My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 664: Chapter 630: Parting Ways From Now On

At this moment, He Zhenhao had already pushed his daughter’s warning to the back of his mind.

In his opinion, even though the process of refining the Essence of Heaven and Earth was dangerous, he was not a reckless person. He would act according to circumstances. If things became impossible, he wouldn’t risk his life for nothing. Taking a little risk for the opportunity of instant success, why not?

However, He Zhenhao could never imagine that the real Essence of Heaven and Earth was in a whole different league from what he had envisioned.

In essence, it was simply due to the limitations of his understanding. He Zhenhao, currently only at the Golden Core Cultivation Level, had traveled widely and mingled broadly, and yet he had neither witnessed nor understood from the scriptures the true power of the Essence of Heaven and Earth.

He knew of it only by hearsay.

It was like a farmer’s understanding of an emperor’s golden hoe, far from the truth. And this, it seems, was destined to be the tragic ending of He Zhenhao’s life.

…

While a group of cultivators was still at the governance hall discussing the Underwater Ascending Cave Mansion in Li Fan’s predictions.

The protagonist, Li Fan himself, had already quietly arrived at the location of the cave mansion.

Over a distance of several hundred miles, the ocean floor, which was like steep stairs, had formed three big faults. Each fault level had a drop of more than four or five thousand kilometers. On the top of each fault level, the seabed, due to the intense activities of the leylines, rose into many ridges. The view was spectacularly unique, even surpassing the mountains and rivers on dry land.

This was the location where He Zhenhao achieved Golden Core in his previous life: The Three Submarine Faults.

“In his previous life, even though He Zhenhao was somewhat depressed, he did not lose his ambition. The moment he got ‘The Hidden Dragon Technique of Mountains and Rivers’, he was like a dragon coming out from the abyss, rising prominently. He comprehended the Golden Core by employing the four techniques and his future was boundless.”

“In this life, although He Zhenhao has more authority than before and he is practicing the Unified Dao Technique, he is neglectful in cultivation, only achieving Golden Core with a single technique.”

“You have been given opportunities, but you didn’t avail yourself of them.”

Li Fan has a hint of melancholy.

After a slight shake of his head, he got down to the main business.

His spiritual consciousness swept over the fault lines below, his eyes slightly squinting: “Chaoyuan Sect…”

What Li Fan had said earlier in the governance hall was not empty talk. Despite the numerous tricks and potential dangers of Chaoyuan Sect, in his previous life, after individuals like Shuo Feng and Su Xiaomei entered and returned safely, all their cultivation levels had increased by a significant realm.

Not mentioning the unexpected factor of He Zhenhao’s founding in his previous life, this ruin was originally meant to depart from the Misthaven Ocean after 22 years and head to Jiushan Province.

Therefore, this ruin remained hidden quietly amongst the faults.

Having gained possession of Du Guchang, the inheritor of the Medicine King Sect, Li Fan searched for a while but did not find any traces of the Chaoyuan Sect in his memory.

Not only that, even the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, the supposed ruler of the Misthaven Ocean, was the same.

There was no record of these sects.

“It’s strange. According to the information in the Tianxuan Mirror, the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters and Chaoyuan Sect are both well-known sects from the ancient times. Although they cannot be compared with the Immortal Dao Ten Clans, they are definitely stronger than the Medicine King Sect. Why is there no information about them in the minds of the disciples of the Medicine King Sect?”

“Could it be that they are not in the same time period? And the time when the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters existed is more recent?”

Li Fan pondered for a moment but couldn’t find a clear answer. Many of the clues seemed contradicting and certain aspects didn’t make sense.

Temporarily noting it in his mind, Li Fan looked at the seabed below and now displays his newly comprehended Divine Technique, the Heaven Piercing Heart Sword.

In the next instant, countless sword lights suddenly emerged from the mountains on the ocean floor.

Following the illumination of the dark seabed, a huge crashing sound echoed continuously.

The mountains collapsed, and then a huge rift formed over the ocean floor.

As if torn apart by countless sword lights in an instant, the hundred miles of underwater spectacle, along with Li Fan’s thoughts, was completely destroyed and vanished.

In the midst of this catastrophe, Li Fan has finally found the hidden traces of the Chaoyuan Sect.

Not resisting, he just watched as the ruins of buildings began to erupt and break through the water surface.

They became smaller and smaller, eventually turning into a cave mansion, heading towards Jiushan Province.

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, Li Fan’s spiritual sense became more acute. The moment he faced the Chaoyuan Sect’s ruins, even his heart sensed a trace of mortal danger.

“There are countless opportunities in this world, there’s no need to risk this one. Let everyone take their chances, and we can figure out the underlying intricacies later.”

Li Fan watches as the Chaoyuan Sect disappears, he thought to himself.

Although Li Fan himself didn’t care, the ruins of Chaoyuan Sect created a huge commotion among the cultivator communities.

Just a moment after telling everyone about the appearance of the Underwater Ascending Cave Mansion opportunity, it emerged even before the cultivators have left the governance hall.

This is too coincidental!

Some cultivators even suspected that the cave mansion was a facsimile by Li Fan, just to showcase his unpredictable predictive abilities again.

However, this theory was quickly debunked. Nothing else could replicate the ancient and time-worn vibe from the ruins of Chaoyuan Sect.

Moreover, because they were in the spotlight, the cultivators, working together, quickly identified the history of the main temple of the ruins, the Taiyuan Hall.

An ancient Immortal Sect, Chaoyuan Sect!

A God Transforming Cultivator, well-versed in the history of ancient cultivation, personally confirmed the authenticity of the ruins.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As a result, many cultivators within and beyond the Misthaven Ocean were lured by the so-called “opportunity”, following the ruins in pursuit.

Among these cultivators, there even was a person that Li Fan did not expect to see.

In the Governance Hall.

“You are going too? However you argue, the opportunity of the Chaoyuan Sect can’t compare to…right? Or you are planning to go and observe for a while and then come back immediately?” Faced with Gao Yuan’s farewell, He Zhenhao ambiguously asked.

“He he. After going back and thinking it over, I felt something was off. I thought about it for three days and three nights before finally realizing.” Gao Yuan spoke with some sentiment.

“To forge iron, you need a hard hammer. Even though I am greatly favored by you, my inherent strength is only at the Golden Core level. In the Misthaven Sea, I am still capable of controlling the situation. But if you are truly successful in achieving the Unity-Path, you will definitely have God Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivators under you. How can I convince everyone else then? To better follow your steps, I, Gao Yuan, have to take risks now!”

He Zhenhao was not fooled by the righteous words the other party uttered. He suspiciously looked at Gao Yuan.

“Don’t look at me with such eyes.” Gao Yuan gave a sarcastic smile. “I am not bluffing this time, and even asked for a leave from you. I am about to set off.”

“Daoist He, what do you think?” Gao Yuan gave He Zhenhao a look that was full of meaning.

He Zhenhao hesitated for a bit but ultimately refused Gao Yuan’s request to accompany him, citing the need for someone to maintain stability and take charge of the affairs of Misthaven Sea.

Gao Yuan did not say anything further, he cupped his hands in a salute and then gracefully left.
