My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 1604: Chapter 1358: Immortal Array Traps the Celestial Doctor (7K)

Gathering his thoughts, Li Fan firmly grasped the Immortal World “Northern Cold” copper coin, attempting to decipher the function of this immortal coin.

“It can’t possibly be just a mere currency, right?”

Li Fan always faintly felt that there were other secrets hidden within this immortal coin.

First, he tried infusing it with the Essence of Source Power, to stimulate it.

But the Essence of Source Power is just the form of energy closest to Celestial Spiritual Power in the Lower Realm, and it doesn’t mean that it can be equated with True Immortal Spirit Force.

When faced with the Northern Cold Immortal Coin, a true creation of the Immortal World, it naturally lost its effectiveness.

Rolling Essence of Source Power surged like tides, only to crash against the surface of the immortal coin, unable to penetrate it.

Li Fan withdrew the Essence of Source Power, pondered for a moment, and proceeded to the Outer Space of the Xuanhuang World.

He activated the Ascension Array, attempting to observe again from an ascending dimensional perspective.

As expected, there was a difference from the usual sight.

As his own “power” kept escalating, the side of the copper coin that showcased the ever-changing panorama began to slow its flickering, and the whole view within the same time frame became increasingly abundant.

And…

Above the Vault of Heaven of the full panorama of the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, a vague shadow unexpectedly began to emerge!

Unable to discern the features, with just one glance, Li Fan’s spiritual energy within his body uncontrollably began to boil.

In an instant, unable to maintain the elevation of power, he fell back to his original mortal state.

However, the boiling of his spiritual power within did not cease.

Li Fan furrowed his brows, wanting to use even greater force to forcefully suppress this abnormal boiling.

But this decision was like adding fuel to the fire.

It seemed to ignite an unnamed flame, fierce and unextinguishable, until all the spiritual power within his body, along with the body itself, was burned to ashes.

Only then did it end.

Not long afterward, accompanied by a wave of inexplicable fluctuations, Li Fan’s body re-manifested in the Void.

With each breath, his physical and spiritual power once again became replete.

“Not only spiritual power but the body, and even the Divine Soul, almost got involved,” Li Fan reflected solemnly.

“Fortunately, I was decisive and promptly severed the connection between the Divine Soul and the body in time.”

After checking the status of his new body, Li Fan wore a grave expression.

“Merely a glimpse at that figure…”

“Is it the punishment for a mundane living being attempting to pry into the visage of a True Immortal?”

“If it weren’t for my strong survival ability, replacing it with any Integration Cultivator from the Xuanhuang World of this era, I fear they would have a hard time surviving this punishment.”

“That figure, it must not be an ordinary True Immortal. The Nameless Realm…” Li Fan pondered.

Putting aside the Northern Cold Immortal Coin for the time being, Li Fan did not rush to fuse the pieces of the Immortal Realm.

Instead, he suppressed it in the Da Qi Miniature World and leisurely made his way to the Mystic Immortal Boat.

Meanwhile, he did not forget to halt the arrangements for the Jun Tian Ceremony, so as not to arouse the suspicions of the Mystic Immortal Boat.

On his way, Li Fan sensed the changes that had occurred in his body recently.

Though the changes were minimal, Li Fan’s control over his own body had already reached a level of utmost precision, so naturally, he clearly perceived them.

Touching his face, he mused, “It has actually started to transform towards the visage of the Thousand-Eyes Barren God… Is this the price for using the power of the Barren God?”

“I haven’t personally participated in it, and was only influenced by the previous Jun Tian Ceremony.”

An expression of interest flashed by, and Li Fan, fully immersed in playing his role, first returned to the original position where the Mystic Immortal Boat was.

Not finding any trace of the Mystic Immortal Boat, he stayed still in place for a while.

Then, relying on the mutual induction of the Jun Tian Ceremony, he found the new hiding spot of the Immortal Boat.

The gates of the Immortal Boat were tightly closed, and unexpectedly no Elders came out to welcome him.

Li Fan showed an expression of urgency, directly stimulated his own aura as a reminder, and waited for a while. Seeing that there was still no response from the Immortal Boat, he was about to forcefully break in.

At that moment, Zhong Daogong’s somewhat feeble voice finally came through: “Don’t worry, we are fine.”

“It’s just that it’s not convenient to meet for now…”

Li Fan initially let out a sigh of relief, but then hearing Zhong Daogong’s words, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat indignant: “After the Jun Tian Ceremony, we are already bound as one. How can you still not trust me?”

Zhong Daogong sighed and explained: “It’s not that, not at all. Have you really not noticed the changes in yourself?”

Li Fan looked genuinely astonished, reflected upon himself, and his body shook violently: “What on earth has happened?”

Zhong Daogong then slowly recounted the entire incident of the inexplicable encounter with the Fairy Puppet.

Li Fan’s expression changed repeatedly, hesitating to speak.

“Fortunately, that puppet was also gravely injured. At the last moment, it only managed to snatch the final chess piece along with an Immortal Realm copper coin, without causing greater damage to the Immortal Boat. Otherwise, I truly would have been beyond redemption.”

“Mainly, I underestimated the power that the Fairy Puppet could unleash. Who could have thought that there would be an existence in the current Star Sea capable of contending with the Desolate God?” Zhong Daogong coughed lightly.

After a long silence, Li Fan finally said: “Even if I were there, I might have fallen for the trick. After all, it’s a Fairy Puppet, immune to True Immortal Seal Characters, and has genuine True Immortal Flesh…”

“Could it be that the Star Sea still hides a civilization that completely surpasses both the Immortal Boat and Da Qi?” Li Fan acted shocked.

“I’m afraid that’s indeed the case,” said Zhong Daogong, then changing tack, “Now that that civilization has collected all the chess pieces, they will probably focus all their effort on reconstructing the former Immortal Domain, and they won’t target us again for a while.”

“They didn’t leave any means of tracking? To just lose such a Supreme Treasure, I’m truly unwilling to let it go.”

“Even if we can’t beat them, tracking them down to probe the truth and stirring up a big fuss would be something. At the very least to let them know that our Mystic Immortal Boat is not to be trifled with.” Li Fan huffed.
