My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 806 - 769 Even True is Unwilling

“This feeling?” Xu Bai couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

He had created a clone in each lifetime, and had long since grown accustomed to dividing his consciousness in two.

But at this moment, as he created this other entity, almost equivalent to a third clone in the form of a Sacred Embryo, Xu Bai felt a sensation that was completely different from before.

The Mysterious True Spirit Transformation was based on the [Day Stealing and Sun Replacement Decision] as a fundamental blueprint, further derived from it.

It could be said to be the most orthodox clone technique in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Both the original body and the clone were under the complete control of one’s own consciousness.

...

In contrast, this [Sacred Blood Reincarnation].

Before the Sacred Embryo was separated from the mother’s body, it indeed felt like a part of one’s own body, entirely controllable at will.

But since it detached from his back, there seemed to be some kind of profound change.

Indeed, another consciousness had emerged within the Sacred Embryo.

Indeed, he still had complete control over the Sacred Embryo.

But…

Something felt off.

The Sacred Embryo turned around, locking eyes with Xu Bai.

It was as if there was a mirror between them, except one was clothed and the other was stark naked.

Judging from their appearance, there was no difference between the two.

But after a long gaze, Xu Bai always felt a dissonance between them.

Suddenly, he recalled a scene from a horror movie he had seen before his transmigration.

Late at night, in the bathroom.

He, having just finished washing up, caught a glimpse of another self in the mirror.

However, he was terrified to discover that the reflection was smiling at him with a strange expression.

The thought was fleeting.

In reality, there was no incident of the Sacred Embryo losing control and smiling at him in an inexplicable manner.

But looking at the Sacred Embryo before him, an idea suddenly surged in Xu Bai’s spirit consciousness.

If his real self, Li Fan, were to perish, then without a doubt, his clone, Xu Bai, would also die.

But what about the Sacred Embryo?

Would it also perish?

The purpose of [Sacred Blood Reincarnation] was to ensure the undying legacy of the Imperial Royal Family.

So the answer was clear. It wouldn’t.

“This is the fundamental difference between a Sacred Embryo and a clone,” realized Xu Bai.

“What Little Green said, about being almost no different from a clone…”

“Is just that. Almost.”

As he had this epiphany, far away in Tianquan Province, his original self, Li Fan, who was in seclusion comprehending the [Technique of Endless Duality], suddenly ceased his actions.

Reflecting on the course of the clone’s journey through the Empire, a mysterious expression appeared on his face.

“Interesting. It seems I’ve indeed been influenced in some way.”

Looking back from the perspective of the original, Xu Bai’s choices seemed a bit too hasty.

Of course, they were still decisions made by Li Fan.

But being in different situations and environments, even the same person can make completely opposite choices.

This was exactly what had happened to Xu Bai.

If the original had personally experienced this, facing the choice between Red String and [Sacred Blood Reincarnation], he would have definitely studied the Red String first.

Instead of proceeding with the Sacred Embryo first.

Although he indeed had plans to use the Sacred Blood Reincarnation to create another clone,

He would not have been so urgent.

But would have been extra cautious.

Li Fan, who had thought through everything in an instant, still felt no sense of crisis.

But he did feel slightly uneasy.

After weighing for a long time, the thought to [Even True] involuntarily arose in his mind.

“Should I virtualize the current scene and return to the initial anchor point?”

The surrounding scene gradually turned intangible, faced with the prompt of Even True.

However, Li Fan hesitated.

He thought of the hard-earned, yet to be fully deciphered [Art of the Boundless Spiritual Abyss].

He thought of the Dissociation Disc that had not yet been integrated and unified.

He thought that he still had not found a way to completely shield the awareness of the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror using the Final Stone Disc.

He thought that he had not yet controlled the Medicine King True Cauldron and rushed out of the Xuanhuang World to explore the Immortal Ruins.

He thought…

If he were to leave, he truly couldn’t bear to.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Fan became like a statue, completely motionless.

Intense mental struggles raged within his Spirit Consciousness, causing Li Fan’s body to tremble uncontrollably.

“Do you want to virtualize the current scene and return to the original anchor point?”

The prompt from [Real] came again.

Li Fan’s face showed a changeable expression.

In the end, however, he chose no.

In a moment, the originally virtualized scene became real again.

Li Fan, having made this choice, seemed as though he had experienced a fierce battle in an instant.

He nearly collapsed on the ground, powerless and soaked in sweat.

However, his body’s instincts made Li Fan dissatisfied with the decision he had made.

Not resting for long and barely catching a breath,

Li Fan reopened [Real]’s panel once more.

“Do you want to virtualize the current scene and return to the original anchor point?”

The prompt from [Real] was still as reliable as ever.

But to Li Fan’s ears, it no longer sounded as pleasant.

Everyone is driven by desire in whatever they do.

And at this moment, Li Fan, who had opened [Real]’s panel for the second time, had a weaker desire for [Real] than before…

It had diminished by a few degrees.

Mixed feelings of hesitation, concern, and unwillingness to part overwhelmed him.

This time, he struggled even less.

In the end, Li Fan still closed [Real]’s panel.

Sigh…

As if in an instant, he had lost all his strength.

Li Fan simply sat down on the ground, gasping for air heavily.

Time passed, and, barely able to support his body with his hands, a wave of indescribable emotions flickered across Li Fan’s eyes.

He began his third attempt.

The outcome was obvious.

This time, he made his decision even more quickly.

After just a few breaths, he closed [Real]’s panel once more.

“Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra…”

The fourth time, Li Fan silently began practicing this supreme Immortal Law that had saved him from danger time and again.

But the bearer of the Immortal Heart Spell, the moment he opened [Real]’s panel,

Did not even wait for the many ties and distractions to interfere before he exited on his own.

Immortal Heart Spell, formed against the heart of the Dao of Cultivators.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Now, Li Fan desired [Real] to avoid disaster.

As the Immortal Heart Spell operated, the thought of [Real] immediately became nourishment for the burgeoning Spirit Consciousness.

Li Fan, who had failed again, stood in the secret room, silent for a long time.

This time, Li Fan did not struggle.

Instead, he closed his eyes and began to reflect calmly.

At this moment, since crossing into this world, Li Fan faced the most dangerous situation ever.

Because he had laid out his plans in this world for so long, harvest time had yet to come, giving rise to many feelings of “reluctance.”

Under the influence of some force, these emotions were amplified to the extreme.

Making him voluntarily and unwilling to become [Real].

Even now, Li Fan still felt there was nothing wrong with himself.

It was just a bit too greedy perhaps.

But in the end, Li Fan cherished his life.

He, who had a firm obsession with longevity, also realized.

If he could not become [Real], then in the dangerous Xuanhuang World, there was always the risk of perishing at any time.

Never to recover from the catastrophe.
