My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1647 - 1379: Bones of the Nameless Immortal

"Hai Zhen!"

As Li Fan silently chanted in his heart, a layer of water mist instantly enveloped all the surroundings.

However, Li Fan was startled to discover that not far away, the Unworded Stele—also known as the Southern Celestial Heaven Pillar—its "color" was faintly able to penetrate the mist of Hai Zhen!

Its brilliance remained pristine as ever.

At the same time, near the Unworded Stele, the True Immortal from the Immortal Ruins still vaguely revealed her silhouette.

The interception by Tianyang and Qiu Shui seemed to have failed to hold her for long. The streak of color within the mist grew increasingly closer to Li Fan.

But just as she had slowed down when nearing the Unworded Stele during her approach in the Immortal Domain, her speed in closing in on Li Fan similarly reduced and eventually came to a complete stop.

Thick, dense fog entirely obscured the True Immortal from the Immortal Ruins. Even the Unworded Stele became faintly visible at best.

"That is..."

Li Fan couldn’t help but direct his gaze toward the Unworded Stele.

He could vaguely see that aside from the two True Immortal Seal Characters formed earlier by the True Immortal from the Immortal Ruins and the white arc "Luo Fan Chen," another character—no, countless characters—began to manifest on the stele all at once, densely packed, flooding its surface!

An indescribable and terrifying impact erupted suddenly from the Southern Celestial Heaven Pillar. Even though it became increasingly difficult to make sense of the scenery within the Star Sea, the ripple-like movements continuously stirring within the Hai Zhen mist made the immense force of this impact evident.

"Pfft!" Despite having the protection of Hai Zhen’s white mist, the instant the countless characters surged into Li Fan’s eyesight, his brain felt as though hammered relentlessly hundreds of times.

His Divine Soul quaked and boiled, and his consciousness was nearly shredded to pieces.

Fortunately, at that very moment, the Southern Celestial Heaven Pillar itself could no longer withstand such pressure either.

With a deafening explosion, it shattered into countless fragments!

Whether it was mere coincidence or some unseen influence, the largest fragment unexpectedly shot straight toward Li Fan.

Its speed outpaced the pursuit of the True Immortal from the Immortal Ruins by a factor of thousands.

It pierced through the fabric of conventional spacetime in an instant and arrived within Hai Zhen’s white mist!

At the same time, Hai Zhen’s white mist completely swallowed the world.

The fragment, upon its arrival into the mist, lost all speed and luster. It merely drifted silently at the edge of the fog.

Barely regaining his senses after being shaken to disorientation, Li Fan gazed at his surroundings—still enshrouded by the fog—and pondered on his predicament, especially the state of not yet returning to the established anchor point.

After carefully sensing the fluctuations transmitted by Hai Zhen, Li Fan cautiously motioned for the fragment, drawing it closer to his hand.

A familiar glow exploded forth. The interrupted Hai Zhen progression resumed once more.

Scenes from his previous life emerged one by one, sequentially reappearing before his eyes.

Before Li Fan’s consciousness plunged into darkness, he realized at some unknown moment, the fragment of the Unworded Stele in his grasp had already vanished.

...

Anchor Point: 1 year, Dissociative Mountain Peak!

20-year-old Li Fan reopened his eyes.

"Whew!"

This time, the end of the simulation and rebirth did not bring about a sense of being disconnected from prior lives. Everything he had experienced—the tension, danger, and mind-boggling occurrences—remained vivid.

It seemed as though similar events had also unfolded in this life.

Instinctively, Li Fan glanced at the Hai Zhen interface.

The energy recharge level held at 31%.

When Hai Zhen first began, the recharge progress had peaked at 400%—a clear indication of just how perilous the end of his previous life had been.

Though he had successfully returned to the established anchor point, Li Fan remained somewhat unsettled internally.

He stepped out of the thatched cottage and approached the cliff’s edge at the mountain summit, facing the vast cloud sea.

His gaze tightened on the Hai Zhen panel, noticing something newly added to the list of retained items.

[...Leg Bone]

The two characters "Leg Bone" were preceded by distorted, blurred symbols, whose meaning Li Fan couldn’t decipher.

Naturally, however, Li Fan understood where this bone had come from.

"The Unworded Stele, Southern Celestial Heaven Pillar?"

"Could the Immortal Heavenly Pillar have been forged from the leg bone of some powerful existence?"

Li Fan’s mind trembled with astonishment.

The incomprehensible, twisted symbols immediately reminded him of tales pertaining to the Legendary Nameless True Immortal.

This bold conjecture sparked countless thoughts within Li Fan’s Spirit Consciousness.

"But right now, the most pressing matter is..."

"Ensuring my own safety."

Casually picking up a stone at his feet, he gripped it tightly in his hand and silently chanted to himself.

Hai Zhen’s enhancement followed promptly.

"Consume an available anchor point to replace the bound item... Leg Bone."

The instant the enhancement prompt appeared, Li Fan inexplicably let out a breath of relief.

Hai Zhen had not spiraled out of control. He still possessed the utmost authority over Hai Zhen.

The appearance of this leg bone merely signified that during his previous Hai Zhen process, an unintended stowaway had accompanied him.

"Even so, this Nameless True Immortal leg bone is truly extraordinary."

Li Fan’s heart was filled with awe.

For now, unable to ascertain the leg bone’s true origin, he could only tentatively label it as belonging to a Nameless True Immortal.

First opting for "No" to keep the Nameless True Immortal leg bone, Li Fan examined the fragment of the stele displayed on the Hai Zhen panel, his expression grave.

Reflecting on the multitude of events that transpired at the end of his previous life.

"The Unworded Stele, also called the Southern Celestial Heaven Pillar, has the ability to resist the Dao Extinction Tribulation to a certain extent." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Given its designation as the Southern Celestial Heaven Pillar, it suggests that the Immortal World once possessed multiple such pillars."

"The Leg Bone... Could it be that other Heaven Pillars were forged from bones belonging to other parts of the Nameless True Immortal’s body? Or perhaps, from other Nameless True Immortals." Li Fan felt a chill creep through his heart.

"In its initial state, the Southern Celestial Heaven Pillar was mostly inert when faced with the Dao Extinction Tribulation. It was only when the Hungry Immortal infused it with the essence of the [Hunger] Character Art that it transformed into the Sky-Supporting Light Pillar, effectively countering the Dao Extinction Tribulation. The Unworded Stele appears to possess a Supreme Divine Technique capable of manifesting all entities back to their original Great Dao principles, and embodying those laws through True Immortal Seal Characters engraved upon its surface."
