My Longevity Simulation

The brush fell, stunning the wind and rain. The written characters were formed, and the heaven and earth was set in place.

Following the same method as before, Li Fan successfully copied the complete True Immortal seal script character representing the Immortal Mortal Transformation that had manifested on the leg bone of the Nameless True Immortal, and engraved it onto the Dao Key Stone Slab.

At that very moment, within the vortex high above the firmament, it seemed that some indescribable existence had descended.

Amid the upheaval, the Xuanhuang Realm, and even everything in the world, seemed to be forcibly frozen in place.

Even Li Fan, who was presiding over and driving the ascension of the Xuanhuang Realm, was no exception.

Countless bolts of lightning flashed across the sky of the Xuanhuang Realm at the same instant.

With every flash of thunder, the Xuanhuang Realm trembled slightly, as though it had been struck by a massive hammer.

Boom, boom, boom...

The Xuanhuang Realm, which had originally been stitched together from numerous worlds, began to undergo even further fusion under these tremendous blows.

The white mist that devoured essence and served as the boundary between the various prefectures became increasingly thin under these strikes. In the end, it dissipated completely.

The distance between heaven and earth also drew closer with each successive strike.

Even more terrifyingly, every flash of lightning was accompanied by the annihilation of an area within the Xuanhuang Realm. It seemed that those regions could not withstand the enormous pressure of the world's ascension into an Immortal Domain and were reduced to dust.

The void left behind by the destruction and disappearance of each region was quickly compressed and replaced by other regions.

...

A transformation that would normally require hundreds of millions of years of accumulation within a world was unfolding in the Xuanhuang Realm in an instant.

At this moment, it was as though the entire world were being tempered in thunder and raging flames, impurities being burned away while the essence was retained.

The aura permeating heaven and earth became increasingly sacred, while the overall size of the Xuanhuang Realm was gradually shrinking.

Although Li Fan's body had been immobilized by the tremendous force of the world's ascension, his thoughts remained active.

He stared intently at the vortex in the sky, and sure enough, he sensed within it the primordial and ancient aura of the Great Dao of Immortal Mortal Transformation.

Compared to the Immortal Mortal Transformation seal script character itself, the aura of the Great Dao was even more incomprehensible, instinctively causing one to feel awe and reverence.

It was precisely under the influence of this Great Dao aura that the Xuanhuang Realm had been able to break through the critical point of ascension and gain the qualifications to continue advancing toward an Immortal Domain.

For a cultivator to transform from mortal to immortal was already unimaginably difficult. How much more difficult would it be for an entire world?

Even with Li Fan's numerous preparations and the extremely profound accumulation of the Xuanhuang Realm, the formal process of ascending into an Immortal Domain was still fraught with danger, like a small fishing boat tossed about in a violent storm, seemingly on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

Within the vortex, countless bolts of lightning descended like hammers, striking continuously without end.

The bloated body of the Xuanhuang Realm was being shaved away inch by inch.

...

'Something is wrong.'

'The consumption caused by this world's Immortal Mortal Transformation is far too enormous.'

Li Fan faintly sensed the problem, and his expression became extremely solemn.

'Just like my previous experiment...'

In the blink of an eye, Li Fan recalled the records from the ancient cultivation world regarding cultivators successfully overcoming their tribulations and subsequently ascending.

'There is no visible tribulation lightning, nor is there any infusion of immortal spiritual qi to assist in the transformation. Everything depends solely on one's own foundation to endure the Immortal Mortal Transformation.'

'Under normal circumstances, this should be completely impossible.'

Another terrified distress signal from the Xuanhuang Realm reached his ears. However, under the torment of the ascension tribulation, it was already incredibly weak.

Li Fan's interests were temporarily tied to those of the Xuanhuang Realm. He quickly made his decision.

He drew upon the remaining power of the Xuanhuang Realm and temporarily recovered his ability to move under the suppression of the aura of the Great Dao of Immortal Mortal Transformation.

With a thought from Li Fan, daoist boy Qiushui transformed back into the form of the azure sword.

