My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 1742: Chapter 1425

After Emperor Tri-Moa brought a few corpses, Li Fan used the Azure Abyss Pearl to devour them.

As the corpses vanished into the vast Azure Abyss, a few strands of unusual aura emerged from the treasure bead.

They were composed of countless tiny words, floating above the azure sky.

These corresponded exactly to the techniques practiced by these dead prisoners in life.

Even though their techniques had already been forcibly abolished, the Azure Abyss Pearl still revealed the techniques!

Upon further comparison, not a single detail was missed!

Li Fan reached out and summoned one of them.

“Nine Refined Wandering Spirit Technique…”

Li Fan absorbed these words into his body.

It was not just the technique itself.

Even the corpse’s understanding of the technique while alive, their insights during cultivation, also emerged in Li Fan’s mind!

“With the experience of their ‘former self,’ cultivation becomes so much faster!”

“The only pity is, there are only insights, no memories.”

Although Li Fan felt a bit regretful, he knew that being able to achieve this was undoubtedly a supreme treasure.

“Using corpses as teachers, the efficiency is far beyond ordinary guidance.”

“After all, corpses wouldn’t hide anything.”

But in the current Abyss Star Ocean, there are not many that Li Fan could learn from and emulate.

“I wonder if these can still come in handy.”

Thinking this, Li Fan tentatively poured all the fine ash powder left by Qin Zhuang, after he was silenced outside the high wall, into the Azure Abyss Pearl.

The powders were slowly devoured by the azure hue, and even after Qin Zhuang’s soul was scattered, he still contributed his light and heat.

Inside the Azure Abyss Pearl, it seemed as if a big wind blew.

Li Fan watched intently, afraid to miss any detail.

The Azure Abyss Pearl, after all, is a supreme treasure that could be valued by the King of Mystic Sky. Ordinary methods of destroying corpses and erasing traces seemed incapable of hiding from the Azure Abyss Pearl’s probing.

After some time of brewing, a peculiar hue of aura appeared within the boundless azure.

Extremely conspicuous.

It was a gradual shift from black to white, experiencing seemingly all colors of time.

Li Fan gathered this aura over.

“[Thirty Lectures on Daoist Origin Basics]…”

Sensing the name, Li Fan’s expression turned somewhat odd, but soon, he was immersed in Qin Zhuang’s cultivation and understanding of Dao Origin Symbols.

The experience is completely incomparable to using an Immortal Array to forcefully peek into memories.

Soul search and memory plunder, especially with remnants of numerous forbidden formations within Qin Zhuang’s divine soul, could not achieve an immersive experience.

It could only perceive what Qin Zhuang learned and how long he spent.

But using the Azure Abyss Pearl, all divine thoughts Qin Zhuang had built upon these Dao Origin Symbols burst forth anew in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.

As if Li Fan re-lived Qin Zhuang’s life in his identity!

When Li Fan’s consciousness cleared, he had mastered the [Thirty Lectures on Daoist Origin Basics].

Even synthesizing with his understanding, he was more proficient than Qin Zhuang, a member of the Immortal Hunting Organization.

This feeling of effortless gain truly makes one addicted. Li Fan couldn’t help but smack his lips.

“With this sharp treasure in hand, I can’t help but want to sweep outside the high wall immediately. Surely it could equal hundreds of years of my bitter cultivation.”

Li Fan’s eyes glimmered with a hint of danger.

But ultimately, he resolutely suppressed it.

Firstly, due to the risk.

More crucially, Li Fan was not yet sure whether obtaining insights using the Azure Abyss Pearl’s defying method had any side effects.

The changes in Li Fan’s divine soul could be somewhat refined through [Huanzhen], yet they persist.

Minor changes might be overlooked.

But if they accumulate, one or two rounds of Huanzhen can’t purify them, it’d become dangerous and not worth it.

“I should use a large number of test subjects for safety verification first.”

“Moreover, theoretically speaking, capturing the thoughts of corpses before their death should not be limited to techniques.”

“I wonder if there’s a way to restore all the memories and thoughts of a corpse before death?”

“If I could truly do so, creating a cultivator out of thin air, replicating an actual body would be achievable.”

Li Fan played with the Azure Abyss Pearl, which had returned to its original appearance, and his thoughts fluctuated in his mind.

…

The remaining four Immortal Sovereigns of the Five Elders Organization arrived on time.

Without alerting anyone else, they were personally received by Emperor Tri-Moa and Qiao Sidao, arriving in the Ruins One World where Dharma Transmitter Jiang resided.

Due to the blockade of the Heaven-Connecting Great Formation, they couldn’t feel Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s presence at the core of the array.

However, Li Fan intentionally released some of Dharma Transmitter Jiang’s insights and synchronized them to them.

Thus, upon entering this Small World, they were immersed in the mystical insights of “Dao as Me.”

Especially Zhao Ruoxi.

Eternally the Only One and Dao as Me, at their core, were essentially connected.

But Eternally the Only One achieves unity with the Dao through ceaseless devouring.

Whereas Dao as Me directly skips countless intermediate steps and reaches the endpoint: I am the Dao, the Dao is me.

Even after being harshly disciplined by Li Fan, undergoing a change in temperament, Zhao Ruoxi couldn’t help but feel a surge of imbalance and jealousy.

The same was true for the other three Immortal Sovereigns and even Emperor Tri-Moa and Qiao Sidao did not fare much better.

“I used to think that the [Taija Divine Art], used in the Immortal Alliance by seniors to inspire communication with the Star Sea, was already marvelous. But facing the great Dao directly, this is…” Qiao Sidao was shocked into silence, wordless for a long time.

[Dao as Me], when one felt like they were in conversation with the Dao, they gained many insights. But once out of this state and returning to reality, it seemed as if nothing had happened. No trace of understanding of the Dao remained.

When Li Fan withdrew his compassion-like gift, their expressions betrayed their inner disappointment.

“How do you feel?”

At this time, Li Fan appeared and asked.

They all straightened their expressions, showed respectful courtesy, and then began to speak, praises flowing out.

“I wish to integrate this enlightenment of the Dao into your Dreamland Paradise.”

After everyone finished, Li Fan spoke again lightly.

The words made everyone’s eyelids twitch.

Especially Wuyou.

After the initial uncontrollable joy, Wuyou felt immense fright flooding in.

Such a good fortune falling from the sky to himself…

Could it just be another method of this True Immortal’s torment?

Wuyou had learned many things from Zhao Ruoxi in recent days.

Just when Wuyou was unsure how to respond, Li Fan spoke again.

“In dreams, there is neither life nor death.”

“Cultivators fearlessly face death, making them perfect vanguards to explore beyond the high wall.”

“Yet there’s a downside; their strength is too weak, and their cultivation growth is too slow.”
