My Simulated Road to Immortality

“Grade Nine Void Technique” was what he switched to cultivating after reaching the God Transformation Stage.

Its power, though not as great as the “Scripture of the Great Way of Heaven’s Punishment,” was also quite impressive.

It pointed directly to the Immortal Realm, which could be called an unsurpassed method.

Every cycle of “Grade Nine Void Technique” was achieved through self-insight, and each insight formed a Divine Technique exclusive to oneself. In any other sect, it would be considered a treasure.

Generally speaking, only the elders of the Sect and a few core disciples qualified to practice it.

It was thanks to Sister Zhao’s promotion to a Daoist child that Li Fan had the opportunity to cultivate this method against the rules.

But at this moment…

After having circulated the method several times, he found not only was his cultivation level not improving at all, but he could faintly sense the positions of his fellow disciples who were practicing the “Grade Nine Void Technique.”.

To an extent, the more he focused his senses, a killing intent welled up involuntarily in his heart.

“What on earth is going on?!” Li Fan was both shocked and terrified, his complexion instantly turning pale.

“Practices cannot be shared…This is the resistance of Heaven and Earth…” Sister Zhao, looking up at the sky and murmuring, “I didn’t expect that the predicted Tribulation would come in such a way.”

Practices cannot be shared..

Upon hearing these words, Li Fan felt his heart quivering. If he thought about it carefully, he could foresee the unavoidable bloody slaughter that the Immortal Cultivation World was about to face.

Since he embarked on cultivation, he had never felt as much bone-chilling fear as he was feeling at this moment.

However, now that he was a God Transforming cultivator, he was considered quite a figure in the outside world.

Despite his fear, he stayed calm. Li Fan, pacing back and forth in the room, began to think with a furrowed brow.

“The ‘Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth’ is practiced only by you and me. Although the effect is greatly reduced, it is not completely ineffective.”

“Does it mean that the more people practice the same technique, the stronger the restriction?”

“What’s foreseeable is that this unusual situation will have a devastating impact on all sects in the world. For sects with tens or hundreds of thousands of disciples, there are not enough cultivation methods for their disciples to practice!”

“The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals will also not fare well, they might even end up worse off than us! After all, they are a newly established organisation with inadequate roots compared to our Immortal Dao Ten Clans. There are limited cultivation methods, and the majority of their members are said to be cultivating the ‘Heavenly Net Divine Technique.’” A sinister light flickered in Li Fan’s eyes.

“This is a tribulation for all cultivators.”

Li Fan turned to look at Sister Zhao and, after hesitating for a moment, reminded, “Practices cannot be shared, there must be some sacrifices. The ‘Heaven Punishing Great Dao Scripture’ you cultivate conflicts with the Sect Leader…”

A cold light appeared on Sister Zhao’s face.

Just as she was about to speak, urgent and crisp chimes rang from outside the room.

“The Sect Leader is convening an emergency meeting. Presumably, it is to discuss how to deal with this Tribulation. I am leaving first.”

Her faint voice reached Li Fan’s ears only after her figure had disappeared.

“Do not worry, I know what I’m doing.”

Li Fan looked at the Sect Main Hall at the peak of the mountain, his expression uncertain.

“Cannot be shared …”

Alone, he went into the secret room in the house. Li Fan tried to recall the content of several cultivation methods he had encountered in the relics of the Mystic Sky Sect.

In addition to “The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth”, there was the “Eternal Sole Mantra”, “The Technique of Severing Souls and Illuminating the Spirit”, and “The Scripture of Heaven’s Lament and Earth’s Sorrow”.

Li Fan and Sister Zhao had studied these techniques privately.

However, the Mystic Sky Sect technique, whether in its cultivation method or its manifestation after cultivation, was completely different from the current ones. It is very likely to have certain unclear markers and restrictions like the Dual Cultivation method.

Hence, over the years, they only spent their time memorizing them after they were destroyed, but did not actually practice them.

“If push comes to shove, I will have no choice but to switch to these single lineage techniques of the Mystic Sky Sect.” Li Fan was very clear about his position in the Great Taoist Sect. It was absolutely incomparable to those few core disciples and he would be the first one to get eliminated, “Fortunately, the speed of cultivating new methods is very fast. Even if I have to start from scratch, I can easily recover.”

“Every blessing and calamity is predestined. Who would have thought that an adventure I experienced in my youth would play a decisive role after so many years? With these single lineage techniques, I should be able to survive this Great Calamity with a little care.” Li Fan’s gaze flickered as he submerged his consciousness into the cultivation method.

The highest level meeting of the Great Taoist Sect did not last long, and soon the Sect Leader, Ji Changxi, issued a manifest to reassure the disciples.

He told his disciples not to panic, as the Immortal Dao Ten Clans had begun to think of countermeasures.

Then he ordered all the disciples of the Great Taoist Sect in the outside world to return, intending to activate the Sect Protection Great Array and seal the mountain gate soon.

At the same time, the Elixir Chamber was instructed to produce life-prolonging elixirs at full capacity, to be prepared for all eventualities.

…

As the orders were issued, the disciples gradually calmed down.

The Immortal Dao Ten Clans have been passed on for thousands of years, they should be able to find a way to deal with this, right?

Most disciples thought this way.

In the extremely oppressive atmosphere, three years passed.

After three years, despite trying various ways, the cultivators hadn’t found a way to deal with the “Cannot-share-the-same-practice” situation.

On the contrary, there were rumors from the outside world that numerous sects were vying for cultivation methods and attacking each other, leading to the destruction of countless sects.

The only good news was that the elusive Celestial Dharma Bearer suddenly appeared.

He forcibly broke into the Supreme Sect and demanded the Chemoprevention Chapter from the “Supreme Primordial Scripture” for all cultivators.

With this wonderful technique, even if they were forced to abandon their cultivation methods, they would not lose much of their cultivation level.

“I have to thank the Celestial Dharma Bearer for that,” Li Fan exclaimed, feeling the pure cultivation in his Dantian rapidly enhance his realm as he activated the “Soul Severing Illuminating Art.”

“Hmph, thank him? If he hadn’t conjured up new methods, there would not have been a backlash from Heaven and Earth, or the onset of a Great Calamity. He harbored ill intentions, and his heart is condemnable!” Sister Zhao said coldly.

“According to the Sect Leader, they did try to investigate the Celestial Dharma Bearer when he started propagating the new methods.”

“But they seem to have failed to detect any anomalies.”

“At the time, they were too arrogant; they didn’t take him seriously. Also, there were… ”

“There were other matters to take care of, so they simply neglected him.”

“By the time they realized, the new methods were spreading like wildfire and it was too late to stop!”

“Regrettable!”

Sister Zhao, who had also switched cultivation methods, spoke coldly, a killing intent flashed in her eyes.
