My longevity simulation

Returning to Haixuan Island, Ji Shaoli naturally received numerous banquet invitations and requests for meetings.

He completely ignored them.

“There are too many eyes and ears around. This clone is not suitable for going out right now. I should remain in seclusion for a while.”

“However, the fact that the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance actually allowed the rejected candidates of the Chosen Immortal Plan to return is truly unexpected.” Ji Shaoli frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.

If the Thirty-Three Immortal Selection Plan were truly of great importance, then at the very least, before the plan had fulfilled its intended purpose, the identities of the chosen ones should have remained secret.

Naturally, those who were not selected should not have been released. Instead, their return should have been prevented to keep the true identities of the Thirty-Three Immortal Candidates hidden.

Yet, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance had no such intentions…

“It doesn’t matter who they are.”

“As long as there are thirty-three individuals who meet the conditions, that’s enough.”

“Interesting. Let me see what the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is really up to.”

“It’s time to put some pressure on them again.”

Ji Shaoli’s clone remained seated on Haixuan Island, motionless.

Meanwhile, in the Spiritwood Realm, Lin Ling, following Li Fan’s orders, once again went to Jiushan Prefecture to contact the Five Elders Association.

The Five Elders Association questioned why there had been no response for so long.

Lin Ling, following Li Fan’s prior instructions, informed him about the matter of merging the dazzling orb with the two strange powers of “Heart Monkey” and “Intent Horse.”

Although the representative of the Five Elders Association remained outwardly calm, Lin Ling keenly sensed the intense psychological fluctuations within them.

After delivering another batch of supplies as a gesture of gratitude, the Five Elders Association began inquiring about the “Thirty-Three Chosen Immorta Planl.”

Lin Ling remained vague, skillfully evading their inquiries.

Just as they were about to feel disappointed, Lin Ling dropped a bombshell.

“In response to the Five Elders Association’s watchful gaze, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance has not only developed the Chosen Immortal Plan but has also created numerous world-shaking weapons, including the ‘Sky-Splitting Cannon.’ If you do not take action soon, you may regret it when it’s too late.”

Lin Ling faithfully relayed Li Fan’s exact words.

Along with them, a recorded image was transmitted.

A black pillar of light, capable of annihilating all in its path, pierced through layers of white mist, erasing everything before it. Get full chapters from novel⁂fire.net

Even after the black pillar faded, the void it created remained unfilled for a long time, its lingering power repelling anything that approached.

Even in the blurry footage, the might of the Sky-Splitting Cannon was undeniable.

No matter how composed the Five Elders Association’s representative was, they could not conceal their shock.

Taking a deep breath, they cupped their hands and promised future gratitude before hastily departing.

Watching the figure disappear, Lin Ling smirked before returning through the earth veins to report back.

Inside the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven

“I don’t know if the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance has truly completed this world-ending weapon. But whether it’s real or not doesn’t matter.”

“The Five Elders Association was already restless, merely delayed by the Immortal Alliance’s clever tactics.”

“Now, with the radiant orb incident resolved, and the added pressure of the Thirty-Three Chosen Immortal Candidates and the Sky-Splitting Cannon, I believe they will choose to strike first.”

“Now, all I have to do is wait.”

Receiving Lin Ling’s report, Li Fan pondered for a moment before shifting his focus.

Inside his dantian, a seven-colored sphere radiated divine light, mesmerizing to the eye.

“As expected of a supreme treasure refined from the heavenly light of an entire world.”

“Completely mastering it won’t be a quick task.”

As spiritual energy wrapped around the seven-colored orb, countless images flashed before Li Fan’s eyes.

There were cultivators soaring through the clouds and mortals living upon the land.

These were scenes from the now-extinct Chongyan Immortal Realm.

“Unfortunately, time and space shift too unpredictably. I can’t make out the details.”

Li Fan felt a hint of regret.

So far, aside from the Xuanhuang Realm, he had learned of three cultivation realms—Xiaoyao, Taiyi, and Chongyan.

But that was all.

Beyond their names, he knew little about their inner workings.

“If I could break free from the shackles of the Immortal Ruins, I might be able to explore them.”

“But Chongyan is already destroyed. As for whether Xiaoyao and Taiyi still exist, it’s hard to say.”

As Li Fan channeled his spiritual energy, refining the seven-colored orb, his attention shifted back to devouring the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven.

Before long, however, he noticed something unusual.

The speed at which the heaven and earth’s root was proliferating had nearly doubled!

At this rate, within less than a year, the entire Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven would be completely devoured!

“Hmm?”

Li Fan had not ventured out recently.

The only variable was the newly obtained seven-colored orb.

Surprised, he carefully analyzed and studied the cause of this sudden change.

It didn’t take long for him to discover a possible explanation.

As his spiritual energy refined the seven-colored orb, a mysterious force was simultaneously nourishing and transforming his spiritual energy.

With the infusion of this power, the heaven and earth’s root seemed to have received an enormous boon, multiplying at an alarming rate.

Moreover, as Li Fan’s refining of the seven-colored orb progressed, the proliferation speed kept increasing.

Even Li Fan himself felt a hint of unease.

Like storm clouds sweeping in, Li Fan was consuming the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven at an unimaginable and terrifying speed.

“If not for the sheer number of monsters in the Xuanhuang Realm, I might have been able to claim it for myself within just a few decades using this method.”

A premonition arose in Li Fan’s mind.

“This mysterious power… what exactly is it?”

He carefully examined it.

After seven days, realization dawned upon him.

“The Power of the World’s Source?”

“The seven-colored heavenly light of Chongyan Realm was a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao, containing the world’s fundamental source power.”

“After being refined into a treasure, this power remained within it.”

“In ordinary combat or flight, this attribute wouldn’t reveal itself. However, when it comes into contact with the heaven and earth’s root—a method specifically designed to consume entire worlds—it triggers a reaction!”

“Like a catalyst, it greatly amplifies the power of the heaven and earth’s root, accelerating the process of devouring this Cave-Heaven.”

“Strictly speaking, the loss of the world’s source would weaken the seven-colored orb to some extent.”

“But that’s just a matter of time. Ultimately, it doesn’t make a real difference.”

“For me, however…”

“It doesn’t matter at all!”

Li Fan understood everything now.

With this realization, he accelerated his refining and extraction of the world’s source power.

“If the Power of the World’s Source can aid advancement at the Nascent Soul stage…”

“Then what about the Soul Transformation, Dao Integration, and even the Longevity Immortal stages?”

“Could it still provide assistance?”

As he gazed at the rapidly proliferating countless tendrils, Li Fan couldn’t help but ponder.

Using the power of one world to devour another…

What was once an impossible feat had now become reality, thanks to this supreme treasure, the Fishing Pond.
