My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1384: The Bone of the Nameless Immortal

'[Truth].'

As Li Fan silently uttered those words in his heart, a layer of watery mist instantly enveloped everything around him.

However, Li Fan was astonished to discover that the color of the Wordless Stele in the distance, also known as the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar, could faintly penetrate the mist of [Truth].

It remained as brilliant as before.

Along with it, the figure of the Immortal Ruins True Immortal beside the Wordless Stele could also be vaguely seen.

The interception by Tianyang and Qiushui seemed to have been unable to stop her for long. That strand of color within the mist was drawing closer and closer to Li Fan.

Yet just as when she had approached the Wordless Stele in the Immortal Realm, the closer she got to Li Fan, the slower her advance became.

Until she came to a complete stop.

The dense fog completely obscured the Immortal Ruins True Immortal. Even the Wordless Stele became indistinct and barely visible.

Li Fan could not help turning his gaze toward the Wordless Stele.

He could vaguely see that besides the two True Immortal seal script characters formed earlier by the Immortal Ruins True Immortal and White Circle Descends into the Mortal World, a third character had begun to manifest on the stele.

Or rather, countless characters were appearing at the same time, densely packed across the surface of the Wordless Stele!

An indescribably terrifying impact suddenly erupted from the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar. Although the scene within the Star Sea had already become impossible to see clearly, the sheer might of the impact could be discerned from the white mist of [Truth] that continued to ripple outward like waves.

'Pfft!'

Even with the white mist of [Truth] protecting him, the instant countless characters flooded into Li Fan's eyes, his brain felt as though it had been struck hundreds of times in succession by a heavy hammer.

His divine soul shook violently and boiled over, and his consciousness nearly tore apart.

Fortunately, at this very moment, the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar itself could no longer withstand such terrifying pressure.

With a thunderous explosion, it shattered into countless fragments!

Perhaps it was merely a coincidence, or perhaps some other factor was at work. In any case, the largest fragment unexpectedly flew straight toward Li Fan.

It was more than a thousand times faster than the pursuing Immortal Ruins True Immortal.

In an instant, it pierced through ordinary spacetime and arrived within the white mist of [Truth]!

At the same time, the white mist of [Truth] completely swallowed the world.

The moment the fragment entered the white mist, it lost all its speed and radiance. It simply floated quietly at the edge of the mist.

Li Fan, who had been shaken senseless, finally managed to regain his bearings.

Looking at the surroundings still shrouded in mist and facing the situation in which he had yet to return to his predetermined anchor point, Li Fan fell into deep thought.

After carefully sensing the fluctuations transmitted by [Truth], Li Fan cautiously beckoned with his hand and brought the fragment over.

A familiar light screen suddenly erupted.

The interrupted [Truth] process resumed once again.

Scene after scene from his previous life surfaced in succession.

Before Li Fan's consciousness sank into darkness, he suddenly discovered that at some point, the fragment of the Wordless Stele in his hand had already disappeared.

...

Anchor Year 1, Summit of Jieli Mountain!

Li Fan, twenty years old, opened his eyes once again.

'Phew!'

The simulation had ended, and he had begun another life. Yet this time, Li Fan did not experience the feeling of having lived through another lifetime.

The series of dangerous, thrilling, and utterly bizarre events he had experienced at the end of his previous life remained vividly etched in his mind.

It was as though they had happened in this life as well.

Li Fan instinctively glanced at the [Truth] panel.

The charging progress remained at 31 percent.

One had to know that when [Truth] had begun, its charging progress had been as high as 400 percent.

This alone was enough to show just how dangerous the events at the end of his previous life had been.

Although he had successfully returned to his predetermined anchor point once again, Li Fan still felt somewhat uneasy.

He walked out of the thatched hut and came to the edge of the cliff at the mountain summit, facing the vast sea of clouds.

His gaze remained fixed on the [Truth] panel, specifically on a new item that had suddenly appeared among the objects he had retained.

[...Leg Bone]

Before the words 'Leg Bone' were a series of distorted and blurred symbols. Li Fan could not determine what they represented.

But naturally, Li Fan knew where this bone had come from.

'The Wordless Stele, the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar?'

'This Immortal Celestial Pillar was actually forged from the leg bone of some existence?'

Li Fan's mind was deeply shaken.

The distorted and blurred symbols that he could not see clearly immediately reminded Li Fan of the legendary Nameless Immortal.

This bold speculation caused countless thoughts to burst forth in Li Fan's mind.

'But right now, the most important thing is...'

'Ensuring my own safety.'

Li Fan casually picked up a stone beside his feet and held it tightly in his hand as he silently thought.

The prompt from [Truth] immediately followed.

'Consume one available anchor point to replace the bound item... Leg Bone?'

The moment the prompt appeared, Li Fan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

[Truth] had not lost control.

He still possessed the highest authority over [Truth].

The appearance of this leg bone merely meant that during his previous [Truth] process, he had brought along an additional stowaway.

'Even so, this Nameless Immortal's leg bone is truly extraordinary.'

Li Fan was secretly alarmed.

