My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1302: Returning to Void, Ultimately Reverting to Truth

“A thousand lines of soul shifting, a hundred bends of spirit turning.”

“Blameless.”

...

The phantom continued transmitting the Dao.

It was not through sound or divine sense transmission, but directly resonated within everyone's minds.

Even the Holy Emperor, the Immortal Ancestor, and the Heavenly Doctor, all of whom were deeply concerned about the fate of the Xuanhuang Realm, found their minds uncontrollably immersed in the immortal art being imparted by the Dao child.

Only after the entire immortal art had been recited, when the Dao child phantom became blurred once more and its voice turned faint and intermittent, did the three awaken from their trance, drenched in cold sweat.

They exchanged glances, then with perfect tacit understanding retreated backward, distancing themselves from the Dao child phantom.

The phantom did not stop them, as if it had already fulfilled its mission, allowing the three to leave freely.

In the end, together with the Dao child phantom, it vanished mysteriously into the void.

Seeing this scene, all three wore highly complicated expressions.

They pondered the reason for the phantom's sudden appearance to transmit the Dao, only to gradually disappear afterward.

At the same time, they were also reflecting upon the immortal art they had just heard. Immortal arts were unlike mortal cultivation methods, being exceedingly difficult and obscure.

Especially since the Dao child phantom had merely recited the contents directly, without offering any explanation whatsoever.

Although the Holy Emperor and the other two possessed comprehension that could be considered the peak of the mortal world, fully understanding an immortal art in such a short time was still somewhat beyond them. They could only grasp a rough outline.

"This is not a cultivation method, but a technique for avoiding calamity. It also seems to contain fragments of records concerning the Immortal Realm..."

The Holy Emperor's thoughts raced, but his movements did not pause as he turned and returned to the Xuanhuang Realm.

The Immortal Ancestor followed closely behind.

As for the Heavenly Doctor, he had vanished at some unknown moment.

The Holy Emperor casually glanced toward Daoyuan Prefecture of the Xuanhuang Realm, yet did not sense any sign of Heavenly Capital awakening.

"The Xuanhuang Realm is on the verge of total destruction, yet that place remains unmoved."

"And yet just now, it actively manifested..."

"Was it because of the obliterating wind calamity?"

Though countless questions filled his mind, now was ultimately not the time to investigate deeply.

These thoughts passed in an instant, and the Holy Emperor refocused his attention on the Xuanhuang Realm's current condition.

Outside the Xuanhuang Realm, another endless rain of golden needles descended.

However, the power dissipating after the golden needles struck the ground had undergone subtle changes compared to before. With a single glance, the Holy Emperor discerned some clues. If the earlier needles had been like a powerful medicine administered during a critical illness, then the current ones were like restorative treatment after recovery from a serious disease. The power of the golden needles had become far gentler and more soothing.

Hidden thunder rumbled, fine rain fell continuously.

It resembled the awakening of insects in spring, when all things revived and flourished.

The turbulent Xuanhuang Realm was actually displaying a scene full of vitality. If not for the hidden, faintly discernible aura of a grand formation lurking in secret.

Truly worthy of the title Heavenly Doctor. In such a short time, relying solely on golden needles, he had forcibly reversed the already merging Xuanhuang worlds and restored them to their original state. The Xuanhuang heaven and earth returned to their former appearance. Even more remarkably, heaven and earth themselves had not suffered any injury because of it.

To heal heaven as one heals a person, with golden needles reversing life and death. Reaching such a realm required not merely immense cultivation and strength, but also a profound understanding of the essence of the world.

As a fellow Supreme being, one who had once regarded himself as the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao and possessed an incomparably close connection with heaven and earth, the Holy Emperor knew clearly that he absolutely could not achieve what the Heavenly Doctor had done.

"But even someone like the Heavenly Doctor still cannot find the mastermind behind all this..."

The Holy Emperor's heart grew unbearably heavy.

Ever since returning from the void outside Great Qi, the Xuanhuang Realm had felt increasingly ominous to him.

