My Longevity Simulation
chapter-220

By creating a Dao Discussant and engaging in battles with others, Li Fan sought ways to defeat Zhang Qianmo.

This is just one of Li Fan's many attempts. Anyway, he's not short of contribution points now, so even if he fails, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll have to wait until I break through the Golden Core stage and directly capture him using the Insect Binding technique."

Li Fan thought silently.

Putting this matter aside for now, Li Fan took out a deep blue stone from his storage ring and gently stroked it.

It was the same Dao Transformation Stone he obtained from the Heaven Locked Treasure Box in his previous life.

Although he couldn't remember the unlocking method of the Heaven Locked Treasure Box in the previous life, with the help of the Tianxuan Mirror in this life, Li Fan, who had mastered the "Divine Transformation Dao," effortlessly memorized the correct sequence of the forty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sheets of paper.

"If there is a next life, I won't need to trouble the Tianxuan Mirror. I can save some contribution points."

Li Fan probed the Dao Transformation Stone with his spiritual consciousness. In an instant, a faint blue light flickered.

Threads of energy flowed out from the Dao Transformation Stone and were absorbed by Li Fan's spiritual consciousness. The blue crystal in his dantian also seemed to become deeper.

"These two Dao Transformation Stones are originally one. Although they won't automatically merge like Heavenly Treasures, I can slowly absorb them into one with the secret method of 'Divine Transformation Dao.' Eventually, they will merge with the one in my dantian."

"Now, Dao Transformation Stones are hard to come by, and the one in my dantian is just a low-quality one. It's not particularly rare."

"However, with each reincarnation, I can have one more low-quality Dao Transformation Stone to absorb."

"Even if the effect of one or two stones is not great, what if there are hundreds or thousands?"

"Quantity can lead to a qualitative change."

"Even in the end, it's not impossible to restore the original 'Mother Dao Transformation Stone' of the Tai Yan Sect."

With these thoughts, an inexplicable color flashed in Li Fan's eyes.

"The only limitation is that my spiritual consciousness is still too weak at the moment. The absorption and transformation efficiency is too slow."

"Methods to strengthen the spiritual consciousness still don't show up in the Tianxuan Mirror."

"I still have to rely on the Fallen Immortal Realm."

The reason why Li Fan was anxious to change locations in the Fallen Immortal Realm was that when absorbing Li Chen's corpse, the effect of strengthening his spiritual consciousness seemed to only be effective once.

The several deaths afterwards did not strengthen Li Fan's spiritual consciousness.

"I can't be too hasty; I need to take it step by step." Li Fan sighed slightly.

With a multitasking approach, Li Fan simultaneously practiced the "Mountain Meditation Technique" and absorbed the Dao Transformation Stone.

Time passed quietly.

Soon, it was the day when the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace would open.

Li Fan's main body did not move and continued cultivating in the Tianxuan Mirror.

He simply let his clone go, receiving a Nascent Soul technique called "Six Desires Without Form" from Qin Tang.

It could stimulate the innate desires of joy, anger, grief, fear, love, and hatred, transforming them into six different divine abilities.

"As the chief of the Law Transmission Hall, Senior Brother Qin's treasures are truly inexhaustible."

"Now, Su Xiaomei also has a technique."

"Unfortunately, the Heavenly Doctor has taught me a lesson. I've already learned his Cloud Water Illusory Dream Art, and I dare not take advantage of others' weaknesses again."

"If that anomalous Senior Brother Qin perceives something amiss, I might be forced to use [Truth]."

Li Fan shook his head regretfully.

Thinking of Su Xiaomei and the others, his thoughts turned, and his perspective suddenly shifted to the deserted island.

He had long locked onto Ye Feipeng and Xiao Heng with the Formless Killing Intent.

At this moment, Li Fan found that over a year had passed, and Xiao Heng had already reached the mid Foundation Establishment stage.

It seemed that he was not far from breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Ye Feipeng's cultivation progress was slightly slower. It seemed that he had just broken through to the mid Foundation Establishment stage, and his aura was still somewhat unstable.

At this time, the two were sparring.

Xiao Heng could already condense nineteen Sea Fixing Swords.

The blue water swords flew up and down like wandering dragons, roaring as they attacked Ye Feipeng.

Ye Feipeng was calm and not in a hurry. His figure seemed elusive, making it difficult to grasp.

Wind was generated under his feet, allowing him to easily evade the attacks of the water swords one by one.

With every step he took, a water blade would generate under his feet and silently fly toward Xiao Heng.

But each time it approached Xiao Heng, it was blocked by a water sword that suddenly appeared.

Ye Feipeng was not discouraged but continued to approach Xiao Heng.

Slowly, when he was only one foot away from Xiao Heng, a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly, he realized that he was surrounded by nineteen Sea Fixing Swords without any knowledge!

No matter how good one's stance was, one could not escape!

Ye Feipeng decisively shouted, "I surrender!"

Xiao Heng smiled faintly, and the Sea Fixing Swords whizzed past, cutting off a strand of Ye Feipeng's hair.

"Fatty, you have to work harder. With the hair I've collected here, it's enough to weave you a dress!" Xiao Heng said with a smile.

"What's the point of being complacent? One day, I will beat you up thoroughly." Ye Feipeng snorted coldly, stepping back and leaving.

Arriving at the beach, Ye Feipeng contemplated silently, "If I stay on this deserted island to cultivate all the time, I will always be overshadowed by that kid."

"It's really an insult to a reborn person. I remember it was roughly the next year that Zhang Haobo suddenly rose to prominence. In just a year, he went from an ordinary person to a cultivator in the mid Foundation Establishment stage."

