My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1304: Return to [Truth] Truly Changes

Li Fan originally should have been unable to embark onto the path of cultivation.

Back when he traveled from Great Xuan to Liuli Island, merely the hurdle of removing the immortal-mortal miasma within his body had almost completely severed his path to cultivation.

Fortunately, with the dual support of the Xuanhuang Clear Heart Mantra and the Spiritual Pool of Body Purification, he was finally able to begin true cultivation.

And at the moment he shed the miasma throughout his body, the Xuanhuang Clear Heart Mantra officially transformed into the Xuanhuang Heart Refining Mantra.

The Xuanhuang Mantra thus became his alternative Dao Foundation, accompanying him throughout his entire cultivation life.

As Li Fan’s cultivation grew higher, the Xuanhuang Mantra Dao Foundation expanded alongside it. Like pillars, they became an important part supporting Li Fan’s cultivation.

And in the previous life, after Li Fan spread the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra on a large scale, the consequence was that these Dao Foundation pillars...

Became weakened because they were divided among too many.

His true body’s Dao Foundation was not solely the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra, but also [Truth], as well as the experience and knowledge accumulated through a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation. Therefore, the impact on him was negligible.

But the negative effects caused by this extraction were naturally amplified in clones and divine sense incarnations. The weaker the separated body, the more severe the effect.

It was not only Li Fan who was affected by the widespread transmission of the Immortal Heart Mantra.

Even the Immortal Heart Mantra itself became significantly weaker because of this spread.

This could be seen from the performance of the Qingxuan Army and the Great Qi Imperial Guard, both of whom cultivated the Immortal Heart Mantra in the previous life, during the great war.

They barely managed to remain calm in crisis, but compared to the orthodox Immortal Heart Mantra’s effect of enduring a thousand lifetimes of calamities while the immortal heart remains unchanged, they fell far too short.

The difference became even clearer after Li Fan returned to this life through [Truth] and alone monopolized the Immortal Heart Mantra.

“Techniques cannot be cultivated simultaneously...”

“It seems this is not merely the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm suppressing abrupt evolution among cultivators. Rather, it is some tradition originating from the Immortal Realm, deeply branded into the depths of the Xuanhuang Realm.”

“Hm, perhaps this is not solely related to techniques being impossible to cultivate simultaneously. It may also be closely tied to the office of the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.”

Without question, the Immortal Heart Mantra that Mr. Bai passed down to the world to offset and reverse the power of the Xuanhuang inverse principle had its origin in the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.

The Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable, appointed by the Immortal Realm, wielded immortal artifacts and supervised Xuanhuang.

Within the Xuanhuang Realm, he possessed supreme authority.

However, becoming this Great Celestial Venerable of the Immortal Realm was far from easy.

Not only was there a colleague known as the Watcher secretly restraining him, but inheriting the office of Great Celestial Venerable also meant inheriting the restrictions and punishments imposed by the Immortal Realm upon the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable. Ṙ₳ƝO͍ꞖΕ𝓢

Only after [Truth] brought him back to this life and Li Fan reviewed matters did he remember Sun Tianci, who had been burned to ashes by heart fire.

“Even though the Immortal Path is now severed, the Immortal Realm’s countermeasures still remain effective.”

“The Immortal Heart Mantra’s inability to spread on a massive scale is likely one of the many restrictions the Immortal Realm imposed upon the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.”

Li Fan then recalled what happened after Sun Tianci successfully inherited the office in the previous life.

“The Great Sun Golden Bell, the Vast Void Azure Lamp, the Purple Qi Dreamweaving Shuttle, the Primordial Five Elements Wheel.”

These four were the only immortal artifacts remaining among the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable’s inheritance.

There was also a condensed mass of immortal spiritual qi, originating from those immortal artifacts that Mr. Bai had detonated.

“After completing the trial of the Fallen Immortal Realm, there is still a probationary period before truly becoming the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.”

“Before the Immortal Path was severed, this probationary period was actually the time spent waiting for review and appointment from the Immortal Realm.”

“After the Immortal Path was severed, appointment from the Immortal Realm became empty talk. However, according to the procedures established by the Immortal Realm, if there was no response within three years, the review automatically passed. Generally speaking, unless one encountered something like Sun Tianci did, such as the destruction of the Xuanhuang Realm, then simply waiting quietly for time to pass would grant the full authority of the Great Celestial Venerable.”

“And before that...”

