My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1494
[Chapter 1473: Primordial Ossification Pillar]
The light danced and changed, and a blurry human figure emerged from the overlapping bones of the True Immortal.
The fairyland around the figure, with its center, was distorted. It seemed that this nameless figure was rejecting all the laws that made up the fairyland.
With the help of Shouqiu Gong’s phantom, Li Fan could see that the nameless figure was not completely rejecting it. After clearly separating from the Way of the Immortal Realm, he quietly transformed everything he came into contact with and integrated it into his body.
Perhaps “absorption” is not the right word to describe it. “Transformation” is more appropriate.
Those parts of the disappeared immortal realm were not absorbed by the nameless immortal figure. Instead, under the influence of unpredictable power, they became existences with almost the same essence as that human figure.
All this was exactly the same as the scene Li Fan had seen when the fairyland first unfolded and the inscriptionless monument appeared.
All things return to their original state, back to the inscriptionless monument; the evolution of the Tao, tracing back to the origin of the Tao!
At this moment, Li Fan saw clearly the Tao that this nameless immortal’s figure represented.
“[Yuanshi].”
There is no need to explain the importance of these two words.
It can restore the earth, fire, water and wind, and return the world to its original state.
The immortal pillar that was originally built to resist the annihilation of one side, after revealing its true form, turned into the source of a vortex that swallowed up the immortal realm.
The speed outside the fairyland is even faster than Li Fan expected.
What made Li Fan even more frightened was that as the number of origins of Dao in this space increased, the figure of Wumingxian became blurred again, as if he was about to escape from this virtual space at any time.
Even with the help of Shouqiu Gong’s phantom, he began to lose track of the exact location of Yuanshi.
Knowing that delay would lead to changes, Li Fan no longer hesitated.
On the armchair, it was as if trillions of supernovas exploded at the same time. The projection network of Li Buren’s mind instantly turned into a ball of dazzling white light.
And in the virtual space, a pair of giant visible hands suddenly descended.
From illusion to reality, he suddenly grabbed Yuanshi, who was in the center of the crumbling fairyland.
The stiffness only lasted for a few breaths before the winner was quickly decided.
During this confrontation, Li Fan also got a glimpse of the strength of both sides.
Yuanshi is the beginning of Tao. Although it is sacred and unpredictable, it is still the embodiment of the power of Tao.
The power of Shouqiu Gong seemed to be closer to the mountains and the sea. Even the Yuanshi, who was in a superior position among the three thousand great ways, had to be bound.
“Even though this skeleton only represents a part of the power of Yuanshi, the only thing that can compete with it is the shadow left by Shouqiu Gong.”
“The changes we have seen at this moment are enough to show that Lord Shouqiu’s strength is even greater than that of Yuanshi.”
“Guarding the hill and looking at the sea…”
To fight against a disaster that could even destroy the Great Dao with one’s own strength is obviously beyond the ability limit of a “cultivator of immortality and enlightenment”.
“The one who controls the sea is Shan’er.”
“But what exactly does this [mountain] refer to?”
The arrival of Yuanshi’s phantom was earth-shattering, but it was suppressed silently.
Under Li Bu’ren’s precise manipulation, the pair of visible big hands, together with the remaining fairyland and the fragments of the wordless stele, were compressed into a lonely stone pillar.
Then he threw it fiercely towards the area in the starry sky of the experimental field inside the high wall, where the black gas of Daoyan appeared most frequently.
The effect is immediate.
The heart-pounding subtle fluctuations disappeared in an instant, as if they had never existed.
The Daoyan black energy, which would not disappear for no reason but would only intensify, also slowly dissipated like water without a source.
“As expected of [Yuanshi], it occupies an absolutely important link in the countless great laws of heaven and earth. The effect of supporting Daoyan is better than I imagined.”
“No wonder it was chosen as the material to build the Southern Immortal Sky Pillar.” Li Fan observed the [Tao Pillar].
After its initial appearance, only a few breaths of time passed and at this moment it had already melted into the avenue of heaven and earth like ice entering water.
Mortal eyes have no chance to see it.
Even Li Fan himself could only vaguely see that something seemed to be wrong in that space, but he could not get to the bottom of it.
Only with the help of Shouqiu Gong’s vision can we see through it.
“In addition to the Southern Immortal Pillar, other immortal pillars may also hide nameless skeletons that are no less powerful than the [Origin] Dao.”
“These things should be the remains left behind by Wuming after his transcendence.”
From the memories of Qian Ruchang and Wuxian, Li Fan discovered many secrets.
