My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1170: The Linked Transformation Ships of All Realms

The subtle purple hue covering his form began to condense, and with a gesture from Li Ping, it morphed into bolts of lightning that crashed violently against the horde of insectified monstrous beasts.

Explosive booms echoed relentlessly through the emptiness. The emergence of these transformed beasts couldn't keep pace with the swift annihilation Li Ping unleashed upon them.

Now with his hands unoccupied, the Heaven's Mandate Holy Emperor clenched his fist and drove it forcefully into the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven.

Strike after strike!

Despite its basic nature, each blow infused threads of purple qi directly into the Cave-Heaven.

Gradually, the savage energy of the insectified Five Elements Cave-Heaven was brought under control.

The primordial Dao One insects dispatched to corrupt the Cave-Heaven carried a fragment of Li Ping's own consciousness.

In essence, this vast swarm of altered Dao One insects represented his progeny.

By momentarily quelling the instinctual insect consciousness, Li Ping seized command of the transformed Cave-Heaven via this bond.

The defiant Five Elements Cave-Heaven gradually settled into obedience.

The once ferocious black monstrous beasts, eager to tear Li Ping apart, now approached him submissively, seeking his approval with fawning gestures.

Retaining his towering purple giant physique, Li Ping attuned himself to the profoundly altered Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven.

Having endured insect transformation and subsequent taming, this Cave-Heaven now felt like an extension of his very being.

He possessed intimate knowledge of every detail inside the Cave-Heaven.

Moreover, he could direct the insectified Cave-Heaven to shift and strike at will!

“World insectification…”

As he adjusted to this novel extension of himself, Li Ping pondered deeply.

“If typical Cave-Heavens and minor worlds resemble inert entities like flora, then insectification grants them predatory traits similar to savage creatures.”

“This boosts their hostility immensely, allowing them to hunt autonomously.”

“Yet, not without drawbacks…”

Li Ping's brow furrowed faintly: “Insect transformation has drastically curtailed the lifespan of the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven.”

“It might endure fewer than a thousand years before succumbing to decay.”

The natural order imposes inherent limits on existence between heaven and earth.

Spanning hundreds of millions of years, they appear nearly timeless beside mortal lives.

However, insectification compressed that duration immeasurably.

“The cons eclipse the pros.”

“Viable once, but not repeatedly.”

Li Ping, embracing his destiny as heaven's chosen, arrived at this conclusion.

Nevertheless, Li Fan’s primary incarnation sensed a spark of inspiration and envisioned an alternative path.

In his 119th life, the Heavenly Doctor had once enlightened Li Fan—posing as Tian Jue's heir—that upon attaining Dao Integration, cultivation methods lose their paramount significance.

The vital pursuit lay in grasping the world's core truths and the mechanisms of the Heavenly Dao.

But absent the extraordinary gifts of Mr. Bai or a Dharma-Transmitter, how might an average talent unravel such arcane principles of the great dao?

Though Li Fan could cycle through rebirths, gleaning insights from Xuanhuang Realm prodigies and myriad fortunes, it paled against direct, personal enlightenment.

Realizing worlds could undergo insectification sparked a fresh avenue for Li Fan.

“I perceive that following the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven's insectification, my overriding awareness inside mirrors my prior dominion over the Spiritwood Realm—my form embodying the Heavenly Dao…”

“What could surpass the ease of understanding oneself through direct embodiment?”

“Even if insectification introduces minor distortions to the world's laws, it remains a valuable benchmark. Coupled with [Truth], endless restarts afford ample chances for refinement.”

“Splendid.”

His core self mulled these notions while methodically charting ahead.

The viewpoint shifted back to Holy Emperor Li Ping.

Having fully mastered the insectified Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven, Li Ping gazed upon the colossal entity below and sank into contemplation.

The initial scheme involved harnessing this Cave-Heaven to cultivate aberrant spiritual energy, then unleashing it during the clash with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to reshape the battlefield and surprise the foe.

Yet now, the transformed Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven hinted at far more potent applications.

At Li Ping's mental command, beyond the Cave-Heaven's boundaries, the mutated spiritual energy sprouted nine robust black tendrils anew. These reached out toward the Great Qi small world.

Beside the immense Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven, the Great Qi small world resembled a mere insect beneath a colossus.

Guided intentionally by Li Ping, the Heaven and Earth Myriad Spirits Great Formation alongside the Holy Dynasty's fortune lowered their barriers, permitting the nine tendrils to embed deeply into the small world.

Subsequently, they coiled around its exterior multiple times.

“Activate!”

The fortune-forged giant of the Holy Dynasty perched upon the insectified Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven and issued a commanding roar.

The Cave-Heaven shuddered with a deep rumble, awakening as if endowed with life, and began drifting into the void's abyss, distancing from the Xuanhuang Realm.

The nine tendrils functioned as sturdy chains, binding the Great Qi small world, propelling them forward in unison.

“Drawing from the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven's scale, its void traversal remains somewhat sluggish. Still, to cultivators, the pace feels remarkably swift—surpassing even a Soul Transformation expert at maximum velocity.”

Li Ping monitored their growing separation from the Xuanhuang Realm and gave a subtle nod of approval.
