
It wasn’t until a good half-day later that he finally put down his pen.
"Take a look at these characters, see how they are written." Ai Tianjue said to Li Fan.
The 𝘮ost uptodat𝑒 novels are pub𝙡ished on freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Only then did Li Fan look up.
What he saw on the white paper was a "complete" True Immortal Seal character.
That was Li Fan’s first reaction upon seeing it.
"Fall..."
As he continued to observe closely, a sense of regret rose in his heart: "What a pity."
"It’s not a complete True Immortal Seal character. It’s only restored to about eighty or ninety percent."
"Yet to comprehend this much from a chaotic mess is indeed extraordinary..."
Li Fan thought to himself that he certainly could not achieve this on his own.
```
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan shared his insight into the character "Fall": "This ’Fall’ does not pertain to the fall of the mind or spirit, but rather to the fundamental fall of all things and events, descending from a higher to a lower level."
"True Immortals turning into Cultivators, Cultivators turning into Mortals, and Mortals becoming dust..."
Li Fan spoke at length about his understanding of just that one character.
And yet it was still far from being complete.
When Li Fan had finished, Ai Tianjue first pointed out several fallacies in Li Fan’s words, then he sighed softly, "Interpreting the characters of a True Immortal is like watching horses galloping past mountains."
"This ’Fall’ character, the Immortal Boat restored six or seven parts out of ten a thousand years ago. A thousand years have passed, and the progress has increased only slightly."
"The closer one gets to the true essence of the Immortal Seal, the slower the progress becomes. And even the smallest discrepancy can make the might differ as vastly as heaven and earth when compared to the true True Immortal Seal characters."
"To see the path ahead but be unable to tread upon it, how difficult is the Immortal Way."
Li Fan found the lamentation of Ai Tianjue somewhat strange.
This did not seem like something his avid researcher of a teacher would say.
"Why such words, Teacher?" Li Fan didn’t hold back and immediately asked.
Ai Tianjue then revealed the origin of his thoughts.
"The one from Xuanhuang who reached Unity-Path, Lan Yu, practices the genuine Immortal Law."
"Heavenly Capital’s Feather Transformation Technique..."
"On that my heart dwells!"
Ai Tianjue sighed deeply again.
Upon hearing these words, Li Fan felt a tremendous stir within his heart.
He knew his teacher’s standards were extremely high, and since he said it was a real Immortal Law, it must be an undeniably Immortal-Level Technique, just like the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Spell.
But...
How could it be possible?
Lan Yu?
Wasn’t he cultivating the Heavenly Capital’s Feather Transformation Technique?
In an instant, Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with countless thoughts.
Yet his verbal response was quick, "If Lan Yu has fallen into the hands of our Immortal Boat, doesn’t that mean the Immortal Law is now effectively ours?"
"Where exactly does Teacher’s regret lie?"
He feigned confusion.
Ai Tianjue shook his head with a smile: "In the Xuanhuang World, there are laws that prohibit the simultaneous cultivation of certain techniques. Though our Immortal Boat is far removed from the Xuanhuang World, free from these restrictions, the Immortal Law Lan Yu practices also has its unique constraints."
"To cultivate the Heavenly Capital’s Feather Transformation Technique, one must have the ’Feather of Tribulation’ as a guide. Without this treasure, no matter how astonishing one’s talent, it is impossible to even begin."
Li Fan was slightly stunned.
"The Feather of Tribulation has merged with Lan Yu, beyond our ability to separate it."
"So even if the Immortal Law is right before us, it can only be observed, not cultivated!"
Ai Tianjue shook his head again: "This situation is just like the only recorded Immortal Law in the secret vault of our Mystic Commerce Immortal Vessel."

Soon Wu Xiao would return.
He feigned confusion.
Ai Tianjue shook his head with a smile: "In the Xuanhuang World, there are laws that prohibit the simultaneous cultivation of certain techniques. Though our Immortal Boat is far removed from the Xuanhuang World, free from these restrictions, the Immortal Law Lan Yu practices also has its unique constraints."