After a true immortal transcends and breaks free from the constraints of the great Dao of heaven and earth, this possibility no longer exists.
This was also what Li Fan had guessed before, one of the reasons that led to the coming of the Dao Annihilation Catastrophe.
But obviously, these senior masters who have cultivated to the pinnacle of true immortality do not all completely disregard the lives of other people of the same kind.
“According to Qian Ruochang, before they transcend and pass away, they will leave behind relics, phantoms, treasures, etc., and will assume some of the responsibilities of the missing great way.”
“These immortal pillars should be left by the transcendent immortals of the past.”
“However, compared with Lord Shouqiu’s [Phantom Inheritance] method, this method of leaving behind a relic seems…”
Li Fan observed the stone pillar, recalling that the Yuanshi skeleton seemed to have consciousness and wanted to follow him to [return to the true self]. There was also a sign that the Yuanshi figure appeared after two identical skeletons overlapped.
“It is not like Cheng Dao’s phantom, which is completely independent of itself. Even if it can be abandoned for a while, but…”
Li Fan pondered and thought: “After the small transcendence of jumping out of possibilities, there is the great transcendence of countless possibilities [returning to one]. That is the real transcendence.”
“If you want to take this step, I’m afraid you still have to take back what you once left behind.”
Li Fan understood clearly.
I’m afraid this is the reason why some transcendent immortals are unwilling to leave behind the things that suppress their way.
While Li Fan was thinking, the aftereffects caused by calling upon the power of Shou Qiu Gong’s phantom had been completely eliminated.
The two pieces of Yuanshi bones acted as immortal pillars, and just as Li Fan had guessed, they shared some of the pressure of the Phantom Chengdao.
Li Fan sensed it slightly: “If quantified, it is equivalent to about one and one third of the power of the [Origin] Bone, which can be used by me at will.”
“We only need to consider the trend changes that Li Bu Ren has experienced, and don’t have to worry about the sudden catastrophe of the sky collapsing and the annihilation of the Tao befalling the world.”
“Of course, as time goes by, the pressure of Dao Annihilation will definitely become greater and greater. The force used will gradually weaken.”
However, Li Fan is already very satisfied with the current results.
“In other words, if I can capture another nameless immortal to serve as an immortal pillar, I will be able to allocate some of my power.”
“Until the power of Wudao Shouqiu Gong’s phantom is completely released.”
Li Fan was fantasizing, but the terrible situation from Li Bu Ren’s mind instantly brought him back to reality.
By repeatedly using the virtual image of Shouqiu Gong, Li Bu Ren endured the erosion of power that far exceeded his limit.
Li Fan focused his mind on the projection of the clone’s Taoist network. Suddenly, in a trance, he seemed to see the figure who was hiding with his back to the hill and looking at the sea.
After breaking out in a sweat for no reason, he finally came out of the hallucination.
“Even if Shouqiu’s phantom has no ill intentions, calling upon it so frequently is like injecting a huge external force into the mold. The clone is out of control and is deformed from the inside out.”
“If we draw an analogy, the same principle also applies to when Tian Dao Bai used my clone to descend into the world.”
Knowing that he couldn’t act too hastily, Li Fan temporarily gave up the idea of continuing to use Shouqiu’s virtual shadow in the short term.
“Unless there is something uncontrollable.”
“Now, we still need to find out the truth. First, change the clone back to its original appearance.”
This is not a difficult task for Li Fan.
With the original body as an anchor, he could compare them with each other and gradually remove the influence brought by Shouqiu Gong like removing bones and flesh.
It’s just troublesome and time-consuming.
“After completing the recovery, we must find a way to strengthen the clone’s ability to withstand the impact.”
“Otherwise, even if you have the nameless power in your hands, the time you can use it for is limited.”
Li Fan already had a vague idea about this.
Lord Shouqiu’s power seems to come from the mountains and the sea.
The only things that can control the mountains and seas are the mountains and seas.
And there just happened to be something in Li Fan’s body that was barely related to the “sea”.
“The power of the ink-killing immortal soul.”
Even through devouring the immortal souls of heaven and earth, Mo Sha He Dao was able to freely display this mysterious power.
But before that, Li Fan did not fully understand the nature of the power of “Mo Sha Xian Po”.
But now, after gaining the insights of Wanghai from Lord Shouqiu for more than a hundred kalpas, Li Fan vaguely realized something.
The projection of the Dao Network in Li Buren’s mind seemed to be violently broken, twisted and deformed. It was even temporarily disconnected from the original body.
