My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1164: Overturning Heaven and Earth with One Hand

Daoist Hundred Flowers averted her gaze, her body shaking as she refrained from replying.

After a prolonged wait, Li Ping noticed no shift in Hundred Flowers' resolve. With a soft sigh, he recalled the three True Immortal seal characters hovering nearby.

“Alright then, if Fellow Daoist refuses, I won’t compel you.”

“Not everyone possesses the boldness to delve into True Immortal might like this, after all…”

“As for moving the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven, does Fellow Daoist face any obstacles?” Li Ping steered back to the core matter and inquired.

As the oppressive waves of might surrounding her faded away, Daoist Hundred Flowers managed a momentary reprieve from her terror.

Holy Emperor Li Ping’s questioning tone had shifted in a subtle manner from earlier. Hundred Flowers understood that another denial would provoke this lunatic for real. Therefore, she reluctantly consented.

“Fellow Daoist, depart without delay. Oh, and since the target area is unknown ground, for caution’s sake, I’ll dispatch one of my disciples to go with you.” Li Ping remarked offhandedly.

Upon beholding the “disciple” Li Ping mentioned, Daoist Hundred Flowers couldn’t suppress a numbing sensation on her scalp and another shiver running through her frame.

“This is…”

Despite Hundred Flowers’ extensive background, including firsthand views of numerous realms’ annihilation, she struggled to comprehend this sight right now: a form that looked exactly like a regular person’s exterior, but filled inside with countless squirming unknown minuscule bugs. Every bug operated as a separate entity with its distinct mind, while collectively they shaped a “human” entity.

The numbness on Daoist Hundred Flowers’ scalp stemmed not from fear of the infinite, hideous bugs. Rather, it arose from a natural physical response.

These bugs appeared to hold an innate counter to forms made solely of energy.

Though she stood in the Longevity Immortal Realm and kept a safe distance from these bugs, Hundred Flowers experienced a sharp rush of agitation and discomfort inside her. It persistently alerted her, compelling her to keep distant from this bug-human.

“You may refer to him as [Dao One].” Li Ping replied without direct relevance.

“Rest assured: while Dao One’s power falls a bit short, he commands several unique skills. With his help, Fellow Daoist ought to handle the transfer of the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven with greater ease.”

Faced with this, Daoist Hundred Flowers forced herself to give a faint nod. Guided by Dao One, she proceeded directly to Tianling Prefecture.

Li Ping observed the pair vanishing into the distance, yet no satisfaction filled his heart from bending a Longevity Immortal Realm powerhouse through mere conversation.

“My personal might remains too weak. I must depend on artifacts to cow others. Were I to command the Source Power Essence, such hassles would be unnecessary.”

Dao One represented a unique strain of the Dao One Insects stored in the Ten Thousand Beasts Condensation Crystal.

Regardless of how vastly the swarm multiplied, it preserved a singular shared consciousness. Even more vital, these Dao One Insects went beyond just generating spiritual energy.

They could infest spiritual energy, multiply via it, and slowly evolve into beings resembling spiritual energy.

Given ample outer conditions for growth, [Dao One] required merely roughly one year to turn a whole minor world’s spiritual energy into “itself.”

The whole operation occurred in complete quiet, without impacting the diverse beings dependent on spiritual energy for life.

Not even frail cultivators could perceive it.

Merely Nascent Soul Realm practitioners, who had built their inner Cave-Heaven, might detect this altered spiritual energy.

Li Fan sent the [Dao One], grown from a fragment of his own awareness, to the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven specifically to allow its evolution in that place.

By drawing on the immense volume of spiritual energy there, it would generate a huge quantity of altered spiritual energy potent enough to unsettle the whole Xuanhuang Realm.

In typical scenarios, Dao One couldn’t thrive within the Xuanhuang Realm.

Should the spiritual energy alteration surpass a specific threshold, it would surely rouse the cultivators and get relayed to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

Though dealing with it might prove somewhat challenging, wiping out these bugs posed no real hurdle for the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

Nevertheless, from detection to containment, some interval for response was essential.

Backed by a vast enough base of numbers, it could fully supplant the Xuanhuang Realm’s spiritual energy prior to any cultivator reaction.

This root-striking tactic formed one of Li Fan’s lethal plans for striking back against the Xuanhuang Realm.

Once the spiritual energy achieved sentience and learned to separate allies from enemies.

The edge that cultivators from the Federation of All Worlds would enjoy over those of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance in conflicts would probably exceed mere slightness.

“Dare to make the sun and moon change to a new sky.”

“The aura of this Xuanhuang Realm has grown overly rotten; it’s time to deliver them a severe wake-up call.”

As Li Fan’s duplicate, Holy Emperor Li Ping found his recollections of [Truth] removed.

In his own view, he emerged as a mind spawned from the Xuanhuang Realm’s frantic bid for self-rescue during the apocalyptic peril, an outcome of chance and destiny.

The famed fated Holy Man.

He grasped nearly every profound mystery of the Xuanhuang Realm with clarity.

He had even glimpsed innumerable potential dooms for himself.

And his supreme aim lay in reshaping the skies and the lands, freeing the Xuanhuang Realm from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s tyrannical control.

Holy Emperor Li Ping was convinced that reaching this objective lay not too distant.

...

The championship round of the inaugural Great Qi Fishing Competition kicked off formally.

Altogether ten top performers would showcase their angling prowess directly to the Holy Emperor.

At first, every one of the Holy Emperor’s three pupils joined the contest, yet ultimately, just the straightforward Wang Xuanba reached the finals.

This clearly reinforced the competition’s impartiality yet again.

Moving via a round portal of light, following a spell of vertigo, the ten competitors reached a seemingly plain garden.

The mighty Faceless Holy Emperor perched beside a modest pool nearby, with eyes shut in serene angling.

The majority of the ten had never beheld the Holy appearance prior. Unwilling to interrupt, they bowed their heads in nervous expectation.

Following an extended period, the Holy Emperor suddenly pulled in his line.

To the group’s mild astonishment, no fish emerged from the water.

Instead, a pale sphere of light surfaced.

Easily tucking away the light sphere, the Holy Emperor faced the ten skilled fishers and outlined the contest guidelines.

“I’ve hidden innumerable valuables in this pool.”

“Each gets one cast, one attempt.”

“The superior the item hauled up, the higher the rating.”

...

These declarations stirred waves of thrill in the audience’s chests.

For the Holy Emperor had vowed that irrespective of position, the caught items would stay theirs!

In the midst of the group’s fervent waiting, Wang Xuanba, being the Holy Emperor’s student, went first.

Wang Xuanba had no prior visit to this angling pool.

He lingered in a stupor for quite a while before drawing back.

Ultimately, his grip contained absolutely nothing.

A barren catch!

This plunged Wang Xuanba into profound disappointment.

However, witnessing this, the rest felt profoundly stirred. They comprehended that the Holy Emperor’s angling trial was nowhere near as straightforward as routine fishing. Gradually, each became alert and concentrated.

While they successively neared the angling pool, ultimately, one violet, three azure, and five pale light spheres emerged from its depths.
