My Simulated Road to Immortality

Li Fan lingered near the boundary of the high wall, unable to recover from the recent upheaval for a long time.

Eighteen Star Spirits, at the most critical moment when the Immortal Boat was about to cross the high wall, suddenly detached...

It could be confirmed that this was definitely not the will of the Star Spirits themselves.

The concern and care the elders of the Immortal Boat had for it were unquestionable. They were even willing to sacrifice their lives without hesitation for its continuation.

"It was the Star Sea Origin Consciousness. In that fleeting moment, it must have sensed something."

Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a sense of apprehension, as he also retreated a distance away.

"The Star Sea Consciousness acts instinctively, without the pretense humans often exhibit. It seems there truly was an unfathomable terror descending just now."

"Yet, despite witnessing it all, I remained completely unaware."

This was the aspect he cared about most.

Li Fan couldn't help but recall an image.

It was from before his traversal, when he once wandered along the waterway paths in a wetland park.

While strolling through the park, he could see the underwater scenery clearly through transparent glass, offering a distinctly different view compared to the terrestrial landscape—a unique and remarkable experience.

Underwater, fish would gather and draw nearer to the glass barrier.

The younger ones, despite visitors being pressed up against the glass observing them, remained oblivious, continuing to frolic and play.

Yet the larger ones, those seemingly older inhabitants, felt the danger acutely even before people approached. They flicked their tails, fleeing into the depths and vanishing from sight.

...

This scene bore an uncanny resemblance to the events that had occurred just moments ago!

Old memories awakened gradually, bringing a delayed sense of cold dread to Li Fan.

"My current level of power still leaves me akin to those juvenile fish, unable to perceive the existence of such threats."

"Only those at the Star Sea level—or moreover, at the Star Sea Limit within the Supreme Realm—are akin to the adult fish."

"But regardless of which comparison one makes, against those silent, watching eyes beyond the high wall..."

At this thought, Li Fan's expression darkened, and his wariness toward the area beyond the high wall increased.

"Beyond the high wall... I wonder whether the Mystic Immortal Boat, which staked everything in its desperate attempt, managed to break through the wall or not?"

Li Fan carefully recollected the sensations he retained from the moment the Immortal Boat vanished.

After a long while, Li Fan's expression subtly changed. To confirm his suspicions, he returned once again to the vicinity of the high wall.

He split off a sliver of his Divine Sense and directed it to strike against the invisible wall.

Li Fan's action was futile—a mere egg striking against stone.

The moment of collision with the high wall resulted in his fragile Divine Sense being rebounded and obliterated by the wall's power.

Undeterred, Li Fan continued to cast threads of Divine Sense repeatedly.

Finally, after more than ten thousand attempts, he faintly discerned something.

"The obliteration upon impacting the high wall feels different compared to the momentary disappearance inside the Immortal Boat."

"Being destroyed by the high wall still leaves a faint sense of the destruction process. Although that process is extremely brief, repeating tens of thousands of times allowed me to notice it. But it is nothing like the instantaneous disappearance beyond the wall."

"The Mystic Immortal Boat succeeded—it truly broke through the high wall's blockade!"

An intense wave of emotion surged within Li Fan.

"The combined efforts of the eighteen Star Spirits, the infinite energy of the Star Sea, and the explosive power of True Immortal Seal Characters' fusion—indeed, they achieved transcendent power within that brief moment."

The success of the Mystic Immortal Boat gave Li Fan a newfound hope of crossing the high wall.

The methods used in this lifetime could entirely be replicated.

In an instant, Li Fan's state of mind stirred with excitement.

But soon after, as he considered the changes that followed the Mystic Immortal Boat's crossing, the faint joy in Li Fan's heart instantly vanished.

"Once crossed, perception disappears entirely. Even if deemed successful, from my perspective, it's no different than failure."

"Outside the wall, there appears to be layers upon layers of danger—unknown forces even capable of hunting True Immortals. There's no way I would rashly venture beyond the wall in complete ignorance."

Prioritizing his safety was Li Fan's most fundamental principle in action—a principle he would never compromise for fleeting benefits. Of course, unforeseen accidents during the execution of these principles might be considered a separate matter.

"I must find a way to sense, even if it's from within the high wall."

"Maybe only by understanding the essence of the high wall can it be achieved."

Li Fan instinctively turned his gaze toward the only known breach in the high wall.

Suddenly, Li Fan's mind stirred, prompting him to move slightly closer.

He carefully observed and sensed the direction in which the Mystic Immortal Boat had disappeared.

Threads of golden lines, like liquid mercury spilling, spread outward. These were techniques Li Fan had learned from the Celestial Doctor within the Illusion Array to probe the high wall.

After the opportunity passed, Li Fan retracted the golden threads, his expression becoming subtly complex: "Even though the Mystic Immortal Boat had already breached the high wall, I still couldn't detect any so-called flaws within the wall."

"And yet, when the King of Mystic Sky once transmitted a single thought, it managed to leave an eternal mark upon the high wall?"

"Surely, in aspects of non-physical forms, the high wall's blockade is significantly weaker. To achieve perception or communication across the wall, perhaps this is the angle to pursue."

At present, Li Fan's peak combat strength primarily centered around True and False Changes and several Immortal Arrays. Spirit and Divine Soul aspects were not his forte.

"Wuyou, Dreamland Paradise." Li Fan suddenly thought of the Immortal Sovereign from Xuanhuang World.

"I wonder to what extent the Paradise has spread within the Star Sea. Has it reached the boundary of the high wall?"

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect and countless living beings of the Small Worlds were continuing their exploration of the dream realm.

However, the Worry-Free Paradise and the Dream World were so unimaginably vast that all new entrants could only proceed step by step in their exploration.
