My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1031: Strange Eruption in Congyun Sea

Li Fan spoke those words as if they were the most natural conclusion in the world.

Deep down, however, he recognized that his capacity to upgrade the Xuantian Nether Lock Formation with such ease was purely a result of the Dissociation Disc's advantages.

Furthermore, he was utilizing the superior version created from the fusion of two lifetimes.

A typical Dao Integration Formation Master would likely find it incredibly difficult to even begin grasping the complexities of this ancient grand formation.

With these reflections, Li Fan shifted his attention away from the Nether Passage Mouth.

The era of frequent strange eruptions within the Xuanhuang Realm was supposed to be five centuries away.

Yet, in this current life, it was evident that the Xuanhuang Realm would not endure for that long.

"It is time to test the strength of extorting the Heavenly Dao through misconversion."

Focusing his consciousness, Li Fan zeroed in on the slender thread linking him to the Spirit of Heaven and Earth known as Golden Seal.

With a subtle tug, he harnessed the authority of heaven and earth to issue a fraudulent decree.

He commanded Golden Seal to return to the source of heaven and earth.

Positioned at the Nether Passage Mouth, Golden Seal appeared bewildered by the sudden emergence of this mysterious directive.

Departing now would clearly risk a massive wave of strange eruptions for a time.

Nevertheless, as a physical manifestation of the world's will, the Spirit of Heaven and Earth was incapable of disobeying its own essence.

After a brief pause of uncertainty, the Spirit of Heaven and Earth Golden Seal shifted from its golden chain form back into a human figure.

It gradually grew translucent until it completely dissolved into the fabric of heaven and earth.

The moment Golden Seal vanished.

Li Fan witnessed a colossal torrent of profound darkness surging violently from the murky, unobservable depths below.

It was formless and shapeless, yet it moved with the instinct of a living creature, spreading rapidly through the environment.

The reaction of heaven and earth to these dark substances was instantaneous.

A sharp premonition of being detected struck Li Fan’s heart; he immediately broke his link with the vast heavenly web and retreated far from the Congyun Sea.

Perhaps because it was occupied with the strange crisis, heaven and earth failed to notice Li Fan, who had manipulated the heavenly mandate from the shadows.

From a safe distance, Li Fan noticed that following Golden Seal's dispersal, two new Spirits of Heaven and Earth were already beginning to take shape within the Congyun Sea.

Having only intended to test the waters, Li Fan was quite pleased with the performance of his divine ability, [Method of False Misconversion].

The Spirit of Heaven and Earth held a status even higher than the Transformations of Heaven and Earth.

Since he could utilize the heavenly mandate to dictate terms to the Spirit of Heaven and Earth.

Then triggering Heaven and Earth Transformations within a specific area would naturally be effortless.

"I could even use this technique to stir chaos in the Xuanhuang Realm first, then direct the momentum to 'manufacture' the specific Spirit of Heaven and Earth needed to fix the problem." Li Fan’s mind raced as he explored the wild possibilities.

"However, such actions would eventually tip off heaven and earth to the inconsistency. It is a trick that can be played once, but not repeatedly; its long-term utility is restricted."

Despite having left the Congyun Sea, Li Fan used the Tianxuan Mirror to keep a constant watch on the leak at the Nether Passage Mouth.

On the surface, everything looked peaceful and entirely still.

There were no outward signs of anything unusual happening.

Yet, before the cultivators could realize it, subtle strange events had already started to manifest across Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

Inside Qianli Hall.

"What is going on? Why is this month's ledger not balancing?"

Jiao Xiuyuan knit his brows in frustration as he re-evaluated the monthly gains.

To his shock, he found that he had actually suffered a financial loss.

His vital energy roiled, and he nearly coughed up a mouthful of old blood, struggling to maintain his composure.

Jiao Xiuyuan forced his irritation down and performed a meticulous audit of every entry.

The numbers remained the same.

"This makes no sense. I distinctly recall that this month should have yielded a small profit. How can it be a loss?"

Jiao Xiuyuan was utterly baffled.

He immediately stopped taking customers and barred the doors.

Then, he carefully reviewed every transaction and deal that had taken place on Ten Thousand Immortals Island during the month.

Finally, he located the discrepancy.

"There it is. An outstanding account that was never paid."

"Who was the one who owed this?"

Jiao Xiuyuan whispered to himself as he searched his records, his face turning grimmer by the second.

He realized that the person who owed him the debt had vanished without a trace for no apparent reason.

Not only was there no memory of this individual in his own mind, but even the Tianxuan Mirror held zero data regarding them.

It was as if the person had never existed in the first place.

"This..."

Jiao Xiuyuan’s immediate thought was that he had crossed paths with a powerful figure.

"Which friend is playing such a prank on old Jiao?"

A flash of anger crossed his dark features.

But Jiao Xiuyuan soon felt a sense of confusion.

"It's only ten thousand contribution points; is it really worth such an effort?"

Once he calmed down, Jiao Xiuyuan felt a growing unease in his heart.

After heading out to investigate, he confirmed his suspicions.

"Just as I thought, more than one person has vanished into thin air."

Jiao Xiuyuan’s eyes scanned the area; he quickly pulled out a jade slip and began recording his observations.

The strange events occurring in the Congyun Sea were not limited to disappearances.

On one particular island, the entire population transformed into faceless horrors in a single night.

Every individual saw their own reflection as normal, but when they looked at others, they saw only a blank, faceless head.

Furthermore, they could no longer comprehend each other's speech.

Driven by pure terror, the islanders slaughtered one another until only a single survivor remained.

There was also the case of a fishing vessel that returned to port, but the crew never disembarked.

When curious locals boarded to investigate, they found only piles of skeletons.

The ship's interior appeared to have aged hundreds of years, becoming rotten and crumbling.

...

A wide array of bizarre and colorful anomalies began to surface.

Even Li Fan, the man responsible, watched the unfolding chaos with a sense of wonder.

"Every anomaly and strange event must be tied to a specific rule. If someone can decipher the secret of that rule during the outbreak, they can not only survive but might even control a portion of that new rule's power."

"If cultivators represent the authority of the old laws of heaven and earth, then these new laws..."

"They could potentially birth an entirely different system of power."

Since his fusion with heaven and earth, Li Fan’s insight had reached new heights.

In a heartbeat, he envisioned numerous paths.

"However, these so-called new laws are merely temporary during the fusion process. Once the Xuanhuang Realm finishes its consumption and integration, the old laws will return to dominance."

"These new laws will then be treated as heresies to be purged."

"Furthermore, the Immortal Ancestor and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would never permit such power to thrive."

"But personally, I hope as many of these existences appear as possible."

Watching from the shadows, Li Fan identified the potential gains hidden within this catastrophe.

He set out once more for the Congyun Sea, searching for any beings who had survived the strange events and mastered these abnormal powers.

From the perspective of heaven and earth, those squirming dark entities were as clear as parasites.

There was no danger of him being caught in the effects.

Li Fan visited several sites of strange outbreaks, observing from the edges.

It had to be admitted that for normal beings, surviving a strange event was nearly impossible.

Li Fan inspected over a dozen outbreak zones and found no survivors at all.

But his persistence eventually bore fruit; on an island called [Fan Yong], he finally located his prize.
