My Simulated Longevity

"I'm just afraid that the remains of the true immortal will come back to life."

As Mo Rubin said these words, I don't know if it was Li Ping's illusion, but the depths of the dark sea seemed to be really colder.

It seemed as if some unknown existence suddenly stared at him, and a chill suddenly arose in his heart.

The Holy Emperor looked around solemnly, but did not find anyone peeping secretly.

Looking at the body of Daoist Sect Fang Dingge again, Li Ping asked: "Having become like this, can you still live again?"

Of course, what Li Ping asked was not Fang Dingge, but the true immortal whose immortal body transformed into the sea of ​​darkness and whose thoughts transformed into the realm of fallen immortals.

Mo Rubin also looked at the corpse not far away and said softly: "Let me tell you a story."

"Our Jiu Lian Temple once enshrined a stone statue of the Patriarch. It is said that it was built by the Jiu Lian Patriarch, Master Miaofa himself."

"This stone statue has been worshiped for thousands of years. If the disciples in the temple have any doubts on the path of spiritual practice, as long as they sincerely pray to it, most of them will get a response. Therefore, it has been popular for so many years."

"Then one day, calamity clouds suddenly enveloped the sky above Jiulian Temple, and divine thunder struck down, but the target was the stone elephant of the ancestor! A human figure broke through the stone elephant and rushed straight into the nine heavens! This man's strength is terrifying , the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, which can instantly kill Hedao, can't do anything to him. He laughed endlessly in the lightning, and was about to withstand the thunder tribulation and fly away..."

Mo Rubin paused again when he reached the key point.

After waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait for the Holy Emperor to urge him, so he had to hold his breath and continue speaking: "The fragments of the stone statue of the ancestor that were scattered on the ground unexpectedly gathered together again quietly. They approached the person who had overcome the tribulation. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he swallowed him back into the stone statue!"

"Now, no matter how hard the figure struggles, it can no longer escape from the stone statue. And the stone statue also flies up through the air together with the figure!"

After hearing this somewhat mysterious story, Li Ping couldn't help but frown slightly.

Mo Rubin asked: "Guess, among the two people who ascended together, who is our Nine Refining Temple Patriarch?"

Li Ping pondered for a while and replied: "The figure in the stone statue needs to face the catastrophe of ascension. Should he be the one? He failed to ascend during his lifetime, and he was worshiped by his disciples in the form of a stone elephant. He saved up for thousands of years in an attempt to ascend..."

Mo Rubin smiled slightly: "Wrong!"

"The founder of Jiu Lian Guan, Master Miao Fa, has a clear record of ascending to immortality in full view of the public. However, only the past masters of Jiu Lian Guan know that Master Miao Fa's first steps after entering the immortal world Two years later, he died for unknown reasons!"

Li Ping was stunned when he heard this.

Mo Rubin continued with satisfaction: "However, the stone statue that he made with his own hands has a back-up left by him. Even if his soul is destroyed in the upper world, he can still be reborn with the help of this stone statue!"

Li Ping frowned again: "Who is the figure in the stone statue?"

Mo Rubin chuckled: "He is the third generation leader of our Jiulian Temple. This person did not follow the instructions of the ancestor and wanted to establish new sect rules. After an internal fight, he was seriously injured and failed. He has disappeared since then. Unexpectedly, he has been missing all this time. Hidden inside the stone statue of the Patriarch, he actually practiced to the realm of ascension in one breath."

"But I still made someone else's wedding clothes in vain."

"Master Miaofa, he ascended to immortality in just one year and has no real background. He was able to be reborn through the stone elephant. Not to mention the true immortal."

"Look at this sea of ​​darkness, and you can imagine how powerful He was during his lifetime. To put it bluntly, don't use our monks' eyes to speculate on [Immortal]'s methods. It's really a world of difference!"

Perhaps because they had communicated with each other for a period of time, Mo Rubin's mood became much more stable, and he spoke out from his feelings.