Since he could not yet determine the true origin of the leg bone, he could only provisionally refer to its owner as the Nameless Immortal.

He first selected 'No', choosing to retain the Nameless Immortal's leg bone.

Staring at the fragment within the [Truth] panel, Li Fan's expression became solemn.

He recalled everything that had happened at the end of his previous life.

'That Wordless Stele, also known as the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar, can resist the Dao Annihilation Calamity to a certain extent.'

'Since it bears the name Southern Immortal Heaven, it means that in the ancient Immortal Realm, there must have been more than one Celestial Pillar like this.'

'Leg bone... Could it be that the other Celestial Pillars were also forged from the bones of other parts of the Nameless Immortal? Or perhaps they were forged from the remains of other Nameless Immortals?'

A faint chill crept into Li Fan's heart.

'When the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar first faced the Dao Annihilation Calamity, it was essentially unmoved. It was only after the Hunger Immortal infused it with the [Hunger] Character seal script she had comprehended that it formed a pillar of light supporting the heavens. Only then was it able to successfully resist the Dao Annihilation Calamity.'

'The Wordless Stele seems to possess an unparalleled divine ability capable of causing all things to reappear in their original Dao laws, and then manifesting those laws upon the stele in the form of True Immortal seal script characters.'

'It was precisely because I saw this that I suddenly had an idea and unleashed White Ring Descends into Mortal World. Naturally, I was not trying to save the Hunger Immortal's life. After all, I had already been prepared to use [Truth] at that time. I simply wanted to see through the origins of White Ring Descends into Mortal World.'

'As expected, Descends into Mortal World represented some extremely powerful law of the mortal world...'

Li Fan carefully recalled the character that had manifested upon the Wordless Stele in his previous life.

'[Innate].'

'It is almost on the same level as [Creation].'

'Back then, Dao Inscription Immortal could manifest the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth through True Immortal seal script characters. But now, beyond the High Wall, could the power of laws actually be solidified and forged into physical objects?'

The shock in Li Fan's heart was even greater than when he had just learned that the Nameless Immortal's leg bone had appeared.

'However, I still cannot determine whether White Ring Descends into Mortal World is truly an existence originating beyond the High Wall...'

Li Fan pressed against his throbbing temples and took a deep breath.

His thoughts returned to their proper course.

“The Wordless Stele manifested into the world and absorbed everything, both things and phenomena, from the Star Sea outside the Immortal Realm. It seemed to be trying to reproduce the laws of the Myriad Daos of Heaven and Earth upon the stele, restoring the true form of the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar.”

“Everything I saw, and everything that exists within the Star Sea, was transformed into countless threads that became shadows added to the Wordless Stele. This proves that point.”

“And then…”

When his thoughts reached this point, a strange light suddenly burst forth from Li Fan’s eyes.

“[Truth] was activated. The Wordless Stele sensed it, and countless characters manifested upon its surface!”

At that moment, the characters that appeared upon the stele were simply too numerous and too complex.

Even with the assistance of the Dao Deviation Stone, Li Fan was completely incapable of remembering them.

He could not even retain a basic impression.

He only vaguely remembered seeing dozens of True Immortal seal script characters that he was familiar with, but which were far more complete and pure.

However, Li Fan did not feel any regret or disappointment.

He had a premonition that if he had been too greedy and disregarded the consequences, forcibly attempting to remember all the True Immortal seal script characters on the entire stele...

His fate would only have been the same as the Wordless Stele in his previous life.

He would have been blown to pieces in an instant!

“Although it was forged from the leg bone of an Nameless True Immortal and is known as the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar, even it cannot withstand the countless characters manifested by [Truth]…”

“It survived the destruction catastrophe of the Immortal Realm, only to be buried by its own nature.”

Li Fan secretly shook his head and warned himself to be cautious. At the same time, he gained a new understanding of [Truth].

“Since the Wordless Stele is known as an Immortal Celestial Pillar, perhaps it once had multiple True Immortal seal script characters engraved upon it, allowing it to resist the Dao Annihilation Calamity on behalf of the Immortal Realm.”

“This is also why countless insights continuously surged into my mind the instant I saw it. Although the True Immortal seal script characters on the stele disappeared for some unknown reason, some traces of their inscriptions still remain.”

“All things in the world are manifestations of the Dao. If one could grasp every way of the Dao, then with a single thought, one could manifest everything in the world. This is what is known as the Transformation Between Truth and Falsehood.”

At this moment, Li Fan had still not chosen the option to inherit [Truth]. He remained an ordinary mortal in every sense.

Yet he stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowing slightly.

A powerful pressure suddenly surged from his body.

In that instant, Li Fan’s cultivation returned to the peak of the Soul Transformation Realm, founded upon the countless transformations of the Xuanhuang Annihilation of All Things.

With a flick of his finger, a streak of meteoric light shot upward from the mountain peak.

It tore through the sky of the Great Xuan small world, revealing the faint and secluded void beyond.

Only after completing all this did the profound aura surrounding Li Fan slowly disappear.

“My comprehension of the Transformation Between Truth and Falsehood has reached another level.”

