My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1393: The Heavenly Beast Dies and Revives

Within the Great Rift Vortex, the wind and rain gradually subsided.

After Li Fan's various methods of nourishing it during this period, the vitality of the Xuanhuang Realm was far more vigorous than before. At this moment, with the newly appointed Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable, Wuming, drawing upon its power, the wound that had existed for ten thousand years was rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The violent energy was gradually calming down, and the severed line of sight was temporarily restored.

Li Fan seized this fleeting opportunity and stared intently at the final sliver of the rift that had yet to completely disappear.

Previously, through the Boundless Mirror Spirit Sun Luyao, Li Fan had once glimpsed the scene from ten thousand years ago when the entire demon beast race, led by Emperor Yi, had torn through the world boundary and departed.

Emperor Yi had revealed his divine face and used the key hidden within the giant serpent coiled around Nanming Sacred Mountain to activate the terrifying energy contained within Nanming Sacred Mountain, directly breaking through the shackles of spacetime.

That force was like a sharp sword. At the same time as it pierced through the spatial passage, it had also left behind a trace of its own imprint within it.

At this moment, Li Fan caught a fleeting glimpse. Within the rift that was about to close, he vaguely captured some blurry scenes.

Unfortunately, before he had time to examine them carefully, the rift of the Great Rift Vortex had already completely healed.

Instead, he continued with further reconstruction.

The endless vitality continued to pour in from all across the Xuanhuang Realm. On the tranquil surface of the sea, rumbling sounds rang out without pause. One island after another rose from beneath the sea.

On the originally barren seabed, greenery began to sprout. Under the gentle sea breeze, vegetation gradually covered the surfaces of these newly born islands.

They were like crystalline pearls, adorning the ocean.

Li Fan also sensed that within the other waters connected to this sea region, countless living beings were currently rushing toward this place, competing for this newly born perfect homeland.

From this point onward, the Xuanhuang Realm had lost one dangerous and desolate region and gained another land of flourishing vitality.

The Xuanhuang Heavenly Blessing upon Wuming increased by several degrees. However, this time it did not originate from Li Fan, but from Wuming's own contributions to Heaven and Earth.

Once the Great Rift Vortex was dealt with, Wuming immediately rushed toward the next destination.

Judging from his destination, it was the Cangwu Abyss in the southwestern corner of the Xuanhuang Realm.

The scale of this enormous abyss was far greater than that of the Great Rift Vortex. It was a temporary dumping ground for the various materials created by the Immortal Ancestor and Heavenly Doctor during their reconstruction and stitching together of the Xuanhuang Realm.

According to the normal course of history, this abyss might only have been filled after the Heavenly Law Realm truly reincarnated through another vessel. But now, Wuming had taken the initiative to resolve this persistent problem.

With the ability to draw upon nearly the entire power of the Xuanhuang Realm, eliminating the Cangwu Abyss was by no means difficult for Wuming.

However, this also meant that Wuming's actions would inevitably alert Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor, who were still on the other side of the Star Sea.

In fact, ever since the Xuanhuang Realm had been sealed off, the group of Dharma-Transmitters hiding within the Tianxuan Mirror had continuously attempted to establish contact with Immortal Ancestor.

Yet no matter how they tried, they ultimately possessed nothing more than mortal methods. How could they possibly break through the Immortal Formation arranged by Li Fan?

Thus, Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor were still completely unaware of the drastic changes taking place within the Xuanhuang Realm.

They had not even noticed anything before Wuming's actual succession as the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable, which still required a three year waiting period.

It was not that these two Supreme Ones were incompetent.

Rather, the power of the Immortal Formation had already surpassed the mortal world. Even if a Supreme personally arrived, they would still be deceived. Not to mention the minor methods they had left behind.

"Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor arriving ahead of schedule would only disrupt my plans. As for the Cangwu Abyss..."

"We will deal with it later."

Li Fan spoke indifferently.

