My Longevity Simulation
Chapter Summary
"Li Fan's painstaking cultivation of Sun Tianci was not merely because he regarded him as a future chess piece to influence the direction of the war between the Immortal Alliance and the Holy Dynasty. Although he had experienced many battles within his master’s illusion realm and against Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Dao Integration cultivators, this was the first time his trump card had completely failed. Because his master actually wanted him to go to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s [Ete...
"But...
" A trace of reluctance flashed in Sun Tianci's eyes.
"Would this not be harming others for my own benefit?
If I cultivate slowly, I should be able to achieve the same effect, right?
"Li Fan did not mock Sun Tianci's naivety, but slowly explained, "The way of heaven is to reduce excess and replenish deficiency.
The cultivation method I am imparting to you is precisely in harmony with the Heavenly Dao of Xuanhuang.
Otherwise, how could it possess such miraculous effects?
""Cultivators sacrifice the Spirit of Heaven and Earth in order to achieve Dao Integration.
They are truly thieves of heaven.
Returning the treasure to its rightful owner, is that good?
Or evil?
""If viewed from the perspective of cultivators, your actions would naturally be an unforgivable evil.
But if viewed from the perspective of the Xuanhuang world itself, you would be a person who has rendered undeniable merit to heaven and earth...
"Each word was spoken slowly and deliberately, as if containing some profound heavenly truth.
As Sun Tianci listened to Li Fan's words, the hesitation in his eyes gradually transformed into resolve.
What Li Fan's split consciousness had shown Wu Ninglu naturally contained both truth and falsehood.
Although Sun Tianci's talent was extraordinary, without guidance from a renowned master, how could he possibly convert the cultivation of other Dao Integration cultivators so easily?
"Born already in Dao Integration, his starting point is already higher than that of the overwhelming majority of cultivators in the world.
And with my assistance behind the scenes...
"Li Fan stared at Sun Tianci, observing the faint concealed aura gathering around him, and thought to himself, "Soon.
Once his strength grows a bit more, and his connection with the Xuanhuang Realm deepens further, I can send him to the Fallen Immortal Realm.
"Li Fan's painstaking cultivation of Sun Tianci was not merely because he regarded him as a future chess piece to influence the direction of the war between the Immortal Alliance and the Holy Dynasty.
More importantly, it was to have him inherit the position of the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.
When creating the Holy Emperor clone, Li Fan had severed all memories regarding the Fallen Immortal Realm and the trial of the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.
Thus, the Holy Emperor had never intended to go to the Fallen Immortal Realm.
He had relied entirely on his own beneficial actions toward the Xuanhuang Realm to gradually earn its recognition.
But the position of Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable required more than just the Xuanhuang Realm's recognition.
More importantly, it required passing the succession ceremony.
This was a control method faintly inherited from the era when Xuanhuang was first created, and it did not shift according to the will of the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Even if the succession had temporarily been severed, it still remained hidden deep within the Fallen Immortal Realm.
Becoming the true Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable would not only allow one to draw upon the power of the Xuanhuang Realm to the greatest extent, but also potentially inherit the memories and legacy of previous Great Celestial Venerables.
A stone cast to test the road ahead.
Li Fan had no interest in becoming the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable, but he cared greatly about the hidden secrets of the Xuanhuang Realm, as well as any surviving immortal artifacts.
The final trial scene he had once experienced in the Fallen Immortal Realm surfaced once more in his sea of consciousness.
"Detonating nine immortal artifacts to extract an immense amount of immortal spiritual power.
A world destroying force sufficient to cross the High Wall.
""There are still four immortal artifacts remaining, including the Great Sun Golden Bell.
They are genuine immortal artifacts, truly passed down from ancient times to the present.
"Having glimpsed the third part of the Grand Formation of the Primordial Mystic Spirit, and successfully reproduced part of its power, Li Fan understood very clearly just how powerful True Immortal level strength truly was.
This was true for immortal formations, and equally true for immortal artifacts.
These were ultimate weapons capable of completely overturning the battlefield, and perhaps even the capital for his future exploration beyond the High Wall.
"Mr.
Bai may have refrained from using the power of those immortal artifacts against the Immortal Ancestor because he was concerned for the safety of the Xuanhuang Realm.
I do not care about that...
""Of course, the prerequisite is obtaining the immortal artifacts' recognition.
""The immortal artifacts left behind by the Great Celestial Venerable should certainly have numerous restrictions.
"...
