My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1147: One Sword Suppresses the Demonic Sound
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
This time, in acquiring the Heavenly Wonder, the Holy Embryo Li Fan had already gained the necessary approval beforehand.
As a result, the Wooden Sword offered no resistance.
The enigmatic energy dwelling in the Wooden Sword slowly dissipated.
A delicate yet deep vibration started to emerge on the Holy Embryo Li Fan’s form.
Right then, the Xuanhuang Sword Dao finished its transfer.
While the myriad corroded blades in the Sword Tomb bowed faintly in respect, the Holy Embryo Li Fan departed gradually.
“With the Heavenly Wonder in possession, one can straightaway enter the Dao Integration Realm.”
“The Sword’s Base, the Sword’s Principle, the Sword evolving into its personal Cave Heaven. And further still...”
Li Fan’s actual body, having attained the Soul Transformation Realm, immediately grasped the forthcoming route for the Holy Embryo.
“The vital shift of the Xuanhuang Sword Dao in essence.”
“Afterward, when the Heavenly Wonder fully merges with one’s self, it equates to consuming and utterly commanding the might of Heaven and Earth’s laws, thereby reaching the stature of Dao Integration Immortal Sage.”
“It’s certainly much simpler than for typical new-method cultivators of this era. Yet the cost...”
“...lies in nearly eradicating any chance of reversing the heavens to achieve Longevity. Take Mr. Bai, the Great Celestial Venerable of Xuanhuang, who defied the very laws under his rule. Even a talent as extraordinary as his, though triumphant in rebellion, couldn’t evade the retribution from Heaven and Earth.”
“The moment of awakening would coincide with the instant of demise.”
Thoughts raced through the Holy Embryo Li Fan’s mind as his cultivation level rose steadily, stage by stage.
Upon exiting the Sword Tomb, he stood only at the initial phase of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
By the point he exited Tianyou Prefecture, the Holy Embryo Li Fan had progressed to the Golden Core Realm.
When he reached the white fog wall hiding the Chizha Abyss, he had joined the Nascent Soul realm.
Without any intentional push or opposition, the spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth rushed toward him voluntarily, entering his body effortlessly.
It formed a reliable path for his ongoing rise.
“Such is the advantage of Heavenly Dao’s recognition.”
“And this is just the Sword’s path. Were it the full Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, the extent would defy imagination. Little wonder Mr. Bai leaped to the Soul Transformation Realm in one bound and seized longevity at once...”
Bearing the Heavenly Wonder, his cultivation demanded no outside aids any longer.
Furthermore, with Heaven and Earth’s momentum aiding him directly, the Holy Embryo Li Fan’s progress in cultivation defied normal measurement.
His sword intent waves spread outward, repelling the consuming white fog.
Turning into a beam of sword light, the Holy Embryo Li Fan sped directly toward Broken Palm Immortal City.
By the time faint howls, like the lamentations of myriad resentful ghosts, assailed his hearing, the Holy Embryo Li Fan’s cultivation matched his true body’s—the Soul Transformation Realm.
Nevertheless, upon entering the Soul Transformation Realm, his insight into the sword path’s progression stayed unfinished.
Consequently, his advancement decelerated markedly.
“Should I hone it more in this life, then in a future rebirth, my speed will accelerate even more.”
“Halt!” An angry shout abruptly cut into the Holy Embryo Li Fan’s musings.
A silhouette materialized in front of him.
Wearing armor forged from azure scales of light and gripping a huge halberd, the individual aimed it squarely at Li Fan.
“Who are you? How bold to invade the Eternal Immortal Fortress?” The armored cultivator’s voice was stern.
Li Fan’s gaze sharpened a bit as he identified the voice.
In the 114th cycle, he’d been tasked with building the Tianxuan Spirit-Locking Formation inside the white mist beyond the Eternal Immortal Fortress.
Later, when the Chizha Abyss abruptly activated, his Jiaxu Outpost severed ties with the Immortal City.
With dwindling provisions, Li Fan inverted his Dao Heart practice, traveling solo from the outpost to the city seeking help.
Though facing various hurdles and straying into the Maze of the Chaos Character by error, he ultimately got out unharmed.
Finally, right as his life neared its end, he scarcely returned to Broken Palm Immortal City.
He’d had years left originally, but in the last instant, a booming demand of “Who dares approach!” halted him.
Li Fan was forced to pause and state his intent, squandering vital moments.
When he at last re-entered the Immortal City, his vitality was almost depleted, leaving scant time to survive.
…
“Hmph!”
Holy Embryo Li Fan cast a mild look at the man, providing no words.
Using his finger like a blade, he gently thrust ahead.
As though cleaved by some primordial power, the ancient white mist parted right away.
The howls from the Chizha Abyss were quelled by the sword’s mighty vibration.
A brilliant white sword beam lit up the skies and lands.
The Eternal Immortal Fortress, formed from the Ancient Heavenly Sovereign’s cut-off palm, and the fearsome chasm brimming with evil force...
In this instant, both stood exposed beneath Holy Embryo Li Fan’s sword beam, unable to conceal themselves.
The grand sword beam traversed the form blocking Li Fan, went over the Broken Palm Immortal City, and stabbed deeply into the Chizha Abyss!
Silence enveloped the world.
As if struck by awe from this earth-shattering sword, the abyss’s cries lingered unspoken for quite a while.
Only as the white mist gradually reformed, mending the rift, and the abyss hid once more under the fog, did the low moans start up again.
Yet relative to before, their volume had greatly lessened.
Maybe dreading that a stronger noise might invite another strike from Li Fan’s blade.
Recovering from their astonishment, the Qingxuan Army in the Eternal Immortal Fortress turned their eyes toward Li Fan’s spot.
All remained quiet.
Not even the dense white mist could veil the presence resembling a Sword Immortal.
No group knew the dread of those fiendish noises like the Qingxuan Army, who watched over the abyss around the clock.
But now, innumerous fiendish sounds had been tamed by one lone sword.
To what cultivation height did this reach?
The Qingxuan Army lingered stunned, thoughts empty.
Holy Embryo Li Fan, with hands behind his back, steadily looked forward.
The azure-scaled armored cultivator in front had stiffened like rock.
Having confronted Li Fan’s sword head-on, even though the beam spared him, it had imprinted profoundly in his psyche.
Henceforth, his consciousness would fix solely on that sword beam.
Much like an idiot, he’d cease responding to the world.
However, on the flip side, if he could grasp this sword and make it his own insight, for a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would prove a vast treasure.
Even lacking means to level up, this single sword could enable him to defeat foes beyond his rank.
For Li Fan now, there was no point in avenging every past slight fully.
If he crossed paths with them once more, a reprimand would do.
This strike from Holy Embryo Li Fan served mainly as a show, to compel the Qingxuan Army’s commander, Shang Shaojun, to show himself.
After all, revealing power upfront would ease the talks to come.
Sure enough, with Li Fan hovering mid-air inside the white mist, no Qingxuan Army soul ventured near.
Soon after, the white mist undulated.
A peculiar, fluctuating form, akin to waves on a pond, emerged before Li Fan.
“Impressive sword skills, Fellow Daoist!”
“I’ve defended the Chizha Abyss for years, but never dreamed a figure like you would arise in our time!”
Shang Shaojun eyed Li Fan: “What purpose draws you here, Fellow Daoist?”
Gesturing toward the nearby Chizha Abyss below, Li Fan grinned and replied, “Those demonic noises grate and irritate. I plan to draw my sword and plunge into the depths to quiet them for good.”
“Would the Young Lord wish to accompany me?”
Holy Embryo Li Fan’s look was genuine, his statement completely serious.
