My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1156: The Resolution of Truth Foundation Establishment

As Li Ping absorbed Master Yin's deep revelations regarding Foundation Establishment from that side, Li Fan's genuine form gained instant knowledge of it too.

"Completely burying one's former self to carve out an endless journey ahead?"

Li Fan contemplated quietly.

Suddenly, his mind drifted to the marvelous artifact [Truth].

From his prior feat of "hundred lifetimes forging a solid base," where he integrated part of [Truth] into a fresh Dao foundation, it appeared that [Truth] had merged seamlessly with him.

"That implies, to fully realize [Foundation Built Upon Oneself], I need to fully integrate the entire [Truth] into it..."

This notion struck even Li Fan as somewhat ridiculous.

Upon activation of [Truth], the entire realm shifts from reality to illusion in a flash, resetting to the preset anchor.

No True Immortal can escape this fate.

"Independent of [Truth], free from limits like anchors and recharges: merely a thought would spawn or end the world, allowing return to any chosen moment effortlessly..."

"An power of this caliber."

"Likely, no other Foundation Establishment could rival it, huh?"

Inwardly, Li Fan shook his head.

"Yet this sparks a contradiction."

"With such power at hand, why bother chasing any new New Method? Smashing the Immortal Ancestor or crushing the Faceless would be trivial feats."

"Lacking a unique technique to dissect [Truth]'s core beforehand, this route is basically a impasse for me."

"Occasionally, an overly mighty base isn't always advantageous."

Li Fan's gaze wandered unintentionally to the spot housing the Museum of Divine Treasure.

In his recent exchange with Master Yin, the latter suggested a practical approach to pilfer Mr. Bai's skull.

Draw the tiger away from its den: deceive Emperor Sanmo into leaving the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters.

Then substitute a counterfeit skull for the authentic one.

"Following Mr. Bai's reversal of heaven and earth at the expense of his life, all spiritual essence in his form faded completely. It turned into nothing more than regular mortal remains."

"Er... apart from its marginally tougher texture."

"Thus, forging an exact replica of the skull and swapping it without breaching the seals could allow unnoticed retrieval of Mr. Bai's skull."

"While the idea holds water, putting it into practice..."

Master Yin shook his head, and thereafter, he dropped the topic entirely.

However, Li Fan never let it slip from his thoughts.

Concerning Mr. Bai's remains showing no oddities, Li Fan held firm conviction in this.

Not just the lingering spirits of the world, such as Master Yin, who sensed nothing unusual.

Even the Tianxuan Mirror, upon evaluating Mr. Bai's rib bone previously, had valued it at the bare minimum of 1 contribution point.

"But the skull stands apart."

"Housing Mr. Bai's everlasting lingering will, it can't possibly be mundane."

"During activation of the everlasting lingering will, [Truth] remains unusable. Nor can the everlasting lingering will carry over to the subsequent life. Therefore..."

A spark of deep insight flickered in Li Fan's eyes.

"The optimal strategy remains creating a secure setting amid distractions, much like in the prior life when seizing the Xuanhuang Life Transformations changes."

"Regarding the lure the tiger from the mountain tactic, what truly matters to Emperor Sanmo? Clues might lie in the Fallen Immortal Realm."

"And with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters under assault, leaving them overwhelmed..."

"The Immortal Ancestor's scheme uncovered, compelling its emergence into the open and capturing the attention of the whole Xuanhuang Realm."

A basic framework of the plot swiftly formed within the existing scheme.

"Given the Immortal Ancestor's overwhelming might that baffles even deities and spirits, compelling its revelation through brute force is utterly impractical. The sole option is to endanger the Xuanhuang Realm it treasures..."

"This round, I won't need to take the antagonist role personally."

On the game board, every element aligned, ready for Li Fan's deliberate maneuvers.

...

While Li Fan lurked in shadows, scheming various dark intrigues.

The portion of his divine sense he'd detached and bound to Wu Ninglu earlier uncovered something rather captivating.

Wu Ninglu was with child!

In her concentrated cultivation sessions, Li Fan's divine sense meticulously inspected the unborn child within her and verified it as Sun Ang's offspring, the guise Li Fan had assumed.

"Yet it's sealed via a hidden technique, pausing its development."

"This lady proves intriguing as well."

After monitoring her for some time, Li Fan realized Wu Ninglu wasn't the simpleton she seemed to Sun Ang.

Her union with the Sun family carried a hidden agenda.

Earlier, the inadvertent disclosure of Sun Ang's Dao Integration breakthrough compelled him to guard the Derivation Law Jade for five centuries. That served to remove Sun Ang from the scene.

All the gains Sun Ang forfeited flowed straight to this woman.

She poured those rare assets into intense cultivation.

Her advancement in a single month outpaced the prior three years combined.

Li Fan's divine sense even detected faintly that soon she'd reach Soul Transformation perfection.

And that very day, Wu Ninglu, immersed in home seclusion, finally showed a vulnerability.

As though transformed into another soul, Wu Ninglu approached the room's mirror, her lithe fingers repeatedly tracing her features.

Her eyes held a vacant stare, yet sporadically gleamed with malice.

"Sister, your existence is so enviable; your cultivation pace outstrips even mine..."

Wu Ninglu's face shifted once more, her grin fading: "Wu Ningju, are you insane? Taking over me now; aren't you worried about detection by the Sun family?"

She aimed to whisper, but her quivering frame betrayed the fury surging inside her.

Wu Ningju seized the body again, beaming widely: "Sister, I'm not the dullard you imagine. Absent the Elder's directive, how could I risk reaching out to you so freely?"

"Pay close attention: Fresh intelligence indicates that in three months, that artifact will return to the Sun family. Then, you must uncover its storage location."

Wu Ningju's tone softened gradually, trailing to a near whisper.

Meanwhile, the restored Wu Ninglu's features flickered between turmoil and resolve, until she slammed her foot down, seemingly set on her choice.

Throughout, Li Fan's divine sense observed every bit and grew instantly curious.

"The Sun family's artifact? I've never known them to possess anything noteworthy."

The divine sense morphed into a filament and slipped into Wu Ninglu's sea of consciousness.

Though trained with robust barriers against divine sense probes, how could she withstand Li Fan's targeted incursion?

Soon enough, Li Fan uncovered the sought-after truth.

This shifted him from casual amusement to genuine focus.

"It's actually akin to the Kun-Qian Bone Hand, rumored to stem from an immortal artifact?"

"Now things are heating up."

The Sun family's hidden gem wielded the unparalleled force typical of mythic immortal artifacts.