Sword light spread like rain, appearing throughout every region of the Xuanhuang Realm. Using the sword itself as a medium, it began absorbing power from the boundless Star Sea.

At the same time, more than a hundred fountains suddenly erupted from the earth of the Xuanhuang Realm for no apparent reason.

This was the vitality of the fissures and depressions in the Darkest Star Sea that Li Fan had stolen and transferred here.

The two continuous streams of power were like two powerful restorative medicines, desperately sustaining the Xuanhuang Realm's precarious life.

But within the vortex high above, the flashes of lightning became increasingly rapid.

The intervals between flashes grew so short that they formed an uninterrupted purple radiance, quietly illuminating the Xuanhuang Realm below.

As the distance between heaven and earth continued to shrink, the sky seemed to overturn and press downward.

Of the five Immortal Pillars, only the one formed from the leg bone of the Nameless True Immortal at the center was still capable of supporting it.

The other four were all being crushed from top to bottom under the terrifying pressure, gradually turning into dust.

Thus, the shape of the heavens became like a dome, high in the center and low on all four sides.

Seeing that the Immortal Pillars naturally formed by the Xuanhuang Realm itself were insufficient to support the collapsing heavens, Li Fan narrowed his eyes and continuously formed hand seals.

The little Heavenly Beast, which was sleeping and being nourished by immortal spiritual qi, suddenly let out a heaven-shaking roar.

Its body involuntarily flipped over.

Then, in an instant, it expanded by tens of millions of times, its four feet pointing toward the sky, resembling Immortal Pillars as it supported the constantly descending firmament.

The enormous pressure of the falling sky was borne by the little Heavenly Beast.

Even with its extraordinary physique and the several Immortal Domain Go pieces it had swallowed, it was unwilling to be treated as expendable material.

A dangerous red light flashed through its eyes as it struggled incessantly.

It growled and roared, seemingly attempting to break free from Li Fan's control.

"Please, Wooden Sword Heavenly Wonder!"

Li Fan's expression was solemn as he loudly chanted.

Within the ruins of the Sword Tomb of the Heavenly Sword Sect long ago, the wooden sword surrounded by countless swords suddenly let out a spontaneous hum.

Sword light flashed.

Moments later, it flew into Li Fan's hand.

This Wooden Sword had originally been created by Mr. Bai, and it was the manifestation of the Sword Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm.

During the ascension of the Xuanhuang Realm, this Sword Dao had undergone transformation along with it.

Now that it had fallen into Li Fan's hand, it had already incorporated certain supreme aspects of the Sword Dao that transcended the mortal world.

Slash!

The sword moved according to his will.

In the blink of an eye, the Wooden Sword Heavenly Wonder transformed into a streak of white light and swept around the four corners of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Roar!

Amid the little Heavenly Beast's agonized roar, its four limbs fell away one after another.

'Go!'

Li Fan controlled the power of heaven and earth within the Xuanhuang Realm and fused the four limbs of the little Heavenly Beast into the four great Immortal Pillars.

Having absorbed some of the laws of the Immortal Domain, the four limbs of the Heavenly Beast possessed a carrying capacity far beyond anything in an ordinary mortal cultivation world.

The descent of the heavens continued for some time.

Finally, after the four limbs of the Heavenly Beast completely merged with the Immortal Pillars of the Xuanhuang Realm under the extreme pressure from outside, they barely managed to hold back the collapsing heavens.

Li Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked at the Wooden Sword Heavenly Wonder in his hand.

Although it had relied on its sharpness and its Sword Dao characteristic of advancing without hesitation to forcibly sever the limbs of the Heavenly Beast, cutting through the Immortal Domain laws contained within those limbs had also inflicted unimaginable damage upon the Wooden Sword.

The Wooden Sword gradually shattered inch by inch, transforming into streams of fluorescent light that dissipated into heaven and earth.

The Sword Dao no longer existed within the Xuanhuang Realm.

For it to recover naturally might require ten million years, or even longer.

With the four limbs of the Heavenly Beast providing additional support, the Xuanhuang Realm's critical situation greatly improved.

Although the overall size of the realm continued to shrink, at the very least, the distance between heaven and earth would no longer decrease.

