My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 829: Farewell, Senior Sister Zhao

"Compared to this, the Medicine King Valley of my past life was nothing more than a minor presence."

"Just this Wood-attribute Cave Heaven alone is enough to support the rise of a great power."

"Not to mention, there are still four other elemental Cave-Heavens."

Having arrived early in the Xuanhuang Realm and intercepted the discovery made by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, Li Fan felt immensely pleased with himself.

After taking a general tour, he proceeded to visit the Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water Cave-Heavens one by one.

Li Fan had once spent a long time in the Water-attribute Cave-Heavens.

But only now did he realize that what he had seen back then was merely a nearly emptied remnant.

Unlike now, where beneath the vast, thriving ocean, countless fish species thrived and multiplied.

An endless number of Water-attribute spiritual herbs and spirit mines filled the entire sea region.

Even someone as knowledgeable as Li Fan couldn’t help but marvel repeatedly.

The Metal-attribute Cave-Heavens was a vast, boundless underground world, filled with rare ore veins and metallic lifeforms.

The Fire-attribute Cave-Heavens was somewhat similar to the fire world on the other side of Great Li, though not as violent.

As for the Earth-attribute Cave Heaven, it was a continuous, unbroken expanse of mountain ranges.

…

After casually touring around, Li Fan felt satisfied but was also struck by a realization.

That was—the Five Elements Great Cave-Heavens were simply too vast.

If he wanted to devour them using his Golden Core cultivation to achieve the Nascent Soul stage…

It would take at least three to five years, if not more.

And that was assuming no one else discovered it, there were no interruptions,

And that the Five Elements Great Cave-Heavens themselves did not resist.

In reality, when something reached the scale of the Five Elements Great Cave-Heavens, even if it had not yet attained the level of a "Small World,"

It was already almost indistinguishable from an actual "world."

Li Fan still clearly remembered how, when they previously tried to set up the Tianxuan Spirit-Locking Formation to cover the entire Cave-Heavens again,

They were met with fierce resistance from the Cave Heaven’s consciousness.

Countless bizarre, endlessly spawning creatures were generated to launch relentless attacks.

Even with Lin Ling guarding him, he might not have been able to endure it.

"Being too greedy is also a problem," Li Fan couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Though difficult, he had no intention of giving up on the Five Elements Great Cave-Heavens.

His own cultivation didn’t matter as much.

The most crucial thing was ensuring that the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance did not get their hands on it.

Otherwise, it could introduce unpredictable variables into this era’s war.

"I’ll figure something out while I still have time before reaching the peak of Golden Core. If nothing else works, I’ll just have to take the slow and steady approach."

Li Fan lingered in the Five Elements Great Cave-Heavens for some time.

It was only when the appointed time with the Five Elders Association was approaching that he finally departed.

"If I can get help from two Dao Integration cultivators, I might be able to move the entrance of the Five Elements Cave-Heavens. But the commotion would be huge, and there’s a chance the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance could discover it."

After concealing the entrance once more, Li Fan left with these thoughts.

Once again, he relied on Lin Ling to travel through the earth veins.

Before long, the three of them silently returned to Jiushan Prefecture.

As they exited the earth veins, Li Fan surprisingly sensed a rare emotion of reluctance coming from Tianyang.

"Tianyang was created through the Earth-Fire Return-to-Origin Formation, so it seems the power of the earth veins holds some special significance for him."

"It might be useful for Lin Ling to take him around more often. The earth vein energy in the Xuanhuang Realm is unimaginably vast. Taking advantage of it shouldn’t be an issue—the Earth Vein Ancient Tree probably wouldn’t mind."

Thinking this, Li Fan gave Lin Ling these instructions.

Lin Ling had a favorable impression of Tianyang and agreed immediately.

Arriving at another location, Li Fan once again crushed a jade talisman, releasing a wave of energy.

Not long after, Yu Dayi hurried over.

This time, he didn’t bring a large entourage—only one other person accompanied him.

And the moment Li Fan laid eyes on this person, alarm bells rang in his mind.

He had clearly never met them before, yet from this person, Li Fan sensed an incredibly familiar aura.

The answer was obvious—this person was one of Senior Sister Zhao’s "United as One" incarnations!

However, Senior Sister Zhao did not appear in her usual female form this time.

Instead, she had taken the guise of a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old, extraordinarily handsome young man.

"So, this is the Daoist friend from the [Federation of All Worlds]?" He looked at Li Fan and asked with a smile.

His eyes swept over Li Fan, as if trying to see through all his secrets.

Li Fan felt a chill in his heart, but he remained calm despite the shock.

Senior Sister Zhao had many bodies, and the one before him was merely at the Soul Transformation stage.

Moreover, even a Immortal Ancestor could not be omniscient.

So, Li Fan was not too worried that his secrets would be exposed at a glance.

He composed himself, pondered for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and directly chose to "play the general."

"Heh, to think that even a Heavenly Sovereign would personally come. What an honor!" He revealed a strange smile and stared at Senior Sister Zhao as he spoke.

The smile on the young man’s face instantly froze.

Only now did he truly take a serious look at Li Fan.

Meanwhile, Yu Dayi, who stood to the side, seemed unaware of the true identity of the cultivator next to him. Upon hearing Li Fan’s words, he was momentarily stunned, looking somewhat confused.

But since he was a native cultivator of the Five Elders Association, he quickly put the pieces together.

His head suddenly snapped toward the young man, whose face now bore a playful smile, and his expression turned stiff.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Oh my, I’ve been seen through."

"How interesting. It seems that this so-called [Federation of All Worlds] does have some skill after all."

"I wonder… would you welcome me to join?"

The young man chuckled softly, but his voice carried the seductive charm of a woman.

It should have sent shivers down one’s spine, but to Li Fan, it didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

"Haha, actually, I’d like to join your Heavenly Sovereign’s Grand Dao Sect instead."

Li Fan quickly countered, showing no hesitation.

However, Senior Sister Zhao was not angered. Instead, she let out a charming laugh.

"If we merge together, that wouldn’t be impossible either…"

Yu Dayi, listening from the side, broke into a cold sweat, his legs turning weak.

He could only curse his misfortune for not being deaf—now he had heard a conversation of such unbridled recklessness from a Heavenly Sovereign.

At the same time, he mentally placed both the [Federation of All Worlds] and Li Fan into the category of people he must never provoke.

Li Fan gave an awkward chuckle but did not respond.

Instead, he shifted the topic and got straight to business.

"Where is the item we need?"

Senior Sister Zhao casually tossed over a piece of [Voidbright Stone Mother].

Li Fan caught it skillfully and examined it.

It was exactly as listed on his request—no discrepancies.

He stored it away.

"Aren’t you afraid that I might have tampered with it?" Senior Sister Zhao suddenly asked in a ghostly tone.

"Senior Sister, you are upright and honorable. You wouldn’t do such a thing." Li Fan replied confidently.

At this, Senior Sister Zhao’s expression completely shifted.

"Since you personally came, I’ll offer you an extra piece of top-secret information for free."

"The Samantabhadra True Leaves can be used to craft Divine Vessels, allowing one to travel through the White Mist without suffering the effects of its essence-draining properties."

Li Fan transmitted his voice directly to her.

Then, without waiting for a response, a green light enveloped him—he vanished on the spot.

Yu Dayi dared not move an inch.

"A woman’s thoughts are truly hard to predict."

Before long, only Senior Sister Zhao’s light laughter echoed through the air.
