My Simulated Road to Immortality

“At that time, we were young after all. We thought we had hidden deep enough, but we never realized that the real powerhouse could peer into our cultivation’s techniques through a single drop of blood.”

“The technique of the Mystic Sky Sect is divided from top to bottom into four levels: Mystic (Xuan), Sky (Tian), Earth (Di), and Yellow (Huang). The four techniques we obtained from those ruins were all of the highest Mystic level.”

“Not only are they incredibly profound and spiritual, not inferior to the true inheritance of the Great Taoist Sect. There’s also a remarkable feature that made even Ji Changxi, the Sect Leader of the Great Taoist Sect, palpitate with eagerness.”

“It is rumored that the techniques of the Mystic Sky Sect all originated from the Mystic Sky Sect’s treasure: the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror. Therefore, if one cultivates to a deep enough level, they can establish a connection with the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror.”

“Even though Ji Changxi wished to capture us on the spot and forcefully probe our souls for information back then, he knew that the techniques of the Mystic Sky Sect had their own secrecy mechanisms. If outsiders wanted to forcefully spy upon it, they would only obtain distorted, altered versions of the incorrect techniques.”

“Only willing practitioners, who would personally write it down, could convey it properly. And at that time, his power was merely at the late stages of the Unity-Path, hardly stronger than myself. If forced, his chances of victory were not high.”

“So, he decided to play a long game… to catch a big fish.”

“Ji Changxi,” he suddenly sneered, “On one hand, he purposely sent us out on various missions to suppress our growth in strength. Meanwhile, he utilized the authority and resources available to him as the Sect Leader to enhance his own cultivation.”

“On the other hand, he scoured all kinds of classics, trying to find a way to decipher the encrypted techniques of the Mystic Sky Sect.”

“Actually, he almost succeeded. From the secret stash of the Great Taoist Sect, Ji Changxi found a legacy left behind after the Mystic Sky Sect was annihilated in the past.”

“Among them was a secret technique called [Replace the Heaven]. It was used by the Mystic Sky Sect to deal with traitors. Not only could it completely strip away the enemy’s techniques and cultivation, but it could also transplant the realms and strengths acquired from the Mystic Sky Sect’s techniques onto oneself.”

“So, the day we returned to the sect, he couldn’t wait to summon me to meet him…”

Ji Changxi’s face underwent a series of transformations, distorted by the light and shadow, returning to the stunning visage of Sister Zhao.

“Unfortunately for him, he had failed to take into account that I was cultivating not one but multiple Mystic Sky Sect techniques.”

“And what he had failed to foresee even more was that I had long held a grudge against him for wanting to replace him.”

Sister Zhao reached out and caressed Li Fan’s face. Her eyes were foggy, “Junior Brother, do you know the kind of pain one feels when soaked in tens of thousands of drops of blood filled with the [Immortal Plague]?”

“Even our Sect Leader Ji couldn’t resist it.”

“The only regret is that the damage caused by the [Immortal Plague] was too severe, and I had to abandon some parts.”

Sister Zhao gently licked her lips, seemingly reminiscing about the delicious taste of that time.

“In ‘The Secret of Only I Through the Ages,’ once one reaches the final stage, there will be nothing left in the world but me. The technique is so evil that junior brother didn’t choose it.”

“Now, do you feel some regret, junior brother?” Sister Zhao asked softly.

A flicker of regret did flash through Li Fan’s heart.

However, he hardened his resolve and sneered, “Hmph, what’s the use of regret? What’s done is done, and there’s no chance to do it over again…”

Li Fan suddenly stopped.

Just then, a peculiar sensation swelled up in his heart in that instant.

It seemed as if he truly had the power to turn everything around if he so wished.

But…

Upon careful reflection, he couldn’t identify where this feeling originated from. He couldn’t help but feel a touch of loss and confusion.

Sister Zhao didn’t detect the strangeness in Li Fan’s heart.

She continued speaking on her own, “Every drink and every meal is predetermined. So, junior brother, all of this was destined.”

“I was vaguely aware of Ji Changxi’s malice in my heart. To protect our lives, I secretly cultivated ‘The Secret of Only I Through the Ages,’ hoping to find a glimmer of life within his calculations.”

“This technique is indeed domineering, implementing the words ‘Only I’ to the fullest. After I started cultivating it, even the memory of this technique in your Spirit Consciousness was gradually erased.”

“After I successfully turned Sect Leader Ji into a part of me, I finally understood.”

“This is our destiny, this is my fate.”

“There are too many unimportant people in this world filled with strife.”

“So, if only I remain, that’s enough.”

“The so-called Unity of Thousands, but one heart.”

As the words came out, the faces of all the figures in the Great Taoist Sect turned into the visage of Sister Zhao.

“Junior brother, do you still love me?”

“Merge with your Sister, and we will never part again.”

They looked at Li Fan with deep affection, all speaking in unison.

Li Fan didn’t respond, but faced them solemnly.

A dazzling radiance, black with multicolored hues, emerged above his head.

Finally, it took the shape of a flying blade.

At the same time, Li Fan’s aura suddenly exploded outwards.

From Mortal, he climbed upwards.

Refining Energy, Foundation Establishment, Gold Core…

Only when he reached the peak of God Transformation did he finally stop.

It turns out that Li Fan had long since broken through the seals and restrictions on his body.

This was achieved through the Dual Cultivation he had just undertaken with Sister Zhao.

“I thought that junior brother missed me for so long, and couldn’t wait to perform Dual Cultivation with me.”

“I didn’t expect that you had other intentions and harbored ill intentions.”

Despite her words, Sister Zhao seemed to have long noticed Li Fan’s movements, and there was no surprise in her tone.

“What? Junior brother, do you think that if you regain your strength, you can fight me?”

She looked at Li Fan with interest, “Who gave you the courage?”

“Was it the [Soul Annihilation Blade] from ‘The Technique of Severing Souls and Illuminating the Spirit’?”

Li Fan did not directly respond to Sister Zhao’s teasing. Instead, his expression turned serious, and the glowing multi-coloured black [Soul Annihilation Blade] continued to flicker, ready to spring into action.

This [Soul Annihilation Blade] is the ultimate killing move from ‘The Technique of Severing Souls and Illuminating the Spirit.’ Even though the name sounds plain, it’s a dangerous technique that uses the caster’s Divine Soul as a sacrifice.

“Unity of Thousands. When you walk this path to the end, you’ll surely be able to go Contrary to the Logic of Heaven and Earth, wouldn’t you?”

“Sister, you truly are a rare talent. It’s a pity…”

“Your Path isn’t My Path.”

“I once said that I was willing to become Dao-companions with sisters for eternity, together we would achieve Longevity and live in leisure.”

“This statement came from my heart and has not changed to this day.”

Li Fan’s eyes were full of memories as he sighed.

At the exact moment that Sister Zhao was slightly taken aback!

A brilliant light suddenly emerged from his body.

It illuminated the sky above the entire Taoist Sect.

Even the millions of Sister Zhao’s bodies couldn’t help but close their eyes at this moment.