However, the fundamental problem remained unresolved.

The world's Immortal Mortal Transformation consumed far too much energy.

Even with the dual infusion of vitality from the fissures and power from the Star Sea, the expenditure still far exceeded the supply.

Li Fan also realized that it was not because the energy required for the Xuanhuang Realm to ascend into an Immortal Domain exceeded the infinite power of the Star Sea.

Rather, Qiushui alone was simply too inefficient at absorbing energy.

There was an infinite amount of power available, but it could not be fully drawn out.

As his thoughts raced, Li Fan already had an idea.

He bowed slightly, his crown hanging low and concealing the expression on his face.

Li Fan's voice resounded throughout the Xuanhuang heavens and earth.

"Please, all the Great Celestial Venerables of past generations!"

His voice was like an imperial decree. Once his words were spoken, they became reality.

Amid the violent upheaval of the Immortal Mortal Transformation, figures gradually appeared throughout heaven and earth.

The current Great Celestial Venerable, Wuming, also rose into the air of his own accord, taking his place at the final position.

Starting from Wuming, the farther back in time they went, the more indistinct the figures of the Great Celestial Venerables became.

The first was the phantom of Mr. Bai. His features could still be faintly discerned.

The one before him could only be seen as a vague silhouette, while his face was nothing more than a blank void.

Standing before this blank-faced phantom was another figure.

Although his face could not be seen clearly, Li Fan recognized him at a glance.

That should be the imprint left behind by the Xuantian King.

Before the Xuantian King, there were four more.

However, each was more indistinct than the last.

The first generation Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable had been reduced to nothing more than a faint outline.

Eight phantoms.

All of them represented Great Celestial Venerables who had once existed in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Although they had already passed away for various reasons, each had still left behind a unique imprint within the Xuanhuang heavens and earth.

In the past, Heavenly Dao Bai had once relied on Li Fan's Holy Embryo to reappear in the mortal world.

And now, Li Fan, who had obtained almost complete control over the Xuanhuang Realm, was taking advantage of the Xuanhuang Realm's life and death crisis to forcibly summon all eight Grand Celestial Venerables at once.

"The Xuanhuang Realm is now in peril. I ask all of you Great Celestial Venerables to lend me your strength."

Li Fan's expression was solemn as he bowed once again to the eight figures.

Then, the Taijia Divine Art erupted into action.

It seems to have sensed the earthshaking changes currently taking place on the Xuanhuang Realm's side. The consciousness of the Star Sea deliberately avoided him and did not respond to Li Fan for a time.

Li Fan persisted without giving up. At the same time, he transmitted the Taijia Divine Art to the Great Celestial Venerables of successive generations.

Thus, eight figures joined the ritual of communicating with the Star Sea one after another.

Anyone capable of becoming a Great Celestial Venerable of the Xuanhuang Realm was an unparalleled genius of their era. The First Generation Great Celestial Venerable had even possessed a True Immortal body.

Although they had already passed away, the imprints they had left behind still retained some of their original characteristics. With all eight joining forces to perform the ritual, the Infinite Star Sea was forced to establish a connection, no matter how unwilling it was.

"Equal Heaven!"

Under Li Fan's direction, the eight figures jointly cast the Equal Heaven Divine Art toward the consciousness of the Star Sea.

An immeasurable and boundless radiance of brilliant starlight suddenly illuminated the Xuanhuang Realm.

The stillness forced upon the world by the ascension into an Immortal Domain was briefly broken, allowing everything to resume its operation.

"Great Celestial Venerables, please offer yourselves to the Dao!"

Li Fan's expression was solemn as he bowed to each of them in turn.

First came Wuming.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wuming used his body as a passageway, absorbing and receiving the infinite power of the Star Sea into the Xuanhuang Realm.

Then came Heavenly Dao Bai.

One after another, the illusory figures of the Great Celestial Venerables flew toward various parts of the Xuanhuang Realm, guiding down the infinite power of the Star Sea.

Until finally, it was the First Generation Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.

