My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1359: Star Sea Plague of Life and Death

Within the Great Xuan Small World, at the Dao Lecture Platform.

The Tianyang Immortal Puppet stood silently behind him with its eyes closed.

Li Fan sat cross-legged, reviewing the insights that the Simulated Heavenly Mandate had selected from the countless living beings across billions of small worlds regarding the flaws in the High Wall.

'Is it before us? No. It is truly above us. Like a great river dam rising into the heavens. It severs our hope of survival and cuts off our path forward.'

'The might of the Darkest High Wall is unfathomable. Without sacred immortal power, how could it ever be destroyed? Yet even a thousand-mile dike collapses from a single ant nest.'

'One man's body, ten million souls, hundreds of millions of wills. A blazing fire illuminates the deepest darkness.'

...

It had to be said that when faced with the crisis of extinction, people truly could unleash unimaginable potential.

Among these mortals, whose cultivation reached no higher than Golden Core, there were indeed some who had vaguely touched upon the truth. Some of their insights and thoughts even inspired Li Fan after reading them.

Even with thoughts numbering in the billions, wishing for them to accumulate into a qualitative transformation capable of uncovering the High Wall's secrets...

Was by no means an easy task.

At the very least, Li Fan saw no sign whatsoever of success in the short term.

But Li Fan was not in a hurry.

He temporarily stopped reviewing them, flicked his finger, and sent forth a sword shadow, packaging all of these useful thoughts together before transmitting them to Mo Rubin.

"I hope this peerless genius of the ancient cultivation world truly gains something from them."

Li Fan gazed toward the starry sky with an unreadable expression.

Although this life had already produced the Tianyang Immortal Puppet, according to Li Fan's deductions, Tianyang alone was still insufficient to protect him while he integrated with the Celestial Spirit Heaven and Earth of the Super Xuanhuang Realm.

"Besides those I encountered during previous reincarnations, I must also account for what lies beyond the High Wall..."

Li Fan once again recalled the ending of his previous life, when Cat Treasure descended, the High Wall collapsed, and even the image of [Truth] began flickering unstably.

"When the Xuanhuang Immortal Domain is born, will the High Wall still be able to isolate the inside from the outside? If unknown forces beyond the High Wall can sense it and descend, then the time left to me will truly be very limited."

Based on what he experienced in his previous life, Li Fan estimated the available buffer period.

"Prepare for defeat before seeking victory. It may never happen, but I cannot afford to ignore the possibility."

"My greatest strength remains [Truth]."

"Second is my array formation mastery that surpasses the Star Sea."

"Third are Ascending and Overlooking and Nine Heavens Descending Mortal Finger."

"After that come the many True Immortal seal script characters."

Within Li Fan's sea of consciousness, the Final Dissociation Disc had just completed its deduction of Immortal Formation degradation, yet it did not rest for even a moment.

Instead, it was now deducing an formation that could truly be called world-shaking.

This formation would combine every bit of formation knowledge Li Fan currently possessed.

Using mortal means to walk the path of a True Immortal.

Li Fan reviewed every immortal formation currently within his grasp.

From the Grand Formation of the Primordial Mystic Spirit came the formations Astral Mechanism, All Spirits Return to Numbers, Desolate Fall, Flowers Bloom in an Empty Room, and Boundless, Primal Chaos Reveals in Form.

Inspired by the ancient Xuanhuang World-Protecting Grand Formation, Li Fan had independently deduced the formations Simulated Creation, Diverse Forms of Sentient Beings and Immortal Descent, All Things Return to Void.

One represented creation, the other destruction. Their might was no weaker than orthodox immortal formations.

Now, Li Fan intended to combine all of these immortal formations together.

Taking the Infinite Dao as the core concept. To create the ultimate defensive immortal formation.

Li Fan still vividly remembered how, in his previous life, the Holy Emperor had used the Bright Moon Starlight Grand Formation to imprison the Four Central Prefectures of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

Regardless of cultivation level, anyone who stepped into it fell into an endless Star Sea and became forever trapped.

