My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 1740: Chapter 1424 Repairing the Azure Abyss Pearl_2

Zhao Ruoxi’s lifetime cultivation of “The Art of Eternal Solitude” only transformed into four drops of green liquid.

Li Fan didn’t need to manipulate it much, relying on the mysterious connection with the Azure Abyss Pearl. Once the green liquid appeared, its energy slowly dissipated toward the nearby Azure Abyss Pearl.

The close to ten thousand years of arduous cultivation of an Immortal Sovereign finally allowed this celestial artifact to move away from the brink of destruction successfully!

Li Fan felt a surge of joy in his heart, his divine sense shadowing closely, soon wrapping the Azure Abyss Pearl tightly.

The surface of the Azure Abyss Pearl appeared like a vast azure sky, layers swirling, attempting to deter Li Fan’s probing.

This layer of protection might be effective against ordinary people; or rather, if the Azure Abyss Pearl was at its peak, perhaps it could block Li Fan.

But it had just escaped from a state of impending destruction and was barely half-alive. How could it stop Li Fan with his demi-immortal body?

His divine sense, like a needle, pierced through the azure sky, driving straight in, stabbing into the Azure Abyss Pearl’s interior.

Boom!

The scene in front of Li Fan shook tremendously, and the next moment, he seemed to have arrived in a strange realm.

Twelve solemn palaces stood amidst the clouds, surrounding and occupying the world’s sky dome.

In each palace, a statue was enshrined.

Endless cultivators rose from the ground, kneeling and praying.

And occasionally, the statue would reveal moving faces, seemingly communicating with the kneeling cultivators.

…

Shamanic Immortal Realm!

When the scene in his spirit consciousness dissipated, Li Fan understood what he had just witnessed.

That strand of divine sense had been forcibly expelled by the Azure Abyss Pearl.

Li Fan did not attempt to intrude again. With that brief encounter relying on the unique aura of the Azure Abyss Pearl, he was capable of using “transformation between reality and illusion” to recreate it in a short time!

But Li Fan did not try to leave.

He already had a premonition that using “transformation between reality and illusion” to create another Azure Abyss Pearl would undoubtedly bring a burden far greater than before. Preparations needed to be made in advance.

As the Azure Abyss Pearl could not move temporarily, Li Fan laid down tier upon tier of array techniques around it.

The light points representing immortal-level array techniques flickered continuously around him. Only then did Li Fan feel somewhat secure.

“False and True!”

Li Fan softly chanted in his heart, but the target for the divine technique was not the Azure Abyss Pearl, but himself!

His cultivation base, divine soul, and all forms of power surged comprehensively by onefold.

Li Fan glanced at the Azure Abyss Pearl but still felt it was insufficient.

After a slight breath, he once again used the divine technique of “False and True.”

The triple layered cultivation base could not be sustained for long.

Li Fan, only waiting for his body to adjust to the strength it bore, then focused intensely, locking onto the Azure Abyss Pearl.

Using that azure sky color as a reference, Li Fan recalled the glimpse of the Shamanic Immortal Realm.

Visualization, of another Azure Abyss Pearl in existence.

“False…”

“Also True!”

Li Fan felt he was far more strained than when recreating the Ancient Cangyuan Essence.

Probably because the Ancient Cangyuan Essence was merely a singular form of energy, while the Azure Abyss Pearl was a convergence of multiple laws.

Veins throbbed on his forehead, and in an instant, he felt as if his body had been drained, leaving him feeling extremely weak.

However, seeing the luster of the Azure Abyss Pearl seemed to become more vivid and animated.

Li Fan knew his attempt had succeeded.

The compounded cultivation of “False and True” dissipated slowly. The fatigue of the body and mind surged like a landslide.

But Li Fan only rested with eyes closed briefly before beginning the duplication of the Azure Abyss Pearl again.

Each time he manifested “transformation between reality and illusion,” his insights deepened a bit. But like those conjured out of thin air, with the passage of time, most of these insights would slowly fade. Only a very small portion would remain.

