My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1691 - 1399 Dao Yin’s Temporary Pause

In the past, when Hai Zhen was activated, a layer of illusory mist would envelop the surroundings. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Everything in the world would lose its sense of reality.

When Li Fan’s consciousness awoke once more, he had already returned to his designated anchor point.

But now...

When Li Fan silently recited Hai Zhen in his heart, it was no longer a thick curtain of water appearing that concealed the surroundings.

The entire world entered a state of stillness with just one thought from Li Fan. However, instead of vibrant colors, it had turned into a monotonous black-and-white palette.

Li Fan had never observed the world from such a perspective. He stared blankly at the shattered Returning to Void Great Array and the remnants of wind seemingly frozen in mid-air.

Countless Heavenly Earth Immortal Souls surrounded him, their forms varied and unique.

In the farthest distance, a faintly visible emaciated figure descended upon Heaven and Earth—it was none other than the Enlightenment Starving Immortal of Ruins.

...

Everything before his eyes appeared indistinguishable from previous times with Hai Zhen. The only difference was that they had now fallen into a black-and-white state of stillness.

Li Fan carefully observed for a long time, then suddenly had an idea. His figure flickered and, to his astonishment, he moved within this motionless world!

It was undoubtedly an incredibly novel experience. Narrowing his eyes, Li Fan reached out tentatively to touch a nearby Heavenly Earth Immortal Soul.

Even in its black-and-white form, Li Fan instantly recognized it as an old acquaintance—Crimson Flame.

Compared to its Essence of Heaven and Earth phase, Crimson Flame’s facial expressions now bore an uncanny vitality, almost indistinguishable from a living person. Yet its eyes remained tightly shut, and the clothing it conjured on its body was tattered and worn, standing out awkwardly among the other Heavenly Earth Immortal Souls.

The moment Li Fan came into contact with the Heavenly Earth Immortal Soul, Crimson Flame’s figure abruptly sparkled, transforming into countless particles of light that dispersed with the wind.

Li Fan immediately sensed that the range of the stillness in this world drastically shrank by a large margin.

For now, he refrained from attending to distant matters. Narrowing his eyes, he savored the images that had just emerged within his spirit consciousness.

Aside from fragments of the purest Crimson Flame Principle, there were scattered fragments of memory.

These were past experiences of a Blind Cultivator who had attained prominence through the power of fire.

The might displayed in the memories of this Blind Cultivator made Li Fan shudder in awe.

In a boundless star domain of cold desolation, the Blind Cultivator sat in contemplation. Ages passed, during which specks of firelight slowly gathered around him.

The freezing star domain gradually became warm, then unbearably scorching, until the entire domain was consumed by invisible flames. Not even the cold remained; it became a void where emptiness reigned.

In the final moments of the image, the Blind Cultivator seemed to vanish within Heaven and Earth.

Now, Li Fan, having merged with the Heavenly Earth Immortal Soul in the Unity Realm, was technically at the power level of a Half Immortal despite only having reached the Unity Realm.

Thus, he could more profoundly comprehend the sheer might exhibited by the Blind Cultivator in those memories.

"The phenomena triggered merely by enlightenment are already so terrifying."

"True Immortal... absolutely True Immortal!"

Li Fan’s heart trembled with shock.

But soon, he realized something even more astounding.

"Wait, the scene I just witnessed..."

"True Immortal enlightenment, disappearing into Heaven and Earth."

"Could it be the moment this being achieved the Nameless True Immortal Realm?"

Li Fan’s inner self quaked once again, and his body couldn’t help but shiver slightly.

Thoughts raced through his mind, and within a few breaths, Li Fan vaguely deduced why all of this had unfolded.

"The Essence of Heaven and Earth is formed from fragments of history left behind by cultivators who once existed in Xuanhuang World’s laws."

"When Xuanhuang World advanced to the Immortal Domain, this characteristic was preserved. The Heavenly Earth Immortal Souls are manifestations of Xuanhuang Immortal Domain’s principle power transformed through deeper imprints within Heaven and Earth."

"Harmonizing with the Tao, even merging with the Tao itself—those who resonate most profoundly with various principles are naturally the Nameless True Immortals who once ’proved the Tao through the Tao’!"

"Upon entering the Nameless Realm, they disappeared into Heaven and Earth. The only impression Xuanhuang Immortal Domain can sense of them is their final moment of proving the Tao..."

Li Fan’s expression became solemn.

After proving the Tao, the Nameless True Immortal effectively became the Tao itself.

If his speculation was correct, then what he had just absorbed was the enlightenment realization of a Nameless True Immortal!

Even though he captured only the faintest trace among the countless light particles.

For Li Fan, now taking his first tentative step into the Immortal Realm, it was undeniably a great boon.

Savoring the thoughts and understanding that swirled within his spirit consciousness.

After a brief moment of excitement, Li Fan suddenly felt that something was amiss.

"Beyond True Immortal, proving the Tao through the Nameless. Each path to the Tao is different. The path of fire has already been claimed. What use is it to me?"

"Unless..."

"That Blind Nameless True Immortal is already dead."

The more Li Fan thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

He quickly glanced at the surrounding Heavenly Earth Immortal Souls. Souls like Crimson Flame, which had evolved into close humanoid cultivator forms, were exceedingly rare—only three examples existed.

"If I absorbed them, I should be able to similarly perceive the corresponding path and see the scenes from their ascensions as Nameless True Immortals."

Just as Li Fan was about to act, his expression suddenly changed.

In the span of his contemplation, the effective range of the black-and-white still world had once again sharply diminished.

It now only encompassed a spherical area with a radius of exactly nine zhang.

Within this sphere, no Heavenly Earth Immortal Souls were present.

An involuntary frustration surged in Li Fan’s heart: "It turns out that aside from absorbing objects within the still world, which accelerates the collapse of its effective range, lingering here too long also causes it..."
