My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1552 - 1337
Chapter 1552 -1337
“The usage of the Myriad Phenomena Yin Yang Chart is rather simple. It’s like a mirror that can reveal the essence of objects onto a blank canvas. Of course, it might not be so straightforward. Perhaps further comprehension is needed…”
“However, no matter how you look at it, it’s certainly much easier than studying this gray chess piece directly,” Zhong Daogong said as he spoke, his lips moving, slowly spreading out the blank canvas.
Like a long dragon, floating above everyone’s heads.
“Go!”
The gray chess piece slowly flew towards the Myriad Phenomena Yin Yang Chart. At the moment it approached, it vanished from everyone’s sight. Meanwhile, on the blank canvas, as if touched by droplets of various paints, strange and bizarre images began to emerge.
It was like a storm concocted of colors, with different hues intertwining, colliding, separating, and combining.
“This Myriad Phenomena Yin Yang Chart, which can analyze treasures from the Immortal World, could it also originate from there?” Li Fan mused aloud as he watched the constant transformations on the canvas.
“Not at all, not at all. This Myriad Manifestation Diagram is indeed an authentic object from the Lower Realm.” Jian Dusheng smiled and answered Li Fan’s query.
“This chart was once acquired by a destitute cultivator from the Mystic Commerce Immortal Vessel.”
“This cultivator’s ancestor was once a direct disciple of the renowned Star Path Sect within the Star Sea. In the ancient times, the Star Path Sect’s influence spanned several neighboring Immortal Cultivation Worlds. The sect’s mystique was said to control the Path of Star Sea, even surpassing the Taija Divine Art taught to us by our fellow daoist.”
Li Fan raised his eyebrows: “How did such a glorious sect come to decline?”
“That is an eternal mystery. Even at the time, there were many theories, but no definitive answer. Some say they incurred the wrath of True Immortals from the Upper World, attracting celestial punishment. Others say, the Star Path Sect ambitiously tried to refine and control the Dao of Star Sea, and ultimately got devoured by it…”
“In any case, for reasons unknown, the high-ranking and core members of the Star Sea Sect seemingly vanished overnight. The lower-tier disciples, unclear of the situation, after waiting for a short time and realizing that there was apparently no chance of redemption, scattered like birds and beasts. Before leaving, they did not forget to plunder the sect’s treasures.”
“In less than a month, this great sect known throughout the Star Sea disintegrated just like that,” Jian Dusheng said with a hint of melancholy.
“This Myriad Phenomena Yin Yang Chart was one of the treasures of the Star Path Sect back then. It is said in the Star Path Sect’s Communion Star Hall, where cultivators connected with and drew insight from the Dao of Star Sea, these charts hung in numbers.”
“Every time the Dao of Star Sea made contact with the cultivators, it was like an invisible ink brush, leaving traces on the canvas. Over time, the canvas imprinted the essence of the Dao of Star Sea into it.”
…
Hearing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but interject: “Even if it’s an engraving of the Dao of Star Sea, how could it reveal objects from the Upper World?”
While he seemed to ask without knowing, Li Fan actually had an answer in mind.
Zhong Daogong laughed, “Star Sea, the Lower Realm is the foundation of all. ”
“The Tao’s projection ultimately manifests there; even the lofty Immortal World is not a castle in the air. From the lower to the upper, although one cannot perceive its true form, one can still glimpse the shadows of the Tao.”
Upon hearing these words, Li Fan appeared to be touching this theory for the first time, visibly shaken to his core, he fell into deep thought.
The transformations of the Myriad Phenomena Yin Yang Chart continued.
As if an invisible True Immortal was wielding a brush and ink, painting dragons and snakes with swift strokes.
Eventually, the color storm settled into a calm picture.
Li Fan’s pupils shrank as he looked at the chart above his head.
It was not a painting of meticulous realism but rather an abstract one, roughly sketching out contours.

A colossal figure occupied nearly half of the painting, towering above.
Its face could not be seen, with long arms extended.
Below the figure seemed to be a chessboard.
Arranged on the board were not gray chess pieces.
But different worlds of Immortal Cultivation.
What seemed to be just clusters of mingled colors, upon closer scrutiny, conjured up countless images of different living beings in the Spirit Consciousness.
They were born, aged, fell ill, died, cultivated, fought in those worlds.
The stories of these living beings, along with the worlds of Immortal Cultivation themselves, played out to create a chess piece on the board.
Boom…
After being displayed for several breaths, the Myriad Phenomena Yin Yang Chart suddenly fluttered as if hit by a Big Wind, not only causing the canvas itself to swing violently.
But even the paint on the canvas was swept away by the storm.
The image gradually disintegrated.
The gray chess piece also slowly receded from the picture.
“The structure of the Myriad Manifestation Diagram has reached its limit,” Zhong Daogong said gravely, as together with the Elders, he carefully put away the Myriad Phenomena Yin Yang Chart.
Afterwards, they looked at the gray chess piece silently Floating in mid-air, falling into a strange silence.
“If I’m not mistaken, this gray chess piece seems to represent a world of Immortal Cultivation where life has perished, and all is in decay? That tall figure should be a True Immortal from the Upper World?” Li Fan was the first to speak up.
No one responded.
After a while, Elder Jian Dusheng shook his head and expressed his own opinion: “Though the Myriad Manifestation Diagram’s analysis directly touches upon the essence of matters, it’s not so simplistic.”
“Inside the Medicine King Cauldron, it’s almost like a world unto itself. It can spontaneously generate Spiritual Energy, Nourish medicinal herbs and spiritual plants…”
“How could that be possible for a world devoid of vitality?”
Zhong Daogong agreed saying: “Indeed. I believe, this representation, or rather the actual world of the chess piece, is not indicative of death. It suggests a piece that has lost its use on the chessboard, one that has completed its mission and become a spent piece.”