His indistinct outline transformed into brilliant blue light under the infusion of the infinite power of the Star Sea. The giant figure formed from starlight did not immediately fly toward the position where it was supposed to go.

Instead, it somewhat inexplicably looked toward the stone slab that Li Fan had been holding aloft.

The illusory figure of the Great Celestial Venerable did not remain motionless for long.

Moments later, it arrived beside Li Fan in an instant.

With a single finger, it lightly touched the stone tablet.

Everything happened far too quickly.

The First Generation Great Celestial Venerable's movement was so swift that even Li Fan, who was empowered by the strength of the Xuanhuang Realm, failed to react.

His heart jolted. He immediately summoned the [Truth] interface, preparing for whatever might happen next.

To his surprise, however, after the First Generation's illusory figure pressed a single finger against the stone slab, it made no further move.

Nor did any strange phenomenon occur.

After remaining in this stalemate for several breaths, the Great Celestial Venerable's illusory figure withdrew its finger on its own. Then, as if it had finally fulfilled some long held obsession, it went to the position where it was supposed to be.

Li Fan was slightly stunned at first. After a moment of thought, he understood.

"This is not the original body of the Dao's Key stone slab from the Immortal Ascension Platform of the past. It is merely a replica left behind by the Xuantian King."

"...Fortunately."

"If that were not the case, this illusory figure, which still possesses a trace of the First Generation Great Celestial Venerable's instincts, might have brought me a catastrophe."

Li Fan secretly felt fortunate.

With the limbs of the Heavenly Beast supporting the Xuanhuang Realm, and the eight Great Celestial Venerables connecting it to the Star Sea and continuously providing assistance through its infinite power, the Xuanhuang Realm, which had originally been on the verge of collapse, finally began to stabilize amid the extreme turbulence of crossing the boundary between the Immortal and mortal realms.

Within the vortex where the Great Dao manifested, the dense purple lightning that had appeared one after another began to decrease in frequency.

The tremors shaking the heavens and earth of the Xuanhuang Realm also gradually weakened.

Empowered by the strength of the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth, Li Fan could clearly see even with his mortal eyes.

Within the seemingly unchanged Xuanhuang Realm, some unknown and mysterious force was repeatedly tracing over everything, stroke after stroke.

Nothing seemed to have changed from the inside out. Yet everything had become more solid, more vivid, and closer to its origin.

Joy arose within Li Fan's heart.

He knew that the critical stage had been successfully endured. Now came the moment when the transformation and ascension would descend.

"However, this is not the time to celebrate prematurely."

Li Fan stood quietly and continued waiting for the right moment.

Until the vortex in the sky began to shrink, and the Great Dao evolution of the Immortal and mortal transformation was about to end.

Li Fan moved again.

"Great Celestial Venerables, please mend Heaven!"

His expression was sincere as he simultaneously transmitted his intention.

During the process of balancing the power of the Star Sea and helping the Xuanhuang Realm overcome its crisis, the illusory figures of the Great Celestial Venerables of successive generations had already become existences similar to Star Spirits.

In the past, the Xuanhuang Realm had existed within the Star Sea. Thus, the Great Celestial Venerables could perhaps serve both purposes.

But now, even if the Xuanhuang Realm transformed and ascended into an Xuanhuang Immortal Domain, how could the Great Celestial Venerable of an Immortal Domain remain subordinate to the Star Sea?

...

Li Fan's meaning was extremely clear.

It was also genuinely in accordance with the interests of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Having recovered from the brink of death and now seeing hope of proving the Dao and becoming an Immortal Domain, the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm also cooperated with Li Fan and issued the order.

Of the eight Great Celestial Venerables, all except Wuming were originally transformed from world imprints.

Thus, they offered little resistance. Their indistinct figures slowly dissolved.

They disappeared into the infinite power of the Star Sea.

Even if Star Spirits were immortal and indestructible, once the vessels on which they depended no longer existed, they could only disappear from Heaven and Earth.

This was not merely a simple matter of ending the summoning.

The Xuanhuang Realm was completely erasing the primordial imprints that several Great Celestial Venerables of the past had left behind within Heaven and Earth.