“Without relying on [Truth] itself, I can now briefly reproduce the cultivation I once possessed. Moreover, in that instant, I can unleash a full-powered strike.”

“Although this transformation cannot yet be maintained for long, its significance to me is extraordinary.”

Li Fan opened the [Truth] interface and selected the option to inherit his cultivation.

In an instant, Li Fan transformed from an ordinary mortal back into an existence standing at the pinnacle of the Darkest Star Sea.

It was as though he had experienced several hundred lifetimes of vicissitudes.

“The Transformation Between Truth and Falsehood…”

Li Fan did not stop. Instead, he once again recalled the entire process of [Truth] being activated, realized, and used to carry out the reincarnation simulation.

Suddenly, another surge of Li Fan’s cultivation from his prime descended.

It was as though another version of himself had suddenly merged into his body.

At this moment, the spiritual energy within Li Fan surged and boiled.

The phantom of the Wooden Sword was unsheathed, and in an instant, he arrived in the void of the Darkest Star Sea.

His entire strength erupted.

Countless terrifying transformations descended and evolved throughout the dark starry sky.

They continued without end for a long time.

The second layer of cultivation that had appeared upon Li Fan quietly faded away.

He returned to his normal state.

“I had already touched the limit of the Star Sea, yet by relying on the Transformation Between Truth and Falsehood, I can briefly unleash twice my original strength.”

“Moreover, this outburst has absolutely no side effects. I can even borrow all the consumption required for these operations from nothingness, achieving a form of perpetual motion in a certain sense.”

Li Fan looked at his own hands, feeling utterly incredulous.

Even though he was the creator of this divine ability, he was still shocked by its actual performance, which completely surpassed common sense.

“[Truth], [Truth]…”

As he silently repeated the name in his heart, Li Fan’s gaze gradually became incomparably profound.

“What exactly is [Truth]?”

“The Wordless Stele merely sensed it from the outside, yet it absorbed and manifested countless True Immortal seal script characters, so numerous that even it could not withstand them. As for its origin…”

Even if he allowed his imagination to run wild, Li Fan could not conceive of the source of [Truth].

All Li Fan knew was that possessing [Truth] was undoubtedly the greatest fortune of his life.

“In truth, I do not need to cultivate any new method or another new method at all. As long as I continuously deepen my understanding of [Truth], I will eventually be able to achieve true Dao annihilation and Dao creation with a flip of my hand.”

“What True Immortal? What Nameless True Immortal? Life, death, nature, and fate would all be decided by a single thought of mine.”

Li Fan’s heart surged with excitement as he became lost in this vision.

But fantasies ultimately had to return to reality.

After a long while, Li Fan, who possessed ample self-awareness, still shook his head slightly.

“However, this also contains a paradox. If I do not first cultivate, increase my own strength, and deepen my understanding, then how could I truly comprehend [Truth]?”

“When my strength was weak, even if I possessed [Truth] and spent thousands or tens of thousands of lifetimes in empty reincarnation, I still could not accomplish what I can do now and briefly realize the Transformation Between Truth and Falsehood. Even if it were merely the cultivation I once possessed.”

“And as my understanding of the True Immortal seal script and the Great Dao deepens, my understanding and deconstruction of [Truth] also gradually increases.”

[Truth] was far too profound, mysterious, and complex. Even the laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth could only barely serve as a tool for interpreting it.

“The height of [Truth] lies even above the highest heavens. To touch [Truth], one must first ascend to the Ninth Heaven.”

The somewhat restless thought that had arisen in Li Fan’s heart quietly subsided the moment it appeared.

“I should still cultivate step by step and keep my feet firmly on the ground.”

As Li Fan pondered, he once again recalled the reason why his previous self had decided to advance the unfolding of the Immortal Realm ahead of schedule.

“Looking back now, in the simulation where I died, the reason I suddenly died was probably due to the combined effects of Ink Death and the Wordless Stele.”

“It was very likely a weakened version of the Dao Annihilation Calamity. After Ink Death was sublimated, it returned to the realm of the Dao Annihilation Calamity. When the Immortal Domain unfolded, the Wordless Stele also manifested in an instant…”

When that scene surfaced in his mind, the skin on Li Fan’s face could not help twitching.

“I was still thinking about things far too simply.”

“If it could allow an Ancient True Immortal to entrust themselves to it and survive the Dao Annihilation Calamity, I should have known that the Immortal Domain could never be simple.”

Li Fan sighed softly inwardly.

But this did not cause Li Fan to abandon his plan to absorb Ink Death’s Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth.

On the contrary, the fact that Ink Death possessed the ability to pose an enormous threat to Immortal-grade existences made Li Fan even more determined to use it as material for Dao Integration.

After all, looking across the entire Darkest Star Sea, only Ink Death’s Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth was capable of moving Li Fan’s heart at present.

“Anchor and sublimate the Xuanhuang Realm…”

“The Wordless Stele is far too terrifying. For now, I cannot consider it.”

“But... one fragment of the Wordless Stele might perhaps be enough.”

The phantom of the Wooden Sword was already prepared, and Li Fan had made sufficient defensive preparations.

He took out the bone of the Nameless True Immortal that had accompanied him through [Truth].