Many thoughts flashed through Li Fan's mind before he once again looked at Sun Tianci, who had fallen into enlightenment from listening to Li Fan's teachings.
"Less than three years remain.
It should be enough.
"Sun Tianci's cultivation did not continue for long before being interrupted by a sudden disturbance.
On this day, a servant of the Sun family hurriedly came to report.
"The exit of the Sun family has been blocked?
And they specifically named me for a challenge?
"Sun Tianci, awakened from his cultivation, looked somewhat dazed.
The Sun family servant replied with a mournful face, "Yes, Young Master.
Those in the family who tried to force their way out were all beaten and thrown back by the other party.
""It has been going on for more than ten days.
The family head has urgent matters and cannot spare the time.
We truly had no other choice but to disturb your secluded cultivation.
"Seeing the servant's utterly terrified expression, Sun Tianci could not help but comfort him, "It is fine.
Take me there to have a look.
"For Sun Tianci, enlightenment and cultivation were as simple as eating and drinking.
Being interrupted once in a while meant nothing.
He could simply continue next time.
Naturally, there was nothing worth becoming angry over.
Upon arriving outside the Sun family cave dwelling, Sun Tianci saw the one blocking the entrance.
It was unexpectedly a child about the same age as him, appearing only five or six years old.
Dressed in purple robes, with pure eyes...
Or perhaps somewhat foolish and vacant.
"You...
fight.
" The child pointed at Sun Tianci and spoke with concise simplicity.
Sun Tianci immediately shook his head.
"No.
"Hearing his request rejected, the child's eyes instantly narrowed.
Sun Tianci kindly reminded him, "You are only at the Nascent Soul realm.
You are absolutely not my opponent.
I will not bully the weak.
"His words were spoken with complete sincerity, and the killing aura surging from the child opposite him gradually dissipated.
Whispers from the Sun family sounded in Sun Tianci’s ears.
“Tianci, do not be careless.
We have investigated him.
This little child is no ordinary person.
He is obsessed with martial combat, and his strength is terrifying.
Although he is only at the Nascent Soul realm, with a casual gesture he can defeat Soul Transformation cultivators...
”“Yes.
His origins are mysterious, and the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance officials seem to completely ignore him.
People call him the Martial Maniac Child.
”Sun Tianci nodded to his family, indicating that he understood.
At the same time, he looked at the Martial Maniac Child and said seriously, “At the Nascent Soul realm, you may be able to defeat Soul Transformation cultivators.
But the difference between Soul Transformation and Dao Integration is like the gap between heaven and the abyss.
You have no chance of winning.
”“I am afraid that if I strike too heavily, I may injure you.
”The Martial Maniac Child shook his head, disagreeing with Sun Tianci’s view.
“Victory and defeat in battle have nothing to do with realm.
”“Fight!
”“Not afraid of death!
”Seeing the blazing battle intent in the other child’s eyes, Sun Tianci could not help feeling somewhat helpless.
At the same time, he knew there was no avoiding this battle, so he could only bring him to the Sun family training arena.
Although the Sun family was a newly risen clan, and their cave dwelling looked ordinary from the outside, it was actually full of hidden wonders.
The various functional structures within were in no way inferior to those ancient families of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance that had endured for thousands of years.
Take this training arena for example.
It had been built atop the corpse of an ancient fallen Longevity Immortal that had been acquired at enormous expense.
It could easily withstand attacks from Dao Integration cultivators.
Inside the training arena, Sun Tianci and the Martial Maniac Child, two children, stood facing each other with solemn expressions.
The onlookers were so tense they had reached their limit.
Sun Tianci was now unquestionably the most precious existence in the entire Sun family.
Although his realm completely suppressed the opponent, if he suffered even the slightest injury, every Sun family member present who had failed to stop this match would face severe punishment.
“Please!
”The Martial Maniac Child gave a low shout.
In the next moment, a silver spear tore through the sky and stopped directly before Sun Tianci’s face in a thrust.
“So fast!
” Sun Tianci was somewhat surprised, but only to that extent.
An attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator could not even shake his defenses.
The spear dissolved like ice melting into water, vanishing on its own.
“Hm?
” However, after neutralizing the attack, Sun Tianci felt a wave of astonishment.
In the moment he was distracted, the space before him rippled like water.
Then the silver spear emerged once more like a flying fish leaping from the sea, thrusting directly toward Sun Tianci’s body.
“Martial!
” the Martial Maniac Child shouted at the same time.
