My Simulated Road to Immortality

"The Xuanhuang Realm, truly worthy of being the Immortal Veneration Great Realm. The power of the Heavenly Dao exceeds that of the Heavenly Law Realm by far."

"This [Heavenly Soul Reincarnation] technique completely severs all ties with the Ancient Realm, leaving only a residual thought to reincarnate. I have already tested it over ten thousand times in the Heavenly Law Realm and never once failed."

"Although I anticipated encountering some unforeseen circumstances in the Xuanhuang Realm, the degree of danger still far surpassed my expectations."

"A full fifty years without awakening..."

It seemed to take some time to discern the current state of this body.

After a long silence, the aged voice resounded once more.

Filled with uncertainty and disbelief: "Strange! Heavenly Soul Reincarnation, sacrificing to the Heavenly Soul Dao of the Heavenly Law Realm to achieve reincarnation, entering the Xuanhuang Realm, and transforming into a living being within the realm. In this way, deceiving the Xuanhuang Realm Celestial Way."

"The original plan was for me to awaken, diagnose the Xuanhuang Realm, and then create a new method, inducing chaos from within. Yet now, my original consciousness remains dormant, and this body has already developed the new method?!"

"Contrary to the Logic of Heaven and Earth, to Zheng Changshen..."

The Celestial Doctor grew increasingly disconcerted: "This cultivation method aligns astonishingly well with my thoughts. Even the subtleties of its brilliance surpass my own ideas!"

At that moment, as if sensing the Celestial Doctor's words, Xuanyuan Tuo's eyelids suddenly twitched.

The Celestial Doctor's voice also began to weaken.

"No, this isn't right! Heavenly Soul Reincarnation surpasses the method of Soul Snatching. I have already awakened, so why does the consciousness of this body still exist?"

"The Xuanyuan Clan?!" In the Celestial Doctor's cry of shock, Xuanyuan Tuo finally emerged from his coma.

The Celestial Doctor fell silent, no longer uttering a single word.

Upon regaining consciousness, Xuanyuan Tuo seemed entirely unaware of the existence of the Celestial Doctor within him.

Overjoyed, he examined his cultivation base, which had already reached the Energy Refining Realm.

After a while, Xuanyuan Tuo ascended on the wind, departing amidst the mortals' cries of astonishment within the city.

Within the Immortal Array, light and shadow shifted.

Following this, relying on a mysterious sensation within his Spirit Consciousness, Xuanyuan Tuo wandered the Xuanhuang Realm incessantly, searching for cultivation curiosities.

In just six months, he established his Tao Foundation with [Xuantian Multitude of Spirits], achieved his Gold Core with [Celestial Evolution Method], and ascended to Nascent Soul through [Primordial Cave-Heaven].

Thereafter, utilizing the transformation of [Universe Metamorphosis], he stepped into God Transformation.

With unstoppable momentum, he soared through his cultivation!

Until he reached the peak of God Transformation, stopping only at the stage of [Sacrificing the Essence of Heaven and Earth to unite with the Heavenly Dao].

The Xuanhuang Realm's Essence of Heaven and Earth was vast and boundless.

How to choose became Xuanyuan Tuo's dilemma.

Before the creation of the new method, cultivators often regarded the Essence of Heaven and Earth as a projection of the will of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the most suitable medium for comprehending the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

There had indeed been cultivators who tried to capture the Essence of Heaven and Earth, but at best, they could only use it for enlightenment. No one had ever found a way to refine its power and assimilate it into their cultivation base.

"The Essence of Heaven and Earth is born with its Heavenly Duty. Despite its appearance as an independent human-like entity, it remains interconnected with the web of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. My proposed new method aims to exploit this link to steal the power of Heaven and Earth."

"Each Essence of Heaven and Earth corresponds to a specific law of Heaven and Earth. My goal is..."

Xuanyuan Tuo gazed at the Xuanhuang Heavenly Earth, its scenery fading into illusion, transforming into a vast web of horizontal and vertical threads. His eyes swept across the web as he carefully searched for his target.

It was unclear how much time had passed...

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Tuo's gaze froze.

His expression shifted, filled with complex emotions.

There was doubt and delight.

"For some reason, I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity."

"Furthermore, the law corresponding to this Essence of Heaven and Earth seems not to be innate to the Xuanhuang Realm. Compared with the others, it appears somewhat out of place..."

"From the Upper World?"

Xuanyuan Tuo remained silent for a long time before finally firming his resolve.

Another six months passed as he unleashed every possible method, ultimately succeeding in drawing out this peculiar Essence of Heaven and Earth!

It was shrouded in a halo of golden light, its aura sacred and inviolable. It looked down at Xuanyuan Tuo below as though regarding an ant.

"Though born of the Immortal World, having merged with the Xuanhuang Realm, you have already fallen into the mortal dust. Even in the face of death, you remain unaware of your fate!" A year ago, Xuanyuan Tuo had been merely a middle-aged farmer resigned to his lot.

But over the course of this past year, as his cultivation base and realm climbed ever higher, and fragmented memories flooded his Spirit Consciousness, Xuanyuan Tuo's demeanor had changed significantly.

Even those faintly connected to the Upper World no longer held any weight in his eyes—they were nothing more than prey.

Xuanyuan Tuo struck with a palm, instantly freezing the space surrounding the golden Essence of Heaven and Earth. Countless Xuanhuang Realm visions transformed into grim shadows, swarming towards it.

It was as though he created a new world around the golden Essence of Heaven and Earth, which then evolved into dozens of Essences of Heaven and Earth to encircle and attack.

Xuanyuan Tuo appeared as the commander of a mighty army, firmly seated amidst the Central Army, unmoving as his forces clashed.

Though the golden Essence of Heaven and Earth was powerful, once Xuanyuan Tuo used unfathomable methods to sever its connection to the Xuanhuang Heavenly Earth, it inevitably lost its foundation, like a tree without roots or water without a source.

Ultimately, it was worn down to exhaustion, transforming into a golden light and consumed by Xuanyuan Tuo.

"Essence of Heaven and Earth, [Golden Governance]!"

The resplendent golden radiance faded, and Xuanyuan Tuo exhaled slowly.

Golden Governance had existed in the Xuanhuang Realm since its creation. Created by Immortals, it held the power to oversee and generate all things within Xuanhuang. Originally hidden deep within the Xuanhuang Realm, it was imperceptible to ordinary mortals. But with the Immortal World's collapse and the ancient arrays enabling the effectiveness of the Golden Governance Law shattered...

Only then did Xuanyuan Tuo uncover its secrets.
