My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1057: Tianyang Immortal War Puppet

"Is your reminder truly necessary? Those youngsters were confined the moment they stepped back. We simply haven't extracted any findings from the questioning yet," Zhou remarked with an air of indifference.

...

Upon departing the miniature world of Dharma-Transmitter Zhou, Li Fan found himself at the frontier of Tianquan Prefecture.

He cast a brief look toward the distant Nether Prison before gradually averting his eyes.

"The opportunity to descend and investigate will come eventually. There is no need for haste right now."

With that thought, he accelerated toward the Spiritwood Realm.

"Junior Brother, are we being shadowed by anyone?"

After traveling some distance, Li Fan suddenly projected the question within his mind.

A translucent layer of armor materialized instantly over his skin, its sharp angles perfectly contouring to Li Fan’s physique.

Tianyang’s voice resonated from within the protective shell: "Rest easy, Senior Brother. I have severed the two tracking divine senses. I even provided them with a minor warning."

Tianyang’s tone possessed far more vitality now than it had five years prior.

The lingering effects of his transformation into a puppet had been entirely eradicated, rendering him indistinguishable from any living cultivator.

These advancements were the direct result of this immortal-grade [War Puppet].

This battle armor—this war puppet—was the very source of the confidence that emboldened Li Fan to attend the meeting alone and confront two Dharma-Transmitters directly.

The betrayal by Mo Rubin had served as a profound stimulus for Li Fan.

Consequently, he had channeled that pressure onto the inhabitants of the Spiritwood Realm.

Not only had Master Qiaogong displayed brilliance by finishing the immortal-grade puppet in a mere five years, but the Medicine King Sect had also yielded consistent breakthroughs, earning Li Fan's approval. However, those matters could be addressed later.

Following his total metamorphosis, Tianyang’s power had reached staggering new heights.

Even when Li Fan unleashed his maximum potential, he found himself unable to penetrate Tianyang's defenses in the slightest.

His specialized divine abilities, including Extracting Threads and Cutting Life and the Five Elements Annihilation Sword, failed to even rattle Tianyang.

Even strikes of divine sense vanished like a clay ox sinking into the ocean, incapable of creating the smallest disturbance.

Only the replicated Chaos Character Script managed to cause Tianyang any degree of difficulty.

Yet, that was the extent of it.

Fueled by Source Power Essence—a force that surpassed the mundane—Tianyang’s current prowess was certainly not inferior to a New Method Longevity Immortal of the Xuanhuang Realm.

While his offensive capabilities might still be developing, his immortal-grade puppet physique ensured that even if victory was elusive, he could only be restrained, never destroyed.

With Tianyang, a being rivaling a Longevity Immortal, serving as his protective armor, Li Fan saw no reason to fear two mere Dharma-Transmitters.

Had he not discovered that Mo Rubin held clandestine control over the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Li Fan’s original intent would have been to capture and enslave those two Dharma-Transmitters on the spot.

The shield Tianyang provided was absolute. It protected not just the physical form; any soul-based assault would need to crush Tianyang’s own soul will before it could reach Li Fan.

And how formidable was Tianyang’s willpower?

Even during his time in the Foundation Establishment stage, it had endured for millennia without fading, existing as an eternal remnant will. Now, as an immortal puppet, it had sublimated further, surpassing even Li Fan’s own.

In essence, encased within Tianyang’s armor, Li Fan experienced a sense of safety he had never known before.

Even if he were to stand before Mo Rubin this very moment, he would be brimming with poise and devoid of fear.

Carried by Tianyang, Li Fan soon arrived back at the Spiritwood Realm.

In the five years that had passed, the Spiritwood Realm had undergone another massive evolution.

The various small worlds linked to it via spatial rifts—such as the Great Li Realm, the Empire, and the Beast Realm—had begun a slow process of merging with the Spiritwood Realm.

Drawing inspiration from how the Xuanhuang Realm absorbed other cultivation realms using the False Misconversion of the heavenly dao, Li Fan had mastered the art of world-devouring and integration.

However, given his current level of cultivation, replicating the Xuanhuang Realm’s efficiency was still a struggle.

He had to utilize formation refinement to carve out an alternative path.

Viewed from a distance, the Spiritwood Realm currently looked like a bizarre monstrosity, with numerous small worlds grafted onto its main body.

But Li Fan never prioritized beauty; as long as the results were functional, he was satisfied.

Furthermore, this was merely his initial attempt. He believed his skills in "fabricating" fused worlds would sharpen with experience.

Beyond the physical expansion of the Spiritwood Realm, the Federation of All Worlds had been organized into specific functional branches.

It had finally gained a solid foundation, moving beyond being a mere figurehead organization.

The [Alchemy] department was staffed by the former disciples of the Medicine King Sect.

The [Artifact Refining] department was overseen by Master Qiaogong and Fang Zaiji, supported by a large group of apprentices.

The [Seeking the Hidden] department was managed by the clone Li Qing, utilizing a core group of elite deathsworn gathered from the various small worlds.

Finally, the [Illuminate the Dao] department consisted primarily of gifted young cultivators, including those from the Mountains and Rivers Pavilion.

...

The structure was now complete, manifesting in a wide variety of ways.

Choosing not to interrupt their work, Li Fan headed toward a massive, newly excavated chamber adjacent to the underground vault.

This area remained a secret known only to him, shielded by barriers of seven-colored divine light.

Li Fan had designated this nascent department as [World Destruction].

True to its name, the future members of this branch would be tasked with researching every possible method to annihilate the Xuanhuang Realm.

The concept was so terrifying that despite the absolute loyalty of his followers, Li Fan had kept the existence of this department hidden for the time being.

"I suppose I can only recruit individuals who are equally fanatical."

"The Xuanhuang Realm is vast; if I search diligently, such people will surely be found."

While contemplating this, Li Fan observed the objects encased in seven-colored light within the [World Destruction] chamber.

Most were batches of gray mold cultivated over the last five years, stored for potential crises.

However, there were also several recent inventions.

Li Fan gestured, and a dim, flickering cluster of seven-colored light drifted weakly into his palm.

"The Heaven-Rending Arrow..."

"By applying the Method of False Misconversion of the heavenly dao and understanding the nature of the eerie power, I have finally succeeded in recreating it."

The Heaven-Rending Arrow was the supreme weapon used by the Heaven-Suppressing Society in a previous life to defy the Mysterious Net.

It utilized the chaotic energy of the eerie to inflict localized damage upon the Mysterious Net.

In this current era, where the Tianxuan Mirror had not yet supplanted the heavens, the arrow’s purpose was to spark massive eerie outbreaks, causing the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao to spiral out of control.

Li Fan did not produce the eerie power within the Heaven-Rending Arrow himself.

Instead, he had traveled to sites of eerie manifestations to harvest the energy piece by piece, sealing it within the seven-colored divine light.

Each arrow expended was a resource lost.

However, with the frequency of eerie outbreaks in the Xuanhuang Realm today, there was no immediate concern regarding supply.

Aside from the Heaven-Rending Arrow, the other primary weapon in the [World Destruction] space was the Chaos Character Script.

Based on the data from its self-destruction in the 115th cycle, and refined by suggestions from Master Qiaogong.

The Chaos Character Script was now etched into a puppet’s core, granting it a level of sentience.

It could follow Li Fan's commands to travel to a specific target and detonate the script at a precise moment.

Even more impressively, this puppet was equipped with a mechanism to disrupt causality.

This made it nearly impossible for anyone to trace the event back to the mastermind through the use of divination.
