My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 994: Those Who Seek the Dao with Utmost Sincerity

From the currently known information, the golden vow power, also known as the Myriad Spirits Nector, is the remnant of the traces of the Great Dao sought by the Faceless True Immortal.

As the saying goes, born with desires, pursuing the Dao unceasingly until death.

The golden vow power, absorbed by Li Fan's Calamity Body before was merely pure energy, without any belief of "pursuing the Dao" within it.

But the golden vow power generated from Dao Xuanzi's feedback at this moment actually made Li Fan sense an extremely subtle desire to seek the Dao.

Even after being filtered by the stone statue and having most of it intercepted, the remaining residue stood out like a bright moon in the sky among all the golden vow power. As a result, Li Fan clearly detected it the instant it was generated.

"Those who seek the Dao with utmost sincerity obtain immortality. As expected from the guy who fought his brother to the death for a cultivation technique and chased him all the way into the Immortal Forbidden Land."

"He appears so carefree on the surface, yet his heart's pursuit of the Dao is so resolute."

The desire to pursue the Dao in the golden vow power only existed for a moment before vanishing in an instant.

Li Fan felt as if he had lost some supreme treasure, and his heart suddenly felt empty.

However, soon after, as the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra automatically circulated, this inexplicable sense of loss was quickly crushed.

"Having obtained the Canghai Pearl, Dao Xuanzi's future in this life is promising. And even though Kou Hong knows the information about the other Earthly Wonder, the [Hundred Thousand Great Mountains Cauldron], he is not in a hurry to go there. Instead, he patiently accompanies Dao Xuanzi until he successfully rebuilds his foundation. These two brothers do have some genuine affection."

"Perhaps I can take better care of them in the future..."

The small interlude ended, and Li Fan's attention returned to the bamboo sea in Tianquan Prefecture before him.

Silently, Lin Ling and the other two had already infiltrated the bamboo sea under the cover of Li Fan and Mo Rubin, setting up the ambush formation inside.

They only needed to wait for Xuan Sushang to take the bait.

With the great enemy approaching, among the group, only Lin Ling appeared somewhat tense. Tianyang was wooden, and Daoist Hundred Flowers was, after all, a longevity Immortal cultivator who had survived the ancient great calamity and was well-versed in the world. As for Li Fan and Mo Rubin, they already regarded this Scarlet Snow Immortal Sage as something in their pocket.

Time passed slowly, and not long after...

Two streaks of rainbow light arrived one after the other, breaking through the air and landing outside the bamboo sea.

The bamboo sea's protective formation activated, and two rows of eighteen female cultivators in red long skirts emerged in sequence to greet them.

But those two figures did not even glance at them, heading straight into the bamboo cave mansion.

"Hm? Lu Xichan? Why did she come along too?" Mo Rubin was somewhat surprised but not panicked.

However, he still looked at Li Fan, seeking his opinion: "Do we have a grasp on this?"

As he spoke, he transmitted the general information about Lu Xichan.

Lu Xichan was a disciple of the previous generation's chief formation master of the Formation Hall, Lu Xia.

Her life resume seemed ordinary and smooth sailing, succeeding her master.

But in the entire process of power inheritance, to achieve complete calm without any waves was enough to demonstrate Lu Xichan's extraordinary abilities. R𝙖𐌽ŐꞖЁⱾ

Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded: "Nothing to fear. Capturing one Dao Integration is a grab, capturing two Dao Integration is also a grab; no difference."

"However, Lu Xichan is, after all, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's chief formation master. Using this capture formation derived from the [Lifeless Formation Crown] you provided, there might be a risk of it being broken. If reinforcements arrive then, it would be troublesome."

"I hope this [Lifeless Formation Crown] is reliable."

Li Fan suddenly changed his tone.

Of course, this was just to deceive Mo Rubin. The ambush formation set up in the bamboo sea at this moment was, in terms of complexity and layers, above the Tianxuan Spirit Locking and Xuantian Spirit Sealing Formations, leading by at least one generation.

Although Lu Xichan's formation dao level was top-tier in the Formation Hall, she absolutely had no chance of breaking the formation in a short time.

This could be seen from the fact that she had already entered the formation yet remained oblivious to the hidden dangers within, as if nothing was amiss.

The reason for saying this was merely to conceal the origin of this ambush grand formation.

Mo Rubin did not suspect anything and pondered for a moment before saying: "Even if she breaks the formation, it will take time. We just need to fight quickly and decisively, capturing her before she finds the formation's flaw."

As he spoke, in front of the cultivator that Mo Rujun possessed, a gray line-like mirror surface seemed to appear out of thin air.

Gloomy light flashed, and in just a moment, another cultivator identical in appearance appeared.

Then the mirror surface continued to emerge: two became four, four became eight, and only then did it stop.

From beginning to end, there was not the slightest fluctuation of aura.

Lin Ling and the other two, seeing this scene, were all dumbfounded.

And Li Fan sensed the eight people in front of him; each one was a living cultivator, and he could not distinguish any difference.

"When the battle starts, I will use these bodies to provide as much assistance as possible."

"But it cannot last long..."

Mo Rubin transmitted.

After Xuan Sushang and Lu Xichan entered the bamboo sea, they rested in one of the bamboo buildings within. To avoid alerting the enemy, Li Fan and the others did not spy. They only ensured that the two were inside, waiting for Shuo Feng's arrival.

And Shuo Feng considerately did not keep everyone waiting long.

As scarlet snowflakes slowly drifted down in the bamboo sea, Shuo Feng's figure gradually became clear from blurry.

He glanced at the nearby bamboo building, his face full of resentment.

But ultimately, he did not dare show it in front of his mother. He took a deep breath, and his expression returned to calm as water.

He slowly walked to the front of the bamboo building.

"Mother..." Shuo Feng slowly said.

"Hehehe, Feng'er is home. Come in quickly; your Aunt Lu is here too." Xuan Sushang's voice, carrying a hint of laughter, came from the bamboo building.

It did not sound like a mother's, but rather like that of a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl.

Shuo Feng pushed open the door of the bamboo building and entered.

The gazes of Xuan Sushang and Lu Xichan both focused on Shuo Feng in an instant.

At this moment...

A stern shout like thunder resounded through this bamboo sea.

"Brother Shuo, rest assured; your little brother will definitely help you persuade your honored mother and return your freedom!"

As soon as Li Fan said this, not only did Shuo Feng, Xuan Sushang, and the others pause slightly.

Even Mo Rubin, Lin Ling, and the rest were momentarily confused.

"Act!" Fortunately, Li Fan's transmission came quickly.

Lin Ling and the other two swiftly took their positions, and the grand formation laid by the four Dao Integration beings was instantly complete.

Mo Rubin also did not hold back; the eight identical bodies exploded with a boom.

From each body flew out a blurry black figure.

Then the shadows expanded, enveloping the entire bamboo sea in an instant.

"Hehe, Feng'er has some prospects now..." At first, after a brief daze, Xuan Sushang still maintained a faint smile.

She thought it was Shuo Feng gathering a group of fair-weather friends to rebel.

After all, he had done such things before.

But as the formation unfolded and the shadows blotted out the sky, Xuan Sushang's expression soon changed drastically. She realized that the might of this ambush was not something Shuo Feng could orchestrate.
