My Longevity Simulation Chapter 710

The surroundings remained enclosed, just as before.

However, this space felt more expansive than the one provided by the Nascent Soul-level Derivative Jade Token previously utilized.

On the bookshelves, familiar texts such as the "Guidelines for Using the Derivation Law Jade" and "Ten Theories of Derivation Law" were present, alongside several brief, anonymous writings.

Among these were titles like "Discussion on the Relationship Between the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association in the Next Century," "The Secret of the Unique Physique of the Fairy Kongyou," and "A Study on the Most Beautiful Woman of the Immortal Alliance."

To subtly observe without drawing attention, Xu Bai initially perused books like the "Guidelines for Using the Derivation Law Jade," mimicking the actions of someone seeking guidance.

Following this, his spirit was invigorated as he eagerly delved into each of the unsigned articles.

“There are certainly many intriguing figures within the Immortal Alliance. Nevertheless, those who gain entry to this Dao Integration-level waiting room are undeniably extraordinary,” Xu Bai commented to himself, delighting in the opportunity to engage with more written works.

It became apparent that these anonymous articles were the contributions of cultivators who had previously occupied this space.

By withholding their names, they could express themselves without fear of reprisal or discovery, enabling candid and unfettered commentary.

The subjects discussed were vast and varied, encompassing personal reflections and audacious speculations. While not always grounded in absolute truth, they provided considerable entertainment.

Intriguingly, subsequent visitors possessed the ability to append their own remarks to these articles, fostering a dynamic exchange that evoked the spirit of academic discourse.

Completely absorbed, Xu Bai unwittingly spent thirteen hours immersed in reading.

“Cultivator Xu Bai, your turn is drawing near. Please be ready.”

The familiar announcement roused him from his deep concentration.

Casting a glance at the temporal display on the wall, Xu Bai carefully returned the book to its designated spot.

Before departing, he could not resist adding a brief comment to the article titled "A Study on the Most Beautiful Woman of the Immortal Alliance." It read:

“Esteemed Daoist, your observations are exceptionally keen. Might you also consider assessing the 'Most Beautiful Woman of the Five Elders Association'? Combining such analyses could potentially yield the prestigious 'Xuanhuang Beauty Rankings'!”

With a subtle smile playing on his lips, the countdown concluded.

The environment within the room abruptly shifted, dissolving into countless luminous particles that streamed towards a distant nexus. These lights coalesced into a radiant conduit, shining brightly against the surrounding dark expanse.

Following this celestial pathway, Xu Bai found himself positioned before the Derivation Law Jade.

Beneath the immense, spherical edifice composed of continuously transforming characters, a solitary desk hovered.

Seated at this desk was a diminutive girl—the spirit of the Derivation Law Jade. Her chin rested upon her hands, her eyelids were half-closed, and her head bobbed gently as she succumbed to slumber, a thin trickle of drool escaping the corner of her mouth, indicative of her deep doze.

Even as Xu Bai approached, she remained oblivious, lost in her slumber.

“Ahem!” Xu Bai let out a soft, deliberate cough.

The little girl startled awake, jolted by the unexpected sound.

A flicker of displeasure crossed her features as she frowned, pouted, and regarded the intruder who had disrupted her rest.

Upon recognizing Xu Bai’s visage, her eyes widened, and her mouth fell open slightly.

Swiftly wiping away the drool, she sat up straight, a subtle expression of embarrassment gracing her countenance.

“H-hello there!”

A delicate flush tinged her cheeks.

Recalling their prior encounter from his past existence, Xu Bai remained quiet but offered a respectful inclination of his head.

“Might I inquire if you are indeed the Derivation Law Jade…”

“Yes, yes, that is I. What is your need?” The young girl nodded vigorously, her large eyes fixed intently upon Xu Bai.

“Simply state your request, and I shall assist you!” she declared in a sweet, childlike tone, confidently tapping the surface of the desk. A blank sheet of parchment then floated gently towards Xu Bai.

