My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1618

Chapter 1596: Flames Burning Mountains and Seas

Li Fan stared intently at the light ball in front of him, whose heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and seemed to be about to break out of its shell at any time. The twelve true immortals were also curious about the true face of this primordial creature that they had collectively nurtured for tens of thousands of years but had never been born, and they also looked at it quietly.

“Tell me the origin of this item.” Li Fan asked indifferently.

In front of Li Fan’s tyranny, the twelve true immortals did not dare to hide anything and told him everything: “When the immortal world still existed, we were all immortals from the Zhuyu Star Region. The Zhuyu Star Region is also a very special existence in the boundless immortal world. Strictly speaking, it does not belong to the category of the real immortal world. It is a wild star region that has no immortal phases and has been ignored by all successive immortal emperors…”

“Zhu Yu Star Region.” Li Fan found information about this star region in his memory.

“Is it the fairyland territory that was said to have terrifying creatures in the star field and was abandoned halfway through? But it seems to be just a legend. Until the fairyland was destroyed, there seemed to be no evidence of the real existence of this creature.”

The dwarf nodded repeatedly: “Senior, please understand. Indeed, that terrifying creature has never appeared from the beginning to the end, so it has gradually attracted True Immortals like us who do not want to be constrained and are unwilling to travel thousands of miles. However, the Three Saints are the Three Saints after all. Their gazes are not something we can guess.”

“That terrifying creature really exists. It has been in a deep sleep until the Daoyan Tide came, and then it was awakened…”

Recalling the scene they had witnessed at that time, the faces of the Twelve True Immortals all revealed varying degrees of fear.

“Rather than saying that the Zhuyu Star Region was engulfed by the Daoyan Tide, it would be better to say that it was buried in the confrontation between these terrifying creatures and the Daoyan Tide.”

“It is impossible to see its full picture, only a glimpse of its part. It is as majestic as the mountains and the sea, competing head-on with the Daoyan tide without losing out…”

The old dwarf showed the scene in his memory of the terrifying creature fighting against Dao Yan. The power of this monster was indeed terrifying.

“In the battle between the terrifying creatures and Daoyan, we were completely unable to intervene. We could only try to dodge and survive. The fierce battle lasted for half a day, and then this stalemate gave rise to a larger-scale Daoyan.”

“The Zhuyu Star Region was swallowed up in an instant, and the light and shadow of the terrifying creature slowly disappeared into the Daoyan. Only a shining ball of light was left, still struggling.”

“When we saw this, we took it out with us while escaping. After all, it was left by a creature that could compete with Dao Yan, so it must be valuable. Maybe it contains the way to transcendence. And the fact is just as we expected. During these years in the lower realm, half of us were able to achieve the Dao of No Name, all thanks to this ball of light.” The old dwarf explained everything.

Li Fan frowned and interrupted him: “You were just ordinary True Immortals at the time, how did you survive the Daoyan catastrophe?”

The twelve True Immortals smiled bitterly, looked at each other, and then slowly told the truth: “So that the seniors know, this is the biggest secret of our brothers. The Zhuyu Star Region has not been fully developed. Therefore, it is one of the star regions in the fairy world that is most vulnerable to the erosion of Dao Yan. The immortals in the star region have prepared for a rainy day, and each has their own experience and research on how to survive in Dao Yan.”

“Among them, [Destruction of the True Spirit] is recognized as the most effective method. However…”

The old dwarf hesitated for a moment before continuing, “It is too detrimental to the harmony of nature and is considered a forbidden technique. We only launched it together at the last moment when the Zhuyu Star Region was almost completely swallowed up.”

“What kind of forbidden technique can enable a true immortal to resist the annihilation of the Tao? If it is really so magical, why would the immortal world be destroyed?” Li Fan said with a hint of doubt in his tone.

“This matter is absolutely true, and I dare not make any false statements.”

At that moment, the old dwarf slowly explained the technique of [Total Destruction of the True Soul].

After hearing this, Li Fan couldn’t help but have a rather subtle look in his eyes.

In short, if Dao Yan is likened to a fire that burns everything, then the destruction of the true spirit is to defend against the burning of the star field by this fire, and to burn the star field completely first.

The vitality and existence of the starry sky were ignited, leaving only ashes. Even if these ashes eventually ended up being swallowed up by Dao Yan, the speed at which Dao Yan swallowed them would be greatly reduced compared to the normal starry sky.

