My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1191: Secretly Weaving the False Immortal Net
The sounds of devout prayer echoed throughout the underground secret chamber.
They resembled ancient ballads, eternal and mysterious.
These people were naturally the You Clan people.
Under the joint efforts of several of Li Ping’s disciples, nearly all of the You Clan people had been captured and brought into the Great Qi small world.
Li Ping knew that the existence behind the Dark Sea did not mind its believers holding other faiths as well.
Thus, after threats and incentives, and finally demonstrating in front of the entire You Clan that coexistence was truly possible, these You Clan people quickly adapted to this new way of life.
Some even developed a faith toward the Holy Emperor that was firmer and more fervent than their faith in the Dark Sea.
After all, at the critical moment when their entire clan faced extinction, the Dark Sea had shown no divine miracles. Yet the destined Holy Emperor truly distributed large quantities of supplies to everyone at regular intervals.
In the darkness, listening to the You Clan people chanting in unison, Li Ping felt specks of golden source power being generated within his body.
“With only a hundred You Clan people, the faith power they condensed already surpasses that produced by all the citizens of Great Qi combined.”
“What secret exactly is hidden within the You Clan people…”
Li Ping had already sent the corpses of some You Clan members who dared to resist over to Yin Shangren for research.
“It just so happens that his research on the new new method has also reached a bottleneck. Switching to a different research topic might spark some unexpected inspiration.”
Of course, Li Ping was not particularly concerned about the true cause behind the You Clan’s special physique.
Whatever the cause, as long as it could be used by him, it was fine.
His figure flickered, and Li Ping arrived at another enclosed area near the prayer space.
“Xuanba, how is the research progressing? Can the transplanted flesh promote the fertility of the You Clan people?”
Wang Xuanba, who had been concentrating intently and staring ahead, hurriedly withdrew his gaze upon hearing his master arrive.
He respectfully saluted and then reported: “After multiple experiments, I have already found the optimal combination of exotic beast flesh.”
“I have named it the Life Origin Embryo.”
“As long as there is sufficient male and female essence, it can cultivate a large number of young at an extremely terrifying speed.”
“However…”
“After all, they are not gestated within a mother’s body. These young are congenitally deficient. Not only are they extremely frail when born, but their expected lifespan probably will not be very long either.” Wang Xuanba said very cautiously.
Unlike the previously simple and robust youth, the current Wang Xuanba had a slender figure.
Having received Li Ping’s meticulous guidance and then personally devouring large amounts of exotic beast flesh to master many of their abilities, his current understanding of exotic beasts had even surpassed Li Ping’s.
After learning that his master was troubled by the You Clan’s low fertility rate, he volunteered to help ease his master’s burden.
Thus, he had created something as shocking as the Life Origin Embryo.
It was entirely composed of pink, wriggling exotic beast flesh, with numerous sealed chambers inside.
Countless pipes connected these chambers to the main body of the Life Origin Embryo.
While solving the energy supply for the gestating child bodies within them, it also allowed the Life Origin Embryo to absorb the characteristics of the large number of child bodies it was nurturing.
“This is a win-win process. Every time a new child body is nurtured, it becomes increasingly intelligent and powerful.”
“Although this progress is very slight, it can be accumulated through quantity, thereby achieving the expected transformation within the anticipated time.”
“If my prediction is correct, the Life Origin Embryo may no longer even need male and female essence in the future and will be able to create life on its own. As long as there is sufficient energy.”
When speaking about exotic beasts, Wang Xuanba’s tone was filled with confidence even in front of his teacher.
Li Ping’s gaze pierced through the darkness and landed on the massive “flesh mass” in the distance that continuously pulsed as if breathing.
“I only need the quantity that can work for me at the same time. As for lifespan…”
“If they die, I will simply create new ones.”
The Holy Emperor’s words were filled with coldness. Upon hearing them, Wang Xuanba felt no discomfort in his heart.
After all, in his eyes, these headless You Clan members were actually no different from those exotic beasts and could hardly be considered human.
“You must keep everything here strictly confidential. This includes even your senior and junior brothers.”
“Disciple understands.”
Wang Xuanba replied in a deep voice.
After Li Ping left, he resumed his research work.
Compared with handling the complicated affairs of the outside world, he still preferred these pure and simple matters.
In just a few years, the once burly youth from beneath the Jieli Mountain had already undergone such a massive change in his life trajectory.
However, among all of Li Ping’s disciples, Wang Xuanba was not the one who had changed the most.
Wang Xuanba’s conduct still faintly showed traces of his former self.
The one who had changed completely, becoming an entirely different person, was Li Ping’s fifth disciple, Ou Shangtian.
After following his father to Great Qi and being accepted by Li Ping as a direct disciple, he transformed from his previous silent, wary, and unconfident self into the confident and proud youth he was now.
He acted decisively and looked down upon all things.
Although he was the youngest among the disciples in age, when it came to true strength, he surpassed everyone else.
In the entire Great Qi, apart from Li Ping himself, there was probably no one who could match him.
Even if Li Ping took action personally, without using certain secret techniques or divine abilities, subduing Ou Shangtian would not be easy.
In addition to the two peculiar items Ou Shangtian was born with — the Kunqian Bone Hands and the Book of Ten Thousand Deaths — he had recently fished up the Seven-Colored Divine Light from the Fishing Pond under Li Ping’s guidance.
With the Seven-Colored Divine Light protecting his body, along with the heaven-defying escape abilities of the Kunqian Bone Hands and the Book of Ten Thousand Deaths, Ou Shangtian’s survivability was even stronger than that of most Dao Integration cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm.
After easily suppressing several small worlds in a few outings, this young man became increasingly arrogant and domineering.
Fortunately, with his father and Li Ping keeping him in check, he had not done anything too excessive.
Previously, when he teamed up with Wang Xuanba to capture the You Clan members, he also became interested in Wang Xuanba’s strange exotic beast abilities.
He therefore asked Li Ping for the method to cultivate the Creation Furnace Technique and had been diligently practicing it during this period.
Li Ping was not worried that Ou Shangtian would lose control.
Before any signs of loss of control appeared, he would act decisively.
The pure golden source power condensed by the You Clan had already been quietly injected into the bodies of key figures throughout Great Qi.
This power, which was infinitely close to True Immortal strength, could not be detected by these so-called geniuses.
Only Daoist Hundred Flowers, that old monster from the ancient cultivation world, would know the truth.
“Since they have fallen into my net, they can only serve me to the death.”
“After all, all gifts have long been priced.”
With the pure golden source power as his trump card, he could now begin to look forward to the invasion plan against the Xuanhuang Realm.