Silver light flowed along the spear.
In an instant, seventeen additional weapons split off, surrounding Sun Tianci at the center.
Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooked weapons, forks...
It was as if eighteen different cultivators were wielding them, each executing a different technique.
They all struck at once.
Boom!
Sun Tianci’s body was completely engulfed by the violent explosion of silver light.
“Young master!
”“Tianci!
”The Sun family members present cried out in alarm.
If the training arena had not remained sealed, they would likely have rushed in to rescue him immediately.
“There is no need to panic.
This level of force cannot injure Tianci.
” Sun Luyuan’s voice sounded, and everyone instantly relaxed in relief.
Having heard that the Sun family’s qilin child was engaged in battle, the late arriving Sun Luyuan fixed his gaze on the fight within the arena.
The Martial Maniac Child naturally understood that his attack would not succeed in a single move.
The moment the silver radiance engulfed Sun Tianci, he had already flashed forward and launched an unending barrage of attacks.
There were martial weapons used to wound, cultivator treasures taking manifested form, unexpected fists and kicks, and even the power of heavenly and earthly phenomena representing Dao Integration cultivators...
The training arena roared continuously and shook without cease.
It looked dangerously unstable, as though the protective barriers might shatter at any moment.
Sun Luyuan’s expression turned grave as he cast spells to reinforce it.
Meanwhile, Sun Tianci, hailed as the greatest genius of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance in the past hundred years, could only defend passively, appearing utterly battered and miserable.
In truth, no one present could understand the shock in Sun Tianci’s heart at this moment.
Because he discovered that the mysterious technique his master had granted him, the one capable of dissolving cultivator attacks and returning them to heaven and earth, had completely lost its effect against this Martial Maniac Child.
“How can this be?
Could it be because his realm is too low?
A technique meant to deal with Dao Integration cultivators is instead useless against him?
”Since birth, he had cultivated continuously.
Although he had experienced many battles within his master’s illusion realm and against Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Dao Integration cultivators, this was the first time his trump card had completely failed.
The young Sun Tianci could not help but feel some panic.
But he was extraordinary after all.
And although the Martial Maniac Child’s attacks were fierce, there was still ultimately a difference of two major realms between him and Sun Tianci.
As he endured the relentless beating, Sun Tianci gradually adapted to the attacks and slowly discovered some clues.
“No.
The technique has not failed.
Just like the previous Dao Integration cultivators, after the Martial Maniac Child’s attacks are executed and dissolved by me, his own aura still weakens briefly.
But...
”“What he loses is quickly replenished from heaven and earth?!
”Realizing this, Sun Tianci was even more shaken.
One had to understand that this technique was not merely consuming spiritual energy.
It stripped away a cultivator’s origin and Dao foundation, dispersing them back into the Xuanhuang world.
And correspondingly, the Martial Maniac Child’s performance in the training arena was equivalent to fighting him while continuously drawing origin power from the Xuanhuang world.
“How is this possible?
”“This completely violates the new cultivation method created by the Immortal Ancestor?!
”It was no wonder Sun Tianci was so shocked.
The Martial Maniac Child’s actions were equivalent to constantly devouring the Xuanhuang Cave Heaven, the transformation of life, and the Spirit of Heaven and Earth...
Yet the Xuanhuang world seemed to show not even the slightest malice or retaliation.
Within Sun Tianci’s understanding, this was something absolutely impossible.
Because of the mystery he had uncovered, Sun Tianci lost focus for an instant, and the Martial Maniac Child seized the opportunity.
A spell technique pierced through his defenses and struck him directly.
Sun Tianci spat out a mouthful of blood, and seriousness flashed in his eyes.
White flowing radiance like drifting light emerged around his body, instantly forcing back the Martial Maniac Child’s spell techniques.
It was Sun Tianci’s Spirit of Heaven and Earth, [White Silk].
But the White Silk at this moment, after Li Fan’s conditioning and Sun Tianci’s years of cultivation, was already fundamentally different from when it had first descended into the world.
“To actually force me to this extent…”“Master was right.
There are countless geniuses in this world.
I am nothing special.
”Sun Tianci gradually calmed himself.
Surrounded by white radiance, he dissolved each of Martial Maniac Child’s attacks one by one.
“Do not pursue the cause.
Follow the method and strike.
”His master’s teachings flashed through Sun Tianci’s mind.
