My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1153: Immortal Heart Falls to the Mortal Realm

It was not that Li Fan deliberately concealed that person’s figure.

Rather, the mysterious figure appearing at the bottom of the Chizha Abyss was too powerful. The environment at the abyss’s base, where the laws were already unstable, simply could not accommodate the existence of such a realm.

As a result, from the outside, everything appeared blurred.

However, based on the aura inadvertently revealed by that figure, Li Fan was more than half certain that the person was the Immortal Ancestor Heavenly Sovereign.

“But compared to the impression of a weathered old man, he seems younger. What’s going on here?”

The Holy Embryo Li Fan fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Shang Shaojun also snapped out of his contemplation and transmitted his voice: “I know a way to summon the Heavenly Sovereign back, but relying solely on this vague image…”

“It’s not enough. We need more evidence.”

“Even with just the two of us, we cannot directly present the collected evidence to him. Convincing him would be incredibly difficult.”

Hearing Shang Shaojun’s apprehension, Li Fan smiled and responded: “Shaojun, there’s no need to be overly pessimistic. You and I may be weak on our own, but in the vast Xuanhuang Realm, we can surely find like-minded allies.”

“We can gather evidence while seeking trustworthy individuals to strengthen our cause.” In his words, Li Fan already implied teaming up with Shang Shaojun.

“But the Chizha Abyss…” Shang Shaojun still hesitated.

Li Fan immediately spoke with a serious tone: “As the saying goes, if the skin is gone, where will the hair attach? If the entire Xuanhuang Realm falls into crisis, what use is it for you, Shaojun, to suppress the abyss and ensure its stability?”

“Besides, I’ve already thought of a perfect solution to suppress the abyss’s demonic sounds even if you travel far.”

As they spoke, the two had returned to the entrance of the abyss.

Li Fan’s eyes narrowed, and a giant sword, seemingly forged from tens of thousands of distinct sword lights, instantly materialized across the abyss.

Pointing into the void, the giant sword danced nimbly with Li Fan’s movements.

Correspondingly, strands of continuous dark red threads were sliced apart.

Freed from the constraints of the original world’s rules, these threads should have scattered chaotically and then dissipated.

Yet, under the motion of Li Fan’s hand waving in the air, they slowly gathered together.

Silently, they wove into a massive red net!

Witnessing this, Shang Shaojun’s heart trembled slightly once more.

Though not as awe-inspiring as the mysterious figure effortlessly manipulating a broken world, Li Fan’s casual act of weaving the broken laws of the world into a net was enough to demonstrate his extraordinary mastery of the Dao.

“The reason why the Demonic Sound Tide is so difficult to guard against is due to the conflict between the laws of the Broken World and the Xuanhuang Realm, all concentrated in this narrow region, too intense without any buffer. So, I slightly altered the spatial structure here, delaying the fusion of laws to the greatest extent possible.”

“In fact, that mysterious figure could have easily done this, concealing their tracks so no one would notice anything unusual. Yet, they did not. Perhaps this is a form of confidence,” Li Fan said, shaking his head slightly.

“With the buffer of this web of laws, the power of the Demonic Sound Tide’s outbreak is expected to be reduced by half.”

As Li Fan spoke, he gently pinched his fingers, transforming the giant sword in the abyss back into countless rays of sword light.

Countless sword shadows, following a certain pattern, soared like dragons, faintly forming a formation.

Shang Shaojun saw the sword formation spiraling around the outer edge of the web of laws, its center seemingly forming a massive vortex.

The dark red embers overflowing from the web of laws were occasionally drawn into the sword formation.

“This formation, with the sword intent to annihilate everything, shatters the broken laws accumulated in the Chizha Abyss. It can extend the cycle of the Demonic Sound Tide’s outbreak by more than double.”

“Shaojun, you may command the sword cultivators of the Qingxuan Army to come here. Not only can they comprehend the sword intent condensed in the formation, but they can also help charge the formation.”

Speaking calmly, Li Fan had already laid out a solution to the Demonic Sound Tide, which the Qingxuan Army feared.

Shang Shaojun looked at the formation and the web, speechless.

Since childhood, those around him had called him a genius.

But in front of Li Fan…

“Truly, one mountain is always higher than another. I was too shallow before.”

With his worries resolved, Shang Shaojun had no reason to refuse Li Fan’s company.

The two returned to the Eternal Immortal Fortress and announced that the Demonic Sound Tide had been temporarily suppressed, eliciting thunderous cheers from the Qingxuan Army.

Then, Shang Shaojun gathered his trusted aides and passed down the method to control the formation, which Li Fan had named the “Sound-Extinguishing Sword Formation.”

With all matters arranged, before departing, Shang Shaojun privately summoned Yan Huan.

“Rest assured, Shaojun. The technique deduced by the Derivative Law Jade is very effective. The brothers who occasionally lost their sanity have rarely had relapses recently,” Yan Huan replied respectfully, bowing his head.

…

From their conversation, Li Fan also learned why Yan Huan had urgently used a precious Derivative Jade Token to seek the Derivation Law Jade’s deduction of a technique.

The Qingxuan Army, stationed outside the Chizha Abyss for years, was subtly influenced by the Demonic Sound. Some soldiers became mentally unstable, even turning their blades against their comrades in frenzied acts.

In the past, the number of affected individuals was small, and dealing with them was relatively easy.

But over time, nearly one-fifth of the Qingxuan Army in the Broken Palm Immortal City had contracted this strange affliction.

Not long before the Holy Embryo Li Fan arrived, a large-scale outbreak had occurred among the Qingxuan Army.

The casualties were heavy.

The most unbearable part was that they did not die from the Demonic Sound Tide but at the hands of their own brothers.

The Qingxuan Army’s morale was low, and their unity was shaken.

With no other choice, Shang Shaojun used his hard-earned Derivative Jade Token to request the Derivation Law Jade to address the issue.

“The ‘Heart-Forging Demon-Repelling Technique’ allows practitioners to help others strengthen their Daoist heart and expel malevolent thoughts from their minds. Though it can only address one person’s affliction at a time, making it less efficient, it is indeed effective. The recovered soldiers even seem to have developed some resistance to the Demonic Sound,” Shang Shaojun explained to Li Fan.

“How does this Heart-Forging Demon-Repelling Technique compare to the secret technique I taught you, Shaojun?” Li Fan asked.

Shang Shaojun was momentarily stunned, then blurted out, “It is far inferior!”

“Then, Shaojun, why not pass down the ‘Immortal Heart Mantra’ to prevent everyone from suffering the Demonic Sound’s torment?” Li Fan said with a compassionate expression, transmitting his voice.

Shang Shaojun’s eyes widened, his heart trembling.

“The Immortal Heart Mantra…”

He finally learned the name of that supreme secret technique, and the words “Immortal Heart” sparked endless thoughts in his mind.

While shocked by Li Fan’s generosity, Shang Shaojun felt reluctant to share such a secret technique with others so freely.