To a certain extent, the ashes left after the burning of the starry sky can even be used as a simple wooden boat to cross Daoyan.

“We knew a thing or two about this technique of destroying the true spirit. We held out until the last moment before the destruction of the Zhuyu Star Region, but there was really no other way and we couldn’t hold on any longer. So we chose to burn all the remaining remnants of the starry sky…”

“Using some ashes, I built a boat to escape. I came to the netherworld in a panic.”

Li Fan could vaguely feel that there was still some untruth in what the dwarf old man said. But Li Fan was not a man who cared about trivial matters, and he was not very interested in how they survived.

On the contrary, the technique of “total destruction of true spirit” that he mentioned is indeed true.

This method of hurting oneself by 10,000 and the enemy by 800 is generally meaningless. It is only worthwhile to use it in extreme cases when the possibility is about to be swallowed up by the Dao.

But for Li Fan, it is of great reference significance.

In fact, Li Fan had once displayed similar magical powers.

In his previous life, when he was trapped in the catastrophe of the three fusions, in order to save himself, Li Fan chose to self-destruct.

The foundation of immortality, the path to longevity, became the fuel that burned everything. Infinite light ignited the original possibility and everything around it.

In some ways, it really achieved the goal of isolating the roads, burying the land, burning the mountains and filling the sea.

“However, compared to my crude method of forcibly igniting it with the power of the same level as the mountains and seas, the ignition efficiency of this True Spirit Destruction Technique is much higher.”

“Because this technique has found the foundation of possibility as fuel…”

“True spirit. Or rather, potential, spirituality.”

Li Fan quietly circulated this technique in his body. He mastered it much faster than other magical powers he had learned. Even as soon as he got started, he felt like he was lifting a heavy weight with ease.

But at the same time, Li Fan also felt his own spiritual sense constantly giving crazy warnings.

“If you’re not careful, a raging fire will break out in an instant.”

“This technique uses your own spirituality as a flame and bait. You must first ignite yourself, use yourself as a guide, and ignite the possibilities that you are in. Then you must extinguish the flame in your body as quickly as possible. If it is too late, the only outcome is that you will all die in the sea of fire together.”

“And no matter how calm you are and how swift you are, the consumption of your spiritual energy by this technique is obvious. Every time you use it, your potential will be greatly reduced. If you use it too much, you will become a complete useless person…”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and looked at the twelve immortals who were inexplicably nervous around him. He suddenly understood something: “Twelve people coexist and set the fire together. If they share the responsibility, they can indeed minimize the loss of their own potential. Humph, to be able to do this, it is definitely not just as simple as knowing a thing or two about [True Spirit Incineration].”

“It is very likely that they are the creators of this technique. Their original strength should have been more than this. It is because they used the True Spirit Incineration Technique that their strength was greatly reduced.” Li Fan had seen through the secrets hidden by the Twelve True Immortals in a flash.

Perhaps the twelve True Immortals had never thought that there would be people in the world whose physiques were so compatible with the forbidden technique of [True Spirit Destruction]. You know, because the use of the technique consumes one’s own potential spirituality, the cost of practicing this technique is actually too high. There are often no opportunities to “practice” for many times.

Only those who are extremely familiar with the theoretical foundation of the destruction of the true spirit can perform it successfully in the first practice.

Under normal circumstances, even if you try three or five times in a row, there is no chance of igniting the possibility. Instead, you will end up wasting your time.

But Li Fan is an exception.

“This method completely destroys the true spirit. It is truly an evil method. I don’t know who created it.” A hint of displeasure seemed to flash across Li Fan’s face.

“If I’m not mistaken, this evil method can ignite more than just a single possibility. It may even affect other possible existences.”

The dwarf elder lowered his head and said, “Senior, you are really sharp-sighted. This is indeed possible. However, it is only a possibility. Firstly, the mountains and seas are too vast, but the potential of the creatures in the world is limited. Fires often burn for a while, and after losing the support of the true spirit fuel, they will stop on their own.”

“Secondly, there is Daoyan between the mountains and the sea. Daoyan is a natural barrier and is also very effective in suppressing fire. Take the star sea here as an example. If we take action and set it on fire, even a single possibility will not be affected, and the fire will only be confined to this corner of the land…”

Li Fan smiled and said meaningfully: “You have studied this technique quite deeply.”

