My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 473 - 445: Reestablishing the Body Transformation Dao

Chapter 473: Chapter 445: Reestablishing the Body Transformation Dao

Even after 9 years, the Tianyang Cave Mansion has yet to make its appearance.

Deeply nestled within the slumbering seabed volcano, it’s unknown to the outside world.

Li Fan, based on the [Earth Fire Reversal Array] he obtained from Tianyang’s memory, went through a lot of effort to locate the cave mansion’s position.

After activating several protective spirit symbols, Li Fan cautiously ventured into the cave mansion.

The current Tianyang is in a peculiar state of being on the brink of death but not dead.

Li Fan learned this from the Eternal Memento.

Initially when Body Transformation Dao was delivered, aside from Tianyang, all the others went to participate in the ancient wars, never to return.

As for Tianyang himself, he firmly believes that his master and fellow daoists will return.

Fearing they wouldn’t be able to find him upon their return, Tianyang stayed in the Body Transforming Taoist Mansion, refusing to leave.

Unexpectedly, several years later, outsiders invaded the mansion. Tianyang wanted to resist but failed.

However, thanks to the magic treasures left by his fellow daoists, he barely managed to survive.

Following this, Tianyang’s wandering life in the Immortal Cultivation World began at a tender age.

Through trials and tribulations, he gradually realized that his talent was not as described by his fellow daoists – unique and promising – but rather quite the opposite.

Forget about being on par with them, he probably couldn’t even measure up to an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

Even so, his master and fellow daoists still entrusted him with their last hope.

Every time he remembered them saying things like, “Tianyang, your talents are second to no one. Get back on your feet soon. Body Transformation Dao is counting on you.”

On the other hand, he couldn’t even maintain his own school’s cave mansion.

This led to Tianyang harboring deep hatred towards his own incompetence.

But the reality is unswayed by personal feelings.

Tianyang estimated that, unless he encountered any other miracles, the Golden Core stage was probably his limit.

In order not to let his master and daoists down, Tianyang decided to risk everything by abandoning his flesh body and fully transforming into a puppet, hoping to change his predestined fate.

The rest of his life was spent preparing for this cause.

Finding a suitable location for the [Earth Fire Reversal Array], collecting materials, and refining the puppet…

Once everything was ready, Tianyang resolutely completed the puppet transformation process.

He then sank into the depth of the leylines, hoping to harness the terrestrial flame power to temper and upgrade the puppet.

If nothing went wrong, within 500 years, Tianyang would undergo a metamorphosis.

Ascending to a powerful status, a being no less formidable than a God Transforming Immortal Monarch.

But alas…

The plan backfired.

Over the span of 500 years, mountains turned into oceans, and leylines shifted.

The changes in leylines reduced the effectiveness of the Earth Fire Reversal Array, and the materials Tianyang initially used to refine the puppet were only average.

This resulted in the extremely slow process of puppet upgrading.

The originally planned 500 years suddenly stretched into thousands of years.

As time dragged on, even in slumber, Tianyang’s consciousness slowly eroded away.

Most of his subjective consciousness was lost, leaving only the conviction of “Tianyang’s life, no less than others” lingering in the world.

Li Fan speculated that it was probably the [Sky Turning Palm] that turned the Misthaven Mountain Range into the Misthaven Ocean, which led to the failure of Tianyang’s plan.

“Tianyang’s life, no less unfortunate than others…” Li Fan shook his head and arrived at the plaza outside the cave mansion.

After carefully observing for a moment, Li Fan moved towards the safe path, his form elusive like a shadow.

Without triggering the defensive mechanisms, Li Fan smoothly arrived at the depths of the mansion.

There, a child-sized skeleton sat.

In actual history, because Tianyang’s innate deficiencies were never filled, his body size remained that of a child’s.

Li Fan cautiously approached with his guard up.

Suddenly, the sound of creaking came from beneath the ground.

Li Fan’s heart stirred as he quickly retreated.

Immediately after, seventeen alternating black and red puppets emerged from the ground.

Li Fan activated his Body Transformation Dao techniques and shouted, “Junior school brother, don’t you recognize me?”

The Mechanism Puppets were as if they did not hear him, showing no mercy when they attacked.

They all assaulted Li Fan simultaneously.

Fortunately, they had the characteristic of “Be weak when facing the weak, be strong when facing the strong”.

A flurry of Sword Light forced the puppets back, and Li Fan maneuvered through the gaps between them, continuously shouting Tianyang’s name.

Gradually, the Mechanism Puppets actions became somewhat hesitant.

At this moment, Li Fan took out a Projection Stone and projected Yingxiao’s epitaph in mid-air.

Soon after, the Mechanism Puppets halted their attacks.

They looked up at the words and images in the sky.

“Two…”

“Master…Brother?”

A slightly slow mechanical compound sound rang out.

Li Fan laughed: “Little junior brother, it’s been a thousand years, I hope all is well!”

“Two…Master Brother!”

Bang!

Cracks appeared on the bodies of the seventeen puppets, and then they shattered as if ceramic ware that had been crushed, scattering in fragments all over the ground.

The fragments melted and moved into a smaller Tianyang Puppet.

It flew to Li Fan’s side, tilting its head as it examined him.

Looking at the man who now seemed somewhat unfamiliar, Tianyang was a little puzzled.

Li Fan patted Tianyang’s shoulder: “Let’s go, brother will take you home!”

The Tianyang Puppet froze.

A rumbling sound echoed from the depths of the seabed, the ground kept shaking as if something was about to break out.

Li Fan chuckled: “Junior brother, don’t be so excited. There are still many villains in this new era.”

“It won’t be good if we get discovered.”

As if interpreting the hidden meaning of Li Fan’s words.

After a long while, the puppet nodded its head.

The seabed quieted down in an instant.

With the help of Li Fan, it took three days for Tianyang to dig out all his buried and scattered parts from the ground and reassemble them, quietly following Li Fan.

Li Fan cast a Secret Technique to conceal the auras of the two.

He also took with him the remainings of Tianyang which held the Eternal Memento.

They swiftly reached the Nameless Deserted Island where Li Fan resided in his previous life.

It took more than ten days for Li Fan to create a simple Cave Mansion based on the design of the Body Transformation Dao sect.

After setting up a protection and concealment array, Li Fan looked at Tianyang and instructed, “Little junior brother, wait for me here. I’ll be right back.”

Tianyang obediently nodded.

After Li Fan left, he went to his original room and sat down quietly.

In the TianXuan Mirror.

“Waking up Tianyang a few years early did have some drawbacks.”

“He hasn’t entirely successfully tempered himself, and there’s still a ways to go until full God Transformation.”

“But I can help him complete it.”

After researching and searching, a series of rare materials were purchased, and contribution points were spent like water.

Two days later, Li Fan returned to the Nameless Island with several Storage Rings brimming with resources.

“Mystic Grey Diamond, Brushing Willow Xuan Stone, Crimson Spirit Copper…”

“Little junior brother, your body can absorb these to strengthen yourself.”

“As for daily living, stay in this [Elemental Reversal Array]. It will aid in your tempering…”

Li Fan was guiding Tianyang earnestly.

Tianyang was also listening attentively.