There was no one around him, but he was not talking to himself. Instead, he was communicating with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao.

Li Fan keenly sensed the resistant will of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao. It seemed that the existence of the Cangwu Abyss truly made it extremely uncomfortable.

"Rest assured. I will compensate you. Moreover, what you receive will be even better."

There was a hint of temptation in Li Fan's calm voice.

The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao seemed to struggle for a while. Perhaps because of its trust in Li Fan, it ultimately chose to agree.

Strands of profound fluctuations descended from the heavens.

Wuming, the Great Celestial Venerable, sensed their meaning, and for the first time, a trace of astonishment appeared on his face.

His rapidly flying figure came to a halt.

He raised his head toward the sky, his face filled with confusion.

The Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao naturally had no intention of explaining anything. It merely continued to express its request.

Although Wuming could not understand it, he did not go against the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao's wishes. He changed direction and rushed toward another dangerous region of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Judging from his direction, he was heading toward the Ten Thousand Li Flame-Burning Shoals, a vast stretch of scorched earth.

This place had originally been full of life, but a thousand years ago, it had suffered an inexplicable calamity and had become the barren red wasteland it was today.

Compared with the Cangwu Abyss and the Great Rift Vortex, the Ten Thousand Li Flame-Burning Shoals was indeed much easier to deal with. Wuming should not need to spend too much time there.

Afterward, he should travel throughout the Xuanhuang Realm and gradually heal the various wounds upon the land.

Li Fan merely had the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao transmit the relevant scenes to him whenever it sensed something. He no longer personally monitored or followed Wuming.

Instead, he intended to fulfill the "benefits" he had previously promised the Xuanhuang Realm.

With a thought from Li Fan, countless flickering images within the Living Beings Grand Formation all appeared in his sea of consciousness.

All living beings had entered the illusion formation, and everything they thought and imagined was simultaneously perceived by Li Fan.

Thus, they had practically no secrets left before him.

Combined with the secret search he had conducted throughout his previous life, Li Fan was able to gather all the half-Immortal artifacts currently located within the regions of the Xuanhuang Realm under his control.

The reason they were called half-Immortal artifacts was because all thirteen of these objects were similar to the Boundless Mirror.

Although they had once been Immortal artifacts, after experiencing countless calamities, all their Immortal spiritual energy had been lost. What remained were only fragments of the various miraculous abilities they had once possessed as Immortal artifacts.

For example, there was a fan capable of peering into and altering a person's emotions.

There was also a blank painting capable of slowly bringing whatever it reflected into reality.

There was even a layer of skin capable of transforming almost completely into another person, with both their appearance and soul aura becoming extremely similar. Ordinary methods would find it exceedingly difficult to distinguish the difference.

Although half-Immortal artifacts were extraordinarily miraculous, in Li Fan's eyes now, they no longer possessed much value.

He might as well collect all of them and return them to the Xuanhuang Realm.

Thirteen balls of light slowly floated out from the illusion formation, passing from illusion into reality.

Within the illusion formation, their owners still possessed their respective treasures.

But in reality, those treasures had silently fallen under Li Fan's control.

The thirteen balls of light gathered together, and the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao seemed to sense what was about to happen.

An extremely excited emotion was transmitted over. The slight dissatisfaction it had previously felt toward Li Fan had long since vanished without a trace.

Li Fan did not immediately refine these Immortal artifacts.

Instead, he carefully observed them for a while.

"Just like the Boundless Mirror, every Immortal artifact contains more or less traces of the Obliterating Wind Calamity."

"Some even retain quite a substantial amount of the residual Obliterating Wind Calamity."

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan still followed the method he had used previously.

Using source power essence as bait, he drew out all the Obliterating Wind Calamity hidden within the thirteen Immortal artifacts.

He carefully gathered it in one place, then used strands of golden threads to seal it away and preserve it.

