My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1500 - 1311: A Sword Across the Star Sea
Chapter 1500: Chapter 1311: A Sword Across the Star Sea
It’s not really that the flow of time has experienced a change.
Rather, the Xuan Huang Heavenly Earth surrounding the Immeasurable Mirror has expanded its rate of transformation by countless times.
It’s as if an acceleration button was pressed; within a single breath, light and shadow flicker uncertainly, twinkling millions of times.
The ancient Immeasurable Mirror visibly ages and weathers.
You can even clearly see tiny gray particles, like dust, flying out from the Immeasurable Mirror, drifting with the wind and then dispersing into the air.
A Divine Fragment once almost completely concealed itself within the Immeasurable Mirror for an entire lifetime; it can be said that Li Fan understood the Immeasurable Mirror better than the original Artifact Spirit, Ling Sun Luyao. Thus, he could discern the changes occurring on the Immeasurable Mirror.
“This is the process of digestion by the Xuan Huang Heavenly Earth…”
Although the shell of the Immeasurable Mirror is gradually dissolving, the laws and powers derived within it linger undispersed. Clearly, the energy level of the immortal artifact is still above that of the present Xuan Huang World, hence the Xuan Huang World lacks the capacity to completely assimilate it.
Time continues to evolve at a speed millions of times faster. The ancient Immeasurable Mirror begins to decay, leaving only the mirror surface eroded.
Until in the end, it completely dissolves. Only a shadow remains, quietly floating in the air.
As if sensing the drifting divine laws of the immortal artifact, an inexplicable change descends upon the Xuan Huang World.
Although this change is almost intangible and formless, with Li Fan’s current strength and understanding of the Xuan Huang World, he can clearly see everything happening in front of him.
A transparent human figure approaches next to the phantom of the Immeasurable Mirror. The forces of time and the transformations of ages and seas seem to have no effect on it.
The transparent figure floats closer, gradually overlapping with the phantom as if swallowing the Immeasurable Mirror into its stomach.
Then, like ripples on water, the human figure slowly merges into the Xuan Huang Heavenly Earth, disappearing from Li Fan’s sight.
Throughout this process, the human figure never directly looked at Li Fan.
It’s as if taking away the divine laws of the Immeasurable Mirror was the only thing it cared about.
“Essence of Heaven and Earth, a type never seen before.”
“And unlike all other Essences of Heaven and Earth, cultivators who see it do not feel a greedy desire to devour it…”
Li Fan withdraws his World-Ending Transformation Divine Technique and looks into the distance.
He seems to see, at this very moment in a corner of the Xuan Huang World, that transparent human figure now dwelling within a newly born infant.
As the infant grows, a new Immeasurable Mirror is about to be born. However, it will no longer be an immortal instrument. Instead, it will be a Natural Treasure of the Xuan Huang World Heaven and Earth!
Normally, for the Xuan Huang World to complete an entire set of digestion and transformation steps, it would usually require thousands or even tens of thousands of years. But with the enhancement of Li Fan’s World-Ending Transformation, it only took less than half a day to complete this process.
Logically, helping the Xuan Huang World devour an immortal instrument should have increased some favorability. But after waiting for a while, Li Fan still did not perceive any increase in the goodwill of the Xuan Huang World.
After pondering for a moment, Li Fan realizes. The changes of time and seas, for the Xuan Huang World, is also a kind of “lifespan” consumption. In this way, the merits and demerits are balanced.
For this, Li Fan actually doesn’t mind. After all, the growth in strength of the Xuan Huang World is substantial. Every increment in the power of the Xuan Huang World will be reflected in the future Xuan Huang Immortal Spirit, and he will always be the ultimate beneficiary.
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Fan vaguely feels that with the divine laws of the Immeasurable Mirror merging into the Xuan Huang World. The change from nothingness to substance, a qualitative transformation, is also brewing.
“The path of derivation of the Immeasurable Mirror, currently non-existent in the Xuan Huang World. Once the Xuan Huang World devours and turns it into its own…”
“To foresee future Heavenly Dao, interesting.”
Inside the Xuan Huang World, there should be records of most past and present events. Abundant information enhances the accuracy of deriving the future, possibly even stronger than the peak period of the Immortal Instrument Immeasurable Mirror.
“This is the highest realm of derivation mentioned in Taiyan Sect’s [Nine Volumes of Taiyan], using heavenly calculations in place of human calculations.”
“Devouring an immortal instrument, for the Xuan Huang World, is not merely a power upgrade. It’s more about completing the laws. With each immortal instrument devoured, it steps closer to the true Immortal World.” Insights suddenly flood Li Fan’s mind.
…
Ten days later.
Great Xuan Discussing Dao Platform.
Yin Shangren, Hundred Flowers, Artisan, Xu Ke, are already here, waiting for Li Fan’s arrival.
The resolve to follow the Dao ultimately overcomes the fear of unknown risks.
“Last time we traveled to the Central Star Sea, it took nearly a month and a half. This time to the foot of the High Wall, who knows how long it will take,” Artisan somewhat lamented.

“Holy Master said, the frontier of the Starry Sea is even more dangerous. Perhaps several years back and forth would be normal,” Hundred Flowers frowned.
Yin Shangren smiled, “Think positively. Maybe we’ll encounter some catastrophe on the way and won’t be able to return at all.”
Artisan and Hundred Flowers were at a loss for words.
As they were discussing, Li Fan’s figure appeared on the Lecture Platform.
Instead of leading them out immediately, he sat solemnly on it and began to lecture.
This time, what Li Fan taught was the “Sword Dao.”
“In the world of swordsmanship, there are three levels.”
“On the lowest level, one holds a sturdy sword to forge one’s resolve, wielding a sharp tool to cultivate one’s body. Sharpening the heart with the sword, merging body and sword. Commanding the sword to slay enemies, integrating body and sword.”
“On the higher level, the sword in hand is the sword in heart; the sword in heart can become the sword in hand. Wherever the mind reaches, everything in heaven and earth can be a sword.”