The immortal artifacts within the Great Celestial Venerable’s inheritance could not be used at all. This was also one reason why Sun Tianci in the previous life was so easily persuaded by Li Fan’s divine sense incarnation.

Faced with the threatening Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor, the newly inherited Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable simply lacked the power to resist.

“According to Sun Tianci, none of these immortal artifacts bestowed by the upper realm contain artifact spirits. The lower realm Xuanhuang Celestial Venerable lacks immortal spiritual qi, and can only rely on the restrictions left behind by the Immortal Realm, consuming the immortal artifacts’ own energy to activate them.”

“In a sense, they are completely disposable consumables. By the time Mr. Bai gathered them one by one, these immortal artifacts had already been used countless times. Exactly how much power remains is hard to say.”

“But they are immortal artifacts after all. Leaving them buried deep within the Fallen Immortal Realm unused would be nothing less than letting treasures gather dust. In this life, I still must retrieve them. Not to mention that pure mass of immortal spiritual qi.”

Only after personally using immortal spiritual qi to establish the world extermination immortal formation did Li Fan truly understand the strength and transcendence of immortals.

Within his sea of consciousness, the Final Dissociation Disc emitted unusual seven colored radiance.

Within that glow, a true immortal formation was being continuously deduced without pause.

Immortal formation birth, immortal formation operation, immortal formation destruction.

During the world extermination process of the All Things Return to Void Formation in the previous life, the Final Dissociation Disc had collected abundant formation data. It was as if it had truly undergone a transformation between immortal and mortal. Now it could spontaneously deduce immortal formations according to Li Fan’s needs, just as it once deduced mortal formations.

Even though the deduction speed was extremely slow, and the burden on the Dissociation Disc was tremendous.

Under the orderly management of the Dissociation Disc’s simulated personality, it would not affect Li Fan’s normal cultivation.

At present, the main direction of the Final Dissociation Disc’s immortal formation deductions was immortal formation downgrading.

The goal was to slightly reduce formation power in exchange for allowing lower grade energy sources to activate it.

Immortals and mortals were fundamentally different. Li Fan had no means of creating immortal spiritual qi on a large scale. Even if he obtained some from the Great Celestial Venerable inheritance, it would still be insufficient to support his plans in this life.

But source power essence, infinitely close to immortal spiritual power, was for Li Fan practically inexhaustible.

If he could make immortal formations operate using source power essence, it would save him tremendous trouble.

Even if the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor returned to the Xuanhuang Realm, he could easily control the situation.

There would be no need to painstakingly create a Holy Emperor clone to confront them.

Within the world extermination immortal formation of the previous life, Li Fan had already seen clearly the true strength of the Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor.

With those established power benchmarks, he could create immortal formations with confidence.

“As long as I do not drive them into a desperate corner, with an immortal formation as leverage, getting them to sit down and have a proper discussion should not be difficult.”

Li Fan recalled the transparent figure that appeared after the Immortal Ancestor’s body was annihilated.

At the time, the world-exterminating storm had been too chaotic. He had not been able to see clearly.

But he had vaguely sensed a familiar aura from that transparent figure.

“If I get the chance in this life, perhaps I can verify it.”

When a True Immortal descends, everything in the Xuanhuang Realm is like ants.

Cat Treasure made one leap, and even the phantom of a True Immortal was no meal on its plate.

The gap between the Xuanhuang Realm and beyond the High Wall was obvious.

But that did not mean everything within the Xuanhuang Realm had become worthless.

When Li Fan had been merely a mortal Grand Preceptor, the gap between him and Xuanhuang Longevity Immortal realm was no different from the current gap between the Xuanhuang Realm and beyond the High Wall.

Yet after one hundred and twenty six lifetimes of reincarnation, the once mortal Grand Preceptor had become someone who could use Xuanhuang Longevity Immortal as a chess piece.

So what if beyond the High Wall could hunt True Immortals?

Give Li Fan another one hundred and twenty six lifetimes, and perhaps he too could use True Immortals as chess pieces.

However, beyond the High Wall remained completely unknown territory to Li Fan for now.

And with his current strength, he still could not set foot there.

So everything still had to proceed step by step, according to plan.

...

As he pondered this, Li Fan completed another carving of Cat Treasure.

Sweeping over the area with his divine sense, he confirmed that over the past three years, he had completed carving 9,999 wooden statues.

They filled the wooden hut, further compressing the already cramped space.