Previously, it had been like water heating in a pot.

Now, it was only a hair's breadth from boiling.

A qualitative transformation could occur at any moment.

The Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor had sensed it as well, and no longer held back, finally revealing their true methods.

In the Heavenly Cities of every prefecture, where statues of the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor had originally stood, regardless of whether the statues still existed, gigantic illusory figures of the Immortal Ancestor now appeared amid waves of spatial trembling, replacing them.

Like points of light igniting one after another, they shone across more than half of the Xuanhuang Realm's body. On the Five Elders Association's side, five points of different colors lit up simultaneously.

Six colors linked together into lines.

Like the meridians of the Xuanhuang Realm, radiating brilliant light in broad daylight.

"Seal the soul."

"Substitute for the world."

The Heavenly Doctor's incomparably cold voice echoed throughout heaven and earth.

The Immortal Ancestor's figure once more expanded to fill heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Doctor faintly appeared atop the Immortal Ancestor's colossal form.

Then, in his right hand, he held a seven-colored needle.

With solemn expression, he pierced it into the Baihui acupoint atop the Immortal Ancestor's head.

The Immortal Ancestor's immense form instantly erupted with dazzling seven-colored radiance.

Then, as if dissolving, it transformed into streams of flowing light that flew downward into the continuously flashing Xuanhuang meridians.

Silently, the seven-colored radiance completed one full circulation the instant it entered the Xuanhuang meridians.

After a brief moment of stillness, the seven-colored light began circulating through the meridians once more.

"Seal the soul and substitute for the world?"

"This is the Heavenly Doctor temporarily sealing the Immortal Ancestor's soul and guiding it into the Xuanhuang heaven and earth, achieving a temporary substitution of body for heaven?"

Watching this scene from afar, the Holy Emperor was profoundly shaken.

Having once merged with heaven himself, the Holy Emperor understood exactly how difficult such a feat truly was.

Not to mention an entire world, even seizing the body of a single cultivator was no simple matter.

The Xuanhuang Realm not only possessed Heavenly Dao consciousness, but because it existed outside the Immortal Ruins in a uniquely dangerous environment where extinction could come at any moment, that consciousness was extraordinarily active.

Not long ago, someone had even inherited the position of Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.

With so many reinforcing factors, the Heavenly Doctor and the Immortal Ancestor working together could still forcibly suppress and seal the Xuanhuang Realm's fundamental consciousness, replacing it with themselves...

"Even if the Xuanhuang Realm's Heavenly Dao is unaware of the current crisis, once the Immortal Ancestor replaces it and inspects matters personally, he will absolutely be able to locate the hidden grand formation."

This method of suppressing the world's origin would certainly inflict tremendous damage upon the Xuanhuang Realm.

But with crisis at hand, there was no room to care about such things.

The Holy Emperor waited solemnly for the Immortal Ancestor's discovery.

When the seven-colored light had circulated through the Xuanhuang meridians for more than three thousand six hundred cycles, the circulation suddenly halted.

At one location, it was as though the meridians had been blocked by something, erupting with black baleful energy that shot into the heavens.

The Heavenly Doctor abruptly opened his eyes.

A trace of killing intent, exceedingly rare in his compassionate gaze, emerged.

Nine golden needles streaked forward like lines, instantly flying toward the locked location.

At the same time, the Holy Emperor reacted as well.

His figure flashed, appearing together with the nine golden needles.

The surrounding land had already been reduced to nothingness by the earlier eruption of black energy.

Revealing the deeply hidden void below. Within that void, two figures stood, one seated and one standing.

The seated one appeared no larger than a seven or eight year old child, brows tightly furrowed.

The standing figure's face could not be seen clearly.

Yet when facing the Heavenly Doctor's golden needles and the utterly enraged Holy Emperor, that figure displayed not the slightest fear.

Only complete calm.

"This familiar feeling again..."

The Holy Emperor felt as though he had fallen into an abyss, his heart turning ice cold.

In a daze, the rapidly descending golden needles seemed to slow down.

