My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 1746: 1427: Tao Manifests Form_2

Chapter 1746: Chapter 1427: Tao Manifests Form_2

And in the depths of the spirit consciousness, an area isolated from other regions,

Another crystal that looks exactly like the Transformation Stone Mother was quietly floating. However, it appeared to be in a misty, illusory state, flickering unsteadily.

It was the Transformation Stone Mother that Li Fan had attempted to “replicate” through the True and False Changes.

He had already successfully replicated the Primordial Essence, his own cultivation base, and even the Azure Abyss Pearl. Li Fan originally thought that replicating this Transformation Stone Mother would be an easy task.

But to his surprise, the difficulty of replicating this crystal was several dozen times greater than that of the Azure Abyss Pearl, a celestial artifact.

To replicate the Azure Abyss Pearl, he only needed three times his cultivation base, and although it was somewhat strenuous, he could still succeed.

But when facing this Transformation Stone Mother, brute force seemed to lose its effect.

After several failures, Li Fan realized that it wasn’t due to insufficient strength. Instead, his understanding of the Transformation Stone Mother had not yet reached the minimum requirement for replication.

This was a novel experience for Li Fan.

Previously, when using the True and False Changes, he didn’t need extensive knowledge of the essence of things.

However, after careful introspection and difficult communication with Hai Zhen, Li Fan finally understood why.

To put it simply, anything that Li Fan could completely understand at a glance could be temporarily replicated through the True and False Changes.

This principle remained true for the Transformation Stone Mother.

The reason for the failed replication was that Li Fan could not see the entire essence of the Stone Mother.

This is also why Li Fan sealed the Stone Mother in his spirit consciousness, observing it relentlessly day and night.

He created a separate region, preventing the Stone Mother from probing into his memories.

Additionally, the members of the Taiyan Sect could leave this region of Li Fan’s spirit consciousness and enter the real world at any time.

Now, Li Fan could already replicate the Transformation Stone Mother, and by using the method of continuous overlaying, he enhanced the Transformation Stone in his spirit consciousness. Naturally, he could see the entirety of the Stone Mother.

Through his recent communication with the Stone Mother, Li Fan also understood why, as a half-immortal, he couldn’t fully comprehend the Stone Mother at a glance.

“Transformation Stone Mother, Dao Transformation Stone Mother.”

Li Fan’s heart stirred as the illusory Stone Mother he replicated transformed into an aura, merging with the Transformation Stone.

He operated the improved Taoist Divine One Secret Technique, rapidly absorbing the exceedingly pure energy within.

The illusory Stone Mother, replicated by Li Fan, held no trace of the Taiyan Sect’s will, nor did it contain the mysterious intent hidden within the real Stone Mother. It was merely the pure Stone Mother, allowing it to be absorbed without restraint.

Despite only leaving slight remnants each time the True and False Changes were employed,

The Transformation Stone Mother was so extraordinary that each time it was utilized, the quality of the Transformation Stone in Li Fan’s spirit consciousness would amplify significantly.

Within ten years, Li Fan had achieved nearly a hundred replications and overlays.

At this moment, the Transformation Stone in his spirit consciousness was almost as powerful as the Stone Mother in reality.

Thus, he had vague conjectures about the essence of the Transformation Stone Mother.

This exotic treasure from beyond the heavens might very well be a direct manifestation of the Tao!

Just like the ancient transformation of the Demon Clan, it follows a similar principle.

However, the ancient transformation represents a single Tao, whereas the Transformation Stone Mother…

Th𝚒𝓈 ƈhⱥp𝘵ᥱr 𝕀ѕ p𝕠𝕤ṯ𝙚𝑑 bʏ Ҡ𝐢ṯ𝗲ηⲟ𝕧𝓮𝗅

Li Fan speculated that it might even be a collection of all complete Taos!

Nonetheless, the possibility of the Transformation Stone Mother’s origin was far weaker compared to what Li Fan was familiar with.

Furthermore, it had endured the Path-obliterating Calamity, undergoing the baptism of probability.

The Stone Mother had become further weakened.

Therefore, even though it was a complete Tao transformed into an object, its might couldn’t even compare to an ordinary Nameless True Immortal.

Of course, all this was merely Li Fan’s speculation based on his inspirations during the replication process of the Stone Mother.

The only memory left of the Transformation Stone Mother seemed to be that it was fleeing in desperation to avoid some catastrophe, coincidentally ending up in the Xuanhuang World where it was discovered by the Taiyan Sect.

Li Fan surmised that the Transformation Stone Mother had severed all past connections because it was avoiding the pursuit of the Path-obliterating Calamity.

Although the Stone Mother had lost its past memory, the ominous aura of the Path-obliterating Calamity was evident enough through its perception of a dreadful catastrophe.

Li Fan had some confidence in his assumptions. After all, what in the mortal world could force a complete Tao’s crystal to flee in such desperation?

The Transformation Stone Mother arriving in the Xuanhuang World by “coincidence”

Also reminded Li Fan of the scenes he had seen in the memories of the True Immortal.

“There must still be mysterious aspects in the Xuanhuang World that I have yet to discover.”

“Capable of attracting numerous peculiar existences, traversing time and space, even crossing possibilities to come here.”

“Even my own crossing…”

Discovering the Transformation Stone Mother’s origin from other possibilities also made Li Fan question his crossing.

Although he didn’t particularly miss the days before crossing and felt no compulsion to return,

Li Fan’s concern was whether Hai Zhen’s awakening occurred within this possibility’s body—the idea that he was merely occupying someone else’s place.

Or if it happened to himself.

With the continuous exploration and use of the True and False Changes, Li Fan’s perspectives and mentality had subtly shifted.

In the past, encountering rare treasures in the mortal world, Li Fan would always harbor a desire to claim them as his own, either out of greed or to enhance his survival ability.

But now, Li Fan’s urge to “possess” had gradually diminished.

His thoughts were only of “analyzing and understanding.”

After all, with the True and False Changes at his disposal, whenever he wished, he could transform any treasure into countless duplicate entities.

The only thing Li Fan truly desired to possess now,

Was only [Hai Zhen] himself.

…

Countless thoughts were concluded with the fusion of yet another illusory Transformation Stone Mother.

Li Fan only felt that his mind was functioning much faster once again.

His focus returned to the mysterious and unfathomable demon sound in his ears.

Following Li Fan’s reminder, and based on the past memories in the Celestial Dharma Bearer’s spirit consciousness, the Stone Mother reached a conclusion after countless recalculations.

The indelible murmuring sound should be the handiwork of the King of Mystic Sky.

But it wasn’t a hidden contingency to aim for a rebirth.

Instead, it was a natural change occurring when the bloodline descendant’s bloodline source entered an incomprehensible realm.
