My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1026: The Fate of the Progenitors

Lu Chengxue lived up to his status as a core disciple of the Lu family; his connections were excellent.

In the short half-day that Li Fan had been secretly tailing him, a total of thirty-seven people had crossed paths with Lu Chengxue. Without exception, they all greeted him politely and with smiling faces.

Moreover, Li Fan could tell that the smiles on their faces were not feigned. They were genuine happiness from the heart.

After being busy for half a day, Lu Chengxue finally returned to his Cave-heaven at a leisurely pace.

Li Fan followed suit and sneaked in.

The Cave-heaven's formation defenses were naturally no obstacle to the current Li Fan.

He slipped in silently, without being detected by anyone inside the Cave-heaven.

“Husband is back!”

As soon as Lu Chengxue returned to the cave-heaven, eleven female cultivators of varying figures but all with exceptional beauty came out to greet him.

Faced with such a warm welcome from so many beauties lining the way, Lu Chengxue merely nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.

He strode straight to the deepest part of the cave-heaven, into the largest room.

The eleven female cultivators followed with playful laughter.

The door to the room slammed shut with a boom, and soon after, faint sounds of passionate intimacy echoed from within.

Li Fan spied on the scene inside the room, his brows furrowing slightly.

But it was not out of envy for Lu Chengxue's treatment.

Rather, throughout the entire process, Lu Chengxue remained completely expressionless.

It did not seem like he was enjoying himself; it was more like he was completing a chore.

From his conversation with the eleven female cultivators, Li Fan learned the truth behind it all.

It turned out that producing as many offspring as possible was the Lu family's most important method for maintaining its prosperity.

One must know that in the Xuanhuang Realm, being a great benefactor was no easy task.

Sometimes, helping others could even cost one's own life.

The reason the Lu family could sustain its image of benevolence for so long was simply because there were far too many Lu family members.

So many that the family would not hesitate for a moment to exchange the lives of its disciples for an increase in the family's reputation.

In addition to the family-assigned tasks and the requirement to produce a certain number of offspring each year.

Every Lu family member was also acutely aware of their own fate. They might have to sacrifice themselves at any moment, so seizing the day had become the Lu family's longstanding style.

Almost every Lu family member had more than ten spouses.

Whenever they had free time, it was basically spent producing offspring.

Some might indulge in it endlessly and take endless pleasure in it. But clearly, not everyone could maintain their enthusiasm through the endless cycle of rote duty.

Li Fan could sense weariness and exhaustion in Lu Chengxue at this very moment.

“They call him a core disciple of the family, yet he cannot escape the fate of a stud. At best, his mates are simply more pleasing to the eye.”

“In that case, helping you find release is not a bad thing at all.”

Outside the room, the spying Li Fan remained expressionless.

It was not until the great battle ended that Lu Chengxue and the eleven beauties all fell into a deep, drowsy sleep with their eyes closed.

Only then did Li Fan flash into the room.

Lu Chengxue was at the Soul Transformation stage, while the other women were at most at the Nascent Soul realm.

Li Fan pressed his hand directly onto Lu Chengxue's head and took the completely defenseless man into his own Cave-Heaven.

He did not even alarm the other female cultivators and then withdrew like a ghost, swiftly departing.

When they woke up, even if they did not see Lu Chengxue, they would only assume he had left early due to exhaustion.

It would likely be several days before they finally discovered Lu Chengxue's disappearance.

In the secret chamber of the Spiritwood Realm.

Without waking Lu Chengxue, Li Fan simply gave him a quick end.

Letting him die quietly in his sleep.

The phenomena of a cultivator's fall were also concealed by Li Fan using a formation. No one in the Spiritwood Realm could detect it.

Soon, a high-grade Dao Deviation Stone emitting a crystalline white light appeared before Li Fan.

Now, within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, there was one fragment of the Stone Mother and three supreme-grade Dao Deviation Stones, along with sixteen high-grade ones.

Li Fan did not expect that among the three targets he had locked onto this time, there would be holders of supreme-grade stones or the Stone Mother fragment.

A high-grade Dao Deviation Stone was sufficient for him.

With continuous fusion and enhancement in each lifetime, it would inevitably reach the level of the Dao Deviation Stone Mother.

This high-grade Dao Deviation Stone still contained Lu Chengxue's memories from before his death.

Instead of clearing it directly, Li Fan began to browse through the scenes within.

"He actually obtained this Dao Deviation Stone as a child. And it came from his father's legacy, acquired without any effort."

Lu Chengxue's father had sacrificed his life to save someone, and in gratitude, the saved person delivered the Dao Deviation Stone as a thank-you gift.

At that time, Lu Chengxue was still young, so the man worried that the Lu family would seize the stone and secretly came to deliver it.

Thus, no one in the Lu family knew that Lu Chengxue possessed the Dao Deviation Stone.

With the Dao Deviation Stone, Lu Chengxue gradually displayed astonishing "talent." He was slowly groomed as a core disciple until today, when he unfortunately perished at Li Fan's hand.

Overall, Lu Chengxue's life was unremarkable.

Aside from fathering a total of sixteen descendants, there was nothing else noteworthy.

After carefully viewing all the scenes, Li Fan shook his head slightly: "An ordinary and pitiable life. It is not even as exciting as my days in the Great Xuan."

"Wasting such a treasure in vain."

With Li Fan's current perspective, he naturally looked down on such a life.

However, he did not erase Lu Chengxue's memories; he simply stored them in a corner.

Then, he began the fusion with his own Dao Deviation Stone.

It was less a merging of two into one and more an absorption and strengthening.

After all, the main body was still the one in Li Fan's sea of consciousness that had already achieved [Dao-Transforming Divine Unity].

As the Dao Deviation Stone bearing Lu Chengxue's life turned into specks of light like a starry river, it continuously surged into Li Fan's sea of consciousness.

The transformation also occurred on the Dao Deviation Stone in his sea of consciousness.

It was as if in an instant, the sky became vast and the earth distant; everything in the world grew brighter.

All the details of past experiences, both noticed and overlooked, great and small, replayed entirely in Li Fan's mind at this moment.

This included information and techniques he had once glimpsed by chance, all of which were now reorganized from the sealed memories.

...

"The difference between high-grade and mid-grade is like heaven and earth with just one word's change. I truly wonder what level the supreme-grade, or even the Dao Deviation Stone Mother, reaches."

Scenes of worlds endlessly forming and perishing seemed to flicker in Li Fan's eyes as he sighed softly.

He tested deriving an immortal-grade formation using the Final Dissociation Disc.

With the aid of the Dao Deviation Stone, Li Fan's handling of data redundancy had greatly improved.

He no longer felt the overwhelming complexity and uncertainty of where to begin as he had during previous studies.

Now, he no longer felt lost; a mere glance would immediately form a general research direction in his mind.

Li Fan also tested the Heaven-Measuring Ruler.

"The number of scenes that can be monitored simultaneously has surged tenfold..."

With this quantifiable result, Li Fan was very satisfied with this harvest.
