My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1132: The Creation Cauldron Furnace Changes

Out of the ninety Sky-Patrolling Arrows, just half served as genuine deadly projectiles.

The remaining ones were nothing more than deceptive illusions created by arrays, flashy yet empty.

Yet the treefolk inhabitants of the Spiritwood Realm had been utterly shaken by the devastating might shown by that single prior Sky-Patrolling Arrow, rendering them completely incapable of telling truth from deception.

The enormous central tree stood in deep connection with the entire Spiritwood Realm.

Its thriving meant the realm's glory; its ruin spelled the realm's doom.

That huge hollow gouged into the giant tree's trunk stripped the treefolk of the Spiritwood Realm of any will to fight back.

The female treefolk leader guided her whole tribe in a shameful prostration before the Great Xuan Imperial Army, vowing their allegiance.

Following that, Sun Erlang carried out the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor's directives, etching numerous layers of formations onto the Heart of the Giant Tree.

He remained unaware of the purpose of this array, yet obeying commands formed the holy obligation of the Great Xuan Imperial Army.

Besides, he needed to stay alert for any retaliation from the treefolk tribe.

Luckily, the intimidating force of the Sky-Patrolling Arrow proved far too dominant, and ultimately, the treefolk tribe refrained from risking a all-out desperate battle.

Upon finishing the formation, a dazzling emerald radiance burst forth from the Heart of the Giant Tree.

The spirit tree's injury started mending gradually, while a silhouette materialized within the shining light.

"The spirit of the giant tree..." Sun Erlang whispered in contemplation.

True to his expectations, once the giant tree's spirit manifested, it refused to align with the treefolk.

Rather, it sent a communication to Sun Erlang: "Are you Senior Brother Sun? Teacher instructed you to station half the Imperial Army here to help build the formation."

"Oh, and I'm Lin Ling."

Lin Ling shared a clip of footage, and recognizing the well-known voice of the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor in the display, Sun Erlang gave a small nod.

Without suffering a single casualty among soldiers or officers, using just one Sky-Patrolling Arrow, Sun Erlang had triumphantly seized the Spiritwood Realm. Still, Sun Erlang understood perfectly that this victory owed nothing to the Great Xuan Imperial Army's fighting skills. It stemmed entirely from the Sky-Patrolling Arrow's horrifying might, able to shatter the heavens and wipe out entire realms.

Sun Erlang gave a faint shake of his head, pushing away the irritation in his chest. He directed the leftover forces onward to the next targeted minor world.

"Great Li? Hmph..." A spark of murderous resolve flickered in Sun Erlang's gaze.

...

Once the Great Xuan Imperial Army had left, Lin Ling took charge of the treefolk tribe using the array instructions from Li Fan.

Towards these treefolks, Lin Ling harbored scant affection.

In contrast, Li Fan—who had preached the Dao, shared techniques with her, and cleared her confusions right at her awakening—remained the individual Lin Ling felt most bonded to in this existence.

"The Heaven and Earth All Spirits Great Formation?"

"Once finished, it will create a pathway to Teacher's dwelling world. It will also boost the spiritual energy level throughout the Spiritwood Realm, letting the world evolve upward."

"Start by setting up the base formation. The other essential components will arrive via the Great Xuan Imperial Army soon."

Reflecting on the array's details passed down by Li Fan, and remembering the vow that she could stand before the Great Xuan solely after completing the Heaven and Earth All Spirits Great Formation, Lin Ling brimmed with drive. She pressed the lethargic treefolk to move faster again.

...

Great Xuan.

Detecting the faintly unclear visions coming from the Spiritwood Realm, Li Fan gave himself an approving nod.

Even though in this lifetime, he intended to trigger events in the Dark Realm, drawing on the shadowy forces to dull the Faceless True Immortal's awareness.

Still, Li Fan couldn't foresee the exact degree of this diminishment.

Thus, the [Heaven and Earth Myriad Spiritual, All Beings Refine the Spirits] grand formation became essential to erect as well, serving as a safeguard against surprises.

If describing the initial sight of countless billions of lives ending together, where Li Fan's thoughts held some ripples.

By the second viewing, and all subsequent ones...

Li Fan experienced zero mental burden whatsoever.

He steadied his focus and turned his gaze to this life's supposed second disciple standing nearby.

Wang Xuanba.

Differing from Sun Erlang's guidance, Li Fan withheld the new law cultivation technique from him.

Instead, he passed on the [Creation Furnace Technique] that he had developed personally.

This iteration differed vastly from the early rough version, which had simply forced open the body's secret stores and brutally boosted the flesh.

In the prior life, after Heavenly Doctor's counsel and seamlessly blending the [Heavenly Doctor Immortal Scripture] with the Mending Heaven Record, Li Fan acquired fresh insights into awakening the body's hidden strengths.

Nevertheless, applying concepts in reality demanded testing.

Wang Xuanba's unique build made him an ideal test case.

“Xuanhuang heaven and earth, right before total collapse, unleashed countless amazing shifts.”

“Humans ought to mirror that.”

“Under usual conditions, the human form stays balanced. It taps into its own reserves only during assaults from outside forces or when confronting deadly threats.”

Seated across from Li Fan was the seventeen-year-old Wang Xuanba, eyes shut in deep rest.

His stature soared close to three zhang tall, every inch packed with rippling muscles, and his skin layered with golden, scale-like hardening.

Though human outlines lingered faintly, a quick look evoked an image of a primal savage creature.

“I've already grafted tissues from eighteen varieties of strange beasts, with just seven successfully merging and integrating into him. The others sparked intense repulsions; without my timely rescue, he might have died from lineage depletion already.”

“That said, with his frame growing ever more robust, another trial might succeed now.”

Harboring this thought, Li Fan infused a lump of mutated flesh from the Heavenly Silk Fox beast into Wang Xuanba's form.

A heavy focus on raw power enhancement appeared to have disrupted the even growth of Wang Xuanba's body, pushing it toward breakdown. It craved bolstering in speed and nimbleness.

Li Fan burned with curiosity to uncover the true boundary of human bodily limits.

...

Great Li Realm.

Subduing Great Li turned out even simpler than taking the Spiritwood Realm.

No Sky-Patrolling Arrows got deployed; the mere view of the Great Xuan Imperial Army soaring overhead made the capital's emperor and his assembled officials drop to their knees.

Guided by the rule permitting just one sovereign—the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor—Sun Erlang coldly put the Great Li emperor to death.

He chose Prince Zhennan, Xiao Tianyou, to act as the stand-in sovereign.

As Holy Emperor Bases sprouted throughout Great Li, the populace quickly embraced the abrupt shift in rule.

Along with the reality of the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor's presence.

Great Li slowly shifted into a spiritual energy minor world as well.

Anchor Year 8.

“85%.”

“It's actually progressing a touch slower than earlier.”

“Could my present bodily condition be the cause?”

Li Fan stared at the figure on the panel, sinking into contemplation.

Across three years, with the Spiritwood Realm, Beast Realm, Great Li Realm, and various other minor worlds absorbed into Great Xuan's domain, his [Heavenly Emperor Qi Classic] had advanced smoothly to the third layer.

The Great Xuan national fortune shone like the sun at sunrise, radiating intense crimson glow and pulsing life force.

Meanwhile, the tangible battle strength he could wield matched the initial Soul Transformation phase in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Yet Li Fan had detected the roadblock in the Heavenly Emperor Qi Classic.

To push onward to the fourth layer, the Purple Qi Realm.

At this pace of expansion, it might demand several decades more.
