My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 1836: 1473: Origin of Mo Sha_2

Chapter 1836: Chapter 1473: Origin of Mo Sha_2

“So, I made a mistake earlier. Knowing that this Chanting Mysterious Sound is extremely extraordinary, I subconsciously exerted extra effort on it. I shouldn’t have targeted the Illusionary Path Shadow, I only needed to capture the Grandmaster.”

“If it doesn’t sense a threat or disaster, it naturally won’t evolve a means of avoiding disaster.”

With a thought, Li Buren adjusted the distribution of restraining power. All the binding force was transferred to the Grandmaster in the appearance of a Daoist Child.

The Grandmaster’s always serene expression finally showed a change.

“After all, sitting in front of the Illusionary Path Shadow for so many years has some effect.” Li Buren noticed that there was indeed some vague connection between the Grandmaster and the Illusionary Path Shadow.

The means applied on the Grandmaster inevitably spread to the Path Shadow.

However, the power to avoid calamity manifested as a result was much weaker than before.

This means Li Buren had more time to slowly deal with the Tiandu Grandmaster.

Yet no matter what secrets were hidden within the Grandmaster, they ultimately couldn’t compare to this Illusionary Path Shadow. Hence, Li Buren was in no rush to inquire, with his focus always on the Path Shadow.

After a long while…

“The Path of Illusionary Life, simply put, is the extreme evolution of ‘survival of the fittest’.

“Turning all adversity to one’s advantage. In theory, perhaps even the Path-obliterating Calamity could evolve a coping strategy.”

“But this is only theoretical. The premise is evolving the characteristic before being swallowed by the Dao Yan.”

Li Buren, pondering this, suddenly thought of Mo Sha in the Xuanhuang World.

“There are countless connections between Mo Sha and Dao Yan.”

“Perhaps it’s an experiment to completely resolve the Dao Yan. However, Dao Yan annihilates all, and nothing related should exist in the world…”

Recalling why this Illusionary Path Shadow chose to come to the Xuanhuang World.

Li Buren shifted his gaze to the Yuandao State below.

“The successful creation of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Mo Sha should have some infusion of the Power of Illusionary Life.”

“This infusion of power hasn’t vanished with the nameless Illusionary Life’s transcendence. It still exists in the Xuanhuang World.”

“It becomes the only Power of Illusionary Life apart from the Illusionary Path Shadow in the [Primordial] realm. It’s precisely because of this connection that the Path Shadow came here.”

Li Buren’s thoughts raced, sweeping his Dao Network Divine Sense across the Yuandao State terrain and deep underground.

Since being unknowingly engulfed by ten years of time, Li Fan never set foot in the Yuandao State again. Even after ascending to the Semi-Immortal Stage and mastering the Wuyou Dreamscape, he avoided this state, wary of the Grandmaster’s presence.

Hence, it was an absolute blind spot to him.

Now, under the augmentation of the Phantom of the Guarded Hill, the shadow of the blind spot was finally cleared away.

Thirty-three thousand zhang beneath the Yuandao State.

A space seemingly independent of the Xuanhuang World.

An ink-like mass, resembling a heart, pulsated continuously.

Its every beat was extremely bizarre.

Not a seamless flowing action, but formed by segments of intermittently captured frames, like a stop-motion animation.

The closer Li Buren’s Divine Sense approached, the more familiar the feeling became.

This arose from the unity with the Ink-Killing Immortal Soul through the Heavenly Earth Immortal Soul.

Carefully and without causing disturbance, he continued to near.

He already knew the true nature of the object before him.

“Though Mo Sha is the Essence of Heaven and Earth, it is not an inherent or original thing of the Xuanhuang World.”

“Instead, it was transformed, an acquired creation.”

“Unlike other Heaven and Earth Essences, the laws of Mo Sha have not merged with Xuanhuang World Heaven and Earth.”

“This region beneath the Yuandao State is the solitary source of Mo Sha’s origin.”

For external entities approaching, the ink-like shadow seemed extremely vigilant. Upon noticing Li Buren, it immediately became somewhat agitated.

In a series of intermittently changing images, the ink shadow churned.

Li Buren felt that if he got any closer, he might be attacked by it.

Though unafraid, it might affect the subsequent exploration of Mo Sha’s origin mystery.

Thus, Li Buren decisively stopped.

“This matter requires my true self.”

Li Buren swiftly turned, continuing to confront the Grandmaster.

Meanwhile, Li Fan’s true self gathered the power of the Ink-Killing Immortal Soul within, differentiating into a silhouette.

Traversing down and diving straight into the depths beneath the Yuandao State.

In a moment, he arrived at the location previously investigated by Li Buren, witnessing the ink-like shadow.

Compared to its wariness of Li Buren, the shadow clearly regarded Li Fan as “one of its own.”

Merely assuming it was the Ink-Killing Immortal Soul of the Heavenly Path, out executing a Xuanhuang Heaven task.

But Li Fan still felt countless vague and curious observations.

It seemed to question the “uniqueness” of Li Fan.

Although he ascended to become an Immortal Soul, the essence was still the Power of Ink and Death.

Li Fan eventually safely blended into this ink shadow.

Compared to the Illusory Life Phantom just now, it was an even closer observation.

Li Fan was surrounded by countless ink colors, immersed in the ocean of ink.

His heart was neither sad nor happy, merely observing quietly.

“Hmm… The Path of Destruction from Path-obliterating Calamity.”

“The transformative power of the Illusionary Path Shadow.”

“Besides these two, there’s also…”

Like taking a sip of fine tea, Li Fan savored it with great detail.

Clearly, it was another Path now absent from current possibilities.

However, although Li Fan had never encountered or understood it before.

Because it had a strong correlation with the Path of Phantasmal Life, Li Fan had vaguely glimpsed its traces in the vanishing Path Shadow just observed.

“If the Path of Phantasmal Life pushes [transformation] to the extreme,”

“Then this Path is its counterpart.”

“An eternal order…”

Li Fan carefully watched the center of the swirling Ink Sea.

As a creation that could annihilate and devour everything, what exactly maintained the existence of Mo Sha itself?

Amidst the entanglement of destructive and transformative powers, it is precisely due to a constant, unchanging force serving as a binding link that enables the existence of [Mo Sha] in the world.

“Change and constancy.”

“Two completely opposite, conflicting forces come together.”

“Bound by the source of destruction from Path-obliterating Calamity.”

A flash of astonishment passed through Li Fan’s eyes: “Illusionary Life, Eternity.”

“These two Paths are not beneath the Primordial. They once jointly experimented…”
