My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1131: Great Xuan Conquers the Myriad Realms
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
Without the necessity of a rare heaven-and-earth treasure for further progress, Sun Erlang could have swiftly advanced straight to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Sun Erlang possessed a calm disposition, showing no excessive excitement. Instead, he proactively informed Li Fan about the development.
"The Great Xuan Imperial Army, along with all future soldiers and civilians drafted from different realms, will depend on your practice of the 'Sitting Immortal Art' for support."
"In the next five years, I expect you to assist me in building a versatile army, one that's effective for both offense and defense."
From his position in the air atop the "Saint Emperor Seat," Li Fan gazed down at the kneeling Sun Erlang and said softly.
"Regarding the vital resources required for your realm advancements, there's no need for you to concern yourself with them."
A wave of intense feelings washed over Sun Erlang, his blood surging with passion, as he accepted the command and then retreated.
Afterward, he headed to train the soldiers under his command in the Forbidden Army.
Meanwhile, Li Fan retrieved a Tianxuan Small Mirror and examined it using his divine sense.
This particular Tianxuan Small Mirror came as a surprising acquisition during the Taiyan Boat's trip to the Xuanhuang Realm on this occasion.
As the Taiyan Boat absorbed the spiritual energy from the Xuanhuang Realm, a Golden Core cultivator chanced to fly nearby.
Whether by pure luck or due to his remarkable sensitivity, this cultivator vaguely detected the unusual presence of the Taiyan Boat hidden under the formation's veil.
Believing he had stumbled upon a secret treasure, the man grew thrilled and began circling the area to investigate.
Ultimately, though, he activated the Taiyan Boat's protective formation and got pulled inside, where he was subdued.
Currently, Li Fan had confined him in the Great Xuan Dungeon, allowing him to languish there for now.
"It's unfortunate that this is just the standard Tianxuan Small Mirror, lacking the ability to transfer items directly."
Despite not having joined the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance in this lifetime, and even though this Tianxuan Small Mirror wasn't his own.
Li Fan linked up with the Tianxuan Mirror effortlessly without any barriers.
This seamless connection stemmed directly from the presence of the Tianxuan Mirror's Origin.
In his prior life, right as the world destruction Plan began, Li Fan had utilized an empty anchor point to exchange the "Thousand Mechanisms Jade Cosmos Golden Sutra" for the Tianxuan Mirror origin.
On [Truth]
's panel, it subsequently displayed as [Xuantian Mirror Origin (Incomplete)].The Tianxuan Mirror appeared unaware of this sudden addition of origin essence within the world.
And in this current life, as the rightful owner of this origin fragment, Li Fan's re-entry into the Tianxuan Mirror brought a sensation utterly distinct from before.
During the previous life, the Tianxuan Mirror's origin had been bestowed by the human form of the Tianxuan Mirror itself.
While it granted various exclusive privileges tied to the Tianxuan Mirror, fundamentally, those privileges derived from the mirror's core authority.
Should the Tianxuan Mirror desire it, the mirror could revoke the donated origin anytime, nullifying all associated permissions.
Yet in this life...
Li Fan roamed unbound through the vast information flows of the Tianxuan Mirror, experiencing genuine "freedom."
He held entirely autonomous permissions.
He could even perform actions beyond the capabilities of the Tianxuan Mirror proper.
For example, removing specific transaction logs.
Likely due to the Xuantian King's earlier attempts to refine it, the Tianxuan Mirror couldn't partake in falsification, trickery, or the like.
To ensure the smooth functioning of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, every piece of data in the Tianxuan Mirror remained unerasable and fully trackable.
In his last life, Mo Rubin's use of the Tianxuan Mirror to infer the Xuantian King's location was eventually exposed to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
This wasn't due to any disloyalty from the Tianxuan Mirror, but rather its built-in characteristics.
However, now bolstered by this fresh surge of origin power, Li Fan gained the ability to accomplish such a task.
He wiped out the details of the small Tianxuan Mirror's previous owner, then created a fresh, empty identity for himself.
Through selling crucial intelligence, he rapidly accumulated more than ten thousand contribution points in mere moments.