This life, he intended to do the same. But the target he wished to imprison...

Was the entire Xuanhuang Realm.

Outside the Xuanhuang Realm, he would construct another High Wall formed entirely of formations.

"If I can delay every unstable factor for just a little longer..."

"Then that will be victory."

The Final Dissociation Disc shone brightly.

Countless fragments formed, combined, and evolved within it.

After successfully establishing the foundation of Immortal Formation degradation, the barrier separating immortal and mortal formations had already been broken.

The deduction progressed exactly as Li Fan had anticipated.

"The Boundless, Primal Chaos Reveals in Form formation can analyze anyone who enters according to the circumstances."

"Using Flowers Bloom in an Empty Room together with Diverse Forms of Sentient Beings, it can create countless worlds that are almost indistinguishable from reality."

"Astral Mechanism, All Spirits Return to Numbers can modify any aspect of those formation worlds in an instant."

"Every form of energy and every type of life has environments where it thrives and environments where it cannot survive. By combining the essence of these immortal formations, I can create countless ever-changing inverse worlds tailored specifically to each intruder's weaknesses."

"Trap them with worlds."

"Kill them with worlds."

Just like Li Fan himself.

Even possessing the heaven-defying treasure [Truth], he still remained trapped within the world of the Xuanhuang Realm and the Star Sea.

More than one hundred reincarnations had already passed, and it was obvious that many more would be required before he could transcend them.

The formation currently being deduced by the Final Dissociation Disc would create, for every future intruder, a personalized Xuanhuang Realm.

Fundamentally speaking, the principles behind this formation were similar to the countless lifetimes of illusion Li Fan had experienced after leaving Great Xuan within the Immortal Severing Grand Formation.

However, the worlds created by this immortal formation possessed a degree of realism and intricacy that ordinary illusions could never hope to match.

"Using the nightmare difficulty version of the Xuanhuang Realm as the foundation..."

"I shall simulate endless variations of the Xuanhuang Realm."

"This formation shall be called..."

"Illusory Xuanhuang, Multitudinous Living Beings."

The moment its name was established, its intent condensed.

The formation was born.

The constantly flashing light within the Final Dissociation Disc suddenly froze.

Then it burst outward violently.

A perfect spherical mass of light appeared, seemingly composed of billions of fragments.

Within every fragment played out a world that resembled the Xuanhuang Realm, yet differed from it in subtle ways.

At the center of these billions of fragmented worlds rested the Xuanhuang Realm, surrounded by the High Wall and quietly floating within the Darkest Star Sea. Its faint radiance illuminated every surrounding world fragment.

Even Li Fan, as the creator of this formation, stood frozen after witnessing this magnificent sight.

Within that brief glimpse, Li Fan saw the countless worlds constructed by the Final Dissociation Disc.

Despite spending so many years struggling within the Xuanhuang Realm, cold sweat still covered his forehead as he found himself startled by his own creation.

"If I were to accidentally lose myself within it..."

"I would likely be suppressed there for several hundred lifetimes."

"As long as one remains beneath the True Immortal Realm, even if they realize the true nature of the world surrounding them, they would still lack the ability to escape."

"In a certain sense..."

"This Illusory Xuanhuang, Multitudinous Living Beings Grand Formation truly is the High Wall of array formations."

As Li Fan remained deep in thought, the fragmented sphere surrounding the Final Dissociation Disc slowly collapsed inward.

Eventually, everything returned to the core of the Final Dissociation Disc.

At present, the Final Dissociation Disc had only deduced the core portion of the Illusory Xuanhuang, Multitudinous Living Beings Grand Formation.

There was still an extremely long road ahead before every detail could be perfected.

However, even this incomplete core was enough for Li Fan to begin preparing in advance.

"The amount of source power essence required to complete this grand formation covering the entire Xuanhuang Realm..."

"Is simply unimaginable."

After making a rough estimate, Li Fan frowned deeply. Given the current number of You Clansmen, no matter how diligently they worked, they could never satisfy his needs.

