Chapter 364: Pushing Waves and Assisting Ripples

My Longevity Simulation

  “What? Do you want to return to the base and continue the construction of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array?”

“You’re crazy?”

Seeing the aged Li Fan suddenly appear before him, Hao Hui was startled.

And when he heard Li Fan’s request, Hao Hui’s face first showed disbelief, thinking he had misheard.

After confirming repeatedly, he laughed incredulously and firmly refused.

“Friend Li, you’ve done enough already.”

“Leave the rest to other array masters.”

“Your current situation is not suitable for continuing the construction of the array.”

After hesitating for a moment, Hao Hui still suggested, “Friend, you’ve been trapped in the Age Devouring White Mist for too long, your lifespan is running out.”

“See if you can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm before your lifespan ends.”

“With your talent, I don’t think there’s no chance to defy fate.”

Although Hao Hui’s words were very much to Li Fan’s liking, he still shook his head against his will and said, “Friend’s goodwill, I understand. However, one should know their own limitations. With my remaining lifespan, it’s absolutely impossible for me to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm!”

“Rather than wasting time on such meaningless things, it’s better to contribute my last bit of strength to the construction of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array while I can still move.”

“If, in my lifetime, I can witness the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array enveloping the entire territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”

“Even if I die, I will have no regrets!”

Li Fan’s expression was solemn, his words righteous.

“If the rest of my life can only be spent aimlessly, waiting for death in confusion, I won’t be able to close my eyes even in death.”

“I hope my friend can fulfill this!”

Looking at Li Fan, who was serious beyond measure, Hao Hui was speechless.

Instinctively wanting to refuse, but seeing the extremely sincere gaze of the other party, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

“…Alright, friend, wait for me for a moment. I’ll go ask for instructions.”

Seeming afraid to face Li Fan again, Hao Hui hurriedly left.

Li Fan remained calm, patiently waiting.

After a while, Hao Hui returned with a complicated expression.

“Friend Li, your request has been approved. After this demonic sound tide subsides, our Azure Mystery Army will send someone to escort you back to the front lines.”

“In that case, thank you, Brother Hao.” Li Fan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, nodding in thanks.

“Friend Li Fan…” Seeing the relieved look on Li Fan’s snowy hair, Hao Hui couldn’t help but ask.

“What exactly is the reason?”

Li Fan’s actions had already exceeded Hao Hui’s comprehension.

He asked full of puzzlement.

Li Fan smiled without answering, bowed slightly, and walked away.

Leaving behind Hao Hui, bewildered and confused, standing still, silent for a long time.

As expected, the news that Li Fan, who was almost half dead, was about to return to the front line to construct arrays spread throughout the Broken Palm Immortal City in an instant.

Amidst the clamor, inevitable voices of doubt also arose.

However, half a month later, when Li Fan, under the escort of dozens of Azure Mystery Army soldiers, left the Eternal Immortal Stronghold once again and flew towards the Jaixu Outpost.

All doubts were dispelled without attack.

The cultivators were shocked by Li Fan’s choice, and at the same time, felt ashamed of their previous dirty thoughts.

Compared to the sacrifices Li Fan made, their own decades of service in guarding the Abyss seemed trivial.

As a result, an unprecedented wave emerged within the Azure Mystery Army.

No longer casually boasting about hardships, but beginning to compare the length of service in guarding the Abyss.

All of this, Li Fan, who arrived at the Jaixu Outpost, was unaware of.

Thanks to Li Fan’s timely request for assistance, before the supplies at the base were exhausted, reinforcements from the Eternal Immortal Stronghold successfully arrived.

Preventing a tragedy from happening.

Although letting Li Fan venture alone into the white mist resulted in some punishment for the surviving cultivators.

But compared to preserving their lives, all of this was nothing.

Moreover, at Li Fan’s plea.

He Chen, Kong Yu, and other cultivators eventually returned to the Jaixu Outpost, redeemed themselves, and assisted Li Fan in constructing arrays.

To ensure Li Fan’s safety, the number of escort troops from the Eternal Immortal Stronghold was tripled.

The amount of reserve supplies brought was beyond imagination, allowing for extravagant use without worrying about insufficient supplies.

And Li Fan didn’t rest for a moment.

When the long-raging demonic sound tide finally subsided, he directly continued the construction of the Soul Locking Array.

He Chen and the others had all received his life-saving grace.

The members of the Azure Mystery Army, even more so, were appointed and obeyed Li Fan’s words without hesitation.

In this small Jaixu Outpost, Li Fan also gained absolute authority.

With everything at his disposal, all orders would be completed with one hundred and twenty percent efficiency.

Coupled with Li Fan reversing his own will, from being idle to becoming a workaholic who forgot to rest.

The speed of array construction increased by nearly double compared to before.

Due to the impact of the previous demonic sound tide, array construction was forcibly halted.

Li Fan’s ranking on the Great Ranking Board had already dropped to the bottom, hovering around six hundred or so.

But as everyone began to rebuild, his ranking steadily rose, catching up with determination.

The rapid rise in Li Fan’s ranking didn’t attract much attention.

The most eye-catching figure on the entire list was still Guo Yezhong, with zero points.

This person seemed to completely disregard the so-called Great Ranking.

Cultivators discussed it one after another, but the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance didn’t take any special measures.

It was only rumored that Guo Yezhong was still within the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, not having defected.

And he hadn’t given up the fight. When asked by others, he simply responded, “Who wins and who loses is still unknown.”

As Li Fan threw himself wholeheartedly into the construction of arrays, feeling the torment in his heart.

The anecdotes about him began to spread rapidly outside the Broken Palm Immortal City under the indication of interested parties.

Especially his touching deeds of continuing to construct the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array despite undergoing tremendous changes and his lifespan running out.

They were glorified.

Soon, almost every cultivator outside seclusion in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance knew about Li Fan’s actions.

Whether to believe it or not was another matter.

Li Fan’s communication talisman was the first to explode.

He Zhenghao, the Oracle Child, and acquaintances from the former Universal Pavilion all sent messages inquiring. (TL Note: Oracle child, who? If anyone knows comment)

There were too many, so Li Fan had to set up an automatic reply, briefly explaining the situation.

Naturally, his friends lamented and admired Li Fan extremely.

A few even promised to find longevity treasures for Li Fan.

Li Fan thanked each one.

Then he continued to throw himself tirelessly into the construction of arrays.

In this way, two years passed.

One day, a colorful light tore through the white mist and headed straight for the Broken Palm Immortal City.
