My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1156: The Resolution of Truth Foundation Establishment
So when Li Ping heard Master Yin’s insights on Foundation Establishment over there, Li Fan’s true body instantly became aware of it as well.
“Burying one’s past self entirely, to forge an infinite path into the future?”
Li Fan pondered in silence.
He suddenly thought of his [Truth] wondrous treasure.
From his previous act of “hundred lifetimes building a true foundation,” successfully incorporating a portion of [Truth] into a new method Dao base, it seemed that [Truth] had already fused with him as one.
“That means, if I wish to complete [Foundation Built Upon Oneself], I must encompass the complete [Truth] within it…”
The moment this thought arose, even Li Fan found it somewhat absurd.
When [Truth] activates, everything in the world turns from real to illusory in an instant, reverting to the recorded anchor point.
Even a True Immortal is no exception.
“After Master Yin achieved foundation built upon oneself, he can freely apply the remnant spectre laws of his world. By the same logic, if I succeed in Foundation Establishment…”
“No longer needing to rely on [Truth], ignoring restrictions like anchors, recharging, and so on: with a single thought, the world births and perishes, and I can return to any desired time node at will…”
“Such an ability.”
“There is probably no Foundation Establishment stage stronger than this, right?”
Li Fan shook his head inwardly.
“This creates a paradox.”
“If I possess such ability, why pursue any new New Method? Punching the Immortal Ancestor, stepping on the Faceless: these would be mere casual acts.”
“Without a special method to help me analyze [Truth]’s essence in advance, this path is essentially a dead end for me.”
“Sometimes, having too strong a foundation is not necessarily a good thing.”
Li Fan inadvertently glanced toward the location of the Museum of Divine Treasure.
During his earlier discussion with Master Yin, the other party had proposed a feasible method to steal Mr. Bai’s skull.
Lure the tiger from the mountain: trick Emperor Sanmo out of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters.
Then use a forged skull to replace the original.
“After Mr. Bai reversed heaven and earth at the cost of his own life, all spirituality in his body dissipated as well. It became no different from an ordinary mortal’s corpse bones.”
“Uh… except for being slightly harder in texture.”
“So as long as a skull identical to the original is forged, and it is swapped without damaging the restrictions, it might be possible to retrieve Mr. Bai’s skull unnoticed.”
“Though the theory is sound, in actual operation…”
Master Yin shook his head, and after that, he never mentioned it again.
But Li Fan had never forgotten.
As for Mr. Bai’s corpse bones having no anomalies, he was also very certain of this point.
Not only could the world’s remnant souls, like Master Yin, detect no peculiarities.
Even the Tianxuan Mirror, after appraising Mr. Bai’s rib bone earlier, had only given it the lowest price of 1 contribution point.
“But the skull is an exception.”
“With Mr. Bai’s eternal remnant will residing within, it cannot possibly be ordinary.”
“During the use of the eternal remnant will, [Truth] cannot be activated. The eternal remnant will also cannot be brought back to the next life for use. So…”
A glint of profundity flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
“The best method is still, like in the previous life when stealing the Xuanhuang Life Transformations changes, to create a relatively safe environment that others cannot attend to.”
“As for the lure the tiger from the mountain method, what exactly does Emperor Sanmo care about? Perhaps the answer can be found in the Fallen Immortal Realm.”
“And the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters being robbed, leaving them too preoccupied to pay attention…”
“The Immortal Ancestor conspiracy is exposed, forcing it to manifest in the world and drawing the gaze of the entire Xuanhuang Realm.”
A rough outline of the conspiracy instantly took shape within the original plan.
“With the Immortal Ancestor’s power that suppresses the world and is unfathomable even to gods and ghosts, forcing it to appear and explain itself through sheer strength is definitely unrealistic. The only way is to threaten the Xuanhuang Realm that he cares about…”
“But this time, I do not need to play the villain myself.”
On the chessboard, all the pieces were in place, awaiting Li Fan’s slow moves.
…
While Li Fan hid in a dark corner, plotting all sorts of unspeakable schemes.
The strand of his divine sense that he had split off and attached to Wu Ninglu earlier discovered something quite interesting.
Wu Ninglu was actually pregnant!
During her moments of focused cultivation, Li Fan’s divine sense carefully examined the fetus in her womb and confirmed that it was indeed the descendant of Sun Ang, the identity Li Fan had occupied.
“But it has been sealed with a secret method, halting its growth.”
“This woman is interesting too.”
After observing her for this period, Li Fan discovered that Wu Ninglu was not as ordinary and foolish as she appeared to Sun Ang.
Her marriage into the Sun family seemed to have another purpose.
Previously, the news of Sun Ang’s breakthrough to the Dao Integration realm had been accidentally leaked, forcing Sun Ang to undertake the task of guarding the Derivation Law Jade for five hundred years. That was all to get Sun Ang out of the way.
And all the benefits Sun Ang had sacrificed himself to obtain ended up benefiting this woman entirely.
She used those precious resources to cultivate with full effort.
Her progress in one month surpassed the past three years.
Li Fan’s divine sense even faintly sensed that, before long, she would break through to the perfection of the Soul Transformation stage.
And on this day, Wu Ninglu, who had been secluded at home in closed-door cultivation, finally revealed a flaw.
As if she had suddenly become a different person, Wu Ninglu walked toward the mirror in the room, her slender fingers continuously caressing her face.
Her gaze was dazed, yet it occasionally flashed with a trace of viciousness.
“Sister, your life is truly wonderful; your cultivation speed is even faster than mine…”
Wu Ninglu’s expression changed again, her smile vanishing: “Wu Ningju, have you gone mad? Possessing me at this time; are you not afraid of being discovered by the Sun family?”
She tried to keep her voice low, but her trembling body revealed the anger in her heart at this moment.
Wu Ningju took control of the body once more, still smiling brightly: “Sister, I am not as boring as you think. Without the Elder’s instructions, how would I dare to contact you so casually?”
“Listen carefully: We have received the latest news that within three months, that treasure will return to the Sun family. At that time, you need to find out the treasure’s hiding place.”
Wu Ningju’s voice grew softer and softer, eventually becoming barely audible.
Meanwhile, the now-normal Wu Ninglu’s face alternated between cloudy and clear, until she finally stomped her foot hard, as if she had made up her mind.
From beginning to end, Li Fan’s divine sense watched the entire scene and immediately became intrigued.
“The Sun family’s treasure? I have never heard of the Sun family having anything remarkable.”
The divine sense transformed into a thread and sneaked into Wu Ninglu’s sea of consciousness.
Although she had undergone training and had strong defenses against divine sense intrusion, how could she escape Li Fan’s deliberate assault?
Before long, Li Fan had found the answer he wanted.
This made him, who had only been idly bored and slightly interested before, become somewhat serious.
“It is actually something like the Kun-Qian Bone Hand, suspected to be an existence born from an immortal artifact?”
“This is getting interesting.”
The Sun family’s treasure also possessed the supreme might unique to legendary immortal artifacts.