The dwarf old man smiled bitterly: “This is the only way to save yourself. You have to study it hard.”

Li Fan did not pursue the matter any further: “Now that I am here, you do not need to use this evil magic. I am still able to carry only twelve people.”

“But, the mountains and seas are endless, do you have a destination?”

“What about the great world on the other side, or the Taiwei Holy Dynasty? Or should we just find a place that has not been swallowed up by Daoyan recently and let you go?” Li Fan asked very kindly.

Seeing that Li Fan seemed to be really considering giving them a ride, the Twelve True Immortals were all extremely surprised.

They looked at each other, not knowing what they were communicating in their hearts.

After a while, an old dwarf said in panic, “Senior, we have heard of the other side of the world. But we have never heard of the Taiwei Holy Dynasty. Senior, can you introduce it to us?”

Li Fan had no objection: “The Taiwei Holy Dynasty was founded by the Taiwei Holy Emperor, an unrivaled powerhouse in the mountains and seas…”

In these words, he narrated the entire story of the Holy Dynasty, which made the Twelve True Immortals dazzled.

“There is such a strong man between the mountains and the sea. It would be short-sighted for us to go there.”

“However, this Taiwei Saint Emperor is a little too overbearing. We went to live in the Zhuyu Star Region because we didn’t like being controlled by others.”

“The other side of the world…”

Li Fan spoke up, interrupting everyone’s fantasies: “It’s a long way to go. If you really want to go with me, you need to be mentally prepared. The mountains and seas are far away, and the road ahead is long. Perhaps, by the time you die, we haven’t reached the end yet.”

The Twelve True Immortals did not hear the earnest tone in Li Fan’s words.

They automatically ignored words like “long” and “distant” and said they had already made their decision.

In their opinion, with the long lifespans of the True Immortals and Nameless True Immortals, no matter how far the other shore is, it would not take so long. They will definitely be able to see the other shore in their lifetime.

But staying here is a dead end.

Compared with the forbidden technique of burning the true spirit, the survival rate of Shanhai Gufan is obviously much higher.

So their choice is obvious.

“In that case, come up.”

Li Fan said lightly, and a lone sail reappeared.

Under the lone sail is a narrow and cramped wooden boat.

Although it is a little small, the Twelve True Immortals can still barely fit in it.

“Everyone, if you have no objection, I will set off?” Li Fan asked.

The twelve true immortals nodded in joy.

“In that case…”

It was as if a gust of sea breeze blew, and the lone sail surged in an instant.

The small wooden boat began to shake violently. It seemed as if a strong wind and huge waves were stirring up around it, ready to submerge the lonely boat at any time.

“Dao…Dao Yan.”

Feeling the familiar terrifying aura engraved deep in their memories everywhere around them, the faces of the twelve True Immortals could not help but reveal a little fear.

But what happened next added a bit of shock to their faces in addition to fear.

“By the way, I have heard the general idea of the True Spirit Incineration Technique you just mentioned, but I am still unsure about a few points. I need to test it myself. Since you are leaving soon, you might as well give me this starry sea and use it as materials for my experiments.”

“Huh?” The twelve True Immortals were all stunned when they heard this.

Before they could react to the meaning of Li Fan’s words.

Li Fan has already taken action.

It was obvious that Li Fan was not asking for their opinions, but was just giving a joking notice.

A glimmer of fire lights up the starry sky.

In just a moment, it spread like wildfire. Infinite light, with the flame as the center, spread out to the surroundings.

A moment later, the sea of stars here was submerged in the dazzling light!

“What a fire! What a huge fire!”

Li Fan stood on the lone sail and praised it.

The twelve True Immortals crowded on the wooden boat below turned pale as paper when they saw this scene.

“You…you…”

Their faces were filled with disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

I was so shocked that I couldn’t even utter a word of questioning for a moment.

They simply didn’t understand why this person could successfully perform the forbidden technique of burning the true soul on the first try.

Even if this person is extremely gifted and can only be seen in the mountains and seas, why would he consume his own spirituality to ignite the starry sky before his eyes when he clearly already has the ability to cross the mountains and seas?

You know, although they also studied and practiced forbidden techniques, they did so out of necessity for survival.

And the person in front of me…

The white flames are endless.

And Li Fan’s face was flickering in the light of the fire and could not be seen.
