My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 234: 216: Discussing Martial Arts While Sitting

The exact purpose was not clearly stated.

It was quite clear that if you got it, you got it.

“It has only just reached the 10-year mark, so there is no hurry to go there.” Li Fan contemplated in silence.

“When the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters opens at the Il-year mark, let’s see if my clone can obtain another technique from Qin Tang.” “Then let my clone make a trip.”

With this decision made, Li Fan temporarily put the matter aside.

He turned to Jiang Zhengji of the Martial Arts Battle Hall to inquire about how to enhance his practical combat skills.

His purpose for doing so was not just to improve his own combat power.

Most importantly, Li Fan wanted to defeat Zhang Qianmo of the Violet Firmament Sect in the Fallen Immortal Realm as soon as possible, to see if he could then go elsewhere.

Yes, Li Fan realized that he was trapped in Ningyuan City within the Fallen Immortal Realm.

In this life, he had entered the Fallen Immortal Realm three times already.

The space-time node he logged into each time remained the same.

It was always before he followed Zhang Qianmo to Ningyuan City to collect the Longevity Fruit.

In order to break this cycle, Li Fan made three different attempts.

The first attempt followed the “plot direction”: he played dead.

Then, while Zhang Qianmo and others like Song Hesong were engrossed in the battle and paid no attention, he slipped out of Ningyuan City unnoticed. Unfortunately, he had not flown far when he was caught up with by Zhang Qianmo.

Zhang Qianmo called him a heretic and finally killed Li Fan with a Violet Firmament Divine Thunder.

The second time, Li Fan rebelled directly. He secretly messaged Song Hesong, planning to jointly attack Zhang Qianmo.

Zhang Qianmo was seriously injured, but Li Fan and his allies were helpless against the Purple Elixir within Zhang Qianmo’s body.

After his rebirth, Zhang Qianmo’s strength improved greatly, and he easily killed Li Fan and the rest one by one.

The third time, Li Fan directly made an excuse, saying he didn’t want to go to Ningyuan City and wanted to return to his sect.

Who knew that Zhang Qianmo’s face would change immediately, and without a word, he started the fight.

Li Fan fought with him for a while, but still ended up losing.

This continued disappointment was indeed frustrating.

However, he was indeed no match for Zhang Qianmo.

In the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, methods to enhance a cultivator’s combat skills are strictly confidential.

Even with Li Fan’s current level 10 authority, he still couldn’t find any useful information.

So, Li Fan could only approach the issue with a hopeful mentality, asking Jiang Zhengji from the Martial Arts Battle Hall.

His reply was just as Li Fan had expected: “Confidential techniques of the

Martial Arts Battle Hall cannot be taught to outsiders.”

“I’m afraid I can’t be of help in this matter.”

Given that he had asked casually without much expectation, Li Fan still thanked him politely.

Jiang Zhengji, out of caution or curiosity, soon sent a message asking: “May I know why you want to enhance your combat skills? As far as I know, you’re just an Array Master, aren’t you? Do you have some enemy?”

Li Fan was taken aback, but quickly regained his composure. He replied, “Not really. I just often spar with a friend and always end up losing. I can’t accept the outcome.”

“As a matter of fact, whether I improve my fighting skill or not doesn’t matter. I just want to defeat him once.”

After a while, Jiang Zhengji replied: “Ah, I see. The competitive spirit is natural to all people. I can understand that.”

“I may not be able to assist you in improving your combat skills, but if you want to defeat an opponent, I do have an idea.”

Li Fan was immediately enthralled, “Please, do tell!”

“Our Martial Arts Battle Hall has applied for a functional partition named [Seated Discourse] in the Tianxuan Realm.”

“By using the powerful calculation ability of the Tianxuan Mirror, we can input the realm, techniques, divine techniques, and secret techniques of both fighters to simulate the combat process.”

“There is no need to know the specifics of the techniques. All that is required is the description of their actual performance in battle.”

“Based on the level of strength described, the Tianxuan Mirror will create [Philosophers of the Virtual Path] with varying levels of power.”

“After creating a [Philosopher] of your own, you can not only spar with your virtual self, but also compete with [Philosophers] created by others.” “This is what we refer to as [Seated Discourse].”

“Of course, the Tianxuan Mirror will modify the power of the created [Philosophers] based on reality. Exaggerated claims such as ‘can easily tear open space at the Golden Core Realm’ are not feasible.”

Hearing this, Li Fan instantly became interested.

He asked, without reservation, “Is this feature exclusive to your Martial Arts

Battle Hall? What should I do if I want to use it?”

Jiang Zhengji immediately replied: “Haha, although it usually isn’t open to outsiders, if someone inside invites you, an outsider can also use it.”

Saying this, he sent over an icon of black and white intertwined characters.

Two figures, one sitting on the left and the other on the right.

In the middle was a traditional ‘Dao’ character.

Li Fan touched it with his divine sense.

Then he received a prompt from the Tianxuan Mirror.

“[Seated Discourse] has been loaded, inviter: Jiang Zhengji of Ten Thousand Immortals Island.”

“Cultivator Li Fan, you have activated the [Seated Discourse] feature.”

“We are giving you one opportunity to create a Philosopher and three opportunities to spar for free.”

“From now on, you can view and utilize the [Seated Discourse] function at any time.”

Li Fan, being very perceptive, noticed the words “gift” and “free,” and he instantly saw the pattern.

However, as the affluent Li Fan, he didn’t care about such minor expenditure of contribution points.

So he silently opened the [Seated Discourse] to have a look.

In an instant, many messages flooded into his view.

“(Unity Realm) Sister Zhao is the best in the world! With one person and one sword, she suppresses the Great Taoist Sect. The undefeated of all time! Dare to fight!”

“(Nascent Soul Realm) The Mid-Age Sky Wasteland Emperor, independently defies all time, and is unrivaled in this era. He has won thirty-three consecutive victories, welcoming all fellow Daoists to challenge!”

“(Nascent Soul Realm) The Mid-Age Sky Leaf Emperor, unmatched in strategic heart art, possesses a holy body. He is not inferior to the Sky Wasteland Emperor!”

“(God Transformation Stage) Peak of the Immortal, proud of the world, with my Lan An there is heaven! Newly created Philosopher, in a word, invincible!”

“(Unity Realm) Immortal Master Yu Lan, welcomes all [real] and [Philosopher] challengers. Those Philosophers who come from all sorts of fictional novels, can you please not apply for a duel? What’s the point of always daydreaming? I won’t agree to it.”

Li Fan looked at these messages one by one and couldn’t help but make a strange expression.

Turns out, the majority of the [Philosophers] created by the cultivators in [Seated Discourse] were actually fictional characters from novels.

For instance, Sister Zhao of the Great Taoist Sect, whom Li Fan knew about.

She was the protagonist of the novel “Ancient Cultivation Secrets” that he had read before.

This novel, written in the first person perspective, narrated how Sister Zhao, starting as an external disciple, went through various trials, step by step becoming an inner-door disciple, a true disciple, and finally the head of the Great Taoist Sect.

Unexpectedly, Sister Zhao was quite popular.

In this [Seated Discourse], at a glance, dozens of cultivators chose to create [Philosophers] modeled after her..
