My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 567

Although Li Fan wasn’t entirely sure what the opponent meant by the so-called “Xuantian Spirit-Sealing Formation”.

However, it wasn’t hard to infer that the term referred to the Mysterious Net, which had begun to demonstrate its extraordinary potential on the battlefield of Tianling Prefecture.

Without betraying any emotion, Li Fan probed, “Based on our calculations, even with the assistance of the Xuantian Spirit-Sealing Formation, the Five Elders Association shouldn’t be losing ground so rapidly or finding itself in such a dire position, correct?”

The other party sighed and admitted, “We truly underestimated them this time. Who could have imagined that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would be able to recreate this ancient formation so quickly?”

“And it seems to be even more formidable than the recorded descriptions.”

The Five Elders Association cultivator spoke with frustration: “Our countermeasures haven’t been fully prepared yet. That’s why the situation on the Tianling Prefecture battlefield has become rather precarious for now.”

“That’s why we urgently need a method to weaken their formation.”

Li Fan remained silent, rhythmically tapping his fingers on the table as if deep in thought.

“To acquire the formation diagram for the Xuantian Spirit-Sealing Formation, even for us, would come at an enormous cost. Some comrades who have infiltrated the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would likely need to sacrifice their lives.”

“And even then, success is far from guaranteed...”

After a long pause, Li Fan finally spoke, his tone hesitant. “This matter is of great significance. I cannot make a decision on my own. Let’s do this—give me three days, and I’ll return here with an answer.”

Although the Five Elders Association cultivator was anxious, he recognized the validity of Li Fan’s reasoning and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

“By the way, let’s meet at a different location next time. These are turbulent times, and it’s better to err on the side of caution.” With that, he gave Li Fan the coordinates of another island.

Li Fan clasped his hands in farewell and left swiftly, returning to the Congyun Immortal City.

“Tianxuan Spirit Locking, Xuantian Sealing Spirit.”

“Ancient times, Tianxuan Mirror...”

“Xuantian Sect, huh?”

In his secluded chamber, Li Fan’s gaze flickered as he sank into contemplation.

“That scene on the battlefield, where countless cultivators plummeted from the sky to the ground in an instant—it felt oddly familiar...”

“That’s right—Nine Mountains Prefecture!”

Within Nine Mountains Prefecture, the nine mountain ranges had the peculiar property of preventing cultivators from flying over them.

In his previous life, Li Fan had traveled to the Ten Thousand Laws Chamber of Commerce in Nine Mountains Prefecture for procurement. There, he had witnessed the tragic fate of several defiant cultivators who fell to their deaths.

“Could there be some connection here?”

After being buried in dust for thousands of years, it was rediscovered by a passing cultivator.

According to this cultivator, named Tang Bowen, he understood the past events through a lingering thousand-year-old resentment within the storage ring.

Of course, this claim might have been fabricated by Tang Bowen to inflate the value of "Dream Encounter with Ancient Beasts."

Regardless, the painting indeed dates back thousands of years.

It depicts over a hundred beasts in various forms, some of which Li Fan had encountered in the Fallen Immortal Realm.

What truly captivated Li Fan about the painting, beyond these obvious beasts, was the hidden presence of another creature.

At the very edge of the painting, it appeared that these hundred beasts were all standing on the body of a colossal being.

However, due to its immense size, it could not be fully depicted.

Instead, the hundred beasts on its back served as a frame of reference.

"Vast and formless, its name is Heaven."

This phrase was inscribed in a corner of the painting.

This minimalist creative style naturally attracted much commentary from cultivators.

An insightful observer revealed the truth with a single remark:

"I know this. Isn't it that giant tortoise that transformed into the Nine Mountain Province after its death?"

The tone was somewhat mocking but not unfounded.

Indeed, the creature’s name consists of the characters for "King" (王) and "Eight" (八).

It is named Tiān (兲).

It is called Heaven.

"The Heavenly Beast..."

A sharp light flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
