My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 286: 266: Blue Flame Hiding Danger

“What an escape technique!”

After thoroughly studying the secret technique of the Violet Firmament Divine Thunder Jitsu, a hint of joy flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

He then felt a bit regretful: “It’s a pity that without the true intention of Divine Thunder from the Violet Firmament Thunder Secret Technique, the speed of this escape technique would be significantly reduced.”

“If I use it alone, it’s estimated that I can only reach half of the full speed.”

“However, even so, it’s much faster than the typical escape techniques sold in the TianXuan Mirror.”

Defeating Zhang Qianmo this time and acquiring a secret technique was an unexpected joy.

Normally, killing characters in the Fallen Immortal Realm wouldn’t yield any rewards.

If there were, exploring the Fallen Immortal realm would be easy; they could just group up and massacre.

Such a situation generally occurred because the obsessions of those killed were related to their defeat.

“Defeating Zhang Qianmo single-handedly?”

Li Fan couldn’t help but think so.

“However, without the Art of the Blue Flame Illusion, which greatly extended my time in the Fallen Immortal Realm…”

“Wearing Zhang Shixiong down would almost be impossible.”

Entering the absolute state of rationality of the Blue Flame Illusion Spirit extended the survival time in the Fallen Immortal Realm.

This was inspired by Chen Ying from the Medical Hall.

To improve the efficiency of exploring the Fallen Immortal Realm, Chen Ying needed to refine the Frost Intent Heartless Pill with Blue Blood Coral.

Once the Blue Blood Coral was imbued with a wisp of cold aura from the Lan Yu Illusion Spirit, the potency of the Frost Intent Heartless Pill refined from it had improved significantly.

At the time, Li Fan speculated that stimulating the special state of the Blue Flame Illusion Spirit could perhaps replace or even surpass the effect of taking the Frost Intent Heartless Pill.

This probing attempt turned out exactly as he had expected.

His reason to not use the Blue Flame Illusion Spirit during his previous explorations of the Fallen Immortal Realm is because of an underlying worry in his heart.

After practicing the Xuanhuang Inner Peace Spell to the point where it became an instinct, cultivating tirelessly for what felt like centuries…

Although there had not been any substantial breakthroughs, Li Fan’s understanding of his “spiritual state” far surpassed that of ordinary people.

This time, he maintained this special state in the Fallen Immortal Realm for nearly thirty days.

After emerging, despite his fatigue, Li Fan keenly sensed the “erosion” from the cold on himself.

After witnessing the existence of entities like the Celestial Doctor and “It” from the Dao Origin State, Li Fan had always harbored a sense of caution towards the higher powers of this world.

This was also true for the mysterious [Blue Flame] that he had conceived.

Unlike other techniques, the “Mystical Art of the Nether Spirit” and its advanced version “Spiritual Illusion Technique” belonged to a particular summoning series of techniques.

This cold and rational power did not come from the technique itself, but from the Illusion Spirit manifested by him, a fundamental difference.

Not to mention that this Blue Flame Spirit might even have a corresponding physical manifestation in the real world.

Li Fan could not possibly have complete trust in it.

Exceptional powers often came with corresponding drawbacks, it was a matter of course.

If used occasionally as a surprise attack, the drawbacks may be neutralized under the power of the Xuanhuang Inner Peace Spell.

But if it is used recklessly without restraint…

It’s possible that one’s mind might be changed without one noticing.

The inexplicable erosion he felt this time was the best proof.

Furthermore, while the Blue Flame Illusion Spirit did greatly increase his survival time in the Fallen Immortal Realm, the disadvantages were also quite obvious.

The Fallen Immortal Realm was a world created by consciousness.

This method of suppressing consciousness to a low level was certainly seen as a terrifying anomaly in the eyes of the inhabitants of the Fallen Immortal Realm.

The fact that Zhang Qianmo immediately saw through Li Fan and subsequently showed extreme caution proved this point.

It is only suitable for the final decision after the action plan is determined, rather than for routine exploration.

Regardless, with the help of the Blue Flame Illusion Spirit, Li Fan finally eliminated Zhang Qianmo, the obstacle in his way.

This made Li Fan, who had been trapped in Ningyuan City, very excited for his next visit to the Fallen Immortal Realm.

Given the vastness of the Fallen Immortal realm, far greater than the Xuanhuang World, being stuck in one place and not able to experience its mysteries would be a pity.

What a regrettable thing.

With the matter that had been weighing on his mind resolved, Li Fan couldn’t help feeling relieved.

After destroying the trace of his seclusion location on the seabed, Li Fan was about to return to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island when he suddenly received a message from Zhang Zhiliang.

Requesting Li Fan to come to the Array Strategy Hall.

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan did not delay.

Transforming the “Lian Henzhi” in his Dantian into the [Heart of Sevenfold Subtlety], he hurried to the Array Strategy Hall.

Upon entering the slanted metal building, Li Fan smoothly found Zhang Zhiliang’s location.

His figure stood tall, seemingly unchanged compared to before.

But the sense of crisis that constantly emerged in Li Fan’s heart was a feeling he had never had when facing Zhang Zhiliang previously.

“It seems…”

The thought just surfaced in his spirit consciousness, and Li Fan used the Xuanhuang Inner Peace Spell to suppress it.

“Master, I pay my respects!”

He bowed and paid his respect, his mind free of distractions.

Zhang Zhiliang took a look at Li Fan, nodded, and said, “It seems that your progress is good. As long as the opportunity comes, you can naturally break through to the Gold Core stage.”

The topic suddenly changed, and he asked, “You’ve already taken the Soul Partition Jade Scroll from me three times.”

“How is your study of the most recent Soul Partition Jade Scroll going?”

Li Fan reported the situation truthfully.

Zhang Zhiliang then threw a Knowledge Spirit Orb to him, indicating for Li Fan to test it.

When his spirit consciousness entered it, wave after wave of Array technique problems rushed at him.

Li Fan answered each one in turn.

Compared to the test by the Knowledge Spirit Orb given by Zhang Zhiliang in his previous life, the difficulty of this test was obviously much higher.

But after nearly ten years of continuous study of Array techniques, Li Fan was no longer ignorant.

When the test ended, Zhang Zhiliang, looking at the points lighting up on the Knowledge Spirit Orb, finally revealed a trace of satisfaction.

“Not bad.”

“Your progress may be insufficient, but your foundation is very solid.”

“It is clear that you have put in the hard work in the field of Array techniques.”

Li Fan bowed his head in response, “Master, you praise me too much. I know that I am slow-witted, so I have to work harder to catch up.”

Zhang Zhiliang laughed: “In just a few years, you have learned what I have taught about Array techniques to this point. Your aptitude is not bad!”

“Do not underestimate yourself!”

Zhang Zhiliang made a conclusion.

Of course, if he knew about Li Fan’s actual study time, he definitely wouldn’t think so.

Luckily, he didn’t know.

“Your aptitude is not bad, and you can work hard and selflessly.”

Zhang Zhiliang looked at Li Fan once more, and said: “In two years, there will be a closed training session for young Array Technique prodigies from the various states of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in Tianyu Province.”

“We, from Cloud Sea, have three slots.”

“I plan to give you one.”

“Are you willing to go?”
