My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1250: Stone Tablet Falls into the Pond

The old Daoist hesitated for a moment, but ultimately walked slowly to stand before the Faceless Holy Emperor.

Compared with Li Ping’s massive body of three zhang and three chi, the hunched Daoist appeared like an infant.

Li Ping gently placed his palm on Ruomu’s head.

Boom!

The scene before Ruomu shattered in an instant.

In a flash, he seemed to leave the lifespan refining space.

He arrived in an endless dark starry sky.

A golden vortex, like a galaxy, swirled majestically.

In the center of the galaxy, the towering figure of the Faceless Holy Emperor could be vaguely seen.

That powerful and sacred aura seemed even stronger than the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao that Ruomu was familiar with.

As one of the oldest existences in the Xuanhuang Realm, Ruomu naturally understood what this power represented.

The last trace of dissatisfaction in his heart slowly disappeared.

Ruomu revealed his original form. He was no longer the ugly old human Daoist, but a small, withered yellow sapling that looked malnourished.

Before the vast golden vortex galaxy, he appeared like an ant.

His branches and leaves swayed gently, expressing Ruomu’s submission.

The figure of the Faceless Holy Emperor rapidly expanded, instantly filling Ruomu’s entire field of vision.

The golden galaxy also exploded with a roar.

Endless starlight submerged Ruomu.

When Ruomu awakened from the illusion, Li Ping’s figure had already disappeared.

“Wait patiently.”

“When you are needed, you will be summoned.”

Only Li Ping’s voice continued to echo in his mind.

And Li Ping’s original promise was not broken.

Ruomu clearly felt that his bond with the Xuanhuang Realm was slowly recovering.

Although returning to his peak from back then was already impossible.

At least there was now something to look forward to.

Moreover…

Ruomu looked at his own palm.

In addition to the original green leaf, a small green bottle had somehow appeared.

It was clearly left behind by the Faceless Holy Emperor before he departed.

A method to manipulate the restrictions naturally emerged in his mind. Ruomu followed the instructions and opened the small green bottle.

A pure surge of vitality emerged from the green bottle.

Although it could not compare to direct nourishment from the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, for Ruomu in his current state, it was an absolute great tonic.

Ruomu greedily swallowed all the vitality from the green bottle in one gulp.

Only when not a single drop remained did he reluctantly stop.

However, Ruomu noticed that the vitality inside the small green bottle had not completely disappeared.

It was slowly regenerating on its own.

What surprised Ruomu even more was that the generation of this vitality did not draw any energy from the outside world.

It was as if the vitality was completely derived by the green bottle itself.

“Truly a fine treasure.”

Ruomu smacked his lips rather ungracefully.

“It does not seem to be an object from the Xuanhuang Realm.”

Ruomu pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly.

“Why worry about so much? As long as there is food and drink, it is fine.”

“It cannot be worse than before.”

Only after losing something does one realize how precious it once was.

If anyone tried to seize these things again…

Then even if the other party was the Immortal Ancestor, Ruomu would dare to bite back twice.

The Earth Vein Ancient Tree was also within the net of source power essence cast by the Faceless Holy Emperor.

Therefore, after Ruomu surrendered, the Earth Vein Ancient Tree faintly sensed something. However, it could not be certain and could only feel growing unease day by day.

“Now I am a subordinate of the Holy Emperor and enjoy his protection. Surely He would not dare do anything to me?” The ancient tree could only comfort itself in this way.

The Earth Vein Ancient Tree clearly understood that in this world, probably only the Holy Emperor could preserve its life.

The more useful it was to the Holy Dynasty, the safer it would be.

Thus, the Earth Vein Ancient Tree was eager to prove its value to the Holy Emperor.

Unfortunately, ever since arriving in the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi, it seemed to have been forgotten. No one had come to seek it out.

Even the previously assigned task of organising the earth veins of the Great Qi small world had not been inspected by anyone.

This left the Earth Vein Ancient Tree quite depressed.

However, on this day, the opportunity for the performance it had been waiting for finally arrived.

The visitor was the Holy Emperor’s fifth disciple, Ou Shangtian.

“Is this the schematic diagram of the Xuanhuang Realm’s earth vein currents?”

Ou Shangtian pointed at the image ahead and asked.

It was densely packed, resembling a vast underground net that extended to every corner of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Like blood vessels within the human body, they continuously contracted and pulsed. The sight appeared rather eerie.

The Earth Vein Ancient Tree nodded and said: “Young Revered sees clearly.”

Ou Shangtian seemed quite pleased with the ancient tree’s flattery and readily accepted the title of “Young Revered.”

“I heard from Senior Sister Lin Ling that when traveling within the earth vein currents, the power of the Xuanhuang Realm’s Heavenly Dao naturally conceals them, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect. Is that correct?” Ou Shangtian asked again.

