My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 866: The Shattering of the Xuanhuang Realm

As soon as the Stone Tablet Scholar spoke these words, Li Fan’s heart tensed to the extreme.

However, the current Grand Preceptor Li had already reached Dao Integration-level combat power. He was also armed with numerous great divine abilities, such as the Seven-Colored Jade Void Glimmering Light.

He was no longer someone who could be easily frightened by mere words.

Not even if the other party was a Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign!

Li Fan made a decision...

To further probe into the other party’s true intentions!

So, Li Fan feigned a mixture of doubt and surprise. "Transcending beyond the Xuanhuang Realm? What does that have to do with me?"

The Stone Tablet Scholar smiled. "Since you refuse to admit it, then let us take a look at what is recorded about you within the stone tablet."

A burst of azure light surged from the stone tablet behind him.

The aura of endless years emanated from the scholar's body. Around them, various images began to appear and swirl, as if they had fallen into the long river of history—unfolding scenes from the past within the Xuanhuang Realm like a grand painting being unveiled.

The scholar let out a muffled groan as his body began to expand.

His appearance and attire inexplicably shifted at a rapid pace.

One moment, he was a refined scholar.

The next, a sturdy woodcutter.

Then, an enchanting beauty.

At times, he was not even human—

Transforming into a towering tree, a delicate flower,

A bird soaring in the sky, a beast roaming the land…

Yet, the stone tablet behind him remained unchanged—its azure glow eternal.

Eventually, the images swirling in the surrounding light curtain began to stabilize.

Glowing brilliantly, a figure emerged—it was Li Fan!

However, it did not show the moment he flew out of the Great Xuan Realm.

It did not even display the moment he first entered the Xuanhuang Realm through a spatial passageway and went directly to Tianyang Cave Abode to subdue Tianyang.

Instead, the records began when he led Tianyang into Shilin Prefecture.

Discovered the entrance to the Spiritwood Realm.

Entered and exited, then later captured Shang Tianci in Jiushan Prefecture.

Found Mr. Bai’s secret chamber beneath Taihua Prefecture.

Returned to the Spiritwood Realm, and later emerged with Lin Ling, who had Dao Integration-level strength.

Completed a transaction with the Five Elders Association, and then headed straight for Tianling Prefecture’s Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven...

The images continued to shift.

However, Li Fan’s sense of vigilance eased significantly.

"Just as I expected."

"The Genesis Stone Tablet automatically records everything that happens within the Xuanhuang Realm, down to the finest detail. But… it only applies to the original Xuanhuang Realm!"

"One must understand—today’s Xuanhuang Realm is no longer what it used to be. It has merged with countless Cave-Heaven, small worlds, and even fragments of numerous other cultivation realms!"

"For these external additions, the Genesis Stone Tablet might not have any records at all!"

It was like a house—

The original Xuanhuang Realm was merely a small, standalone hut.

But over the years, countless cultivators had expanded it, making it many times larger than before.

At the beginning, the Genesis Stone Tablet, which was born alongside Heaven and Earth, had full authority to record everything inside the original hut.

But for these foreign lands, the Genesis Stone Tablet had lost its ability to record them!

The scene continued to shift.  

Just as Li Fan had anticipated, it was intermittent.  

The most crucial part was that the places he frequently visited—the Congyun Sea, the Spiritwood Realm, the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven—were all beyond the scope of the recorded images.  

As a result, most of the footage consisted of him traveling—constantly on the move.  

"So, what this scholar said—he came for me..."  

"Where did I make a mistake?"  

Li Fan's mind raced.  

The images displayed by the stone slate were fast approaching the present moment.  

Then, his clone, Ji Shaoli, suddenly appeared in the projection.  

The moment he entered Yongyun Prefecture, the images abruptly cut off.  

Afterward, Ji Shaoli left Yongyun Prefecture and headed straight for the Spiritwood Realm.  

The screen dimmed, and then it showed Li Fan advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. After leaving the Spiritwood Realm, he wielded the Seven-Colored Divine Light, swiftly fleeing across the regions.  

"Was it the Seven-Colored Divine Light that caught his attention?" Li Fan couldn't help but think.  

The next words of the Stone Tablet Scholar confirmed his suspicions.  

"I don’t really care whether that so-called Federation of All Worlds is real or fake."  

"What interests me more is where you obtained that Seven-Colored Divine Light in Yongyun Prefecture." The scholar's gaze was intense as he looked at Li Fan.  

"The energy level of this item is beyond what the remnants of the prefectural domains could possibly nurture."  

"Couldn’t it be that I comprehended this divine ability myself?" Li Fan countered.  

The scholar chuckled in silence.  

"I possess the Genesis Stone Slate. I am naturally very familiar with the aura exuding from your Seven-Colored Radiance. It contains power akin to the condensation of a world’s Heavenly Dao. If you truly had such capability, then the one asking questions here today would not be me."  

"It would be you instead," the scholar said indifferently.  

Though there was no intent to mock, the expression and tone he used made Li Fan snort coldly.  

Seeing Li Fan remain silent, the Stone Tablet Scholar continued, "Don't worry, I won’t take your belongings. Though this Seven-Colored Divine Light is indeed powerful, to me, it is nothing but a burden."  

"What I truly want to know is the place that gave birth to the Seven-Colored Divine Light," the scholar stated honestly.  

Li Fan narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean by that, senior? How can you be so sure that the Seven-Colored Divine Light was created by something? Couldn’t it simply be a singular treasure hidden within Yongyun Prefecture?"  

The scholar sighed.  

The surrounding light curtain suddenly turned pitch black.  

Then, a single point of seven-colored radiance emerged.  

In the darkness, it was incomparably dazzling and prominent.  

The scholar looked at Li Fan. "Do you understand now?"  

"Such a treasure, as long as it exists in the world, will always be like this—whether it has been refined or not."  

"A long time ago…"  

"Some people searched the entire Xuanhuang Realm thoroughly. Aside from that Tianxuan Mirror, no treasure above the level of a realm artifact remains in the world today."  

"Which means that your Seven-Colored Divine Light must have only recently appeared…"  

Hearing this, Li Fan's expression darkened.  

He hadn’t expected that, despite its incredible power, the Seven-Colored Divine Light would be so conspicuous in the eyes of truly formidable experts.  

Faced with the scholar’s inquiry, Li Fan’s mind raced, contemplating how to respond.  

After a brief moment, he made up his mind.  

Feigning great difficulty and hesitation, he finally let out a long sigh. "Forget it. I knew I wouldn’t be able to hide this matter forever."  

"Senior, follow me, and you will see for yourself."  

With that, he awakened Lin Ling, who had been standing frozen in shock, silently watching and not daring to speak.  

Then, he dove underground, heading straight for Yongyun Prefecture.  

Beneath the earth’s veins, the Stone Tablet Scholar followed unhurriedly, strolling as if he were taking a leisurely walk.  

Seeing this, Li Fan was secretly astonished.  

At the same time, he thought to himself, "No wonder in my previous life, despite having a treasure like the Fishing Pond, Zhong Shentong didn’t stay and guard it forever. Instead, he wandered around."  

"It must have been because he left Yongyun Prefecture and revealed the Seven-Colored Divine Light, which led this Stone Tablet Scholar to notice something amiss and track him down."  

"He was forced to relinquish ownership of the supreme treasure."  

"What a grave mistake."
