My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1680 - 1395: Indeed Due to that Year Reason_2

Chapter 1680 -1395: Indeed Due to that Year Reason_2

There exists Hai Zhen, and in this world, to him, truly, there likely exists nothing that is irretrievably lost—unless that object holds a rank higher than Hai Zhen itself.

Evidently, merely achieving the transformation from Mortal to Immortal is far from sufficient to attain such qualifications.

“The true irretrievable loss resides within my own heart.”

“Hai Zhen can influence all things in the world, yet it cannot reverse the changes within me.”

As though realizing something, Li Fan’s gaze seemed to pierce through the night, gradually brightening.

“This loss, imbued with unknown qualities, might not hinder my stepping into the Realm of True Immortality. But as for the path beyond it, it could have profound repercussions!”

Amid long contemplation, a ray of sunlight emerged on the land, banishing the darkness. Li Fan finally came to a thorough understanding.

The root of the unease lingering within his heart became clear.

“Why is it this way?”

“Is it because of an excessive reliance on [Hai Zhen]?”

“Or is it something else entirely?”

“The path beyond the Realm of True Immortality feels far too distant for me. Moreover, by my reckoning, fully mastering and sacrificing some Tao, the Realm of Nameless True Immortality should suffice. It seems to bear no direct relation… ” Li Fan furrowed his brows, his heart filled with confusion.

“Yet aside from exhaustive probing, I seem to have no better choice.”

…

Li Fan stepped outside, gazing at the horizon where the morning sun was rising.

While deep in thought, he began walking away from the Da Xuan Minor World.

In the Xuanhuang Realm, he strolled onward.

The surrounding scenery shifted ceaselessly, leaping in rhythm. Li Fan reflected all of it into his Spirit Consciousness.

From the Sea of Cong Yun in the east, traversing westward.

As his thoughts churned without pause, the frequency of surrounding shifts appeared to accelerate.

Li Fan found himself in a state akin to an epiphany, immersed in deep meditation, without altering his external energy output.

The reason he “walked” increasingly faster.

Was precisely because of Li Fan’s special relationship with the Xuanhuang Celestial Way—akin to reborn parents with exceedingly high favorability.

Thus, without a reminder from Li Fan, the Xuanhuang Celestial Way seemed eager, taking initiative to alleviate Li Fan’s travel burden.

Even though the Xuanhuang Celestial Way remained ignorant of why Li Fan was wandering aimlessly in the realm.

It might have misunderstood, thinking Li Fan was preparing for transcendent ascension.

Li Fan was naturally aware of the fawning efforts of the Xuanhuang Celestial Way.

Yet he remained indifferent.

Previously, the Great Heavenly Sovereign Nameless traversed between heaven and earth to restore various wounds on the Xuanhuang Realm. In those times, the Xuanhuang Realm offered similar conveniences.

With one step, the distances of heaven and earth shifted proactively. It was as if large spans shrank into mere inches.

Now though, with anomalies across regions resolved, the Xuanhuang Realm had refrained from such proactive gestures for quite some time.

“What a damnable thing!” Witnessing the true face of the Xuanhuang Realm during simulated branches, Li Fan cursed inwardly.

“I have the Supreme Escape Technique within me; why would I need your rudimentary convenience?”

With a fleeting thought, the Wooden Sword Mirage emerged from its sheath, protecting Li Fan by his side.

He intended to fly away, escaping the entanglement of the Xuanhuang Celestial Way, capturing the last moments to calmly reflect.

Yet Li Fan’s actions abruptly froze.

He turned his gaze toward the Wooden Sword Mirage beside him.

In his Spirit Consciousness, he recalled the Xuanhuang Realm’s gestures of convenience.

A subtle expression gradually surfaced on Li Fan’s face.

“My Supreme Escape Technique is born of my comprehension of the force in Sword Dao’s unwavering forward momentum. The changes between true and false. And…”

“From the guidance of the King of Mystic Sky that resides within the memories of Divine Soul fragments belonging to Law King Ji Yuzhen of Mystic Sky Sect.”

“The core of the Golden Lock Across the Sky Great Array—the Horizon Close Array!”

“The Horizon Close Array is, in turn, something the King of Mystic Sky obtained from the Immortal World…”

Li Fan quickly revisited the sightings of those past days.

In a gentle tone, the King of Mystic Sky said to Ji Yuzhen: “The Golden Lock stretches across the heavens. Even if the target rests at the far end of the Star Sea, once locked, the chains can instantly reach and seize it. I told you before this—this effect is achieved because the array embeds [World’s End Within Reach]. It was originally engraved upon the Ascension Platform of the Immortal World. When I fled, I carried away the entire immortal array…”

Boom!

The King of Mystic Sky’s voice reverberated like heavenly thunder, piercing through the ages, shattering the Mist, and illuminating Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness.

“Wait! Could it be…”

Li Fan’s eyes flashed with brilliance.

He waved his hand, dissipating the Wooden Sword Mirage.

And resumed pacing slowly within the Xuanhuang Realm.

It was as expected—the Xuanhuang Celestial Way, attuned to Li Fan’s movements, began its fawning gestures anew.

Without Li Fan exerting any effort, it began acting on its own accord.

The surrounding scenery rapidly shifted again.

Li Fan closed his eyes, sensing the changes occurring in the Xuan Huang Heavenly Earth around him.

“This sensation…”

“Can’t be wrong!”

“It is indeed World’s End Within Reach!”

Li Fan’s figure abruptly halted.

His excitement grew uncontrollable.

His mind raced: “As part of the Floating Star Crossing Formation, the Golden Lock Across the Sky Array has been greatly damaged.”

“Yet this array consumes immense energy each time it is activated. The foresighted King of Mystic Sky had long prepared and replicated three backups in case of emergencies.”

“The Horizon Close Array is not the key. The true key lies in…”

Li Fan’s eyes released a gleaming light, sweeping across the Xuanhuang Heavenly Earth.

“The Ascension Platform! The engravings! Complete ones!”

Li Fan’s body began to tremble from excitement at the realization.

“The Ascension Platform must have been the location in the Immortal World where Lower Realm cultivators were received.”

“With the name tied to ascension, beyond the Horizon Close Array engravings, it surely contains other mixed forces within its carvings.”

“Back then, the King of Mystic Sky fled in panic, having just entered the Immortal World. There’s no way he could have separated out just the Horizon Close Array within a short time.”

“So it is highly possible that the three replicates left by the King of Mystic Sky were indeed the complete engravings from the platform itself!”

“Perhaps… this is the key!”

Though far from absolute certainty, Li Fan had no doubt found the most likely key to his breakthrough.

After so many years of experience, Li Fan had never dared to underestimate objects from the Immortal World.

“Now, the most crucial question is—where did the King of Mystic Sky hide those three backup replica engravings?”