This also meant that from this point onward, the Xuanhuang Realm would never again be able to summon the illusory figures of the Great Celestial Venerables.

The Star Spirits dissipated, and the passage connecting to the infinite power of the Star Sea gradually closed.

But the consumption caused by the Immortal and mortal transformation was also rapidly decreasing.

With Qiushui providing support, it was already sufficient.

After sending away the seven Great Celestial Venerable figures who posed the greatest threat, Li Fan looked toward the final one, Wuming.

The Great Celestial Venerable Wuming possessed neither knowledge nor consciousness. He merely followed the natural operation of the Heavenly Dao.

Now that the time had come for him to make the correct choice, Wuming first established the succession trial for the next Great Celestial Venerable.

Then, the Wuming Flame suddenly blazed fiercely from within his body.

Just like the previous generation Great Celestial Venerable Su Bai, he had chosen to die by his own hand.

When the flames upon Great Celestial Venerable Wuming completely engulfed him and then vanished, the Xuanhuang Realm's path of ascension and transformation, with the eight Great Celestial Venerables as sacrifices, finally reached its final moment.

It was about to cross that boundary between the Immortal and mortal realms.

Li Fan suddenly gained an insight.

The instant the Xuanhuang Realm ascended into an Immortal Domain, all the various agreements it had previously entered into with Li Fan would become nothing more than waste paper.

They would no longer count.

Even mortals make agreements and contracts with one another.

How could an Immortal and a mortal possibly remain bound by such things?

As inspiration suddenly struck him, taking advantage of the final moment during which he still controlled the power of the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth, Li Fan summoned the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, Ink Death.

The next instant...

The vortex in the sky completely healed.

Amid a deafening roar, the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth resumed its operation.

Stripes of seven colored light appeared throughout every corner of Heaven and Earth, constantly leaping and flickering across the world.

The Xuanhuang Realm, which had originally been compressed to its absolute limit, began to rebound and transform after reaching its lowest point.

It began growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, the Xuanhuang Realm once again became vast, with high heavens and distant earth.

In a single instant, billions of miles passed. From Li Fan's field of vision, after only a few breaths, he could no longer clearly see the giant pillars supporting the heavens at the four corners of the world.

...

Li Fan took in the astonishing changes occurring within the Xuanhuang Realm.

Relying on the final trace of the Xuanhuang Realm's remaining power, he vaguely sensed that far beyond the heavens, in an extremely distant place, the Hunger Immortal within the Immortal Ruins seemed to have awakened.

However, she inexplicably stared at the Immortal Domain that had appeared before her and cautiously chose not to emerge rashly. She merely observed from afar.

Meanwhile, within the Daoyuan Prefecture of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Grand Mage and that illusory figure remained in a state of slumber.

It was just that the illusory figure, whose voice of transmitting the Dao had not sounded for a long time, once again began spontaneously chanting.

The sleeping Grand Mage furrowed his brows tightly. His mouth repeatedly opened and closed, likewise uttering the sound of transmitting the Dao.

When the two voices met, however, they did not overlap.

Instead, they actually canceled each other out.

In the end, everything fell into silence.

Outside the Xuanhuang Realm, the Heavenly Doctor and the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor had just broken through the High Wall that Li Fan had established.

Looking at the Xuanhuang Realm that had appeared before them, both familiar and unfamiliar, they stood there dumbfounded.

What surprised Li Fan was that the face of the Immortal Ancestor began to flicker and transform.

It seemed as though something was about to break out of its shell.

...

Within the Xuanhuang Realm, countless changes occurred one after another as it formally ascended into an Immortal Domain.

Yet in truth, the vast majority of Li Fan's attention was focused on the Celestial Spirit Heaven and Earth before him, or rather, Ink Death.

As the Xuanhuang Realm transformed from mortal to immortal.

Ink Death also completed the transformation from mortal to immortal before Li Fan's eyes.

Originally, it had merely possessed the vague shape of a human body formed from dense black ink.

After transforming into a Celestial Spirit Heaven and Earth, its appearance became far more detailed and concrete.

It had even gained a long robe that billowed in the wind.

