My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 834: Chapter 796 Hunger and Chaos Share the Same Origin

Still anchored to the first year!

Still at the top of Dissociative Mountain!

An invisible fluctuation erupted from Li Fan, who was at the mid-stage Golden Core.

Although his eyes were still somewhat bloodshot, that feeling of hunger had indeed weakened a lot!

Having prepared in advance, Li Fan immediately started running the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra.

Once again, he silently struggled against this deadly hunger.

The feeling of hunger was merely reduced, but for Li Fan, it was a great relief.

In the eight years of his previous life, he himself didn’t know how he had persevered.

If it weren’t for the boost from the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra and his obsession with [Longevity].

He might have given up on himself and devoured everything within the Da Xuan Minor World!

Li Fan didn’t know what the consequences of such an act would have been.

But he vaguely felt that if he really did that, the outcome wouldn’t be much better than that of the remains above the Immortal Ruins!

With eight years of torment in his previous life, Li Fan’s patience in facing the reduced hunger was now much stronger.

He was able to think about other things while no longer able to fight against the hunger.

“It still doesn’t decrease with the passage of time… It seems I can only rely on [Real] to lessen its impact,” Li Fan thought to himself.

This time, he chose to inherit the option to speed up the charging process.

So by the time he anchored to four years, [Real] was already fully charged.

With great determination, Li Fan maintained his clarity of thought while using the escape technique to reach Yi Yin’s tomb and absorb the Huadao Stone.

Then he activated Even True.

He returned to Dissociative Mountain anchored to the first year, and this time Li Fan’s eyes were no longer bloodshot.

Even without the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra, he could suppress the hunger using his own willpower.

“The degree to which the effect has been reduced has increased quite a bit.”

“But it still exists.”

“It seems I need to go through it one more time.”

Li Fan couldn’t help but squint: “Four consecutive uses of [Real] are needed to completely eliminate the negative impact.”

“Is this the price of facing a True Immortal?”

Without a doubt, the remains Li Fan saw in the Immortal Ruins belonged to the legendary True Immortal.

Moreover, because the other party opened its eyes, it’s hard to say whether it was really dead.

After all, everything Li Fan had experienced already showed the horrors of a [True Immortal]. It simply couldn’t be considered with common sense.

“It’s just like the [Mark] left behind after I was devoured for ten years in Yuandao State.”

“There indeed exist things in this world that can still affect me after I activate [Real].”

“But this does not mean that the being hovering over Yuandao State or the so-called [True Immortal] are of a higher rank than [Real].”

“It’s just because I am the vessel for [Real].”

“Since my memory won’t be erased in the process of Even True, it is not absolute or pure.”

“These negative factors only continue to exist after Even True because they accompany me.”

“Just like the Transformation Crystal Body in my Spirit Consciousness. Every life doesn’t need special preservation, as long as I integrate with the Taoist Divine One, I can bring the growth back to the predetermined anchor point.”

“Divine Consciousness and Divine Soul are the same.”

“Although the actual growth is also reduced after Even True, this is the fundamental reason I can continually grow stronger with each reincarnation.”

Li Fan suppressed the hunger solely with the power of his will while slowly pondering.

The diversion of attention also had an extraordinary effect in shaking off the hunger.

Recalling the experiences of his life-before-last, Li Fan contemplated plans for his future actions.

He witnessed the moves of the Celestial Dharma Bearer.

And saw the power of a True Immortal.

As his horizons broadened, Li Fan’s approach to acting also had to change accordingly.

Soon, it was the fourth year anchor again.

After absorbing another low-quality Huadao Stone, making the Transformation Crystal Body in his Spirit Consciousness even more dazzling and bright.

Li Fan once again activated [Real].

When he returned to the Dissociative Mountain Peak for the umpteenth time,

his body and spirit consciousness showed no signs of abnormalities.

Not daring to relax his vigilance, Li Fan carefully examined himself up and down.

He then circulated the Violet Firmament Grand Intent, purifying his divine soul.

Eliminating all possible hidden dangers.

Thus, a whole year passed by.

At the mountaintop, by the cliff’s edge,

Li Fan faced the Morning Sun bursting forth above the Cloud Sea, and slowly exhaled.

“Numerous activations of [Real], all summed up to just more than a decade.”

“But it truly feels as if ages have passed, even longer than the years spent in Hundred Generations of Foundation Building.”

“[Hunger]…”

In an instant, the intricate symbol appeared in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness, seen upon the barren lands of the Immortal Ruins.

Not daring to recklessly attempt anything, he dared only to ponder it in his mind.

“In the midst of the White Mist, on the broken stone atop the center of the Enshrouded Realm, I saw a [Chaos] character.”

“Above the Immortal Ruins, there actually exists a [Hunger] character.”

“This [Hunger] character could very well be the ultimate reason why the Immortal Ruins constantly attract external objects.”

“Immortal Law?”

“That’s a bit too terrifying.”

Li Fan’s eyelids twitched slightly.

Steadying his spirit, he felt that something was off.

“The [Hunger] character within the Immortal Ruins is a complex symbol. Although I do not understand its meaning, the instant I saw it, I naturally understood what it represented.”

“The [Chaos] character within the Enshrouded Realm of White Mist, however, is the same as the common script used in the Immortal Cultivation World.”

“The [Hunger] character can lead countless worlds of Cultivating Immortality to a dead end.”

“And the [Chaos] character I encountered allows even the Monsters, who are not even of the Unity-Path, to survive…”

Li Fan, lost in thought, suddenly understood, “It’s not the original [Chaos].”

“It is an imitation by someone who witnessed the Immortal Law [Chaos].”

Upon arriving at this conclusion, Li Fan instantly fell silent.

Even the poorly copied third-rate imitation he had used caused a considerable stir in the Xuanhuang World.

So what about the real [Chaos] character?

One that can be compared to the [Hunger] atop the Immortal Ruins,

how terrifying would its power be?

Fairies are, after all, oppressed by one [Hunger] character, their fates unknown.

The cessation of the path to immortality.

The mysterious disconnection of other Immortal Cultivation Worlds.

Could all this be related to [Chaos]?

In an instant, Li Fan fell into endless contemplation.

This time, he had gained too much.

So much so that it impacted him beyond what his vision could handle.

In truth, it wasn’t entirely beneficial.

After all, even the Celestial Dharma Bearer did not know how to contend with it.

Let alone True Immortals who are above Heavenly Sovereigns.

“One must not aim too high.”

“It is essential to take things step by step and first find a way out of the life-and-death crisis in the Xuanhuang World.”

It took quite some time before Li Fan regained his composure.

He thought somewhat wistfully.