“If I cannot understand why this Martial Maniac Child can continuously draw upon the Xuanhuang Realm’s origin, then I will simply ignore it.
”“Strike at the root.
Directly sever his connection to the Xuanhuang Realm.
”A flash of light passed through Sun Tianci’s eyes.
The illusory White Silk surged like a tornado, spiraling wildly as it wrapped around Sun Tianci’s body.
Within the vortex of white light, he rose into the air.
One hand pointed toward the heavens, the other toward Martial Maniac Child.
A low shout escaped his lips.
Martial Maniac Child’s previously seamless assault was forcibly interrupted for a brief moment.
Then he simply halted his offensive altogether, looking at Sun Tianci in the air with some surprise.
The two fingers were like a pair of scissors.
They temporarily severed his connection with heaven and earth.
An unprecedented feeling of weakness surged through his heart.
And in Sun Tianci’s eyes, the moment that connection was cut, Martial Maniac Child’s figure actually became somewhat blurry.
“This is…”“The Spirit of Heaven and Earth, born into human form?
”A trace of realization vaguely flashed through Sun Tianci’s mind.
But the movement of his fingers did not pause.
Through his method of communicating with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, he had completely seized the Heavenly Dao’s perception within this area.
Temporarily excluding Martial Maniac Child from it.
It was destined not to last long.
“Suppress!
”High in the air, Sun Tianci viciously pressed down the finger pointing at Martial Maniac Child.
Endless White Silk light gathered into it like a surging river.
The enormous phantom of an index finger solidified, like a towering mountain reaching the heavens, crashing down from above.
The surrounding space around Martial Maniac Child was sealed by this overwhelming force.
His body could not move.
As the Suppression Finger descended, violent roaring sounds mixed with the shrieking of space being crushed into cracks, resounded throughout the entire martial arena.
Sun Tianci’s face showed neither joy nor sorrow.
And Martial Maniac Child beneath the descending finger was likewise expressionless.
There was not the slightest fear in his eyes.
Instead, he looked thoughtful.
Just as the Suppression Finger was about to descend upon him, he unexpectedly imitated Sun Tianci and struck a finger toward the sky in return.
The purple robe on his body transformed into vast purple qi, surging into that strike.
Compared to the Suppression Finger Sun Tianci had unleashed, its momentum appeared much smaller.
Yet it seemed far more condensed and sacred.
Martial Maniac Child’s expression held the joy of enlightenment, along with the solemnity of unleashing a supreme technique.
One purple, one white.
One rose from the earth, one descended from the heavens.
They collided violently near the ground.
Boom!
Blinding light instantly drowned everything.
“Not good!
”Sun Luyuan’s expression changed slightly.
With decisive speed, he swept his great sleeve, carrying away the Sun family members watching the battle as he instantly retreated.
At the same time, he did not forget to activate the protective formations around the martial arena one after another.
The facts proved that Sun Luyuan’s choice was extremely wise.
The impact caused by the collision of the Suppression Fingers swallowed the entire martial arena whole.
Then it continued spreading outward.
The protective formations painstakingly arranged by the Sun family shattered one after another before this terrifying might, as fragile as paper.
The overwhelming force swept through until more than half of the Sun family cave abode was engulfed.
The Sun family’s two Dao Integration cultivators acted together, casting techniques to restrain it.
Only then did the aftershock of the explosion finally gradually subside.
Looking at the Sun family cave abode left in utter ruin, Sun Luyuan’s face twitched.
Fortunately, Sun Tianci’s still vigorous aura brought some relief to his heart.
After the storm dispersed, he arrived at the location of the original martial arena, which had now become nothing but empty void.
Martial Maniac Child was nowhere to be seen.
The Sun family’s qilin child stood motionless, seemingly with his eyes closed in contemplation.
Strictly ordering others not to disturb him, Sun Luyuan personally stood guard for him.
Looking at the ruins left by the great battle all around, a sense of helplessness suddenly rose in Sun Luyuan’s heart.
“Both are Dao Integration, yet the difference is actually this vast.
”“What is even more terrifying is that Tianci is only five years old.
In the future…”A term he had never even dared to think of before suddenly surfaced in Sun Luyuan’s mind.
“How many years has it been since the Xuanhuang Realm last produced a Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign?
”“With Tianci’s talent, it may not be impossible.
It may not be impossible!
”“Especially with the great upheaval approaching soon.
When winds and clouds gather, sages emerge in chaotic times…”This cultivator who had already been in the Dao Integration realm for more than five hundred years found that at this moment, he could not control the slight trembling of his hands.