Li Ping remained silent.

He felt that the relationship between Master Miaofa's rebirth with the help of stone statues and the third generation head of Jiulian Temple was still untrue.

But it is an ancient secret after all, and now is not the time to go deep into dangerous places.

"Then do we still want to go deeper? The way Fang Dingge died tragically is not something ordinary monks can do." Li Ping changed the subject.

"Go in and take a look first. If the true immortal has resurrected from the dead, he will definitely not be able to stay where he is after so many years." Mo Rubin said, bypassing Fang Dingge's remains and continuing to dive into the darkness.

Passing through three formation passes, some originally belonged to the Soul Gathering and Immortal Formation, and some were set up by latecomers.

With the joint efforts of Li Ping and Mo Rubin, after a lot of effort, they finally reached the control center of the Spirit Gathering and Immortal Formation.

Along the way, no bones of the other four deceased immortals were found.

The control center is clearly in the deepest part of the darkness, but it is like a transparent observation tower.

Through the array-restricted entity that surrounds this place like a panoramic glass, Li Ping and Mo Rubin were able to see the entire sea of ​​darkness clearly.

Even though it has been magnified an unknown number of times, one can still clearly see the outline of the Dark Sea that resembles the appearance of a human being.

It was obvious that this was not the first time for Mo Rubin to come here. He was not distracted by the magnificent sight in front of him, but came to the center of the observation tower.

Slight discoloration.

"One good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Mo Rubin asked.

After Li Ping was silent for a moment, he still responded: "Let's tell you the good news first."

"The good news is that the fallen true immortal was not reborn with the help of his remains." Mo Rubin said in a faint tone.

"What about the bad news?"

Mo Rubin sneered: "You'll know when you come and see."

Li Ping walked slowly to where Mo Rubin was.

The scene in front of me suddenly changed, and the high observation tower seemed to be falling rapidly in an instant.

The scene of the dark sea below is rapidly approaching and constantly enlarging.

Suddenly it came into view, reaching deep into the soul.

boom!

The surrounding scene changed, as if they had left the Sea of ​​Darkness and arrived at a new and unknown place.

"Do not move."

Mo Rubin's voice sounded in his heart. Li Ping felt a little relieved and looked around.

He saw the other four immortals who had fallen.

They maintained the same posture as at the last moment of their lives, but unlike Fang Dingge, their faces were covered with a layer of gray, and their specific appearance could no longer be seen clearly.

We can only vaguely see the terrifying power that they tried to stop and devour them during their lifetime.

Li Ping tried to find the culprit who caused the death of these five immortals.

The gray vine material stretching out from the feet of the four immortal bodies, spreading and entangled together, attracted Li Ping's attention.

In Li Ping's observation, these gray vines are definitely dead things without life breath, just aggregation of pure energy.

But for some reason, when facing them, Li Ping felt like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"What is this?" He asked just because he didn't understand. Li Ping didn't have any mental barriers.

"This is [the meaning of survival]. The meaning of survival of the remains of the true immortal."

After a while, Mo Rubin slowly answered Li Ping's question.

"The meaning of survival?" Li Ping carefully understood the meaning of these four words.

"True immortals cannot be speculated on a regular basis. When Brother Xuanyuan was transforming the remains of the true immortals, he had concerns about this. In order to prevent him from resurrecting, many additional arrangements were made. But I didn't expect..."

Although Li Ping couldn't see Mo Rubin's figure, he could feel him staring closely at the gray [meaning of survival] scattered here.

"According to common sense, it is impossible for the remains of a true immortal that has become a sea of ​​darkness to have such a strong desire to survive."

Hearing Mo Rubin's words, Li Ping also thought deeply: "Unless someone deliberately provoked it."

"Not bad. This person is not simple." Mo Rubin commented.

