My Simulated Road to Immortality

"Such as the Body into the Universe, intent reaching the Star River. Taija Unlimited, a wandering spirit; Taija Unchanging, a transforming spirit; Taija Authentic, a sublime spirit..."

Zhong Daogong began his chanting like a poem, reciting the very Taija Divine Art derived from the Hei Bai Shuang Zhu by Yin Shangren, which was later taught to the members of the Immortal Boat by Li Fan!

Previously it was only an incomplete version, but now, this Divine Technique specifically used to communicate with the Star Sea Consciousness, has been perfected after extensive research by the Elders of the Immortal Boat.

Combining the power of the True Immortal Seal Characters and through the magnification effect of the ritual, its power has been enhanced hundreds to thousands of times!

Leading with his voice, Zhong Daogong sang, followed in chorus by the Elder of the Immortal Boat one after another.

Like a grand symphony, it echoed within and throughout the Star Sea.

Flags engraved with the fusion of True Immortal Seal Characters fluttered in the chant. From a bird's-eye view, one could see that with the change of syllables, some characters on the flags correspondingly lit up and flickered brightly.

It seemed like a colossal being composed of countless characters, breathing in and out!

From beyond the ritual, Li Fan witnessing this scene, suddenly came to a realization, understanding what that different meaning he felt before was actually about.

A hidden character [Equilibrium], concealed among the overlaying fusion of True Immortal Seal Characters, lurking quietly.

Just waiting...

For the Star Sea Consciousness to be unnaturally connected, to descend. And then suddenly erupt!

The long-prepared Jun Tian Ceremony of the Mystic Immortal Boat, turns out to be just this simple, rudimentary.

But achieving it, is far from being as easy as it seems.

Take just this first step, forcibly communicating with the Star Sea Consciousness. It already far exceeds the capability of the Taija Divine Art. Li Fan had previously used this art, and even with the goodwill accumulated over ten thousand years from the annihilated Taijia Realm, he managed to exchange for a promise of help from the Star Sea Consciousness to aid in the revival of Xuanhuang Sublimation.

After that, the Star Sea offered no response.

But now, with the improved Taija Divine Art by the members of the Immortal Boat, a direct bridge for communication between cultivators and the Star Sea has been established. Forcing the true intent of the Star Sea itself to focus here!

The voices of everyone chanting grew even grander, Li Fan faintly felt that above the ceremony, a colossal vortex was forming.

Unlike the utterly silent Ocean Trench, this vortex shimmered with light, teeming with limitless life. And faintly, relentless booming murmurs reverberated within.

The Star Sea space they occupied seemed to emit groaning sounds under its unbearable load.

And within Li Fan's body, corresponding abnormalities emerged.

Just like before, after encountering the True Immortal Phantom through that Immortal World copper coin. Spiritual Power, body, Divine Soul all boiling as if they were about to evaporate into nothingness!

"Only, when I previously encountered the True Immortal Phantom, I was virtually powerless to resist. But now..."

Li Fan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the abnormalities within him.

"Though the pressure of the Star Sea is strong, it is still not as considerable as a True Immortal."

"Grand and magnificent, still not comparable to ascension and transformation!"

With many thoughts flashing through his mind, the voice of Zhong Daogong suddenly sounded next to Li Fan's ear: "Fellow Daoist, why not join the ritual now!"

"If the Jun Tian Ceremony succeeds, you will have played a monumental role. Now is the time to reap the fruits!"

It was not only Zhong Daogong's voice; Jian Dusheng, Nangong Lie, and all the Elders of the Immortal Boat, their voices resonated together!

Seemingly as an invitation, seemingly as coercion.

"Is this the Elders of the Immortal Boat all coming out, causing internal emptiness. Not wanting to leave me as an unpredictability outside, in case of accident?" Li Fan secretly sneered to himself.

"Then I'll decline it disrespectfully!" Yet he was fearless, his voice soaring as he flew into the ritual.

No need to find a suitable position on his own.

The moment he flew into the ritual, Li Fan felt countless flags swirling around him, changing positions, guiding him "into" the ceremony!

The surrounding chanting forced him subconsciously to emit a harmonizing voice!

Everyone was in place, the long-accumulated Taija Ceremony finally reaching its climax inside the vortex with specks of golden-purple light, where the roaring wind and thunder suddenly quieted.

Even the vortex itself fell into absolute stillness.

In the ritual, everyone's view suddenly changed. As if leaping forth, jumping out of the Star Sea. Then, they were able to behold the Star Sea itself.

If previously the Taija Divine Art was just communicating indirectly with the Star Sea via transmission, now, everyone had forcibly pried open the door between humanity and the Star Sea, facing it eye to eye!

The feeling of being thoroughly exposed, which he hadn't experienced for a long time, surged within Li Fan's heart.

Even with absolute confidence that his internal [Hai Zhen] Exotic Treasure would not be discovered by a mere side of the Star Sea Consciousness, Li Fan was still on the highest alert, having already brought up the Hai Zhen interface, ready to activate Hai Zhen at any moment.

As Li Fan had expected, even the signs of the Path-obliterating Calamity represented by the black vapor were undetectable to the Star Sea Consciousness, let alone Hai Zhen.

The Star Sea Consciousness did not linger especially on Li Fan, but distributed its anger evenly, imposing it on every Elder of the Immortal Boat within the ceremony.

After all, being forcibly communicated by beings akin to ants, to the Star Sea Consciousness, is a true humiliation. Now, the Star Sea Consciousness simply waited to see what these ants truly intended to express.

And then to descend thunderous wrath.

However...

The ants did not actually want to communicate.

Countless flags, in the shining chorus, fluttered without wind. Each bundle of flags, in mid-continuous flutter, due to the folds exposed, instantly formed a totality.

The [Equilibrium] character that had been hidden under countless True Immortal Seal Characters finally emerged conspicuously!