The Holy Emperor seemed to see that figure below, and slowly uttered a single phrase.

"Immortal Descent..."

"All Things Return to Void!"

Boom!

An invisible storm erupted instantly.

The Heavenly Doctor's nine golden needles were blown apart in an instant, scattered in all directions.

The rapidly fleeing Holy Emperor was like someone slamming headfirst into a wall. It was far worse than merely seeing stars. His body and soul nearly collapsed outright. Fortunately, starlight surged forth and barely repaired the Holy Emperor's injuries.

Even with a constant replenishment of source power essence, the Holy Emperor, despite being in the Supreme Realm, could only barely maintain survival within this surrounding environment of chaotic violence.

The void concealing the mastermind had already vanished from sight. He could no longer even see the entire Xuanhuang Realm.

It was like a terrifying sandstorm, blotting out the heavens and covering the earth as it surged endlessly.

Everything in existence was engulfed within it.

The Heavenly Doctor's nine golden needles had long since been scattered to unknown places under the violent storm.

The auras of the Immortal Ancestor and the Heavenly Doctor could no longer be detected.

The only thing that could be sensed was endless chaos all around.

The Holy Emperor's mind fell into momentary blankness, after which incomparable grief and fury surged from his heart.

Even without witnessing it with his own eyes, he knew that the Xuanhuang Realm was being torn apart inch by inch within this horrifying grand formation.

Everything was beyond saving.

"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!"

The Holy Emperor lost all composure, cursing madly.

Ignoring his own safety, he charged recklessly through the chaotic storm, trying to find that familiar yet unfamiliar mastermind behind everything.

But the only response he received was the ever-growing merciless storm.

...

Once immortal power had been transformed through the immortal formation into a void storm that destroyed everything, the destruction of the Xuanhuang Realm had already become inevitable.

This land where countless worlds had fused together, the only remaining paradise in the Darkest Star Sea, was now being rapidly devoured by this world-ending storm.

At the center of the formation, Sun Tianci, who had previously been trying to awaken his mother, no longer had the luxury of caring about her curses.

He jolted upright, staring at the Xuanhuang Realm, which had become riddled with devastation in the blink of an eye, completely stunned.

"Mas... Master?"

Only after quite a while did Sun Tianci manage to call out with difficulty.

However, the master who had always responded in the past, the seemingly omnipotent master, never appeared again.

As the Xuanhuang Realm stood on the brink of total destruction, Sun Tianci not only felt the power he had just inherited from the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable rapidly draining away, but because of this catastrophic dereliction of duty, the backlash of the Great Celestial Venerable also descended in an instant.

A nameless fire suddenly ignited within Sun Tianci's heart.

There was no pain at all. Sun Tianci only felt that his very existence was being burned away by the flames.

Within his sea of consciousness, his mother, who had previously ignored everything happening outside and done nothing but viciously curse him, gradually seemed to forget his existence.

She slowly fell silent, staring blankly into space.

"Tianci, Tianci..."

"Tianci... who is that?"

Countless demonic thoughts transformed into wisps of green smoke and vanished without a trace.

In the end, only Wu Ninglu's original appearance remained, blankly staring at the empty surroundings.

A tear inexplicably fell from the corner of her eye.

Wu Ninglu and Sun Tianci perished together within the heart-burning fire of the Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable.

At the center of the immortal formation, Li Fan's clone slowly revealed himself.

He frowned slightly, sensing that he seemed to have forgotten the existence of certain people.

But after running a deduction and confirming that they were merely insignificant pawns who had helped complete the immortal formation, he shook his head slightly and paid them no further attention.

Instead, he focused his attention on the few figures still struggling within the immortal formation.

...

Yin Shangren and Xu Ke, not long after escaping from the Museum of Divine Treasures, witnessed the successive earth-shaking changes within the Xuanhuang Realm.

While they were still marveling in shock, a world-ending storm suddenly descended.

Though the two of them could absolutely be considered powerful figures within the Xuanhuang Realm,before this world-ending immortal formation, they could only await death in despair.

