My Longevity Simulation
chapter-214

Grand Xuan.

According to the location in his memory, Li Fan returned to Yi Xing's tomb and easily broke the mechanism guarding the tomb without much effort.

He casually set up a formation to prevent others from accidentally intruding.

After many years, Li Fan entered Yi Xing's tomb once again.

Through the long tomb passage, he arrived at the deep part of the tomb.

Above his head, pearls sparkled like stars, and beneath his feet, a sea of clouds spread out over towering peaks.

At a glance, he could see traces of a formation.

"This formation can actually endure for thousands of years in the absence of spiritual energy?" Li Fan couldn't help but be amazed and carefully examined it.

Before long, he understood the reason.

"Using pearls as stars."

"Using the soil from various famous mountains in Grand Xuan as peaks."

"Substituting reality for illusion, minimizing the consumption of the formation to the greatest extent."

"And this unknown formation completely abandons functions like attack and defense. Its only purpose is..."

"Illusion..."

In Li Fan's perception, the source of spiritual energy supporting the operation of the formation was the grass hut woven from golden threads where Yi Xing's spiritual position was located.

Li Fa flew to the mountaintop, found the node of the formation, and stepped on it.

"Break!"

The peaks shattered like bubbles, dissipating instantly.

A black hole appeared beneath the golden-threaded grass hut.

Li Fa followed this newly revealed passage and arrived beneath the illusion formation.

Here lay Yi Xing's true tomb.

The tomb was decorated like an ordinary study.

In front of a vermilion table lay a skeleton.

Beside it, a dim candle flame still flickered weakly.

On the table, around the skeleton, and even on the floor of the entire study, there were scattered papers covered in mysterious symbols.

Li Fan picked up one and looked at it for a while, but couldn't decipher what Yi Xing had written during his lifetime.

He casually collected all these papers and searched for a while.

To Li Fan's disappointment, he didn't find the Dao Transformation Stone.

Apart from Yi Xing's skeleton and the papers scattered throughout the room, there was nothing else.

"Could it be that this still isn't the real tomb?"

"Although Yi Xing was just an outer disciple, he was once responsible for the migration of ordinary people. His status shouldn't be too low."

"It shouldn't be so shabby."

Li Fan, unwilling to give up, carefully searched the place inside and out once again.

But the result remained unchanged.

After pondering for a moment, he collected the table, the candle on the table, and Yi Xing's skeleton in one go.

To avoid overlooking anything, Li Fan simply activated the Cong Yun Sword and thoroughly destroyed the entire room with brute force.

The vast power of the Cong Yun Sword exposed the geological structure around the study.

To Li Fan's disappointment, this was indeed the bottommost layer of the tomb.

Going further down, there was only rock and soil.

"It seems that the trip was in vain." Li Fan shook his head helplessly.

He came full of expectations but returned defeated.

After returning to the Xuanhuang Realm, Li Fan cremated Yi Xing's bones and scattered them to the wind.

He then returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.

"If there is anything left behind, it should be among the remaining three items."

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan, under the pretext of selling assets, handed over the table, the candle, and one of the papers to the Tianxuan Mirror for identification.

The first two were ordinary items.

The silver fir mahogany table and a whale oil long-lasting candle added up to only thirty contribution points.

But the papers covered in strange symbols were not ordinary paper.

"Heaven Locked Treasure Box (Incomplete), one contribution point."

Li Fan's eyes flashed. "Indeed, there really is something else."

Instead of choosing to sell it, Li Fan searched for information about the Heaven Locked Treasure Box.

As the name suggests, the Heaven Locked Treasure Box is a storage box sealed in a special way.

Only by completing the decryption set by the owner can the storage box be opened.

But even after knowing that there was a secret inside, Li Fan was at a loss when faced with the tens of thousands of papers full of strange symbols.

Fortunately, Li Fan was not alone.

The Immortal Alliance is undoubtedly vast, and someone must know.

As usual, Li Fan started searching for keywords in the Tianxuan Mirror.

After excluding countless unrelated pieces of information one by one, Li Fan searched for a long time and finally found a clue in an article introducing various activities ancient cultivators engaged in during their leisure time.

"Reverse calamity?"

Li Fan's spirit shook, and he began to read carefully.

The article explained that in ancient times, some cultivators believed that the world developed from order to disorder.

From the initial "Origin," to the duality of Yin and Yang, to the five elements of heaven and earth, and finally to all things in the world.

Order was lost, and chaos accumulated.

Eventually, chaos would completely overwhelm order, destroying everything and returning the heavens and earth to chaos.

This is the "calamity."

And a reverse calamity game is a game that requires reversing chaos into order.

This game requires high demands on a cultivator's spiritual awareness and computational abilities.

It was popular among sects specializing in formations and divination.

It sounds complicated but is actually easy to understand.

Taking the tens of thousands of papers Li Fan found in Yi Xing's tomb as an example: these papers originally had a fixed order.

All Li Fan had to do was to rearrange these papers that had been chaotically shuffled and restore them to their original order.

It should be simple...

Thinking so, Li Fan took out all the papers from his storage ring, ready to give it a try.

But immediately, he realized that something was wrong, and his face turned black.

It was anything but simple!

"There are a total of..." With a sweep of his spiritual awareness, Li Fan's expression became increasingly unsightly.

"49,999 papers."

"If there are no other clues, and I simply attempt each possibility..."

Just thinking about it, Li Fan felt dizzy.

"Even if I do nothing else in my life, I won't be able to crack it!"

Li Fan picked up one paper and observed the content written on it.

"The seemingly meaningless symbols on this paper should be clues."

"Unfortunately, it's equivalent to a pre-determined encryption key, only known to the person involved."

"Perhaps it was a common code among the disciples of the Tai Yan Sect back in the day?"

Unable to discern anything, Li Fan felt somewhat helpless.

"I wonder if the Dao Transformation Stone that Jiao Xiuyuan found at that time was also encrypted like this?"

Li Fan couldn't help but think about asking for help with a clone.

However, right after that, he had a flash of insight and temporarily gave up on the idea.

"...It's just a password with more digits."

"I can't do it, but this one surely can."

Li Fan cleared his throat, smiled, and asked the Tianxuan Mirror if it provides decryption services.

The Tianxuan Mirror remained silent for a moment and then gave an affirmative answer.

However, the cost would be charged according to the difficulty of decryption.

After inquiring, Li Fan learned that it would be at most twenty to thirty thousand contribution points.

With his ample resources, Li Fan boldly entrusted the Tianxuan Mirror to proceed with the decryption.

Even if he knew there was a secret inside, faced with tens of thousands of papers covered in strange symbols, Li Fan was at a loss.
