My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 59 – Vast Ocean Turns into Mulberry Field

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Vast Ocean Turns into Mulberry Field

As he saw the crimson figure, numerous pieces of information suddenly emerged in Li Fan’s consciousness.

The Essence of Heaven and Earth, the manifestation of a certain law of the universe.

When a specific condition is met, an Essence of Heaven and Earth will come into existence, manifesting in a certain area.

If Heaven’s Killing Intent dictates the purge of the cultivators…

Then the Essence of Heaven and Earth is the executor of this purge.

They do not possess any personal thoughts, only acting according to predetermined instincts.

They are the law itself, slaughtering cultivators as casually as slaughtering poultry.

Their mission is to annihilate those cultivators who defy the Heaven and Earth.

For cultivators, the Essence of Heaven and Earth is extremely dangerous.

Once targeted, it essentially signifies a certain death.

But at the same time…

As the embodiment of the Law of Taoist, the Essence of Heaven and Earth signifies enormous opportunities for the cultivators.

The practice is to unite with the Essence of Heaven and Earth through personal sacrifice.

If a cultivator can successfully master an Essence of Heaven and Earth, regardless of his previous cultivation level, he can achieve the Unity Realm instantly.

While it is the mortal enemy of cultivators, it also possesses an irresistible allure.

Witnessing the Essence of Heaven and Earth – the Crimson Flame, a boundless desire welled up in Li Fan’s heart.

“If I can consume it, I will understand the truth of Tao, I will ascend in broad daylight!”

It felt like a starving man stumbling upon delectable food, just like a traveller in the desert coming across a clear lake after days and nights of trekking.

This greedy desire murmured in Li Fan’s ear like a devil’s whisper – provoking him to rush towards the crimson figure in the sky.

While Li Fan alleviated the scorching feeling from the Ocean Pearl, he frantically operated the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell to dissolve the surging desires in his heart.

He knew that he could observe the Essence of Heaven and Earth – the Crimson Flame only by borrowing the power of the Ocean Pearl.

In the eyes of the Crimson Flame, Li Fan was just an unformed consciousness of the Ocean. So even if it noticed Li Fan’s gaze, it just glanced back and ignored him.

If Li Fan loses his rationality, attacks the Crimson Flame, and exposes his cultivator identity, he will undoubtedly be mercilessly killed by it.

Rationality and desire tore at Li Fan’s spirit.

The two contradictory thoughts were tearing his consciousness apart.

Li Fan could only struggle to maintain the operation of the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell to keep his Daoist heart intact.

After an unknown period, the storm spurred by desire gradually subsided.

Shaken, Li Fan dared not pry further.

Being able to retain a lucid consciousness after peeping into the secret of heaven was already a stroke of luck.

Li Fan had a hunch, he was about to leave the Ocean Pearl’s consciousness and return to his own body, but he discovered a highly embarrassing problem.

Resisting the desire stirred by the Essence of Heaven and Earth actually took up nearly half a year of Li Fan’s time!

He had merged with the Ocean Pearl’s consciousness for too long, far exceeding the limit that an Energy Refining Cultivator could endure.

Right now his consciousness was still fine as it was connected to the Ocean Pearl, but if it were to return to his body, he feared he would age to death in no time.

Just a glimpse from afar could bring about such terrifying consequences.

His cultivation might have to end here in this life.

While Li Fan felt a bit regretful, he didn’t feel any sense of remorse.

He discovered the truth behind the drastic changes in the Misthaven Ocean, saw the Essence of Heaven and Earth – the Crimson Flame, and personally experienced the mechanisms of Heaven and Earth.

Li Fan’s gains were not small.

Even if this life were to end now, he could accept it.

Moreover, he doesn’t plan to use [Real] to end this life just yet.

Since he’s already here, he might as well make the best of it. Since his consciousness is trapped in the Ocean Pearl anyway, he might as well seize the opportunity to perceive the Qi mechanism of Heaven and Earth again.

