Chapter 1020: Realms Beyond Xuanhuang
My Longevity Simulation
One by one, heavenly materials and earthly treasures formed the puppet's skeleton. Golden source power surged like tidal waves, creating "flesh and tissue" and attaching it to the skeleton.
The Heavenly Mechanism Puppet slowly took shape.
During the surge of golden source power, Li Fan faintly heard intermittent murmurs as well.
"What is that sound?" Master Qiaogong appeared completely at ease, so Li Fan felt no qualms about interrupting and asked directly.
"Not sure. But it's a phenomenon that inevitably occurs when using source power; no need to worry. We cultivators of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm call it the [World's Whisper]. You get used to it after seeing it often."
As he answered Li Fan, he stared intently at the Heavenly Mechanism Puppet, precisely manipulating the source force.
Limbs, torso, head, then skin, hair...
All gradually manifested.
Liu Ruchen, the sect master of the Medicine King Sect, watched the scene before him with a face full of shock.
Such a method of refining a puppet completely exceeded his imagination.
The instant the Heavenly Mechanism Puppet, identical in appearance to Liu Ruchen, was created, an inexplicable urge welled up in Liu Ruchen's heart: an eagerness to possess it.
"Fellow Daoist, please proceed." The Master Qiaogong said lazily.
He glanced at Li Fan and saw him nod. Only then did Liu Ruchen cautiously approach and enter.
A burst of dim light erupted from the Heavenly Mechanism Puppet. Moments later, it opened its eyes.
Liu Ruchen, reborn in his new body, clenched and unclenched his palm, his expression one of awe: "Incredible... it feels exactly like my original body."
"There is even a dantian and a sea of consciousness! How on earth is this achieved?"
The Master Qiaogong ignored Liu Ruchen entirely: "All done? If there's nothing else, I'll head back. Fellow Daoist Tianyang is still waiting for me!" He asked impatiently.
Li Fan smiled and let him go.
"Sect Master Liu, what do you think of our Federation of All Worlds's methods?" Watching Liu Ruchen still acclimating to his new body, Li Fan asked.
"Divine skill, truly divine." Liu Ruchen said sincerely, convinced.
His expression shifted slightly: "Federation of All... could it be that the Fellow Daoist Qiaogong is not a native cultivator of the Xuanhuang Realm?"
Li Fan nodded: "Sect Master Liu is indeed perceptive. Fellow Daoist Qiaogong hails from the [Heavenly Mechanism Realm]."
Liu Ruchen exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this: "Heavenly Mechanism Realm? That cultivation realm rumored to be built upon a massive puppet, drifting unpredictably through the starry skies?"
"Now it all makes sense."
After some questioning from Li Fan, he learned that the Medicine King Sect's ancestor, "Medicine King Sun Piaomiao," had once traveled the realms and recorded his observations of various worlds.
Among them were records of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm.
"But later, with the immortal path severed, contact between the various cultivation realms essentially ceased. So the records of each realm remain from the distant past."
"When I decided to lead the entire sect in fleeing the Xuanhuang Realm, our destination was the nearest [Unfettered Free Realm]. The cultivators there revere the path of non-action and freedom, dislike conflict, and are very welcoming to outsiders. It would have been a good place. Unfortunately..."
Liu Ruchen's face dimmed somewhat.
In the midst of speaking, he astutely transmitted the travelogue of Medicine King Sun Piaomiao directly to Li Fan via divine sense.
A simple star map instantly appeared in Li Fan's mind.
It marked the anchor points for a total of eighteen cultivation realms surrounding the Xuanhuang Realm.
They seemed randomly arranged, with no discernible special pattern.
In addition to the eighteen fixed ones, there were two cultivation realms without specific anchor point locations.
One of them is the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, while the other is named [Xuanshang].
According to the travelogue's records, Xuanshang is less a world and more a massive flying boat.
Xuanshang travels between various cultivation realms, exchanging resources and seeking profits.
...
"Ancestor Piaomiao, able to wander and travel through the myriad realms, truly enviable." After scanning the travelogue's contents several times, Li Fan sighed and said.
The era is far too ancient, with the Star Sea having undergone massive changes. Everything recorded in the travelogue has likely all turned to nothingness.
Or perhaps, it has been swallowed by the Xuanhuang Realm.
"Xuanshang..."
"The style of the cultivators in that realm seems somewhat similar to Jiao Xiuyuan's. If there's a chance in the future, it could be verified."
Liu Ruchen, unaware of Li Fan's thoughts, continued: "It's said that the Ancestor had planned to travel even farther back then, but for some unknown reason, ultimately changed his mind. It seems it was due to something special about the starry sky we are in. However, the Ancestor did not inform later generations of the specific reason."
Li Fan's expression shifted slightly: "Something special?"
In the era when Sun Piaomiao lived, the immortal path had not yet been severed. The [High Wall] naturally did not yet exist.
But the Star Sea where the Xuanhuang Realm is located was already different...
"There are no records at all of the Immortals who ascended from the Xuanhuang Realm across generations."
"Either every senior has all advanced to become [Nameless True Immortals], or some great power has erased all their information."
"Interesting..."
Li Fan fell into contemplation.
...
Next, Li Fan led Liu Ruchen on a tour of the splendid sights in the Spiritwood Realm.
Whether the mountains and rivers taken from the Xuanhuang Realm, or the replicas of ancient sect ruins.
Or the central tree that reaches to the heavens, all left Liu Ruchen full of praise.
After solemnly paying respects to the Faceless True Immortal Statue at the end, Li Fan took out the Medicine King Cauldron.
"Now, with the restriction of incompatible cultivation methods, if all the disciples in the cauldron are awakened, they will surely fall into mutual slaughter. Sect Master Liu, how do you propose to handle this?"
"Our Federation of All Worlds has a technique called the [Vital Essence Technique of All Living Beings]. It can exempt them from this restriction..."
After hearing Li Fan's introduction, Liu Ruchen pondered for a moment before giving his reply.
"Since we've decided to join the Federation, we naturally must contribute."
"In terms of combat power, our Medicine King Sect may not be impressive. But when it comes to alchemy and nurturing spiritual plants, our Medicine King Sect is still quite skilled."
"However..." A hint of hesitation appeared on Liu Ruchen's face.
"After thousands of years, I don't know to what extent the art of alchemy has developed in the current Xuanhuang Realm. But if we can obtain some specific pills, and given us some time, we should be able to catch up barely."
Liu Ruchen understood very well that the best way to ensure the safety of the entire Medicine King Sect was to demonstrate their value as much as possible.
After all, after seeing the Treefolks race laboring day and night in the Spiritwood Realm, and the flesh puppets completely transformed into cultivation machines, Liu Ruchen knew that this Federation of All Worlds was no benevolent group.
And the "emissary" before him, who represented the True Immortal of Salvation and Mortal Compassion and was once a Dharma King of the Xuantian Sect.
Was absolutely not as amiable and merciful as he appeared.
"The World-Saving Longevity Scripture provides special enhancements to alchemy. So, it would be best to select some sect elders to retain their original cultivation."
