The surrounding space was like a still ink painting.
There was no sound, and no light.
The elderly Lu Li stood still, his head full of white hair and his body hunched over, yet he exuded a calmness that Void Breaking.
The young man Lu Li opposite him maintained his surprised expression, waiting for an answer.
"You ask me how I figured it out."
"Actually, this Human Immortal Tribulation and immortals is indeed ferocious. Decades of living as a mortal have made me slowly believe that it is real."
"The mundane details of daily life, the births, aging, illnesses, and deaths of family members—everything feels incredibly real."
Even that sense of powerlessness was so flawless that it was impossible to find a single flaw.
The young man, Lu Li, looked at him and asked, puzzled.
"If that's the case, how did you manage to see through it?"
The elderly Lu Li sighed and gazed into the distant, empty void.
"The only flaw lies in that General Administration of Security from back then."
"I saw that news on the street back then, and on impulse, I took a taxi to verify it."
"Before I went there, I really didn't know if that address was actually the General Administration of Security."
"Because before I traveled through time, I had absolutely no access to information at that level."
"But while I was in the taxi, I asked myself a question."
"What if this really is an illusion targeting my State of Mind?"
"Assuming that's true, then it certainly wouldn't have such an obvious flaw as the General Administration of Security."
"The rules of this illusion will surely force me to completely give up and perfect its own logic."
Lu Li spoke slowly, but his words were incredibly clear.
The hypothetical question he posed in the taxi years ago was of great significance to him.
When he got out of the car, he really didn't see the General Administration of Security.
He did not despair when he saw only an ordinary private enterprise.
On the contrary, he became more suspicious.
He suspected that the Human Immortal Tribulation was an attempt to cover up the truth.
Upon hearing this, the young man Lu Li frowned, seemingly processing what he had just heard.
"Now that you have doubts, why continue living like an ordinary person for forty years?"
The elderly Lu Li smiled, his wrinkles crinkling together.
Because doubt is ultimately just doubt.
"I can't be sure if any of this is true or false."
"If I forcefully search for traces of cultivation, I might completely lose myself under the influence of illusions, and even Qi Deviation."
"To cope with this calamity, or rather, to cope with my own wild thoughts."
"I can only go with the flow, immerse myself in the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death of mortals, maintain a constant state of doubt, and keep myself..."
"I still can't confirm whether any of this is true or false."
After listening to everything, the young man Lu Li silent for a moment.
The last question was asked.
"So, you've only ever suspected it from the beginning, and never confirmed that it was all fake?"
The voice reached my ears.
The elderly Lu Li looked at himself in front of him.
Looking at my own humanity on the other side.
His eyes gradually brightened, as if he had returned to those days when Imprisoned Dragon and dominated the world.
Then, he opened his mouth softly and uttered the numbers.
"No, I've confirmed it now."
boom!
The moment the words left his mouth, the surrounding inky space suddenly froze.
Immediately afterwards, like glass struck by a giant hammer, the memories, scenes, and characters of the entire mortal world collapsed inch by inch in that instant.
It transformed into a shower of light and rain, then vanished completely.
In the Falling Firmament World, there lies a vast, secret realm.
A rich aura of immortal energy permeated the surroundings.
Surrounding a young immortal dressed in a green robe.
Above the sky, the Falling Firmament Will appeared instantly.
Sensing the sudden change below, Falling Firmament's tone was alarmed.
"Master... you've successfully overcome the tribulation!"
"Is he... about to break through to the Human Immortal?!"
With a flash of will, Lu Li below suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
"Whoosh!"
Two beams of light, seemingly tangible, burst forth from his silent eyes.
The Immortal Power within his body was like a volcano that had been suppressed for millions of years, finally erupting completely.
His aura suddenly surged.
Deep within Lu Li's Dantian, the originally liquid True Immortal power began to compress and transform at an incredible speed.
"Master, quickly cross the boundary and break through outside it!"
A voice rang in Lu Li's ears amidst Falling Firmament's anxious will.
To break through to the Human Immortal, one must be subject to the supervision of the Great Thousand Heavenly Dao.
In the Falling Firmament World, there is certainly no way to break through.
Lu Li's figure vanished instantly from the Falling Firmament World.
When it appeared, it was already aboard a ninth-tier magic boat.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The Principle heaven and earth in the Supreme Unity Infinite Realm.
At this moment, I sensed the birth of a new Human Immortal.
A phantom-like, colorful celestial cloud condensed above the magic boat.
This greatly alarmed Ye Chenfeng and the others.
All eyes turned to where Lu Li was in seclusion.
"This is... it's Senior Brother Lu!"
" Senior Brother Lu is breaking through to the Human Immortal!"
When did he break through the Human Immortal Tribulation?
"How could it be so fast!"
Ye Chenfeng's exclamation shook the Dharma Boat.
Bone Mountain and the others' eyes widened in unison.
Human Immortal? It's only been a few years, and Lu Li is about to break through to Human Immortal.
And without even realizing it, he had already passed the Human Immortal Tribulation.
Such speed is simply astonishing.
Everyone was stunned.
Lu Li began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
Originally belonging to the body of True Immortal, the immortal body gradually transformed into crystal-clear immortal bones under the tempering of the Immortal Dao Principle.
Each bone is naturally imprinted with intricate Daoist patterns.
Blood surged through the veins, producing a roaring sound like a river bursting its banks.
The color of the blood also changed from bright red to celestial blood with a faint golden glow.
This is the body of Human Immortal.
Transcending the mundane, possessing endless lifespan and an immortal body.
A more transformed immortal soul.
Lu Li's immortal soul trembled violently within his Sea of Consciousness.
Having experienced two lifetimes of tribulation and one Tribulation Transcendence, his will and immortal soul have become incredibly resilient.
The celestial being sat cross-legged in the Sea of Consciousness.
He opened his mouth and inhaled deeply, swallowing all the descending colorful celestial clouds into his belly.
A muffled thud came from Lu Li's body.
A barrier belonging to Human Immortal was instantly shattered by this immense power.
His aura surged once again, directly surpassing the limits of True Immortal and entering a completely new level.
" First-Transcendence Human Immortal, accomplished!"
Upon successfully breaking through, Lu Li's eyes gleamed with a unique light.
The moment he successfully entered the first stage of truth, the Dao Seed in his Dantian completely cracked.
A Dao Root, formed from the power of the Great Dao, was born.
The Dao Root resides in the Dantian; this is Lu Li's root of Human Immortal.
Feeling the changes in his Dantian, Lu Li a deep breath, his expression filled with anticipation.
"Without roots, there is no immortal; with roots, Human Immortal."
"Now that I have reached the First-Transcendence Human Immortal, Dao Root has manifested, my destiny can be determined!"
Above the King Seed lies... the Territory-Enfeoffing Root!