A wisp of flame suddenly rose from Li Fan's fingertip, and he flicked it toward the pile of Cat Treasure wooden carvings.

Boom!

The flame surged violently, instantly transforming into a blazing inferno.

Yet it only burned the Cat Treasure wooden carvings and did not spread throughout the wooden hut.

The wooden carvings vanished within the flames, with no black smoke, not even ashes.

In the blink of an eye, all 9,999 wooden statues were swallowed by the fire, completely disappearing from the world.

As if they had never existed at all.

Li Fan quietly watched the great fire slowly die out.

The countless reflections of Cat Treasure in his eyes gradually disappeared along with the fading flames.

After standing motionless for a long time, Li Fan shifted his gaze.

He looked toward the [Truth] panel.

Light flickered and danced, reflecting those incomparably familiar characters.

...

[This simulation has ended]

[You may choose one of the following options to retain:

One item currently possessed by yourself during this simulation.

,

Your cultivation realm during this simulation.

,

The simulated memories of one person closely related to yourself during this simulation. These memories can be inherited by that person.

,

Abandon the above choices to accelerate the charging progress.]

,

After this passage of text, which he no longer knew how many times he had seen, there was now an entirely new prompt.

Li Fan's gaze narrowed slightly.

[New interfering variables detected. An additional retention choice may be selected for this simulation.]

Compared to the previous text, this line was somewhat different.

Instead, it was exactly like the final scene [Truth] displayed in the previous life.

Flickering unsteadily, with a much faster flashing frequency than the normal [Truth] notifications.

And being able to choose two items to retain was something unprecedented.

"New interfering variables..."

Having already waited for three years, Li Fan was in no hurry.

Just like before, he did not make a choice immediately.

Instead, he began thinking with extreme caution, carefully contemplating this line from [Truth].

Ever since discovering that it could devour wonders of heaven and earth and Cave Heaven worlds to increase [Truth]'s anchor charging progress, Li Fan had understood that [Truth] seemed to grow through something akin to feeding, by devouring objects useful to it.

Wonders of heaven and earth, Cave Heaven worlds, Eternal Remnant Wills, even Li Fan's own experiences...

All of these were among the objects that interested [Truth].

Of course, once [Truth] devoured something, it would never be interested in it again.

So Li Fan was certain that even if he encountered forces beyond the High Wall again in this life, if there were no other substantive gains, [Truth]'s extra reward would not appear again.

Li Fan did not particularly care about this additional selection opportunity.

If he truly wanted it, at worst he could simply reincarnate one more time to obtain it.

What Li Fan truly cared about was [Truth]'s attitude.

Without exception, only when [Truth] genuinely gained some benefit would it provide a reward in return.

Yet this time, merely sensing these so called new interfering variables had caused [Truth] to generously grant an extra reward...

In Li Fan's view, this sudden generosity was nothing less than temptation.

Guiding and enticing Li Fan to explore beyond the High Wall.

It unquestionably indicated that beyond the High Wall, there absolutely existed objects that [Truth] was extremely interested in, or perhaps found immensely useful.

As the fundamental trump card behind all his growth until now, if [Truth] could undergo some kind of change, Li Fan would undoubtedly be the greatest beneficiary.

So how could he not be tempted?

But just as with his previous decision, beyond the High Wall lay dangers at every step, requiring long term planning.

"With only myself, setting foot beyond the High Wall is truly difficult."

"But the Xuanhuang Realm has already proven its potential through many reincarnations."

"If I can enlist the help of the countless living beings of the Xuanhuang Realm, things will undoubtedly be much easier."

The first step in leaving the Darkest Star Sea was gaining the ability to cross the High Wall.

Just achieving that prerequisite alone would likely require many attempts.

After all, the High Wall had trapped the living beings of the Darkest Star Sea for ten thousand years. Mr. Bai's plan to cross it by detonating immortal spiritual qi was merely speculation.

As for the rumors in the star sea about the Heavenly Sword Sect, the demon race, and even the Ten Great Immortal Sects having once crossed worlds and departed, there was no substantial evidence proving they had succeeded.

If one were to say that during these ten thousand years, with the Immortal Path severed and the High Wall standing tall, some force within the Darkest Star Sea had truly crossed it...

Then perhaps there was only...

[Shang Immortal Ark].

Li Fan's eyes flashed with the shocked expression of the Holy Embryo from the previous life when hearing this matter from Ai Tianjue.

