My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1058: Mutated Spiritual Energy

Drawing from previous trials, Li Fan knew that triggering the Chaos Character Script within the Xuanhuang Realm would inevitably alert the Immortal Ancestor, pulling him back from the depths of the void.

With the Immortal Ancestor himself acting as a deterrent over the Xuanhuang Realm, very little chaos could truly take root.

Because all sorts of monsters and malevolent entities were forced to hide from his presence, Li Fan generally avoided utilizing such a method.

Within this prismatic seven-colored space, a third world-ending strategy existed alongside the two previously mentioned, and it was significantly more developed.

This plan involved launching specialized, reinforced small flying projectiles toward the Immortal Ruins.

Created using the principles of the Tianyang Body's puppet transformation, these flying bodies functioned like living organisms.

While one portion was dispatched toward the Immortal Ruins to draw the gaze of the immortals residing there, the other half remained stationed within the Xuanhuang Realm.

The moment they breached the Immortal Ruins, they would act as a voyeuristic link, alerting the immortals within that ancient place.

Those immortals would then follow the connection established by these flying bodies, piercing through the void to fixate their gaze upon the Xuanhuang Realm.

This would result in the total annihilation of the world with a mere glance.

It was a catastrophe identical to the one Li Fan had triggered by accident in the past.

Aside from these three methods, all other projects remained in the development phase. While they were theoretically sound, they had yet to undergo actual testing.

One such concept involved the [Root of Heaven and Earth] within Tianling Prefecture. By severing the myriad lines representing the laws of the Xuanhuang Realm, the very foundation of the world would be destroyed, leading to its natural decay and eventual collapse.

Another theory involved the mass production of artifacts imbued with the [False Misconversion of Heavenly Dao] divine ability. Spreading these throughout the Xuanhuang Realm would surely throw the natural order of heaven and earth into disarray. Saturated with flawed Heavenly Dao directives, these artifacts might even override the essential mechanisms required for the world to function, sparking global upheaval. Following this, the Xuanhuang Realm would likely attempt to self-adjust, potentially triggering a disaster as severe as the [Incompatible Cultivation] era.

...

Retaining the origin of the Tianxuan Mirror and possessing the highest level of clearance, Li Fan was able to freely explore the restricted archives of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The various catastrophes that had struck the Xuanhuang lands throughout history had been wiped from public memory by the divine might of the Carefree Heavenly Sovereign. Li Fan was the only one who had recovered these records, treating them as invaluable treasures.

The diverse methods found within the [World Destruction] space were now the primary tools Li Fan possessed to challenge entities at the Longevity Immortal realm or those even more powerful.

As the last remaining sanctuary in the dark sea of stars, the continued existence of the Xuanhuang Realm was the fundamental requirement for any cultivator's survival.

By mastering the means to destroy this world, Li Fan held the ultimate leverage to negotiate with anyone residing within the Xuanhuang Realm.

This power was not merely useful for his current life; as long as Li Fan remained within the Xuanhuang Realm, this location would remain vital to his interests.

Therefore, Li Fan simply manifested a Holy Embryo and used the Faceless True Immortal stone statue to grant it power, forcibly pushing it into the Golden Core realm. This level of power was enough to maintain the ongoing research within the [World Destruction] space.

After meticulously strengthening the seven-colored divine light seal protecting the area, Li Fan departed in silence.

His next destination was the small world of the empire.

The fusion with the Spiritwood Realm had caused subtle shifts in the world's environment. Many of the empire's exotic creatures, unable to cope with the sudden transformation of heaven and earth, had perished in large numbers.

The survivors had remained in a lethargic state, taking nearly three years to finally regain their vitality.

In the center of the empire, where the old Imperial castle once stood, a large dome-shaped structure had been erected.

This served as the primary experimental facility for the Federation of All Worlds within the empire.

The [Dao One Insect], which had the ability to synthesize Qi, had gone through three generations of refinement, resulting in an efficiency that had nearly doubled.

Furthermore, the risk of mutations causing a failure in the Heaven and Earth Furnace had been significantly minimized.

Currently, a single Heaven and Earth Furnace could provide a stable and continuous flow of Qi for a century.

This essentially satisfied the requirements of the Federation of All Worlds.

After five years, the total Qi concentration in the merged Spiritwood Realm was no longer inferior to that of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Naturally, this was partly because the Xuanhuang Realm was simply so vast.

The primary focus of Xiao Qing, Xiao Hong, and the others in the empire had transitioned to managing the integration of the empire's sub-worlds with the Spiritwood Realm.

Meanwhile, the imperial daughter had been given a different assignment by Li Fan.

Inside the domed laboratory, the imperial daughter was focused intensely on the swarm of Dao One Insects before her, which appeared like a thick black fog in the air.

She was so preoccupied that she failed to notice Li Fan's arrival.

Li Fan took a moment to review the experimental logs.

“Ancestral Dao-One Insect Variant, Trial Seventy-Six.”

“By integrating with the fission fungus, the lifespan of this variant is drastically reduced, yet its reproductive speed has surged by over a hundred times.”

“Calculations suggest that with enough resources, a single Dao One Insect can multiply into a population of billions within just seven days.”

“Critical Observation: The Qi generated by this specific Dao One Insect can be utilized by cultivators without immediate side effects. However, if this Qi makes up more than half of a cultivator's total Dantian reserves, it begins to influence their temperament. The subject becomes notably more aggressive and irritable.”

“Even more concerning is the development of a dependency on this mutated Qi. Cultivators begin to perceive standard Qi as being insufficiently 'refined'.”

...

Reading through the detailed notes provided by the imperial daughter, Li Fan nodded with approval.

The imperial bloodline was indeed a product of Xu Ke's Holy Embryo blood transformation, and the imperial daughter had inherited Xu Ke's brilliance perfectly.

Over the last five years, many of the research projects she oversaw had reached significant milestones.

The study of Dao One Insect variants was particularly successful.

The Qi produced by these insects could be altered in numerous ways. This new variant that induced irritability was just one example. Earlier tests had produced Qi that made cultivators lethargic and unmotivated, or Qi so concentrated it caused a "drunken" state upon absorption. If used excessively, it could even cause permanent mental trauma.

The potential variations were endless.

While these mutated forms of Qi weren't enough to destroy the Xuanhuang Realm, they could effectively manipulate the behavior of cultivators.

By using them, Li Fan could ensure that all cultivators in a specific region developed identical personality traits.

Li Fan found this particular avenue of research quite intriguing.

After storing the data for this new variant and over a hundred insect samples within his Cave-Heaven, Li Fan spoke to the imperial daughter, pulling her away from her work.

“Greetings, superior emissary!” A hint of nervousness appeared in her eyes as she quickly bowed her head in respect.

“What is the status of the search for the Holy Emperor?” Li Fan questioned.

“We have eliminated half of the potential small worlds. Thus far, the Holy Emperor remains missing. I estimate that within five more years, we will have searched all remaining locations and identified his exact hiding spot,” the imperial daughter replied earnestly.
