My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1121: Overthrowing the Immortal Alliance in Prison

"Maybe I can even turn them into followers of the True Immortal of Salvation!"

Gazing at the horde of inmates nearby, all howling in torment from the array's brutal penalties, Kou Hong experienced intense compassion and drifted into deep thought. "Still, this place is a tightly secured jail no matter what. Pulling this off will require me to scheme with utmost care over a prolonged duration."

A glint flashed in Kou Hong's eyes as he unleashed another outburst of rage to conceal his true intent. This time around, though, he intentionally displayed a sporadic and weakened appearance, as though he was about to collapse.

During the ensuing days, Kou Hong feigned total surrender to draw the guards' suspicion away from him. At the same time, he desperately delved into the intricacies of array diagrams each day and covertly built up his reserves to boost his personal might.

At last, he had grasped the truth. That surge of comforting warmth from the True Immortal of Salvation's mysterious grace, which had manifested inside him, turned out to be the prized cultivation energy that every cultivator yearned for.

Typically, such energy was gathered only through relentless daily toil in practice, acting as the core force for progressing through cultivation levels. But right now, it flooded into him without end, like an endless river.

Thanks to this influx, his power surged forward at an astonishing pace beyond belief. Within merely half a month, he had surged straight into the Golden Core Completion realm.

This only reinforced Kou Hong's belief that every one of these unbelievable wonders befalling him stemmed directly from the True Immortal of Salvation's benevolence! After all, as a regular mortal cultivator, it had required more than two centuries for him to attain the mid-Golden Core level! Yet these days, advancements came in mere instants.

Initially, Kou Hong believed Golden Core Completion marked his ceiling. But the events that followed utterly demolished his worldview, revealing to him the real essence of immortal might!

It was common knowledge that advancing from Golden Core to Nascent Soul demanded consuming a Cave-Heaven from the Xuanhuang Realm. At present, with Kou Hong still confined in the Nether Prison, fulfilling that requirement was impossible.

Yet, three days onward, an event that stunned Kou Hong to his core unfolded. As he channeled his spiritual power and examined his inner self, he shockingly found that a dim, ethereal outline of a Cave-Heaven had formed inside his dantian!

Probing it with greater focus, Kou Hong verified that this Cave-Heaven silhouette was no mere phantom. It genuinely existed! A brand-new Cave-Heaven was taking shape right within his body!

There was no need to question it; this miracle also came from the True Immortal of Salvation's favor. Kou Hong swiftly embraced this reality without resistance. Drawing on this budding Cave-Heaven, he officially advanced to the Nascent Soul stage a month afterward!

The unusual disturbances caused by the breakthrough were flawlessly hidden by the immortal energy coursing through his form. It failed to rouse the Nether Prison's wardens.

Kou Hong fixed his gaze on his hands, wondering if this was all a dream. The Nascent Soul stage, once just a distant fantasy for him, had now been attained with such ease.

"True Immortal of Salvation, I, Kou Hong, cannot fathom what merits I hold to earn such immense grace from you. I swear to carry out your mandate, even if it demands my life a thousandfold."

From the darkness, Kou Hong surveyed the vast array of imposing edifices in the Nether Prison encircling him, resolve slowly igniting in his eyes.

Once he stabilized in the Nascent Soul stage, Kou Hong's abilities kept climbing steadily each day without effort. However, his primary efforts now centered on dismantling the array and freeing the captives in the Nether Prison.

"Doing this solo will prove extremely challenging. Yet where in this jail can I recruit allies?" Kou Hong subtly watched his "fellow inmates" in the vicinity, picking out potential partners for the task.

In this way, an unknown span of time slipped by. On that particular day, Li Fan glanced at the transmission from Kou Hong and couldn't suppress a subtle grin. Still, he acted oblivious and offered no reply.

Refusing to yield, Kou Hong attempted a couple more reaches out. Ultimately, he relented in despair. "Was my assessment off? That can't be right."

Right when Kou Hong found himself in a desperate bind, a fresh inmate's arrival snagged his notice right away. This individual wasn't from the Federation of All Worlds; he'd been locked up here for breaching the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's rules.

From the nature of his offense, it seemed he had zero shot at freedom for the rest of his days.

"You scum now wish to end it all to pay for your crimes at the slightest provocation. It's not so simple! I'll ensure you can't even plead for death, forcing you to rot eternally in this lightless abyss, consumed by endless dread!" The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance cultivator handling the transport snarled through clenched teeth.

The captive stayed mute. Yet his glare at the escort brimmed with scorn and murderous urge. Still, beneath the merciless array's grip, it swiftly morphed into screams of suffering.

When folks endure unbearable agony, their blurted cries invariably reveal their deepest sentiments. Having eavesdropped for days on this new cellmate's outbursts, Kou Hong grew certain he made an ideal teammate.

That day, once the man had been wracked by torment to the brink of collapse, Kou Hong stealthily breached the array and relayed a whisper. The fellow snapped his eyes open at once, straining to pinpoint Kou Hong's location. It proved futile, of course.

Following their hushed conversation, Kou Hong picked up his identity. Zhang Fu.

His wrongdoing wasn't severe; he'd simply skimmed off a third of the Moling Prefecture's Alchemy Hall yearly earnings for his own gain. Back then, even if exposed, a bit of contribution points and some connections would have let him bribe his way free.

But this instance, fate turned sour as a bitter rival somehow learned of it. That foe straightaway alerted the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's central command. The core responded with rare haste this time.

Before Zhang Fu could grease any palms, the central delegate showed up. A quick probe uncovered undeniable proof, leading to his immediate arrest. They skipped the standard reexamination entirely, hauling him directly to the shadowy jail and sealing him in.

Only then did Zhang Fu see he'd been framed. He'd figured eternal ruin awaited, but surprisingly, a chance arose.

"Assist in unleashing the offenders from the Nether Prison? That's a death penalty act. Sure, reincarnation exists for everyone these days, but I caught wind before entry that the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance struck a deal with that Rebirth Heavenly Venerable. Those guilty of heinous acts against the Alliance forfeit rebirth. They perish for real! Just like the prior Federation of All Worlds folks."

Ignorant of Kou Hong's fierce trembling nearby, Zhang Fu pressed ahead solo: "Though stuck here spells no escape ever, it's preferable to outright annihilation. Who can say? Perhaps someday the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance will declare a universal pardon?"

Zhang Fu resisted at the outset; he even pondered secretly turning in this plotter to redeem himself and earn favor. But the subsequent remark from his counterpart flipped his stance.

"In this place, dying offers sweet release. Don't take my word; just observe those surrounding us."