"They intend to pilot the Shang Immortal Ark and crash into the High Wall, attempting to break out of this star sea." Ai Tianjue's tone was strange.

After the initial shock, the Holy Embryo could not help but ask, "Then did the Shang Immortal Ark succeed?"

Ai Tianjue remained silent for a long time before finally speaking with a complicated expression, "If they had not succeeded, why would the Xuan Immortal Ark have treated the words [Shang Immortal Ark] as a taboo for a thousand years?"

"They... succeeded?" The Holy Embryo was endlessly shocked, his heart trembling.

"The Xuan Immortal Ark and Shang Immortal Ark were originally one entity. Whether they were completely destroyed in the collision or successfully escaped, there would naturally be some awareness."

"The Shang Immortal Ark still exists, and it is beyond the High Wall." Ai Tianjue sighed.

"It is precisely because of the Shang Immortal Ark's success that our Xuan Immortal Ark clearly understood that the power of [Immortal] may be the only way to escape this Darkest Star Sea. But even when the star sea was flourishing, searching for immortal artifacts was already exceedingly difficult. Let alone after the collapse of the star sea."

"Fortunately, after the great calamity, the entire ruined star sea became filled with remnants of the power of True Immortal seal script. That was when our Xuan Immortal Ark began researching this power."

...

All that had happened within the Xuan Immortal Ark flashed through Li Fan’s mind.

“The Shang Immortal Ark still exists. It lies beyond the High Wall.”

Li Fan repeatedly savored this sentence.

He did not believe that, in the life before, under such a desperate life-and-death situation, Ai Tianjue would still have deceived him.

So the Shang Immortal Ark’s escape should be true.

“There is still a mutual connection between the Xuan Immortal Ark and the Shang Immortal Ark.”

“If a method to cross the High Wall can be found, then by relying on this connection, one can travel to the Shang Immortal Ark.”

“With the Shang Immortal Ark as a bridgehead, establishing a foothold beyond the High Wall should become much easier.”

Because of the original split, the Xuan Immortal Ark possessed no records that could help in crossing the High Wall.

What held value within the Xuan Immortal Ark should be the secret archive known as the Immortal Compendium of Hundred Tales, as well as its research into True Immortal seal script.

“Xuanhuang. Immortal Ark.”

“With the power of these two worlds, forge a bridge across the High Wall.”

“Then drive the countless beings of Xuanhuang to scout the road ahead for me.”

A vague plan gradually took shape in Li Fan’s heart.

With this goal as the endpoint of the current phase, there was still much Li Fan needed to do.

First, increase his own strength.

Even if he would one day have an immortal formation protecting him, Soul Transformation cultivation under the Xuanhuang cycle of birth and change would still be far too inadequate. Li Fan urgently needed greater strength to face the Immortal Ancestor, the Heavenly Doctor, True Immortals, and even the forces beyond the High Wall.

The battle in the previous life between the Holy Emperor, the Immortal Ancestor, and the Heavenly Doctor had already shown him the path ahead.

Someone like the Holy Emperor, borrowing the fortune of the Holy Dynasty and the favor of heaven, was ultimately inferior to the Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor, whose great power belonged wholly to themselves. Although both had reached the upper limit that this star sea could endure, it was obvious that the actual combat strength of the Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor far surpassed that of the Holy Emperor.

“I am still constrained by the Immortal Ancestor’s New Method. Cultivating directly within the star sea may not necessarily suit me.”

“The most practical method…”

Li Fan’s eyes flickered.

“Immortal power spreads, Xuanhuang ascends. Let the Immortal Spirit of Heaven and Earth merge with my soul and body.”

In the previous life, the Holy Emperor’s imitation of heaven and earth, and the New Method he taught to all living beings, indeed seemed to point directly toward the Great Dao.

Using the Foundation Establishment through Oneelf, Primordial Unity Golden Core, Corporeal Nascent Soul, Consciousness Soul Transformation, Star Sea Dao Integration...

And finally, Dao Resonance Longevity.

Merely thinking about it stirred one’s blood.

During the first three years of this life, whenever Li Fan recalled it, he always felt its mysteries were boundless.

But the same problem remained.

Though the New Method was excellent, it was only theoretically viable. In fact, there was not yet a single cultivator in the world who had truly cultivated according to the New Method up to the Primordial Unity Golden Core realm.

Li Fan possessed the supreme treasure [Truth]. Even the very first step, using Oneself for Foundation Establishment, was as difficult as ascending the heavens.

