My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1132: The Creation Cauldron Furnace Changes
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
Out of the ninety Sky-Patrolling Arrows, just half consisted of genuine deadly entities.
The remaining half were nothing more than deceptive phantoms created by arrays, flashy yet empty.
Yet the treefolk in the Spiritwood Realm had been utterly shaken by the devastating might shown by that single prior Sky-Patrolling Arrow, rendering them completely incapable of telling illusion from reality.
The core colossal tree shared a profound connection with the entire Spiritwood Realm.
As the timber thrived, so did the realm flourish; once the timber fell, the realm would crumble.
The enormous hollow in the trunk of that colossal tree stripped the treefolk of the Spiritwood Realm of any will to fight back.
The treefolk chieftain, a female, guided her whole tribe into a shameful prostration in front of the Great Xuan Imperial Army, vowing their allegiance.
Following this, Sun Erlang adhered to the directives from the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor, inscribing multiple layers of arrays directly onto the Heart of the Giant Tree.
Though he remained unaware of the purpose of this array, executing commands stood as the holy obligation of the Great Xuan Imperial Army.
With his power now at the peak of Golden Core, Sun Erlang found igniting the array quite draining.Additionally, he needed to stay alert for any retaliation from the treefolk tribe.
Luckily, the intimidating force of the Sky-Patrolling Arrow proved far too overwhelming, and ultimately, the treefolk tribe refrained from risking an all-out desperate clash.
Upon finishing the array, a dazzling emerald radiance burst forth from the Heart of the Giant Tree.
The spirit tree's injury started mending gradually, while a silhouette materialized within the shining light.
"The spirit of the giant tree..." Sun Erlang whispered in contemplation.
True to his expectations, once the giant tree's spirit manifested, it refused to align with the treefolk.
Instead, it sent a communication to Sun Erlang: "Are you Senior Brother Sun? Teacher instructed you to station half the Imperial Army here to help build the array."
"Oh, and I'm Lin Ling."
Lin Ling shared a clip of visuals, and recognizing the well-known voice of the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor in the display, Sun Erlang gave a subtle nod.
Without suffering a single casualty among soldiers or subordinates, using merely one Sky-Patrolling Arrow, Sun Erlang managed to seize the Spiritwood Realm. Still, Sun Erlang understood perfectly that this success owed nothing to the Great Xuan Imperial Army's fighting skills. It stemmed entirely from the Sky-Patrolling Arrow's horrifying might, able to shatter skies and obliterate realms.
Sun Erlang gave a faint shake of his head, pushing aside the irritation within him. He directed the leftover forces toward the next targeted minor world.
"Great Li? Hmph..." A spark of murderous resolve flickered in Sun Erlang's gaze.
...
Once the Great Xuan Imperial Army had left, Lin Ling took charge of the treefolk tribe using the array methods passed down by Li Fan.
She harbored scant affection for these treefolk.
In contrast, Li Fan—who had preached the Dao to her, shared techniques, and cleared her confusions right at her awakening—remained the individual Lin Ling felt most connected to in this existence.
"The Heaven and Earth All Spirits Great Formation?"
"Upon its completion, the array will forge a pathway to Teacher's dwelling world. It will also elevate the spiritual energy levels throughout the Spiritwood Realm, enabling the realm's transcendence."
"Begin by erecting the base array. The other essential components will arrive via the Great Xuan Imperial Army soon."
Reflecting on the array's details given by Li Fan, and remembering the vow that she could stand before the Great Xuan solely after finishing the Heaven and Earth All Spirits Great Formation, Lin Ling brimmed with drive. She pressed the lethargic treefolk to hasten their efforts again.
...
Great Xuan.
Detecting the faintly indistinct visions coming from the Spiritwood Realm, Li Fan gave an inward affirmation.
Even though in this lifetime, he intended to trigger it within the Dark Realm, drawing on the shadows' force to dull the Faceless True Immortal's awareness.
