My Simulated Road to Immortality

"The Immortal World is thus. True Immortals are also thus."

"When the day comes that the mountain and sea meld, that will be the time when the debt of Tao Yan is repaid."

All the scenes witnessed in past reincarnations now play out one by one before Li Fan. The so-called Tao Yan, the so-called tribulation, cannot escape this kind of rule.

"This is the inspiration that surged in my heart after I truly established an Immortal Domain."

"Although I pride myself on having exceptional comprehension, those former Immortal Emperors of the Immortal World, even the Four Saint Lords, their talents must not be beneath mine."

"If I can comprehend these, how can they not?"

"They stand taller, naturally they see further."

...

Li Fan couldn't help but slightly raise his head, looking "above."

"So, they knew long ago that this day would come. So they must climb a bit higher, climbing more before the mountain and sea meld."

"The lifespan year limit on Hai Zhen's panel represents the lifespan of the entire [Mortal World]. However, it may not fully reflect the longevity of Infinite Sea and Upper Mountain."

"Though the mountain and sea meld is a trend, yet every trend will have a day to stop."

A bolt of lightning split open the mist in Li Fan's spirit consciousness.

In an instant, he seemed to leap out of the Mortal World, in front of him were only endless mountains and seas.

The mountain and sea meld, and the multitude of beings in the Mortal World below the mountain would vanish with this fusion like smoke.

The Tao Yan tide continues to approach the mountain.

The absolute strongmen on the mountainside are all climbing upwards.

"As long as you climb high enough, you might dodge the calamity of the mountain and sea meld!"

Li Fan seemed to have already reached the peak of Upper Mountain, looking at the turbulent waves below. His heart shook, and this thought surged uncontrollably.

But next, he couldn't help but think: "How high must one stand to avoid the conclusion of the mountain and sea meld?"

"Lord Guardian Hill, the Four Saint Lords?"

"Or... "

"Hai Zhen?!"

As the blessing of the heart came, Li Fan suddenly thought of this exotic treasure that had accompanied him for a long time.

But this time, Hai Zhen's response was very strange.

Neither acknowledging nor denying.

Just emotions, somewhat low.

Even a slight negative emotion from Hai Zhen had an extremely significant impact on Li Fan.

"Perhaps no matter how high I climb, it is hard to escape the fate of doom."

"Ascending Upper Mountain, every step is indeed too difficult. Missing the opportunity when Upper Mountain was first opened, trying to catch up..."

"In the past, when I was cultivating in the Xuanhuang World, relying on the benefit of Hai Zhen, I was always full of confidence. As long as I had enough reincarnation time, I could become stronger step by step. From refining energy to Foundation Establishment, and then to Golden Core Nascent Soul. Finally, trampling every Immortal Realm expert underfoot. But now..."

"Upper Mountain has stood for a thousand years, and now, how can I surpass its height?"

"The phantom left by Lord Guardian Hill is already so powerful. What about the true strength of Lord Guardian Hill? If Lord Guardian Hill is already like this, then what about the Four Immortal Saints?"

"How can I win against them?"

Li Fan's expression gradually became confused and he seemed to lose his focus.

Just as Li Fan was gradually getting lost, fortunately, Hai Zhen noticed something was amiss in time. Completely restraining its emotional fluctuations.

Without the influence of Hai Zhen, Li Fan gradually extricated himself from this "heart demon."

Even though he has gone through a hundred reincarnations, he could not help but break into a cold sweat for a moment.

Li Fan is definitely not a pessimistic person.

He has always believed that as long as he had Hai Zhen in hand, one day he would be able to fully transcend, freely.

But Hai Zhen's emotion triggering was just an inducement. The crux is, after finally seeing [Upper Mountain]'s scenery, the daze and slight despair it brought about.

The gap with those strongmen standing at the pinnacle of the mountain and sea is just too large. So large that even with the power of infinite reincarnation, Li Fan does not have full confidence to make up for it.

Especially as Li Fan's strength advances, getting closer and closer to these strongmen. The risks he bears are bound to get higher and higher. And the external forces he can rely on are becoming more and more scarce.

The strongmen between the mountains and seas are only those. Around you, there are only sheer cliff faces without any place for you to borrow strength.

What else do you have to cross that chasm, to catch up or even surpass them?

Before, as long as he had the maximum trump card in his heart, "True and False Changes," Li Fan would not be affected by such negative emotions.

But now the situation is extremely special.

Because first, even Hai Zhen himself was affected by this pessimistic emotion, indirectly involving Li Fan.

After Hai Zhen suppressed its emotions, it disappeared without a trace. All the previous occurrences seemed like an illusion.

But Li Fan's slightly trembling body indicated that the recent experience was not his imagination.

It took a long time, relying on great willpower, for Li Fan to temporarily extricate himself from that emotion. However, Li Fan himself also knew that shadow had not been entirely erased.

It still exists in a corner of his heart. It may burst out at any moment in the future.

Li Fan closed his eyes, wiped away the gloom within, then reopened them.

What truly matters to him is not the temporary loss of control over his mind. After all, this is not the first or second time.

What truly surprised him was Hai Zhen's emotional fluctuations, which were somewhat beyond his expectations.

"After seeing all the mountains and seas, have I finally glimpsed the limits of Hai Zhen?"

Li Fan was slightly in a daze, but an infinite amount of emotion surged in his heart.

Once upon a time, he always thought that Hai Zhen was omnipotent. As long as he had the exotic treasure in hand, he could move forward fearlessly.

Now, it seems that the time is finally approaching when he must rely on himself to walk.

Li Fan's face was as deep as water.

He knows that the so-called "approaching" is actually still a long period of time. But after all, it is already within his "sight" range.

It is not far away.

In the face of all Li Fan's thoughts, Hai Zhen seemed to return to the state when Li Fan first began cultivating, no longer causing any emotional fluctuations.

Li Fan stood like a clay sculpture, quietly.

Until subtle fluctuations from outside the high wall disturbed him.

The momentum was grand, even disturbed the road constructed by Li Buren until it was hard to maintain.

Li Fan looked coldly.

He saw that those who came were indeed the group of immortals from the Sea of the Northern Stars.

No-Immortal led the group of true immortals and nameless true immortals, all arriving outside the high wall.

"I heard that senior has reestablished the Immortal Court in the Immortal World with great divine power. We wish to admire it, so we came uninvited, wishing to witness its wonders." A figure in white proclaimed loudly.

It will be restored soon.
