My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1523 - 1322: Ascend to Touch the Immortal’s Shadow_2
Chapter 1523 -1322: Ascend to Touch the Immortal’s Shadow_2
He was already located within the temporal-spatial protrusion indicated in the picture, yet unaware of it.
Li Fan stood still, delicately discerning the subtle differences of space-time around him.
“Back in the day, our Immortal Boat also took hundreds of years to understand this method of [Climbing]. It’s normal for you to be confused at first, Dao friend.”
“If it really doesn’t work out, we can just release the Golden Sword Phantom and escape with our physical bodies.”
The Elders of the Immortal Boat suggested “kindly.”
Li Fan paid no attention to them, closed his eyes, and a scene flashed through his Spirit Consciousness.
In fact, Li Fan had truly experienced this so-called sensation of spatio-temporal highs and lows.
It was from the last life when The Wall collapsed, and an unknown entity descended, causing tumultuous waves throughout the Star Sea.
However, Li Fan was shaken by that world-shocking scene at that time and was deceived by superficial phenomenon.
He did not pay attention to the sensation of spatio-temporal turbulence, akin to the upheavals within the Star Sea.
“The difference of high and low.”
The scene in his Spirit Consciousness, from illusion, gradually became real. As if he returned to the end of his last life, Li Fan watched the Star Sea’s turmoil, the magnificent vista of towering waves.
A slow enlightenment began to emerge in his heart.
The illusion faded, and looking at the present,
At the towering site of Ruined World The Wall, this protrusion became extremely conspicuous.
“Gentlemen, stand ready!”
Li Fan said in a deep voice.
The Sword Shadow shone with brilliant golden light once more. As bright as the great sun in the sky, yet for some reason, the Golden Light only flickered in this area, failing to illuminate a wide expanse.
Although there was no physical movement, the Golden Sword Phantom seemed to instantaneously traverse billions of miles of space-time, decaying, flickering in and out of existence.
Sweat beads formed on Li Fan’s forehead, and his body began to shiver involuntarily.
The Members of the Immortal Ark watched as the remnants of Ruined World The Wall, due to distortion and deformation, seemed smaller within their sight, revealing a look of surprise.
“Did he really complete the climb on his first attempt?”
“This child’s talent and comprehension are indeed rare in this world. He must have been among the elite even within the Da Qi civilization.”
“So young and already so accomplished. If given a few more centuries, he might truly be able to transcend The Wall! No wonder he became somewhat deranged when his time limit approached so suddenly. I wouldn’t be able to accept it either!”
The Elders of the Immortal Boat looked at Li Fan, many with a hint of pity in their eyes.
The climb, and the changes, continued.
The area engulfed by the Golden Sword Phantom was rapidly shrinking. It barely encompassed the members of the Immortal Boat and Li Fan.
The once brilliant Golden Light also slowly dimmed.
Obviously, the consumption grew intense, as if it might extinguish completely at any moment.
But the change it brought was clear to see.
The surroundings, once a continuous extension of Ruined World The Wall reaching the skies, slowly curled in, forming a closing ring.
The viewpoint kept rising, and the ring became smaller and smaller.
Eventually, it converged to a point.
Boom! Boom!
As if reaching the end of the road, or as if hitting a wall.
The last remnants of the Golden Sword Phantom shattered instantly.
Li Fan spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion pale.
But he just casually wiped it away, his eyes flickering with surprise and madness.
“This is The Wall?” Li Fan coughed lightly, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. He didn’t seem to care and turned to ask.
“No.”
“This is the real foot of The Wall.” Zhong Daogong carefully examined Li Fan for a moment, first shaking his head in denial and then sighing deeply.
Similarly, observing the surroundings.
“Another climb is needed?” Upon hearing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but look upwards.
“The Wall is hard to surpass, or perhaps impossible to cross. The only way is to throw oneself at it.” Jian Dusheng said gravely.
“This time the number of people who came is fewer, relying solely on our combined strength; we likely cannot withstand the impact point like before. But the distance should be sufficient to observe traces.”
Upon their words, the Elders of the Immortal Boat formed a circle.
Immediately, strange auras emerged from them.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Without escalating crescendo, it surged like the continuous waves at the seaside, one wave higher than the next.
Carried by this wave of force, the landscape that had shrunk to a point began to shift again.
The point stretched downwards, forming confining lines.
The auras from the bodies of the Elders of the Immortal Boat grew more vigorous, and the lines became thicker and thicker.
Like a Heavenly Pillar Mountain, the end became increasingly invisible, yet firmly supporting those above.
As the climb continued, their field of vision grew higher and more expansive.
Li Fan gazed far into the distance, sensing in the darkness peaks akin to theirs.
And in the farthest place, invisible to sight, a majestic mountain stood tall.
Could not behold its pinnacle.
Just slightly lower than the endless High Wall.
“That is…”
“An Immortal from the Immortal Ruins?”
Glancing back into the distance, a surge of realization rose in Li Fan’s heart.
Li Fan had learned from the memories of the Law King of the Mystic Sky Sect that the King of Mystic Sky had once told the members of the sect that he had found a way to lead everyone, even the entire Xuanhuang World, out of the Abyss Star Ocean.
Yet it was an endeavor that only a True Immortal could undertake.
“This is the gap between Immortals and Mortals.”
“Mundanes are forever beneath. Only by Ascension to Immortality can one stand atop the pinnacle.”
“The process of Cultivation is also a step-by-step climb. But with the arrival of the Great Calamity, the mountains that could have been inhabited also collapsed.”
“Without mountains, the path is obscured. Even if one may fly across the sky for a moment, they ultimately cannot linger long in that realm.”
Using the might of the Ruined World The Wall, he reached a height that would normally be impossible. It was like prematurely ascending a peak of a realm that no longer exists, and a myriad of realizations from an era that did not belong to this time welled up in Li Fan’s heart.
“The difference between Immortal and Mortal is thus.”
“And the High Wall…”
Li Fan shifted his gaze towards the far distance.
Majestic and continuous, like The Wall pressing horizontally across the Vault of Heaven.
With no visible beginning or end, the peaks and valleys hidden from sight.
Just standing there, obstructing the view.
Inducing despair.
Had he not personally witnessed the High Wall crumbling before, Li Fan, who now beheld this grand scene, might have succumbed to demons in his heart—recalling the existence of the High Wall would involuntarily breed fear.
And judging by the expressions of the Elders of the Immortal Boat nearby, it seemed to be the case.
Their initial pride and ambition had vanished. Their faces bore only endless panic and awe.
However, among them, there seemed to be some Secret Technique.
They formed a circle and joined their wills.
Before long, they all snapped out of their stupor.
Li Fan also put on the guise of just waking up.
“No more advancement is possible.”
Zhong Daogong sighed and then looked towards the distance, seemingly searching for signs left by the Merchant Immortal Boat.
Li Fan patiently waited.
A good half a day passed before Zhong Daogong pointed in a certain direction and said with a serious tone, “Fellow Daoist, can you sense the anomaly over there?”
Li Fan followed Zhong Daogong’s direction.
At first glance, it seemed no different from the surrounding scenery.
But after a careful contemplation, Li Fan indeed found some clues.
Li Fan stretched out his hand as if wanting to touch something very far away.
“This place… is distorted.”
“Is this the trajectory left by the collision of the Merchant Immortal Boat from that year?”
Li Fan’s tone was indistinct.
He caressed the engravings in space, hovering in mid-air.
Before his eyes appeared the vision of a magnificent half Immortal Boat, resolutely charging forward.
Then there was an earth-shattering burst of light.

And then came another earth-shattering burst of light.
