My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1110: Death and Life Reveal Heavenly Sovereign

Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
Li Fan encounters visions from the Du'e Sect paper figures depicting a long-forgotten calamity that struck the Xuanhuang Realm, causing bizarre deaths among cultivators due to an alien star's influence. Pretending to be swayed by the indoctrination, he circulates the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra to resist while subtly gaining partial authority over the sect's scattered paper figures for surveillance. Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance mobilizes ten Dao Integration cultivators and three Dharma-Transmitters to seize the True Immortal remnant corpse, which, infused with darkness power from the dissolving black puppet, flees into the Essence Devouring White Mist, drawing its pursuers deeper into the unknown.

All the bodies lay encased in translucent pale blue ice crystals. Peering through those crystals, the dying looks on the faces of these corpses from their final moments could be faintly discerned. Rage, terror, confusion... They appeared so real, almost as though the dead still breathed.

Vast arrays of these icy coffins crowded every sightline, covering the entire dark sea below.

Forget the handful of Dao Integration cultivators; the trio of leading Dharma-Transmitters also shivered with dread and stood mute in terror at the sight unfolding before them. Stunned by this horrifying display, when they finally snapped back to reality, the True Immortal's remnants that had drawn them to this spot had already disappeared completely!

"This... what kind of eerie hellhole is this place?!"

Following a heavy quiet, the Dao Integration cultivator called Zhu Gongchuan in their midst couldn't hold back from voicing his thoughts. Afraid of waking the resting cultivators in this area, he kept his tone whisper-low. Still, the deep-seated dread in his voice was hard to miss.

Dead folks weren't new to them. Yet seeing countless remains collected together like this, each holding onto those intense expressions from their last breaths... The impact of such a vision went way beyond any description.

Zhu Gongchuan's query went unanswered. The team glided quietly across the Sea of Death, and even after flying for a solid half day, no edge came into view.

"Roughly speaking, the corpses number over two billion... Fear that even the total cultivators and mortals alive now in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's Outer Prefectures falls short of that. Just who..."

"None of these folks hail from the Xuanhuang Realm. Or better put, almost all of them don't come from the Xuanhuang Realm," Dharma-Transmitter Wei stated deliberately then. "Based on their attire, they originate from various cultivation realms. But somehow, they've ended up frozen in ice right here."

"Countless bodies stashed away in the heart of our Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's lands. And all this time, we've had zero idea." Dharma-Transmitter Chu's face twisted into a grim scowl as well.

"Why would that True Immortal's remains guide us to this spot? Is its aim to freeze us in the same way?"

"Unlikely. We've lingered inside here for ages without facing any assault."

The team whispered their speculations, but the True Immortal remnant's true intentions stayed a total mystery.

"We'll scout a little further."

Thus, they continued soaring above the Sea of Death for quite some time more. At last, Dharma-Transmitter Wei spotted a hint: "It looks like these endless frozen remains arrange into a gigantic formation."

"A formation?" Everyone traded looks at those words, then examined their surroundings closely again.

"A setup this massive would hold power to shatter worlds. Might this be some hidden scheme from the Five Elders Association meant to wipe out our Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance all these years?"

Not all in the group knew formations well, and after racking their brains to no avail, wild guesses started filling their heads.

"The array's intricacy is beyond simple grasp; catching just a glimpse without the whole view means we can't guess its real aim. Top priority should be alerting the Alliance headquarters about this find. The more time we spend here, the worse this unease gnaws at me," Dharma-Transmitter Chu declared solemnly.

"At least this array doesn't target us intruders. It's no trapping or killing setup; locating the formation's eye ought to let us escape," Dharma-Transmitter Wei assessed too.

With both Dharma-Transmitters offering their views, the others at last eased a hidden breath of relief inwardly.

They wandered the formation for days on end, until they pinpointed its heart. Crossing through that center, they expected to emerge back into the white mist, yet wound up hovering over an unknown sea. Far from the lifeless, iced black waters before, a briny, moist wind here brought a subtle thrill, while seabird cries rang out without cease.

Occasionally, fish groups would burst from the waves or flash beneath the surface. Bursting with vitality, the vista invigorated and lifted spirits.

After a short stun, the group swept their eyes around and detected no pressing threats. The Dao Integration cultivators thus loosened up a touch. But the three foremost Dharma-Transmitters turned more somber than ever.

Dharma-Transmitter Wei creased his forehead, staring far off at the horizon, muttering: "Opposing realms, flipsides of one reality."

"One thrives with life, the other reeks of death."

Dharma-Transmitter Chu cut in: "Wrong—death births life, life collects death. This represents..."

They shared a look, horror etching their features. "Reversing life and death?" The phrase stayed unspoken aloud, swapped instead through secret transmission.

"Ah, so that's the case. Does this make the spot the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign's lair?"

"No surprise His feat of flipping heaven and earth's laws to claim Heavenly Sovereign rank happened so swiftly. He'd concealed himself long ago in this white mist, building on the formation to master life and death principles flawlessly!"

"So what's the link between that True Immortal's remains and the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign?"

Solving one puzzle sparked fresh riddles in their thoughts.

"Things look like they're no friends from what we see."

"They knew of this lair ages back, so maybe they're dragging us in to test the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign's secrets?"

The pair sank into contemplation. Long minutes of thought brought no solid answer.

"Spotting the formation's heart in this lively realm should get us out." Lacking breakthroughs from their talks, and a full scan revealing zilch on the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign's real nature, the three Dharma-Transmitters chose to pull back now and scheme later.

Yet right as they geared up to depart, Dharma-Transmitter Wei halted briefly, like a sudden insight hit him.

"Flipping life and death, flipping life and death... The huge array stands finished, but the fallen cultivators remain asleep. What's actually come alive is the [world]?"

"If true, the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign's actual goal must be..."

Dharma-Transmitter Wei went ashen, thunderstruck.

"Move!" he ordered sharply.

But it was as if his mind had been read. A shape made of white mist materialized without sound, barring their way. Against this abrupt foe, possibly the very Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign they'd sought, the group braced at peak alert. Conflict loomed.

Dharma-Transmitter Wei fixed his gaze on the form briefly. Moments passed, then disbelief sparked in his eyes.

"It's..."

His words cut off as the misty figure suddenly snapped open its eyes. Boundless white fog erupted from it, swallowing heaven and earth. In a flash, it swallowed the whole Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance team.

Ten Dao Integration cultivators and three Dharma-Transmitters. That mighty lineup stood helpless and got lost in the white mist instantly.
