My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1394: The Xuanhuang Rebirth Transformation

However, it also understood who was truly in control of the current situation.

It began rubbing against Li Fan's palm, showing goodwill toward him.

"The Heavenly Beast is a creation of the Immortal Realm. Judging from how eager it is, it seems that it can devour the Immortal Domain Go pieces..."

"If the Xuanhuang Realm cannot swallow these stones directly, then they can simply be processed through this little turtle."

"Once the little thing has grown fat and strong, I can kill it and offer it as a sacrifice to Heaven!"

A glint flashed through Li Fan's eyes. He immediately withdrew the protection surrounding the Immortal Domain Go piece.

The little Heavenly Beast became extremely excited and began gnawing away at it with great enthusiasm.

The continuous sound of something resembling brittle bones being crushed inch by inch rang out. Li Fan narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the drastic changes occurring within the Immortal Domain Go piece.

Based on his previous observations, the Immortal Domain Go pieces were actually composed of countless True Immortal seal script characters representing the laws of the Immortal Realm. When a Go piece suffered external damage or was stimulated, the True Immortal seal script characters folded within it would unfold once again.

However, the True Immortal seal script characters contained within a single Go piece were incomplete. They were merely fragments that had been severed apart. Therefore, when they unfolded into the world, what appeared would not be the scenery of the Immortal Realm from the past.

Only when all the Go pieces were gathered together and these fragments were pieced back into complete True Immortal seal script characters would the true Immortal Domain containing the Southern Immortal Celestial Pillar descend into the mortal world.

But it was still a part of the Immortal Realm.

Even merely unfolding and changing its form required an enormous amount of energy, let alone destroying it. It was certainly not something an ordinary person could accomplish.

Yet now, under the little Heavenly Beast's chewing, the fragments of True Immortal seal script characters that composed the Immortal Domain Go piece actually began to disintegrate even further.

They transformed into tiny fragments of energy, which the little Heavenly Beast happily swallowed into its stomach.

Having only just been born, the little Heavenly Beast could not eat for very long before it became somewhat overstuffed. However, when it saw that the Immortal Domain Go piece had barely been depleted at all, the little thing simply could not bear to let go.

It persisted in gnawing at it for a while longer.

In the end, when it truly could not eat anymore, it reluctantly pressed the Go piece beneath its body, afraid that Li Fan would take it back.

After having its fill, the little Heavenly Beast fell into a deep sleep.

The fragments of the Immortal Realm's laws that it had swallowed were also silently transforming its body.

Its shell became even harder, while its body grew increasingly sturdy.

The most obvious change occurred in the little Heavenly Beast's eyes.

Although it still could not open them, Li Fan could already faintly sense the extraordinary nature hidden within them.

Even while the little Heavenly Beast was asleep, those eyes seemed to remain vigilant, observing everything around it. Most of the time, its attention was concentrated on Li Fan.

It seemed to have already sensed Li Fan's malicious intentions.

"The Eyes of the Heavenly Beast. Interesting."

"Xuantian King fled from the Immortal Realm and obtained countless things. But whether what he fed the Heavenly Beast was better than what I am feeding it remains to be seen. After all, what I am feeding it consists of genuine fragments of the Immortal Realm. Even a True Immortal might not be willing to part with such things."

Li Fan looked forward greatly to seeing how the Heavenly Beast would develop in this life.

It was not because he needed the Heavenly Beast's combat strength.

After all, according to Mo Rubin, a fully grown Heavenly Beast was only comparable to the Twelve Dharma Kings. For Li Fan, that was of little use.

What Li Fan truly cared about was the Eyes of the Heavenly Beast.

In his previous life, Li Fan had followed Mo Rubin into the Eyes of the Heavenly Beast. Within countless overlapping worlds, he had seen a hidden humanoid character.

This character was not the work of the Dao Inscription Immortal. Rather, it was another attempt to "inscribe the Dao."

