My Simulated Road to Immortality

Again, he cast a glance at the 400% charge progress on the Hai Zhen panel.

Only then did he earnestly write the character [Xian] in mid-air, directly flying towards Mo Rubing.

Mo Rubing didn't resist, allowing the power of the Xian Character Technique to envelop his body.

One could see streams of azure smoke rising from thousands of Demon Hearts.

First ascending straight upwards as if reaching the ultimate limit of the sky, then it started to circle around incessantly.

As if searching for a target.

Mo Rubing's face twisted and surged as if a tremendous force was constantly rubbing back and forth on it.

"Brother Mo, hold on." Li Fan said in a deep voice, casting several golden threads that penetrated into Mo Rubing's body.

Since it was an action that had been agreed upon beforehand, it did not provoke any resistance from Mo Rubing.

Pure Spiritual Power and even Divine Soul Power continuously flowed along the golden threads.

Helping Mo Rubing maintain his state under the pressure of the True Immortal Seal Characters.

Above Mo Rubing's head, the thousands of azure smokes gradually fused into one.

And then as if finally finding its target, the azure smoke surged as if it had come to life.

Like an Azure Dragon soaring through the heavens, it suddenly flew downwards.

Its escape target was the fishing pond!

"Could it really be so?" Li Fan's heart gave a heavy thump, subconsciously moving a bit further away from the pond water.

However, what happened next was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Just as the robust Azure Dragon was about to dive into the pond water, it paused slightly for some unknown reason.

And then it split in two.

One part plunged into the fishing pond.

Another soared back into the sky, heading beyond Xuan Huang!

"What?"

The sudden change left both onlookers stunned.

Mo Rubing reacted quickly, first following one of the streams of azure smoke, plunging into the fishing pond.

But once the smoke entered the water, it disappeared without a trace.

Mo Rubing could not find any trace of the Azure Abyss Pearl in the pond water which was so clear that one could see to the bottom.

For a moment he couldn't help but feel somewhat disheartened.

While Li Fan, on the other hand, looked up, gazing at the place where the other stream of azure smoke vanished.

"What do you make of this, Brother Mo? Could it be that the Azure Abyss Pearl actually split in two?" Li Fan asked with a frown.

"Judging by the performance of the Manifestation Character, it might be the case. But what if, the Manifestation Character not only points to the Azure Abyss Pearl's connection but also to Xuanyuan Big Brother?"

"Since there's no gain from this pond for now, let's go and explore where the other stream of azure smoke headed." After a brief silence, Mo Rubing suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

This also coincided with Li Fan's thoughts.

Without sufficient self-defensive power, Li Fan really did not want his true self to interfere with the fishing pond.

The fishing pond itself had contained the oddity of Kitty Treasure, and now that it was confirmed that the disappearance of the King of Mystic Sky was related to it, Li Fan was even more cautious.

Wooden Sword Mirage carried the two of them as they tracked the azure smoke.

Although the ascent of the smoke was fast, it was still slower than Li Fan's Supreme Escape Technique.

Before long, having caught up with the smoke, they only had to wait in its wake.

Mo Rubing did not look well, so Li Fan took the initiative to change the subject.

"Besides the Shamanic Immortal Realm, has King Xuantian ever talked about other legends of the Immortal World?"

"To be honest, even though the path to the Immortal World has been severed for ten thousand years, we cultivators still can't help but be filled with longing and curiosity for the legendary Immortal World."

Li Fan's words pulled Mo Rubing's thoughts back to the past.

"Perhaps it's because he had truly been to the Immortal World, or maybe King Xuanyuan heard it from the Faceless Immortal. In any case, on ordinary days, King Xuanyuan really did talk about some matters of the Immortal World. We could all see that he still cared deeply about the incident of reaching halfway through the ascension process and being forced to return from the Immortal World."

Mo Rubing smiled faintly.

"It is said that the Immortal World is a beautiful sanctuary with infinite resources. After ascending to immortality, one no longer needs to worry about the necessities of cultivation. How many resources one can gather depends entirely on personal strength and luck."