Not to mention the higher realms that followed.

By comparison, the Immortal Ancestor’s path suited Li Fan far better.

Previously, New Method cultivators lamented, “Before us, the path to immortality lies ahead, yet it cannot be trodden. for the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor stands above” because in the Xuanhuang Realm of that time, the upper limit of New Method cultivators had already been fixed.

Even the Longevity Immortal realm, across the entire Darkest Star Sea, could hardly stir any waves.

But times were now different.

After thousands of years of uninterrupted labor by the Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor, the current Xuanhuang Realm could be said to have gathered all the surviving essence of the remnant worlds within the star sea.

Not only had its scale expanded dozens of times, but in the previous life, under the stimulation of immortal spiritual qi, Li Fan had also seen the vast vitality hidden deep within every prefecture, poised but not yet unleashed.

As the future homeland in the Heavenly Doctor’s plan, the Xuanhuang Realm’s potential had never truly been fully awakened.

The current Xuanhuang Realm’s Dao Integration was indeed limited in strength. But after the Xuanhuang Realm’s future ascension, that might no longer be the case.

“The student surpasses the master. Ice comes from water, yet is colder than water,” Li Fan softly murmured.

“Who says the Grand Preceptor’s authority must necessarily be inferior to the Emperor’s?”

Once the Xuanhuang Realm was nourished by True Immortal qi, as it ascended, the laws of heaven and earth, and everything born within the world, would undergo transformation as well.

Li Fan had watched this process with absolute clarity in the previous life.

“And that was with the overwhelming majority of immortal qi being used on the Grand Formation, All Things Return to Void. If all that immortal qi were instead fed back into catalyzing the Xuanhuang Realm itself, then the Immortal Spirit of Heaven and Earth born from it would surely be unprecedentedly powerful…”

“By using that for Dao Integration, I might even be able to wield immortal qi.” Li Fan silently deduced.

Before Li Fan, every cultivator of the Xuanhuang Realm, aside from the Immortal Ancestor, had been feeding on the flesh and blood of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Their cultivation and foundations were all built upon the Xuanhuang Realm itself.

No matter how thoroughly they tempered the principles of heaven and earth, they could never exceed the upper limit of power the Xuanhuang Realm itself could provide.

What Li Fan intended to do was first force the upper limit of Xuanhuang to skyrocket, and only then carry out Dao Integration.

“Perhaps the uncontrolled ascension of the Xuanhuang Realm could even shake the very foundation of the Immortal Ancestor...” Li Fan’s gaze shifted slightly as he deduced something.

It was still that earlier prison metaphor.

The Longevity Immortal cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm had dismantled the prison’s support beams and replaced them with themselves, integrating into the prison.

What Li Fan intended to do was expand the prison itself.

After increasing its scale severalfold, only then would he carry out the act of replacement.

The Longevity Immortal indeed possessed near-complete control over the old prison. But if the prison’s size suddenly expanded several times over...

Then he would face the risk of losing control of the Xuanhuang Realm.

“This plan has another advantage.”

“Based on my understanding of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, as long as I do not reveal even the slightest intention of using the Immortal Spirit of Heaven and Earth for Dao Integration, it will not regard me as an enemy. It may even secretly assist me.”

“After all, I would be helping it complete its ascension.”

“And only with the assistance of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao can I conceal everything from the Immortal Ancestor and Heavenly Doctor outside the starry sky without anyone noticing.”

“By the time they realize something is wrong and try to return, the immortal formation laid in advance will be enough to stop them.”

Li Fan pondered his plan for a while, then nodded slightly.

Aside from raising his own cultivation realm, there were also external means to enhance his combat strength.

For example, True Immortal seal script characters.

In his previous life aboard the Xuan Immortal Ark, Li Fan had comprehended five entirely new True Immortal seal script characters.

Although they were not complete True Immortal seal script characters, but imitations reconstructed by the Immortal Ark cultivators.

They were still more than sufficient to deal with the Star Sea Supreme Beings.

In truth, Li Fan’s greatest harvest regarding True Immortal seal script characters in his previous life had not come from the Xuan Immortal Ark.

It had come from the Derivation Law Jade.

The True Immortal seal script character within the Derivation Law Jade’s memories was different from the pure destructive force permeating the star sea.

A thought stirred in Li Fan’s mind, and he flashed beyond Jieli Mountain, above the sea of clouds.

