My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1271 - 123 Outsiders of the Immortal Boat
"I’ve also seen that cultivator from the Broken Immortal Tower who is said to have ascended through the New Method. It’s said it took him merely three years. Moreover, his control over the Power of the True Immortal is not inferior to mine," Yu Shuo’s tone was inexplicably somber.
"Given that, why do you seem to still harbor many doubts?"
"Because in the entire Broken Immortal Tower, among those who are said to have ’ascended’ and have publicly made an appearance, the Power of the True Immortal they wield is all of the same kind," Yu Shuo said in a ghostly tone.
"What does that imply?" Zhao Xian was somewhat puzzled.
Yu Shuo glanced at Zhao Xian, his expression mysterious. After a long silence, he finally spoke with equanimity, "Remember, Zhao Xian, never take dealing with the Power of the True Immortal lightly."
"The deeper one progresses in ascension, the more perilous it becomes for oneself."
Yu Shuo didn’t explain directly but instead said this seemingly out of the blue.
"Let’s end today’s lesson here. Next time, it’ll be Nangong’s turn." As Yu Shuo’s voice faded, so did his figure, disappearing from sight.
Yet Zhao Xian stood still, pondering over Yu Shuo’s last words.
A flash of insight in his Spirit Consciousness made him understand the underlying meaning in an instant.
"The Power of the True Immortal is like a net; although one can harness the True Immortal’s Net, the result is that one can only sink deeper and deeper…"
Zhao Xian, suddenly enlightened to this truth, felt as if doused with a basin of cold water in winter, chill spreading throughout his body.
"If that’s the case, could it be that not only my Path Validation Academy but also the entire Mystic Immortal Boat is…"

But soon, Zhao Xian bitterly smiled.
"For survival, we’re forced to take the risks. After all, survival is the foremost priority that must be maintained for the Immortal Boat. Moreover, having roamed the Star Sea for so many years, we’ve only seen remnants of the True Immortal Power, never glimpsing a True Immortal itself. There is indeed risk, but it can be temporarily disregarded."
At the same time, Zhao Xian also understood what Yu Shuo meant by the peculiarity of the Broken Immortal Tower.
In the Abyss Star Ocean, various remnants of True Immortal Power were mixed together.
If one truly mastered a harmless and perfect method to absorb the World Destruction Relics, then the ascension performance of those cultivators from the Broken Immortal Tower should also display various states to match.
After all, not everyone is able to adapt to the same remnants of True Immortal Power.
In the Abyss Star Ocean, the known varieties of True Immortal Power identified by the Immortal Boat are no less than five. The three Leading Figures of the Path Validation Academy each have different ascension paths.
Yet, the power demonstrated by the six ascended cultivators currently known from the Broken Immortal Tower is all the same.
Such probability exists, but it’s very small.
"Either the technique they have mastered is only effective for a single type of True Immortal Power."
"Or..."
A chill ran through Zhao Xian’s heart, and he dared not think further.
For now, his academy’s task for him was to first stabilize his Nascent Soul Stage, and then attempt to achieve God Transformation Realm once more.
After succeeding in the God Transformation, he would then start to slowly try "ascension."
"Ascension should be neither too soon nor too late."
"If one comes into contact with the Power of the True Immortal too early, a frail Divine Soul and will, can hardly withstand the overwhelming power of the True Immortal. There’s a high probability of becoming a deranged, deformed monster."
"And if it’s too late..."
"The traditional Unity-Path Realm, when merged with the remaining Heavenly Dao Laws of this Star Sea, will provoke a violent rejection with the Way of the True Immortal, making the difficulty of ’ascension’ increase manifold."
The teachings of Nangong Lie, the master of the Path Validation Academy, echoed in Zhao Xian’s Spirit Consciousness.
"For now, the academy won’t push too hard. The pressing matter is to enhance one’s own strength as quickly as possible."
"Although the tribulation of the trapped infant showed I would only break through after the age of fifty, the master said that the constraints of the broken Heavens in the Sea of Relics is not absolute. With the foundation of the academy and the accumulations in the dreams, defying fate is far from difficult."
Zhao Xian was confident about this.
In fact, many details of the future dreams Zhao Xian initially experienced have substantially diverged from reality. Under normal circumstances, with careful thought, Zhao Xian should have noticed this discrepancy long ago.
However, influenced by some presence that had always been subtly at play, Zhao Xian had inadvertently and deliberately overlooked these inconsistencies.
Let alone a mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even the three Leading Figures of the Mystic Immortal Boat’s Path Validation Academy are probably no match for Li Fan when it comes to manipulating the hearts of men.
At this moment, Li Fan’s Split, using Zhao Xian’s privileges, was amassing vast amounts of hidden knowledge within the Path Validation Academy.
All records related to the power of True Immortals were hidden. Untraceable.
Regarding the history of the Mystic Immortal Boat, there was little concealment.
Consistent with what he had learned earlier, the Mystic Immortal Boat was indeed split from the Immortal Boat of the Mysterious Merchant.
More detailed though, was that the primary cause of the discord within the Immortal Boat was an outsider.
An outsider who quickly earned the trust of over half the Immortal Boat.
Even deluded into attempting to cross the Invisible Wall blocking the Abyss Star Ocean.
At a critical moment, a certain Immortal Boat Monk named Cai Zhengjun, who would later become the first head of the Immortal Axis Institute of the Mystic Immortal Boat, promptly led others to prevent this self-destructive act.
Nevertheless, it ultimately led to a fierce battle that tore the Immortal Boat apart.
Regarding that outsider, there were only a few brief records. His real identity remained a mystery.
Regarding the situation in the Sea of Obscured Stars, the Path Validation Academy had many detailed descriptions.
Besides the space-time maps recorded during the years of drifting and fleeing of the Mystic Immortal Boat, there were unique discussions regarding the Sea of Relics and the High Wall.
"Deeper within the Sea of Relics, near the location of the Invisible Wall, lies the graveyard of worlds, the burial site of the Star Sea. The terrifying Suction Force stemming from the center of the Star Sea, spanning across it, is blocked by the High Wall. Over time, influenced by the mysterious power of the High Wall, the suction becomes like fixed tides, forming a reverse force field."
"The closer one gets to the High Wall, the stronger the suction becomes. After numerous unsuccessful explorations, the Immortal Boat has given up on further investigation."
...
Li Fan was overjoyed to accidentally find this report.
Perhaps due to its unique location, the knowledge of the Mystic Immortal Boat regarding the Abyss Star Ocean was much more extensive than that of the Xuanhuang World.
"Below the High Wall, locked tides, World Fragments?"
Li Fan envisioned an endless vista of shattered worlds spanning across the Death Silence in his Spirit Consciousness.
"So, the existence I originally thought to be in the Depths of the Star Sea, comparable to the Suction Force of the Ruins of Immortality, was merely the reflection of the suction from the Abyss Star Ocean by the High Wall?"
Although slightly disappointed, Li Fan was relieved.
After all, as long as it wasn’t another True Immortal, everything was negotiable.
"An Invisible Wall, capable of completely blocking the force of the Secret Technique of [Hunger] and even causing it to converge in the opposite direction."
"What kind of inconceivable might is this?"
