My longevity simulation

In the following period, the Immortal Ancestor’s Dharma Form manifestation appeared with remarkable frequency.

Within a month, it had manifested a total of five times.

On one occasion, it even appeared twice within just two days.

Initially, Li Fan had assumed that unleashing such a grand technique would force the Thirty-Three Chosen Immortals to pay a significant price.

However, based on this frequency, it seemed that was not the case.

Each time the Immortal Ancestor’s Dharma Form manifestation appeared, it was in different regions governed by the Five Elders Association. After forcing the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Five Elders Association to take action, it would quietly vanish once again.

What was even more terrifying was that, with each fleeting appearance, the manifestation seemed to become increasingly “lifelike.”

At first, it merely opened its eyes.

Then, over time, it began to attempt palm strikes.

It was hard to imagine—if it continued practicing enough times, would it eventually become indistinguishable from the true Immortal Ancestor?

“It doesn’t need to reach the level of the Immortal Ancestor. Even if it only attains a tenth of that power, it would be enough to give the Five Elders Association a serious headache.”

“No wonder the Five Elders Association is so anxious. They’ve sent multiple urgent inquiries, hoping I could help investigate the origins of the Thirty-Three Chosen Immortals.”

Li Fan sneered, “Unfortunately, I’m truly powerless this time.”

Ignoring the Five Elders Association, Li Fan shifted his focus to the new arrivals in the Spiritwood Realm.

At that moment, they were being led on a tour of the Spiritwood Realm by Shang Tianci.

Among them was a young man who appeared even younger than Shang Tianci. His face still bore a hint of youthful inexperience, but from time to time, a faint trace of wickedness flickered across his features.

“I say, Tianci, this small world does have some nice scenery. But calling it the ‘Federation of All Worlds’—isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?”

The speaker was Yan Fangzhou, whom Shang Tianci had gone to great lengths to bring here.

Yan Fangzhou scoffed, “Is this so-called ‘Federation of All Worlds’ just made up of this small number of people? What a waste of my excitement—I thought I was finally going to accomplish something significant.”

“Let alone overthrowing the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance—just dealing with the Martial Hall and the Guardian Hall of Shilin Prefecture would probably be beyond your capabilities.”

Shang Tianci’s face flushed red, and he was about to retort.

But before he could, a cold voice suddenly rang out:

“You’re young, but you sure have an arrogant mouth. Why don’t you test it out?”

The voice carried the wrath of heaven and earth, echoing throughout the small world.

Yan Fangzhou’s expression changed slightly as he attempted to locate the speaker.

To his surprise, he realized that he had been completely isolated without even noticing it. Shang Tianci was nowhere to be seen.

The entire world seemed to be expanding infinitely, while he himself felt as insignificant as an ant between heaven and earth—an endless expanse stretched before him.

Moreover, his words just now seemed to have provoked this very world.

The skies darkened, and an unimaginable killing intent enveloped him.

“Tricks and illusions!” Yan Fangzhou, being a prodigious talent, was not so easily intimidated.

“Break for me!”

A black flame suddenly emerged behind him.

The moment the black fire appeared, the previously turbulent sky instantly fell into complete stillness.

A destructive aura emanated from the black flame.

The killing intent of the world froze, and then—everything fell into complete silence.

Boom!

The surrounding scene shattered like fractured glass, exploding layer by layer.

A hint of smugness appeared on Yan Fangzhou’s face.

But that arrogance disappeared almost instantly.

Because the very next moment, what lay before him was still the same vast world, brimming with boundless killing intent!

It was as if all he had shattered just now was a mere illusion!

“No matter how many layers there are, I’ll break through them all!”

Yan Fangzhou snorted coldly, and the black flames shot up like a meteor streaking against the heavens.

Wherever it passed, space itself seemed to freeze, falling into a state of absolute stillness—

Only to be violently torn apart by the black trajectory.

The surrounding scenery shifted once again, reverting back to its original form.

The black flame’s momentum did not wane, rampaging forward relentlessly.

In the blink of an eye, countless layers of the world were shattered.

Yet…

No matter how many layers shattered, the scene surrounding and enclosing him remained unchanged.

It was like an endless labyrinth—no matter how he ignored its walls and charged straight through, he could never see the exit. As a result, he was forever trapped within this maze.

No one knew how much time had passed. The confidence on Yan Fangzhou’s face gradually faded, replaced first by disbelief and then by sheer panic.

When he finally confirmed that he could not break through the seal of this time-space confinement, his expression shifted drastically.

“If you have the guts, come out and fight me openly!”

“Do you think these petty tricks can truly subdue me?”

Yan Fangzhou shouted at the heavens, addressing the force that had trapped him.

Unfortunately, much to his disappointment, the other party seemed not to have heard him at all.

There was no response.

A cold glint flashed in Yan Fangzhou’s eyes as he took out a golden talisman, crackling with streaks of lightning.

He tossed it into the air.

But to his astonishment, the talisman—his once-reliable Void-Shattering Talisman—failed to take effect.

Not only did it fail to tear open space and create an escape route, but it also seemed lost, spinning aimlessly in midair.

Next, Yan Fangzhou desperately tried every life-saving technique he had.

None of them worked!

At this moment, he was truly panicked.

“I admit defeat!”

“I shouldn’t have spoken so arrogantly! The Federation of All Worlds truly lives up to its reputation!”

Suppressing the malice in his eyes, Yan Fangzhou shouted toward the sky.

“Senior, please allow me to join the Federation!”

The sky remained silent.

There was still no response.

Yan Fangzhou froze in shock, thinking the other party hadn’t heard him. He repeated his plea several times.

The result remained the same.

Now, he was utterly bewildered.

…

Spiritwood Realm.

Shang Tianci looked at Yan Fangzhou, who had suddenly frozen in place, and found it strange.

He called out a few times, but Yan Fangzhou seemed unable to hear him at all.

Finally, he realized something was wrong.

Around Yan Fangzhou, an invisible barrier had formed, sealing him inside.

Not only could outsiders not touch him, but it also seemed like he was completely cut off from the outside world.

“Senior…” Shang Tianci weakly addressed the newly appeared Li Fan.

“The kid has potential, but he needs some polishing. Let him stew for a year or so.” Li Fan said casually.

In his hand, a black flame flickered, constantly shifting and struggling as if trying to break free.

But it was held firmly, unable to escape his grasp.

Shang Tianci dared not argue and could only bow his head in agreement.

Li Fan looked at Yan Fangzhou, whom he had trapped using the Infinite Law, and stroked his chin in thought.

With a flick of his mind, Yan Fangzhou was instantly transported outside the Black Jade Gate of the Federation.

Like a figurine, he was carefully placed in a suitable pose.

“Once he breaks down, we’ll let him out.”

“Makes it easier to discipline him.”

Li Fan mused.