“Transformation between reality and illusion is ethereal and elusive yet foundational to my existence.”

“Relying solely on each reversion to reality aided by Endless Samsara insights is far from enough.”

A glimpse of determination flashed in Li Fan’s eyes, and seizing the lingering insight from the last manifestation of divine technique, he forced himself through the fatigue of both body and mind, to use the “False and True” method again.

Within the Wadi Dark River.

An indescribable mysterious aura descended and vanished repeatedly.

As time slowly passed, although Li Fan’s exterior showed no change, his aura became increasingly elusive.

Truly resembling a True Immortal of this world, ethereal and otherworldly!

After a stick of incense’s duration, Li Fan finally felt that his body and divine soul had reached their limit.

He sighed slightly, the tidal wave of fatigue inexorably enveloped him.

Ignoring the Azure Abyss Pearl, which had been repaired and nearly revitalized, Li Fan first closed his eyes and sat cross-legged for a good rest.

In his spirit consciousness, without thought or feeling, he seemed to have fallen into slumber.

Only vaguely did countless points of light seem to flicker incessantly, soon returning to darkness.

Repeating unceasingly.

When Li Fan reawakened, it was already three days later.

Through high-intensity and near-limit manifestations of “False and True” within a short time, Li Fan gained insights equivalent to what could be obtained from nearly five reversions to reality.

“This is because I attempted such continuous extreme attempts for the first time.”

“It awakened the insights forgotten in my previous uses of transformation between reality and illusion. The effect of the next such cultivation won’t be as good.”

“Nonetheless, it remains significant.”

With this attempt, Li Fan perceived that the insights gained from each reversion to reality concerning transformation between reality and illusion seemed different from those obtained through self-imitated manifestations.

Undoubtedly, the insights gained from the reversion to reality were more pure and closer to the truth.

Whereas those Li Fan attempted to comprehend himself, though weaker, were easier to control.

“There’s still a path from insight to practice.”

“Every reversion deepens my insight progress. But practical application still requires my direct effort.”

Li Fan’s heart silently birthed some understanding.

And right then, even Hai Zhen transmitted a hint of educational encouragement.

Li Fan pondered, still continuing an attempt to communicate with Hai Zhen.

The response was silence.

Li Fan shook his head slightly, temporarily putting the matter aside, looking toward the Azure Abyss Pearl nearby.

He stretched his hand to capture it.

Maybe due to Li Fan partially repairing it, he did not sense any resistance as the celestial artifact lightly fell into his hand.

“Although barely freed from a shattered state, its power severely declined.”

“After all, the vitality contained within was extracted and used to repair the Abyss Star Ocean.”

Li Fan glanced at the vitality force brimming in the Wadi Dark River, thinking.

Yet what Li Fan valued was not the vitality of the Azure Abyss Pearl but its reputedly miraculous functionality.

“The Azure Abyss Pearl can devour other celestial artifacts, transferring their functions into itself.”

“And it can also extract techniques cultivators had before they died.”

After Li Fan’s investigation, he found no presence of an artifact spirit within the Azure Abyss Pearl.

If not for Li Fan’s repairs, it would now be merely an empty shell with no functionality left.

But now…

“The functionality still works.”

Li Fan’s heart stirred, taking the Azure Abyss Pearl back to the Xuanhuang World.

To prevent the Famine Celestial of Xianxu from sensing, the hidden immortal arrays around did not disperse but turned into a layer of white mist.

Accentuating Li Fan’s remarkably ethereal celestial semblance.

“Devour celestial artifacts…”

Li Fan looked towards the secret room of the Sun Family underground, where the Immeasurable Mirror was located.

Stretching his hand forward, the Immeasurable Mirror broke through time and space, arriving at Li Fan’s palm.

“Who is that!”

Ignoring the startled exclamation of the Infinite Mirror Spirit Sun Luyao, Li Fan directly fed it to the Azure Abyss Pearl.
