My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1057: Tianyang Immortal War Puppet

"Do you think I need to be reminded? Those youngsters were detained the moment they came back. We simply haven't extracted any results from the interrogation yet," Zhou remarked with an air of indifference.

...

Upon departing from Dharma-Transmitter Zhou's small world, Li Fan found himself standing at the boundary of Tianquan Prefecture.

He cast a brief look toward the distant Nether Prison before gradually pulling his eyes away.

"There will eventually be an opportunity to descend and investigate. There is no need to rush at this moment."

With that thought, he accelerated toward the Spiritwood Realm.

"Junior Brother, is there anyone trailing us?"

After traveling for some time, Li Fan suddenly projected the question within his mind.

A transparent layer of armor manifested instantly over his body, its sharp angles completely shielding Li Fan's form.

The voice of Tianyang echoed from within the armor: "Rest easy, Senior Brother. I have severed the two tracking divine senses. I even provided them with a minor warning."

Tianyang’s voice sounded far more vibrant than it had five years prior.

Every trace of the side effects from his transformation into a puppet had been eradicated, leaving him indistinguishable from a standard cultivator.

This evolution was entirely the result of the immortal-grade [War Puppet].

This war puppet—or more accurately, this war armor—served as the foundation of the confidence that permitted Li Fan to attend the gathering alone and confront two Dharma-Transmitters directly.

Li Fan had been deeply provoked after being deceived by Mo Rubin.

Consequently, he redirected that pressure onto the inhabitants of the Spiritwood Realm.

Not only did Master Qiaogong show remarkable skill by finishing the immortal-grade puppet in a mere five years, but the Medicine King Sect also achieved frequent breakthroughs, much to Li Fan's approval. However, those matters could be put aside for the time being.

Tianyang's power had undergone a revolutionary shift following his total transformation.

Even when Li Fan applied his maximum strength, he was unable to penetrate Tianyang's defenses in the slightest.

Neither the Five Elements Annihilation Sword nor his divine abilities, such as Extracting Threads and Cutting Life, could move Tianyang at all.

Even attacks of divine sense vanished like a clay ox entering the sea, failing to provoke even the smallest ripple.

Only the replicated Chaos Character Script managed to cause Tianyang any difficulty.

Yet, that was the extent of it.

Fueled by the Source Power Essence—a force that surpassed the mundane—Tianyang's current capability was certainly no weaker than a New Method Longevity Immortal of the Xuanhuang Realm.

His offensive techniques might be somewhat limited, but given this immortal-grade puppet physique, he could at most be restrained; he could not be destroyed.

With Tianyang, a being on par with a Longevity Immortal, serving as protective armor, there was no reason for Li Fan to be concerned about two mere Dharma-Transmitters.

Had he not discovered that Mo Rubin secretly governed the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, Li Fan’s original intent would have been to capture and enslave those two Dharma-Transmitters on the spot.

The security provided by Tianyang was absolute. It shielded not only the physical form, but any soul attack would have to demolish Tianyang’s soul will before it could ever reach Li Fan.

And how sturdy was Tianyang's will?

Even during the Foundation Establishment stage, it had endured for millennia as an eternal remnant will without fading. Now, having ascended into an immortal puppet, it had sublimated further, reaching a level that made even Li Fan feel inadequate.

In short, while encased in Tianyang’s armor, Li Fan experienced a sense of safety like never before.

Even if he were to encounter Mo Rubin this very second, he would remain fearless and filled with certainty.

Carried by Tianyang, Li Fan soon arrived back at the Spiritwood Realm.

Five years had passed, and the Spiritwood Realm had once again undergone a radical evolution.

The various small worlds linked to the Spiritwood Realm via spatial tunnels—such as the Beast Realm, the Empire, and the Great Li Realm—had begun a slow process of merging with the Spiritwood Realm.

Li Fan had mastered the technique of world fusion and devouring, drawing inspiration from how the Xuanhuang Realm spliced other cultivation realms using the False Misconversion of the heavenly dao.

However, achieving the same scale as the Xuanhuang Realm was still a strain for his current level of power.

He was forced to pursue a different strategy through the refinement of formations.

Viewed from a distance, the Spiritwood Realm currently looked like a bizarre monstrosity with numerous small worlds grafted onto its frame.

Li Fan was never one to care for aesthetics; as long as the results were functional, he was satisfied.

Furthermore, this was merely Li Fan's opening attempt. He believed that with practice, his ability to "fabricate" integrated worlds would only sharpen.

Beyond the physical alterations to the Spiritwood Realm, the Federation of All Worlds had been partitioned into several functional departments.

It was no longer a mere facade but possessed genuine structure and substance.

The [Alchemy] department was formed from the remnants of the Medicine King Sect.

The [Artifact Refining] department was overseen by Artisan Master Qiaogong and Fang Zaiji, along with many students.

The [Seeking the Hidden] department was managed by the clone Li Qing, utilizing elite deathsworn gathered from the small worlds as its primary strength.

Finally, the [Illuminate the Dao] department consisted largely of gifted young cultivators, including those from the Mountains and Rivers Pavilion.

...

The organization had taken shape, manifesting a wide array of phenomena.

Without bothering anyone, Li Fan headed straight for a massive, newly carved space adjacent to the underground chamber.

Surrounded by barriers of seven-colored divine light, this area was known only to him.

Li Fan had designated this nascent department as [World Destruction].

As the name suggested, future cultivators in this branch would be tasked with researching every possible method to annihilate the Xuanhuang Realm.

The concept was so terrifying that Li Fan had not yet disclosed its existence to the alliance cultivators, despite their unwavering loyalty.

"It seems I must seek out individuals who are just as extreme."

"The Xuanhuang Realm is vast; if I search diligently, I will surely find some."

With these thoughts, Li Fan examined the objects encased in seven-colored light clusters within the [World Destruction] area.

Most were gray molds developed over the last five years, kept ready for emergencies.

However, there were also fresh inventions.

Li Fan reached out, and a dim, sluggish cluster of seven-colored light drifted into his palm.

"The Heaven-Rending Arrow..."

"After utilizing the Method of False Misconversion of the heavenly dao and understanding the nature of the eerie power, I finally succeeded in replicating it."

The Heaven-Rending Arrow was the supreme weapon used by the Heaven-Suppressing Society in a previous life to fight against the Mysterious Net.

It utilized the destructive essence of the eerie to inflict localized damage upon the Mysterious Net.

In this era, where the Tianxuan Mirror had not yet replaced the heavens, the purpose of the Heaven-Rending Arrow was to spark massive eerie outbreaks, causing the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao to spiral out of control.

Li Fan did not generate the eerie power within the arrow himself.

Instead, he had traveled to regions suffering from eerie outbreaks to harvest it manually, sealing it within the seven-colored divine light.

Each arrow fired was one lost forever.

Nevertheless, considering the high frequency of eerie outbreaks in the Xuanhuang Realm today, there was no immediate concern regarding supply.

Aside from the Heaven-Rending Arrow, the other primary weapon within the [World Destruction] space was the Chaos Character Script.

It had been refined based on the experience of its detonation in the 115th reincarnation, incorporating design improvements from Master Qiaogong.

The Chaos Character Script was now etched inside a puppet's frame and possessed a rudimentary intelligence.

It could follow Li Fan's orders to travel to a specific site and detonate the Chaos Character Script at a predetermined time.

Even more impressively, the puppet featured a mechanism to distort causality.

This made it nearly impossible for anyone to use divination to identify the mastermind behind the destruction.
