My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1130: Inferior Version of the Sky-Patrolling Arrow
All the empire’s research achievements have backups stored here.
Li Fan strolled through this vast treasury, walking all the way to the end, to the location of the Myriad Beast Furnace, before finally turning around.
He took out an object and showed it to the two of them.
It was a mere palm-sized disc, yet the pressure it casually emanated caused Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong’s bodies to tremble; they even felt an uncontrollable urge to kneel.
“This is?”
They forcibly suppressed their bodies’ instincts and looked at the disc in Li Fan’s hand, their faces filled with horror: “The Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel?”
With their lives and deaths in the other’s single thought, this sensation immediately reminded them of that legendary supreme treasure of the demon beast race.
However, after staring intently at the disc for a long time, they still noticed something amiss.
As demon beasts, their bloodline memories contained the memories of their ancestors regarding the Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel. But clearly, it did not match the object in Li Fan’s hand.
The true Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel had an even more ancient and profound aura. As for the one before them…
It did indeed have some controlling effect over them. But if they resisted with all their might, they might not be unable to break free. It was still a far cry from the rumored absolute control over life and death.
“A replica?”
The thought arose simultaneously in Qing and Hong’s minds as they looked at Li Fan with shock and uncertainty.
“You guessed correctly. It is precisely the replica crafted by the Federation Elders, based on the research materials on the Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel that you provided earlier.”
“Besides restraining the Ten Thousand Beasts, it has another function, which is also the main purpose of my visit here this time.”
Li Fan suddenly sighed: “Although the destruction of the Spiritwood Realm resulted in minimal personnel losses, our escape was too hasty, and many precious materials and research data were not brought out in time. So, after reflecting deeply on the matter, the Elders decided to activate the multi-world backup plan, copying and preserving everything of value from each small world…”
Before Li Fan could finish speaking, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong’s expressions had already changed.
But Li Fan continued calmly: “This is also for your own good. After all, your empire’s self-defense capabilities are truly too weak; the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance could dispatch just one or two Dao Integration cultivators and utterly destroy you.”
“Leaving a seed of civilization in the Federation of All Worlds means that even if something unforeseen happens, reconstruction can happen swiftly.”
Li Fan fiddled with the disc in his hand and looked toward the countless frozen exotic beast specimens in the empire’s treasury: “Your greatest wealth is actually all these various exotic beasts that you have nurtured over the years. I know you keep more than one backup of each; I am only taking one of them.”
With that said, without regard for Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong’s reactions, a beam of light shone from the disc, sweeping over these frozen exotic beasts. All those illuminated vanished in an instant from their spots.
And on the disc in Li Fan’s hand, faint phantoms of those exotic beasts seemed to appear.
It appeared as if these frozen exotic beasts had been absorbed into it for preservation. In reality, they had long been directly decomposed by the disc’s light beam. At the same time, information on their structures, bloodlines, tissues, and so forth had all been recorded into the disc.
“All the demon beasts under heaven originate from [Emperor Yi]. And the empire’s exotic beasts are all derived from the demon beasts of old, nurtured and evolved. As the saying goes, no matter how it changes, it stays true to its roots; as long as this information is mastered, all exotic beasts can be ‘conjured’ out of thin air.”
As the recording of exotic beast information increased, the phantoms on the disc grew more numerous. Not only did the aura it emanated become more majestic and powerful, but even the disc’s own form changed because of it.
It became increasingly similar to the true Ten Thousand Reincarnation Beast Wheel in Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong’s memories.
And during the process of collecting the exotic beast backups, Li Fan could not help but marvel at the wonders of creation.
Aside from some exotic beasts that were directionally and deliberately nurtured, the birth of the vast majority of exotic beasts in the empire basically originated from all sorts of coincidences. Different bloodlines intertwined and mutated, giving rise to new species that mutated into different offspring.
As if endless.
“Infinite possibilities.” Suddenly, before Li Fan’s eyes appeared the words spoken by the Emperor Yi Beast in the Fallen Immortal Realm.
When Li Fan was about to, as usual, absorb the information of a frozen exotic beast, he suddenly stopped. Because from this exotic beast, he sensed a familiar aura.
“Sky-Patrolling Arrow…”
Seeing Li Fan’s actions pause and his gaze fall on that spot, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong immediately understood.
They hurriedly explained: “This exotic beast is precisely the core of the arrow that the superior emmisary previously instructed us to research. We named it [Sky-Splitter]. Back in the Beast Taming Sect, we once saw similar demonic beasts, but they were far less ferocious and swift than this one. Moreover, it had stronger self-awareness and was difficult to control. The offspring we have currently nurtured still fall short of the parent body that the superior emmisary entrusted to us. So we have not reported it yet.”
After a thorough search, Li Fan indeed found similar kin to the Sky-Splitter exotic beast nearby.
“The core is insufficient, but I can compensate with a formation. Even if it cannot reach the destructive power of the true Sky-Patrolling Arrow from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, having half of that would still be extremely practical.” With this thought, Li Fan absorbed the information of all these Sky-Splitter exotic beasts into the round disc.
…
His thoughts returned to the present.
That round disc, which bore the essence of the empire’s research, was naturally the [Ten Thousand Beast Condensation Crystal].
With the artifact-refining level of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, plus the detailed and specific data on the Ten Thousand Beasts Reincarnation Wheel obtained from Xu Ke, creating a replica was not a difficult task.
“Condensing exotic beast entities from the Ten Thousand Beasts Condensation Crystal requires a massive amount of spiritual power. With my current Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivation, I cannot sustain it. But as long as we wait for Sun Erlang to pilot the Taiyan Boat back from the Xuanhuang Realm, it will be fine. With the Dao One Insect, plus Sky-Splitter, Great Xuan would possess the capital to conquer other small worlds.”
To head to the Dark Realm, one needed the You Clan people to initiate a special ritual.
Do not think that in his previous life, Li Fan easily suppressed the You Clan people; that was because he possessed the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven, and his true combat power surpassed ordinary Dao Integration experts.
In this life, Li Fan, already ensnared in the True Immortal’s Web, could not easily elevate his own realm. Relying solely on the Great Xuan Realm, the You Clan people were not so easy to deal with.
Therefore, it was necessary to enhance the combat power of Great Xuan’s soldiers and civilians as much as possible, as well as to elevate Li Fan’s own [Heavenly Emperor Qi Classic] to a higher level.
Li Fan stood atop the [Saint Emperor Seat], beginning to contemplate suitable targets for conquest.
One month later, Sun Erlang successfully piloted the Taiyan Boat back.
This also marked the first step in Great Xuan’s ascension to a spiritual energy world.
With the successful forging of the first Heaven and Earth Furnace, spiritual energy began to diffuse within the boundaries of Xuan Capital City.
The Great Xuan Imperial Army was the first to sense the existence of spiritual energy.
Overnight, the over a hundred Imperial soldiers who bore the [Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra] all successfully drew Qi into their bodies, thereby stepping onto the path of cultivation.
And among them, the outstanding one, Sun Erlang, even leveraged the might of the [Sitting Immortal Art] to directly advance to Qi Refining completion in one go.
