My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1170: The Linked Transformation Ships of All Realms
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
The subtle purple hue covering his form slowly condensed, and upon Li Ping's gesture, it morphed into bolts of lightning that crashed violently against the horde of monstrous beasts.
Deafening booms echoed relentlessly through the emptiness. The pace of emerging insectified monstrous beasts couldn't match how swiftly Li Ping was wiping them out.
Now with his hands unburdened, the Heaven's Mandate Holy Emperor lifted his fist before slamming it down forcefully upon the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven.
One strike, then another!
Even as the simplest kind of assault, it carried threads of purple qi that were driven deep into the Cave-Heaven with each blow.
Gradually, the wild aggression of the insectified Five Elements Cave-Heaven began to wane.
Those primordial Dao One insects dispatched into the Cave-Heaven to corrupt it were infused with a fragment of Li Ping’s consciousness during their upbringing.
In a way, this vast swarm of altered Dao One insects could be seen as his offspring.
By momentarily quelling the instinctive insectification awareness, Li Ping started to seize command over the insectified Cave-Heaven via this bond.
The defiant Five Elements Cave-Heaven gradually settled into calm.The once savage black monstrous beasts, earlier snarling and ready to tear Li Ping apart, now approached him obsequiously, hovering nearby and seeking his approval without cease.
Staying in his towering purple giant state, Li Ping perceived the transformed essence of the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven.
Having endured insectification and subsequent subjugation, this Cave-Heaven now resembled an extension of his own being.
He grasped every detail inside the Cave-Heaven as intimately as his own body.
Moreover, he could direct the insectified Cave-Heaven to shift and strike at will!
“World insectification…”
As he adjusted to this fresh extension of himself, Li Ping pondered deeply.
“If typical Cave-Heavens and minor worlds resemble inert entities like flora, then post-insectification, they gain predatory traits similar to savage animals.”
“Their hostile nature surges, allowing them to hunt and devour on their own initiative.”
“Yet the upsides don't come without downsides…”
Li Ping's brow furrowed faintly: “Following insectification, the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven's endurance has been drastically reduced.”
“It might endure fewer than a thousand years before succumbing to decay.”
The cosmos imposes innate boundaries on longevity.
Spanning eons in the hundreds of millions of years, they appear nearly timeless beside mortal lives.
However, insectification curtailed that span by untold measures.
“The drawbacks eclipse any gains.”
“Suitable for a single attempt, but not repeated.”
Li Ping, viewing himself as destined by heaven, arrived at this conclusion.
Yet Li Fan’s primary form felt a spark within and entertained a contrasting notion.
Chapter 1170: The Linked Transformation Ships of All Realms
During his 119th existence, the Heavenly Doctor once informed Li Fan—posing as Tian Jue's heir—that upon attaining the Dao Integration stage, cultivation methods lose much of their significance.
The vital element becomes grasping the core of the universe and the workings of the Heavenly Dao.
But absent the extraordinary gifts of Mr. Bai or a Dharma-Transmitter, how might an average cultivator readily fathom such arcane great dao?
Though Li Fan reincarnated endlessly, gleaning insights indirectly from Xuanhuang Realm prodigies and myriad chances, it paled against direct, personal enlightenment.
Uncovering that worlds too could undergo insectification sparked fresh avenues of thought for Li Fan.
“I perceive that once the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven underwent insectification, my overriding awareness inside mirrors how I once embodied the Heavenly Dao in the Spiritwood Realm through my physical form…”
“What could surpass the ease of understanding oneself simply by existing as oneself?”
“Even if insectification introduces minor distortions to the world's laws, it remains a valuable benchmark. Paired with [Truth], I can loop restarts indefinitely, affording ample room for experimentation.”
“Splendid.”
His core self mulled over these ideas while methodically charting ahead.
The viewpoint shifted back to Holy Emperor Li Ping.
Having fully conquered the insectified Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven, Li Ping gazed down at the colossal mass underfoot, lost in contemplation.
The initial scheme had been to employ this Cave-Heaven as a incubator for aberrant spiritual energy, unleashing it during the impending clash with the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance to reshape the combat arena and surprise the foe.
Presently, though, this altered Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven promised even grander applications.
At Li Ping's mental command, beyond the Cave-Heaven's bounds, the mutated spiritual energy spawned nine robust black tendrils once more. They reached out toward the Great Qi small world.
Beside the immense Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven, the Great Qi small world appeared no larger than an insect before a behemoth.
Guided intentionally by Li Ping, the Heaven and Earth Myriad Spirits Great Formation alongside the Holy Dynasty's fortune lowered their barriers, permitting the nine tendrils to embed deeply into the small world.
Subsequently, they coiled around it multiple times from the exterior.
“Begin!”
The colossal figure forged from the Holy Dynasty's fortune perched upon the insectified Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven and uttered a commanding roar.
The Cave-Heaven shuddered with a deep groan, awakening as if endowed with life, inching toward the void's far reaches, distancing from the Xuanhuang Realm.
The nine tendrils acted as sturdy cables, binding the Great Qi small world, propelling it forward in unison at a measured pace.
“Drawing from the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven's propulsion, traversal through the void proceeds at a leisurely rate. Yet to a cultivator's eyes, it's remarkably swift—surpassing even a Soul Transformation expert at maximum velocity.”
Feeling the growing separation from the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Ping gave a subtle nod of approval.