"But King Xuanyuan didn't specify what this so-called resource is. It seems it's not as simple as just Immortal Spiritual Power."

"By the way, there's one more thing. Have you ever heard of the Ascension Thunder Tribulation?" Mo Rubing asked, his expression changing.

"Ascension Thunder Tribulation? Of course, I have heard of it. In the days when the path to immortality still existed, the ancient cultivators, it is said, only those who endured the thunder tribulation could ascend and become immortals." Li Fan answered swiftly.

Mo Rubing's expression became somewhat peculiar: "Back in the day, I was only one step away from ascension. But ever since King Xuanyuan's return, ascension has become a mere illusion. In fact, I have been troubled by this missed opportunity, always harboring regrets for it."

"However, when we were alone, Xuanyuan Big Brother once comforted me. The reason he was able to survive the Ascension Thunder Tribulation that year was that the True Immortal administering the tribulation at the other end of the Immortal Realm Passage suffered a sudden death due to the influence of Path-obliterating Calamity..."

"According to the originally estimated intensity of the tribulation, Xuanyuan Big Brother wouldn't have been able to survive it. In fact, that tribulation wasn't intended to let any Cultivator pass through it at all!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn't help but be astonished.

"So Xuanyuan Big Brother taught me not to be overly obsessed. If I quickened my Cultivation further, what awaited me might not be the fate of Immortal Ascension but rather turning into Flying Ashes amidst the relentless heavenly thunder," Mo Rubing said with a wistful tone.

"Of course, I'm not certain whether this is true or merely a comforting lie from Xuanyuan Big Brother. But, out of trust for Xuanyuan Big Brother, he spouts nonsensical words, and I listen to them as if they were nonsense," he added.

"Hehehe..."

Li Fan remained silent, choosing not to utter a word.

The beautiful impression he had of King of Mystic Sky had already shattered somewhat inside his heart.

In the silence, the Manifestation Character Technique's green smoke finally reached its end.

It was still beneath the High Wall.

However, this time, it didn't touch the High Wall.

Instead, in an inconspicuous corner beneath the High Wall, it suddenly vanished.

Li Fan's mind stirred, recognizing the spot where the green smoke disappeared.

That very spot was one of the nodes leading into the crevasse at the base of the High Wall!

"Let's go!" Mo Rubing exclaimed, his expression lifted, following down into the crevasse.

Li Fan pondered for a moment then decided to follow.

The same ordeal he had previously faced played out again; they rapidly descended in height.

Soon enough, they arrived at the lowest ebb of the Star Sea.

The area was filled with desolate energy, leaving Mo Rubing, a newcomer, momentarily stunned.

Yet, he didn't forget the purpose of their journey.

He closely followed the green smoke, hurtling forward deeper into the winding and maze-like crevasse.

Li Fan already knew that the depressions spreading across the Star Sea were a part of a vast maze, and entering rashly might pose the risk of getting lost.

But now, with the guidance of the green smoke, and most importantly, the possibility of tracking related to Xuantian King and Azure Abyss Pearl,

Li Fan didn't hesitate and followed to explore.

It took many times longer than his previous travels across the Star Sea before the green smoke finally stopped.

Li Fan looked at the place where the connection to the Manifestation Character Technique had disappeared, somewhat shocked.

A perfectly intact green bead was Floating quietly.

It was at that moment Li Fan saw the Azure Abyss Pearl and finally understood the true meaning of "Qing" within the vast expanse of the azure sky.

Mo Rubing trembled slightly as he looked at the Azure Abyss Pearl, confusion in his eyes.

Unsure why the Immortal Instrument upon which Xuanyuan Big Brother relied would be abandoned here, all alone.

"It seems something is not right."

"Why does it appear as if all Spirituality has vanished from this Azure Abyss Pearl?"

Having seen plenty of damaged Immortal Instruments, Li Fan was quick to sense the anomaly within the Azure Abyss Pearl.

With this reminder, Mo Rubing also realized it.

He sprang forward, attempting to touch it.

However, at the moment Mo Rubing neared it, the Azure Abyss Pearl transformed into strands of azure color.

Fragmenting, it vanished without a trace.