Leveraging that as a base, he dove into rapid trades, and within under half a month, Li Fan's contribution points had swelled to hundreds of thousands.
He acquired vast quantities of the required materials.
He designated the trade spots near the Great Xuan exit in the surrounding sea region.
From afar, Li Fan directed the Taiyan Boat to collect the goods.
...
Though it appeared cumbersome, Li Fan managed the processes smoothly and elegantly.
He secured every material essential for elevating the Great Xuan Imperial Army.
Freed from the constraints of heavenly treasures, the Great Xuan Imperial Army's power saw its initial explosive growth.
One Foundation Establishment cultivator after another arose, and Sun Erlang, leading them, surged to the peak of Foundation Establishment in no time.
In fact, he slightly outpaced Li Fan's current level in raw realm strength.
Nevertheless, empowered by Great Xuan's national fortune, in an actual confrontation, Sun Erlang couldn't endure even one strike from Li Fan.
Given how rapidly Sun Erlang's realm had risen, Li Fan instructed him to hold back his power for the moment.
Additionally, he imparted the Taishang Sect's technique to him, channeling all surplus cultivation feedback into storage.
At the three-year mark, the Great Xuan Imperial Army boasted fifty-six Foundation Establishment cultivators and eight hundred forty-two Qi Condensation cultivators.
On that particular day, Li Fan delivered a Dao lecture high above the Great Xuan capital.
His likeness spread across the entire territory through the Saint Emperor Seat.
As Li Fan's utterances, each brimming with boundless great Dao principles, echoed forth, extraordinary visions manifested in the skies over Great Xuan.
Heavenly blossoms showered down, while innumerable golden dragons soared through the heavens.
The heaven and earth furnaces, which Li Fan had sealed with formations earlier, now unleashed the spiritual qi accumulated over those three years into the environment.
Mortals too could feel this miraculous shift in the world right then.
To say nothing of Great Xuan's cultivators.
Out of the fifty-six Foundation Establishment cultivators, three achieved sudden insight and broke through to Golden Core.
Sun Erlang was included among those three.
Still, this was simply a straightforward realm breakthrough.
When it came to real battle prowess, they lagged far behind typical Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance cultivators.
Yet for Li Fan's purposes, it proved more than adequate.
He didn't anticipate them fighting on the front lines; their role was merely to supply spiritual power for activating the formation.
He handed the formation over to Sun Erlang, commanding the Great Xuan Imperial Army to rehearse it relentlessly day and night for perfect synchronization.
Great Xuan's might expanded ceaselessly with every day.
By the five-year anchor point, after prolonged buildup, Great Xuan at last initiated its inaugural conquest.
The objective was the Spiritwood Realm, a place Li Fan knew intimately.
Lacking any Dao Integration cultivators, the Spiritwood Realm's entrance couldn't be shifted directly to Great Xuan.
Therefore, the invasion path involved traversing Xuanhuang before entering the Spiritwood Realm.
To evade notice from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the invading force comprised just fifty cultivators under Sun Erlang's lead.
Aboard the Taiyan Boat, they slipped into the Spiritwood Realm undetected.
Upon beholding that immense tree that towered into the sky and rooted in the ground, every member of the Great Xuan Forbidden Army stood stunned for a brief instant.
But their rigorous training over the years swiftly sharpened their focus.
The formation activated in a flash, sending a trail of afterimage hurtling toward the Spiritwood.
It was the Sky-Patrolling Arrow!
The Sky-Patrolling Arrow's strike inevitably provoked the fury of the treefolk race.
They attempted to block its path.
However, even Nascent Soul-level treefolk elders proved as weak as tissue against the Sky-Patrolling Arrow.
Cries of agony resounded without end as the treefolk sacrificed themselves futilely, failing to halt the Sky-Patrolling Arrow from finally impacting the Spiritwood.
Boom!
A horrifying puncture tore through the Spiritwood's core.
The throbbing heart of the Spiritwood glimmered faintly inside.
Sun Erlang, donned in black-gold armor, soared ahead.
Ninety Sky-Patrolling Arrows whirled around him.
"Submit, or die."
