我的模拟长生路 Completed My simulation path to immortality
仙道何其难!更何况这个被一场瘟疫彻底改变的修仙界！凡人身带疫病，仙人一旦接触，轻则修为下降，重则还道于天，于是仙凡永隔；仙法不可同修，整个修仙界成为了一个巨大的黑暗森林；……李凡穿越而来，虽有雄心万丈，却只能于凡尘中打滚，蹉跎一生。好在临终之时终于觉醒异宝，能够化真为假，将真实的人生转为黄粱一梦，重回刚穿越之时！于是，李凡开始了他的漫漫长生路！第二世，李凡历时五十载终权倾天下，但却遍寻世间而不见仙踪。只在人生的末尾得见仙人痕迹。第三世，李凡殚精竭虑、百般谋划，却终抵不过仙人一剑！第四世…………我，李凡，一介凡人，百世不悔，但求长生！
The Way of Cultivation is so arduous! Especially in this cultivation world that has been completely transformed by a pandemic! Mortals carry the plague, and when immortals come into contact with it, their cultivation may decline; worse still, they might lose their path to immortality, thus forever separating mortals from immortals; Immortal arts cannot be practiced together, making the entire cultivation world a vast dark forest; … Li Fan transmigrated here, though he had boundless ambition, he could only roll in the mundane world, wasting his life. Fortunately, at the moment of death, he finally awakened to an extraordinary treasure that can turn truth into illusion, allowing him to transform his real life into a dream and return to when he first transmigrated! Thus, Li Fan began his long journey toward immortality! In his second life, Li Fan spent fifty years in power but failed to find the trace of an immortal in this world. He only saw signs of immortals at the end of his life. In his third life, Li Fan exhausted all his efforts and schemes but still fell short against a single sword stroke from an immortal! In his fourth life … I, Li Fan, a mere mortal, regret nothing over these hundred lives; all I seek is immortality!

第八十九章 偷天换日宗
Chapter 89: Heaven Stealing and Sun Replacing Sect
Synopsis
Li Fan, a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, quietly stood beneath crimson clouds, having killed two other Qi Refining cultivators in the Cunyun Sea. He held the Steal Day Change Order, a precious artifact from an ancient sect known for its unique techniques and single-disciple system. This order allowed the transfer of life essence between the main body and avatar, enabling resurrection after death. However, it had flaws, such as distance limitations and residual spirits trapped within. Li Fan's spiritual sense entered the order, discovering Si Kong Yi and another spirit soul wandering inside. By reading their memories, he learned how Si Kong Bo, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, stole essence blood from a child with extraordinary fate in a remote village. The child was actually an Incarnation Realm cultivator seeking a new body. This incident revealed the dark underbelly of the Steal Day Change Sect and highlighted the dangerous nature of their techniques.