Had it not been for Mr. Bai's skull that they carried protecting them, they would likely have already perished.

The chaotic storm grew increasingly violent.

The protective power emanating from Mister Bai's skull was also gradually weakening.

They likely would not survive much longer.

Yet at the brink of death, Xu Ke and Yin Shangren, unlike other living beings, were not filled with fear.

White-haired Xu Ke held Mr. Bai's skull in his arms, staring blankly in a daze.

"I should have died long ago. I merely lingered on for Mr. Bai's mission. Now, being able to be buried together with Mr. Bai can be considered a fitting death..."

Yin Shangren, meanwhile, gazed calmly ahead at the storm, with a faint trace of madness in his eyes.

"I was already a specter of the world, an existence that died once before. I wonder what will happen if I die once again?"

The only response was the endlessly howling invisible wind.

Yin Shangren and Xu Ke were slowly completely swallowed by the chaotic storm.

Even the skull in their hands was on the verge of collapse.

Just before the skull disappeared into the storm, a flicker of light flashed, and it vanished without a trace.

...

Countless golden needles revolved in orbit, forming a solid protective shell, attempting to resist the storm's erosion.

It was indeed somewhat effective, but under the increasingly violent storm, the golden protective light inevitably began to dim.

The Heavenly Doctor swept his gaze across the surroundings, seemingly somewhat dazed.

As though he had suddenly lost the goal he had struggled toward for so long, he stood frozen for a moment.

But very quickly, his gaze turned gloomy once more.

One hand extended beyond the golden protective barrier, drawing in a strand of the immortal formation's world-ending storm.

The Heavenly Doctor's hand turned into nothingness within the storm.

But at the same time, a storm seemed to begin raging within the Heavenly Doctor's own eyes.

...

The Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor recovered from his Manifestation of Heaven and Earth form.

When the world-ending immortal formation activated, he had been temporarily possessing and replacing the Xuanhuang Realm through the Soul Sealing World Substitution Method. Therefore, when the world-ending storm erupted across every corner of the Xuanhuang Realm, it was almost equivalent to him facing this unimaginably terrifying catastrophe directly.

Although this storm seemed somewhat inferior to the obliterating wind calamity he had seen before, there was no doubt that this was genuine immortal power manifested.

And the obliterating wind calamity had merely been a tiny remnant of power.

The original obliterating wind calamity naturally possessed destructive power far exceeding the immortal formation storm.

But the immortal formation catastrophe currently erupting within the Xuanhuang Realm vastly surpassed the obliterating wind calamity countless times over.

Even the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor, despite being in the Supreme Realm, was as helpless as an ordinary mortal within it.

The severely injured Immortal Ancestor's body slowly dissolved.

The Tianxuan Mirror he carried fell powerlessly.

The Tianxuan Mirror emitted a faint dim green light, flickering uncertainly, as though it might be completely extinguished at any moment.

A transparent figure emerged from the dissolving shell of the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor.

It somewhat resembled the Immortal Ancestor, yet was subtly different.

The transparent figure seemed to possess extremely strong resistance against the immortal formation's annihilation storm. Even with its eyes closed in slumber, it was enough to temporarily remain unharmed by the storm.

...

Within the territory of the Five Elders Association.

At the very moment the immortal formation erupted, the overwhelming majority of living beings were reduced to ashes.

But it was as if an unseen dark cloud had always hung over the Five Elders Association's territory. Even after the Xuanhuang Realm disappeared, that dark cloud still remained.

It even sheltered the countless lives that had vanished within the immortal formation.

...

Within the White Mist Barrier.

"Finally out."

With the combined efforts of everyone aboard the Xuan Immortal Ark, they finally unraveled the mysteries of the Life and Death Reversal Great Formation.

Having found the formation core, the Immortal Ark successfully broke free from the formation.

However, before they could even go trouble the Immortal Ancestor... the world extermination Immortal Formation had already descended.

The Xuan Immortal Ark, upon which everyone depended for survival, swayed endlessly like duckweed caught in a storm.
