My Simulated Road to Immortality

“No matter what, they were great warriors who fought and died with honor for the Immortal Alliance. How could the higher-ups possibly let those shameless scoundrels defile their bodies?”

The lazy cultivator suddenly got a bit uppity, “How is it a groundless rumor? I saw it with my own eyes!”

“That guy Zhang Debiao, relying on the orders of the Immortal Alliance, led a group of people to openly collect bodies. The storage rings, still-usable magic treasures on their bodies, weren’t they all quietly taken by them?”

“I even heard that the remaining Gold Cores and Cave Heaven World Fragments in their bodies were all extracted by these people!”

“You came down from the battlefield too, you know how baleful the Battle of Heavenly Spirit State was. Those bodies were almost all incomplete or deformed; how could they be collected properly? Weren’t they just burnt to ashes, leaving only some dust behind as proof? Who could spot that?”

“The saying goes bystanders do not stand up, officials do not investigate. The ordinary cultivators are almost all loners, if they die, they die, who really cares?”

The lazy cultivator is merciless and unrestrained in his speech, while Lao Sun’s face on the side slowly darkens.

Suddenly, he felt a chill rising from his back. Seeing Lao Sun’s expression, the lazy cultivator shivered unconsciously, instinctively shutting his mouth.

It was only when the other man’s gaze shifted from him that he finally felt a sense of relief, letting out a silent sigh.

He nearly forgot the legend of the man in front of him due to their usual interactions.

His name was Sun Qi.

On the surface, he appeared to be a Golden Core Realm Cultivator just like them, tasked with standing guard.

Normally, he was very affable, giving off an impression of being quite docile.

But Sun Qi was indeed a ruthless man.

He was a local cultivator of the Heavenly Spirit State, and was drafted at the start of the war.

No one knows whether it was by stroke of luck or some other reason, numerous Nascent Soul Monks fell during the war.

Yet against all odds, he, a mere Gold Core, managed to survive.

The kind of person who could carve a bloody path out of a battlefield of corpses and a sea of blood would always emit a chilling aura. Usually, it lay dormant, but once they were truly angry, it scared people senseless. Seeing this unfold, the lazy monk wisely chose to no longer provoke the man.

Meanwhile, Li Fan, who was hiding and observing in mid-air, noticed Sun Qi’s gaze sweeping over the area where he was hiding.

His interest in this man grew stronger.

He immediately initiated the Formless Killing Machine, locking onto the man.

Watching the look of surprise and uncertainty on Sun Qi’s face as he abruptly flew around to inspect his surroundings, only to come up short, Li Fan couldn’t help but smirk lightly.

For now, he will leave him be. Silently, Li Fan flew to a desolate, collapsed mountain range that appeared as though it had been steamrolled from the sky.

As per usual, he delved deep into the ground, excavating a secret room.

After sealing it, Li Fan closed his eyes and began to check his status.

…

“Hu!”

Li Fan let out a light sigh.

He could sense an overwhelming and pure vitality surging out from various parts of his body, nourishing his flesh.

The spiritual energy was incessant and infinite.

In his Dantian, where his Gold Core used to be, he could vaguely see the outlines of five Cave Heavens reflecting each other.

“Is this the Nascent Soul Realm? Ascending to it has turned the world upside down!”

To test the difference from the Golden Core Stage, Li Fan used his most powerful divine technique as soon as possible.

Using his hand as a brush, he was writing in mid-air.

Simultaneously, he was feeling the changes in his body.

Writing the upper left part of the character “Chaos,” he still had energy to spare.

The endless spiritual power and vitality burst out from his Cave Heavens, providing the support he needed to manifest the Word Confusion Technique without breaking his body.

Li Fan continued writing, completing half of it in a blink of an eye.

In the underground secret room, the surrounding soil was affected, rising up and shaking continuously, dense as a mortal army.

Upon further observation, the vibration frequency of each particle was completely different.

What seemed orderly was actually chaotic.

Li Fan’s eyes narrowed, and his hand in mid-air suddenly stopped.

“I have a grasp of it.”

“Entering the Nascent Soul Realm, I no longer have to worry about physical damage. I can finally launch this killing technique completely.”

“However, I still cannot use it continuously without any concern, or else…”

Li Fan felt the slightly vibrating Five Elements Cave Heaven inside his body, a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

“The power of the Chaos character is truly terrifying.”

“As the one casting the spell and possessing the Five Elements Cave Heaven, I still suffer such a backlash. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would likely have their Nascent Soul Cave Heaven collapse instantly if they were slightly affected.”

“I wonder if a God Transforming cultivator can withstand me.”

The Secret Technique of [Chaos] was something Li Fan enlightened himself with in the Enshrouded Realm of White Fog.

Very profound, the more his cultivation improved, the more Li Fan felt the extraordinariness of the character “Chaos”.

“Even my clumsy imitation has such power.”

“I cannot imagine how terrifying the real Secret Technique of [Chaos] would be.”

“It seems to have already exceeded the limit that ordinary cultivators can master. Could it be that…”

Li Fan furrowed his brows, falling silent in thought.

After a while, he put his thoughts aside for the moment, his attention was once again focused on the [Sword of Reversed Elemental] in the [Even True] divine technique panel.

The [Sword of Reversed Elemental] came into being as Li Fan observed the [Root of Heaven and Earth] weave the Five Elements Cave Heaven, combined with the scene of the Unity of Five Elements in his past life. It was a divine technique realized from his insights.

It combined the essence of the [Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword], not only possessing the destructive power that annihilates everything but also the ability to bring about life out of nothingness, creating vitality.

Nonchalantly, Li Fan picked up an insect next to him that was on its last breath due to the aftermath of the Word Confusion Technique.

A gentle milky-white glow gushed out from his palm.

After a while, the insect bathed in the white light miraculously revived.

Struggling to turn its body over, it hurriedly flew out of Li Fan’s hand.

Li Fan did not pay attention to this little bug that escaped death. He was pondering thoughtfully: “Reviving from near-death is mundane. Other medical skills can also easily accomplish that.”

“The truly formidable aspect of the [Sword of Reversed Elemental] lies in creation.”

He took out a Spirit Stone from his storage ring and held it in his left hand.

Radiant light continued to emanate from his right hand.

After about half a day, when the light dissipated, a Spirit Stone that looked identical to the one in his left hand slowly appeared.
