624: Chapter 624 Has he truly achieved the Eight Lives Immortality?

Meanwhile, in the outside world...

At the Cosmic Cloud Company Headquarters...

Within the estate on the Qingyun Project Star where Golden Flash Bear resided...

"It seems many senior Immortal Level experts have already headed to the Cosmic Abyss."

"Mhm, Instructor Tai Fang also went there a while ago."

"Damn it, I really want to go with them! Too bad I'm not an Immortal!"

...

At this moment, Peng Song and the others were still gathered here, discussing the matter of their seniors heading to the Cosmic Abyss.

To be honest, seeing their seniors heading to the path of eternity one by one made them a bit restless too.

After all, they used to be the main force venturing into similar secret realms.

But of course, the single restriction of being at the Immortal Level held them back firmly. They were just venting their frustrations.

"Why hasn't Brother Fan come out of seclusion yet? Or... has Brother Fan already secretly gone to the Cosmic Abyss?"

At that moment, Peng Song suddenly thought of Li Fan and couldn't help but speak softly.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present frowned slightly.

Indeed, the opening of the path of eternity was getting closer and closer, yet there was still no news from Li Fan's side.

Was he still unable to break through to the Immortal Realm? Or had Li Fan successfully broken through but not shown himself, instead heading directly to the Cosmic Abyss?

Although they had confidence in Li Fan, their first instinct was still the former.

There was no helping it. How could breaking through to the Immortal Level be so easy?

Failing to break through to the Immortal Realm was the normal situation.

Meanwhile, elsewhere...

At this time, some of the higher-ups at the headquarters center were also quite curious about Li Fan's situation.

However, unlike Peng Song and the others...

Not long ago, they had also noticed the situation with the golden vortex gate.

Therefore, they knew that Li Fan was definitely attempting his Immortal breakthrough and had most likely succeeded.

Now, the only thing that made them curious was: how many lifetimes of immortality had Li Fan actually achieved?!

During his World Lord period, Li Fan had merged a total of eight Great Dao laws.

In their view, under the most ideal circumstances, Li Fan might possibly achieve Six-Life Immortality.

However, that was the ideal scenario.

More likely, Li Fan might be a Four-Life Immortal or a Five-Life Immortal!

As for Seven-Life Immortality or Eight-Life Immortality, the possibility was extremely slim, the difficulty terrifyingly high. Although they all greatly hoped Li Fan could reach that step, hope was one thing, reality another.

If one could achieve as many Great Daos as the laws they merged, then beings like Three-Life Immortals wouldn't be so scarce in the universe.

And soon...

On the central planet of the headquarters at this moment...

The golden vortex gate began to flicker with waves of golden light.

This scene was clearly a sign that Li Fan was about to emerge.

"Is the little fellow finally coming out of seclusion? He's just in time for the opening of the path of eternity."

Elder Yuan looked at the golden vortex gate and spoke calmly, a clear hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He, too, was very curious about how many lifetimes of immortality Li Fan had managed to achieve?!

And that answer would soon be revealed.

The next second...

The golden light continuously shimmered as a figure stepped out through the air with a mighty presence. This was Li Fan, who had successfully broken through to Immortality!

Li Fan wasn't suppressing his aura at all. The pressure of a peak Immortal was unmistakable. Simultaneously, behind him, eight divine lights of different colors shone like stars around the moon, appearing quite miraculous!

"This is!"

Looking at the Li Fan before him, Elder Yuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes, a look of astonishment appearing on his face as his expression turned extremely grave.

First, Li Fan's cultivation realm somewhat exceeded his expectations.

In his view, Li Fan would at most reach the initial peak of the Immortal Level. He never expected him to directly break through to the peak of the Immortal Level, just one step away from the Universe King Lord?!

Even if his realm was exaggerated...

Li Fan had actually directly achieved eight Great Daos, becoming an Eight-Life Immortal!

This was simply too outrageous!

Did Li Fan really succeed in achieving every single one without missing any?

And he did this in less than two years!

Even with the help of the Eternal Brain, this speed was utterly preposterous!

As for Li Fan's current combat power, based on his rough judgment, it had clearly surpassed his earlier prediction of the Universe King Lord level, reaching the ranks of the Cosmic Supreme!

An Immortal body rivaling a Supreme Being—such an absurd situation seemed unprecedented throughout all of history!

Meanwhile, elsewhere, many higher-ups also noticed Li Fan's situation.

"Hiss! This kid... Eight-Life Immortal?!"

"Eight-Life Immortal! It really is Eight-Life Immortal!"

"Just what kind of monster is this Li Fan? He actually succeeded in becoming an Eight-Life Immortal?!"

"How ridiculously talented must he be?!"

"When I first met this Li Fan, he was just a small Universe Level cultivator. Who would have thought that in just a few short years, he would become a heaven-defying Eight-Life Immortal, with combat power almost on par with ours! This kid is destined for greatness!"

...

From their words, it could be seen...

These higher-ups were also shocked by Li Fan's outrageous situation.

Did Li Fan really just become an Eight-Life Immortal directly?!

Each of them had once been considered top-tier geniuses, but compared to the current Li Fan, they fell short by more than just a little!

As for Li Fan's side...

"Greetings, Elder!"

Upon seeing Elder Yuan before him, Li Fan didn't hesitate in the slightest. He immediately cupped his hands and performed a deep bow of respect.

"Mhm, no need for such formalities."

"It seems the results of your seclusion this time are far greater than I imagined!"

Elder Yuan nodded, then directly gave Li Fan a high evaluation.

In response, Li Fan couldn't help but shrug and smile,

"I can only say I didn't fail the mission. Being able to achieve such results is largely thanks to your guidance, Elder."

Li Fan wasn't deliberately feigning modesty out of politeness; he meant it from the bottom of his heart.

Because without the terrifying deduction ability of the Eternal Brain, he truly might not have been able to successfully attempt his Immortal breakthrough so quickly.

And then...

The two of them didn't engage in further pleasantries and directly began discussing matters related to the path of eternity.

Before long, Li Fan learned from Elder Yuan that the path of eternity hadn't fully opened yet, but most of the major cultivators from both Great Universes who met the restrictions had already headed there.

This made Li Fan breathe a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed his timing for emerging was just right!

And soon, Elder Yuan also informed him of the approximate official opening time for the path of eternity—about five days from now!

Which meant...

At the latest, Li Fan would have to set off for the Cosmic Abyss tonight, traveling alongside a group of headquarters higher-ups.

Regarding this, Li Fan couldn't help but feel some regret.

It seemed he didn't have much time to return and bid farewell to Gu Ling and the others.

However, it wasn't a big problem either.

When he returned triumphantly from the path of eternity...

At that time, the word 'farewell' could be completely removed from his life with his family.

"If you have any other matters to attend to, go handle them as quickly as possible now. Assemble here this afternoon."

Elder Yuan said unhurriedly.

Li Fan nodded, then vanished from the spot.

When Li Fan appeared again, he was already within his own estate on the Qingyun Project planet.

Apart from his family, the only ones he still felt some attachment to were these close friends.