Although he only possessed Foundation Establishment cultivation, with his physical strength and spiritual energy condensed.

He used his hand as a brush and completed it in a single stroke.

An incomparably profound character collapsed the very moment it appeared.

This was because Foundation Establishment cultivation was insufficient to support the display of its true might.

But at the very instant this True Immortal seal script character appeared in the world.

A sudden clap of thunder rang out across the Great Xuan small world.

There were no dark storm clouds, yet rain began to fall, covering the entire small world.

It was originally the depths of winter, but under the nourishment of the rain, it gradually became as warm as spring.

Li Fan even sensed faint traces of spiritual energy emerging within heaven and earth, from some unknown source.

This was different from the artificial creation produced through Dao One Insects.

Although this spiritual energy was thin, it was naturally evolved by the small world itself.

Li Fan stood high above the ninth heavens, watching the changes of vitality within the Great Xuan small world under the rain.

What surprised him even more was that the world consciousness of the Great Xuan small world seemed to be in the process of gestation.

Because there had been no spiritual energy, Great Xuan previously had no Heavenly Dao consciousness at all. Or rather, Great Xuan’s Heavenly Dao consciousness had been so weak that even Li Fan could not detect it.

Yet under this casually written True Immortal seal script character from Li Fan, the Great Xuan small world had undergone changes in just a few days that might otherwise have required tens of thousands of years to accumulate.

“Where exactly does this power of evolution come from?”

Li Fan’s gaze swept across the Great Xuan world, yet he could not find its source.

“There is no forceful acceleration, no overdrawing of the small world’s potential.”

“It seems to arise from nothing…”

“This perhaps can be called [Creation].”

Li Fan froze slightly.

That True Immortal seal script character surfaced once more in his mind.

“Creation…”

He repeated those two words continuously in his heart.

That True Immortal seal script character suddenly seemed to come alive, moving and shifting of its own accord.

Becoming slightly different from what it had been in his memory.

Yet it was still far from its true form.

“Creation!”

A sharp light flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.

An irresistible urge surged within him, the desire to continue probing the mysteries of Creation.

But very quickly, Li Fan remembered something, and clarity returned to his eyes.

He directly suppressed that greed.

“It can be used.”

“But attempting to comprehend it…”

“May bring unknown danger.”

A trace of understanding flashed through Li Fan’s mind.

This True Immortal seal script character, possibly called Creation, was clearly even more precious than characters such as Chaos and Hunger. In the Derivation Law Jade’s memories, even True Immortals had fought fiercely to seize it.

Even though the Immortal Path was severed, Li Fan could not guarantee whether somewhere in the star sea. A True Immortal might still be comprehending this Dao.

Whoever had ultimately seized the Dao of Creation and made it their own during the great war among the True Immortals, their strength could well be imagined.

A mere High Wall might not necessarily be able to stop them.

After witnessing the great horrors beyond the High Wall in the star sea, Li Fan had become increasingly cautious.

Even against a hypothetical enemy who most likely did not even exist, Li Fan held no trace of wishful thinking.

“If, during the Xuanhuang Realm’s transformation, it were also supplemented with the power of Creation…”

Li Fan looked down at the Great Xuan small world currently undergoing heaven shaking transformation, and before his eyes seemed to appear the Xuanhuang of the near future.

If True Immortal seal script characters represented the limit of external power Li Fan could borrow.

Then the limit of Li Fan’s own divine abilities still lay with [Truth].

“When the true becomes false, the false also becomes true.”

Aside from using it to create the all purpose existence known as Simulated Personality, an almost omnipotent artifact spirit.

What moved Li Fan even more was the transformation between truth and falsehood.

At this moment, he had not yet inherited his cultivation.

Yet within Li Fan’s sea of consciousness appeared the Soul Transformation cultivation he had once possessed, cultivated using the life transformation changes of heaven and earth during the destruction of the Xuanhuang Realm as material.

He silently recalled and comprehended it.

As if that cultivation had never disappeared with the activation of [Truth].

Standing motionless in midair, an unknown amount of time passed.

Suddenly, Li Fan opened his eyes.

An immensely powerful aura abruptly descended upon him.

The Great Xuan small world seemed to sense something, and heaven and earth trembled because of it.

But the abnormal phenomenon lasted for only an instant.

Very quickly, the disturbance vanished.

The clouds were light, the wind was gentle, and everything seemed as if nothing had ever happened.

Li Fan, however, revealed a faint smile.
