My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 68 – Determined to Cultivate Illusion Skills

Chapter 68: Chapter 67: Determined to Cultivate Illusion Skills

Third: If you want to explore the mysterious, gather as many people as possible.

The most effective way to figure out the rules of the mysterious is to stack up as many lives as possible.

Believe in yourself, you definitely won’t be the first one to die!

After thoroughly reading the “Survival Guide to Sect Relics,” Li Fan felt that his hundred contribution points were well spent.

With these experiences, he felt more confident about exploring the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters in two years.

In his previous life, ever since Sikong Yi found “The Cloud and Water Scroll” from the palace and earned a hundred thousand contribution points, word spread.

This sparked the fervor among the cultivators of the Misthaven Ocean to explore the palace.

Although “The Cloud and Water Scroll” had been taken, the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters was so vast that there must be more treasures than just that, right?

With this thought in mind, the cultivators of Misthaven Ocean risked their lives and flocked to it in droves.

Even loose cultivators from distant continents came upon hearing the news.

Their ideas were indeed correct.

In his previous life, even until the 27-year anchor point, the year Li Fan began refining energy, the palace had still not been fully explored.

From time to time, news would spread of cultivators obtaining treasures from within it, provoking envy among all.

Because so many people were constantly exploring, the majority of the strange rules within the Cloud and Water Palace were no secret anymore.

Li Fan had heard about it in his previous life.

However…

The manner in which Sikong Yi originally acquired “The Cloud and Water Scroll” had always been a topic of debate with no conclusive answer.

Therefore, if Li Fan wanted to compete for “The Cloud and Water Scroll” in this life, the best method would be to secretly follow Sikong Yi and intercept him when he was about to succeed.

There were still two years before the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters would open, so he had time to covertly gather information about Sikong Yi, to know both himself and the enemy.

At the same time, he needed to increase his own strength as much as possible.

Li Fan turned his gaze to a bunch of slaughter techniques for energy refining in the Tianxuan Mirror.

The cost of these techniques was much higher than usual ones.

The “The Minor Water Expansion Technique” that Li Fan had previously practiced only required 1200 contribution points.

However, the price of these slaughter techniques was usually around 1500 points.

Li Fan quickly scanned through the description of these techniques, choosing the one that suited him.

“Flowing Water Sword Technique”, “The Minor Gang Wind Sword”, “Scarlet

Meteor”…

Suddenly, Li Fan’s eyes halted on one technique.

“The Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit”.

After reading through the description of the technique a few times, Li Fan was intrigued.

According to the description, this was primarily an illusion technique.

It involved cultivating an “Illusion Spirit” in your mind and releasing it to confuse the enemy when encountered.

Once the Illusion Spirit is powerful enough, it can even enter someone’s spirit consciousness and launch a direct attack.

This technique seemed tailor-made for him!

Although he wasn’t sure how his spirit consciousness strength compares to that of other cultivators, having reincarnated for hundreds of years with the empowerment of the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell, it surely couldn’t be too weak.

In addition to cultivating the “Illusion Spirit”.

A crimson figure suddenly appeared in Li Fan’s mind.

If he used the Crimson Flame as the prototype for his cultivation, then the resulting “Illusion Spirit” should be quite powerful, right?

Li Fan mulled it over in his heart, deciding on the spot to buy this technique.

However, the price…

Li Fan had a look and his eyelid twitched.

2500 points!

Almost the same price as a near-foundation establishment technique!

No wonder this technique seemed so powerful, yet it always hung here, unappreciated.

Actually, Li Fan got this part wrong.

The high price of “The Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit” was just because illusion techniques were rarer, not because it was particularly powerful.

In today’s Immortal Cultivation World, the strength of most cultivators’ spirit consciousness is roughly the same.

After all, before the Great Calamity, techniques specifically aimed at strengthening spirit consciousness were rare.

Let alone now when one cannot cultivate Immortal Laws concurrently.

Lacking means to strengthen and enhance spirit consciousness, the intensity of the majority of cultivators’ spirit consciousness is at the same level.

Under these conditions, very few people choose to attack others with their spirit consciousness.

Because this often means mutual destruction.

This is also why “The Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit” seems rather unattractive to other cultivators.

All said and done, it’s just an illusion technique.

It is but a method to use the spirit consciousness, not a way to amplify it.

With the reluctance to use spirit consciousness attack lightly, who would be willing to spend 2500 contribution points solely for a bit of illusion?

It was precisely because Li Fan had the Xuan Huang Heart-Refining Spell, and had personally witnessed the Heavenly Earth’s Fiery Red Flame once, that he resonated well with the path of illusion “Spirit”.

Thus, “The Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit” could show many times its effect in his hands.

No matter what, in the end, Li Fan gritted his teeth and bought “The Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit”.

In a blink of an eye, Li Fan’s contribution is now only 1321 points.

Contribution points come and go quickly!

He had originally planned to buy another escape technique, but he didn’t quite have enough for it now, so he would have to postpone it.

The most pressing matter was to cultivate “The Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit” to the late Stage of Energy Refining.

He switched on the training assist mode of TianXuan Mirror and placed the Exquisite Luli Bead beside him. Li Fan started his cultivation.

With a heart as clear as a mirror, the profound texts of the technique became as easy to understand as an elementary school textbook under Li Fan’s double cultivation.

The pure cultivation within his dantian transformed into nutrients from “The Minor Water Expansion Technique”, spurring the cultivation progress of “The Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit” to rocket up.

In less than a day, “The Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit” reached the mid-stage of Energy Refining.

Upon reaching the mid-stage of Energy Refining, one could visualize “Illusion Spirit” within one’s mind.

Although it’s an Illusion Spirit, the visualized object can’t be invented from nothing.

It must be based on items that truly exist in the Immortal Cultivation World.

His thoughts flowed slowly, scenes of past experiences floated before his eyes.

Li Fan seemed to have returned to the moment in his previous life when he witnessed the Crimson Blaze Ocean.

An illusion gradually appeared in his spirit consciousness.

Just from this yet-to-form illusion, Li Fan already felt a sudden surge in his body temperature.

Sweat broke out on his entire body like raindrops.

Li Fan frowned, forcefully channeling the Heart-Refining Spell to suppress the burning sensation.

He continued to focus on the Crimson Flame figure.

As the Illusion Spirit of the Crimson Flame gradually took shape, the temperature of Li Fan’s body rose higher and higher.

If before it felt like being in a desert under the scorching sun, it now felt like being roasted over a big fire.

As Li Fan continued to visualize, the sensation of burning heat became more terrifying.

Finally, when the temperature reached a limit, the clothes Li Fan was wearing spontaneously combusted without any fire.

“Puff! ”

He could no longer maintain the state of visualization, and the illusion in his spirit consciousness instantly disappeared.

Li Fan spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The blood was emitting such a high temperature that it turned into a cloud of white mist and evaporated before it splashed onto the ground.

Li Fan wiped the blood from his mouth, undeterred.

He bought a Restorative Pill from the TianXuan Mirror, recovered for a while, then continued with his visualization..