If he does not risk probing the Essence of Heaven and Earth again, and only focuses on perceiving Qi, he should be fine.

Now that his body has reached the end of its lifespan, and his consciousness has no body to nourish it, it is like a water source without a river, a tree without roots – his consciousness will gradually be eroded in the Ocean Pearl.

According to Li Fan’s estimate, he could only hold on for a dozen years at most.

If he could make good use of this time, it might not be impossible to gain something more.

Li Fan summoned a trace of the pure power from the Ocean Pearl to protect his body, preventing it from decaying.

Then, his consciousness once again immersed itself in the perspective of the Ocean Pearl.

He watched the flow of the Heaven and Earth Qi Mechanism. He observed the rise and fall of the sun, the moon, and the stars.

He witnessed the remaining life in the Misthaven Ocean disappearing one after another.

He felt the indifferent, calm, eternal, and unchanging killing intent between heaven and earth.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, five years passed.

In the 40th year, the Misthaven Ocean had completely dried up, becoming a genuine dead land.

Only Taian Island, sheltered by Li Fan, still had a small number of mortals surviving.

One day, Li Fan suddenly sensed something, looking towards the sky.

The crimson figure that had been standing in the sky for more than ten years had finally disappeared.

Its mission was accomplished, so naturally, it dissipated.

No one could say for sure where, in the Immortal Cultivation World, it would appear again one day.

Li Fan stared in the direction where the Crimson Flame had disappeared, his mind once again submerging into the Ocean Pearl.

As time passed, Li Fan’s consciousness became weaker and weaker.

His thoughts also started to slow down.

He lost his ability to think independently, merely observing the world through the perspective of the Ocean Pearl in silence.

In the second year after the Crimson Flame disappeared, several cultivators in green Taoist robes appeared in Misthaven Ocean.

With the casting of a series of spells, the heavens finally released a long-missed downpour.

Subsequently, more and more cultivators arrived.

Green light shone on the dried seabed.

Vegetation, symbolizing the breath of life, appeared on the earth.

The fresh wind blew over, and tree after tree sprouted from the ground.

In just one year, the scorched lands were rejuvenated.

The scene of the sea boiling by the Crimson Flame not long ago seemed like a nightmare, gently blown away.

The Misthaven Ocean had completed its transformation into the Misthaven Mountain Range.

The construction of a city suspended in the air began above the Misthaven Mountain Range.

Once completed, it attracted more and more cultivators from far and wide.

The Misthaven Mountain Range became increasingly bustling.

Occasionally, cultivators also visited, to peruse the only surviving island from the fire disaster, hoping to find opportunities.

But under Li Fan’s instinctive concealment, they discovered nothing.

In the 48th year, a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator returned to Misthaven Ocean.

He arrived at Liuli Island, now Liuli Mountain Range, with a somber expression.

Not far away, Li Fan’s spirit consciousness swept over and saw this scene, feeling sentimental.

This man, Li Fan recognized.

It was Zhang Haobo, who had decided to migrate out of Misthaven Ocean due to uneasiness in his heart.

Over twenty years had passed, and he had become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, his trials and tribulations unknown.

Scenes of this lifetime flashed rapidly in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness; his consciousness was about to dissipate.

Before it completely vanished, Li Fan’s consciousness returned to his own body.

His understanding of the Heaven and Earth Qi Mechanism over the years suddenly cleared the bottleneck that was hampering Li Fan’s breakthrough. The Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Energy rushed in, and Li Fan’s cultivation Instantly DroKe tnrougn to tne nnal stage or Energy Kenmng.

A smile emerged on Li Fan’s face, and then froze.

His body rapidly aged, a gust of wind blew over, turning him into dust and scattering him between heaven and earth.

Only a skeleton remained, lying there quietly.

“Real!”

Before dissipating, Li Fan called out in his heart..
