My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1045: Mirror Reflects Heaven and Earth

From the Foundation Establishment stage to the Nascent Soul stage, even with Li Fan's current proficiency, it would still take considerable time.

Moreover, the matters he was now encountering were becoming increasingly dangerous; unforeseen complications could arise during this process, and the Foundation Establishment stage would be insufficient to handle them.

Thus, it was only natural for Li Fan to want to reset his anchor.

"If my plan proceeds smoothly, then before the end of this lifetime, I might seize the opportunity during the clash between the Faceless True Immortal and the Immortal Ruins Immortal to frantically extract the Xuanhuang Realm's impending transformations of birth, achieving the Soul Transformation realm."

"In future lifetimes, starting from a cultivation level comparable to the Longevity Immortal realm in the Soul Transformation stage would make any schemes far easier to execute."

Li Fan's gaze flickered: "Now, I still have two empty anchors..."

The new Five Elements Cave-Heaven was still in the process of gestation, and Li Fan's conjecture on how to add new anchors had yet to be verified.

However, at the [Root of Heaven and Earth] in Tianling Prefecture, Li Fan had already located the corresponding paper figure from the Du'e Book. As soon as there were signs of the new Cave-Heaven's impending birth, Li Fan would sense it immediately.

When Li Fan previously studied the Du'e Book, although he lacked the Du'e Sect's secret methods and could not achieve complete control.

Not long ago, the paper figure Li Fan had taken out in front of Mo Rubin in the Hidden Cave-Heaven was one he had marked with his own imprint on the paper figures there, to allow him to monitor the situation at any time.

"Everything is in place; I only lack the east wind."

"Tianxuan Mirror, Xuantian King..."

Li Fan sat cross-legged in the Spiritwood Realm, his gaze seeming to pierce through layers of world barriers, reaching straight to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Mo Rubin did not keep Li Fan waiting too long.

Three months later, the Xuantian Spirit Sealing Formation was about to be completed.

Li Fan and Mo Rubin met again in the Hidden Cave-Heaven.

"The moment the seal-breaking formation is completed, it will inevitably cause some impact on the Alliance headquarters."

"I have already secretly controlled some cultivators in the headquarters; at that time, they will riot and create chaos to cover the disturbance. Are you prepared on your end?" Mo Rubin's face showed a rare seriousness.

Li Fan nodded: "Rest assured, I have already made contact. As soon as I receive your signal, the Five Elders Association will cooperate by launching an attack on the Alliance headquarters. Heh, an unprecedented opportunity to breach the Alliance headquarters: how could they possibly pass it up?"

"It is all thanks to the Tianxuan Mirror as an inside agent; otherwise, they would not even know the location of the Alliance headquarters."

"However, the Five Elders Association's deployable cultivator forces are limited. The highest is only the Soul Transformation realm; even relying on the advantage of artifacts, they will not last long."

In these three months, Li Fan had also contacted the Five Elders Association.

He had easily persuaded them to join this attempt.

However, he did not explicitly say it was to help the Tianxuan Mirror escape; he merely claimed it was to seize something crucial from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters.

While the Five Elders Association was very interested in stirring up trouble at the Alliance headquarters, they had no intention of completely breaking ties for the time being.

Thus, the assistance they could provide was limited: those Soul Transformation cultivators were not native to the Five Elders Association but merely deathsworn cultivated within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The Five Elders Association stated this openly, but it could not be ruled out that they might secretly make other plans.

After all, an opportunity to infiltrate the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters...

Was a once-in-a-millennium chance!

...

Mo Rubin handed an ancient bronze mirror to Li Fan and instructed: "Take this with you and provide support from outside. You must be within the central four prefectures of the Alliance; otherwise, if the distance is too great, the connection will not reach."

"After the seal is broken, the Xuantian Treasure Mirror will first reside in my body. Then, once we rendezvous, it will transfer to this bronze mirror."

Hearing this, Li Fan could not help but examine the small mirror in his hand, which faintly showed signs of copper rust.

It seemed to have some age to it.

"This was once a realm artifact as well, but in the Great Calamity, it lost all its spirituality. Only the main body remains."

"It is sufficient to serve as a temporary abode for the Xuantian Treasure Mirror."

"As for afterward..."

Mo Rubin pondered for a moment before saying: "It is likely that it will merge with its human body into one."

Li Fan was somewhat surprised: "In that case, would there be no path of retreat..."

"No..." Li Fan suddenly became alert.

"How could Xuantian Treasure Mirror be so decisive?"

The Tianxuan Mirror's human body, as he himself said, was a method of attaining the Dao.

As long as the main body existed, the human body could not be completely eradicated. Even if destroyed, it would regenerate quickly.

But if the human body merged with the Tianxuan Mirror, then once the Tianxuan Mirror was ruined, it would probably truly vanish from this world.

Mo Rubin seemed to see through Li Fan's thoughts and shook his head slightly: “Even without the main body, the spirit of an immortal artifact is not so easily erased. I think even if the Immortal Ancestor acted personally, he might not truly annihilate it. Only an existence like an Immortal could truly harm him. Let us not worry about him.”

“However, leaving no retreat like this does show he is not scheming in secret.” Li Fan agreed.

“Mm, for now, that seems to be the case. But we cannot let our guard down. Aside from a specific few, we should not trust any other person.” Clearly, the destruction of the Xuantian Sect back then had a profound impact on Mo Rubin; he reminded once more.

Li Fan naturally did not refute.

After finalizing the details of the plan, Mo Rubin's figure faded away lightly.

Li Fan quietly flew to a cave mansion of Shuo Feng in Tianquan Prefecture, where he waited patiently.

The area within five hundred li around this cave mansion had all been purchased by the Scarlet Snow Immortal Sage. No other cultivators intruded, making it relatively safe.

Hiding within, Li Fan gazed at the sky with both eyes, but in his mind, he pondered the location of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters.

The central four prefecture of the Alliance were all connected to the Alliance headquarters.

“I have entered the Alliance headquarters from these four prefectures before.”

“Evidently, the spatial nodes are all linked through...”

“It seems the Tianxuan Mirror's main body must be quite large in scale.”

Time passed slowly as Li Fan contemplated.

Half a day later, a strange vibration between heaven and earth drew Li Fan's attention.

At some unknown point, the sky had been tainted with a trace of eerie green.

As if being bombarded by something, the great earth trembled, and rumbling sounds echoed unceasingly in the sky.

Rifts appeared between heaven and earth.

It was as if the end of the world had arrived, with the entire realm on the verge of shattering!

“Such a huge commotion?”

Li Fan was startled, yet the ancient bronze mirror in his embrace showed no reaction at all.

The anomalies between heaven and earth did not fade; instead, they grew more pronounced.

The most obvious was the firmament, which now reflected the shadow of the earth.

It was as if the sky had become a mirror, illuminating everything on the ground within it!

Looking at this scene, Li Fan suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Narrowing his eyes, he concealed his figure.

But whether it was an illusion or not, in the reflection above, Li Fan seemed to still see his own silhouette.
