My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1111: Silently Setting the Prison Net
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
At that instant, every floating celestial city in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance across the Xuanhuang Realm echoed with an identical, piercing bell toll.
The Immortal Alliance's cultivators came to a sudden halt, pausing all their activities and standing frozen in shock. Following a short moment of bewilderment, they swiftly remembered the significance of this toll.
This chime signaled the utmost emergency alert from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. It would ring only in the face of an existential threat to the entire organization.
A momentary hush fell over the alliance before pandemonium broke loose everywhere. Folks scrambled in fear, utterly bewildered and lost.
In the Spiritwood Realm, Li Fan caught the sound of those bells right as they began. Initially, he suspected his schemes to shatter the world had been uncovered.
But soon enough, he understood that the abrupt alarm probably tied to the happenings within the Life and Death Grand Formation. The footage captured by the formation from a True Immortal’s remnant body, once displayed to him, verified his hunch.
The footage came to an end precisely when the Dharma-Transmitters Immortals and their companions vanished into the white mist. Right afterward, the recording array got obliterated by the overwhelming, boundless white haze.
Li Fan viewed the footage over and over, a hint of gravity passing through his gaze.
“The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s response is so intense. Could it be…”
“Those three Dharma-Transmitter have perished?”A wave of uncertainty and worry stirred in his mind. He was aware that every Dharma-Transmitter enjoyed the safeguarding of the Immortal Ancestor.
With that shielding in place, they could be deemed immortal and unbreakable in the Xuanhuang Realm. Though this safeguard barred them from reaching the Longevity Immortal Realm, they were essentially everlasting for all intents.
However, right in front of the freshly risen Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign, they got wiped out without any fightback.
“To wipe out three Dharma-Transmitter in a flash?”
“If these three truly met their end so abruptly, then the might of the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign…”
Li Fan’s eyes tightened a bit. A flicker of skepticism emerged shortly after.
“If He possesses such overwhelming strength, why eliminate the three Dharma-Transmitters?”
“They merely stumbled in by accident. They caused no harm and offered no offense.”
Li Fan carefully reviewed the footage once more, going through it frame by frame. In the end, he spotted an odd detail.
“It looks like the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign originally had no plans to show up.”
“Yet one of the Dharma-Transmitters, Wei, apparently uncovered something—prompting the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign’s arrival.”
“So, was it to hush him up?”
Li Fan’s face took on a peculiar look.
Killing to seal lips struck him as unworthy of a Heavenly Sovereign’s stature. Still, He had resorted to it.
There was just one possible reason. Whatever Dharma-Transmitter Wei had glimpsed, if exposed, would spell unforeseen danger for the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign.
To avert that risk, He opted to destroy them all.
“In his final moments, Dharma-Transmitter Wei must have pondered the Great Reversal of Life and Death Formation.”
Chasing that reasoning, Li Fan started to infer. Thanks to his advanced skills in formation techniques, he rapidly seized the key idea.
“Just as I thought earlier, flipping life and death was never aimed at inverting the fates of cultivators.”
“Reviving cultivators was only a side effect from altering the world’s fundamental rules.”
“The real focus of this Heavenly Sovereign’s inversion is the [world] itself.”
A spark of insight lit up Li Fan’s eyes.
“To hide this intent, He wiped out the whole Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance team.”
“This suggests the world He aims to revive isn’t the Xuanhuang Realm, but rather one of the countless cultivation realms swallowed by Xuanhuang through the ages.”
“How fascinating. Is this… longing for His native land?”
After mulling over the whole affair again, Li Fan gave a small nod. “It’s clear why this individual stayed hidden for ages, avoiding the spotlight. This truly resembles borrowing a corpse to restore a soul. Should it succeed, his original world could indeed come back to life.”
“Yet the destiny of the Xuanhuang Realm would remain uncertain.”
“Should this plot come to light, it would ignite strong opposition from the Xuanhuang Realm’s local cultivators.”
“Thus, much like myself, he’s pursuing actions that shun the daylight.”
A subtle grin formed on Li Fan’s mouth.
“Still, all these schemes are bound to crumble.”
The grin faded in a flash. Li Fan shifted his focus back to the True Immortal Remnant Body. By this point, it had made its way back to the Xuanhuang Realm.
As the prime cause of three Dharma-Transmitter’s demise, it faced instant pursuit from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance the moment it returned.
On this occasion, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance meant business. After all, in the Mo Rubin takeover event, zero Dharma-Transmitter had lost their lives.
But now, three had dropped simultaneously. The dismay this inflicted on the Council of Dharma-Transmitter was unimaginable.
Over a dozen Dharma-Transmitter showed up as one, all zeroing in on the True Immortal Remains in the midst. Within the group, Li Fan even spotted the Museum of Divine Treasure’s overseer, the beast-race Emperor Beast Sanmo.
Unlike his look in the Fallen Immortal Realm, he appeared much more aged now. Nevertheless, he showed no worry over the Alliance’s chase. His face stayed blank, eyelids drooping halfway.
Evidently, his presence was just for show. Apart from them, Li Fan at last glimpsed the Mirror-Holder Lineage.
They wore deep green Daoist garments, bearing mirror-shaped marks on their brows.
The three dominant powers ruling the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance had convened fully, highlighting the massive fallout from the three Dharma-Transmitter’s deaths. Beneath their united might, Li Fan sensed his grip on the True Immortal Remnant starting to slip.
He prepared to explode the remains, aiming to tear open a link between the Xuanhuang Realm and the Dark Realm, then release a flood of the Dark Sea, but an unforeseen twist occurred.
The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s key players, poised to attack with full readiness, abruptly seemed to get some urgent news. First came bewilderment and denial.
Next, they acted without delay, moving as a single unit. Their forms flickered, as they overlooked the offender entirely and readied to pull back from the area.
Li Fan then witnessed Emperor Sanmo, who had kept his eyes shut till then, snap them open fully. It was like some presence had shown up, capturing his focus.
From the distant Spiritwood Realm, a chill of dread gripped Li Fan’s heart. His vast experience guided him to act without pause.
He cut off his tie to the True Immortal Remains and triggered their explosion right away.
Precisely as the remains burst into myriad shards, a silhouette wrapped in white mist materialized quietly next to it. It emerged out of nowhere, with incredible swiftness.
Yet in the end, it proved too slow.
Boundless shadows poured from the fissures in the exploded True Immortal Remains. They smashed straight into the white mist flowing from the new arrival’s form.
The shadowy flood Li Fan had expected failed to emerge. The white mist functioned like myriad barriers against water, or a steadfast barrier holding back the surge.
It solidly halted the disastrous shadows from breaking free.
…
Back in the Spiritwood Realm, a glint of iciness crossed Li Fan’s features.
“What is the meaning of this?”
“The two parties… have allied?”
“To track me down, they’d even ignore the loss of the Dharma-Transmitter?”