Yet Li Fan couldn't foresee the exact degree of this dilution.
Thus, the [Heaven and Earth Myriad Spiritual, All Beings Refine the Spirits] grand array became essential to establish, serving as a safeguard against surprises.
If describing the initial sight of countless billions of lives vanishing simultaneously, where Li Fan's thoughts held some ripples.
Then subsequent viewings, one after another...
Li Fan experienced zero mental burden whatsoever.
He gathered his focus and turned his gaze to the so-called second disciple of this incarnation standing nearby.
Wang Xuanba.
Differing from how he handled Sun Erlang, Li Fan withheld the new law cultivation technique from him.
Rather, he passed on the [Creation Furnace Technique] that he had developed personally.
This iteration diverged vastly from the early rough version, which had simply forced open the body's latent stores and brutally amplified the flesh.
In the prior life, after insights from the Heavenly Doctor and merging the [Heavenly Doctor Immortal Scripture] with the Mending Heaven Record completely, Li Fan acquired fresh perspectives on awakening the body's hidden strengths.
Nevertheless, applying concepts in reality demanded trials.
Wang Xuanba's unique build made him an ideal test case.
“Xuanhuang heaven and earth, right before total ruin struck, unleashed countless marvelous shifts.”
“Humans ought to mirror that.”
“Under usual conditions, the human form stays equilibrated. It taps into its own reserves only during assaults from outsiders or when confronting deadly peril.”
Seated across from Li Fan was the seventeen-year-old Wang Xuanba, eyes shut in deep repose.
His stature had soared to almost three zhang tall, his frame rippling with sinews, and his skin layered with a golden, scale-like sheath.
Though human outlines lingered faintly, a quick look evoked the image of a primordial savage creature.
“I've already grafted tissues from eighteen varieties of exotic beasts, with just seven successfully merged and integrated by him. The others sparked intense repulsions; without my timely rescue, he would have succumbed to lineage depletion long ago.”
“That said, with his body hardening further, a fresh integration might succeed now.”
Harboring this thought, Li Fan infused a lump of mutated flesh from the Heavenly Silk Fox beast into Wang Xuanba's form.
An overfocus on raw strength appeared to have disrupted the equilibrium in Wang Xuanba's bodily growth, teetering it toward breakdown. It required bolstering in swiftness.
Li Fan burned with curiosity to uncover the true boundary of human corporeal limits.
...
Great Li Realm.
The takeover of Great Li proved somewhat smoother than the Spiritwood Realm's.
No Sky-Patrolling Arrows were even deployed; the mere vision of the Great Xuan Imperial Army soaring overhead prompted the capital's emperor and all his court officials to drop to their knees.
Upholding the rule of a single sovereign—the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor—Sun Erlang ruthlessly beheaded Great Li's emperor.
He chose Prince Zhennan, Xiao Tianyou, to serve as the puppet sovereign.
As Holy Emperor Bases sprouted throughout Great Li, the populace quickly embraced the abrupt regime shift.
Along with acknowledging that Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor's presence.
Great Li steadily evolved into a spiritual energy minor world as well.
Anchor Year 8.
“85%.”
“It's progressing a touch slower than earlier.”
“Could it stem from my present bodily condition?”
Li Fan examined the figure on the panel and sank into contemplation.
Across three years, with the integration of the Spiritwood Realm, Beast Realm, Great Li Realm, and various other minor worlds into Great Xuan's domain, his [Heavenly Emperor Qi Classic] had triumphantly reached the third layer.
The Great Xuan national fortune blazed like a dawn sun, radiating intense crimson glow and pulsing life force.
Moreover, the tangible battle strength he could unleash matched the initial Soul Transformation phase in the Xuanhuang Realm.
However, Li Fan had detected the impasse in the Heavenly Emperor Qi Classic.
To push onward to the fourth layer, the Purple Qi Realm.
Given the ongoing pace, it might demand several decades more.
