My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1458
[Chapter 1437: Xuanyin Cage Ghost City]
“It is also very possible that he was once an unknown true immortal!”
Li Fan lowered his head to hide the thoughts in his eyes, and walked quickly towards his residence.
“Sir, come and play!”
“Brother Ma, long time no see. Come over and have a drink!”
“I finally caught you again, little brat! Don’t run!”
…
Walking in Paradise City, I could hear different sounds one after another. Along with the sounds, there were also memories related to the sounds.
The owners of these voices might be his old lover whom he met while listening to music in the brothel, or his sworn brother who had a life-and-death friendship with him, or his enemy who had caused him trouble.
Pictures emerged one after another quickly, as if I had experienced them myself.
However, Li Fan just turned a deaf ear to it, lowered his head and walked towards his destination slowly.
Li Fan had just “taken over” Ma Tiande’s body not long ago. He was very sure that these things did not exist in Ma Tiande’s memory before. They were just engraved in his mind along with the words he heard.
“It’s not just a simple psychedelic technique.”
“It seems that these things have really happened in Paradise City.”
Even though the voice faded away as Li Fan moved away, the memory that had been imprinted did not disappear, but became even more profound.
Along the way, “Ma Tiande” was forced to endure many experiences.
Every experience is a period of time.
Wrinkles crept up the corners of his eyes. Ma Tiande’s face became slightly more vicissitudes of life.
These changes in his body naturally did not escape Li Fan’s notice. He intentionally controlled his pace from fast to slow. It seemed that every step was very difficult.
After crossing a block in Paradise City, “Ma Tiande” finally returned to his residence.
When the dark door closed, all the noisy sounds from the outside world disappeared in an instant, hidden in the darkness.
According to Ma Tiande’s past habits, he handled a number of matters.
Then he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated, as if he was studying the “Tao Net Pattern”.
However, Li Fan was still thinking about the changes in his body as he walked along the way.
“The false past affects the real present.”
“Is this method the magic sound of King Xuantian chanting scriptures?”
The top-grade Dao Stone in his divine consciousness began to operate, assisting Li Fan in his analysis.
“If Ma Tiande could not resist the temptation and was attracted by any voice, he would have participated in it.”
“Then all the ‘past events’ mentioned during the conversation will come true in my body…”
In the deduced scene, Li Fan vaguely saw that Ma Tiande at the banquet aged at an extremely terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, he turned into dry bones, but he was still chatting and laughing with his left and right.
Until the joy was over, the decayed bones turned into ashes. And Ma Tiande’s thoughts also remained forever in this paradise city, just like the countless thoughts in the city.
“Kid, when you go to Paradise City, don’t do anything except what Master Zhu tells you to do. Stay there honestly for three years, and you may have a chance to come back.”
Before Ma Tiande arrived in Paradise City, the scene of the elders of the Shuoxinghai Governing Council giving him earnest instructions suddenly emerged in his mind.
“Shuoxinghai can hunt immortals as a mortal, which is inseparable from the help of people like Zhu Xueshi who have transformed from immortals into mortals.”
“Although they have fallen into the mortal world, the strength of these former True Immortals should not be underestimated.”
“It may be to comfort them, or to let them vent their twisted hearts. The Governing Council has prepared a special ‘playground’ for them. This Paradise City is the one that belongs exclusively to Master Zhu.”
“The countless creatures seen in the city have all long since died. It is a true ghost town. They are still able to maintain their physical form, but it is only a strange energy that maintains them. Even after three years of reincarnation and endless killing of each other, no one will really die. They are just waiting for the next round to begin and be reborn.”
“However, the final winner in the slaughter…”
Li Fan smacked his lips, savoring the taste of the bowl of red soup he had just drunk.
They are all ghostly memories, and naturally do not have the taste of real flesh and blood.
What Li Fan swallowed at Master Zhu’s house was the taste of the thoughts of all living beings that had been refined and carefully cooked!
“It’s like an eternal memory!”
“No wonder it’s so delicious.”
When a bowl of red soup goes down your throat, you don’t have to experience what the creatures in the bowl have experienced, but you can directly gain the benefits of the experience.
The entire Paradise City can be seen as a larger bowl of red soup.
However, the method of cooking the creatures in Paradise City is even more sophisticated.
Li Fan’s thoughts raced, and the computing power of the top-grade Dao Stone was fully activated.
Get a glimpse of the reality behind the prosperous and horrifying scene you just saw.
