My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1097: Record of Seeking the Dark in the Other Realm

"You mean, you've become stupider?" Daoist Hundred Flowers stared blankly at Master Qiaogong.

"Probably..."

Before Master Qiaogong could finish speaking, Daoist Hundred Flowers continued: "As for me, compared to the beginning, I haven't noticed any obvious changes. Could this be due to your own reasons?"

The Master Qiaogong fell silent upon hearing this.

"Guessing endlessly is pointless. Why not try it ourselves?" A gleam of eager anticipation flickered in Fang Zaiji's eyes.

The group exchanged words, one after another.

In the end, Li Fan made the final decision: "The return of the darkness power is not as simple as it seems."

"If it were just pure absorption, it would likely lead to erosion, just like what happened to Mo Rubin."

"Moreover, the Dark Desolate Land is currently under the control of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Entering it for research..."

Liu Ruchen said: "Didn't the emmisary mention that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance also entered the Dark Desolate Land through some ritual performed by those [You Clan] people?"

"Do you still remember the specific details of that ritual? If we imitate it, perhaps we can sneak in undetected."

"After all, inside the Dark Desolate Land, it's nothing but pitch blackness. As long as we're careful, they won't notice us."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zaiji quickly agreed: "The sect master has a brilliant idea! It's definitely worth trying!"

Li Fan pondered for a moment, then used the Water Mirror Technique to perfectly recreate that somewhat peculiar ritual scene.

This included the chanting syllables and tones, all restored flawlessly.

After selecting more than ten young cultivators to learn it, as expected, the ritual failed.

"It really has to be those You Clan people?" Fang Zaiji muttered under his breath.

The members of the Federation of All Worlds also shook their heads one after another, feeling somewhat regretful.

"You Clan people, huh..."

Li Fan had already grasped the foundational information for all the small worlds in the Xuanhuang Realm.

However, there was no information about the You Clan among them; it must have been deliberately concealed by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

"No matter. We can just eliminate them one by one."

In the process of searching for Xu Ke, he had already conducted preliminary probes of the vast majority of small worlds.

Completing the rest wouldn't take much time.

With Li Fan's command, countless unassuming strange beasts swarmed toward the entrances of various small worlds.

Just half a month later, news arrived.

In the final footage transmitted before they were destroyed, traces suspected to be of [You Clan] people were discovered.

That small world must have Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance personnel guarding it.

Li Fan personally led Tianyang to infiltrate it.

He was still very interested in that darkness power.

Not only because it was related to the possibility of escaping the Immortal Ruins, but also because it concerned the so-called [completeness].

Regarding Mo Rubin's fall, Li Fan had always harbored doubts in his heart.

That cunning Xuantian Sect Dharma King, who had toyed with him multiple times, had died so inexplicably in the darkness.

This made it hard for Li Fan to believe.

Especially the reason he entered the Dark Desolate Land.

Mo Rubin's goal had likely never changed from beginning to end.

Find the Xuantian King and leave the Darkest Star Sea.

Even if he hadn't passed the illusion test of the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable, he must have discovered some clues from it.

"Could the Xuantian King be hidden in the Dark Desolate Land?"

"Or perhaps, his inexplicable disappearance back then was also related to the darkness power?"

Carrying these various doubts, Li Fan found the You Clan people hidden underground.

To Li Fan's surprise, there were no Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance garrisons in this small world.

The number of You Clan people here was also very sparse, fewer than a hundred in total.

Unlike the ones Li Fan had seen before, the group here was not robust and healthy.

Each one was emaciated, as if on the verge of sudden death at any moment.

After probing a bit, Li Fan vaguely understood.

The You Clan group before him had fled from their original homeland to escape.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had captured You Clan people, and they had desperately escaped, finding this hiding place.

"This is even better."

Li Fan no longer hesitated. With full force unleashed and in coordination with Tianyang, he prepared to suppress the group of You Clan people into his own Cave-Heaven.

However, something unexpected happened.

Facing Li Fan's assault, these You Clan members, who appeared utterly devoid of any transcendent aura, erupted with an extremely bizarre power.

The elder among the clan remained calm despite his surprise.

He chanted loudly, and a peculiar fluctuation instantly enveloped the entire group.

Right before his eyes, Li Fan suddenly lost track of them all.

It was not some illusionary trick; his attacks truly missed their mark.

"Hmm? Interesting."

In that instant, Li Fan clearly sensed the fluctuation of shadowy power.

"You can run from the monk, but not the temple."

Upon entering this small realm, Li Fan had already used a formation to completely seal the entrance and exit.

Without his permission, no one could leave this world!

His divine sense swept across the surroundings, scouring the entire minor realm, yet he still could not find the hidden You Clan members.

Li Fan simply unleashed indiscriminate attacks.

Black light filled with destructive power descended from the heavens, bombarding every inch of the land.

Countless lives were caught in the aftermath.

Li Fan's expression remained unchanged as he cleansed every corner of this minor realm.

Under this large-scale, no-dead-angle purge, the group of You Clan members finally revealed a flaw.

Sensing something that had blocked his Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword, a glint flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

He instantly layered formations to seal that area completely.

Under duress, the You Clan members finally revealed themselves.

They huddled together, looking up at Li Fan in the sky.

Their eyes held fear and hatred.

The leading elder could no longer hold back and spoke: "Immortal Lord, why must you exterminate us all?"

"In exploring the sacred land, the number of your clansmen you have captured is already sufficient."

"I think you have misunderstood. I am not from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. On the contrary, like you, I harbor an irreconcilable vendetta against the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance," Li Fan declared loudly.

"Otherwise, with your meager strength, how could you have survived under my hand?"

With that, Li Fan fully activated the Soul-Ignition Method.

The five Cave-Heavens, under the blood-red glow, appeared demonically alluring.

With the addition of the Tianyang Immortal Puppet's enhancement, Li Fan's displayed strength now rivaled that of a Longevity Immortal realm cultivator.

The small realm they occupied could not contain it, and cracks of black spatial fissures began to appear.

Heaven and earth trembled, gradually disintegrating.

Merely the aura he emanated had already created an apocalyptic scene.

This terrified the You Clan members below to no end.

"The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is currently exploring your sacred land; I intend to take the opportunity to assassinate them in secret."

"Are you willing to lend this Immortal a hand?"

Li Fan asked in an icy tone.

There was no second option. Coupled with their hatred for the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the You Clan members below quickly chose submission.

When he smoothly brought them back to the Spiritwood Realm and, as per custom, they were to pay respects to the Faceless True Immortal.

The group of You Clan members acted as if they had seen something utterly terrifying; they all collapsed to the ground in an instant, trembling uncontrollably.
