My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1226 - 1179: The Origin Force of the Immortal

The material of the command flag Magic Treasure was nothing rare, and it wasn’t selected specifically for its value in this sea of artifacts.

"Could it be because the side effects have faded from the True Immortal Seal Character Power on it?"

A thought struck Li Fan, and he suddenly understood.

As he slowly caressed the command flag, he sensed a familiar aura.

"Secret Technique of [Chaos]..."

"Only, with the passage of time, even the power of the True Immortal Seal Characters had eventually reached its end."

A complete [Chaos] character suddenly appeared in his Spirit Consciousness, and moments later, the hand that Sacred Embryo Li Fan used to hold the command flag stiffened slightly.

Because he discovered that just then, the last trace of power attached to the command flag had completely dissipated.

In its place was his own understanding of the Secret Technique of [Chaos], which seemed a bit deeper!

This progress was extremely subtle.

However, Li Fan’s own comprehension of the [Chaos] technique had been basic, akin to copying from a model, so it seemed relatively more significant and was instantly captured by Li Fan.

"Could it actually become material for Enlightenment?"

Sacred Embryo Li Fan couldn’t help feeling a bit shaken, and now when he looked at the countless floating artifacts here, his gaze was markedly different.

"However, it’s regrettable that only those artifacts on the verge of dissipating their True Immortal Seal Character Power can be used as Enlightenment nourishment. Otherwise, there is a risk of harm. The method to differentiate them..."

Sacred Embryo Li Fan turned his gaze toward that hidden refuge.

For the next half-year, Li Fan stayed hidden in the dark. Whenever cultivators went out to collect artifacts, he replicated their methods.

He sent out his divided spirit to attach to those collected artifacts.

One reason was to study the method of triggering the alarms, and the other was to obtain all possible True Immortal Seal Characters’ Enlightenment artifacts.

In the Xuanhuang World, the Final Separation Disk within the spirit consciousness was going all out, deciphering the unknown Array Technique.

And through the study of the eight artifacts he had obtained, Sacred Embryo Li Fan became even more convinced of his conclusion.

The other surviving civilization in this Abyss Star Ocean collected these artifacts precisely to study and even utilize the power of the True Immortal Seal Characters.

"To think that they have a way to discern the degree of this power..."

"It seems the strength here is not to be underestimated."

Of these eight artifacts, three came from [Chaos], two from [Hunger].

As for the remaining two, they were influenced by other, currently unknown True Immortal Seal Characters.

And Li Fan also noticed the difference among them.

He had personally seen the original form of [Chaos] and [Hunger], and even if they were reproductions by unknown persons, he had essentially understood their origins. Thus, he could smoothly absorb the remaining power on the Enlightenment artifacts, turning it into nourishment for Enlightenment.

The situation with the other two artifacts was vastly different.

Relying only on that fading remaining power, it was difficult even to sense their nature, let alone perceive their essence next.

To utilize them, their efficiency was far worse compared to [Chaos] and [Hunger], by more than ten thousand times?

"This is the difference between top-down and bottom-up. Knowing the original true meaning of True Immortal Seal Characters, from a high position, understanding one enlightens all."

"Whereas if you start from knowing nothing, like a blind man groping an elephant, slowly exploring and studying on your own..."

"It’s as difficult as reaching heaven! With mere mortal efforts, fantasizing about probing the power of True Immortals..."

At the same time, Li Fan thought deeply.

"Not all cultivators have ample opportunities to personally witness the original true meaning of True Immortal Seal Characters."

"The Secret of the [Chaos] rune, hidden within the White Mist’s twisting Mystical Realm, is something ordinary people might never encounter in their lifetime. As for the Secret of the [Hunger] rune, it is engraved in the Immortal Ruins! To see it is to die. If it weren’t for my Hai Zhen, I couldn’t possibly have mastered it."

"There is also the Secret Technique of [Vanish], which I discovered by chance in a golden skull in a destroyed Small World..."

Li Fan looked at the hidden civilization in the shadows, and a thought naturally emerged.

"So-called rare commodities can be valued; these fundamental truths might hold even higher value in this civilization than I imagined."

...

More than thirty days later, the Final Separation Disk finally managed to overcome the trigger mechanism of the warning.

To be safe, Sacred Embryo Li Fan did not take the risk personally.

Instead, he still used a divided spirit to probe.

Throughout this half-year, although he had severed many soul parts, the vicinity of this civilization’s hiding place seemed to contain a peculiar power.

It could fend off various strange invasions from the Void, thus the recovery rate of Sacred Embryo Li Fan was also very fast.

Severing a part of his spirit had become only a minor pain for him.

The Final Separation Disk indeed proved to be trustworthy.

This time, the relic attached to the divided spirit successfully passed the inspection and entered the tunnel’s interior.

The sensitivity became much weaker, but he could barely sense the situation inside the hiding place.

The three-person team, out collecting relics, continued to drag a black rope forward and, after passing three protective inspections of the tunnels, finally entered a safe area.

They couldn’t wait to remove their armor, complaining loudly.

"The useful relics near the Immortal Boat are getting scarcer. This time we found so little..."

"Next mission, we might have to leave the safe zone."

"Have we been staying here for a hundred years? I wonder why we haven’t moved yet."

"It’s said that there were plans to change the docking spot, but recently... "

"Shh, better to discuss less. Wu Xing got confined for ten years just for talking about it."

The three very wisely avoided discussing further.

Taking their findings, they continued deeper into the hiding place.

"Immortal Boat?" Li Fan pondered upon hearing their discussion.

After passing through a narrow, dimly lit tunnel, the view suddenly opened up dramatically.

They had arrived at a valley, picturesque with clear mountains and waters.

Ahead, an elderly man with white hair, holding a strange magic tool resembling a book, was waiting for the three of them.

"Let’s see this time..." The elder’s face initially beamed with a smile, but upon seeing the number of relics behind the trio, his expression instantly darkened.

"Elder, forgive us, it really was bad luck this outing," said the oldest-looking cultivator among the three, forcing a smile.

The elder shook his head and sighed, end up saying little else.

The magic tool in his hands emitted a beam of light that enveloped all the relics.

As the light retracted, it seemed to complete the inspection of the relics.

"Try to make up for it next time."

"You all know the situation with the Immortal Boat—if it’s missing one or two pieces like this each time, it’s still manageable in the short term. But if it drags on, who else but all of us would suffer?" the elder coldly snorted.

The older cultivator did not argue but merely nodded repeatedly.

"Help me deliver the relics to the Broken Immortal Tower," the elder then instructed.