“Affected by the ubiquitous magic chanting, the experiences of the city’s legacy are increasing almost every moment. The experience of any member of the city is probably hundreds or thousands of times richer than that of ordinary creatures!”
“First, the idea that can still exist after being forced into these complex experiences has already undergone a transformation in quality, and is not comparable to ordinary ones.”
“Secondly, when making medicine, the medicinal effects of 100-year-old ginseng and 10,000-year-old ginseng are naturally very different.”
“Under the cover of Xuanyin, the cooking efficiency of this Paradise City has increased by an unknown amount.”
Although I don’t know whether what the Lord of Paradise City ultimately seeks is eternal remembrance.
But what he saw in Paradise City made Li Fan, who once had the same plan, deeply feel the crudeness of his own methods.
“I thought that cultivating eternal memories in a fictitious dreamland was already the pinnacle of achievement.”
“I still got taught a lesson by this former True Immortal.”
“As expected of someone who could survive the destruction of the Immortal Realm, his methods of torturing people are truly unheard of. It’s worth learning.”
“It takes three years for flowers to bloom and three years for fruits to bear. This cycle repeats itself over and over again…”
“The so-called [Grand Ceremony] is naturally the moment to enjoy these fruits.”
These creatures indulged themselves in Paradise City for three years, and their desires continued to rise and climb.
Until the moment it reaches the top, it explodes like oil boiling in a raging fire.
“Killing during the day is definitely not as simple as it seems.”
“If the devil’s voice is still shrouding Paradise City, then the survivors may have to endure far more than they imagined. And in this case, they can still survive to the end…”
Even Li Fan was tempted by the freshness of this “fruit”.
“In thirty days, perhaps I can see it with my own eyes.”
“It is conceivable that this fruit of recollection will certainly be of great benefit to the cultivators. But Master Zhu only invited the people from [Knife Island] to a banquet?”
Although Ma Tiande had just arrived, he had heard about the banquet hosted by Paradise City.
“I don’t know what happened this time.”
In the Shuoxing Sea, Daodao and Jianyu are two huge forces that are like the backbone of the sea. Jianyu is centered around the Tianjian Sect of the former Xuanhuang Realm, and gathers a large number of sword cultivators. It is very powerful, with millions of people.
From the beginning to the end, there were only eighteen monks on Knife Island. Anyone who wanted to go to the island had to challenge the monks on the island first. The loser died, and the winner joined Knife Island. It was said that this was the rule established by the first monk who founded Knife Island. The number eighteen was added later. In the original Knife Island, there were only five peerless sword cultivators living on the island.
In the past, when the Shuo Xing Sea was full of vitality and sword cultivators were everywhere, there was an endless stream of cultivators going to Sword Island to challenge. Although all of them never returned, there was still an endless stream of newcomers.
Because, on the Sword Island stands the [Sword Dao].
It is not some mysterious scene, but it is indeed the [Sword Dao] itself between heaven and earth.
If you peek into it, you can face the great truth. If you realize it one day, you will die without regrets.
The Tao is invisible, but now it is manifested on the Island of Blades. There is a reason for this.
However, there is no definitive answer, and there are many different opinions. Even the Shuoxinghai Governing Council has never given a positive response.
Among all the related rumors, the most convincing one is that the leader of Knife Island was once an unknown immortal. And the great way he matched was precisely [Knife].
When he turned from a mortal to an immortal, the Great Dao returned to heaven and earth. However, it was solidified and revealed by some unknown method. The invisible and mysterious Great Dao could be seen by mortals from then on.
“The guy on Knife Island might be an old acquaintance of Bachelor Zhu from Paradise City.”
The nameless immortals, who used to exist only in ancient legends in the Darkest Star Sea, saw two possible nameless immortals at once when they first came to the Shuo Star Sea.
“Rather than saying it’s a matter of luck, it’s better to say that with the destruction of the immortal world having progressed to this point, the former immortals can only live under the same starry sky with mortals.” Li Fan sneered in his heart.
Li Fan was not interested in the mentality of these mortal immortals.
What really interested him was how the nameless immortal was able to transform into a mortal and still save his own life.
It is not surprising that a true immortal can become a mortal. Li Fan has seen this before in the Xuanhuang Realm.
But in the nameless state, the body and the Tao are one.
Transformed into one of the great ways, returning to heaven and earth. How could it be so easy to escape?
