My longevity simulation

A so-called genius is merely a strong individual who has yet to reach maturity.

As for the current Li Fan, he could easily crush them.

“This Black Flame is quite interesting.”

“However, compared to Crimson Flame, the transformation of Xuanhuang appears to be inherently more formidable.”

With a layer of Seven-Colored Jade Void Glimmering Light covering his hand, invisible to others, Li Fan effortlessly suppressed the black flames released by Yan Fangzhou and examined them closely.

“This aura seems remarkably similar to what was left after Crimson Flame burned away the Congyun Sea. Both belong to the category of great annihilation…”

Li Fan carefully contemplated.

In the previous life, within the cave-heaven created by Mr. Bai, he had never encountered such a phenomenon as [Heaven and Earth Undergoing Change]. It was indeed quite rare.

Before long, he began to grasp some insights.

“This does not seem to belong to the original Xuanhuang Realm. Rather, it originates from another world that was later merged into this realm.”

“Multiple worlds fused into one.”

“Although Xuanhuang remains the primary world, it has absorbed so many external elements that even the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao has inevitably undergone changes.”

Li Fan slowly clenched his fingers. His hand, imbued with a powerful seven-colored divine radiance, started to blur slightly.

Despite its endless struggle, the black flame was extinguished inch by inch under his grasp.

“If it were the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, I might have been tempted.”

“Unfortunately, it is merely the transformation of Heaven and Earth.”

Li Fan shook his head slightly and temporarily put aside Yan Fangzhou.

His thoughts drifted toward the upcoming Crimson Flame Burning the Sea.

“I already know the locations of many Spirit of Heaven and Earth, so there’s no need to be fixated on Crimson Flame.”

“On one hand, Crimson Flame is too weak. On the other hand…”

“Once Crimson Flame dies, Ink Death will descend. Even if I escape from Ink Death, I will likely draw the attention of the hidden powerhouses in the Xuanhuang Realm.”

“That would be far too conspicuous.”

“For now, it’s best to remain dormant.”

After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Fan made up his mind.

“The time is almost right to arrange for the members of the Congyun Sea Mutual Aid Association to retreat.”

“After all, they are hard-earned seedlings, the future core strength of the Federation of All Worlds. I can’t let them die in vain.”

At present, the strongest member of the Congyun Sea Mutual Aid Association was Pei Tuo, who had reached the early Nascent Soul stage.

Although he did not retake the Immortal Alliance entrance examination, his breakthrough in cultivation had earned him favor from the higher-ups.

Now, he had been promoted to the position of Martial Guard within the Congyun Sea Martial Hall, commanding three martial training squads—an authoritative role.

“Hmm, I need to find a way to transfer him inland.”

“But at his level, a lateral transfer would be difficult.”

“Perhaps I can help him earn some merit…”

In an instant, the faces of various Five Elders Association spies flashed through Li Fan’s mind.

Since he had already decided, his clone, Ji Shaoli, immediately began making arrangements.

Li Fan also recalled what Yan Fangzhou had just said.

“This little world is indeed scenic. But to call it the [Federation of All Worlds]—doesn’t that seem a bit undeserving of the name?”

…

“Even a young brat isn’t convinced. It seems like I need to refine it further.”

As he pondered, his divine sense swept across the surroundings. Although the Spiritwood Realm had wondrous Xuanhuang scenery, it still felt somewhat desolate.

With an idea forming, his figure flickered, and he arrived at a mountain peak.

Following the image in his memory, he focused his mind.

Before long, an ancient and solemn stone tower emerged from the earth.

Li Fan then retrieved a spire from his storage ring.

He placed it atop the stone tower.

Once the spire was set in place, the newly unearthed tower instantly radiated a mysterious and profound aura.

Li Fan nodded in satisfaction.

Looking around the stone tower, he saw buildings rising one after another amid rumbling noises.

“Once the treefolks finish decorating, it will be just about perfect.”

Arriving outside the architectural complex, Li Fan picked up a brush and wrote three large characters on a blank boulder: “Heavenly Mechanism Sect”.

“A perfect one-to-one replica, combined with the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s supreme treasure, the Heaven and Earth Divination Dice—who would dare say my Heavenly Mechanism Sect is fake?”

Li Fan smiled slightly.

Next, he repeated the process.

Recalling the scenery of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he carefully replicated it.

Looking at the newly built mountain gate, still empty and desolate, Li Fan couldn’t help but think of the Heavenly Wonder [Sword], which had yet to emerge and remained buried within the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sword Tomb.

“It’s an exceptional treasure. However, since it was left behind by Mr. Bai, it might also be part of his hidden schemes.”

“I must remain cautious.”

“Besides, all Heavenly Wonders have their own spiritual will. Even if I try to claim it, it may not submit to me.”

“Perhaps I can turn this into a favor instead.”

Thinking this, Li Fan casually broke off a wooden branch.

He recalled his own comprehension of swordsmanship in his mind.

He also referenced Mr. Bai’s red string insight from his past life, along with the enlightenment he had gained regarding the [Sword] within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Gradually, the wooden branch in his hand underwent a profound transformation.

Countless sword phantoms emerged around it.

Then, in an instant, they all merged into the branch.

The color deepened, the texture hardened.

Slowly, the branch’s original characteristics faded away.

It was becoming more and more like a true [Sword].

Unfortunately, after initially absorbing a vast number of sword phantoms, the influx of sword intent sharply decreased.

That was because Li Fan’s own comprehension had already been exhausted.

He could not sustain the transformation of this ordinary object into a Heavenly Wonder.

A moment later, Li Fan reached his limit.

Looking at the half-formed sword-branch in his hand, he shook his head slightly.

“At best, this can only be considered a ‘Human Wonder.’”

With a light grip, the sword-branch crumbled into dust.

Yet he did not feel any frustration. Unlike formations, where he devoted long periods to cultivation, his swordsmanship was merely something he had picked up along the way.

Being able to create even a Human Wonder from nothing was already an incredible feat.

“Even if I don’t take it for myself, I might as well visit the ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

“While I’m at it, I can check out the former sites of the Medicine King Sect, the Purple Heaven Sect, and other lost sects.”

Li Fan planned to recreate these cultivation sects—long erased by the river of history—within the Spiritwood Realm.

Of course, he wouldn’t need to make them perfect. As long as they were convincing enough to deceive others, that would suffice.

“I have the relics of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.”

“In the future, when the True Cauldron of the Medicine King returns, I will even have the original members of the Medicine King Sect.”

“Blurring truth with falsehood—who would be able to tell the difference?”

Feeling a bit pleased with himself, Li Fan exited the Spiritwood Realm and headed straight for the ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The known ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect were located in Tianguang Prefecture.

However, in his past life, Li Fan had learned from Shuo Feng that the Sword Tomb—where the [Sword] was truly located—was not in Tianguang Prefecture.

Instead, it was in Tianyou Prefecture, separated by a single region.

The area had been split in two by the White Mist Barrier, keeping the Sword Tomb hidden from the world.

Thus, no one had ever discovered it.

Traveling discreetly, avoiding the attention of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance cultivators along the way, Li Fan soon arrived at the ruins of the Tianyou Prefecture Sword Tomb.

Looking at the unremarkable site before him, which resembled nothing more than a neglected mass grave, he couldn’t help but sigh:

“Who would have thought that the mighty Heavenly Sword Sect would one day fall into such a state?”
