My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1208: Hidden Dangers in the Xuanhuang Realm

After barely making it through the crisis, Li Fan started reflecting on the horrifying force he had just detected inside the Boundless Mirror.

"Could this be the cause of the Boundless Mirror's damage?"

"It feels like it even exceeds those True Immortal Seal Scripts."

"Everything I've witnessed up to now consists of mere replicas of True Immortal Seal Scripts, and what lingers in the Boundless Mirror is just a faint remnant echo."

"Might the disaster that struck the immortal realm connect to this?"

Though countless doubts churned in his thoughts, Li Fan chose not to probe further right now.

A force powerful enough to shatter the immortal realm far surpassed his current ability to challenge.

"It merely clings faintly to the Boundless Mirror. If triggered to erupt, it would cover no more than one city's area at most."

"In a dire pinch, it could prove useful."

"No surprise that a grand immortal artifact fell into the hands of a remnant soul from just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. That destructive storm is utterly petrifying."

"An immortal artifact tied to the Boundless Sect, situated in the Xuanhuang Realm, suffered this transformation..."

"Doesn't that imply this catastrophe once struck the Xuanhuang Realm too?"

"A simple remnant wave sufficed to wreck an immortal artifact. If the full event occurred, traces would surely linger somewhere."

Li Fan's mind halted briefly. Abruptly, two pivotal incidents that reshaped Xuanhuang Realm history flashed into his thoughts, sparking a possible link.

First came the mysterious vanishing of Xuantian King Xuanyuan Hong.

Second was the vanishing of those six peak Longevity Immortal Realm experts who had cornered the Immortal Ancestor—when he lingered only at the Dao Integration realm.

"Their cultivations towered at the era's summit."

"Nothing commonplace in the Xuanhuang Realm could threaten them. Unless..."

A ripple stirred deep in Li Fan's heart.

"A might beyond the mortal world."

Li Fan further remembered the Heavenly Capital Grand Mage, who entered the Xuanhuang Realm post-cataclysm and stayed wounded in Daoyuan Prefecture, immobile ever since.

"Was his arrival truly by chance back then?"

At that instant, heavy suspicion welled up irresistibly in Li Fan's chest.

This insight delivered a sharp caution to him as well.

Though his view now stretched past the Xuanhuang Realm to the Star Sea's distant edge, hidden powers within the Xuanhuang Realm still eluded his grasp.

Whatever actions he took, extreme vigilance remained essential.

Amid this torrent of reflections, Sun Luyuan rushed back in haste.

He processed a huge batch of essence blood plus various materials, feeding them into the essence blood pool.

The pool's water, which had dulled somewhat, regained its vibrant, flowing glow.

Li Fan shifted focus to the Boundless Mirror's status too.

It had nearly returned to its pre-fragment absorption form.

Yet it showed a touch more wholeness than earlier. Li Fan figured that Sun Luyao's awakening would bring further gains.

Besides, Li Fan had caught a fuller glimpse of the Grand Formation of the Primordial Mystic Spirit. Even short of total revival, he could manage fixes and reinforcements.

Three days passed before Sun Luyao, the Boundless Mirror's spirit, stirred awake for a short while from his profound sleep.

"Brother, I require certain items."

After sending the repair materials list via transmission, he slipped back into unconsciousness.

Sun Luyuan eyed the precise roster from his sibling and dashed off to collect them.

Meanwhile, the Medicine Hall's Chen family kept a tight watch on Sun Luyuan's actions, wary he might snap in desperation if cornered.

But Sun Luyuan acted as if the issue had slipped his mind completely. He bustled about, seemingly absorbed in some pressing task.

This baffled the Chen family somewhat.

Furthermore, their patron at Immortal Alliance headquarters, Dharma-Transmitter Chang, stayed out of contact.

So the Chen family opted to wait and watch silently.

Through Sun Luyuan's tireless, no-expense-spared drive, all needed materials assembled swiftly.

On the surface, Sun Luyao absorbed them, but truly, Li Fan's clone handled the deed.

As the formation's broken core mended bit by bit, the Boundless Mirror's state at last steadied.

Learning of his brother's ordeal, Sun Luyuan's brows knit deeply.

"Little brother, recall that ancient ruin where we first discovered this mirror?"

Sun Luyao paused in surprise.

"I once deemed that dilapidated spot a typical time-worn relic. But with your reminder now..."

Sun Luyuan's face darkened: "That site appears obliterated by the mirror's destructive storm..."

"Likely, that prior outburst gave us brothers our chance. Otherwise, with our levels then, how could we have claimed this mirror?"

Sun Luyao thought back to those events and gradually agreed.

"Quite possible. I recall that ruin held almost no valuables. The sole item the Tianxuan Mirror recognized yielded a pitiful contribution for restoration..."

"Concentrate on healing. Soon, I'll revisit that old ruin for a check. Its entrance hid superbly, and with just ruins left, years later it probably remains unchanged. Discoveries might await." Sun Luyuan stated somberly.

"Stay cautious, Brother." Sun Luyao offered no objection, just a warning.

"As for the Chen family..." Sun Luyuan let out a chilly huff.

He remembered the peculiar deduction the Boundless Mirror produced earlier.

"That faction clashing hard against the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance matches the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi my brother once uncovered."

"Thus, the Tianxuan Mirror's prophecy holds ground."

"Both supreme treasures issued such visions..."

"The moment to try reaching out has arrived."

Naturally, Sun Luyuan wouldn't charge to their doorstep right away.

After all, the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi hadn't yet declared open war on the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. He'd dispatch a reliable subordinate first to test waters, then plan accordingly.

By contrast, the Boundless Mirror—once seen as a supreme treasure but now a potential disaster bomb—troubled him deeply.

With his brother as its spirit, ditching it was unthinkable.

Sun Luyuan readied himself and aimed to revisit that ancient ruin first.

The Hundred Stones Cave-Heaven fiasco alerted him that the Chen family lurked in the shadows still.

To sidestep needless hassles, Sun Luyuan messaged an old ally.

Ji Hongdao!

"Old Ji, I need your assistance with a matter..." Sun Luyuan sent via spiritual talisman.

Shortly, Ji Hongdao showed up at the Sun family entrance.

"Hahaha, Old Sun, that debt from years ago gets settled at last." Ji Hongdao boomed with laughter.

"Heard you tangled with Medicine Hall's Chen family lately?" Inside the chamber, Ji Hongdao dropped his tone abruptly.

"Indeed. The Chen family somehow sniffed out Luyao's treasure." Sun Luyuan explained straightforwardly.

Ji Hongdao grasped it instantly.

"Don't worry. They boast a Dharma-Transmitter backer, but you've got a Mirror Holder backing you up."

"Their scheme's exposure means they won't risk moves soon."

Sun Luyuan replied gravely: "A desperate foe bites hardest. For this outing, I must impose on you, brother."
