My Longevity Simulation
chapter-367

“Practicing like this, who wouldn’t go crazy?”

After reading the entire jade slip, Li Fan couldn’t help but sigh.

Recorded in the jade slip is naturally what Zhong Shentong said before, the “Life and Death Profound Technique” he cultivated.

Half a scroll, origin unknown.

The essence of the technique is even more incredible.

The first chapter of the technique clearly states:

Believing that everything in the world will ultimately face death.

From birds, beasts, plants, humans.

To cultivators, demonic beasts, and even the heavens and earth themselves.

No one can escape this fate.

If one wishes to transcend death, they can only do so before their own death arrives.

Attain a state of neither life nor death, both alive and dead.

This is also the highest realm envisioned by the technique.

To achieve “being in both life and death” requires an unparalleled comprehension and understanding of the essence of life and death.

The “Life and Death Induction Chapter” is a method in the technique used to comprehend life and death.

From the initial “attachment to life and fear of death” to “abandoning life and forgetting death,” and then to “being in both life and death.”

The “Life and Death Profound Technique” is such a peculiar technique practiced with the power of life and death.

Because of its lofty ideals, the content of the technique is extremely profound and obscure.

Compared to the “Mystical Transformation of True Spirits,” it is even more profound.

Perhaps it is because the founder of the technique did not reach the realm of being both alive and dead.

The latter part of the cultivation content of the technique is mostly speculative and conjectural.

With a rough glance, Li Fan could see one or two contradictions.

“The technique is not bad, but it’s a pity it’s incomplete. If it were complete, it could still be somewhat useful. For now, it can only serve as a reference.”

“Moreover, it’s a pity that Zhong Shentong’s Seven-Colored Divine Light seems to have no connection with this ‘Life and Death Profound Technique.’”

Li Fan shook his head slightly.

Folding up the jade slip, Li Fan pondered for a moment, trying to operate the “Life and Death Induction Chapter.”

This chapter is a prerequisite method that one must cultivate in order to enter the “Life and Death Profound Technique,” even ordinary people can practice it.

Naturally, Li Fan had no problem with it.

Every word and sentence silently flowed through Li Fan’s mind.

After three days and three nights.

As Li Fan meditated with closed eyes, his mind suddenly fluctuated.

Countless scenes appeared before his eyes in an instant.

He seemed to have vaguely returned to Da Xuan, experiencing the spiritedness during the Triple Unity, the wanton behavior in the Empress Dowager’s palace, the arrogance of dominating the world…

And later, he experienced dangers, broke through the Immortal Absolute Formation, and finally arrived in the cultivation world.

Step by step, from an ordinary person, cultivating Qi, establishing Foundation, forming Core.

Every exciting moment in his past life rushed into his mind.

Letting Li Fan feel as if he were experiencing them again firsthand.

During this fragmented time, many joyful events overlapped.

Even with Li Fan’s willpower, he couldn’t help but feel a bit ecstatic and joyful.

Just as this joyful atmosphere reached its peak…

All the scenes shattered like bubbles, one after another.

In their place were the near-death moments Li Fan often encountered.

“Father, Father…”

“Husband!”

Faintly, there came the desperate cries of agony. In his first life, he had not yet awakened to the truth and was about to die from illness.

“It’s just seeking a chance at survival!” Kou Hong’s mad laughter accompanied by a tremendous roar and the sky full of flames appeared before Li Fan’s eyes.

That was in the second life, when Dao Xuanzi and Kou Hong battled, and Xuanjing was destroyed in an instant, and Li Fan narrowly escaped death.

The tearing of the boundary whale of the Immortal Absolute Formation, the rapid aging of the transformed sea, the pursuit of the law enforcement elders…

Scenes of fatal crises seemed to descend upon Li Fan simultaneously.

Until the space in the Tianxuan Mirror was torn apart, and ahead, a kind-faced old man could vaguely be seen.

The fear in his heart was uncontrollable.

Li Fan snapped out of his cultivation.

“Still…”

The remaining half of the truth character had yet to be uttered in his mind.

The various terrifying images disappeared in an instant.

Only then did Li Fan manage to stop.

His whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and his breath was as rapid as if he had just escaped death.

Li Fan’s gaze flickered as he looked back on the experience just now.

“The cultivation failed.”

“The Life and Death Induction Chapter triggers a deep fear of death in the heart, not just simple illusions.”

“It’s somewhat similar to that illusion horse, extremely lifelike.”

“What the heart perceives as real, is real.”

“Truly perilous, if deeply trapped in it, unable to distinguish true from false, there might truly be a possibility of being scared to death by oneself.”

“No wonder Zhong Shentong was so erratic…”

“Only in this way can one truly feel the fear of death.”

Thinking of this, Li Fan sighed softly.

“Unfortunately, this method is useless to me.”

“Ordinary people facing the threat of death naturally feel terrified and desperate.”

“But I am different.”

“No matter what the situation, I always have a lifeline.”

“That is my 【Truth】.”

“When the Life and Death Induction Chapter reaches its extreme, facing the substantial threat of death, I will instinctively call upon 【Truth】, to start all over again…”

“Wait…”

In an instant, Li Fan thought of something, his expression changing slightly.

“The instinct for survival…”

“The Xuanhuang Heart Refinement Mantra…”

Standing up suddenly, Li Fan’s thoughts turned quickly.

Walking back and forth, contemplating feasibility.

“To reverse the cultivation of the Dao Heart, I need to resist the instincts within me.”

“And for me, the greatest instinct is, at the moment of death, to invoke 【Truth】.”

“If I were to reverse cultivate the Dao Heart in this way, the harvest would surely be unimaginable.”

“But it’s impossible to truly abandon the plan of invoking 【Truth】 at the moment of life and death.”

“By using the Life and Death Induction Chapter, this problem disappears.”

Li Fan’s gaze flickered, and after a moment, he steadied his mind.

He began to operate the Induction Chapter once again.

When, this time, all the beauty of life was shattered, and the threat of death descended once again.

Li Fan still couldn’t shake off the habit that seemed to have been carved into his soul, and still called upon 【Truth】.

The second attempt failed.

Undeterred, Li Fan persisted, the third time, the fourth time…

Until after fifty-six attempts.

Facing the face of the Heavenly Doctor, Li Fan activated the Xuanhuang Heart Refinement Mantra.

At the same time, with extreme willpower, he temporarily suppressed the instinctive urge to invoke 【Truth】.

But the threat of death did not disappear with Li Fan’s restraint.

Instead, it became more and more real.

The Heavenly Doctor’s face became clearer before his eyes, and the spiritual sense in Li Fan’s heart continued to warn frantically.

In the end, Li Fan was still drenched in sweat, breaking free from the cultivation of the Life and Death Induction Chapter.

“Perhaps, this Induction Chapter can only truly confront death without harming oneself after reaching the stage of abandoning life and forgetting death.”

Li Fan was well aware that if he had persisted just now, even if he hadn’t perished on the spot, the outcome would definitely not have been good.

“This technique is indeed somewhat sinister.”

“However, in just that brief moment, the harvest was also immense.”

In the Heart Refinement Grand Millstone, compared to the previous events of traversing the white mist and risking his life to seek help, there was a little more coolness, which he swallowed down wholeheartedly.