Thinking of the appearance of Master Zhu who was neither human nor ghost, Li Fan was very sure that if Wuming Zhenxian wanted to transform into a mortal, he would have to pay an extremely tragic price.
“Those who can achieve the status of being nameless must be extraordinary geniuses. However, even such beings have to abandon their own paths…”
“Is it a helpless act to save his own life in the catastrophe of Dao annihilation? Or is it for the lofty ideal of returning Dao to Heaven and saving the world?” Li Fan showed a rather amusing expression.
Just like the Xuanhuang Realm after the birth of the new Dharma.
The monks devour the great Dao of heaven and earth to cultivate, and when the monks die, everything in their bodies returns to heaven and earth. The nameless body merges with the Dao.
If Wuming perishes, but the Great Dao does not perish, then naturally, the Dao will return to heaven and earth.
However, a contradiction naturally arises.
Since Wuming Zhenxian has already merged his body with the Dao, how could it happen that Wuming died but the Dao did not?
“Perhaps it can also be compared to the events in the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“Those Hedao cultivators are in harmony with the Soul of Heaven and Earth. But with my current means and my understanding of the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm, I can capture them and forcibly separate them from the Soul of Heaven and Earth…”
“It’s not difficult!”
“Although the strength of Wuming Zhenxian is far from that of Xuanhuang Hedao, the principle is understandable.”
“Perhaps, the answer lies in the [Tao Network].”
Li Fan’s eyes flashed.
As the ultimate means for Shuoxinghai to contend with and hunt down true immortals, the Dao Network naturally needs to cover former true immortals like Master Zhu.
Ma Tiande is the person responsible for maintaining and accessing the Dao network.
In fact, Ma Tiande’s life or death was not important. Even if he angered Master Zhu, he would be turned into an eternal memory in the endless reincarnation purgatory of Paradise City.
The next day, the Governing Council will quickly send new personnel over.
In Ma Tiande’s eyes, he was the top manpower of Shuo Xinghai. Running errands for a mortal immortal like Zhu Xueshi was an insult to himself and a waste of his talent.
But outsiders like Li Fan saw it clearly.
It’s just consumables.
And consumables are inexhaustible.
Unperturbed by fame or disgrace, Li Fan delved into the information related to the Dao Network in Ma Tiande’s mind.
“As I expected, the key to utilizing the Dao Network is the Dao Yuan Symbol!”
“I have already mastered the earliest Dao Yuan symbols. Using Ma Tiande’s body, it shouldn’t be a problem to access the Dao Network…”
But Li Fan soon realized that he was totally wrong.
Compared to Qin Zhuang’s time, the complexity of Dao Yuan has increased by tens of thousands of times!
Every instruction requires the joint operation of hundreds of thousands of Dao Yuan symbols. Any slight mistake will be recorded and transmitted to the Governing Council.
“Everyone who has passed the test has mastered the use of Dao Yuan.”
“Governing the country will allow for one or two mistakes. But if you make too many mistakes, it will definitely arouse suspicion.”
Dao Dan’s body possession technique can only observe and inherit memories. As for the application of Dao Yuan symbols, such complex and delicate operations are difficult to perfectly replicate.
Especially since Li Fan was not the original body’s full consciousness, but only a fragment of it, he was even more incapable of doing so.
“If the Qingming Pearl was here right now, it would be great.”
“Can inherit Ma Tiande’s knowledge intact.”
Li Fan shook his head slightly and suppressed his unrealistic fantasy.
Now that we are alone infiltrating the Shuoxing Sea, it is impossible for us to get help from the Qingming Pearl.
“Thirty days from now, the grand ceremony will be held with the cooperation of the Dao Network.”
“It seems that the best strategy is for me to study on my own.”
“Fortunately, I have the help of the top-grade Dao-transforming Stone. What Ma Tiande can do, it should be easy for me to reproduce.”
Li Fan began to study the Daoyuan symbol knowledge in Ma Tiande’s mind from scratch.
The “Thirty Lectures on Dao Yuan Basics” that Qin Zhuang knew from his memory before was completely outdated. Even the meanings of many symbols had become completely different.
Li Fan had no choice but to give up his original understanding and start over.
But the path to mastering Dao Yuan symbols is not as easy as Li Fan imagined. The biggest reason is that the process of Ma Tiande learning Dao Yuan symbols has disappeared in his mind.
Ma Tiande had no idea how he mastered Dao Yuan. He only knew that he finally mastered this skill after a lot of hard study.
There is only result, no cause.
Li Fan could only move backwards from the fruit.