Ink Death's face did not possess ordinary human features. Instead, constantly shifting and changing black symbols wandered across its face.

As Li Fan and the Celestial Spirit Heaven and Earth, Ink Death, stared directly at each other, an instinctive and frenzied warning arose within Li Fan's heart.

Perhaps because Li Fan was the absolute greatest contributor who had single handedly driven the Xuanhuang Realm's ascension and transformation, Ink Death, which was purely an embodiment of the Law of Destruction, did not immediately choose to attack.

But that did not mean Li Fan would hesitate.

'Xuanhuang.'

'World Destruction Transformation.'

Li Fan silently recited the words in his heart.

The bombs he had secretly implanted in the Xuanhuang Realm long ago were detonated in an instant.

When the Xuanhuang Realm had once merely been an ordinary cultivation world, the World Destruction Transformation had already been terrifying.

Now that the Xuanhuang Realm had ascended and transformed into an Immortal Realm, the World Destruction Transformation that erupted within it was even more indescribably horrifying.

The world had transformed into an Immortal Domain, yet the countless living beings within it had not even had time to enjoy the blessings brought by the ascension of all things.

The terrifying disaster had already descended.

Cold winds howled, freezing heaven and earth, space and time in an instant. All living beings within it had no time to react whatsoever before becoming part of the ice crystals.

Terrifying bolts of lightning descended from the sky. Wherever the electric radiance swept, everything was transformed into pure nothingness. The lightning born from heaven and earth itself seemed determined to destroy heaven and earth.

...

The Xuanhuang Realm, which had ascended into an Immortal Domain, had only just stabilized.

Yet it immediately welcomed the terrifying transformation brought about by the descent of countless tribulations.

The Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm was both furious and shocked, yet it could not understand what was happening.

The Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth, Ink Death, was also stunned.

Because it keenly sensed that the vast majority of these world destroying calamities were all coming toward it.

No longer concerned with the cultivator before it, Ink Death attempted to join forces with the other Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirits of the Xuanhuang Realm to suppress and calm the various world destroying changes.

'Immortal Descent, All Things Return to Void.'

An utterly indifferent voice interrupted Ink Death's movements.

It was as though it had suddenly been transported into a completely unfamiliar region. The scene of the Xuanhuang Realm before Ink Death's eyes suddenly changed.

In its place was an endless storm of destruction.

Li Fan, concealed within the phantom of a Wooden Sword, had billions upon billions of brilliant stars simultaneously shine within his mind.

Each one was deducing a portion of a magnificent Immortal Formation.

As these billions upon billions of stars united and carried out their deductions together, they brought the true Immortal Formation into existence.

[Final Dissociation Disc, Immortal Formation]!

With the assistance of immortal spiritual qi, the Final Dissociation Disc, which had originally shattered into countless particles, was formally reborn from the flames.

Under the miraculous effects of immortal spiritual qi, every single particle once again transformed into an entirely new Final Dissociation Disc.

Billions upon billions of stars shone brightly, and the newly born Final Dissociation Discs stood like countless True Immortals, radiant and resplendent.

The deduction ability of the Immortal Formation Final Dissociation Disc had already somewhat exceeded Li Fan's understanding.

With merely a slight movement of his thoughts, the Final Dissociation Disc had already begun endlessly iterating the formation according to Li Fan's requirements.

It did not even require Li Fan to personally arrange the formation.

Drops of immortal spiritual power dispersed from the billions upon billions of cores of the Immortal Formation Final Dissociation Disc.

They spontaneously evolved into a formation.

Thus, a genuine Immortal-grade Grand Formation was born.

Compared with the formations Li Fan had previously arranged, its might was like heaven and earth apart.

Even at the very instant it was generated, the Immortal Formation Final Dissociation Disc was already iterating and improving it.

From the moment the formation began to the moment it was completed, it had already evolved through dozens of generations of versions.

It seemed to possess the might to transform all things into complete nothingness.

In the past, even a phantom of the Hunger Immortal had been able to casually suppress the [Immortal Descent, All Things Return to Void] Grand Formation with a wave of its hand.

