In the past, whenever he activated [Truth], a layer of illusory water mist would envelop the surroundings.

Everything in the world would become unreal.

When Li Fan's consciousness awakened once again, he would already have returned to the predetermined anchor point.

But now...

When Li Fan silently thought of [Truth], it was no longer a thick curtain of water that appeared to obscure the surroundings.

Instead, the entire world entered a state of stillness with a single thought from Li Fan. The only difference was that the world had changed from its former myriad colors into monotonous black and white.

Li Fan had never observed the world from such a perspective before. He stared blankly at the scene before him.

The ruined Myriad Things Return to Void Grand Formation, along with the remaining force of the wind, seemed to have frozen in midair.

Countless Immortal Spirits of Heaven and Earth surrounded him, each with a different Form.

Farther away, he could vaguely see a thin, withered figure descending into the world.

It was none other than the Immortal Ruins' Comprehending Hunger Immortal.

...

Everything before his eyes seemed to be no different from what had existed before [Truth] was activated. The only difference was that everything had fallen into a black and white state of stillness.

Li Fan carefully observed for a long time. Suddenly, his heart stirred.

His figure then began to drift, and he actually started moving within this frozen world!

It was an extremely novel experience.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and attempted to touch a nearby Immortal Spirit of Heaven and Earth.

Even though it had taken on a black and white form, Li Fan recognized it at a glance.

It was an old acquaintance, Crimson Flame.

Compared with when he had been merely a Spirit of Heaven and Earth, Crimson Flame's expression was now even more lifelike, almost indistinguishable from that of a real cultivator. Yet his eyes remained tightly shut, while the clothing manifested around his body was tattered and ragged.

Compared with the other Spirits of Heaven and Earth, he seemed somewhat out of place.

The instant Li Fan touched the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, Crimson Flame's body suddenly flashed.

It transformed into countless particles of light and scattered with the wind.

Li Fan also sensed that the range of this frozen world had simultaneously shrunk by a considerable amount.

For the moment, he paid no attention to what was happening in the distance. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and savored the scene that had just appeared in his mind.

Apart from a few fragments of the purest Crimson Flame Laws, there were also a handful of scattered memories.

They were the past experiences of a blind cultivator who had attained supremacy through the Dao of Fire.

The power displayed by this blind cultivator in those memories left Li Fan deeply shaken.

An endless, cold, desolate starfield stretched as far as the eye could see.

The blind cultivator sat within it, comprehending the Dao.

No one knew how many years passed.

Gradually, tiny points of fire gathered around the blind cultivator.

The cold starfield slowly became warm.

Then it became incomparably hot.

In the end, the entire starfield was incinerated by an invisible flame, becoming a void and hollow place where even coldness no longer existed.

At the end of the scene, that blind cultivator seemed to disappear from the world as well.

Li Fan had now comprehended the Dao through the Spirit of Heaven and Earth.

Although he was only at the Dao Integration realm, his actual strength was already comparable to a Half Immortal.

Thus, he could truly comprehend just how terrifying the strength displayed by the blind cultivator in those memories was.

'The phenomenon caused by merely comprehending the Dao is already this terrifying.'

'A True Immortal... It is definitely a True Immortal!'

Li Fan's heart trembled violently.

But soon, he realized something even more astonishing.

'Wait, what I just saw...'

'A True Immortal comprehending the Dao and disappearing into the world.'

'Was that the scene of him achieving the realm of the Nameless True Immortal?'

Li Fan was shaken to the core once again. His body even trembled slightly and uncontrollably.

His thoughts raced.

After several breaths, Li Fan vaguely realized why all of this had happened.

'The Spirit of Heaven and Earth were formed by the laws of the Xuanhuang Realm through the imprints left behind by cultivators who had once appeared throughout history.'

'After the Xuanhuang Realm ascended into an Immortal Domain, this characteristic was preserved. The Immortal Spirit of Heaven and Earth were likewise formed by the laws of the Xuanhuang Immortal Domain through deeper imprints left within heaven and earth.'

'They are one with the Dao, and can even merge with the Dao. Naturally, those who can resonate most deeply with various laws are the Nameless True Immortals who once proved the Dao through the Dao itself.'

'Once they enter the Nameless realm, they disappear from heaven and earth forever. The only thing that the Xuanhuang Immortal Domain can perceive is the final scene before they proved the Dao...'

Li Fan's expression became solemn.

After a Nameless True Immortal proves the Dao, they become the Great Dao itself.

If his speculation was correct, then what he had just absorbed was the Dao-proving insight once possessed by a Nameless True Immortal!

Even if he had only managed to capture such a tiny fragment from the countless particles of light, for Li Fan, who had only just taken half a step into the Immortal realm, it was absolutely an enormous benefit.

He carefully savored everything that had emerged within his mind.

After his brief excitement, Li Fan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

'Above the True Immortal realm, one proves the Dao and enters the Nameless realm. Each one's Dao path is different.'

'The Dao of Flame has already been occupied by someone. What use could it possibly have for me?'

'Unless...'

'That blind Nameless True Immortal is already dead.'

The more Li Fan thought about it, the more likely he felt this possibility was.

He quickly looked toward the surrounding Spirits of Heaven and Earth.

Those like Crimson Flame, who had evolved into forms resembling human cultivators, were extremely rare.

There were only three such cases.

'If I absorb them, I should likewise be able to sense the corresponding Dao path and witness the scenes of the Nameless True Immortals once attaining supremacy.'

Li Fan was just about to act when his expression suddenly changed.

During the brief moment he had been thinking, the effective range of the frozen black and white world had once again shrunk drastically.

Only a spherical region with a radius of nine point nine zhang remained around him.

There happened to be no Spirit of Heaven and Earth within it.

