My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1130: Inferior Version of the Sky-Patrolling Arrow

Every accomplishment in research from the empire gets its backups preserved right here.

Through the immense repository, Li Fan wandered until he reached the far end where the Myriad Beast Furnace stood, only then did he pivot back.

From his storage, he retrieved an item and presented it to the pair.

A simple disc no larger than a palm, but the effortless aura of dominance it released made Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong shudder uncontrollably; an overwhelming impulse to bow down surged within them.

"This is?"

They battled against their innate urges and fixed their eyes on the disc held by Li Fan, shock etching across their features: "The Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel?"

Their very existences hanging by a thread under the other's whim—this feeling instantly evoked memories of that fabled ultimate artifact of the demon beast lineage.

Yet, even after scrutinizing the disc closely for quite some time, a discrepancy became evident to them.

Drawing from their demonic beast heritage, the ancestral recollections in their bloodlines held details about the Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel. However, what lay in Li Fan's grasp clearly differed from those visions.

The authentic Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel possessed a far more archaic and enigmatic presence. The item they faced now...

It certainly exerted a measure of dominance over them. Yet, with full resistance, escape might prove possible. It paled greatly compared to the absolute dominion over fate described in legends.

"A copy?"

The same suspicion flashed through Qing and Hong's thoughts as they gazed at Li Fan, stunned and wary.

"Spot on. This is the duplicate fashioned by the Federation Elders, drawing from the data on the Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel that you supplied before."

"Beyond subduing the Ten Thousand Beasts, it serves yet another role, which happens to be the primary reason for my trip here today."

Li Fan let out a sudden breath: "Though the Spiritwood Realm's downfall spared most lives, our flight was so abrupt that numerous vital resources and studies couldn't be salvaged promptly. Thus, upon careful deliberation, the Elders opted to launch the cross-world archive initiative, duplicating and safeguarding all worthwhile elements from various minor realms..."

Li Fan's words weren't even complete when Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong's faces shifted dramatically.

Undeterred, Li Fan pressed on steadily: "This move benefits you too. Your empire's defenses are simply too frail; even a lone Dao Integration expert from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance could wipe you out entirely."

"By planting a legacy seed in the Federation of All Worlds, any calamity can be met with rapid revival."

Li Fan toyed with the disc between his fingers while eyeing the myriad preserved strange beasts in the empire's vault: "Your true treasure lies in these diverse strange creatures you've cultivated across the years. I know multiples of each exist in reserve; I'm claiming just one set."

Finishing his statement, heedless of Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong's responses, a ray of brilliance erupted from the disc, scanning across the encased strange beasts. Every one touched by the light disappeared instantly from sight.

Upon the disc in Li Fan's grip, subtle images of those strange beasts began to form.

It seemed the preserved strange beasts had been drawn inside for safekeeping. In truth, the disc's radiance had already broken them down completely, while capturing data on their forms, lineages, organs, and more into its core.

"Every demon beast across the lands traces back to the primordial source. The empire's strange beasts all stem from ancient demon beasts, selectively bred and adapted. As the proverb states, transformations never stray from origins; with this knowledge secured, any strange beast can be summoned from nothing."

As more strange beast records accumulated, the disc's spectral figures multiplied. Not just did its emitted presence grow grander and mightier, but the disc itself transformed accordingly.

It started resembling the genuine Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel from Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong's inherited visions more and more.

Throughout gathering these strange beast archives, Li Fan couldn't help but admire nature's ingenuity.

Beyond those strange beasts bred with intent, most in the empire arose from random occurrences. Blended lineages twisted and varied, spawning novel breeds that branched into diverse progeny.

Seemingly boundless.

"Boundless potential." Abruptly, Li Fan recalled the Emperor Yi Beast's utterance from the Fallen Immortal Realm.

As Li Fan moved to, per habit, intake the data from another encased strange beast, he halted abruptly. For this one carried a recognizable energy.

"Sky-Patrolling Arrow..."

Noticing Li Fan's pause and his attention drawn there, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong caught on right away.

They quickly clarified: "This strange beast forms the heart of the arrow the esteemed emissary tasked us to study earlier. We called it the Sky-Patrolling Beast. In the Beast Taming Sect days, we'd encountered akin demonic creatures, though none matched this one's ferocity or speed. It also showed heightened independence, making control tricky. Our bred descendants still lag behind the original the esteemed emissary provided. Hence, no update has been sent."

After a full inspection, Li Fan located related variants of the Sky-Patrolling Beast close by.

"The nucleus lacks potency, but an array can make up for it. Though it won't rival the full might of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's true Sky-Patrolling Arrow, half that strength would prove immensely useful." Thinking so, Li Fan drew the data from all these Sky-Patrolling Beasts into the disc.

...

Snapping back to now.

That disc, encapsulating the empire's research legacy, was none other than the [Ten Thousand Beast Condensation Crystal].

Leveraging the Heavenly Mechanism Realm's crafting prowess, alongside the precise insights on the Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel from Xu Ke, producing a facsimile posed no real challenge.

"Manifesting strange beast forms via the Ten Thousand Beast Condensation Crystal demands vast spiritual energy. At my late Foundation Establishment stage, sustaining it lies beyond me. Yet, once Sun Erlang returns steering the Taiyan Boat from the Xuanhuang Realm, all will be set. Pairing the Dao One Insect with the Sky-Patrolling Beast, Great Xuan gains the means to claim other minor worlds."

Accessing the Dark Realm required the You Clan to perform a unique ceremony.

Don't assume Li Fan's prior life dominance over the You Clan came easy; it stemmed from his Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven, pushing his battle prowess past typical Dao Integration levels.

This lifetime, tangled in the True Immortal's snare, Li Fan couldn't freely boost his cultivation. Depending only on Great Xuan Realm forces, the You Clan proved far from simple foes.

Hence, bolstering Great Xuan's military and populace strength was essential, as was advancing Li Fan's personal [Heavenly Emperor Qi Classic] further.

Perched upon the [Saint Emperor Seat], Li Fan pondered ideal realms for invasion.

A month passed, and Sun Erlang returned triumphantly with the Taiyan Boat.

This signified Great Xuan's initial stride toward becoming a spirit energy domain.

With the inaugural Heaven and Earth Furnace forged successfully, spirit energy started spreading across Xuan Capital City's limits.

The Great Xuan Imperial Army first detected spirit energy's presence.

In a single night, the hundred-plus guards carrying the [Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra] all managed to intake Qi, thus embarking on the cultivation journey.

And standout among them, Sun Erlang, harnessed the [Sitting Immortal Art]'s power to surge straight to Qi Refining peak in one leap.