Although the perfection and intricacy of its Dao inscription could not compare with the Dao Inscription Immortal's work at all, the Dao laws depicted by this character possessed an extraordinarily high level of existence.

As a result, the humanoid character gave Li Fan a feeling that was almost comparable to the power of the Immortal-Mortal Transformation.

"The Heavenly Beast was transformed from a jade pendant, yet it is so lifelike that it is completely indistinguishable from a true living creature. This kind of method..."

When Li Fan had previously comprehended the Shape of Living Beings, he had already faintly suspected that the pattern engraved at the very bottom of the Star Sea originated from that humanoid character.

Now, as he gently stroked the little Heavenly Beast and compared the faint aura emanating from its body with Qiushui, the speculation in his heart received further confirmation.

"Now it seems that the Shape of Living Beings is actually a simplified version of the humanoid character. The methods of the Immortal Realm truly cannot be compared with those of the mortal world."

"But even a version simplified by who knows how many times is already this complicated..."

Li Fan recalled what he had seen in the depression beneath the earth fissure in his previous life, and could not help but frown slightly.

"The Spirit-Gathering Ascension Immortal Formation in the Dark Sea secretly contains the Immortal-Mortal Transformation."

"The Eyes of the Heavenly Beast contain the complete Shape of Living Beings."

"Could the other two formations within the Floating Across Starry Sky Grand Formation also contain their corresponding True Immortal seal script characters?"

A thought suddenly surfaced in Li Fan's mind.

"The Golden Chains Across the Void Formation, the Root of Heaven and Earth."

Li Fan had visited the space of the Root of Heaven and Earth more than once, but had never discovered any traces of True Immortal seal script characters.

It relied upon the power of an ancient Immortal formation that had been born alongside the Xuanhuang Realm.

As for the Golden Chains Across the Void, they had already been completely destroyed during the era of the Ten Great Immortal Sects. They no longer existed within the Xuanhuang Realm.

"It should be that I am overthinking it. The Immortal-Mortal Transformation and the Shape of Living Beings are both high-grade existences among the countless True Immortal seal script characters. Even if the Xuantian King returned from the Immortal Realm with an abundance of treasures, obtaining these two seal script characters should already have been his limit..."

Li Fan thought to himself.

His thoughts returned to the little Heavenly Beast before him.

"The Shape of Living Beings engraved within the Star Sea is far too vast. Probing it would consume an enormous amount of time."

"And the one within the Eyes of the Heavenly Beast was not particularly well inscribed in the first place. Furthermore, it exists within the formation established by Xuantian King, making it far too distorted..."

"By comparison, the one on this little thing may be the closest to its original form."

Thinking of this, Li Fan could not help but reach out and stroke the little Heavenly Beast again.

He released his goodwill, but not only did the little Heavenly Beast's eyes refuse to accept it, they instead grew increasingly wary. It even showed signs of waking the little Heavenly Beast from its slumber.

One had to admit, as expected of a creation of the Immortal Realm, its senses were remarkably sharp.

Li Fan did not press it too hard either. He still had plenty of time to deal with this little thing.

It was merely an artifact spirit. Even if it were a true living being, Li Fan had plenty of ways to bring it under control.

With a thought, blue light flashed, and Qiushui appeared beside Li Fan.

He immediately sensed the existence of the little Heavenly Beast. Perhaps because they belonged to the same kind, the little Heavenly Beast's vigilance toward Qiushui was greatly reduced.

"Take care of this little fellow for now. Look after it properly," Li Fan instructed.

"I shall obey, Great Master!" Qiushui did not dare be negligent. He approached and picked up the little Heavenly Beast.

At the same time, he discovered the Immortal Domain Go piece that had been pressed beneath the little Heavenly Beast.

After all, he was not a creation of the Immortal Realm. Qiushui could not sense the extraordinary nature of the Go piece as the Heavenly Beast could.

Moreover, he possessed the power of the Infinite Star Sea, so he had no interest in an entire world to begin with. He merely faithfully carried out Li Fan's orders.

