My Simulated Road to Immortality

After obtaining Li Fan’s consent, Tianyang’s body transformed in an instant.

Faint Qing light enveloped him, turning his skin into a metal-like texture.

In a voice that was half mechanical and half childlike, Tianyang slowly said, "A flesh and blood body naturally comes with its disadvantages. How can it compare to a body of metal and stone?"

"Like me, all the rare and exotic materials of the world can be turned into nourishment to strengthen the body."

"The theoretical upper limit of strength according to the laws of the Tao, that is the limit of my body!"

As Tianyang spoke, he slightly clenched his fist, as if an infinite suction force was emanating from the center of his palm.

At the depths of the Spirit Transforming River Water, a massive vortex formed in an instant. The tremendous power it brought forth made it nearly impossible for Li Fan, Huang, and the other two Dharma Transmitters to stabilize their forms in the turbulent flow.

After gathering his strength, Tianyang slowly threw a punch towards Huang.

All three Dharma Transmitters’ complexions changed.

But Huang was locked in by the momentum of the punch, unable to move a muscle.

Watching Tianyang’s slow punch about to hit him squarely in the face,

In a critical moment of life and death, a burst of Golden Light suddenly erupted from both of Huang’s heads and all four eyes. The sound of bones shattering like a downpour rang out, and his originally withered body inflated like a balloon in the blink of an eye.

His body was now covered in sharp, chiseled muscles like knife engravings, and with a roar, Huang protected his front with all four hands, attempting to catch Tianyang’s seemingly insignificant fist.

A muffled sound, like thunder, emerged.

Their fists met head-on, and they were stuck in a standoff.

A moment later, Tianyang slowly withdrew his fist, "This time, I used only fifty percent of my strength. But this is far from my limit."

"However, it should be your limit."

With that, Huang’s body collapsed like a lump of clay.

After the brief shock, Dharma Transmitter Zhou and Wei both realized that Huang was not in life-threatening danger.

It was merely due to excessive consumption.

Defeated, Huang did not rage or resent. Instead, he began to ponder the words of Tianyang.

"To replace flesh and blood with a body of metal and stone?"

In fact, he had considered this path before.

However, being a human cultivator, he had reservations about abandoning flesh and blood to become a Mechanism Puppet-like being.

The most crucial point was the lack of precedents to follow.

Once the transformation was complete, there would be no turning back. If in the end the power of the body of metal and stone was not as good as that of flesh and blood, wouldn’t he become the laughingstock of all the Dharma Transmitters?

But the emergence of Tianyang today had shown him a new path, one that seemed to have boundless potential.

"Perhaps, it might be possible to break free from the constraints of the Heavenly Sovereign and become the only Dharma Transmitter with the power of longevity," a dangerous thought sprang from the depth of Huang’s heart. Once it emerged, it began to erode his mind uncontrollably.

Li Fan, observing the subtle changes in Huang’s expressions from a distance, knew the seed had been planted. He couldn’t help but smile to himself.

Without the Essence of Source Power, trying to achieve the strength Tianyang possessed solely through transforming into a body of metal and stone was simply impossible. Once Huang started the irreversible attempt and repeatedly hit a wall, despairing,

he would surely seek Tianyang’s help at all costs. In a position of needing help, Li Fan would have a myriad of ways to control the man.

With that single punch, Tianyang quietly absorbed a significant amount of Spirit Transforming River Water.

Seeing his goal achieved, Li Fan let Tianyang revert to his original state and return to his side.

The two Dharma Transmitters also hurriedly came forward to heal Huang.

"This place is not suitable for a prolonged stay. Let’s head back first."

A group of people then quietly flew out from the Spirit Transforming Stream.

The recent battle had caused disturbances in the waters of the Spirit Transforming River, which inevitably drew the attention of the cultivators guarding the stream.

However, after investigating for a while, they couldn’t find the cause.

Following the Immortal Alliance’s principle of not making trouble for themselves unnecessarily, they chose not to report the incident.

In Dharma Transmitter Zhou’s private Small World.

Tianyang’s actions this time crushed Dharma Transmitter Huang. Without a doubt, he confirmed the strength of his Immortal Realm status.

So everyone began to formally discuss the next step of their plan.

It was still the top floor of a skyscraper bathed in a neon light sea.

Huang’s injuries had already healed on the way back, one head with eyes tightly closed, while the other was sneakily observing Tianyang behind Li Fan.

Tianyang also pretended to be napping with his eyes closed.

The discussion continued with just Li Fan, Zhou, and Wei.

"With Huang joining us, the likelihood of convincing Jiang to convene [The Oath of the Dharma Transmitter] is almost one hundred percent," they said.

"As long as we stick to the plan and lure him out, that would be good."

Li Fan took the opportunity to speak, "According to the Union Elders’ assessment, combined with the current actual situation of the Xuanhuang World, they have given us a recommended plan."

"We need to create enough momentum, yet the trouble can’t be resolved by anyone in the Immortal Alliance except Dharma Transmitter Jiang. Nor can we truly destroy the Xuanhuang World..."

Li Fan paused for a moment, revealing a mysterious smile, "Both of you, see what you make of this plan?"

With a light tap in the void with his index finger, a small gold light orb flew closer.

After examining the content of the light orb, both Dharma Transmitter Zhou and Wei showed a flicker of surprise in their eyes.

"Excellent," they said after exchanging thoughts, nodding in agreement.

"Great. In that case, our United Federation of All Realms can start making official preparations. However, to make the play convincing, we’ll need you two to cooperate accordingly."

"Don’t worry. Although we were expelled from the Dharma Transmitter Council, we have deep roots and still have some control over the various states of the Immortal Alliance. Assisting your Union in staging this world-destroying play will certainly pose no problem," Dharma Transmitter Zhou said in a deep voice.

After further careful discussion, Li Fan and Tianyang left the place.

Back in the Spirit Tree Realm, Tianyang poured out the Spirit Transforming River Water he had collected. The Craftsman and other experts began researching it to see if they could replicate and mass-produce it.

Li Fan, on the other hand, went to the World-destroying Space and took out one of the experimental items.

Although this was a play meant to attract Dharma Transmitter Jiang, Li Fan regarded this event as a rehearsal for the ultimate destruction of this world.

"Many arrangements can be made in advance through the hands of these Dharma Transmitters using this opportunity. The Dharma Transmitters are closely related to the Celestial Dharma Bearer. By the time the Faceless True Immortal and the Deserted Dao Immortal can vaguely sense someone scheming behind the scenes, they will first suspect the Law Transmission authority."

"Given Law Transmission’s current strength, even if it can’t directly confront the True Immortals, it should be able to hold out for a moment..."

Thinking thus, Li Fan activated the Soul Burning mode at full load.

He began working at maximal efficiency on the props needed for the world-destroying plan.

Gradually, the initially somewhat empty World-destroying Space began to fill up.

The three-month preparation flew by in an instant.

Under the conspiracy of Li Fan and the three Dharma Transmitters, unusual events began to subtly occur in the various states of the Immortal Alliance.