“Indeed.” The Earth Vein Ancient Tree extended a withered branch. “Young Revered, please examine it.”

Ou Shangtian felt the earth vein current power surging within the withered branch and frowned slightly: “I see nothing particularly remarkable about this. How can it shield others’ perception?”

The Earth Vein Ancient Tree smiled faintly: “Young Revered must understand that sand gathers to form a tall tower, and water droplets converge into rivers. A single point of earth vein power may seem insignificant. But when the earth vein currents of the entire Xuanhuang Realm converge, they become vast and mighty, carrying the force of thunder.”

“After all, the circulation of earth veins is also an important part of the normal operation of the Xuanhuang Realm. This old one merely holds temporary authority over it. Compared with the boundless principles of the entire Xuanhuang Realm, ordinary cultivators are no different from ants and are naturally overlooked.”

Ou Shangtian stared blankly at the schematic diagram of the earth vein currents and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he came back to his senses, returned the earth vein withered branch, and instructed: “Perfect. This time I am going out to carry out the task assigned by Master, and I may need your help.”

The Earth Vein Ancient Tree had been waiting for exactly this. Upon hearing the words, it rejoiced greatly: “Young Revered may command freely. I will certainly assist with full sincerity.”

“There is a senior in the Xuanhuang Realm whose strength is unfathomable and who carries a stone tablet on his back… Do you know of him?” Ou Shangtian looked at the Earth Vein Ancient Tree and asked.

The Earth Vein Ancient Tree’s expression changed abruptly. Its previous eagerness vanished in an instant.

It stared at Ou Shangtian in disbelief and only after a long pause asked tentatively: “Young Revered, is the Holy Dynasty planning to make a move against Senior Stone Tablet?”

“Forgive my bluntness, but the Stone Tablet is a genuine Longevity Immortal realm expert who has attained the Dao for many years.”

Ou Shangtian waved his hand somewhat impatiently: “I naturally know the strength of that so-called Stone Tablet. Longevity Immortal realm!”

“Compared with Master, it counts for nothing!”

“Rest assured. I am merely responsible for luring him to a specific location.”

Hearing Ou Shangtian say this, the Earth Vein Ancient Tree finally relaxed slightly.

That mysterious and unfathomable Faceless Holy Emperor had already subdued its father. Dealing with this Stone Tablet should not be a big problem.

The ancient tree became invigorated: “Young Revered, may I ask how I should cooperate?”

Ou Shangtian explained the detailed plan. The ancient tree pondered and nodded, indicating that there was no major issue.

“Time is short. Once I have met with Master, I will set off immediately.”

The ancient tree replied: “My main body remains in the Xuanhuang Realm. As long as Young Revered summons me, I can manifest at any time.”

Ou Shangtian hurriedly entered the Holy Emperor’s hall.

When he emerged, the anxiety on his face had completely disappeared.

“I possess the Kun-Qian Bone Hand and the protection of the Seven-Colored Jade Void Glimmering Light. Moreover, I have received treasures bestowed by Master this time and have studied formations for such a long time.”

“I only need to lure him to the Fishing Pond, and the task will be complete. There should be no major problem.”

“However, isn’t the Fishing Pond a treasured land of our Holy Dynasty? Why does Master instead ask me to lead a great enemy there? Is he not afraid of any accidents?”

Ou Shangtian pondered but could not understand.

In the end, he could not be bothered to think about it further. He left the Great Qi small world and headed straight for Nine Mountain Prefecture of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

Relying on the surging earth vein currents, in just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had already arrived within the borders of Nine Mountain Prefecture.

Ou Shangtian tested it and indeed found that the spatial laws here were somewhat chaotic and fragile.

If he rashly used instant movement techniques, he might directly tear space and be sucked into spatial turbulence, disappearing without a trace.

“However, flying poses no problem. These nine mountain peaks may trouble ordinary cultivators, but they cannot trouble me with the seven-colored divine light.”

Thinking this, the Seven-Colored Jade Void Glimmering Light, under his deliberate control, formed a protective ring around his body. Like a great sun in the high sky, it continuously radiated its own rhythm outward.

With a slight thought, a set of armor emitting the same seven-colored luster suddenly appeared on Ou Shangtian’s body.

Master’s words rang in Ou Shangtian’s ears at the same time: “This object is called the Flowing Light Armor. It is refined from nine heavens lightning and morning mist neon. Once worn, flying speed can rival lightning. It can also ignore the vast majority of attack methods.”

Ou Shangtian tested it.

Gazing at the peak of the mountain range ahead, in just a single moment of daze, the next instant he had already arrived at the summit.

“So fast!?” Even the instigator Ou Shangtian could not help feeling alarmed in his heart.