After discovering that the little Heavenly Beast was not interested in his Infinite Star Sea power, Qiushui's expression turned bitter.

"It has that Go piece to gnaw on. That will be enough. You do not need to feed it anything else."

"Just take it around the Xuanhuang Realm and the Star Sea. Let it wander around everywhere," Li Fan said indifferently.

Qiushui immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Carrying the little Heavenly Beast, he accepted the order and departed.

"Given how sensitive that little thing is, perhaps it may discover something unexpected." With Qiushui's cultivation at the Supreme realm, coupled with his ability to communicate with the true intent of the Star Sea's origin, Li Fan was not worried about the safety of the two.

His attention returned to the transparent Spirit of Heaven and Earth.

After a total of five transfers, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, the transparent Spirit of Heaven and Earth finally finished incorporating all the Half-Immortal Artifacts into the Xuanhuang Realm.

Upon the land of the Xuanhuang Realm, besides the little Heavenly Beast, four other peculiar forms of life had appeared: the Human-Faced Snow Mountain, the Thousand-Mile Dragon Insect, the Flowing Light Rainbow Cloud, and the Frenzied Running Giant Tree.

Of these, the most noteworthy was the strange cloud floating in the air and radiating seven-colored light.

The cloud emitted its own light and shadows, constantly changing.

Most of the scenes it displayed came from within the Xuanhuang Realm. Yet, in fleeting moments, it would also reflect scenes from the Immortal Realm of the past.

It was precisely because Li Fan had once glimpsed the appearance of the Immortal Realm through the memories of a True Immortal that he was able to notice this.

"It should have been caused by devouring three Half-Immortal Artifacts."

Whenever it manifested a scene of the Immortal Realm, even if only for an instant, it would suffer the same fate Li Fan had experienced. The cloud would boil and churn violently. Seven-colored radiance would flash without end, and the entire cloud seemed as if it were about to be evaporated and disappear.

After returning to its normal form, the Flowing Light Rainbow Cloud had shrunk by a full tenth.

Yet for some unknown reason, not only did it fail to stop reflecting scenes of the Immortal Realm, it began doing so even more frequently.

Every reflection consumed its own life force.

After repeating this eight times, the Flowing Light Rainbow Cloud completely vanished without a trace.

Vaguely, Li Fan seemed to see the laws contained within the Half-Immortal Artifacts it had devoured drifting out and merging into the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm.

By then, only half a month had passed since the Flowing Light Rainbow Cloud was born.

"Clouds disperse and vanish. Half a month is already a long lifespan for a cloud. But for a transcendent creation, it is practically an untimely death."

Li Fan looked toward the other three creations.

The Spirit of Heaven and Earth hung high overhead, while the Human-Faced Snow Mountain was transforming into a Flaming Mountain.

The Thousand-Mile Dragon Insect continuously split its own body, one becoming two, two becoming four. After half a month, it had already multiplied into tens of billions of tiny insects.

However, these tiny insects had no ability to survive on their own. They could only eat and then split themselves again.

Once the size of their divided bodies became too small to support their ability to find food, the extinction of the swarm would not be far away.

As for the Frenzied Running Giant Tree, it continued charging forward without end. Its leaves had withered, and its branches snapped apart amid its mad sprint.

Its death was likewise approaching.

Of the four great creations, only the little Heavenly Beast remained peacefully asleep.

"This is the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm deliberately doing this..."

"Perhaps it discovered that the little Heavenly Beast's lifespan was too long, and that allowing it to complete the devouring of the Immortal Artifact laws would take too much time. That is why it gave rise to such a peculiar change."

Li Fan saw through the crux of the matter.

"It really did find a new path. From now on, the internal cycle of the Xuanhuang Realm will probably accelerate greatly."

"Correspondingly, strange living beings within the Xuanhuang Realm will also emerge one after another."

This was a peculiar change that had never appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm, even when it was facing the crisis of world destruction.

Li Fan was extremely interested and recorded it carefully.
