My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1569 - 1345: Fissures Across the Star Sea_2
Chapter 1569 -1345: Fissures Across the Star Sea_2
“This grand creation is certainly not within human capabilities…”
“Could it be, the work of a True Immortal? Like The Wall, intended to completely seal off the vitality of the Abyss Star Ocean.” Yin Shangren’s expression flickered with uncertainty.
As for Bai Hua, she had already gradually emerged from her previous panic.
“Holy Master, may I capture some vitality here?” she asked.
Li Fan’s eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment before replying, “If you only take a small amount, without provoking the turmoil of the dark river of vitality, there should not be any danger.”
“But remember, do not be greedy, know when to stop. Otherwise…”
Li Fan scrutinized the calmly flowing vitality with a solemn expression: “The quantity is overwhelmingly large, and its glorious momentum could burst forth suddenly; even though it is vitality, it can also kill!”
Bai Hua nodded, “I am well aware of this. In fact, there’s no use for me to have so much. I only need enough to awaken the Ice Sealed Liuli World…”
Bai Hua spoke in a somber tone, while manifesting her own Lustrous Golden Body.
The Gold brilliance, transparent in form, within the inner core was a miniature world carved in ice, starkly present.
One could vaguely see past scenes of countless cultivators, sects, and mountains and rivers.
“Liuli… blooming…”
Bai Hua chanted softly, and the golden figure instantly transformed into a 32-petaled Liuli Gold Flower.
Sacred, austere.
The Liuli Gold Flower flew into the River of Vitality without causing a splash of vitality to scatter.
It was just quietly Floating.
The 32 petals slowly unfolded.
Li Fan saw strands of vitality being drawn by the petals, all pouring into the miniature world at the center of the flower.
Yet, the immense vitality at hand seemed remarkably dense, evidently not so easily drawn out.
The 32-petaled Gold Flower exerted effort in unison, but what appeared in the central mirage were only a visible few drops, one, two.
Yet for that miniature world, even such a small amount of vitality was like nectar after a long drought.
Like a wilted flower touched by water, regaining its original freshness.
Various miraculous changes took place within that miniature world, which was the WanSheng Realm.
Bai Hua’s face blossomed with ecstatic joy.
Yin Shangren was momentarily captivated by this wondrous sight.
However, Li Fan noticed that due to Bai Hua’s action of drawing vitality, a mighty vitality began to slowly converge, forming a faint vortex around her.
The vortex, at first small, soon showed signs of rapid expansion.
It seemed as if the entire fissure’s vitality was rolling in, its might lying underneath the heavens, suppressing and sweeping everything away, forcing even Li Fan to take notice.
“Enough!” Li Fan furrowed his brows and called out in warning.
Bai Hua was quite sober, not blinded by immediate profit.
Despite her reluctance, she eventually retracted the 32-petaled Liuli Gold Flower.
Without an outlet, the gradually roaring dark river of vitality calmed down once again.
However, the converging vitality did not recede for a short time, creating a turbulent rapid at this spot.
Under the scouring of the Vitality Force, Li Fan and the others involuntarily felt as if their Divine Souls themselves were about to be swept away by it.
Li Fan had to reinforce the protection of the Wooden Sword Mirage Divine Technique.
Yin Shangren observed the seemingly calm but actually Strange Phenomena and perilous scene, then suddenly realized: “I now know where that contradictory and constantly dangerous feeling comes from! Because what flows here is not just vitality. Above the layer of vitality flows an unknown force that absorbs it!”
“It is this force that continuously draws vitality from all parts of the Star Sea, sealing it here!”
Having reverted to her normal form, Bai Hua nodded in agreement: “To separate this force from the pure vitality, that’s why it’s so difficult for me to absorb. Strictly speaking, the Rank of this stripping vitality force isn’t very high. Even I can separate it from vitality.”
“But…” A hint of fear flickered across Bai Hua’s face.
“Its quantity is simply too much. The fissure has as much of this stripping vitality force as it has vitality. We might be able to withstand a few waves of its Erosion, but we certainly cannot survive the endless onslaught.”
Having said this, Bai Hua couldn’t help but look at Li Fan.
She paused: “Perhaps, Holy Master, with your extraordinary and transcendent Escape Technique, you might escape unscathed.”
Li Fan did not respond.
Instead, he reached out to touch and feel the turbulent vitality rapid surrounding them.
The erosion of the stripping vitality force was so evident.

The hand that was impacted turned pale in an instant.
The flesh seemed drained, the bones visibly outlined beneath.
And this drain of vitality was slowly spreading to other parts of the body.
Li Fan decisively amputated the arm to stop the further Erosion of the stripping vitality force.
That severed hand fell into the River of Vitality.
Without the protection of its entity, it quickly melted and disappeared like a wax figure in high heat.
It became a part of the River of Vitality.
“This power…”
Having regrown his arm, Li Fan moved it slightly, recalling the details he had perceived before.
It was not a conventional extraction of vitality.
Instead, it swept clean the very foundation that vitality depended on in an instant.
Without the skin, how can the hair adhere? Without the foundation, there is nothing for vitality to cling to, and it can only drift with the current.
This is a profoundly mysterious sensation.
Li Fan still could not understand the true basis of vitality.
But he could clearly feel its loss.
“Indeed, it’s beyond comprehension.”
“But…”
“Does it share some commonality with the High Wall?”
Li Fan mused thoughtfully: “The so-called High Wall, in fact, represents the ultimate rule of limitation. There is no path ahead, or rather, there is no ‘ahead’ at all!”
“Whereas the power in these subterranean cracks deprives life of its foundation for sustenance.”
“…”
The fissures in the ground, hidden beneath the normal Star Sea.
Like subterranean dark rivers, they spread throughout the Star Sea.
Their enormous scale clearly indicates they could only be constructed by beings of great might.
“Perhaps as Yin Shangren speculated, these were made to extract and seal away the vitality of the Star Sea?”
But Li Fan immediately felt a hint of doubt.
It was indeed extracting vitality, but not completely.
Because the vast amount of vitality absorbed by the fissures over thousands of years was still lying here quietly!
Admittedly, entering these fissures is extremely difficult. Li Fan had not noticed the incredibly small nodal entrance no matter how many times he traveled to and from the Ruined World The Wall.
But it was not absolute.
There was still the possibility of entering by chance or coincidence.
Just like this time, Xu Ke was affected by the surging Echoing Star Power and accidentally entered into one of these fissures.
“If there was a real desire to sever the vitality of the Star Sea, with the power to create The Wall and carve out the fissures, one could absolutely extract this vitality beyond The Wall.”
“But it was oddly left within the Star Sea…”
Li Fan contemplated with an inexplicable expression: “Perhaps, the creator of the fissures and The Wall are not the same entity.”
“Or, it was done intentionally.”
Suddenly, a visualization of the entire Abyss Star Ocean appeared before Li Fan’s eyes.
Around the Star Sea, The Wall towers high, sealing it off.
At the bottom of the Star Sea, the fissures are densely packed, interconnected like channels, capturing and preserving the vitality of the Star Sea.
And on the frontier of the Star Sea.
The highest of The Wall, and the lowest of the fissures.
Converge at one point.
