My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1243: Raising the Sword Toward Ruomu

The golden cube shone with dazzling light. Li Ping’s voice echoed for a long time in this absolutely pitch-black small world.

Once the instinctive fear subsided, what arose in Su Yuqing’s heart was an uncontrollable and intense craving for the sealed object inside the golden cube.

Even the fetus in her womb felt the same.

“You and this small world’s Heavenly Dao, which is still in the process of gestating and awakening, can be considered kindred in a certain sense. The method your master is imparting will allow you to slowly refine and absorb it. It may be equivalent to several centuries of bitter cultivation.”

As Li Ping’s voice rang out once more, a profound and wondrous technique also appeared in Su Yuqing’s mind.

It resembled a secret art, yet also a formation, or perhaps both. It was extremely arcane. Even with Su Yuqing’s comprehension, understanding it proved somewhat difficult.

“This realm holds great significance for your master and the entire Holy Dynasty of Great Qi. Once you devour and refine the Heavenly Dao consciousness of this realm, you can replace it and possess supreme authority within this small world. With you watching over this place, your master can rest assured.”

Only at this point did Su Yuqing suddenly understand.

Although it was a laborious duty, Su Yuqing had always possessed a calm and indifferent temperament with few worldly desires. Moreover, cultivating by embodying the Heavenly Dao here was likely the fastest path for her progress, and it would bring enormous benefits to her daughter as well.

“Master, I don’t want to stay here! It’s so dark!” Daoist Child Liuli shook her head frantically.

Li Ping clearly had no intention of indulging her.

He rapped Liuli’s head with his knuckle and spoke in a deep voice: “Light and darkness are two sides of the same coin. Without darkness, light would lose its meaning. The reverse is also true. As the Glazed Wisdom Fruit, cultivation is easy for you. Yet this is also your fatal flaw…”

Liuli listened with wide eyes, half understanding. Her intuition told her that this somewhat fearsome master of hers was not lying.

“Your progress is rapid, but compared with human cultivators, your upper limit is inherently restricted. To break through that limit, you must draw from the principle of [Glazed] and the principle of [Wisdom]. From this place, you can gain insights into both.”

“You are the youngest among your master’s disciples, so naturally the gift will not be lacking.”

Another sphere of light appeared in Li Ping’s hand. It was not a seal like the previous golden cube, but a pure aggregation of energy.

Daoist Child Liuli subconsciously licked her lips. The moment she saw the light sphere, she felt her stomach grow hungry.

She reached out to grab it, but the light sphere was illusory and slipped through her palm. Liuli grew extremely annoyed and waved her hands repeatedly, yet it was all in vain.

Such supreme delicacy lay before her, yet she could only look and not eat. She almost burst into tears on the spot from grievance.

“Maste…” Liuli looked up at Li Ping with eager, watery eyes.

Li Ping smiled: “This source power essence carries two layers of restrictions added by your master. Only when you achieve a breakthrough in either Wisdom or Glazed will the restrictions be lifted.”

“And once you break through the limit, this energy will help you fully stabilize your new transformed form.”

Daoist Child Liuli stared fixedly at the source power essence sphere and nodded vigorously.

“Heavenly Dao is heartless and treats all things as straw dogs. When you control this realm, take nature as your guiding principle. Remain high above. Unless absolutely necessary, it is best not to personally intervene in the affairs between ordinary living beings.”

Li Ping’s voice lingered for a long time as his figure suddenly shattered and vanished from the realm.

Su Yuqing recalled her master’s usual demeanor before the people of Great Qi and fell into thoughtful silence.

“The You Clan?” Su Yuqing began examining the various materials her master had transmitted to her mind.

Meanwhile, Daoist Child Liuli kept looking around, eager to find where the path to breaking her limit lay.

...

Xuanhuang Realm.

Wang Xuanba had now returned underground in Yueyang Prefecture.

Lin Ling accompanied him.

Lin Ling toyed with the wheel-shaped treasure Li Ping had bestowed upon her, appearing somewhat indifferent toward the mission of subduing the Earth Vein Ancient Tree.

“Junior Sister, can we begin?” Wang Xuanba felt a bit intimidated by this stern-faced junior sister and asked cautiously.

“No rush. Let us wait a little longer.” Lin Ling shook her head.

“Wait? Wait for what?” Wang Xuanba asked in surprise.

In his perception, quite a few of the sixteen dormant swarms of insects had already awakened from their seals and were stirring restlessly.

“Master said to give it a chance. If it remains stubborn, it will not be too late to act then.” Lin Ling frowned slightly but still explained patiently.

“Then we will follow Junior Sister’s lead.” Wang Xuanba said with a grin.

The two stood quietly in the earth veins for a little while. Suddenly Wang Xuanba once again felt that vast consciousness belonging to the Earth Vein Ancient Tree sweeping around him.

But unlike before, this time the Earth Vein Ancient Tree did not ignore them directly and lingered for a long time.

Wang Xuanba glanced over and saw Lin Ling put away the wheel in her hand. Her expression turned serious.

It seemed she was conversing with someone.

Wang Xuanba did not interrupt their conversation. In truth his nerves were already taut. As soon as Lin Ling transmitted a thought, he would cooperate by activating all the [Dao One] insect swarms.

At first Lin Ling appeared to be chatting normally with the Earth Vein Ancient Tree. She even showed occasional smiles on her face.

But without warning Lin Ling’s expression changed abruptly.

She scolded coldly: “I thought of you as my kin, which is why I opened my heart to communicate with you just now. Yet why do you spout such nonsense and urge me to rebel?!”

“How could the methods of my master be something a mere rotten old tree like you could fathom!”

Upon receiving Lin Ling’s transmission, Wang Xuanba also gave a cold laugh. He then awakened the dormant insect swarm beneath Yueyang Prefecture here.

The black shadow surged like a flood after a dam burst, unstoppable and rushing forth.

Visibly, the surrounding yellow earth-vein currents were instantly dyed black. A sharp explosive sound came faintly from underground but was drowned out by the surging army of bugs.

“How does it feel to lose one tentacle?” Killing intent flashed in Lin Ling’s eyes.

“Severing thousands or hundreds of your tentacles would be easy for me.”

Wang Xuanba understood and cooperated by awakening the remaining fifteen swarms of insect, but he still kept them under control as a deterrent.

The entire Xuanhuang land trembled imperceptibly. This was caused by the Earth Vein Ancient Tree’s fear leading to a loss of overall control over the earth-vein currents.

A hunched old man’s phantom appeared before the two.

He looked at Lin Ling with fear on his face. At the same time his tone carried some anger as he questioned: “I acted with sincere goodwill. Why do you harm me?!”
