My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1649 - 1380: The Stele Derives Immortal Characters

In the previous lifetime, before Hai Zhen emerged, it was merely the fragments of stone flying out from the Wordless Monument itself. Li Fan would never have dared to risk his own life before Hai Zhen’s charging was complete.

But now, the Nameless True Immortal’s leg bone had already become Hai Zhen’s bound artifact.

Li Fan had personally witnessed how the leg bone, after entering Hai Zhen’s White Mist, lost all spirituality and became completely motionless. Li Fan was confident that Hai Zhen’s affiliated artifacts would never harm him.

He scrutinized the objects before him carefully.

If not for Hai Zhen’s prompting, Li Fan would never have guessed that this fist-sized round stone fragment would turn out to be the leg bone of some unknown, powerful existence.

"Unlike the complete South Immortal Sky Pillar, its surface yields no inspiration in my Spirit Consciousness. It seems to be nothing but an ordinary stone..."

Li Fan did not approach it directly but observed from a distance.

"The Nameless True Immortal is an existence beyond True Immortals, someone who has completely mastered a single path and achieved transcendence—beyond mortal comprehension and sight."

"Yet, this leg bone shows no traces of the Tao at all..."

"Could it be that the path mastered by this Nameless True Immortal was stripped away? That the immortal was slaughtered, and their entire skeleton was refined into pillars propping up the heavens?" Li Fan’s imagination ran wild.

Even in the face of an inconspicuous leg bone, however, Li Fan did not lower his guard.

Under the Ocean of Darkness, even the corpses of True Immortals could derive [Will to Survive]. Who could know what kind of eerie things might emerge from the remains of the Nameless True Immortal?

Nevertheless, the reason why Li Fan was so eager to retrieve and study it now was to verify a certain speculation in his mind.

In his previous life, when he threw the White Circle Luo Fanchen at the Wordless Monument, the monument revealed the characters [Innate].

Within Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness, every detail about the [Innate] character was magnified a thousandfold, perfectly displayed. free𝑤ebnovel.com

It must be noted that True Immortal Seal Characters are essentially manifestations of the Tao, and understanding them isn’t easy. Even a True Immortal from the Immortal Ruins would spend ages meditating to comprehend a single [Hungry] character.

As for peerless geniuses among mortals, like the Elders of the Immortal Boat through generations, they must rely on the collective wisdom of many lifetimes merely to replicate the original form of a True Immortal Seal Character.

Between True Immortal Seal Characters and mortal existence, there exists a natural barrier of Heavenly Retribution, preventing mortals from probing too deeply.

However, for someone like Li Fan, who is extraordinarily lucky, he had seen quite a few True Immortal Seal Characters. Yet most of them were copies crafted by that infamous "What Does Immortal" who once caused the Star Sea Catastrophe.

Originally, Li Fan thought his understanding of these seals had reached eight or nine parts of authenticity. But in the end of his previous life, the single stroke on the Wordless Monument inscribed with True Immortal Seal Characters abruptly awakened him.

The gap between what he’d mastered and the original form of the Law of Taoist was still immense!

"The True Immortal Seal Characters I know—out of them, the characters [Innate] and [Hungry] are the closest to the root. My understanding of [Innate] even surpasses [Hungry]! Because [Hungry] was something I observed from the outside of the Immortal Domain, whereas [Innate]..."

"...was directly projected into my Spirit Consciousness!"

An intense light flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

"The Wordless Monument seems like a machine of deconstruction, breaking down all things back to their primordial state and manifesting them through the True Immortal Seal Characters. And it seems that throwing artifacts into it provides extra benefits..."

"Isn’t this a perfect and natural Magic Treasure for learning True Immortal Seal Characters?" As this thought emerged, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a flare of excitement. Even though he prided himself on being calm and collected, he struggled to suppress it at this moment.

"A mere fragment of the Wordless Monument—this leg bone’s effectiveness at deriving True Immortal Seal Characters far surpasses the combined efforts of the Mystic Immortal Boat!"

"It holds immense potential for helping me master more True Immortal Seal Characters!"

Li Fan fixed his burning gaze on the leg bone in the distance, his mind racing with passion.

True Immortal Seal Characters aren’t just meaningful during mortal existences; their importance persists even after ascending to True Immortal status. To advance further, True Immortals must continue diving into their depths, selecting a fitting path to pursue the [Nameless] realm.

"Of course, the seals revealed on the Wordless Monument might not purely represent the primordial Law of Taoist itself."

"It feels more like..."

"...the Nameless True Immortal’s personal insights into all Tao within the Mortal World."

"Unless this Nameless True Immortal is the fabled [Inscription Dao Immortal]..."

Li Fan’s thoughts abruptly paused.

Upon carefully pondering the implications if this were true, he realized the ultimate truth remained far beyond his reach. Silently, he tucked all related notions deep within his heart.

"The perspective of the Nameless True Immortal naturally exceeds ours by a vast margin. The markings they crafted—even if not the Tao itself—almost reach its core. They shall serve as my teacher for a long period ahead."

"My ambitions are promising, but manifesting True Immortal Seal Characters on the Wordless Monument is no easy task. After all, this isn’t the physical presence of the Nameless True Immortal, merely a leg bone. It requires an abundance of material for the process..."

Li Fan meditated quietly, recalling the scenes he’d witnessed in his previous life.

"The White Circle Luo Fanchen is mysterious and unfathomable; it was not surprising when it independently manifested characters."

"The crucial moment involved the Hungry Immortal, who exerted the utmost effort to barely inscribe the [Hungry] character on the stele."

Li Fan frowned slightly: "Ordinary methods may sacrifice the entire Abyss Star Ocean and still fail to produce many effective characters."

"But it doesn’t matter. I’ve extracted this leg bone precisely to deal with those peculiar entities."