"Firstly, it is not easy to break the restriction left by Brother Xuanyuan. Secondly, it is not easy to arouse the thoughts of the remains of a true immortal. Thirdly, after stimulating the will to survive, he can still escape intact... It is amazing." Mo Rubin had no praise. He said in a complimentary tone.

"Don't underestimate these things. Even if you and I are accidentally targeted by them, we may not be able to escape death. We will only end up with the same fate as these five empty shells."

Li Ping frowned slightly. He was still somewhat confident in his own strength.

Mo Rubin did not argue with Li Ping, but continued to explain quietly: "People who were originally dead have their desire to survive rekindled. It's like grabbing the last life-saving straw, and the power suddenly bursts out... …”

"Instinctively devours all life around him and turns it into the material for his own resurrection. Only those with the strength of Brother Xuanyuan can barely resist it. Although you and I look strong, we are still far behind."

Li Ping was silent.

Mo Rubin continued: "Fortunately, the person who provoked him did not destroy Brother Xuanyuan's arrangement. After this [meaning of survival] sucked these four immortals dry, it could no longer find anyone to absorb. Only then did it return Into a dead silence.”

"If it escapes from the Sea of ​​Darkness..."

"I'm afraid the entire Xuanhuang Realm will become its meal."

Li Ping suddenly became extremely solemn.

"But then again, Brother Xuanyuan's method is not so easy to crack. The person who induced this is what you call the transmission method. He did not directly destroy the restriction of the Sea of ​​Darkness. Even There are no changes, and I have added my own methods.”

"But... I have mastered the array-control magic weapon, and I know the restrictions here very well, and I can make progress smoothly." Mo Rubin seemed to have thought of something, and the aura he gathered suddenly became unstable.

"Let's work first." Just when Li Ping was worried that Mo Rubin would become crazy and out of control, Mo Rubin calmed down in an instant.

Pass a large amount of information into Li Ping's mind.

"This is...the Spirit Gathering and Immortality Formation?" Li Ping saw the mystery at a glance.

"Strictly speaking, it is the Soul Gathering and Immortal Ascension Formation that has been modified by Brother Xuanyuan. The original version of the Immortal Ascension Formation was created by a demon cultivator. Hey, this one is a real peerless evil demon. He was born He is humble, and his own cultivation qualifications are not enough. He has already reached the limit when he reaches the golden elixir. However, he just created this fierce formation. As long as the formation is covered, everything in it will be refined into the purest energy."

"He started from the small world of mortals, from weak to strong, and wiped out countless creatures in the world before finally ascending to the fairy world. After he came to the fairy world, the first thing he did was to improve the battle method, and thought about In the fairy world, he repeats his old tricks. Huh, even such a character is like a fly in the disaster of the fairy world, dying at the last moment. The treasures accumulated throughout his life have all come to the advantage of Brother Xuanyuan. However, Brother Xuanyuan despises his inheritance. Very..." Mo Rubin said with a sneer.

"How can he become an immortal despite being so furious and cruel? Are the immortal tribulations in his world different from those in the Xuanhuang world?" Li Ping asked with a frown.

Because in Li Ping's memory, in the Xuanhuang Realm, the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation that a murderer like this had to face when overcoming the tribulation was dozens of times more than usual. There is no possibility of successfully overcoming the tribulation. Hence the question.

"No matter how powerful the Heavenly Tribulation is, there is a limit in the lower realm. Just be stronger than it. What's more, there is no final conclusion about good and evil..."

Li Ping could clearly feel that Mo Rubin fell into a state of confusion again as he spoke.

"What do you need me to do?" Li Ping diverted Mo Rubin's attention at the right time.

"Your formation skills should not be much weaker than that of Brother Xuanyuan. The control center of the Soul Gathering and Immortal Ascension Formation here cannot be moved rashly. If possible, strengthen another layer of formations and press this place towards the interior of the Sea of ​​Darkness. Pressure. Then, cut off the connection between the formation-controlling magic weapon in the hands of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the formation." Mo Rubin said after coming back to his senses.

