My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1138: Heat Death Ice-Seal Transformation
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
Becoming Sun Ang and slipping into the Guardian Hall's central base, the real aim wasn't the Derivative Law Jade after all.
Truly, it served the goal of concealment.
Based on the details collected up to now, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance oversaw the cultivators protecting the Derivative Law Jade with utmost severity.
Not just spotless histories were required, but they were mostly picked from lineages that had served the Guardian Hall for generations.
Prior to entry, they faced intense examinations.
Furthermore, the crucial aspect lay in the fact that, once selected to safeguard the Derivative Law Jade, they were barred from leaving the Guardian Hall headquarters for three full centuries.
During their watch, they essentially turned into captives themselves.
Thus, within the hereditary clans of the Guardian Hall, scarcely anyone volunteered for this exhausting duty.
Even with rewards as lavish as they came.
After all, upon attaining Dao Integration Immortal Sage, genuine eternal life remained out of reach.What drove them was merely authority and pleasures.
Enduring confinement for three hundred years wasn't a fate all could bear.
Yet these unique restrictions perfectly shaped Li Fan's perfect sanctuary.
The Guardian Hall headquarters sat right within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's core.
The area housing the Derivative Law Jade featured even denser arrays of formations and barriers.
It could very well include defenses against an Immortal Ancestor.
For Li Fan in his present state, absolute assurance of breaking in and out remained elusive.
By assuming a new identity and nesting inside.
As chaos engulfed the outer realms, nobody would suspect the mastermind of it all had concealed himself in this pivotal heart of the Immortal Alliance centuries prior.
"In truth, the Derivative Law Jade offers me scant benefit these days."
"To push onward, only an Immortal technique that aligns flawlessly would suffice. Anything less demands my personal grasp of the Dao and the world's laws."
"The standard methods produced by the Derivative Law Jade..."
Li Fan shook his head faintly.
Ultimately, it was just the Wonder of the Xuanhuang Heaven. From Li Fan's elevated vantage now, to rival the Heavenly Doctor, the Immortal Ancestor, or even a True Immortal, the Derivative Law Jade's aid proved woefully minimal.
Having cycled through countless reincarnations, Li Fan had delved into timeless enigmas of past and present.
After securing the Tianxuan Mirror's essence, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's hidden truths unfolded before him.
Guided by the Heavenly Doctor's legacy...
Li Fan's current wisdom and stature placed him at the pinnacle across the entire Xuanhuang Realm.
For instance, the Mysterious True Spirit Transformation, as initially crafted by the Derivative Law Jade, only reached up to the Nascent Soul True Lord stage.
Yet, as Li Fan ascended to Soul Transformation in this lifetime, amid the eight years lingering in the minor realm, he effortlessly stretched it to Soul Transformation solely through his own ingenuity, with little strain.
In a way, when it came to forging techniques tailored perfectly to himself, Li Fan subtly outshone the Derivative Law Jade.
After all, Li Fan wielded [Truth], a secret forever beyond the Derivative Law Jade's reach.
"Unless..."
"Similar to the Final Dissociation Disc, I aid its evolution and rebirth."
Li Fan's eyes gleamed thoughtfully.
While musing, he soared out from the subterranean chamber in the Luojia Mountains.
The Spirit of Heaven and Earth, Purple Luminous, proved even feebler than the nascent Crimson Flame; Li Fan felt no urge to absorb it.
As for skipping the absorption, how to masquerade as a Dao Integration cultivator...
From the [Xuanhuang World-Destroying Transformations] Li Fan had claimed, several forces rivaled or exceeded a Spirit of Heaven and Earth in might.
Their outward displays and energy signatures mirrored those of a Spirit of Heaven and Earth so closely that telling them apart grew nearly impossible.
In essence, a Spirit of Heaven and Earth embodied the Xuanhuang Realm's laws in solid form.
In the fleeting moment before ruin, no opportunity arose to summon a fitting Spirit of Heaven and Earth; instead, it erupted as raw world power.
During his flight back to the Sun family, Li Fan's attire and features shifted subtly.
His brows and locks whitened like fresh snow, while his garments bore a layer of rime.
The air he traversed in flight birthed countless minuscule ice shards from the biting chill.
"[Heavenly Heat Death, All Things Frozen], one derivation from the Xuanhuang Realm born to confront existential perils."
"It casts all creation under heaven into utter void and hush, aiming to dodge the doom. Conceptually, it holds viability."
"Regrettably, the invading force overwhelmed utterly, shattering the whole framework in an instant."
"This Heat Death Frozen Transformation mimics the Spirit of Heaven and Earth tied to icy forces almost flawlessly. The sporadic pulses of energy I release on purpose mimic the instability of a fresh breakthrough, with a shaky realm."
As Li Fan reflected, Tianyu Sky City loomed ahead.
Without any hesitation, he plunged directly into the Sun family enclave inside the city.
Though the Sun family boasted ancestral ties to key Guardian Hall posts and currently harbored three Dao Integration cultivators, they kept an intensely subdued profile.
In Tianyu Sky City, they owned just two neighboring cave abodes that looked plain and ordinary from without.
Stepping inside revealed the expansive, linked interiors of these caverns.
"Sun Ang? You finally remember to return?"
The moment Li Fan arrived by air, an irate voice rang out.
It belonged to Wu Ninglu, the Dao companion of the vessel he inhabited, Sun Ang.
Wu Ninglu's cultivation mirrored Sun Ang's former stage, both lingering in late Soul Transformation.
Still, their bond soured early; the union stemmed from familial pressures on both sides.
Over these years, no heirs had come forth.
"Huh? You..." Wu Ninglu stormed forward, poised to demand answers.
But upon discerning Li Fan's altered look, shock gripped her fiercely.
Li Fan simply eyed Wu Ninglu, offering no reply.
"I'm weary."
In chilling detachment, he uttered this, then headed to Sun Ang's dwelling.
The Sun family's cavern abode formed a round valley.
Key facilities such as the clan assembly hall and storehouse stood at the valley's heart.
Dwellings for family members dotted the surrounding cliffs.
Over Sun Ang's abrupt exit and baffling vanishing act before, Wu Ninglu had nursed a seething grudge.
Now, witnessing his return coupled with that aloof, silent demeanor, her rage boiled over.
Yet oddly, as she geared to unleash it, his frosty stare doused her wrath in an instant.
Her lips parted, but fear robbed her of the will to speak.
This strange feeling lingered only until Sun Ang faded entirely from view.
"He actually scared me?!" Wu Ninglu, refusing to believe it, reeled in astonishment and ire.
Still, replaying Sun Ang's demeanor, a daring suspicion bubbled up in her thoughts.
"Could Sun Ang have achieved a breakthrough?"
Moments ago, confronting Sun Ang, Wu Ninglu had sensed the dread and disquiet reserved for the clan's elders.
This realization swept away all resentment and frustration from Wu Ninglu's heart.
Blending awe and delight, she hastened after him to their home.
"Sun Lang?"
As though revisiting their first encounter, Wu Ninglu called out tentatively.