He could only tightly shut his eyes, fearful that others might glimpse the thoughts in his heart.
At this moment, within Sun Tianci’s consciousness, this Dao Integration child was trapped in unceasing self-reproach.
“I did not mean to kill him.
”“But once the spell was formed, he also counterattacked with the Suppression Character Art…”“I truly could not control it.
”Sun Tianci was filled with remorse.
But Li Fan’s cold rebuke interrupted him.
“Idiot!
How could that kind of existence possibly be killed so easily by you?
”“Do not worry.
Even if your entire Sun family were wiped out, he still would not disappear.
”Li Fan’s vicious words did not matter to him.
Upon hearing that Martial Maniac Child had not actually perished, Sun Tianci was somewhat delighted and emerged from his remorse.
“Master, who exactly is Martial Maniac Child?
”“Could he be a Spirit of Heaven and Earth, born in human form?
” Sun Tianci asked curiously.
Li Fan let out a light snort.
“You at least have some discernment.
”In truth, Li Fan still had more he did not say.
“Zhang Qianmo’s reincarnation method truly does have some profundity.
”“His body carrying the Grand Aspiration to exterminate demons has fused into the fundamental laws of Xuanhuang.
”“And this body of Martial Maniac Child…”In previous reincarnations, Li Fan had seen Martial Maniac Child before.
But at the time, he had not possessed sufficient insight to perceive the mysteries behind him.
However, the many major gains of this life, his increasingly close connection with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, and several rounds of star sea Dao comprehension had given him enough ability to see through the true nature of Zhang Qianmo’s reincarnation body.
“Zhang Qianmo once made three Grand Aspiration.
One was to exterminate all demons under heaven.
One was to replace the Ten Great Immortal Sects.
One was to collect all cultivation methods and share them with all cultivators under heaven.
”“To exterminate all demons can be called [Slaughter].
”“In the cultivation world, the strong are revered.
Replacing the Ten Great Immortal Sects can be called [Martial].
”“To share cultivation methods so that all people under heaven can cultivate can be called [Civil].
”“In ancient times, sages attained the Dao and the world changed, ascending in broad daylight and leaving blessings for later generations.
This was an ancient supreme method capable of attaining True Immortal Dao…”A sharp gleam flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
“Even though the chance of completing each aspiration is exceedingly slim, these reincarnation bodies are like my simulation, capable of infinitely magnifying the probability of success.
”“If the Immortal Dao still existed, Zhang Qianmo might truly have been able to complete the three grand aspirations through this method and achieve the True Immortal realm.
”“What a pity…”Li Fan shook his head slightly.
“Time has passed, the immortal path has been severed, and the world stands on the brink of destruction.
This method…”“The fault does not lie in the technique.
The Great Dao itself has changed.
”“A cultivation method that once could achieve True Immortal status can now, at best, only leap around within a single world.
” Li Fan seemed to gain some insight.
“But compared to the cultivators of the same era who had long since turned to ash, Senior Brother Zhang’s method is stronger by an unknown amount.
In fact, if the Xuanhuang Realm can truly survive disaster in the future, and if the Immortal Dao is reopened…”“Zhang Qianmo might actually be able to ascend to the True Immortal realm.
”Li Fan could not help imagining the future.
“The process may be somewhat long.
But if it can lead to True Immortal Dao attainment, then none of that matters.
”After pondering for a moment, Li Fan’s thoughts returned to the present.
“The Xuanhuang Realm becoming the final surviving place in the entire star sea has already made it difficult enough for Zhang Qianmo’s Grand Aspiration Ascension Method to reach its second step.
If Emperor Yi had not voluntarily led the demon leaders away, this step alone would likely have taken him several thousand years.
”“And now, this second step…”Li Fan had watched the battle between Zhang Qianmo’s reincarnation body and Sun Tianci from beginning to end.
Naturally, he had also seen Martial Maniac Child’s condition, as though a Spirit of Heaven And Earth had descended into mortal birth.
“This Grand Aspiration Ascension Method truly relies on the feedback power generated after the world’s elevation…”“It lodges itself within the world, completely opposite to the current Heavenly Sovereign new method.
”“It can also be seen as a parasite.
But the new method only knows how to devour and seize.
This Grand Aspiration Ascension Method, however, benefits the world.
”“No wonder the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao is almost willing to support it unconditionally.