Li Ping nodded, observing the details of the formations around him, and comparing them with the Ascension Formation diagrams that came to his mind.

"As expected of King Xuantian, he can be called the most talented person in the Xuanhuang Realm for thousands of years."

As both formation masters, Li Ping couldn't help but feel a sympathy for each other after feeling the wonderfulness of the formation here.

The essence of the source power from the prayers of the You tribe was condensed in the depths of the formation after being absorbed and transformed by the Sea of ​​Darkness, the remains of the True Immortal.

It seemed to be just irregular accumulation, but Li Ping could vaguely see that through some means, these powers that could compete with the true immortals could be exploded in an instant.

Promote the Xuanhuang Realm and escape from the control of the True Immortal of Immortal Ruins.

"It's amazing to harness the power of a true immortal with an ordinary formation."

Li Ping did not find the shadow of the original formation of the Xuanhuang Realm inside the formation of the Sea of ​​Darkness. The formation here should have been created by King Xuantian alone. Even the fallen true immortal is enough to illustrate Xuanyuan Hong's transcendent formation attainments.

"To strengthen the formation, we need some materials to assist..." Li Ping said thoughtfully after observing for a while.

"I have it here." Mo Rubin said immediately.

It seemed that he had been prepared for it. When the two of them returned to the formation center from the hiding place of "The Will to Survive", he took out a pile of materials.

Li Ping clicked lightly, and found out that they were all needed to strengthen the formation.

"Don't look at me like that, you borrowed that face from me."

"As the Dharma King of Xuantian Sect, even if I run for my life in a hurry, it is normal for me to carry supplies with me that can make a comeback, right?"

"Speaking of which, why are you also faceless? Could it be that you have something to do with the true immortal who saved Brother Xuanyuan? I'm a coward, so don't scare me..."

Li Ping ignored Mo Rubin's crazy words and began to concentrate on setting up the formation.

With King Xuantian's mistakes as a reference, Li Ping only needs to follow the example. It's not difficult for him.

As the formation slowly took shape, the "observation tower" they were on seemed to be getting higher and higher.

Mo Rubin nodded with great satisfaction, and after Li Ping finished, he took out a pile of materials.

"Deepen it a little deeper. Completely suppress the true immortal [meaning of survival] in the depths of the dark sea."

Li Ping also agreed with this. No complaints, just keep working.

After all the materials were consumed, the scene of the Dark Sea in the field of vision was only half the size of what it was originally seen.

"In this case, it should be safe enough. If no one disturbs you maliciously." Mo Rubin stood beside Li Ping, looking at the sea of ​​darkness below, and said softly.

"It's a matter of Xuanhuang's safety, so it's better to be cautious. I want to set up another protective formation here." This was not a request for Mo Rubin's opinion, but a notice that a decision had been made.

Mo Rubin shrugged: "It's up to you. After so many years, no one else has come to this ghost place except us. Who are you guarding against when you set up your formation? What if the will to survive really breaks out of the cage? , your formation is simply not enough."

Li Ping ignored Mo Rubin's sarcasm, and added the strongest blockade formation he could deploy here very seriously.

"Okay, the next step is to cut off the hand extended by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance." Mo Rubin urged after Li Ping finished.

"The power of darkness that has been extracted now is limited. If the sea of ​​darkness shrinks to a certain extent, maybe [The Will of Survival] will be able to sense the vibrant Xuanhuang Realm outside. The scene at that time is really unimaginable."

When Li Ping was reinforcing the formation here, he noticed that there were two intermittent thin lines extending out from the center of the formation.

Don't know where it leads.

"Both of the two array-control magic weapons are cut off from the central center?" Li Ping looked at Mo Rubin.

"The other one is probably dead. Just cut it off." Mo Rubin was silent for a while and nodded.

