My Simulated Road to Immortality
Chapter 860 - 818 The Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Tree Realm

```

Li Fan subconsciously moved a little further away.

It was only after ensuring through the Heart of the Spirit Tree that he still had control over the life and death of the Spirit Tree that he slightly relaxed.

The Tree Spirit’s pressure continued to climb.

Nascent Soul, God Transformation…

It wasn’t until it was comparable to Unity-Path that it finally slowed down.

"A giant tree spirit, it essentially represents the presence of the Heavenly Dao within the Spirit Tree Realm."

"If the Heavenly Dao truly had spirit, Cave Heavens would be on par with the Nascent Soul Realm. The Small World would vary between God Transformation and Unity-Path, depending on its own scale."

"Given the foundation of the Spirit Tree Realm, it would be nearly impossible for a Tree Spirit to be born with Unity-Path strength. However, with Shang Tianci continually transporting Xuan Huang wonders into it, it somewhat achieved a certain promotion."

"Just like how Mr. Bai effortlessly created a miniature Xuanhuang World before. But Shang Tianci accomplished it through pure replication."

As Li Fan pondered, the green points of light gathering from all directions had already ceased accumulating.

A body nearly indistinguishable from that of a human being appeared before him.

Shapely and curved, much like the Tree-Person Clan Chief, with distinctly feminine external characteristics.

Li Fan glanced at her, and with a flicker of thought, he dressed her in clothing through the Heart of the Spirit Tree.

The Tree Spirit didn’t resist.

Instead, she looked curiously at the clothes that had suddenly appeared on her body.

Her gaze, although seeming innocent, was certainly not ignorant.

A natural spirit that inherited all the memories of the Spirit Tree, she lacked only the experience of interacting with others that most cultivators had.

"Although her strength has already surpassed mine, because I refined the Heart of the Spirit Tree early on, she still remains under my control," Li Fan thought to himself.

As he thought so, the Tree Spirit knelt down before him with just a thought from him.

A Unity-Path kneeling before a Gold Core was extremely humiliating anywhere.

Yet, the Tree Spirit showed no sign of anger.

"Master," she naturally addressed Li Fan in such a manner.

Natural creations of Heaven and Earth are innately innocent. They do not resort to deceitful schemes like humans do.

Especially when newly born, they do not conceal their emotions.

After Li Fan discerned for a moment and confirmed that the Tree Spirit’s submission was genuine, he silently nodded.

"Since you have taken on a human form, you should have a name of your own."

"From now on, you shall be called [Lin Ling]."

As he spoke, Li Fan extended a finger into the air and touched it to Lin Ling’s brow.

A moment later, a red mark emerged between her brows.

"Thank you, Master." Lin Ling, delighted to have her own name, thanked Li Fan profusely, continuously repeating it.

"She does not yet understand the concept of strength or rank, so even calling someone as weak as me ’master’ does not bother or incite rebellion in her," Li Fan reflected.

"As she grows and experiences more of the world, that might change."

"However, breaking free from the constraints of the Heart of the Spirit Tree is no easy task."

Li Fan pondered the faint connection between himself and Lin Ling, contemplating.

In the following period, Lin Ling demonstrated her formidable capabilities as an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao within the Spirit Tree Realm to Li Fan.

She could effortlessly control all the powers of the Small World, always in the most efficient way.

With her assistance, Shang Tianci’s "transportation" process became several times easier.

And Lin Ling did not find it a burden; on the contrary, she joyfully enjoyed the task.

Her innocent and carefree demeanor deeply captivated the young Shang Tianci.

Being born from the Heavenly Dao, it goes without saying that Lin Ling’s beauty was extraordinary.

A perfect face, without a single flaw. Each smile and frown radiated a unique charm.

Shang Tianci was utterly transfixed, unable to take his eyes off her.

"Pre... Predecessor," after Lin Ling finished her work and Li Fan had told her to go play elsewhere, a stuttering and blushing Shang Tianci found Li Fan.

```

"Hehe, keep up the good work." Li Fan patted Shang Tianci’s shoulder with vigor, revealing a grin full of deep meaning.

Without making any promises, he managed to invigorate Shang Tianci as though he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Senior, the various Xuan Huang sceneries I have replicated in my Heavenly Scenery Gourd are almost complete. So, I’d like to go back to the Xuanhuang World and record some others," he volunteered eagerly.

"That’s perfect. You can try to convince some more people from Shanhe Xuan to come over," he volunteered enthusiastically.

Seeing him so proactive, Li Fan had no reason to refuse.

But just to be on the safe side, he still gave him a jade pendant as a medium to deploy the [Invisible Malice].

Only then did he let him leave.

Estimating the time, he had left the Five Elders Organization hanging for quite a while.

Li Fan also left the Spirit Tree Realm at a leisurely pace.

What he didn’t expect was that Lin Ling insisted on going out with him.

"You can leave this place?" Li Fan couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Master, rest assured, there’s no problem," Lin Ling nodded vigorously.

"However, it might not be as free as being at home when you’re outside," she added.

A free Unity-Path thug, Li Fan naturally agreed immediately.

When the two of them reached the Xuanhuang World, Li Fan observed her changes right away.

"In the end, she is indeed affected to some extent, her actual combat strength is somewhat inferior to a real Unity-Path.

"But still considerably stronger than an ordinary God Transformation," he nodded to himself.

Accompanied by Lin Ling, they escaped towards Jiushan Province.

They hadn’t flown far when Lin Ling suddenly asked, "Master, why don’t we travel underground? It’s so slow flying in the sky."

Li Fan was momentarily stunned.

"Underground? What do you mean?"

Lin Ling’s eyes widened as she looked at Li Fan.

She opened her mouth to explain, but struggled to find appropriate adjectives for a while.

After a moment, she slapped her forehead and transmitted a series of images into Li Fan’s spirit consciousness.

Almost instantly, Li Fan understood what Lin Ling meant.

"Power of Ley Lines?"

"You can travel through the Power of Ley Lines?" he asked in disbelief.

"Master, you can’t?" Lin Ling seemed surprised.

Seeing Li Fan fall silent, Lin Ling pondered for a moment before comforting him, "It’s alright, Master."

"I think I can take you with me," she said.

After sensing for a while, it seemed Lin Ling wasn’t lying.

Li Fan hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding, "Let’s give it a try."

"Okay, Master. Hold on to me tightly!" Seeing Li Fan agree, Lin Ling was very excited.

A green light shield appeared around her, grabbing Li Fan.

Then she suddenly teleported from the sky into the depths of the earth.

Li Fan’s vision darkened at first.

Then it felt as though he had plunged into a raging river, with all around him a torrent of earthy yellow energy.

The tremendous pressure even made Li Fan feel somewhat suffocated.

But Lin Ling seemed as comfortable as a fish in the water, being able not only to move freely.

She even seemed to be able to draw strength to bolster herself from the endless Power of Ley Lines.

They moved along the flow of the ley lines with whoops and shouts.

In less than the time it took to make a pot of tea, the two had already arrived in Jiushan Province.