"It seems I must think of another solution."

"Either resume the flesh factory breeding method using exotic beasts."

"Or find another energy source equivalent to source power essence."

With this thought, Li Fan separated a strand of divine sense and descended beneath Great Xuan.

The You Clansmen living there had multiplied to three times their original population since Li Fan captured and raised them.

Every day, they did nothing except eat, sleep, and pray to the great Holy Teacher.

Curiously, instead of growing weaker from their lack of activity, they had become significantly healthier than when they had constantly hidden from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

This phenomenon differed from Li Fan's previous experiences.

In the past, after being exploited, the You Clansmen always became extremely frail.

Their lifespans shortened.

Their reproductive abilities plummeted.

If not carefully managed, their entire race could easily face extinction.

But judging from the current situation, it seemed as though they had broken free from this cursed destiny.

Li Fan compared the differences between this life and previous ones.

"Their method of reproduction has not changed significantly."

"Although I have not overworked them and have allowed sufficient time for rest, the Holy Emperor in my previous life did exactly the same."

"The You Clansmen within Great Qi also remained short-lived..."

"Could it be..."

Li Fan recalled how, earlier in this life, he had used the Dao Pill technique to possess a You Clansman in an attempt to uncover the hidden True Immortal seal script character within the bloodline of the First Great Celestial Venerable.

"Could it be related to that character involving the Transformation Between Immortal and Mortal?"

Li Fan speculated.

"The You Clansmen were the creation of the Xuantian King."

"Their bloodline is both the source capable of producing source power essence and the origin of their original sin."

"Now the curse upon them has weakened..."

Li Fan gradually reached an understanding.

"Given the Xuantian King's temperament, he would never leave matters completely without hope."

"While punishing the You Clansmen, he likely left behind a path to survival."

"If one of them could awaken and discover the secret hidden within their bloodline, then the shackles weighing upon the entire race would weaken."

To verify his theory, Li Fan acted immediately. The Holy Teacher's phantom, worshipped by the You Clansmen, silently released several rays of dark light.

These descended into the bodies of several randomly selected You Clansmen.

As though receiving divine revelation, they suddenly froze.

Countless visions emerged within their sea of consciousness.

Filled with overwhelming excitement, they first kowtowed repeatedly toward the Holy Teacher's phantom before completely immersing themselves in the enlightenment they had received.

Their prayers and murmurs became louder.

Faster.

Exactly like the You Clansman Li Fan had once possessed.

Their bodies rapidly aged. Some instantly became white-haired. Others transformed into dry skeletons within moments.

Such horrifying scenes failed to frighten the surrounding You Clansmen. Instead, they looked upon them with immense envy.

Their faith became even more fervent.

Finally, amid countless prayers, every You Clansman who had received Li Fan's revelation burned away their lives during enlightenment.

Each of them turned into drifting ashes.

In exchange, Li Fan sharply sensed that the curse shackling their race had weakened once more.

The remaining You Clansmen had indeed grown stronger again.

Not only their physiques.

Even their souls and comprehension had improved across every aspect.

It was as though...

They were slowly returning to what the bloodline of the original Great Celestial Venerable of Xuanhuang had always been meant to be.

"For someone chosen by a True Immortal of the upper realm to become the first Great Celestial Venerable of Xuanhuang..."

"How could such an existence possibly have been weak?"

"And how could his descendants possess such an inferior bloodline?"

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and once again had the Holy Teacher's phantom spread several more revelations.

Given the current overall population of the You Clansmen, they could still withstand this life-burning method of enhancement.

"However, I must be careful when loosening these shackles."

"I have no desire to face the sudden resurrection of the Great Celestial Venerable again at a critical moment."

Having already suffered once before, Li Fan was naturally far more cautious in this regard.

Next, the You Clansmen, who were gradually returning to their ancestral form and original appearance, demonstrated to Li Fan their astonishing vitality and reproductive ability.

Their rate of reproduction was not much slower than the creations once produced by the flesh factories.

