My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1058: Mutated Spiritual Energy

However, based on past experience, activating the Chaos Character Script in the Xuanhuang Realm would inevitably draw the attention of the Immortal Ancestor, summoning him back from the void.

With the Immortal Ancestor personally suppressing the Xuanhuang Realm, hardly any chaos could arise.

All manner of ghouls and monsters had to temporarily avoid its edge, so Li Fan generally would not consider such means.

In this seven-colored space, besides the two creations mentioned above, there was a third, relatively more mature world-destroying scheme.

That was to launch reinforced small flying bodies toward the Immortal Ruins.

These flying bodies were modeled after the principle of the Tianyang Body’s puppet transformation, resembling living creatures.

Aside from the portion that flew toward the Immortal Ruins to attract the attention of the immortals within, another half of the individuals existed in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Once they entered the Immortal Ruins, they would act like the gaze of a human peeking in, alerting the Immortal Ruins immortals.

The immortals would then trace the connection between the flying bodies, crossing the void to lock onto the Xuanhuang Realm.

Thereby achieving the effect of annihilating the world with a single glance.

Just as Li Fan had unintentionally done before.

Beyond these three, everything else was still in the research and development stage. They were theoretically feasible but had not yet been truly tested.

For example, in the [Root of Heaven and Earth] space in Tianling Prefecture, severing all the crisscrossing lines representing the principles of heaven and earth in the Xuanhuang Realm. Destroying the cornerstone of the Xuanhuang world, causing the world itself to naturally decay and collapse.

Another example: mass-producing artifacts containing the divine ability of [False Misconversion of Heavenly Dao] and spreading them across the Xuanhuang Realm. This would inevitably cause chaos in the operation of heaven and earth. Filled with erroneous heavenly dao commands, they might even overwrite the original mechanisms that truly needed to be executed for the world’s operations. Thereby causing worldwide turmoil. Subsequently, the Xuanhuang Realm should undergo a certain degree of self-adjustment. It might even trigger another drastic change like [Incompatible Cultivation].

…

Li Fan still held the origin of the Tianxuan Mirror and, with his highest-level authority, could eagerly access the sealed archives of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The various calamities and disasters that had befallen the Xuanhuang land in the past had long been forgotten by people due to the divine power of the Carefree Heavenly Sovereign. Only Li Fan retrieved them and regarded them as treasures.

The various world-destroying measures in the [World Destruction] space were now the only key Li Fan had to contend with powers at the Longevity Immortal realm or even above.

As the sole surviving pure land in the darkest star sea to this day, the existence of the Xuanhuang Realm was the prerequisite for cultivators’ survival.

Mastering the methods of world destruction meant holding the bargaining chip to negotiate with everyone in the Xuanhuang Realm.

It was not only useful in this life. As long as Li Fan had not left the Xuanhuang Realm for a single day, this place remained crucial to him.

So Li Fan simply split off a Holy Embryo, then used the Faceless True Immortal stone statue and bestowed cultivation to forcibly elevate the Holy Embryo to the Golden Core realm. This was sufficient to support its research work in the [World Destruction] space.

Carefully reinforcing the seven-colored divine light seal around the area, Li Fan then quietly departed from this place.

He arrived in the empire’s small world.

Due to the fusion with the Spiritwood Realm, the world itself had undergone some subtle changes. A large number of exotic beasts in the empire, unable to adapt to this drastic shift in heaven and earth, had died off one after another.

The remaining ones, in a listless state, had taken nearly two or three years to slowly regain their spirits.

In the heart of the empire, where the former Imperial castle once stood, a dome-shaped building now rose.

That was the experimental site established by the Federation of All Worlds in the empire.

The [Dao One Insect], capable of synthesizing spiritual energy, had undergone three generations of improvements, and its efficiency in generating spiritual energy had nearly doubled.

Moreover, the probability of mutations causing the Heaven and Earth Furnace to fail had been greatly reduced.

Now, a single Heaven and Earth Furnace could stably and continuously release spiritual energy for a hundred years.

It basically met the needs of the Federation of All Worlds.

Five years had passed, and the overall spiritual energy concentration in the fused Spiritwood Realm was no longer inferior to that of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Of course, this was also due to the Xuanhuang Realm being too vast.

The work focus of Xiao Qing, Xiao Hong, and others in the empire had shifted to coordinating the fusion of the empire’s small worlds with the Spiritwood Realm.

As for the imperial daughter, Li Fan had assigned her a different task.

In the dome laboratory, the imperial daughter was intently staring at the countless Dao One Insects in the space before her, dense like a black mist.

She did not even notice Li Fan’s quiet arrival.

Li Fan glanced at the experimental records.

“Ancestral Dao-One Insect Variant, Seventy-Sixth Test.”

“After fusing with the fission fungus, although this variant’s lifespan is greatly shortened, its reproduction efficiency has increased by more than a hundredfold.”

“According to calculations, under sufficient resources, a single Dao One Insect can expand its population to the billion level in just seven days.”

“Key Record Information: The spiritual energy produced by this type of Dao One Insect can be absorbed by cultivators, and initially causes no abnormalities. But if the absorption exceeds half of the body’s stored spiritual power, it will subtly influence the cultivator. The cultivator will become more irritable and more aggressive.”

“More critically, it creates a certain dependence on the mutated spiritual energy. They will feel that normal spiritual energy is not [refined] enough.”

…

Li Fan looked at the detailed experimental information recorded by the imperial daughter and nodded in satisfaction.

The imperial bloodline was indeed derived from Xu Ke’s Holy Embryo blood transformation, passed down through generations. The imperial daughter had perfectly inherited Xu Ke’s talent.

In these five years, many experimental projects she led had achieved good breakthroughs.

Especially the research on Dao One Insect variants.

The spiritual energy produced by Dao One Insects underwent many subtle changes in these variants. This new one, which made cultivators more irritable, was just one example. Previously, there were those that made cultivators lazy and lost their drive for progress. Or ones where the spiritual energy concentration was too high, causing a “drunken spirit” effect after absorption. If absorption continued, it could even cause irreversible damage to the cultivator’s mind.

Such variations were countless.

These mutated spiritual energies could not destroy the Xuanhuang Realm. But they could, to some extent, transform cultivators.

Making the cultivators in a certain area uniformly adopt a fixed personality.

Li Fan was truly interested in this path.

After sealing the data on this new variant and over a hundred sample insects into his own Cave-Heaven, Li Fan awakened the imperial daughter, who was still immersed in her research.

“Greetings superior emmisary!” A trace of tension flashed in the imperial daughter’s eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her head in salute.

“How is the progress on searching for the Holy Emperor?” Li Fan asked.

“We have already ruled out half of the small worlds. No trace of the Holy Emperor has been found yet. It is estimated that in at most five more years, we can explore all the remaining worlds and ultimately pinpoint the Holy Emperor’s hiding place,” the imperial daughter answered truthfully.
