My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 1084 - 1039: Mending the Sky with a Pill

The withered yellow paper man struggled in Li Fan’s hands as if it were a living creature. Its expression was angry and strange, and it even emitted a faint, piercing shriek as its body violently tried to break free.

But it was doomed to never escape the palm of Li Fan’s hand.

After briefly explaining to Mo Rubing the origins of the paper men from the Du E Sect, Li Fan exerted a little force, and the paper man in his hand let out a miserable scream. Then, the yellow color faded away, and the paper man became transparent.

However, the faint outline did not disappear and still existed within the Xuanhuang World.

“If you hadn’t reminded me, Brother Xingwang, I wouldn’t have noticed all these paper men infesting the Xuanhuang World!” Mo Rubing was both shocked and angry. “This Du E Sect really is courting death!”

“You’re right, although their methods are extremely vile, they’re indeed effective. Rooted in the world, existing together with the Primordial Yellow Sky and Earth. Even if I purge them like this, they can still regenerate from the imprints left in the environment. No wonder even the Celestial Dharma Bearer had no good solution to the Du E Sect back then.” As he spoke, Li Fan pulled out another paper man from the profound space and crushed it viciously.

“In any era, there are always such parasitic characters in the world. This is also why some in the Cult opposed saving Xuanhuang back then, preferring to leave on their own.”

“If we were to truly succeed in saving the world, and the Du E Sect reappeared… that would be utterly disgusting.” Mo Rubing’s complexion was also very gloomy.

“It doesn’t matter. The Xuanhuang World has reached its current state; it’s probably beyond salvation. The destinies of the Du E Sect and the Xuanhuang World will only be to be buried together in the Immortal Ruins,” Li Fan said, quite composed.

Mo Rubing also calmed down: “Brother Xingwang, what you’ve said is correct; the important matters should take precedence.”

“The Banned Array Technique is about to be completed; you should also prepare in advance. We can take action at any moment.”

Li Fan nodded in agreement.

Watching the retreating figure of Mo Rubing, Li Fan’s thoughts were entirely different from his words.

“Expecting the King of Mystic Sky, who disappeared many years ago, to lead an escape from the Abyss Star Ocean…”

“I’m afraid the result is bound to disappoint you. But I do understand; the living look for the living, the dead look for the dead. The charisma of the King of Mystic Sky indeed justifies why the Twelve Law Kings are still desperately searching for his trace even after ten thousand years.”

“The savior of Xuanhuang, huh.”

Li Fan’s face showed neither sorrow nor joy as he quietly returned to the Spirit Tree Realm.

Compared to the desolate scenery at the beginning of this world, the Spirit Tree Realm now truly carries some of the grandeur of the [Alliance of Ten Thousand Realms].

The concentration of Spiritual Energy was not lower than ordinary regions in the Xuanhuang World, and the reserves of Array Path and Refining Tool techniques were even more remarkable, definitively superior to those in the Xuanhuang World.

All the powers within the Spirit Tree Realm carried out tasks according to Li Fan’s will.

After integrating all the popular Elixir Recipes from the Immortal Alliance, the Medicine King Sect successfully developed an Elixir called [Gapmender Pill]. Although the name was unremarkable, it originated from [the Heavenly Dao has flaws that can be mended by pills]. Cultivators who consumed it would gain a large amount of cultivation base, with their realms rapidly advancing.

Even more ingeniously, the Gapmender Pill could also delay the bottleneck brought on by Heavenly Calamity. As long as the supply of pills continued, there would be no concern of bottlenecks.

Of course, the side effects were also quite severe. The more Gapmender Pills one consumed, the greater the dependency. This is not to say addiction; rather, after excessive consumption of Gapmender Pills, the cultivation base obtained through personal cultivation would progressively become less and less. Eventually, one could only rely on the Gapmender Pills to gain cultivation base. However, the cultivation base in each Gapmender Pill was fixed, and the higher the realm, the more cultivation base was needed.

According to deductions by Liu Ruchen and others, the Gapmender Pill could at most support cultivators’ practices up to the God Transformation Realm.

Beyond that, even if one spent a lifetime consuming pills, it was feared they could not accumulate enough cultivation base.

The side effects of the Gapmender Pill did not stop there.

Although it claimed to [mend the flaws of the Heavenly Dao], it was frankly only an elixir used to gain cultivation base and did not truly possess the mystical nature of snatching the creation from heaven and earth. However, after a cultivator consumed the Gapmender Pill, they would subconsciously develop the hubristic thought of mending the flaws of the Heavenly Dao.

A cultivator barely at the God Transformation Stage, yet hoping to enact the act of Mending the Heavens, would only face self-destruction.

According to Liu Ruchen, the name of the Gapmender Pill was not arbitrarily chosen. Instead, it emerged naturally from the resonance with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth during the pill’s formation, as if the name was preordained.

As to why an elixir that could increase one’s cultivation base was named “Gapmender,” the members of Medicine King Sect and others were also puzzled.

Nevertheless, this did not hinder the usage of Gapmender Pills.

Li Fan wasn’t much concerned about their side effects. As a large number of Gapmender Pills were distributed, the level of cultivators in various Small Worlds also increased rapidly.

Soon, over a hundred Golden Core Cultivators emerged.

Li Qing’s clone, as planned, led them into the secret realm of Chaoyuan Sect.

This was the first feasible exploration; if successful, the Spirit Tree Realm would start producing Nascent Soul Monks.

…

By comparison, the Craftsman’s progress in transforming Tianyang was considerably slower.

Theory, after all, has its gaps with reality.

To truly build an Immortal-level puppet, the difficulties encountered are even greater than imagined. Fortunately, the Craftsman, Fang Zaiji, and Tianyang found joy in the process, and after Li Fan observed for a while, he chose not to interfere.

“As long as I gain access to their research before the end of this world, that will suffice,” he thought.

In the underground secret chamber, Li Fan’s consciousness settled.

In a trance, his perspective soared to the sky above, overlooking the land of the Spirit Tree Realm.

To Li Fan’s eyes, the vast Spirit Tree Realm was only as large as a palm.

Greenish glow emanated from everywhere, and the arrays were like elaborate patterns carved on the surface of the world, half-concealed and half-visible.

After the completion and transformation of the Final Separation Disk, Li Fan had once again refined the Spirit Tree Realm with formation refining.

It could be said that this Small World could now be considered a large Magic Treasure of Li Fan.

Li Fan’s mind stirred, calling up the [Real] panel.

Prompted by [Real], a message appeared.

“Do you wish to use the idle anchor point to replace the bound item?”

Li Fan pondered for a moment but ultimately chose not to make a decision just yet.

Although it was not easy for the Spirit Tree Realm to develop to its current scale, if Li Fan were to live another lifetime, he could definitely rebuild it and even do it better.

Anchor points were hard to come by, and if one were to use them to replace a bound item, they must be employed on items that are extremely hard to replicate and once missed, would be difficult to acquire again.

“I have already used three anchor points. The initial anchor point was when I first crossed over to this world.”

“The second anchor point was at the Dissociative Mountain Peak, the Ocean Pearl as a Foundation Establishment Strange Object, at the Final Stage of Foundation Establishment.”

“The third anchor point was also at Dissociative Mountain, [Real] serving as the Foundation Establishment Strange Object, again at the Final Stage of Foundation Establishment.”

“Perhaps after the end of this world, I can set another anchor point.”
