My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1094: Wrathful Gaze Vengeance Formation

Dharma-Transmitter Zhou felt immense satisfaction watching Li Fan accept without hesitation: "Excellent, we'll rendezvous right here."

Immediately after, she forwarded the precise coordinates for the spot.

Once the transmission ended, Li Fan dove into his preparations.

The "cutting-edge technology" he'd referenced before wasn't fabricated at all. It stemmed from the Final Dissociation Disc's calculations throughout the previous year.

Since he'd fully grasped the two Immortal-grade grand arrays [Astral Mechanism, All Spirits Return to Number] and [Desolate Fall, Flowers Bloom in an Empty Room], then absorbed the nine fresh sub-discs to trigger its evolution, the Dissociation Disc's skill in breaking down formations had surged at a rate beyond imagination, strengthening relentlessly each day.

Every instant brought what felt like an infinite stream of fresh arrays being computed by it.

The Dissociation Disc mirrored the Derivative Law Jade in its drive to unravel every formation across existence!

Without any active control from its owner Li Fan, within a single year alone, it had built up a truly enormous repository of formation patterns.

By inputting a handful of parameters and conducting a simple query, Li Fan quickly located exactly what he needed.

A simulated Immortal-grade array called [Wrathful Gaze, Vengeance Must Be Repaid].

Its purpose shone through clearly in the title itself.

While active, the array would ceaselessly sweep for any entities nearby that harbored resentment toward it, tagging them for constant monitoring.

The reach spanned about the area of a single prefecture under the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Once targeted by the [Wrathful Gaze] array, staying within its boundaries meant inescapable pursuit.

The array possessed precision, allowing just one target per instance.

Li Fan ran a quick trial, discovering that the Wrathful Gaze's targeting mechanism far surpassed his present comprehension. It subtly neared the [Immortal] tier.

Yet Mo Rubin's actions from before had genuinely sparked wariness.

Thus, relying solely on the array wouldn't suffice!

Li Fan retrieved a petite jade vial.

Inside lay three pellets.

They darted wildly inside the container, following erratic paths that hinted at a hidden sacredness.

"Soul Separation Pill."

"Upon ingestion, to observers, the soul seems shattered and wildly disordered. Yet true command over the flesh persists. It proves highly effective against soul takeover. Mo Rubin's takeover method resembles Dharma-Transmitter Jiang's, matching my own shift."

"But against pure turmoil, how could takeover or interference even occur?"

A sharp chill flickered in Li Fan's gaze: "Even if it doesn't fully block it, this should at least slow his takeover substantially."

"Three pills form one complete dose. The Medicine King Sect's initial production yielded more than two hundred doses..."

...

With all arrangements complete, Li Fan led Tianyang to the designated site for their meeting.

He had naturally altered his usual look beforehand.

Dharma-Transmitter Zhou had arrived early and waited, accompanied by thirty-seven companions.

They split loosely into three groups, the biggest being a squad of black-robed cultivators showing blank expressions and grave attitudes.

Unlike any Li Fan had encountered prior, their gazes held absolute emptiness.

They resembled mindless puppets far more than actual cultivators, able only to execute assigned commands.

The other two groups included a pair of Dharma-Transmitters flanking Dharma-Transmitter Zhou.

The third group stood out oddly.

It lacked human form, standing no taller than a child of seven or eight.

Headless, its senses clustered tightly on its torso.

Covered in deep blackness from head to toe, it carried a mix of absurdity and menace.

"For this venture into the restricted zone, we require [You] Clan members to lead the way." Dharma-Transmitter Zhou eyed Tianyang, who lingered quietly behind Li Fan with shut eyes, then offered a small nod and addressed Li Fan.

"[You]?" Li Fan regarded the odd cluster with sharp curiosity.

"We can discuss as we move. Take these guidelines for inside."

With a gesture from Dharma-Transmitter Zhou, the [You] Clan formed a ring, clasped hands, and launched into a bizarre ritual dance.

It resembled a ceremony; their collective chants summoned a faint, hazy veil of seclusion that settled over them.

That was merely Li Fan's impression, at least.

In truth, neither sight nor spiritual sense detected any shift in the area.

"We'll head inside now."

Yet the subsequent moves by the rest validated Li Fan's instinct.

As the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance members soared above the [You] Clan, they plunged abruptly into shadow.

They disappeared without a trace in that instant.

The Alliance members filed in steadily, and Li Fan brought up the rear by soaring after them.

Light vanished utterly from the realm.

All around stretched pure, boundless night.

This differed subtly from the Darkest Star Sea beyond the Xuanhuang Realm.

The star sea's gloom evoked lifeless emptiness and immensity.

Here, though...

It pressed close, moist, and sinister, like hidden threats coiled in the black, poised to erupt and consume at any second.

The earlier entrants from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance appeared wholly gone.

Within this shadowy restricted zone, isolation gripped Li Fan as if he alone endured.

Instinct drove Li Fan to probe the sides with his spiritual sense, but it proved futile here.

Extending outward, it drowned in the infinite dark, sensing nothing more.

Li Fan next attempted to banish the gloom with radiance, yet that too collapsed.

Illumination simply couldn't endure in this forbidden domain.

Suddenly, without prelude, a palm settled firmly on Li Fan's shoulder.

Hairs rose across his skin, and Li Fan readied an instant strike.

But the touch allowed spiritual senses to link between them.

Only then did Li Fan "catch" the sender's message.

He revealed his identity first.

Dharma-Transmitter Yan.

Then he clarified for Li Fan: "Within this shadowy forbidden zone, spiritual sense and voices fail entirely. Connection demands physical touch, much like the [You] Clan's method, to exchange words."

"We came in as one without scattering. All should remain close; let's gather up first."

Li Fan gave a faint nod.

This shadowy forbidden zone truly brimmed with strangeness. Even his bond with Tianyang had snapped.

Luckily, Tianyang hadn't strayed far, so reestablishing contact took little trouble.

At Li Fan's silent command, Tianyang shifted unseen into Immortal Puppet Battle Armor and merged onto him.

"The Wrathful Gaze Formation weakens dramatically here as well. Its detection span likely shrinks to merely three zhang nearby?"

Shock rippled through Li Fan's thoughts.

After all, this neared a True Immortal-grade Formation in power.

"Never imagined the Xuanhuang Realm hid such a deadly spot. Why would Mo Rubin venture inside?"

Following the [You] Clan's earlier hand-linking to link up before entry.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance members and Li Fan mirrored the tactic to reassemble.

Upon tallying heads and noting three absences, no search party launched.

They promptly declared a death warrant on the trio instead.

Meanwhile, the company pressed onward into the heart of the shadows.
