My Simulated Road to Immortality

"In the past, the Immortal Emperor Zhai Yang paid homage to the Taiyi Saint Lord, but due to unfortunate fate, he never saw the saint's face. Yet he was fortunate enough to be bestowed with a scroll of scripture."

"Later, after I contributed to resisting Dao Yan, the Immortal Emperor Zhai Yang rewarded me with this scroll of scripture."

"At that time, the Immortal Emperor remarked that this scripture was personally authored by the Saint Lord and was too profound. The Taiyi Saint Lord, pitying that mortals could not understand it, then commanded you, Great Venerable, to annotate it..."

Benevolent Transformation spoke very quickly, because he keenly noticed that the immortals of the Sea of the Northern Stars who came with him, as well as the reinforcements from the Guangwu Star Sea, were all gradually transforming into miniature Heavenly Pillars at this moment.

It appears that Venerable Wuji's power is truly terrifying. Among the group of immortals, there are those whose strength is not weaker than his, yet they possess not a shred of resistance, almost entirely annihilated.

Benevolent Transformation's heart was overflowing with fear, and he hurriedly pulled out the scripture he thought might save his life.

[Mountain and Sea Primordial Scripture]!

Li Fan watched the scroll of scripture floating above Benevolent Transformation's head, waved his large hand, and seized it.

Indeed, from the countless tiny characters on it, he felt the aura belonging to [Limitless].

"So you're saying, between you and me, there is some connection?"

Li Fan examined the scripture.

He admitted his identity as [Venerable Wuji] calmly while speaking.

"Great Venerable, you truly have eyes like torches!" Benevolent Transformation nodded repeatedly.

His spirit consciousness was rapidly contemplating information about the Great Venerable under the saint's seat.

The Four Saint Lords of the Immortal World almost only exist in legend. Even successive Immortal Emperors find it incredibly difficult to meet them.

However, aside from the Scripture Tomb Saint Lord, the other three saints have representatives under their seats.

Among them, the Venerable Wuji before him is the easiest to converse with.

As long as one follows his wishes, pleases him, and even pulls some relational strings in conversation, one can often win the favor of this venerable.

"This scroll [Mountain and Sea Primordial Scripture] is a reflection of the Taiyi Saint Lord's inspiration from the Lian Shan and Gui Hai Saint Lords, creating the mighty Immortal World from nothing. Its words are deeply profound, almost transcending the Tao. I, Benevolent Transformation, am dull in qualification. Without your annotations, Great Venerable, even with the treasured scripture in hand, I cannot comprehend its mysteries."

"Great Venerable, you are indeed my teacher!"

"At the time Zhai Yang Immortal Emperor entrusted this scripture to me, he also said that your attainment in Taoist technique far exceeds his own. No wonder you belong to the Saint Lord Sect!" Benevolent Transformation did not care about the past and deceased Immortal Emperor anymore, uttering nonsense.

Li Fan was carefully examining the scripture amidst Benevolent Transformation's flattering words.

In a sense, Benevolent Transformation was not entirely lying.

This [Mountain and Sea Primordial Scripture], although describing the opening of the Immortal World amidst the Infinite Sea and Upper Mountain, also contains vast inspiration from the Taiyi Saint Lord himself witnessing these grand events.

It is quite similar to the [Rambles from the Guarded Hill] Li Fan previously obtained.

But compared to Lord Guardian Hill's straightforward expression, the Taiyi Saint Lord is much more 'literary.' The entire scripture is almost devoid of plain depiction, instead filled with seemingly meaningless words and phrases.

If not for the Taiyi Saint Lord's personal transmission, Li Fan almost mistook it for the ravings of some madman.

This astounding scripture seems not meant for mortal eyes. The various immortals in the Immortal World are also within the range of mortals. Only the other Saint Lords may be suitable readers of this scripture.

If not for the annotation of Limitless.

Venerable Wuji, who is also the Tiandu Grand Master, after serving countless years before the Taiyi Saint Lord, gained insights more easily than anyone else into what the Saint Lord thought.

His annotations may not be entirely aligned with the original intentions of the Saint Lord, yet they are almost ninety percent accurate.

Based on the text itself, Li Fan indeed cannot understand it.

But, with the added annotation by the Grand Master, he can barely glimpse the heart of the Taiyi Saint Lord.

A segment of the text:

At the moment when Lian Shan Saint Lord attained the title of the first immortal in the world, all living beings in existence benefited from it in one way or another. All beings were immersed in immense joy. Only the Taiyi Saint Lord, amid faint joy, felt equally significant apprehension. At the time, the Taiyi Saint Lord could not yet understand where this worry came from.

Another segment talks about when Guihai Saint Lord opened the Infinite Spring and invited Saint Lords Lian Shan, Taiyi, and others to witness the event. Guihai jokingly said to Lian Shan: "Brother, do you know whether the mountain or the sea is taller? If not, we can watch and see." Lian Shan replied with a laugh: "The mountain may be tall, and the sea may be deep. However, an immortal can stand atop the mountain peak and also tread upon the Infinite Spring. Hence, the immortal is the tallest." Guihai applauded with laughter. Taiyi Saint Lord, in the midst of these two Saint Lords, fleetingly saw the mighty sight of mountain and sea, and his heart unexpectedly filled with concern at that moment.

...

Using this [Mountain and Sea Primordial Scripture], Li Fan felt as if he had returned to the creation of the Immortal World, personally experiencing ancient past events through the perspective of Taiyi Saint Lord.

Besides the matters of the various Saint Lords and the nascent Immortal World, the scripture also tells of primordial spirits and the Taichu Immortal Realm.

It was an almost boundless wild continent, filled with numerous wondrous primordial spirits. Some of these beings manifested the Tao, some gained intelligence as extraordinary objects, and others were 'humans.'

However, the 'humans' in that Taichu Immortal Realm were far stronger than present-day mortals. Perhaps due to being nourished by the heavens and the earth, these 'humans' could hunt the primordial spirits embodying the Tao on the continent, digest and absorb them, and use them.
