My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 542: 514: Law Transmission Defies Heaven and Earth

Chapter 542: Chapter 514: Law Transmission Defies Heaven and Earth

Therefore, amidst the collective opposition from the entire sect, Sister Zhao resolutely married Li Fan.

The wedding was very simple, even a bit plain.

However, her master, Zhang Wangshuang, eventually attended. He watched the two newly-weds with a sigh, and then reluctantly gave a small smile.

That night, countless heartbroken disciples of the Great Taoist Sect got drunk. Some even started brawling.

It’s worth noting that the reason there were so many young disciples enamored with Sister Zhao was not just because of her beauty and strength, but also because of something indescribable that was captivating about her.

More importantly, after cultivating “The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth,” Sister Zhao’s latent feminine charm became even more attractive, which was almost irresistible.

Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, Sister Zhao was still a virgin.

So even though she has been living closely with Li Fan, there were still numerous suitors relentlessly pursuing her.

After the wedding, prompted by Li Fan, Sister Zhao removed her disguise.

While many people were heartbroken once again, there were still some hopeless romantics who refused to give up.

Because, after shedding her youthful naiveness, the mature charm emanating from her every frown and smile was even more tantalizing.

Luckily, Sister Zhao was completely devoted to Li Fan, which slightly relieved the pressure on him.

Yet, either for the sake of longevity or to protect Sister Zhao,

From then on, Li Fan became more diligent in his cultivation.

With an abundant supply of Spirit Stones and Elixirs, coupled with “The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth” Dual Cultivation, Li Fan’s cultivation level increased day by day.

Thirteen years passed in the blink of an eye.

On that day, a strange phenomenon occurred.

All living beings in the Xuanhuang World saw a kind and benevolent High Crowned Old Man, standing tall, holding up the heavens with his bare hands.

The phenomenon didn’t last long.

But all cultivators felt a complex mix of emotions indescribable in words.

Somewhat sadness, somewhat perplexity, somewhat anger.

Various emotions intertwined, creating a mixture of feelings.

After the old man’s figure disappeared, all cultivators slowly understood.

Today, the Dharma Transmission Immortal Elders ascended to eternal life.

From now on, people should address him as the Celestial Dharma Bearer.

With his individual power, he changed the cultivation path for all. From now on, cultivators could only cultivate according to the method he set up to seize the heaven and earth.

Although many years have passed, most cultivators in the world have now switched to the new method.

However, there are still quite a few who stubbornly adhere to the old path of [Unity of Man and the Divine].

Now, he has directly cut off the old path.

Among those ancient method cultivators who were derisively called “old antiques,” some committed suicide in despair.

Some left in rage and chose to hide from the world ever since.

Chaos was taking place in all corners of the Xuanhuang World, including the Great Taoist Sect.

The new method has been established, and its momentum was unstoppable.

These chaotic events were merely small splashes in the unstoppable current, unable to change the course of the entire river.

After the chaos subsided, it was followed by a period of rare peace and explosive growth.

The number and quality of cultivators were both increasing at a terrifying speed.

Even Li Fan, whose talent was average, was able to reach the God Transformation Realm after switching to the new method, given the abundance of resources, in just over twenty years.

Not to mention the other elite disciples in the sect.

If it weren’t for the scarcity and unpredictability of the Essence of Heaven and Earth,

There would probably be a surge of Integration Cultivators.

Sister Zhao, being the most prominent junior disciple of the Great Taoist Sect, eventually succeeded in her Unity-Path after undergoing a series of tests.

She became one of the few true disciples of the Great Taoist Sect.

“Congratulations, congratulations! With the rising tides lifting all boats, only those who have reached the Unity Realm are now deemed worthy to be true disciples.” Li Fan kissed Sister Zhao and congratulated her while holding her in his arms.

However, her face didn’t show much joy. Instead, a trace of worry unusually appeared.

Having been with her for decades and understanding her well, Li Fan was surprised. This was a rare occurrence for Sister Zhao.

Right away, he asked with concern, “What are you worried about, Sister Zhao?”

“While I was breaking through, I inexplicably felt a sensation.” Sister Zhao waved her hand, sealing off the surrounding space.

Then she whispered, “This seemingly prosperous, lively Immortal World, seems like oil over fire. While it’s flourishing intensely, there seems to be some crisis lurking.”

“Once it breaks out…”

Li Fan was shocked.

He knew that the momentary enlightenment during the breakthrough to the Realm of Unification was almost infinitely close to the [Unity of Man and the Divine] in the ancient methods. The insights in this phase certainly weren’t baseless.

Although they didn’t know where the crisis would come from, it didn’t prevent them from making preparations for any potential massive changes in Heaven and Earth.

Having practiced together for many years, the two had become inseparable, forming a community of shared interests.

Without alarming others, they continued to cultivate as usual while secretly gathering resources in preparation for the imminent catastrophic changes in Heaven and Earth.

What they didn’t expect was that they would wait for more than thirty years.

Time flies, and there was no sign of any catastrophe. The couple both considered their previous premonition as an illusion.

In the three decades, Sister Zhao, with her increasingly profound cultivation and overwhelming combat power,

Became the designated Dao Child of the Great Taoist Sect and received the “The Scripture of the Great Way of Heaven’s Punishment.”

If there were no accidents, she would become the next head of the Great Taoist Sect after the current one passed away a few years later.

Sister Zhao was filled with emotions, and Li Fan also felt genuinely happy for her.

However, their joy didn’t last long.

One day, the earth-shattering catastrophe they had nearly forgotten about suddenly descended.

The arrival was so sudden, so unexpected, and so difficult for the cultivators to accept,

That all their years of “preparation” turned out to be a joke.

Li Fan and Sister Zhao first noticed the anomaly during their dual cultivation.

“Hmm?”

After another soul-satisfying dual cultivation session, Li Fan voiced his confusion.

“What’s wrong?”

Sister Zhao, who hadn’t yet woken from the joy, asked.

“Is it just me, or was our dual cultivation less effective this time?”

Li Fan frowned deeply.

“Could it be that we’ve hit another bottleneck?”

After reaching the Unity-Path, the cultivation gained through dual cultivation was no longer as conspicuous. Therefore, Sister Zhao had not noticed anything abnormal before.

However, after being reminded by Li Fan, and after checking herself, her face subtly changed.

“There’s no bottleneck, but the efficacy has largely diminished.”

“Let’s try again and see.”

Li Fan nodded in agreement.

A long while later,

Li Fan spoke seriously, “Why did it suddenly lose its effect?”

“Could it be that “The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth”…”

Just as they were speaking, noises and disturbances were heard from outside.

“It’s not just the dual cultivation method, but all techniques…”

“Are having problems!”

Sister Zhao finally realized what was happening, quickly stood up, her face turning pale.
