My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1559 - 1340_2

Chapter 1559 -1340_2

“Thirdly, and most importantly, is the side effect. Everyone who practices the Balanced Heaven Divine Art will, to a certain extent, be affected by [Equilibrium] when its state ends.”

“Specifically… it manifests as a tendency to some degree…” Zhong Daogong spoke in a ghostly tone.

Li Fan suddenly understood: “This [Art of Equilibrium], is it also derived from the True Immortal Seal Characters?”

Zhong Daogong nodded: “Correct. In fact, the divine art can be considered a True Immortal Seal Character written jointly by the elders of our Immortal Boat.”

“The elders worked together, coming infinitely close to the handwriting of a True Immortal.”

“Because it involves the origins of the Balanced Heaven Divine Art, the character [Equilibrium] has also become one of the Immortal Boat’s highest secrets. Therefore, it was not shown to you in the previous deal.”

Li Fan: “But now, Elder Zhong, you have thrown everything at me all at once… It seems that even if I did not wish to agree, I no longer have a choice.”

Zhong Daogong waved his hand, indicating weakness: “My friend, there’s no need to overthink it. Indeed, there’s nothing we can do for a person doomed to die, who possesses a Peerless Escape Technique.”

“It is not coercion, but a sincere request.”

“Request for what? Are you finally asking me to join the Immortal Ship Elders Council?” Li Fan snorted coldly.

“That’s one thing. Besides that, there is another request,” Zhong Daogong said with an unchanging expression.

Li Fan stared intently at Zhong Daogong.

Zhong Daogong was quite calm, bowing slightly with folded hands as a gesture of courtesy.

Then he slowly said, “Please, my friend, bring a portion of [Art of Equilibrium] back to Da Qi!”

“Huh?!” A flash of murderous intent passed through his eyes, and Li Fan stood up abruptly, locking eyes with Zhong Daogong.

“Elder Zhong, stop joking. Didn’t you just say that only members of the Elders’ Council can participate in the enactment of the Balanced Heaven Divine Art?” Li Fan asked coldly.

“I also said that the essence of the Balanced Heaven Divine Art is just the collective inscription of the True Immortal Seal Characters by everyone. Our Immortal Boat has been studying the True Immortal Seal Characters for so many years, naturally, we have ways to make other living beings unknowingly participate in the inscription of the [Equal] Technique, even though they are at opposite ends of the Star Sea.”

“However… to accomplish this, we still need your cooperation.”

“Members of the Immortal Boat Elders Council are too few in number. Thus, the consequences of using divine art each time are unbearable. But if we have the participation of Da Qi to bear the burden…” Zhong Daogong finally showed his hand.

Li Fan remained silent for a long time.

For a moment, the room fell into complete Death Silence.

Zhong Daogong did not pressure further, simply waiting quietly for Li Fan’s response.

Li Fan’s eyebrows were tightly knit, his expression hesitant and undecided.

“I… need some time to think it over,” Li Fan finally said.

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Zhong Daogong’s face: “Then, before tomorrow’s council meeting, I shall pay you a visit.”

Li Fan left without expression.

Once he returned to his own courtyard and was certain no one was watching him.

His expression didn’t change, but his heart was already surging.

“Balanced Heaven Divine Art? Indeed extraordinary. Worthy of being the ultimate reliance of the Immortal Boat’s plan to cross the High Wall.”

“Requiring a large number of living beings to perform the art together, to bear the backlash of the True Immortal Seal Characters?”

Li Fan sneered inwardly.

“If I could see the true form of the True Immortal Seal Characters…”

“Why not?”

“However, the elders of the Immortal Boat live extremely long lives. Even adding Nangong Lie and those three unfortunate souls, they would not be willing to share lifespans with the mortals of the so-called Da Qi civilization.”

“So, what would be their target for using the divine art?”

On the surface, as still as a statue, unmoving. In his heart, Li Fan was already quietly plotting.

If it comes to the understanding of the True Immortal Seal Characters, even the entire Immortal Boat Elders Council combined may not compare to Li Fan, who knows the True and False Changes and understands Immortal and Mortal.”

“As long as I can understand the true nature of the [Equal] character, I can meddle at any time, overturning the divine art.”

…

The next day.

Zhong Daogong indeed arrived as promised.

“How are your thoughts, my friend?” Zhong Daogong asked with a smiling face.

“I can agree to your request. However…” Li Fan spoke indifferently, “When will the Immortal Boat cross the High Wall?”

“I need a promise of the exact timing of its activation.”

“I also want to be fully involved in the casting of the Balanced Heaven Divine Art.”

“…”

Li Fan made several requests in succession.

Zhong Daogong agreed to all of them without any hesitation, very briskly.

Such decisiveness only served to heighten the vigilance in Li Fan’s heart.

“Then, Elder Zhong, could you inform me what exactly is the target of this Balanced Heaven Divine Art?”

“It can’t be just for extending Nangong and the others’ lifespans, right?” Li Fan stared intently at Zhong Daogong.

Zhong Daogong: “The Equilibrium Life Extension Technique doesn’t require the trouble of involving the likes of Da Qi. Our Immortal Boat will handle it. As for the ultimate goal…”

“Wait until you have completed the installation of the Equal Heaven Divine Art, and we will inform you.”

Li Fan stared at Zhong Daogong for a long time, motionless.

After a long while: “Fine! I agree!”

“Da Qi… although it is my former homeland.”

“But why should I worry about a deluge after death!” A trace of ferocity flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

Zhong Daogong’s expression was unfathomable, and he did not respond.

Li Fan did not attend the subsequent Immortal Ship Elders Council meeting.

Instead, he focused on studying the [Balanced Heaven Divine Art] ritual given to him by Zhong Daogong.

The so-called ritual was actually an Array Technique that integrated the writing of True Immortal Seal Characters, and it seemed to be mixed with something similar to the life of the Immortal Boat Divine Tree.

“You only need to engrave this ritual into the world. When the divine art is activated, the Living Beings it envelopes will automatically be drawn into the ritual.”

“Once the arrangement is complete, our Immortal Boat will sense it. You can then return. When the time comes, we will not go back on our promises!”

Zhong Daogong’s entrustment still echoed in his ears.

Li Fan murmured softly: “It only determines the number of Living Beings involved, regardless of the level of their cultivation base. This makes it easier for me.”

“There’s no need to set it up in the Xuanhuang World; just find a Small World with a large population.”

He stayed on the Immortal Boat for a few more days.

After thoroughly researching the Balanced Heaven Divine Art ritual, Li Fan finally left under the expectant gaze of the entire Immortal Boat.

With the Wooden Sword Mirage unsheathed, Li Fan returned to the Xuanhuang World.
