My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1138: Heat Death Ice-Seal Transformation

Assuming the role of Sun Ang and sneaking into the heart of the Guardian Hall, his real aim wasn't the Derivative Law Jade at all.

Instead, it was all about finding a secure spot to conceal himself.

Based on the details collected up to now, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance oversaw the cultivators protecting the Derivative Law Jade with ironclad discipline.

Their histories had to be flawless, and they were mostly picked from lineages that had loyally served the Guardian Hall for ages.

Prior to acceptance, they faced intense examinations.

Furthermore, the crucial aspect was that selecting to safeguard the Derivative Law Jade locked them inside the Guardian Hall headquarters for a full three hundred years without leaving.

During their watch, these guardians essentially turned into captives themselves.

Thus, within the long-standing clans of the Guardian Hall, scarcely anyone desired this exhausting duty.

No matter how lavish the compensations might be.

All they craved was authority and pleasures of the flesh.

Enduring confinement for three centuries wasn't a trial just anyone could bear.

Yet these stringent requirements perfectly suited Li Fan's perfect sanctuary.

The Guardian Hall base was nestled right within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's central hub.

The chamber housing the Derivative Law Jade was fortified with layers of arrays and barriers.

It could even account for defenses against an Immortal Ancestor.

For Li Fan in his present state, breaking in and out carried no absolute guarantee of success.

By swapping identities and burrowing deep inside.

Even as chaos erupted across the world outside, nobody would suspect the mastermind pulling the strings had slipped into this vital stronghold of the Immortal Alliance centuries ago.

"Truthfully, the Derivative Law Jade offers me scant benefit these days."

"Pushing to higher realms demands an Immortal technique that aligns flawlessly, or else it hinges on my personal grasp of the Dao and the universe's truths."

"As for the standard methods the Derivative Law Jade generates..."

Li Fan gave a faint shake of his head.

In the end, it was just a marvel from the Xuanhuang Heaven. From Li Fan's elevated vantage now, battling foes like the Heavenly Doctor, the Immortal Ancestor, or a True Immortal, the Derivative Law Jade's aid proved woefully inadequate.

Having cycled through countless reincarnations, Li Fan had delved into timeless enigmas from past and present.

Securing the Tianxuan Mirror's essence unveiled the horde of mysteries shrouding the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Under the tutelage of the Heavenly Doctor's legacy...

Li Fan's wisdom and stature had soared to the pinnacle among all in the Xuanhuang Realm.

For instance, the Mysterious True Spirit Transformation that the Derivative Law Jade once produced only reached as far as the Nascent Soul True Lord level.

Yet when Li Fan ascended to Soul Transformation this lifetime, in those eight years lingering in the minor realm, he effortlessly adapted it to Soul Transformation solely through his own ingenuity, with barely any strain.

In a way, when crafting skills tailored precisely to his needs, Li Fan subtly outshone the Derivative Law Jade.

After all, Li Fan wielded [Truth], a secret forever beyond the Derivative Law Jade's reach.

"Except..."

"Similar to the Final Dissociation Disc, if I assist its evolution and upgrade."

Li Fan's eyes gleamed thoughtfully.

As these ideas swirled in his mind, he soared out from the hidden cavern beneath the Luojia Mountains.

The Spirit of Heaven and Earth known as Purple Luminous paled in might compared to the nascent Crimson Flame; Li Fan felt no urge to consume it.

But without absorbing it, how could he masquerade as a Dao Integration expert...

From the [Xuanhuang World-Destroying Transformations] Li Fan had claimed, several forces rivaled or exceeded a Spirit of Heaven and Earth in potency.

Their outward displays and energy signatures mirrored those of a Spirit of Heaven and Earth so closely that telling them apart was nearly impossible.

Ultimately, a Spirit of Heaven and Earth embodied the Xuanhuang Realm's laws in tangible form.

In the fleeting moment right before annihilation, there simply wasn't opportunity to summon a fitting Spirit of Heaven and Earth; it erupted straight as raw worldly might.

During his flight returning to the Sun family, Li Fan's attire and features shifted subtly.

His brows and locks whitened like fresh snow, while his robes bore a sheen of frost.

The air he traversed in flight chilled sharply, spawning countless minuscule ice shards.

"[Heavenly Heat Death, All Things Frozen], a desperate derivation that emerged in the Xuanhuang Realm amid existential threats."

"It engulfs the cosmos in utter chill and stillness, aiming to dodge the doom. Conceptually, it holds real promise."

"Regrettably, the invading force overwhelmed everything in a flash, shattering the whole framework."

"This Heat Death Frozen Transformation mimics an ice-attuned Spirit of Heaven and Earth almost perfectly. The sporadic bursts of energy I release on purpose mimic the instability of a fresh breakthrough, with a shaky cultivation base."

While Li Fan mulled this over, the silhouette of Tianyu Sky City loomed ahead.

He didn't hesitate for a second, diving directly into the Sun family enclave inside the city.

Though the Sun family boasted ancestors serving key posts in the Guardian Hall across generations, and currently counted three Dao Integration powerhouses among them, they kept an incredibly modest profile.

In Tianyu Sky City, they owned just two neighboring cave abodes that looked plain and forgettable from without.

It was only inside that the expansive, linked interiors revealed their true grandeur.

"Sun Ang? You finally deign to return?"

The moment Li Fan arrived by air, an irate voice rang out.

It belonged to Wu Ninglu, the Dao companion of the vessel he now inhabited, Sun Ang.

Wu Ninglu's realm matched Sun Ang's former one, both hovering at late Soul Transformation.

That said, their bond was strained; they'd wed under duress from their respective houses.

Over the years, no children had come from their union.

"Eh? You..." Wu Ninglu stormed forward, ready to demand answers.

But upon taking in Li Fan's altered look clearly, shock froze her in place.

Li Fan simply shot Wu Ninglu a look, offering no reply.

"I'm weary."

In a voice laced with frost, he uttered this, then headed to Sun Ang's dwelling.

The Sun family's cavern home formed a broad, round valley.

Key facilities such as the clan assembly chamber and storehouse sat at the valley's core.

Individual family members' homes dotted the surrounding cliffs.

Wu Ninglu had stewed in resentment for ages over Sun Ang's abrupt vanishing act and baffling absence.

Now, witnessing his return coupled with that same aloof, evasive demeanor, her rage boiled over.

Yet oddly, right as she geared up to unleash it, his glacial stare doused her fire in an instant.

Her lips parted, but fear choked back any words she might have hurled.

This strange feeling lingered only until Sun Ang's form faded entirely from view.

"He actually scared me off?!" Wu Ninglu reeled in disbelief, a mix of outrage and astonishment surging through her.

Still, replaying Sun Ang's demeanor from moments ago, a daring suspicion bubbled up unbidden.

"Could Sun Ang have achieved a breakthrough?"

Earlier, confronting Sun Ang, Wu Ninglu had truly sensed the dread and disquiet that gripped her only in the presence of the clan's elders.

This realization swept away every trace of her prior ire and grievances.

Blending awe and elation, she rushed after him to their shared abode.

"Sun Lang?"

As though reliving their first encounters, Wu Ninglu called out tentatively.
