My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1080: True Immortal's Rift Power

Observing Lu Ya's unwavering conviction in his deductions, Xu Ke paused briefly before speaking deliberately, "I once heard that even sights captured by your own eyes might not always reveal the absolute truth."

"When assessing someone's nature, focus not on their spoken words, but on their actual deeds."

"Though I'm unaware of the precise events in that underground chamber, Mr. Bai has consistently treated us with exceptional kindness. Had it not been for his aid, we could have perished from hunger ages ago. Thus, I remain fully prepared to trust that Mr. Bai is genuinely a remarkable benevolent figure."

Xu Ke carefully arranged his thoughts while uttering them gradually. Delivering this rather eloquent address required him considerable time to complete.

Lu Ya let out a light laugh and ruffled Xu Ke's hair: "You cheeky kid, picking up a handful of books and now you're schooling me? All with that fancy rhetoric."

"Rest assured, I'm no fool who ignores logic. I understand the real score. It's simply that..." Lu Ya's gaze appeared to revisit that profoundly unsettling Faceless Statue, causing his heart to weigh down involuntarily.

Afterward, Lu Ya engaged in some casual conversation with Xu Ke. Upon what seemed like getting a message from elsewhere, he departed in haste.

"Lord Black Bird, how was my showing?" Right then, Xu Ke sought praise inwardly from Li Fan.

"Merely passable. You'll have to put in more effort going forward." Li Fan replied with utmost composure, leaving Xu Ke instantly downcast.

"Evidently, during this time period, the lingering might of the Faceless True Immortal far surpasses what it becomes millennia ahead. Lu Ya just glimpsed it once, yet he's already been marked by its essence, ensnared in the True Immortal's trap without any way out."

As the current Xuanhuang emissary of the Faceless True Immortal, Li Fan likely comprehended the essence of His strength more deeply than anyone else in this realm.

In prior simulations he'd undergone, Li Fan lacked the capability to perceive it. Yet at present, he instantly recognized that the core cause of Lu Ya's sudden shift in view toward Mr. Bai stemmed directly from the impact of the Faceless True Immortal's stone statue.

All creatures possess an innate dread toward enigmatic mighty beings.

It resembled a butterfly caught in a spider's snare, powerless to escape. Even without witnessing the hunter's arrival, it already anticipated its doom and trembled within.

That described Lu Ya's current plight.

Still, he subconsciously associated the statue of the Faceless True Immortal with Mr. Bai. Instead of shunning or pulling away from Mr. Bai, his intent was truly to evade the True Immortal's dominion.

Regrettably, much like the authentic Li Fan, conventional approaches offered no chance of liberation whatsoever.

Regarding any actual ties between Mr. Bai and the Faceless True Immortal...

During that short interaction, Li Fan detected no trace of the Faceless True Immortal's presence on Mr. Bai. Naturally, it could also be that his power was overwhelmingly vast, masking it effectively.

While musing on this, Li Fan noticed Xu Ke still pouting and rubbed his own forehead: "Your disposition requires further hardening. If a minor disappointment like this crushes you, how can you trail me in rescuing the world down the line?"

"Lord Black Bird, I haven't even reached ten years old. Must world-saving depend on someone like me?" Xu Ke replied with a woeful expression.

"Who else but you, bound by destiny to me?" Li Fan stated solemnly.

"Fine, prepare yourself. Soon, the Beast Taming Sect ought to hand you an assignment." Li Fan foretold once more.

Having displayed his prophetic insight repeatedly, Xu Ke now placed utter faith in Li Fan.

As anticipated, Li Fan's foresight proved accurate yet again on this occasion.

Three days passed, and Lu Ya escorted Xu Ke to a modest log hut positioned beyond the Beast Taming Sect's Demon Suppressing Tower.

A wooden sculpture and a wooden crate rested upon the table within the hut.

"Mr. Bai prepared this wooden sculpture as your gift." Lu Ya announced, his face bearing a complex look.

Over these three days, events appeared to have unfolded for him. His references to Mr. Bai carried far greater respect, though Li Fan sharply detected that the Faceless True Immortal's sway over him had intensified further.

"Wow!" Unaware of this shift, Xu Ke dashed eagerly to the table and seized the wooden sculpture with one hand.

"Eh? This resembles me?!" Xu Ke inspected it thoroughly from every angle and exclaimed in astonishment.

Regardless of its purpose, since it came from Mr. Bai, Xu Ke felt immense delight. He intended to store it securely at first, but following Li Fan's mental directive, he slipped it inside his robes instead.

"This sculpture holds considerable value." Li Fan fixed his gaze upon it, feeling the laws' power solidified within.

Being crafted by Mr. Bai, it was bound to be extraordinary.

The wooden carving depicting Xu Ke embodied the concept of retaliation.

Assaults below the sculpture's threshold would get absorbed and then reflected right back.

It bore resemblance to the ability Shuo Feng displayed after grasping the wooden sword's celestial anomaly.

"A complete assault from the Dao Integration realm can be flawlessly repelled by this carving. While its activations are finite, it stands as an undeniable lifesaver." As Li Fan delved into the heavenly principles embedded in the sculpture, he marveled at Mr. Bai's lavishness.

And indeed, Xu Ke was tasked with journeying to Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain to present the crimson wooden box to Emperor Yi Beast.

"Inside this box lies the severed head of [Emperor Erli]. Barring surprises, Mr. Bai himself likely performed the decapitation. Emperor Erli roamed unchecked, causing chaos and defying return to the demon kin. Though Mr. Bai eliminated him, he returned the remains to Emperor Yi."

"Through this gesture of goodwill, he seeks the technique for demon beasts to multiply via void consumption, enabling the breeding of Rift Whales."

Li Fan elucidated the underlying motives.

"Even as the Heavenly Dao's embodiment, Mr. Bai lacks insight into the precise developmental route for demon beasts and must consult Emperor Yi."

"It appears the demon beasts of the Xuanhuang Realm aren't indigenous at all. They hail from elsewhere."

"Emperor Yi perceived the looming catastrophe over the Xuanhuang Realm, realizing evasion was impossible. Hence, he aimed to tear open the barrier and depart..."

Before Li Fan's vision materialized that immense white peak, standing as if at the world's brink.

"Nanming Mountain, as Emperor Yi described, marks heaven's boundary, the ocean's verge, the globe's terminus."

"Myriad scattered energies from the Xuanhuang Realm gather there. Should a unique technique trigger an explosion, it could unleash horrifying might rivaling a True Immortal in a flash."

"Thus piercing the High Wall and exiting the Darkest Star Sea."

In the world a thousand years onward, Nanming Mountain had transformed into the Great Rift Vortex. This planetary scar refused to mend across millennia, underscoring the sheer ferocity of the energy surge during the boundary rupture at Nanming Mountain.

"The mechanism mirrors the Heavenly Sword Sect's World-Rifting Divine Weapon. Nevertheless, both remain conceptual. Success or failure, escape from the Darkest Star Sea or reduction to oblivion..."

"Remains unknown."