A wave of helplessness immediately surged through Li Fan's heart.

'I see. Apart from absorbing objects within the frozen world accelerating the collapse of its effective range, simply lingering here for too long will also...'

'The area retained after activating [Truth] does not exist indefinitely. From the looks of it, its duration is still very short.'

Li Fan now fully understood the new changes that had occurred to [Truth] after he had advanced to Dao Integration, or rather, after he had achieved the Half Immortal realm.

When he activated [Truth], everything in the world would no longer immediately become completely illusory.

Instead, a vast region centered around Li Fan would remain in a black and white state of stillness.

As for exactly how large this region was, Li Fan had not yet had the chance to verify it this time.

However, it should be extremely vast.

At the very least, the entire Xuanhuang Immortal Domain within his field of vision had been enveloped by it.

Li Fan also speculated that both the effective range and duration of the black and white stasis region might be positively correlated with his own strength.

He had only just entered the Immortal realm, so the effect he could maintain was naturally extremely limited.

'This black and white stasis region can temporarily be called the [Dao Concealment] Zone.'

'Within the Dao Concealment Zone, everything other than me seems to exist in an overlapping state of being both real and false.'

'Maintaining the Dao Concealment Zone also requires some kind of energy related to [Truth].'

'When I touch or sense the objects within the Dao Concealment Zone, it is equivalent to dragging them out of the state of being both real and false and into the same state of [Truth] as myself.'

'The energy maintaining the Dao Concealment Zone is therefore consumed in large quantities, causing its range to shrink drastically as well...'

Even though there was barely any room left for him to stand, Li Fan still did not immediately leave the Dao Concealment Zone.

He had already sensed that while inside the Dao Concealment Zone, comprehending the transformation between [Truth and Falsehood] was countless times easier than in the normal world.

Every additional moment he remained here brought him immeasurable benefits.

'When the true becomes false, even the false becomes true.'

Li Fan continued pondering and comprehending the profound meaning of [Truth].

At the same time, he looked around at the boundary of the Dao Concealment Zone, nine point nine zhang away.

As usual, it was completely shrouded in layers upon layers of water mist.

"Truth is falsehood. Falsehood is truth."

Li Fan furrowed his brows tightly, doing his utmost to comprehend the most ethereal and profound principle in this world.

Not long afterward, the range of the Dao Concealment Zone shrank once again.

Rolling water mist swallowed everything except Li Fan.

Li Fan's consciousness also slowly sank into darkness.

However, this time, Li Fan did not completely fall into a deep sleep and lose all awareness.

He remained half asleep and half awake. In his hazy state, he seemed to see an endless radiance erupting from within the darkness.

Amid the blazing white light, countless events, countless people, and countless objects emerged one after another.

When Li Fan's consciousness finally became completely clear...

Anchored to one year, the peak of the Jieli Mountain!

Li Fan's expression was somewhat dazed.

He extended both hands and carefully examined them.

Everything he had experienced from [Truth] until now gave Li Fan an extremely unreal feeling.

His thoughts were still immersed in comprehending the transformation between truth and falsehood.

A full day and night passed before Li Fan finally could no longer capture even the slightest ripple of inspiration. Only then did he temporarily stop his meditation.

Only now did Li Fan turn his attention toward [Truth]'s notification.

[This simulation has ended.]

[You may choose one of the following options to retain:

One item personally possessed during this simulation.

,

Your cultivation realm during this simulation.

,

The simulated memories of one person who had a close relationship with you during this simulation. These memories may be inherited by that person.

,

Abandon the above options and accelerate the charging progress.]

,

...

"I have already attained the Half-Immortal realm, yet there was still no prompt about an additional interference variable or an extra inheritance option."

"Looks like even my achievement of the Half-Immortal realm was completely within [Truth]'s expectations."

Li Fan spoke with some self-mockery.

"However, the newly born Xuanhuang Immortal Domain does not count as an additional interference variable. Yet the descent from beyond the High Wall does?"

Li Fan fell into brief contemplation.

Then he shook his head and returned to his senses.

"Thinking too much is useless. Now that I have attained the Half-Immortal realm, I am completely invincible throughout the Star Sea."

"This lifetime, I will turn my gaze beyond the High Wall."

"Whatever mysteries lie there, I will find out for myself!"

After experiencing countless twists and turns, he had finally attained Dao Integration and the Half-Immortal realm.

Although it was far from perfect, he had ultimately become an immortal who stood above all mortal beings.

Of [Truth]'s four options, he would naturally choose to inherit his cultivation.

However...

Li Fan slowly walked to the edge of the cliff on Jieli Mountain and raised his head to look at the frail Great Xuan Small World, and even the Xuanhuang Realm.

He could not help sighing.

"If I inherit my cultivation here, I am afraid the Great Xuan Small World would immediately be torn apart by the phenomenon accompanying ascension to immortality."

"Even the Xuanhuang Realm, formed from the fusion of countless worlds, might be shattered into pieces by this tremendous disturbance, with its fragments falling one after another into the Immortal Ruins."

"Forget it."

Under normal circumstances, regardless of what happened to a bound item during a reincarnation, whether it was damaged or sublimated, it would not affect the binding space of [Truth].

Once [Truth] was activated, they would still return to the state they had possessed when they were first bound.

But now...

With a thought from Li Fan, the Final Dissociation Disc was immediately taken out.

Within his sea of consciousness, countless stars seemed to rise, dazzlingly brilliant.

[Final Dissociation Disc, Immortal-Rank], had astonishingly returned to the present together with Li Fan!

"Just like that leg bone of the Nameless True Immortal before."

Li Fan looked toward the [...leg bone] within [Truth]'s binding space and pondered.

"It seems that only things at the level of True Immortals are qualified to be carried along by me through the transformation between truth and falsehood."