Li Ping immediately transformed the battle center.

It went very smoothly. The Spirit Gathering and Immortal Ascension Formation let out a soft groan and then seemed to restart.

It got a little darker at first, and then became brighter again.

Li Ping stood at the center of the formation, sensing the opening in the Sea of ​​Darkness that had been cut by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

boom! boom!

The clouds rolled and rolled up waves of invisible waves. Sweeping up the "clouds" floating in the sea of ​​darkness, they are getting bigger and bigger. By the time it reached the open sore, it had turned into a huge wave.

It suddenly hit the device of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Dozens of diligent Immortal Alliance monks who were supervising the extraction of the power of darkness were swallowed up quietly.

Evaporated.

And in the violent shock, the crack was also closing.

Faced with drastic changes, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance did not want to give up. In the crack that was about to close, the eye control array weapon appeared again.

The golden abacus fluctuated rapidly, trying to turn the tide.

However, this time, it never had any effect. I can only watch the rift in the Dark Sea heal.

The dust has settled.

Li Ping and Mo Rubin both looked at this scene and looked at each other speechlessly.

Although it took a lot of setbacks, the goal of cutting off the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and extracting the power of darkness was finally achieved. And he also knew many secrets of the Xuantian Sect from ancient times.

Li Ping felt peaceful in his heart, and he felt that the connection between himself and Xuanhuang Tiandao was getting closer and closer.

However, he also knew very well in his heart that being able to mobilize the power of the Soul Gathering and Immortal Formation so easily was not only due to his outstanding achievements in the formation. Most of them relied on Mo Rubin's help.

Without the formation diagram he transmitted, it would not be possible to break the restrictions left by King Xuantian in one day.

What's more important is that Mo Rubin divided and attached this demonic face to his face.

It is precisely because of the existence of this face that we can travel unimpeded in the deepest part of the Dark Sea. Even when changing the key structure of the formation, there was no attack or backlash from the formation.

In a sense, Mo Rubin's face has much higher authority than the two eyes that control the array.

"Back then, among the twelve Dharma Kings of the Xuantian Sect, where did you rank in terms of strength?" Li Ping suddenly asked.

Mo Rubin was stunned.

Then he sneered and said: "To tell you the truth, among the twelve, I am the weakest. Although you can barely beat me, you can't beat the others."

Li Ping naturally didn't believe it.

Mo Rubin snorted coldly: "In our era, talented people emerged in large numbers. There are countless geniuses like the crucian carp crossing the river. They are the undisputed great age of cultivating immortals!"

"If the path to immortality hadn't been cut off suddenly, it wouldn't have been impossible for a large number of ascendants to appear densely in a short period of time."

Li Ping was silent.

In the records on the Creation Tablet, since all the relevant information about the person who ascended to immortality was erased, he had no way to judge the truth or falsehood of Mo Rubin's words.

However, judging from the various performances of the Twelve Dharma Kings before joining Xuantian Sect, Mo Rubin's words may be exaggerated, but they are consistent with certain facts.

"You are all so strong. How did the Ten Immortal Sects win in the first place?"

"Even without King Xuantian, if the twelve of you join forces, it will be difficult for the ten Immortal Sects to defeat you, right?" Li Ping asked this question that had been pressing in his heart for a long time.

"Hmph." Mo Rubin snorted coldly.

After being silent for a long time, he said vaguely: "In short, if you lose, you lose, and I won't deny it. The people of the Ten Immortal Sects are not the ones who eat clean food."

"and……"

Mo Rubin's tone suddenly became extremely cold.

"Someone was really pretending to be a real person, and suddenly jumped into the trap. We didn't know who the culprit was, and none of us dared to trust him. In addition, Brother Xuanyuan disappeared inexplicably..."

"Every one of them claimed that their talents were not inferior to Xuanyuan Hong's, but they were just unlucky and failed to ascend at the right time. When the real thing came to pass, they realized that without Brother Xuanyuan in the lead, they were just a bunch of rabble."

