My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 2304 - 1725: Suo-Net Split Metamorphosis

Li Fan displayed a nuanced expression, yet he refrained from offering any outright denial.

"My skills pale in comparison to those of Daoist Taiwei. With the alterations to the Net's regulations, I fear our endurance might prove short-lived."

Sea Return Saint remarked, "Now that [Suo] stands revealed, it won't take much time before it surely escapes to distant realms. Our immediate task is to prolong the confrontation for as long as feasible. We must secure the Path of Mountain Sea Living Beings prior to its escape."

Zhouhui Daoist spoke assuredly, "Proceed without hesitation. Should failure occur, we'll swiftly pursue and overtake." Guardian Hill added with a grin.

Li Fan offered a cupped-hand salute before dispatching a mental impulse, tracing the detected Mountain and Sea Veins.

Once inside, he grasped the reason why entities like Theft Machine endured severe harm during passage. The Mountain and Sea Veins, tied to the very essence of the Mountain and Sea's survival, represent the utmost concealed mystery. They naturally reject any foreign intruders.

To preserve a portion of his vigor, he relied solely on the known connection to the [Mountain Sea Creatures] as an anchoring line.

Unlike the Taiwei Saint Emperor, who drew upon the collective backing of the Holy Dynasty's populace to traverse with almost complete potency,

Li Fan linked his consciousness with Guardian Hill and Morality through synchronized intent.

This allowed his traversal to far surpass the efforts of Theft Machine and similar figures.

Harnessing strength nearing that of a Nameless True Immortal, he managed to manifest within Suo’s Net.

Similar to the Taiwei Saint Emperor, Li Fan transmitted the vistas he encountered into the Xuanji Ring, enabling the All Saints to witness them.

"Daoist Zhouhui possesses remarkable insight, as expected. The initial progress appears favorable; he ought to impede Suo for some time," Saint Taiyi affirmed with a subtle nod.

In concealed exchange, Li Fan and his two companions concluded their discussion: "Should we step forward next, we must restrain ourselves; matching this level of success could spark doubts."

The instant Li Fan materialized at the juncture when Suo constructed the Taichu Immortal Realm, a thick aura of murderous intent shrouded the entire cosmos.

Back in his Foundation Establishment days, he had devised the [Invisible Malice] technique via fabricated Destiny. Thus, he recognized this worldly malice all too well.

He only furrowed his brow faintly, long since grown inured to such hostility.

Drawing from the Taiwei Saint Emperor's earlier experiences, Li Fan dispersed his energy first, reducing his cultivation to mortal levels.

Taiwei, however, had fused his scattered cultivation with boundless imperial wisdom to summon an Immortal Legion.

Li Fan, by contrast...

Chose to deliberately infuse his cultivation into the emerging monsters surrounding him, provoking their assault!

From the outset of his entry, he opted to bolster the foes.

"Eh? What exactly is Daoist Zhouhui up to?"

"Handing over his cultivation to adversaries on purpose. Reduced to a mere mortal, how will he endure the ensuing onslaught?"

These unusual actions promptly captured the All Saints' notice.

The ensuing chaos among the monster swarm revealed the logic behind Li Fan's strategy.

The beasts that had fixated on Li Fan with lethal determination...

Developed rifts among themselves due to the cultivation he bestowed.

Recipients of Li Fan’s endowment swiftly became the monsters' chief focus for attack, supplanting him.

Despite Suo’s Net's advancements, when facing mortal peril, they refused to remain passive.

As a result, infighting erupted among them.

Following the clash with the Taiwei Saint Emperor, Suo’s Net had adjusted its mechanics. The initial monster assault's might was calibrated to Li Fan’s cultivation stage upon entry.

Thus, even with Li Fan's intentional weakening, the surrounding spawned monsters preserved their matching intensity.

It was only after Li Fan distributed this cultivation—without enhancing his own form—that the subsequent monster wave's power began to wane.

Yet this approach birthed a pressing complication.

Within the opening assault of monsters, those who took Li Fan’s offering and rebelled against Suo’s Net continued to wield Nameless True Immortal might.

Confronting these fresh "comrades," they paused briefly before resuming their savage strikes.

Overwhelmed by superior force, they fell swiftly to the blade.

The expanse above Suo’s Net appeared to freeze once more in stasis.

As though a fresh rule had been inscribed right then.

In this uncommon hush born from regulatory shifts,

Li Fan proactively neared the monsters ensnared between him and Suo’s Net.

By receiving Li Fan’s alien endowment, albeit under duress, they were fated to face rejection from Suo’s Net.

They regarded Li Fan, their unexpected "patron," warily as he drew close.

Still, maybe swayed by the gift's effect, they held back from impulsive moves.

"Our fates are now bound together; we shall confront this ordeal as allies."

"Born of this realm, yet graced by my essence, you gain the chance to shatter your bonds. No longer do you resemble those former savage fiends..."

Undeterred by these formerly oblivious beasts, Li Fan methodically detailed the full origins and outcomes to them.

As if imparting profound Dao teachings, the monsters' countenances shifted repeatedly in mere moments.

Certain ones rejected the notion, others pondered deeply.

A few embraced it utterly, viewing Li Fan as a sage guide.

"Pray tell, esteemed teacher, what course shall we pursue henceforth?"

Li Fan gazed skyward with a hearty laugh, gesturing boldly: "Unite with me to subvert this Heaven!"

Ere the monsters could fully grasp Li Fan’s declaration, the third monster wave materialized.

Under the renewed rules, these defiant entities counted as extensions of Li Fan’s force.

Consequently, the fresh monsters' potency reverted to Nameless True Immortal caliber.

"Observe how our destinies intertwine; we thrive or perish in unison."

"Heeding my directives offers your sole chance at endurance."

"My vanishing would spell your inevitable eradication."

The awakened ones weren't slow-witted; observing Suo’s Net's dynamics, they swiftly discerned Li Fan's veracity.

Despite the strange weight pressing on their spirits, alliance against the shared foe became their provisional recourse.

They unleashed their bottled fury upon the adversaries.

Nevertheless, Suo’s Net spawned foes that factored in elevated spirits and resolve.

The conflict raged on with unyielding ferocity.

Over half the recent converts to enlightenment perished outright.

Li Fan's sole edge lay in Suo’s Net prioritizing the extermination of these deserters over his own demise.

Hence, while the enlightened endured, Li Fan stayed out of direct peril.

Through the grueling carnage, he scarcely flexed a sinew.

He simply glanced upward now and then, as if scrutinizing unseen elements.

Li Fan narrowed his gaze, a chill smirk forming inwardly: "Within this brief interval, alterations have struck repeatedly."

"Every transformation adheres to discernible rhythms. Not even the ancient origins of Mountain and Sea evade this law."

Intently, Li Fan pondered these deductions within.

The vista of the Taichu Immortal Realm unfolded like a veil, abruptly drawing back.

Exposing the dense, interlocking Great Net at its heart.

"This Net, crafted by your hand, little do you realize it may yet serve my designs."

Gradually, Li Fan extended two fingers toward the heavens.
