My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1262 - 1214

The Earth Pulse Fire, which had already reached its theoretical limit, unexpectedly flared up with greater intensity.

The fierce blaze roared, jetting forth.

Cracks emerged on the ocean floor, countless bubbles boiling ceaselessly.

What alarmed the Artisan was not this strange phenomenon.

But rather another peculiar creature that silently came into being amidst the Terrestrial Flame before him.

Having been in the Xuanhuang World for many years, he was no longer unfamiliar with this existence.

It had a name known to all: the Essence of Heaven and Earth!

As an incarnate of the Xuan Huang Heavenly Earth Principle, any Cultivator who absorbed it could ascend in one step and promote to Unity-Path.

The Essence of Heaven and Earth was an incredibly precious resource for Cultivation, and its appearance was without any discernible pattern.

But now, before his eyes, the Essence formed at the beckoning of this faceless, mysterious individual!

"This…"

Within the Artisan’s incomprehensible and profoundly shocked perception, something even more mystical occurred.

The newly born Essence of Heaven and Earth did not make any excessive moves.

Instead, it quietly catalyzed the Terrestrial Flame and, as it turned from orange to pitch black, it voluntarily entered the Terrestrial Flame Genesis Array!

It was a self-sacrifice, trading itself for the potential advancement of the puppet lying dormant within the Array!

The Black Fire pulsated silently, fusing into the vast Puppet Body beneath the ground as the Terrestrial Flame Genesis Array operated continuously.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sounds of collapsing and explosions came from the depths.

These were signs of the Puppet Body’s impurities being smelted away.

"The birth of this Essence of Heaven and Earth, instead of launching an attack on Cultivators, it helped the underwater puppet at that person’s command?"

"How is that possible?"

It is well known, the contradictions between the Xuanhuang Heaven Path and the Xuanhuang Cultivators are irreconcilable.

Upon seeing the Essence of Heaven and Earth, Cultivators can’t help but desire to devour it.

And for the Essences that dare appear before them, they are utterly merciless, killing the Cultivators swiftly afterwards.

But what was happening before him now completely shattered the Artisan’s understanding.

"If even the Essence of Heaven and Earth listens to him so obediently… could it be that this person before me is the Incarnation of Xuan Huang Heavenly Dao?" the Artisan mused, though the idea seemed absurd.

"The Essence of Heaven and Earth is born from Heavenly Duty. This black fire before us is known as Ink Flame. Its duty is to assist in the birth of the Unity-Path Puppet…" Li Ping explained in a calm tone.

His thoughts, however, remained unspoken: "Distorting Heaven and Earth Reason can forge the Will of Heavenly Dao and conjure the Essence of Heaven and Earth out of thin air. Yet that’s as far as it can go. Normally, to make the Essence, which stands opposed to Cultivators, sacrifice itself to further a Cultivator’s ascension…"

"This act completely defies the commands of the Will of Heavenly Dao and under normal circumstances, it should be impossible to achieve."

"However…"

"I am the Incarnation of Xuan Huang Heavenly Dao, all my actions are for the sake of Xuan Huang Heavenly Earth!"

"Heaven and Earth will naturally assist me!"

Li Ping sensed the subtle changes in the Will of Heaven and Earth on himself, especially since the You Clan People had begun to worship the Ocean of Darkness again under his command.

It was because of the combination of various factors that the Essence of Heaven and Earth that appeared this time, the powerful Ink Flame, was exceptional.

The unsettling Black Fire even made Li Ping feel a hint of danger.

Under the smelting of the Ink Flame, the underwater Puppet made progress at an unimaginable speed.

"It won’t be long before this Puppet is born."

"Although its realm is merely Unity-Path, in a real battle, I’m afraid I am far from its match. And this is merely the result of that mysterious person’s casual gesture…" the Artisan observed Li Ping surreptitiously again.

While feeling inwardly alarmed, he couldn’t help but look forward even more to the two aids the other man had mentioned.

"It seems he wasn’t boasting…"

Li Ping and the Artisan waited for the birth of the Puppet.

As the Ink Flame and the Puppet continued to fuse, the commotion in the surrounding seas grew more and more violent.

But it was concealed by Li Ping using an Array Technique.

Otherwise, such an anomaly would have surely attracted a throng of cultivators to spectate by now.

Another half month later.

Like a lamp burning out its oil, the Earth Pulse Fire at the bottom of the sea had completely extinguished.

The magma solidified into black crystals.

Only the seabed, still high in temperature, was shrouded in dense fog.

The breath of the Essence of Heaven and Earth, known as Ink Flame, had completely vanished. In its place, a new and powerful presence emerged from the seabed.

The sense of danger in the craftsman’s heart made him unconsciously draw a little closer to Li Ping’s location.

Suddenly, that presence disappeared from the craftsman’s perception.

The craftsman’s face altered dramatically, as a layer of silver-white armor appeared, enveloping him in its protection.

A pitch-black figure quietly appeared by their side.

The target, however, was not the craftsman but Li Ping, the Great Enthroned Faceless Saint Emperor!

The newly awakened Tianyang was too vigilant. Sensing the two strong presences beside him, he launched an attack without a second word.

As danger struck, Li Ping did not dodge in the face of Tianyang’s attack.

He didn’t even summon the power of the Essence of Source Power to defend himself.

A mere transmission of voice woke up the somewhat confused Tianyang and stopped his rash actions.

"Tianyang, do you wish to avenge your master and senior brother?"

Tianyang’s body trembled violently, revealing his form, staring intently at Li Ping.

He still looked the same as before he fell asleep, seemingly just a child of little more than ten years old.

Only his eyes occasionally betrayed a depth of world-weariness completely at odds with his youthful appearance.

As he calmed down slightly, memories of Li Ping helping him absorb the Essence of Heaven and Earth during his slumber surfaced in his spirit consciousness.

Knowing that his current strength was all thanks to the other’s assistance, the hostility in Tianyang’s heart slowly vanished.

Still, he kept his gaze fixed on Li Ping, searching for an answer to the question he had just asked.

"The prime culprit behind the great war with the Xuanhuang World that caused countless sect cultivators to die gruesomely is still out there…"

"I intend to…"

Li Ping slowly transmitted his reply.

Tianyang listened quietly to the other’s plan, his presence fluctuating.

Then, it settled down, and he flew to Li Ping’s side.

"We should not linger here; let’s go back for now," Li Ping said.

He then looked at the craftsman: "Would you care to join us, fellow Daoist?"

Since Tianyang’s appearance, the craftsman’s gaze had never strayed from him.

"As if I dare not to join…" the craftsman murmured internally, nodding in agreement.

It was only after the three of them had traversed the void to arrive within the Da Qi Miniature World that the craftsman’s gaze reluctantly shifted from Tianyang.

Leading them was the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven.

Altogether nine Cave Heavens surrounded the Da Qi Miniature World.

They provided a tethered force that enabled it to drift through the void.

And this mysterious Miniature World had a concentration of Spiritual Energy that was significantly higher than that of the Xuanhuang Mainland.

Moreover, it appeared to be concealed by an invisible force, such that even the craftsman was unable to see the details within with his divine sense.

...

Just as the craftsman was once again struck with astonishment.

A presence transformed into a rainbow, causing the craftsman’s heart to skip a beat.

The silent Tianyang also became vigilant.

An Immortal Cultivator?

How could that be possible?