"On the other hand, the Ten Immortal Sects are really trying their best because they know that if things don't work out, death will be waiting for them."

"..."

Mo Rubin suddenly laughed: "But I am relieved now. As the saying goes, the way of heaven is easy to recover, won't the ten sects of the immortal way be destroyed by this Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals? Hahahaha! What a death!"

"Well done, Xuanhuangjie!"

Mo Rubin patted Li Ping on the shoulder and praised him.

"Actually, the core figures of the Ten Immortal Sects are probably still alive and well." Li Ping said suddenly.

"It's just that you can't hide from the world and don't appear in the world."

Mo Rubin grabbed Li Ping's shoulder hand and exerted force.

"Huh, huh..." After suddenly learning the news, Mo Rubin not only didn't get angry, but gradually started laughing wildly.

"So he's not dead? It's better not to be dead."

"In this way, I can take revenge with my own hands. After so many years, they probably won't be as united as they were back then."

Mo Rubin ducked away from Li Ping, and his figure suddenly became much darker.

"time to go."

"Originally I was going to find Brother Xuanyuan, but by some mistake, I didn't expect to come here first. But it's good, I have eliminated a wrong answer first."

Li Ping felt that the demon face on his blank face was about to break away.

The surrounding darkness invaded uncontrollably.

A whisper came from the depths of his soul, corroding Li Ping's consciousness.

Knowing that this was not a place where he could stay for a long time, Li Ping followed Mo Rubin and returned from the deepest part of the Sea of ​​Darkness.

"Speaking of which, where was your original destination? You actually needed to use the Immortal Tool Flag?" Li Ping asked.

Mo Rubin responded with silence.

When passing by the void body of Fang Dingge, the head of the Dao Dao Sect, he suddenly said to Li Ping: "Go and search him, maybe you can pick up some treasures."

Li Ping looked at Mo Rubin.

Mo Rubin rolled his eyes at Li Ping: "This person can withstand the desire to survive and escape all the way here before dying, which is enough to show his strength. There must be something good in a master. This is what Brother Xuanyuan taught me."

"Moreover, if he really has any relics on his body that can be preserved under the erosion of the true immortal's desire to survive, it must be an incredible treasure. Don't you really want to give it a try?" Mo Rubin said bewilderedly.

Li Ping looked at it again, and finally shook his head slightly.

"The deceased is gone, let him rest here. There are so many treasures in the world, is it possible to search for them all? If greed is not enough, his mind will be ignorant, and he will suffer disaster."

"You are stupid, but you are still really stupid." Mo Rubin sneered.

However, he did not search for Fang Dingge's body, but just let him lie there quietly.

After a long journey, the two returned to where they came from.

The white jade flagpole is still in place.

It's just that the area enveloped by the power of darkness and radiating light is smaller than before.

"It is indeed a second-hand product that has been reforged. It is really a waste." Mo Rubin criticized unceremoniously.

"If you make such trouble, I will have to find other arrangements left behind. I don't know if they are still there after all these years. If not, I will still come to trouble you!" Mo Rubin looked at Li Ping, He said coldly.

Li Ping summoned the You clan members and reopened the door to the outside world.

"I can help you find King Xuantian together."

"I need his help." Li Ping said sincerely.

Mo Rubin took the lead and flew into the passage, laughing loudly: "You don't think that if you take a trip to the Sea of ​​Darkness with me, I will completely believe you, do you?"

"Of the other eleven brothers and sisters back then, which one didn't live and die together?"

"The facts tell me that no one can be trusted!"

Mo Rubin's extremely cold voice slowly became softer.

When Li Ping returned to Jiushan Prefecture, there was no trace of Mo Rubin.

However, the Holy Emperor did not pursue it again.

This Dharma King of Xuantian Sect is not his enemy.
