My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1564 - 1343
Chapter 1564 -1343
“The lifesaving grace is beyond repayable. I will brave any danger!” Li Fan responded with clasped hands.
While speaking, Li Fan checked his attributes on the Hai Zhen panel.
The remaining lifespan had skyrocketed from ten years to over five hundred years.
This sufficiently demonstrates the formidable power of the [Equal Heaven Divine Art].
“After the divine art was applied, my lifespan should now be the same as those elders on the Immortal Boat.”
“Over five hundred years, not too much, but also not too little. The most important thing is…”
Li Fan carefully examined his current physical state.
Suddenly, his gaze slightly hardened: “This added lifespan, is it unstable?”
Before, his body was healthy and normal, so Li Fan was keenly aware of it; his body, which had its fate forcefully reversed and lifespan extended by the Balanced Heaven Divine Art, was aging at an abnormally fast rate. It was multiple times faster than normal. Sometimes, it even inexplicably jumped and decreased.

While Li Fan was observing, the suddenly changing age figures on the Hai Zhen panel also undoubtedly confirmed his suspicions.
Li Fan did not hide the change in his expression.
Therefore, Zhong Daogong also noticed the doubts in Li Fan’s mind: “Heavenly Dao is unpredictable, constantly changing. Change is eternal, equilibrium is temporary.”
“Upholding the balance under the heavens is indeed defying the Heavenly Dao. I suppose even the True Immortal Seal Characters inscribed by a real fairy might not maintain the state of [Equilibrium] forever. Let alone us? So you needn’t worry, falling from [Equilibrium] is indeed a normal phenomenon.”
“There are two methods to alleviate this. One is to seek the Ancient characters’ true inscriptions again. A brief return can slow down the speed of the fall.”
“Secondly, when your lifespan ends again, continue to apply the [Equal Heaven Divine Art]. In fact, this is what the Council of Elders on the Immortal Boat are currently doing.”
“Extending one’s lifespan with the lifespans of many. Everyone helps me, and I also help everyone,” Zhong Daogong said with a smile, looking around at the group of elders.
Li Fan suddenly understood, “In that case, I am relieved.”
Sighing, Li Fan remarked, “I finally understand why although there seem to be disagreements among the members of the Immortal Ship Elders Council, they can always ensure a unified direction in major matters.”
“This Equal Heaven Divine Art is truly mysterious! Even in the Da Qi era, it definitely ranks among the top Divine Techniques!”
Under Li Fan’s high praise, Zhong Daogong did not show any pride but instead flashed a bitter smile in his eyes: “It is a necessary action. Constrained by limited resources, the population of the Immortal Boat is always kept at a relatively low level. The speed of talent turnover is slow, and to survive in the Abyss Star Ocean, it is essential to maintain the number of council members.”
“Researching True Immortal Seal Characters is also fraught with dangers. A slight carelessness could lead to affliction by the Power of the True Immortal. Historically, there have been quite a few elders who perished because of this. But it concerns the lifeline of the Immortal Boat’s future, and it cannot be abandoned.”
“Thus, each elder is the most precious treasure of the Immortal Boat…”
Regarding Zhong Daogong’s explanation, Li Fan was noncommittal. He knew that on the Immortal Boat, there were secret techniques for Dao Dan that could refine and ingest talents, seizing all their talents for oneself.
“The number of geniuses that have emerged on the Immortal Boat over the years is probably not small. Unfortunately, becoming a new elder is definitely not something that can be achieved solely by talent. The elders of the Immortal Boat are somewhat similar to mortals of the Xuanhuang World. Neither too many nor too few. A delicate balance must be maintained.” Li Fan pondered inwardly but did not voice it out.
After the application of the Balanced Heaven Divine Art, the other elders’ attitudes toward him also subtly changed.
If previously Li Fan had merely won their approval through benefits and performance, now the elders truly felt a sense of identification from their hearts.
It was truly like “one family.”
Thus Li Fan inquired about the [Great Qi Project], which required living beings from Da Qi as sacrifices.
“Needing so many living beings to bear the backlash together, the target of the Equal Heaven Divine Art is actually…”
This time, Zhong Daogong and the others did not dodge or hide.
Instead, they directly revealed the mystery: “Our planned target is actually…”
“Star Sea Origin Consciousness!”
Hearing this, Li Fan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Thanks to the fellow Daoist who previously taught the [Taija Divine Art], we were able to glimpse that huge Star Sea Consciousness that is reviving.”
“Only by personally contacting it can one know the vast and mighty power of the Star Sea. It does not reduce a bit despite the desolation of the Star Sea, and still cannot be speculated by us mortal cultivators.”
“But…” all the elders of the Immortal Boat showed a mysterious expression at this moment.
Jian Dusheng waved his hand grandly, showing Li Fan a scene of deathly stillness from the Abyss Star Ocean.
And in the Central Star Sea, shining with a brilliance like diamonds, was the true essence of the Star Sea Origin.
“Star Sea Consciousness, just like the Heavenly Dao of the Cultivating Immortality World of old days, is indeed the same.”
“In the past, some cultivators achieved Unity of Heaven and Man, capable of partially controlling the world’s Heavenly Dao. Now, we together applying the Balanced Heaven Divine Art, might well jointly wield the power of the Star Sea!” Jian Dusheng said resolutely.
Zhong Daogong stroked his beard and laughed: “If we could balance the power of the Star Sea, even without the aid of True Immortal Seal Characters, crossing the High Wall would be just a matter of time!”
Li Fan frowned, lost in thought.
After a while, he slowly nodded: “Though the High Wall blocks the Abyss Star Ocean, that is for the beings within the Star Sea. If we harness the power of the Star Sea itself to raise waves reaching the sky, the droplets in those waves might well leap over the High Wall!”
“Exactly! Only by reaching the height of a True Immortal can one cross the High Wall. But the power of the Star Sea is not inferior to that of a True Immortal! In ancient times, the numerous phenomena shining in the Star Sea, even True Immortals had to avoid its edge temporarily. This shows the formidable power of the Star Sea. Even if affected by the Catastrophe of the Immortal World and plunged into destruction, life is not extinguished…”