But now...

Within this Immortal grade formation, Ink Death, the Heaven and Earth Celestial Spirit, was visibly being struck and diminished at an astonishing speed.

'Hmm?'

'This Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth is weaker than I imagined?'

Seeing this, Li Fan felt little joy. Instead, he was somewhat caught off guard and surprised.

While controlling the Immortal Formation, he observed the Xuanhuang Immortal Domain at the same time.

Only now did Li Fan discover something abnormal.

Although the Immortal Domain had clearly descended, the black qi of the Dao Annihilation Calamity at the center of the Star Sea seemed to show very little reaction.

Its reaction was completely different from the previous life, when the true Immortal Domain had unfolded.

Within the newly born Xuanhuang Immortal Domain, no new immortal spiritual qi was being generated either.

It had merely crossed the barrier between mortals and immortals.

Yet it had not undergone the qualitative transformation that came with becoming truly immortal.

For some reason, all of this made Li Fan think of the Xuantian King from long ago.

'He had clearly ascended and become an immortal, yet there was no immortal spiritual qi.'

'Half Immortal, Half Immortal...'

'Could it be that after exhausting everything I had, what I transformed was merely a Half Immortal Domain?'

Li Fan could not help feeling somewhat irritated.

However, he quickly calmed down.

A Half Immortal was still an immortal.

From the Xuantian King ten thousand years ago to the Xuanhuang Realm today, both had ended up in the same state.

Perhaps the problem was not that his attempt had gone wrong.

Rather, after the destruction of the Immortal Realm, something had gone fundamentally wrong with the entire cultivation path of the past.

Sensing that the cautious Hunger Immortal seemed to have finally decided to come and investigate, Li Fan no longer hesitated.

The Immortal Formation Final Dissociation Disc operated at full power.

Under the All Things Return to Void Grand Formation, the Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth, Ink Death, was blasted by endless violent winds.

Bit by bit, it was blown into nothingness.

At the same time that Ink Death dissipated between heaven and earth, an incomparably immense force descended upon Li Fan.

Li Fan had finally stepped into the Dao Integration Realm.

But this was somewhat different from the ideal state he had planned.

Before he even had time to think about it, the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm sensed that Ink Death had disappeared, and that Li Fan was actually the culprit.

It instantly went mad.

In its eyes, Li Fan had accompanied it all the way from mortality to the present. He was someone who was both teacher and friend.

Yet now, when the Xuanhuang Realm was facing a world destroying crisis, Li Fan had chosen to turn his blade against it.

This was a complete and utter betrayal.

The Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm, driven to the extreme by rage, ignored the world destroying disasters occurring throughout its own body.

Countless Immortal Spirits of Heaven and Earth descended around Li Fan.

They were determined to kill him.

Within the All Things Return to Void Grand Formation, Li Fan felt little fear.

Taking advantage of the final moments of this life, he observed the Xuanhuang Immortal Domain that had only half successfully completed its ascension.

The sun in the sky, the Five Elements power flowing through the world, and the azure light of the Taixu Blue Heaven Lamp protecting the Xuanhuang Realm.

There were also the four Immortal Pillars supporting the heavens.

In this so called Xuanhuang Immortal Domain, there were actually only these few places where traces of immortal spiritual qi existed.

'Perhaps as time passes, this immortal spiritual qi will slowly spread and permeate throughout the realm.'

'It will gradually transform this place into a true Xuanhuang Immortal Domain.'

'But...'

'It still cannot compare with the Immortal Realm I once witnessed, the glorious Immortal Realm of the past.'

Li Fan let out a sigh in his heart.

'Indeed.'

'With the Immortal Realm destroyed, how can one become truly Immortal?'

A sense of utter boredom suddenly arose within Li Fan's heart.

The All Things Return to Void Grand Formation was gradually being broken through by the Immortal Spirits of Heaven and Earth that charged forward without fear of death.

Li Fan no longer lingered.

He silently recited, "[Truth]."

When [Truth] was activated once again, the dejection in Li Fan's heart immediately vanished without a trace.

Because the way [Truth] activated was clearly different from before.
