My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1214: Purple Qi Enters the Star Sea
“This divided soul was originally meant to be saved for the most critical moment.”
“Now it seems it must be deployed.”
Having lurked beside Wu Ninglu and gained full knowledge of her every action and habit, Li Fan’s clone took control of her body. He found an excuse to leave the Sun family without arousing anyone’s suspicion.
After shaking off the pursuit from the Chen family of the Medicine Hall, he reached a remote, uninhabited underground spot in the wilderness. Using whatever materials were at hand, he began constructing stone puppets.
He needed to deliver these stone puppets to the border of the Xuanhuang Realm before the sixteen Dao Integration cultivators departed.
This would allow him to observe their escape method up close.
With Li Fan’s current mastery of formations, he had no worry of detection by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
“They say one person cannot be in two places at once. I have already split off several clones, yet it still feels insufficient.”
Li Fan’s divided soul felt somewhat helpless.
A careful count showed the main body hidden within the Derivation Law Jade space of the Guardian Hall.
The Holy Embryo had gone far across the Star Sea to peer into the secrets of the Echoing Star Power.
The Boundless Mirror clone was too weak and lacked the strength.
As for the Holy Emperor clone, it had unfortunately been dragged by Yin Shangren into the Nether Realm.
Thus, only this hidden divided soul could act in person.
The situation in the Dark Sea could be set aside for now.
The day the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance completed their Immortal Ancestor mission arrived sooner than Li Fan had anticipated.
It was the thirty-third day after the Voidbright Flow Crystal had been listed as a prohibited circulating item.
A magnificent rainbow suddenly appeared between the heavens and earth of the Xuanhuang Realm.
It seemed to blend every color in the world, twisting and dreamlike.
Like a meteor flying backward, it pierced the dome of heaven and surged onward.
Before countless watchful eyes, the rainbow tore open the sky of the Xuanhuang Realm.
The countless afterglows it left behind lingered for a long time, spreading across the firmament and refusing to fade for several days.
For the next half month, the sky of the Xuanhuang Realm remained mottled with seven colors, strange and illusory.
Curious cultivators attempted to capture these scattered rainbow lights.
The colors proved to have physical substance and could be collected and refined.
They also possessed the property of making objects emit the same seven-colored glow.
Combined with the earlier strict prohibition by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance against any discussion of the Voidbright Flow Crystal…
The cultivators instantly understood.
This was the Voidbright Flow Crystal, used to construct the vessel for leaving the realm.
The revelation of the answer caused no chaos.
Most cultivators knew nothing of the Immortal Ruins’ existence, nor did they realize the Xuanhuang Realm could not be escaped at all.
They only knew that contact between the Xuanhuang Realm and the outside had been severed for a long time. They guessed the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s action was meant to reestablish communication.
But these people were unimportant.
The important cultivators, upon realizing the truth, began to harbor different thoughts.
The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance started to stir with undercurrents.
Time returned to the moment the colorful rainbow left the Xuanhuang Realm.
Through the eyes of roughly a hundred stone puppets, Li Fan gained a clearer view of the entire process by which the rainbow departed the Xuanhuang Realm.
The instant it left the Xuanhuang Realm, its flight trajectory changed exactly as expected: the originally straight line suddenly bent.
It veered toward the direction of the Immortal Ruins.
But not entirely.
It was like a mass of dough being slowly stretched.
Only a portion of the colorful rainbow was forcibly pulled off course by the attraction of the Immortal Ruins.
The remainder continued unwaveringly, speeding deep into the Star Sea.
As the colorful rainbow advanced, more and more hues were drawn away, falling toward the Immortal Ruins.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo…
The disappearance of these colors caused the rainbow’s hue to gradually become simpler.
In the end, only a single strand of purple qi remained.
It flew alone into the unknown depths of the Star Sea.
From the perspective of the Xuanhuang Realm below, it looked like a beam of light shot toward the Star Sea, dispersed into various different colors.
Merely a somewhat astonishing phenomenon that would not spark much discussion.
Yet in Li Fan’s eyes, the scene was almost no different from a miracle.
“It actually resisted the suction of the Immortal Ruins?!”
“No, rather than resist, it would be more accurate to say it delayed and resolved it!”
“It released a portion of the suction force acting upon itself, offsetting the pull to a certain degree. Then, through layer after layer of shedding, it rapidly distanced itself from the Immortal Ruins, causing the attraction to grow ever weaker.”
“Countless precise calculations were required to accomplish this feat!”
“It was not a victory of pure power, but a triumph of skill.”
Li Fan’s mind replayed the dynamic curves of the color separation again and again.
They seemed to contain infinite profundities.
The Dao Deviation Stone crystal spun rapidly, attempting to deduce and recreate the scene within his sea of consciousness.
Yet after the yellow light separated, he already felt dizzy and unable to continue.
Though regretful, he could only stop.
“Is this the method devised by the Immortal Ancestor?”
“Elegant.”
Li Fan could only offer these two words in evaluation.
“The Voidbright Flow Crystal should only be used for separating the different hues.”
“As for the original driving force that propelled it out of the Xuanhuang Realm, it must still be those sixteen Dao Integration cultivators.”
“While bound to the heavens and earth of the Xuanhuang Realm, cultivators at the Longevity Immortal realm cannot easily leave unless they reach the level of the Immortal Ancestor. Dao Integration is already the highest combat force the Xuanhuang Realm can deploy.”
“Although they were forcibly cultivated by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, I can sense that the auras of those sixteen Dao Integration cultivators are not weak.”
Li Fan’s thoughts surged.
The scene of the colorful rainbow leaving the Xuanhuang Realm had given him a profound shock.
Only when someone easily accomplishes a goal you have pursued for a long time without success do people truly feel the existence of the gap.
“The Immortal Ancestor Heavenly Sovereign is indeed beyond ordinary reach.”
“But it does not matter. Once I master this method, and return to [Truth]…”
“Once again I will be ahead of him.”
…
Holy Dynasty of Great Qi.
Sun Erlang looked at Yi Shu with some puzzlement.
This senior had recently been speaking normally one moment, then suddenly falling into a daze the next.
If he had not personally witnessed the terrifying power of the Dao Deviation Stone Mother and known this must be the Stone Mother drawing on computational power, Sun Erlang might have suspected the man had fallen into some senile condition.
Yet what exactly was the Stone Mother doing that it affected even these divided bodies of the Taiyan Sect?
Having spent some time with Yi Shu and gained an understanding of the Taiyan Sect collective’s temperament, Sun Erlang did not guess blindly. He asked directly.
Only after a long while did Yi Shu regain his senses.
“It is nothing. I merely thought of a method to escape in certain extreme situations without abandoning the Stone Mother’s main body.”
“Before achieving complete information immortality, losing the Dao Deviation Stone Mother would still have a very great impact on us.” Yi Shu explained to Sun Erlang.
“Extreme situations?” Having personally witnessed the Stone Mother’s might and having reincarnated within the simulated worlds, Sun Erlang found it hard to imagine what kind of disaster could force the Stone Mother to flee in such a sorry state.