"Although I don't know what happened in between, it doesn't prevent me from intercepting him."

"Take advantage of his opportunities for myself."

"And the year after, the Tian Yang cave will open. Although that Tian Yang is actually a Soul Transformation puppet, as long as I slip away before it reveals its complete form, there shouldn't be a problem."

"However, it's a bit too much for me alone. I have to find a way to pull Xiao Heng over and let him block those guardian puppets for me. With my speed, I should be able to sweep through and leave safely."

Thinking like this, Ye Feipeng wrote down the names Zhang Haobo, Tian Yang, etc., on the beach, a look of expectation on his face.

Later, he used his foot to wipe away the handwriting.

...

In the Tianxuan Mirror, Li Fan smiled when he saw this scene.

"It turns out that he has the idea of snatching Zhang Haobo's opportunities. No matter, I've already made arrangements."

"Let's see if Ye Feipeng can attract the attention of the Cong Yun Sea in this life, and bear half of the Canghai Pearl."

Shifting his attention away from the deserted island, Li Fan checked the messages he had received in the meantime and couldn't help but feel a bit amused and helpless.

"This fellow Daoist, your Li Qianmo is really outrageous. Not only can he be resurrected, but his strength can also become stronger after resurrection? It's really absurd!"

"I have already reported to the Tianxuan Mirror; there must be something wrong. How can the combat power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator be so outrageous?"

"Can fellow Daoist reveal who the prototype of this Li Qianmo is? I am willing to buy this information from you for five hundred contribution points!"

...

These messages were sent by cultivators who had failed in battles against Zhang Qianmo.

Li Fan took a look at Zhang Qianmo's recent record.

Eight victories and one draw.

No need to say much about the victories; after his rebirth, he basically crushed his opponents.

But that draw was interesting.

The other side, although not strong in terms of strength, had a defense that was outstanding to an absurd level.

The body was surrounded by shields resembling turtle shells from all directions. No matter what techniques Zhang Qianmo used, he couldn't break through the defense.

Even when the Purple Heaven Royal Thunder struck the turtle shell, it only left a black mark.

As the cultivator chuckled, the black mark returned to its original state.

When Li Fan looked at the name of this cultivator, he was speechless.

"Exin Ren..." [1]

He immediately blocked this cultivator and permanently refused his battle requests.

After blacklisting him, Li Fan, feeling refreshed, suddenly received a communication prompt.

He opened it, and it turned out to be from Formation Master Zhang Zhiliang.

Finally, their group had more or less completed the research on the Mountain and River Formation.

Back at the Formation Hall.

Since joining, Li Fan had only met him once on that island.

This time, Zhang Zhiliang asked Li Fan to come to the Formation Hall to assess Li Fan's formation proficiency again and then, based on the results, arrange for subsequent work.

Li Fan didn't delay, changing into the black and yellow robe and arriving at the Formation Hall.

Zhang Zhiliang was already waiting.

In addition to Zhang Zhiliang, there was another unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It seemed that, like Li Fan, this person also held the position of a Formation Repairer.

After exchanging greetings with the two, Li Fan stood quietly on the side.

Zhang Zhiliang gestured for Li Fan to wait for a moment.

Afterwards, three more Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived one after another.

After the five people gathered, Zhang Zhiliang threw a testing ball to each of them, saying, "Test your formation proficiency first, let's see if you've been slacking off during this time."

Li Fan took the black sphere, skillfully injected a strand of spiritual consciousness into it, and began answering the questions.

They were all familiar questions, and Li Fan quickly completed the test.

The other four were still immersed in the testing ball at this time.

Zhang Zhiliang took back the small ball, looking satisfied, "Not bad."

When the other four completed the test, he frowned, saying to one of them, "Sun Ling, among the five of you, your results rank third, but I still have to dismiss you. Do you know why?"

The cultivator named Sun Ling turned pale immediately.

He opened his mouth as if wanting to defend himself.

In the end, he didn't say anything and answered with a bitter smile, "Junior understands. Junior has been negligent in studying formations during this time, and my proficiency is still at the level of three years ago..."

Zhang Zhiliang waved his hand, "Knowing is enough, you can leave!"

Sun Ling arched his hand, saluted, and left with a downcast expression.

Seeing this, the remaining four people all had serious expressions.

"Well, don't be nervous. You're all doing fine."

Zhang Zhiliang smiled and said, "Due to special reasons, I haven't taught you for a long time."

"Coincidentally, the guardian formation of Haitong Island was attacked recently, and it suffered severe damage and needs repair."

"You will accompany me to fix it. During this time, I can also explain the construction and repair of large-scale formations based on your performance."

The other three nodded in agreement.

Li Fan, on the other hand, had a thought and asked, "Master Zhang, I remember that Haitong Island is located near the northern border of Cong Yun Sea, close to the Yongliang Prefecture. How could it suddenly be attacked..."

"Could it be the work of the Five Elders' people?"

Zhang Zhiliang nodded, "It was indeed the work of a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Five Elders. But this matter is our fault, so we can only accept it."

Li Fan wondered, "Why are we at fault? What happened?"

Zhang Zhiliang looked somewhat helpless, "It's because of Jiang Zhengji from the Martial Hall."

"He said he was chasing a scammer all the way to Yongliang Prefecture."

"As a result, he didn't find the person but was discovered by the Five Elders' people."

"Jiang Zhengji and Du Xingchang, these two have quite impressive skills."

"The two of them teamed up and actually escaped from the encirclement and pursuit of a Nascent Soul and five or six Golden Core cultivators."