This particular piece of paper, by all appearances, seemed considerably larger than the one presented to my original self in my previous life.

“…” Xu Bai maintained a moment of silence before his thoughts began to coalesce, and he commenced writing upon the parchment.

Word after word materialized on the sheet:

“Utilizing the Golden Core technique known as the 'Mountain Sitting Technique' as the fundamental basis, referencing the 'Great Dream of Spring and Autumn Formation,' and integrating the principles of 'Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing' for guidance.”

“Deduce the Dao Integration rendition of the 'Mountain Sitting Technique' cultivation method.”

“While preserving the inherent characteristic of the 'Mountain Sitting Technique' for passive cultivation advancement, I aspire to establish a form of monitoring over the cultivators contributing feedback cultivation. Ideally, this should foster a connection or shared consciousness among all cultivators engaged with the 'Mountain Sitting Technique' practice.”

…

Xu Bai meticulously penned down his specific conditions.

Though the parchment hadn’t yet reached the Derivation Law Jade, it felt as though she had already comprehended its contents.

Her expression shifted, revealing both astonishment and a hint of vexation.

Once the paper was thoroughly covered in writing, Li Fan presented it to her.

The young girl feigned acceptance, examining it with careful scrutiny.

A profound silence settled around them.

"What troubles you? Is the task proving too arduous?" Xu Bai inquired gently, his tone laced with concern.

"Should you find it overly challenging, I can certainly scale back the requirements for the technique," he added softly.

With a decisive slap of her little hand on the table, the girl exclaimed, "What do you mean by that? Do not underestimate me! How could such a thing possibly perplex me!"

"Hmph!"

She knitted her brows, her demeanor turning remarkably serious.

She gave the paper Li Fan had handed her another sweeping glance before tossing it skyward.

As if imbued with life, the characters upon the paper uncoiled and surged towards the colossal orb suspended above.

"Creak..."

Instantly, the rate at which characters shifted on the sphere amplified immeasurably compared to before, emitting even faint, strained groans.

"Snap."

Xu Bai observed as the little girl succumbed to slumber, her head resting on the table.

A gentle smile gracing his lips, Xu Bai directed his gaze upward, his eyes locked onto the immense sphere of light.

His vision, having advanced beyond the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, had improved tenfold. He could now vaguely perceive certain transformations occurring within the sphere.

Amidst the continuous metamorphosis of characters, some began to recede and vanish, seemingly purged as ineffective configurations.

At intervals, brilliant flashes of white light would erupt, obliterating countless characters in a single stroke. Yet, shortly thereafter, new, unneeded characters would materialize in the void, flickering as the process of deduction persisted.

"This must signify the successful derivation of a novel technique."

Xu Bai intently studied the vast spherical array of characters, noting that approximately one-tenth of its surface area remained engaged in the conventional process of technique deduction.

Conversely, the remaining nine-tenths exhibited a dramatically accelerated rate of character fluctuation and alteration.

"It must be assisting me in deriving the subsequent stage of the 'Mountain Sitting Technique'."

"Compared to my previous existence, it truly appears to be exerting its utmost effort. No longer is it merely a display for appearances or a matter of reverse psychology."

"A prodigy of heaven, the embodiment of a celestial anomaly..."

"I comprehend."

Xu Bai cast a sidelong glance at the seemingly slumbering Derivation Law Jade, a profound realization dawning upon him.

The allotted duration for technique derivation using the Dao Integration-level Derivative Jade Token was two days.

Xu Bai maintained his quiet stance beneath the sphere, patiently anticipating the final derivation results from the Derivation Law Jade.

However, likely due to the exceptionally demanding nature of Xu Bai's request, the complexity of deriving this particular technique seemed to have overwhelmed the capabilities of the Derivation Law Jade.

As a phantom countdown materialized before Xu Bai’s eyes, the little girl still hadn't managed to conclude the technique derivation.
