My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1222 - 1175 Star Sea Wanderer

(The previous chapter was modified; if you read it early, please read it again.)

Although during the standoff between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization, the development of various technologies on both sides was not slow, with numerous methods emerging endlessly.

However, this rapid development period lasted for less than three thousand years. Since the Great Calamity when the path to immortality was severed, for tens of thousands of years, the Xuanhuang World had mostly been embroiled in mutual slaughter and strife.

Civilization did not advance but regressed.

"If my guess is true, then it’s hard to believe how wide the gap between civilizations inside and outside the high walls could be."

The closed civilization, boasting itself as the strongest nation. Yet, when one day the passage to the outside world was suddenly opened, in the face of the enemy’s military force far ahead of its era, it had no power to resist, and it quickly fell and was annihilated.

Such events are not uncommon in the history of civilization’s development.

Not to mention before my crossing, even now, there are still some Small Worlds that have lost contact with Xuanhuang World, forgetting the existence of cultivators, and establishing thriving mortal forces, with historians grandly recording their deeds.

In result, it only takes one Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to easily destroy the so-called "flourishing dynasty."

Li Fan’s goal had always been transcendence and longevity.

For this, he underwent numerous reincarnations, solely to carve out a path in the perilous and disaster-prone Xuanhuang World.

Ultimately, he was to leave this Abyss Star Ocean and go beyond the high walls.

But at this moment, the speculation about the possible existence of a civilization beyond the high walls caused Li Fan’s heart to chill secretly.

"If there truly is a cultivating immortality civilization that has developed for so many years. Maybe it could possess power that could compete with that of a True Immortal, or even possibly affect Hai Zhen to some extent…"

Li Fan’s gaze flickered, his thoughts turbulent.

However, he did not feel fear.

Hai Zhen was his greatest assurance.

Being able to trace back time and again, and bring back memories and experiences to a fixed anchor point, even if the world beyond the high walls was truly thousands of years ahead, he could easily close the gap between them with a few reincarnations.

"Just need to be cautious. Before figuring out the situation, I will use clones, Sacred Embryo; the main body shall never leave. Stability is the priority!"

"Not afraid of what monsters might exist beyond the high walls, but afraid that there might be nothing at all."

...

In the dark void, the Sword Light transformed by the Sacred Embryo, Li Fan, closely followed behind the twenty-nine puppets.

Since he broke through the realm, only half a year had passed in the Xuanhuang World.

But from the perspective of the Sacred Embryo, Li Fan, he had already left the Xuanhuang World for a whole ten years.

The difference in the flow of time, which intensified after delving into the Star Sea, had recently reached a terrifying peak of fifty to one.

But as the Sacred Embryo, Li Fan, continued to move forward, the time difference between his location and the Xuanhuang World gradually returned to a convergence.

From fifty to one, it dropped all the way to ten to one.

Compared to when he just left the Xuanhuang World, it was not too different.

Li Fan knew that this was because he was gradually approaching another massive power source that twisted the flow of time.

"The Star Sea is vast, even though I have utilized this unknown great power, with a speed that reached a hundred times the limit of flying escape in the Xuanhuang World. It still took so long to reach the destination," Sacred Embryo Li Fan quietly exclaimed.

In these ten years, he had divided his Divine Soul more than three hundred times.

From a peak period, almost comparable to a Xuanhuang Integration Cultivator, to now, just having the strength of a normal mortal.

The pain he endured in the process, even someone with Li Fan’s tenacious character, did not want to experience it a second time.

Fortunately, in the last few years, possibly because his strength had decreased to a very weak level, the frequency of infection by the Black Dot also drastically reduced.

And after more than three hundred divisions, the Sacred Embryo Li Fan had gained some insights into this mysterious disease.

"Although I still can’t figure out the principle of its appearance, I can be certain that this Black Dot is related to the Immortal Cultivation World, which has already perished and vanished in the Abyss Star Ocean."

More than three hundred soul divisions tainted by the Black Dot, if it were just a single one, perhaps Li Fan wouldn’t have sensed anything.

But at this moment, all the Souls of the Barren Silence he had left along the way in the Abyss Star Ocean added up, allowing Li Fan to find their commonality.

After seemingly complete silence, they did not stay where they were.

Instead, they quietly flowed toward different areas of the Abyss Star Ocean.

Their method of movement was also quite mystical, not moving normally through space.

Like water droplets naturally rolling from highs to lows, they hurriedly shuttled through the Abyss Star Ocean.

Once they reached their destinations, they one by one disappeared forever from Li Fan’s senses.

"Those locations, in the depths of the Star Sea between the Xuanhuang World, seem to overlap with the [Void] I passed through,"

Sacred Embryo Li Fan turned his head and gazed back, falling into silence.

"It seems that in the Abyss Star Ocean, various inconceivable phenomena might all be interconnected."

"So what exactly is going on with this star sea power that rivals the Immortal Ruins? Why was there no sign of it when I was in the Xuanhuang World, and it suddenly erupted recently?"

Filled with doubts, Sacred Embryo Li Fan grew even more curious about the unknown path ahead.

"Hmm?"

While he was deep in thought, he suddenly became alert and looked ahead.

That feeling of being watched by something resurfaced.

And this time, it was much stronger than what he had experienced over the past ten years.

It made Sacred Embryo Li Fan shudder, his heart pounding fiercely.

As if there was something extremely terrifying existing in the dark void ahead!

With a thought, Li Fan first controlled a Stone Puppet to crash into the source of the sensed danger.

Immediately following was a Sword Light, which he slashed out from afar.

The Stone Puppet seemed to collide with something, emitting a muffled sound.

Right after, the puppet disappeared from Li Fan’s senses.

Affected by the reduction in his Divine Soul, the Sword Light Li Fan slashed out was far less dazzling than when he had just left the Xuanhuang World.

But it still managed to illuminate the surrounding pitch-black space.

A pair of huge eyes suddenly appeared from the darkness.

Staring fixedly at Li Fan.

And a dried-up large hand had quietly arrived in front of Sacred Embryo Li Fan, ready to grasp him in its palm!

"Fuck!"

In the Dark Void, he had voyaged for more than a decade.

He had not encountered any other living beings besides himself.

Now suddenly encountering such a terrifying entity, Li Fan’s heart thumped wildly, and his scalp went numb.

Instinctively, countless Sword Shadows flew out.

He didn’t know if it was because his strength had become too weak or if the monster was too strong.

These Sword Shadows, which could split mountains and part seas in the Xuanhuang World, did not cause even a small amount of damage.

Seeing that he was about to be completely captured by the monster’s hand, Li Fan thought about fighting desperately.

But soon, he noticed something wrong.

The gigantic, emaciated human body in front…

Showed no signs of life.

Its movements, its expressions, remained the same all along.