"The Obliterating Wind Calamity seems to be specially directed toward Immortal artifacts. But regardless, it is a terrifying force capable of destroying Immortal artifacts. Anyone beneath the True Immortal realm would have to avoid it."

"Even if I do not use it to enter the Dao Annihilation Calamity, collecting a large amount of it could still serve as a trump card."

Recalling the reactions of Immortal Ancestor and the other Supremes when they witnessed the Obliterating Wind Calamity erupt in his previous previous life, Li Fan could not help but think this to himself.

Without the Obliterating Wind Calamity, these half-Immortal artifacts became increasingly delectable in the eyes of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao.

They urged Li Fan to hurry up.

Li Fan remained motionless, quietly standing there for more than half a day, deliberately whetting the appetite of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Only after the incessant demands from the Xuanhuang Realm did he finally proceed to the next step.

"Xuanhuang World-Destruction Transformation, the passage of years, the changing of seas and mulberry fields!"

This was a transformation that would only be born when the Xuanhuang Realm faced the threat of destruction. At present, the Xuanhuang Realm was flourishing with vitality, so this transformation did not yet exist.

It was exactly the same as when he had previously refined the Boundless Mirror.

Under the enveloping mysterious power, the flow of time in the space containing the thirteen half-Immortal artifacts seemed to accelerate by hundreds or even thousands of times.

The power of heaven and earth continuously churned, like a stomach digesting these half-Immortal artifacts.

The half-Immortal artifacts gradually became dim and indistinct.

Li Fan slightly raised his head. He also sensed that the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, which was specifically responsible for transforming Immortal artifacts into wondrous treasures of heaven and earth, had appeared once again.

His heart stirred as he secretly observed the transparent figure's actions.

Previously, it only needed to "transport" the remains of one Immortal artifact at a time, or perhaps two at most.

Now, however, there were thirteen of them placed together before it. The transparent Spirit of Heaven and Earth seemed somewhat troubled.

"It's fine. I am watching over you."

Li Fan transmitted a friendly thought toward it.

The transparent Spirit of Heaven and Earth was the manifestation of the Xuanhuang Realm's Laws, so it naturally inherited its relationship with Li Fan.

After slightly nodding toward Li Fan, it made another selection. Then, carrying three half-Immortal artifacts, it once again merged into the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth.

Seeing this, Li Fan also became more attentive.

According to the scenes he had observed previously, the transparent Spirit of Heaven and Earth would "transport" the half-Immortal artifacts it had devoured into the bodies of newborns within the Xuanhuang Realm, turning them into companion wonder treasures of newly born life.

But now, under the Immortal Formation's shroud, the vast majority of living beings in the Xuanhuang Realm had fallen into slumber. What would it do now?

What happened next proved that humans, and even animals and plants, were merely a part of heaven and earth. Moreover, they were not an indispensable part.

Even without their help to "digest" things for the Xuanhuang Realm, the Xuanhuang Realm still had other methods.

In Nine Mountains Prefecture, the nine towering mountain ranges stretching across the earth began to shake violently without warning.

Boom! Boom!

As if heaven and earth were collapsing, the nine mountain ranges successively crumbled.

The dust and smoke raised by the collapsing mountains blocked out the heavens and the sun.

The earth continued to tremble from the aftershocks of the destruction.

If not for the protection of the Immortal Formation's power, the sleeping living beings would have been completely defenseless. This terrifying disaster alone could probably have killed more than ninety percent of the living beings in Nine Mountains Prefecture.

Li Fan watched this scene of the Xuanhuang Realm destroying itself with great interest.

Not long afterward, a sharp glint suddenly flashed through his eyes.

He no longer watched from afar. The wooden sword left its sheath, and he personally arrived within Nine Mountains Prefecture.

The dust gradually settled. On the land that had been reduced to rolling hills, a peculiar lifeform was being born.

