My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1215: Scouring the Dark Sea

“If that day truly comes, Senior, please don’t forget to bring me along.” A moment later, Sun Erlang laughed and teased.

“No problem.” Yi Shu glanced at Sun Erlang and nodded in agreement.

Sun Erlang was immediately stunned.

“Your master has not been in the Great Qi Small World recently? I can no longer sense his presence.” Yi Shu bypassed the topic and asked instead.

Sun Erlang frowned upon hearing this: “Yes. I just don’t know where he has gone. From what I remember, this is the first time he has left the Holy Dynasty.”

Yi Shu looked toward the Holy Emperor’s Throne, which seemed to grow even taller, and countless lights and shadows flashed in his eyes for an instant.

Beneath the Holy Emperor’s Throne, inside the secret chamber where the You Clan people were kept.

Over a thousand You Clan people formed circles, dancing and performing a mysterious ritual.

At the center of their encirclement stood a pitch-black door that seemed capable of devouring all light.

Passing through this mysterious dark door led to the other side of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Dark Sea.

Holy Emperor Li Ping was currently inside it.

With him was Yin Shangren.

In the Dark Sea, vision, sound, and even divine sense lost their ability to communicate.

Yet Holy Emperor Li Ping could still feel Yin Shangren’s whispers in his ear.

It was as though some profound force directly adhered to the surface of his skin, allowing intimate exchange.

Being in the Dark Sea severed his connection to the Holy Dynasty’s fortune.

At this moment, Li Ping’s strength could be described as extremely frail. Any random Soul Transformation cultivator from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance could probably kill him easily.

However, as the destined Holy Emperor of the Holy Dynasty in this alien dark realm, Li Ping felt no fear whatsoever in his heart.

Because within his body flowed a power that ordinary cultivators could not detect.

An almost transcendent golden, vast force.

The You Clan cultivation plan was progressing very smoothly.

It even skipped the physical growth process entirely; as soon as they were born, they were mature individuals with all bodily functions at their peak.

Although the drawback was a further reduction in lifespan, expected to be only three to five years.

But as long as the flesh factories continued producing without end, the scale of You Clan people kept and loyally praying for the Holy Emperor in the Holy Dynasty could be guaranteed.

After the You Clan population exceeded four digits, the daily generated essence of vow power had already reached a considerable level.

Under Li Ping’s deliberate manipulation and weaving, a giant golden net formed within his body, centered on the heart.

The source power essence surged like an endless river. Now, Holy Emperor Li Ping could display all kinds of inconceivable divine abilities with a mere gesture, even without using his own cultivation.

For example, with a single thought, he could trace the source of the vow power essence and instantly return to the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi no matter where he was in the Xuanhuang Realm. Even if other forces interfered, at most it would slow his return speed; it could not completely prevent the process.

Moreover, when he was attacked, the giant net of source power essence would automatically protect and counterattack.

With the current scale of the golden giant net within his body, Holy Emperor Li Ping was very confident that even a Longevity Immortal from the Xuanhuang Realm could not keep him.

Of course, excluding the Immortal Ancestor.

This was also the source of his confidence in personally venturing into danger and coming to the Dark Sea this time.

Through the power of Yin Shangren’s world specter, the two were communicating back and forth.

“Have you not sensed the strangeness here?” Yin Shangren’s voice came intermittently; his main body was nowhere to be found.

“It is pitch black; besides that, there is nothing.” Holy Emperor Li Ping said in a deep voice.

“Ah, right. You are different from me, so it is normal that you cannot hear these sounds. The low murmurs of people and events from every era of the Xuanhuang Realm rise and fall within this Dark Sea…”

Under Yin Shangren’s explanation, Li Ping finally understood what he meant by the strangeness.

The Nether Realm was the collection of forces in the Xuanhuang Realm that deviated from the Immortal Ruins’ power.

These were originally part of the Xuanhuang Realm. Attracted to the Nether Realm for unknown reasons, they also synchronously brought some “information.” It could be a segment of sound or several images.

It might even be a complete divine thought.

Over time, suppressed by the power here, they all sank into the Dark Sea.

“So the Dark Sea is actually quite lively.” Li Ping said thoughtfully.

“It cannot be said that way. The characteristics of this place inevitably cause all information to fall silent. I can only access these fragments of time through absorption. Weren’t you asking about the reason for the You Clan race’s special constitution? I think I know the answer now.”

With these words, Li Ping felt a surge in the darkness behind him.

It was Yin Shangren who had suddenly appeared.

Incongruous with the darkness here, the small vortex-like state around him allowed Li Ping to clearly “see” him.

“If we regard the Immortal Ruins’ power as attraction, then the force maintaining the existence of the Nether Realm can be seen as repulsion. This repulsive force does not exist constantly like the Immortal Ruins’ attraction. Instead, it emerges and scours regularly like ocean tides. The accumulated scouring on the timescale has formed such a peculiar existence in the Xuanhuang Realm.”

Yin Shangren’s tone was filled with amazement.

Previously, although he had vaguely known of this region’s existence, he had never studied it systematically.

This in-depth investigation had deeply impressed him with the marvels of the Dark Sea.

“The attraction comes from forces outside the Xuanhuang Realm. The repulsion originates from the Xuanhuang Realm itself. Yet it is not from the Xuanhuang heavens and earth themselves…”

Yin Shangren fell silent for a moment, seemingly calculating something.

“If my guess is correct, this periodic spontaneous repulsive force should come from the ancient Xuantian Sect’s [Floating Across the Starry Sky Grand Formation]!”

Speaking of this formation, Yin Shangren’s tone suddenly became somewhat subtle.

It seemed some unpleasant memories had flashed through his mind.

But he quickly suppressed this emotion stemming from his own nature and continued the analysis.

“So that’s how it is. Floating across, floating across—if it cannot resist the Immortal Ruins’ attraction that gave birth to the Darkest Star Sea, how could it float in the boundless starry sea?”

“By comparison, the golden chains’ method of capturing other worlds is more like salvaging resources to strengthen itself. It is merely incidental.”

“It is indeed the Xuanhuang Realm’s greatest formation, unprecedented and unmatched in history. It is a pity that the grand formation has now been damaged, and if I am not mistaken, each activation of the Dark Sea’s repulsive force also consumes the Xuanhuang heavens and earth as its price. In the past, the Xuanhuang Realm could capture other worlds to offset this consumption.”

“But times have changed; let alone supplying the dark repulsion, the Xuanhuang Realm itself can barely be preserved.”

Yin Shangren actually revealed a rare tone of schadenfreude.
