My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 480 – Mysterious Skills Swallow the Leyline

Chapter 480: Chapter 452: Mysterious Skills Swallow the Leyline

Seeing Jiao Xiuyuan agree readily, Li Fan nodded, “In that case, I’ll leave this to you, Fellow Daoist Jiao. I’ll look forward to hearing good news from you!”

Having said so, he threw a Communication Talisman to Jiao Xiuyuan without mentioning anything about a receipt and left straight away.

“This man seems to trust me a lot.” Jiao Xiuyuan muttered to himself, tossing the Eye of Breaking Delusion Stone in his hand.

The very next moment, the stone eye disappeared into thin air. Where it went was unknown.

The puppet on Ten Thousand Immortals Island reverted back to its previously slothful state.

Little did Jiao Xiuyuan know that it wasn’t because Li Fan trusted him deeply.

In reality, this Eye of Breaking Delusion Stone was solely used by Li Fan to establish ties with him. Whether he couldn’t sell it or even if he gulp it down, Li Fan didn’t care much. What he truly cared about was the ‘big deal’ that followed.

Back inside the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan recalled another item he found in the ruins of the Heavenly Machine Sect.

He had chopped off and brought back an entire tier of a tower.

His initial premonition had been correct.

Upon the appraisal by the Tianxuan Mirror, it turned out that the entire stone tier was a magical tool known as [Qiankun Tianji Dice].

Mortals roll dice to get numbers five and six.

But cultivators roll dice to foretell the mysteries of heaven.

The ancient Heavenly Machines Sect monks relied on this Qiankun Tianji Dice. With enough information as the foundation and using breath-sense as the propulsion, they deduced the countless possibilities of the future.

The reason why Li Fan only saw emptiness was because the Qiankun Tianji Dice had been frozen in the scene at the end of the prediction exercise.

“A void.”

“I wonder what the Heavenly Machine Sect cultivators were trying to predict that resulted in such an outcome,” Li Fan said.

Li Fan reached out and a crystal clear regular icosahedron dice appeared in his palm.

On each side, under careful observation, there could be seen different images flashing.

Although Li had previously tried to predict the future several times using the Qiankun Tianji Dice to see if it corresponded to his past experiences.

Perhaps due to incorrect usage, the results were always fragments of unintelligible images of no practical use.

Despite this, Li Fan didn’t sell it. He always had a feeling that it may come in handy in the future.

After playing with the dice and storing it away, Li Fan’s mind moved onto his clone, “Zhou Qingang”.

He had been staying on Taian Island these days, communicating with necessary people only occasionally through Communication Talisman.

He was not idling around, but was looking for methods to overcome the side effects of the [Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique].

This secret technique imitates the skill created by the ancient exotic beast, the Returning Origin Toad. While it does have the power to devour heaven and earth, the mind is extremely prone to losing control. The ultimate outcome would be either to overeat and explode oneself or to be discovered and killed by others.

However, Li Fan possessed a power that could keep him in a state of absolute sanity.

It was the power of the Blue Flame that came from the Illusion Spirit.

He did not need to remain calm all the time during the process of devouring heaven and earth, he just needed to stop at the right time.

With the help of the Enlightenment Pill and his Enlightening State, Li Fan had spent some time and finally was able to achieve this.

However, in order to increase his cultivation level through the Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique, he also needed to solve the problem of the hardened ley lines that could not be absorbed.

For this, Li Fan had already prepared a plan.

After disguising himself and teleporting to the Western Spirit Wood Island of the Misthaven Ocean, he continued flying westward.

About five hundred miles later, Li Fan discreetly dived into the sea.

Deep into the sea bed, he searched for a while and indeed found the remains of a sunken island.

In his last life, not long after, this island would resurface due to inexplicable changes in the ley line.

The Island Protection Array that will once again be activated will also attract the attention of several Array Masters from the Array Strategy Hall of the Misthaven Ocean.

However, before any of that had happened, this place looked no different from other ruins scattered on the seabed.

Li Fan arrived at the ruins and waited patiently.

Seven days later, the seabed slightly shook.

“It’s here!”

Li Fan said to himself. He stomped his feet, and his body immediately sank downward.

Simultaneously, he activated the [Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique] and started sensing.

From an unknown distance, a powerful force began flowing through the ley lines and affecting this place, slowly reactivating the originally exhausted ley line node here.

If there were no external forces interfering, the newly revitalized ley line node would push the sunken island back to the surface of the sea.

But now that Li Fan was here, such a thing was not going to happen.

It was as if a massive vortex had formed beneath his feet.

The rushing force of the ley lines, before it could fully form, was all absorbed into Li Fan’s body and converted into pure spiritual energy.

At the same time, the cultivation technique being practiced by the clone started running rapidly.

The technique used was not the one practiced by the spy, Zhou Qingang.

Instead, it was another Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique inherited from the Heavenly Machine Sect, the ‘Heavenly Intent Xuanji Skill’.

Although this ancient method was very slow to cultivate, under the unlimited speed-up effect provided by the Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique, it was improving at a shockingly fast speed.

The force of the ley lines was endless, and Li Fan’s clone devoured them without restraint.

This change, which originally should have shocked all the four sea domains, dissipated unnoticed.

In an instant, the clone’s cultivation level had reached the bottleneck of the early stages of the Golden Core.

Because of the existence of the [Catastrophe of the Heavens], even if the ‘Heavenly Intent Xuanji Skill’ was running at a high speed, the cultivation level couldn’t further progress.

Li Fan slightly frowned, but did not stop devouring.

Even if all the force from the ley lines absorbed at this point was wasted, he didn’t feel a bit bothered.

The spiritual energy converted from the Heaven-Earth Devouring Grand Technique continued to accumulate within the clone’s body, thoroughly filling up every corner of the body.

Seeing that this clone body was about to burst, Li Fan slapped his own chest, and his hand suddenly exerted suction.

Once again, he began to devour and convert the excess spiritual power within his body.

In the ancient era without the [Catastrophe of the Heavens], there wouldn’t be a situation like Li Fan’s right now, where the acquisition of spiritual energy can’t keep up with the increase of cultivation level.

However, the existence of the cultivation bottleneck placed Li Fan, who was devouring heaven and earth at that moment, in a peculiar situation.

The converted force was all used to accelerate the cultivation of the technique.

But it couldn’t make any progress.

The functioning of the cultivation technique had reached an astonishing speed, like the roaring tide, wave after wave was hitting an incredibly sturdy dam.

Li Fan carefully felt and recorded everything happening in his body.

Compared to the mighty force of the ley lines, the power of a small Golden Core cultivator was not worth mentioning.

However, this power, which should have at least advanced a Golden Core cultivator to the Nascent Soul Stage, was continuously being consumed in the process of challenging the Catastrophe of the Heavens.

Even so, it turns out that everything Li Fan did was not in vain.

Amid countless impacts, the bottleneck finally started to loosen.