From within its body, Li Fan saw traces of the three half-Immortal artifacts that the transparent Spirit of Heaven and Earth had transported earlier.

What attracted Li Fan's attention even more was that the appearance of this newly born lifeform was seven or eight parts similar to the Xuantian Sect's Sacred Beast, the Heavenly Beast.

Despite having just been born, it was already one-fifth the size of Nine Mountains Prefecture.

It seemed to still be sound asleep, its snoring shaking the heavens.

Li Fan keenly noticed that as this little Heavenly Beast continued to grow in its sleep, its body was actually becoming smaller and smaller.

It was continuously compressing itself.

Li Fan was immensely delighted.

'In my previous life, I learned from Mo Rubin that the Heavenly Beast was actually formed from a piece of jade brought down from the Immortal Realm by the Xuantian King.'

'Although the Heavenly Beast later died in battle and transformed into the Nine Mountains, it seems now that it may have merely exhausted its power and returned to its jade pendant form.'

'When the Xuanhuang Realm was searching for a vessel to digest the Immortal artifacts, almost all cultivators were asleep. Thus, it naturally found the sleeping Heavenly Beast.'

While Li Fan's thoughts raced, the little Heavenly Beast quickly shrank until it was only the size of an adult's palm.

In this short period of time, the three half-Immortal artifacts within its body had already become almost impossible to see.

'As expected of a lifeform from the Immortal Realm. Its digestive ability is truly terrifying.'

Even Li Fan was astonished. He concealed all his aura and slowly approached the little Heavenly Beast.

He picked up the sleeping creature.

Even in its juvenile stage, the little Heavenly Beast gave Li Fan a feeling no weaker than that of a Dao Integration cultivator of the Xuanhuang Realm.

With every breath, faint sounds resembling wind and thunder seemed to rumble.

After falling into Li Fan's hands, the little Heavenly Beast instinctively became alert.

But it still could not open its eyes. Its body merely writhed continuously, trying to escape Li Fan's grasp.

Li Fan nourished it with his own spiritual power, but the little Heavenly Beast completely disdained it and hid even farther away.

He then switched to a higher level of source power essence.

The little Heavenly Beast poked its head out and carefully sensed it. Then it quickly withdrew again.

No matter how Li Fan tempted it, it was no longer interested.

Li Fan frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he tried the power of the Boundless Star Sea, followed by the vitality from the ravine basin, one after another.

Although the little Heavenly Beast no longer resisted, it remained only mildly interested.

'Could it be that only immortal spiritual qi will work?'

'This little bastard is really picky. Even I have to rely on the Great Celestial Venerable's legacy just to obtain immortal spiritual qi. Where am I supposed to find food for you?'

Li Fan cursed inwardly.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and his gaze flickered.

With a flip of his hand, he took out a gray Go piece.

It was precisely the hidden measure left behind by Sun Piaomiao for reviving the Immortal Domain.

In this life, Li Fan had no intention of collecting all the Go pieces and causing the Immortal Domain to reappear.

However, he had still gathered most of the Go pieces scattered throughout the Starry Sky.

He had merely suppressed them in different locations.

'The only thing I need to guard against is the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar.'

'If each Go piece is unfolded individually, it will not appear.'

'In my previous life, the Immortal Ark unfolded one of them, creating the keratin substance attached to the surface of the Immortal Ark...'

'But that is only theoretically the case. Originally, there was no need for me to take this risk.'

'However...'

The moment it sensed the aura emanating from the Immortal Domain Go piece, the little Heavenly Beast reacted as if it had smelled some unparalleled delicacy.

It rolled and crawled toward it at astonishing speed.

Opening its mouth, it began gnawing at it incessantly.

However, the Immortal Domain Go piece was protected by Li Fan's defensive measures, and the little Heavenly Beast's biting could not keep up with its rate of recovery.

After gnawing for a long time without getting any of what it wanted, the little Heavenly Beast began to grow anxious.