Li Fan was not in a hurry to go there in person, but sat in the center of the army without moving.
While slowly restoring the projection of the Taoist network, he injected every bit of Mo Sha Xian Po’s power into the repaired mind of his clone.
“The black air is a sign that Dao Yan is about to come.”
“It’s like the waves formed by the sea hitting the mountain.”
“Or, it’s the fusion of mountains and seas.” Li Fan’s eyes gleamed.
Along with the infusion of traces of ink, the originally pure and dazzling projection of the Taoist network seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow and black edge.
Although it still reflects the avenues of the heavens.
But compared with the past, there are some differences.
In Li Fan’s instinctive perception, this projection network has become a little more “solid”.
But Li Fan was not in a hurry to do the experiment.
But over and over again, as if constantly sketching with a brush.
The clone Li Bu Ren’s spiritual thoughts completely turned from virtual to real after repeating this process.
The entire body seems to be composed of the projection of the Tao network.
The power of Mo Sha’s immortal soul serves as the flesh and blood that fills it.
After Li Fan’s careful carving, a brand new body finally came into being.
Li Bu Ren clenched his fists. Although he no longer had an immortal body, his strength seemed to have weakened.
But he also felt very clearly that he had become more “resistant to beatings”.
Looking towards the starry sky above the testing ground, there was still some remaining black energy from the Dao.
Li Bu Ren had a blank expression on his face. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the dissipating black clouds into his stomach.
The rolling black gas that was powerful enough to destroy everything in the world was churning in Li Bu Ren’s stomach.
Li Bu Ren only felt a sharp pain.
However, the body itself did not dissipate.
If it was the body fragment of the fairyland before, it would definitely not have such a powerful effect.
“It is true.”
The verification in his heart was confirmed. Li Fan felt the turmoil in his clone’s stomach.
“The collision of mountains and sea.”
His thoughts seemed to have returned to the long period of more than one hundred kalpas recorded in Shouqiu’s Essays.
Looking at the vast ocean water constantly washing over the mountain below.
Every collision between the two brings about some changes in the world.
“What a pity. The Shouqiu inheritance was shared by other fairyland pawns, otherwise I should be able to glimpse the true meaning of mountains and seas.” After a long period of observation and contemplation, it was still fruitless.
Li Fan had to regretfully withdraw from that mysterious state.
Mountains and seas are obviously not things of this world.
Even if it was just an immersive visualization, it brought corresponding changes to Li Fan.
The most intuitive one is life span.
After entering the semi-immortal realm, Li Fan’s life span is infinite, which is equivalent to 7.36 million years in this mortal world.
Although it is not a fixed number, it will change with Li Fan’s behavior and actions. But it is limited to the level below ten thousand, thousands, hundreds, tens, and even individuals.
But now, this lifespan has suddenly dropped sharply.
It was cut by one third in an instant!
Li Fan stared at the number and his expression became a little subtle.
“Logically speaking, the stronger I am, the higher the possibility that I can save the entire world.”
“Theoretically, this life expectancy should skyrocket.”
“How come my exploration of the secrets of the mountains and the sea has caused the future existence of the entire mortal world to be drastically reduced?”
Li Fan was puzzled.
But clearly, this was not a good omen.
Li Fan didn’t continue.
“The secrets of the mountains and the sea seem beyond my reach now.”
“Let’s first improve the clone’s body and increase its endurance.”
“If I could fully develop the power of Lord Shouqiu’s phantom, it should be enough for me to conquer this ruin.”
Now, for Li Fan, the power of the phantom in the test field is like a scale. If he wants to use the power of Shouqiu, he must first put an equal weight on it.
“I can now use without pressure only the power of one and a third of the Yuanshi bones. Yuanshi Dao, the immortal of all paths. Even if only the remains are left, it should not be much weaker than an ordinary nameless true immortal.”
“If that doesn’t work, we can release more of the power of Shouqiu.”
Li Fan was thinking about his next hunting target.
There are not many nameless immortals whose identities are currently known.
Li Fan first turned his gaze towards the Immortal Ruins outside the Xuanhuang Realm.
In addition to the hungry immortal who was vaguely approaching the realm of the nameless true immortal, there was also the power under her that might have been left by the previous hungry immortal to support Dao Yan.
Although the hungry immortal was being trampled under the feet of the evil Su Bai, he was unaware of it.
But given Li Fan’s current strength, if he wants to plot against her, he still needs to make some careful plans.
But Li Fan not only wants to capture the true immortal with current power.
