My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1006: The Fate of the Mirror Slave

Both women shifted their focus toward Li Fan the moment they heard his words, their expressions a mixture of astonishment and delight.

Due to the prior modifications, Li Fan’s influence within their subconscious had become incredibly profound.

Xuan Sushang agreed without hesitation after a brief moment of reflection. Right there in front of Li Fan, she began the process of contacting her father, the Mirror Holder known as [Cang].

She did not utilize a standard communication talisman; instead, she produced a personal miniature Tianxuan Mirror and began chanting soft incantations.

A few heartbeats later, a dark, faceless silhouette was projected into the air from the surface of the small mirror.

"Nian'er, what is the reason for you seeking me out?"

Cang’s voice carried the warmth of a kind, middle-aged uncle, his tone radiating gentleness. [Nian Nian] was the childhood nickname of Xuan Sushang.

The fact that Cang always used this name when addressing her was a clear testament to how much he doted on his daughter.

Feeling a bit anxious, Xuan Sushang explained the entire situation and relayed the request made by Li Fan.

It was only at this point that Cang took notice of Li Fan, who had been standing quietly by his daughter's side. Their eyes met, their gazes locking across the distance.

Possessing the origin essence of the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan finally grasped the true meaning behind the term [Mirror Slave] used by the mirror.

To confirm his theory, Li Fan conjured a mental image of his hand tightly gripping the Mirror Holder, Cang.

In that very instant, the blurry projection of Cang began to shake violently.

However, because of Li Fan’s precise mental control, Cang was unable to let out even a whimper of the agony he was experiencing.

"Father, what’s happening?" Xuan Sushang asked, noticing Cang’s strange behavior with a look of confusion.

Sensing the desperate silent pleas coming from Cang, Li Fan finally let go of the invisible hand in his mind.

Only then was Cang released from the infinite torture.

His acting skills were flawless, and his voice remained steady as he spoke: "It is nothing. I have simply engaged some defensive measures to keep away minor intruders. You and Lu Xichan should leave for a moment; I have vital matters to discuss with..."

"This esteemed lord," Cang added solemnly after a short pause.

Xuan Sushang and Lu Xichan looked at Li Fan instinctively. Once he gave a small nod, Xuan Sushang helped Lu Xichan up, and they exited the bamboo residence together.

Li Fan then casually erected a formation to seal the room off from the outside world.

"This old slave offers his greetings to the master." Now, Cang revealed his actual face and slowly dropped to his knees in a gesture of total submission.

His face was etched with terror, bearing no resemblance to a Mirror Holder who sat at the peak of authority within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Cang and his daughter, Xuan Sushang, shared a noticeable family resemblance.

Both had a youthful appearance that seemed at odds with the maturity of their voices.

While Cang sounded like a middle-aged man, he looked like a handsome youth barely in his twenties.

Li Fan said nothing, merely watching Cang in silence.

Cang remained in his kneeling position, not daring to lift his gaze for even a second.

"Mirror Slave..." Li Fan felt the wave of complex emotions pouring out of Cang, giving him an even deeper insight into what those words implied.

Through the connection of the Tianxuan Mirror's origin essence, Li Fan perceived Cang as nothing more than a parasitic entity entirely dependent on the mirror for survival.

His physical form, his spirit, his thoughts—every part of his being was built upon the foundation of the Tianxuan Mirror.

Even though Li Fan only held a fraction of the mirror's origin essence rather than the artifact itself.

Cang had no choice but to let Li Fan shape him as he pleased, lacking any ability to resist.

With just a single thought, Li Fan could wipe Cang’s existence from reality forever.

...

"What a cruel and hopeless technique. By comparison, the binding methods used in the Xuanhuang Realm are nothing more than a joke."

"Truly, it lives up to the reputation of a genuine immortal treasure."

Looking down at the once-mighty Mirror Holder who was now shivering on the floor before him, Li Fan felt a surge of shock in his heart.

Simultaneously, a flicker of desire grew within him.

"You may stand."

After a momentary lapse in concentration, Li Fan quickly resumed his cold, detached aura.

He proceeded to explain the general strategy for liberating the main body of the Tianxuan Mirror.

"Do not worry, Master; I shall do everything in my power to speed up the activation of the formation," Cang promised, his loyalty absolute.

"Transmitter Feng has also joined my side. Find a way to reach out to him directly. I suspect that with the two of you working together, most obstacles will be easily overcome," Li Fan remarked coolly.

Cang nodded his head repeatedly, agreeing to every word.

After that, no more words were wasted between the two, and Li Fan called Xuan Sushang back inside.

After Cang gave Xuan Sushang strict orders to follow Li Fan’s every command, his image finally faded from the mirror.

She was already terrified of Li Fan, and now, with her father's direct commands added on top.

Xuan Sushang was afraid to even breathe too loudly while in Li Fan’s presence.

"To be a mirror slave is to be bound to the Tianxuan Mirror for eternity. However, it clearly comes with significant advantages," Li Fan mused, looking at the place where Cang had just been.

In reality, as an extension of the Tianxuan Mirror, Cang was able to move freely between various sub-mirrors. Furthermore, he was granted access to specific powers belonging to the Tianxuan Mirror itself.

These included abilities like derivation, observation, and access to a massive wealth of information.

Of course, this was all subject to the Tianxuan Mirror's permission.

And as long as the primary body of the Tianxuan Mirror remained intact, he would be immortal and undying. No outside force could truly kill him.

Even being suppressed or sealed would have little impact.

The Tianxuan Mirror could simply delete a trapped mirror slave and recreate them at any moment.

"Only an immortal artifact could wield such power."

"It isn't even that degrading. Serving as a slave to such an artifact..."

"If this were common knowledge, the people of the Xuanhuang Realm would probably line up from Tianquan Prefecture all the way to the Congyun Sea to volunteer."

Li Fan gave a small shake of his head and picked up the small Tianxuan mirror from the floor.

Since even a mirror slave had such incredible powers, Li Fan, who possessed the mirror’s origin essence, naturally gained access to permissions he never could have imagined before.

For instance, right now...

When he sent his divine sense into the Tianxuan Mirror, he wasn't connecting like a normal cultivator.

Instead, his identity was recognized as a [Tianxuan Sub-Mirror] with almost every permission unlocked.

He couldn't post tasks or trade like a regular user.

However, he could browse and observe everything without restriction.

He could see data on almost every cultivator within the Tianxuan Mirror, including their Cultivation techniques, stored items, and their total contribution points.

He could see every record of what they had said in the different mirror sections...

Everything was laid out plainly before his eyes.

To Li Fan’s current vision, the world held no secrets.

Only a few individuals with extremely unique statuses remained hidden; everyone else was exposed.

The only downside was that Li Fan could only watch; he could not change anything.

He also couldn't tap into the primary computational power of the Tianxuan Mirror's main body.

This made sense, as Li Fan was not the mirror itself.

He had only been granted a small portion of its origin essence.

"Even so, this is truly incredible."

Despite his usual calm, Li Fan could not help but feel a surge of intense excitement.
