Chapter 1829: Chapter 1470: The Orthodoxy of Hai Zhen

Without bothering to think of anything else, the Hungry Immortal immediately immersed herself in the guidance of the other party.

According to her years of seclusion, the inspiration for Enlightenment often vanishes as quickly as a spark. If not understood swiftly, it will soon disappear into the vast thoughts.

Not expecting the other party to kindly guide her a second time, the Hungry Immortal seized the moment, focusing intently on Enlightenment.

It must be said that the Hungry Immortal’s countless years of meditative sitting have indeed granted her extraordinary insight into the [Hunger] Path.

Soon after assuming the meditation posture again, a wispy, profound aura began to emanate from her body.

Exactly the same as the Nameless trace beneath her!

“It seems pushing her to attain the Nameless is easier than I thought,” Li Fan mused to himself.

Although Li Fan had long observed the ‘Hunger’ character on the Immortal Ruins earth, with his qualifications, despite gaining insights through many lifetimes of Reincarnation, it was impossible to surpass the current Hungry Immortal’s understanding of the [Hunger] Path.

The reason why he could guide the Hungry Immortal to sudden Enlightenment with a few words was because Li Buren, leveraging the immense force of the Guardian Hill, synchronously explained the Nameless Dao Trace beneath the Hungry Immortal that he observed on site.

With an overview from above, directly pointing at the core, it was naturally much superior to the Hungry Immortal’s isolated efforts.

Li Buren’s guidance was akin to giving her a powerful push from behind.

For the Hungry Immortal who was already just a step away from success, she actually needed no one’s aid to attain True Immortal certification; it was only a matter of time.

Perhaps the Hungry Immortal would slowly realize this later, but now, caught in the moment, she had yet to fully grasp this truth and was wholeheartedly immersed in Enlightenment.

Li Buren stepped aside, observing secretly.

The body that had become full after infusing now returned to its withered state after the Hungry Immortal’s Enlightenment.

It was just like a skeletal frame. Clearly, she had entered the state of comprehending the [Hunger] Path.

Within the Path of Hunger, there was the instinctual drive to devour everything around.

The enormous suction force that had temporarily disappeared due to Li Buren’s appearance suddenly reappeared more fiercely on the Hungry Immortal than before!

In the entire Starry Sky, only the Immortal Ruins earth and Li Buren standing on it remained unmoved.

Everything else uncontrollably began sliding towards the Immortal Ruins, which had become a central vortex.

In the Xuanhuang World, the life force that had just revived was suddenly in jeopardy like a candle in the wind, about to extinguish due to the vast suction power.

Fortunately, Li Fan projected the Dao Network, protecting the entire world.

And he drew the Xuanhuang World towards the Star Sea boundaries again, trying to move away from the Immortal Ruins.

“Compared to before, this sudden burst of suction is much stronger.”

“So has the Hungry Immortal been intentionally restraining it all along…”

Li Fan gazed towards the direction of the Immortal Ruins, slightly frowning.

As if confirming his speculation.

“Clink clank…” The crisp sound of metal unexpectedly echoed in the quiet Starry Sky.

It was those Golden Chains binding the Hungry Immortal, tightening even more.

While restraining the Hungry Immortal, it seemed to also suppress her extreme desire to devour everything in the world.

“Only in the utmost state of hunger can one truly comprehend the Hunger Path.”

“An ascetic method of self-torturing Cultivation…”

The Golden Chains tightened, even digging into the emaciated flesh, grinding against the bones with a creepy, creaking sound.

Yet from beginning to end, the Hungry Immortal did not tremble at all.

She simply silently endured the pain brought on by her own desire.

The Path of Hunger was like a ferocious Monstruous Beast trapped in a cage. Although roaring to break free, it remained firmly bound within this body.

This method of control, striving yet unable to attain, surprisingly made the Hungry Immortal’s Enlightenment efficiency gradually climb!

Li Buren observed all the changes happening to the Hungry Immortal’s body, trying to empathize and slowly savored some meaning.

“The deeper the torment from the Path, the more one is able to comprehend its principles.”

“This method of Enlightenment…”

“Is somewhat similar to the Reverse Cultivation Dao Heart of the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra. Could it be a method passed down from the Immortal World lineage?”

At the onset of his contemplation, Li Buren noticed the difference in the flow of time caused by the reappearing Suction Force of the Ruins of Immortality.

Before he could react, three months had already elapsed in the Xuanhuang World.

Beyond the High Wall, thirty years had flashed by in an instant!

And this speed difference continued to grow!

Luckily, nothing occurred during these thirty years that required the power of the Phantom of the Guarded Hill to resolve. Qian Ruochang and Wu Xian of the Sea of the Northern Stars visited several times, reporting the progress of their cooperation.

Li Fan merely played dead, responding with a simple “Understood” and said no more.

Qian Ruochang and Wu Xian dared not disturb him further and tactfully withdrew.

…

Just moments ago, stranded thirty years ago, they had now suddenly arrived thirty years later.

Countless scenes experienced by his true body slowly flashed sequentially in his Spirit Consciousness like a lag.

The enormous disparity in the perception of time made even Li Buren somewhat uneasy, causing a faint sensation of dizziness. The Dao Network body showed a slight distortion only he could detect, like looking through a bubble, distorted and inaccurate.

Li Buren first tried to curb the change in the flow of time caused by the immense suction.

But this wasn’t an attribute of the [Hunger] Path.

Instead, it was a phenomenon inherent to the Mortal World.

Even with the power of Lord Guardian Hill’s phantom, it couldn’t be completely eliminated. It could only reduce the impact of the Suction Force of the Ruins of Immortality on the outside world as much as possible.