After all, among all under heaven, those willing to stand on the side of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao are so few they can be counted on one hand.
”“It is a wondrous method.
But without the prospect of ascension, it is ultimately not worth mentioning.
”“At the very least, it is far inferior to directly becoming the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.
”…While Li Fan’s thoughts surged, Sun Tianci, having learned that Martial Maniac Child had not died and feeling relieved, began sorting through the gains from this battle.
This was the first time he had encountered someone of similar age who was evenly matched with him in actual combat.
Inevitably, a trace of excitement arose in his heart.
“I did not expect the Suppression Character Art Master taught me to be this powerful.
”“I have only comprehended less than one third of it so far.
If I fully unleashed it…”Sun Tianci traced shapes through the void with his finger, immersing himself in that incomparably profound talismanic form.
This Suppression Character Art was naturally not a true True Immortal seal script character.
It was merely a residual character Li Fan had comprehended on his own through the Xuan Immortal Ark’s research.
Yet even such an imperfect existence was still an unimaginably terrifying divine ability to cultivators.
As the saying goes, stones from other mountains may be used to polish jade.
Li Fan passed on the half-comprehended Suppression Character Art to Sun Tianci precisely to see what this Xuanhuang prodigy might be able to comprehend from it.
It would also serve as a reference for himself....
Although the details of Martial Maniac Child’s battle with Sun Tianci were ordered to be kept secret by Sun Luyuan.
The devastated state of the Sun family cave abode after the battle could not be concealed from the world.
Thus, the reputation of the Sun family’s qilin child grew even louder.
There were even quite a few battle-hungry Dao Integration cultivators who took the initiative to seek him out, requesting sparring matches.
Sun Tianci could not have wished for anything better, and accepted all challengers.
After continuous battles, his practical combat ability improved at an astonishing rate.
And after cumulatively shaving away a portion of the Spirit of Heaven and Earth within thirty Dao Integration cultivators, returning it to the Xuanhuang world.
The accumulated power exceeded that of one complete Dao Integration cultivator.
Quantitative change had finally accumulated into qualitative transformation.
On this day, Sun Tianci stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the sky.
He remained motionless, tears actually flowing from his eyes.
"Xuanhuang...
"He murmured softly, his expression filled with grief.
It was as if a gentle breeze had passed over his body, continuously circling around him.
An aura Li Fan was extremely familiar with silently descended upon Sun Tianci.
"So he has finally met the conditions?
""After gaining the Holy Emperor as a supporter, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao’s standards have risen quite a bit.
""Back then, slaughtering a few New Law cultivators at random would have achieved roughly the same effect.
"Li Fan, who was observing from the side, thought to himself.
"However, this is still not the time for him to undergo the Great Celestial Venerable’s trial.
"Li Fan keenly noticed that the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao’s attention upon Sun Tianci differed from what it showed toward the Holy Emperor.
Perhaps because Li Fan was hidden within Sun Tianci’s sea of consciousness, while the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao showed closeness, it also displayed a trace of vigilance and suspicion.
This emotion was so faint that even Sun Tianci himself did not notice it, remaining immersed in the supreme joy of making contact with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao.
Only Li Fan, who had personally experienced the Heavenly Dao’s true intimacy through the Holy Emperor’s body, could detect the difference.
"It seems I still need to do more.
""Thinking carefully, perhaps only that matter would be the most efficient.
"Li Fan did not feel anger at the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao’s reaction.
Instead, he had already begun considering countermeasures.
"If you wish to take, you must first give.
""I will let you taste some sweetness first.
"Li Fan let out a cold snort inwardly as he waited for Sun Tianci to awaken from his enlightenment.
In the end, it was only three days later that Sun Tianci happily came to report the good news to Li Fan.
But Li Fan’s words left him somewhat stunned.
"Master, are we no longer going to spar with Dao Integration cultivators?
""I feel it was quite effective.
""Too slow.
Too slow.
As your master, I could have my soul scattered at any moment.
I cannot wait that long.
"Li Fan coldly snorted and directly poured information into Sun Tianci’s mind.
"This...
"Sun Tianci could not help widening his eyes.
"Master, this is a grave crime in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance!
""I myself may be fine, but if it implicates the family...
"After understanding his master’s plan, Sun Tianci could not help but hesitate.
Because his master actually wanted him to go to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s [Eternal Immortal Wall] and release the power originally belonging to the Xuanhuang Realm from the cultivators who had been eternally suppressed there.
