My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1247 - 1199: The Sky is Incomplete, The Land is Flawed, The Sea

Drifting in the Star Sea for ten thousand years, even without any civilization disruptions, the cultivation theory of the Mystic Immortal Boat had not made any progress whatsoever.

All realms that he saw were utterly destroyed, with only various destructive remnants of True Immortal Seal Characters echoing through the Star Sea. As the saying goes, "rely on the mountain to eat, rely on the water to drink," the Mystic Immortal Boat thus placed its future entirely in the study of this mighty force. As for other aspects...

Compared to the Xuanhuang World that had been through countless tribulations, it was far weaker.

At the very least, despite the extreme environment where incompatible cultivation was the norm, the myriad mystiques born out of the Xuanhuang World were seen as utterly astonishing to the cultivators of the Mystic Immortal Boat.

With a cultivation technique repository from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals as the foundation, Li Fan’s split spirit quickly found the most suitable cultivation method for Zhao Xian. Of course, in Zhao Xian’s own view, this was part of a vast array of cultivation methods extrapolated by the Yan Fajue in the future Path Validation Academy.

"Soul God Harmony Skill. A divine skill suitable for cultivators even when resources are extremely scarce. It can achieve perfect harmony between Divine Sense and Spiritual Power, allowing the transfer from the stronger aspect to fortify the weaker one."

"Within the Academy, the supply of Spiritual Power is truly limited. For me to advance to Gold Core is already the limit. It’s utterly impossible to progress further upwards. Yet I can stimulate the increase of Spiritual Power through a Secret Technique that grows Divine Sense..."

"In the Academy’s exchange catalog, the value of the items needed to cast Secret Techniques are far less than that of Spirit Stones."

Zhao Xian, frustrated by reaching a bottleneck, suddenly had a moment of inspiration and recalled even more from that strange dream of the future. In his excitement, he spent all the contribution points he had accumulated over the years to exchange for the materials needed to refine his Divine Sense.

Black God Gel, Red Ancient Paste, Mind Nourishing Amber...

These ordinary treasures from the Immortal Boat, used for focusing and calming the mind, were melted into a shiny liquid by the flames wielded by Zhao Xian. Then, like a whale sucking in water, they continuously entered his Sea of Consciousness.

The scalding heatwave almost instantly tried to burn Zhao Xian’s Divine Sense to nothing.

After a momentary blankness in consciousness, Zhao Xian found himself adapting to the searing heat. At the same time, the strength of his Divine Sense began to visibly improve.

"Truly a supreme mystique!" praised Zhao Xian in his heart.

However, what Zhao Xian did not know was that it was all thanks to Li Fan’s split spirit that his weak Divine Sense from the Final Stage of Energy Refining was preserved amidst such intense refining.

Even most of the efficacy of the treasures turned into paste had been absorbed and refined by Li Fan’s split spirit. After all, with just the cultivation base of the Final Stage of Energy Refining, Zhao Xian benefited greatly from only a trace of it, which was sufficient to steadily improve his Divine Sense.

When Zhao Xian emerged from his cultivation, he felt that his Divine Sense had nearly quadrupled in strength compared to before. He had reached the standard of the Mid Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Compared to this "enormous" Divine Sense strength, his cultivation level in Spiritual Power seemed rather feeble.

He felt almost as if a giant were wielding a toy’s body.

Zhao Xian suppressed the wild joy in his heart and quickly started to run the Soul God Harmony Skill. In his Sea of Consciousness, an invisible grinding wheel seemed to suddenly appear, crushing the Divine Sense force into refined strength, nourishing Zhao Xian’s physique.

Without absorbing any Spiritual Energy, Zhao Xian’s cultivation base also rose at a frightening speed.

In the end, three days passed, and Zhao Xian’s Divine Sense and Spiritual Power balanced out at the Early Phase of Foundation Establishment.

"Have I succeeded in Foundation Establishment just like that?"

Zhao Xian looked at his own hands in disbelief as he came back to his senses.

"This breakthrough was way too easy; I didn’t experience any of the Heart Demons or bottlenecks that Master and the seniors in the Academy talked about."

"After Foundation Establishment, my privileges in the Academy have risen a great deal. I can exchange for more resources. My cultivation is likely to progress even faster than before..."

After all, he was just a young man, fantasizing about the future; Zhao Xian could hardly contain his excitement.

Ultimately, it was the vision of the Immortal Boat’s demise, from his future dream, that brought him back to reality.

"The journey ahead is long; I still have a great distance to cover. I cannot afford to be arrogant."

Zhao Xian was contemplating how to make better use of his "foreknowledge" advantage to rapidly rise in status.

However, Li Fan’s Split was savoring the scene of Zhao Xian’s breakthrough moments before.

Zhao Xian did not truly encounter any impediments in his breakthrough; rather, they were blocked by Li Fan.

"That force, appearing out of nowhere, aiming straight for the heart."

"It wasn’t the True Immortal Seal Characters. It was the Dao of Star Sea..."

At this moment, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan, outside of the Mystic Immortal Boat, suddenly had a feeling.

Having direct contact with this space filled with the breath of deathly silence, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan realized, while crossing The Darkest Starry Sky, that this Abyss Star Ocean actually shared a set of foundational Taoist principles with the Xuanhuang World. It even had a slightly higher limit.

His Sword Dao, which had already reached its limit in the Xuanhuang World, had, unknowingly during his journey through the Star Sea, broken through its original bottleneck and reached new heights.

And the bottleneck represented by [Catastrophe of the Heavens] in the Xuanhuang World took on another form of existence in this Sea of Obscured Stars.

"Advising others to return to the Tao, with all thoughts turning to ash. It was just the breakthrough of a Perfect Energy Cultivator, yet it possessed such power. If it weren’t for my many experiences and an extraordinary fortitude..."

"I would probably need to resort to the Immortal Heart Spell to resolve it," the Sacred Embryo Li Fan murmured, feeling chilled.

In the midst of those invisible fluctuating illusions, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan seemed to see the scene where, despite succeeding in his breakthrough and enduring countless hardships, he ultimately died due to various tribulations.

No matter how hard one tried, they could not escape the outcome of failure.

"Perhaps it is better to return to the Tao, to return to the Tao..."

The persistent thoughts were like demon sounds, echoing in the sea of consciousness, persuading him to give up cultivation.

"The Heavenly Dao of this Abyss Star Ocean is quite interesting. It bears some resemblance to the ancient Heart Demons recorded in the Xuanhuang World’s scriptures."

"Through a glimpse, it appears that although this Star Sea has been devastated by the force of True Immortal Seal Characters, its basic underlying operations are still intact."

The Sacred Embryo Li Fan continued to ponder, his vision suddenly expanded, as if he saw a broader universe, enveloping the world beyond Xuan Huang.

Even though this world was already flawed and incomplete, it brought new perspectives to Li Fan’s understanding of the world’s principles.

He revisited the content of the Celestial Doctor’s [Sky Mending Record].

"If the situation of the Xuanhuang World is like a disease in its terminal stage, turned into a stitched-together monster by borrowing the dead’s body for resurrection, then this Abyss Star Ocean is as if it had long died, its body mostly pulverized by colossal force, with only some remnants and fragments left..."

"The Xuanhuang World might still be salvageable, but this Abyss Star Ocean is beyond saving."

"Of course, that is viewed through the perspective of the Celestial Doctor at the time of writing the [Sky Mending Record]."
