My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 580

"Mm?"

Li Fan squinted his eyes, trying to discern the object obstructing his path in the pitch darkness.

What surprised him, however, was that neither his spiritual sense nor his physical touch revealed the presence of any obstacle ahead.

Li Fan frowned slightly.

This time, instead of aligning with the ripples that emerged in the spatial void, he deliberately bypassed their timing and directly sped forward.

Strangely, the “wall” he had perceived within the ripples earlier seemed to have vanished as though it had never existed.

Li Fan could clearly sense that his position within this void-like space had shifted.

Or rather, part of his positional attributes had altered, while another part remained unmoving.

It felt as though moving by his own momentum and following the ripples' flow were two entirely different planes of existence, each unaffected by the other.

This perplexing phenomenon was beyond Li Fan’s current understanding.

For now, he set aside the question of what lay behind it. Clearing his mind, he waited for the ripples to reappear in the void.

When the ripples arrived, he aligned himself with them, knowingly hurtling toward the "obstacle" ahead.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Li Fan saw stars as he was forced out of alignment with the ripples.

After inspecting himself, he found that while his body remained unharmed, his soul seemed to have suffered a slight shock.

Pondering for a moment, Li Fan decided to abandon such reckless attempts for now.

He did not leave the area. Instead, he stood quietly in the void, focusing his mind to analyze each ripple as it arrived, hoping to discover why he was being obstructed while the ripples passed through unhindered.

When he concentrated in this absolute darkness and silence, the occasional ripple became particularly striking.

Li Fan meticulously recorded the timing of each ripple.

After patiently collecting data from tens of thousands of occurrences, he replicated the pattern in the Dao Deviation Stone within his Sea of Consciousness, attempting to uncover any hidden rules.

Effort rewarded diligence.

Li Fan discovered that roughly every thousand ripples, one distinctive ripple would appear, significantly stronger and faster than the others, spreading nearly twice as fast across the void.

Heart stirred, Li Fan calculated the intervals. When the anomaly reappeared, he steadied his spirit and aligned himself with it.

This time, his attempt produced results. It was no longer like colliding with a wall but instead felt like rubbing against an obstruction.

A sharp, knife-like pain surged from the depths of his soul. Enduring the agony, Li Fan gritted his teeth and persisted.

However, the deeper the ripple went, the more incompatible he became with his surroundings.

He did not know how much time had passed, but when he finally regained consciousness, he found himself in a mysterious yet strangely familiar space.

In this realm, horizontal and vertical lines intersected, while particles of various colors zipped along the lines at great speed.

Occasionally, particles collided, bursting into radiant seven-colored lights before vanishing as quickly as they appeared.

"Where is this?"

Li Fan first examined his body.

Surprisingly, it appeared as though crudely sketched from intersecting lines—both comical and eerie.

Yet, it felt no different from his normal physical form.

Careful not to act rashly, Li Fan evaded the streaking particles as he observed the wondrous space.

“This seems somewhat similar to the Tianxuan Mirror Space I saw before.”

“However, the Tianxuan Mirror only displayed black and white, unlike this colorful realm.”

“Wait, I remember...”

Li Fan’s heart stirred as he replayed stored images in the Dao Deviation Stone, analyzing them closely.

In the final frame, he noted that the edges of the black-and-white world also contained traces of seven-colored light.

It seemed black and white, and seven colors were two opposing energies.

In the black-and-white world, the seven-colored light was fragmented and assimilated into its form.

“A Newborn Tianxuan Mirror...”

Li Fan squinted his eyes, lost in thought.

Before long, he arrived at a conjecture.

The black-and-white world undoubtedly represented the Tianxuan Mirror.

The seven-colored radiance, on the other hand, likely embodied a microcosm of the real world.

The intersecting lines resembled the laws of nature, as seen through the [Human Dao Stardust], representing the principles governing the real world.

“The Tianxuan Mirror is deciphering the real world in its own way...”

“And this...”

Li Fan's eyes lit up with understanding.

“...is a microcosm of the world in its primordial state.”