Moreover, there were no defective offspring. Every descendant born possessed inhuman physical strength.

Rather than belonging to the human race, they were more like the demon beast race.

As the seals on the You Clansmen were gradually lifted, the amount of source power essence generated through each of their prayers also increased severalfold.

This somewhat relieved Li Fan's urgent need.

However, as he looked at the You Clansmen, whose population had doubled again within such a short time, an unusually rare chill rose in Li Fan's heart.

"Even while bound by layer upon layer of shackles, they are already like this. If they were restored to their peak state..."

"I'm afraid their reproductive ability would not be inferior to the legendary insect race. The key point is that every single You Clansman possesses such terrifying physical strength. It completely defies common sense."

With this thought in mind, Li Fan quietly reduced and controlled the somewhat excessive population of the You Clansmen.

Only after the numbers looked acceptable did he stop.

"It seems I will have to keep watching them constantly before I can feel at ease."

Li Fan separated a simulated personality and quietly implanted it into the phantom of the Holy Teacher worshipped by the You Clansmen.

He also deployed the newly deduced Xuanhuang Grand Formation throughout the region where the You Clansmen lived, ensuring they were completely sealed inside before finally feeling satisfied.

"I truly cannot let my guard down for even a moment."

He controlled the population growth of the You Clansmen in a steady rhythm, allowing it to increase only linearly.

He then used the source power essence they produced to construct the Illusory Xuanhuang, Multitudinous Living Beings Formation.

Time passed swiftly like this.

Until one day.

Li Fan suddenly raised his head and gazed into the heavens.

The Medicine King Cauldron had finally separated from the Immortal Ruins and was falling toward the Xuanhuang Realm from its outer edge.

The fused Immortal Realm fragment within his body resonated more and more intensely, as if urging him to hurry over and receive it.

A flash of sword light streaked across space as Li Fan left the Xuanhuang Realm.

He arrived beyond the world itself and watched as the genuine Medicine King Cauldron grew larger and larger in his field of vision while slowly tumbling downward.

With a wave of his hand, he directly collected it. His departure and return were completed in one smooth motion.

From beginning to end, not a single person within the Xuanhuang Realm noticed anything.

Seemingly sensing Li Fan's suppression from outside, the genuine Medicine King Cauldron continuously released faint fluctuations of energy, attempting to escape his control.

But it was nothing more than futile struggling.

On the outside was a layer of the Illusory Xuanhuang, Multitudinous Living Beings Grand Formation.

Within was a layer of the All Things Return to Void Formation.

Suppressed by the power radiating from the Immortal formations, the Medicine King Cauldron immediately became obedient.

It stood motionless in silence. Li Fan separated a strand of divine sense and entered the cauldron.

Completely familiar with the route, he advanced directly toward the core control center of the genuine Medicine King Cauldron.

Looking at the completely empty core control center, Li Fan let out a faint cold laugh.

He reached out with his right hand, then clenched it. The entire space seemed to twist beneath that single grasp.

A blurry figure was forcibly dragged out by Li Fan.

"Senior, spare my life!"

That figure was naturally the hidden Medicine King Sect Master, Liu Ruchen.

The moment Li Fan pulled him out, he completely abandoned the bearing expected of a sect master and immediately cried out in panic.

It was not because Liu Ruchen lacked composure.

Rather, the methods Li Fan displayed at this moment were simply unfathomable.

He had advanced all the way through the Medicine King Cauldron without triggering a single restriction, heading directly to its core control center.

He had even seen through Liu Ruchen's concealment technique at a glance.

Liu Ruchen's thoughts raced as he tried to determine which great expert from the Ten Great Immortal Sects stood before him.

Yet Li Fan appeared just like an ordinary mortal, with not the slightest trace of aura leaking from his body.

Liu Ruchen could not see through him at all.

Only Li Fan's calm expression and casual glance caused Liu Ruchen's spiritual instincts to issue frantic warnings, leaving his limbs icy cold.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Fan extended a finger and pressed it against the center of his forehead.

An incomparably powerful force surge
