My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1107: One Scheme to Hevoc the Heavens
True Immortal. The allure for cultivators is simply too fatally irresistible.
Ever since the Immortal path was severed, becoming an immortal became an unattainable dream for all cultivators.
But now, suddenly, a True Immortal’s remnant body has appeared in the world.
Moreover, all signs indicate that this True Immortal’s shed remnant body is very likely genuine!
At this point, no matter how much doubt lingers in their hearts, the choice every cultivator makes is to seize this remnant body first and deal with the rest later.
Even if it is not a True Immortal’s remnant body, judging by the various anomalies it has triggered, the benefits to be gained would still be considerable!
As a result, cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance have all left their Heavenly Cities and are searching everywhere for traces of this True Immortal’s remnant body.
Even many Five Elders Association cultivators who were shopping in Nine Mountains Prefecture have rushed over from thousands of miles away just to join in the excitement.
With the establishment and development of the Nine Mountains Free Trade Prefecture, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association have maintained peace for a long time.
Relations between the two sides have further eased; as long as they apply, cultivators from either side can visit the other for tourism and sightseeing.
It seems they intend to prove through this method that their side is more suitable for cultivators to survive.
However, there has yet to be any news of anyone switching allegiances.
The exchanges between the two sides remain at the most superficial level.
Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance cultivators are still largely wary of these Five Elders Association members.
While searching in groups for the True Immortal’s remnant body, they try to keep their distance as a precaution.
“You think this True Immortal’s remnant body might be some ploy from the Five Elders Association? Deliberately trying to throw us into chaos. We’ve all been too focused on business lately, and our vigilance against the Five Elders Association has been waning year by year. Sigh, this is no good at all.”
“Indeed, who knows when they might suddenly strike again! The Five Elders Association is no benevolent group!”
“What are you all thinking? Those mysteriously appearing Spirit of Heaven and Earth are also the Five Elders Association’s doing? This is on our Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s turf. We ourselves were unaware of these Spirits of Heaven and Earth; if the Five Elders Association knew about them so clearly, we’d be better off surrendering early!”
…
The occasional appearance of Five Elders Association cultivators did not hinder the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s pursuit of the True Immortal’s shed mortal body.
With the emergence of a second lucky one, the desire in their hearts grew even stronger.
The second cultivator fortunate enough to make close contact with the True Immortal’s remnant body was named Xue Mu.
He was a Foundation Establishment formation master.
In truth, he did not truly touch the True Immortal’s remnant body; he was merely blocked by the golden light encircling it.
But in the instant the golden light entered his body, Xue Mu’s mind was instantly flooded with countless bizarre and unimaginable array formations.
The sheer volume of information nearly burst his sea of consciousness.
At this life-or-death juncture, Xue Mu instinctively let go. The True Immortal’s remnant body then vanished once more.
But Xue Mu, who had missed such a tremendous opportunity, showed no regret. Instead, after being stunned for a long time, his face lit up with joy, and he threw his head back in wild laughter.
Later, everyone learned that in that seemingly brief instant, he had obtained at least a hundred formations from the True Immortal’s remnant body.
Moreover, and more importantly, the level of these formations generally surpassed those of the Xuanhuang Realm by several tiers.
Even the most powerful formation in the current Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance could not compare to any one in his mind!
Although his strength had not increased, for the formation master Xue Mu, this harvest was far more important than advancing several major realms.
Soon, Xue Mu was taken away by someone dispatched from the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s Strategy Formation Hall.
Not long after, internal news confirmed the advanced nature of the formations he had obtained in his sea of consciousness.
What existence besides a True Immortal could possess such ability?
This undoubtedly confirmed the rumor of the True Immortal’s remnant body.
After the news spread, some people in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance finally could not sit still.
In the Spiritwood Realm, Li Fan connected the communication with Dharma-Transmitter Zhou.
“The matter of the True Immortal’s remnant body has caused quite a stir recently. What is Fellow Daoist’s view on it?”
Li Fan quickly replied, his tone resolute: “It is all fabrication, pure rumor! Fellow Daoist Zhou, you must not believe it!”
“You are so certain?” Now it was Dharma-Transmitter Zhou’s turn to be suspicious.
Li Fan sneered: “The immortal path has been severed for so many years; none of our colleagues from the various realms has ever seen a True Immortal’s corpse.”
“The Xuanhuang Realm…”
“Is the same. How could it be such a coincidence that it appeared without warning? And it spread to everyone in an instant; I suspect someone is stirring things up in secret!” Li Fan said with conviction.
“But the accompanying Spirits of Heaven and Earth are indeed genuine. Even in the Immortal Alliance, two people have already successfully advanced to Dao Integration because of them. I truly cannot think of any force in the Xuanhuang Realm that could so casually produce so many Dao Integration resources and use them as bait?” Dharma-Transmitter Zhou did not heed Li Fan’s words but countered.
Li Fan seemed stumped as well.
After a long silence, he sighed: “The more this is the case, the greater the plot behind it must be! Your Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance reaps full rewards, while we live in constant fear.”
Dharma-Transmitter Zhou suddenly asked upon hearing this: “It truly is not your handiwork?”
“What kind of talk is that! The Federation of All Worlds has lain dormant for many years; how could we suddenly stir up such a storm?” Li Fan’s tone carried some displeasure.
“In my view, it might instead be an enemy of your Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. Ruling the Xuanhuang Realm for thousands of years, have you no mortal foes?”
“Hm?!” Li Fan’s words seemed to remind her of something.
Dharma-Transmitter Zhou was somewhat taken aback, and after a brief silence, she hastily cut off the communication.
Only then did Li Fan’s face reveal an enigmatic expression.
There was no need for words; all the turmoil in this affair was naturally Li Fan’s doing.
Using the darkness power of the pitch-black puppet, the True Immortal’s remnant body shuttled back and forth across regions, appearing and vanishing like a ghost, evading the pursuit of countless cultivators.
And by secretly diverting the Heavenly Dao False Misconversion in the shadows, directing one Spirit of Heaven and Earth after another to manifest voluntarily, Li Fan made the performance even more lifelike.
As for the two beneficiaries of this incident, Zhang Haobo and Xue Mu, though they had no connection to him in this life, they were all acquaintances from past reincarnation experiences.
Li Fan did not mind; he was happy to do a good deed and help them out.
However, as he widely spread false heavenly mandates across various places, the Xuanhuang Realm’s tolerance and vigilance were nearing their limit.
Next, he would probably have to lie low for a while.
“The formation is set; they have no choice but to enter the trap. In such a chaotic situation, it should conceal my true intentions,” Li Fan said with a low chuckle.
“But Dharma-Transmitter Zhou’s reaction at the end was somewhat strange. What did she recall?”
“Could it be that the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance truly has an enemy willing to use several Dao Integration resources as bait?”
As Li Fan thought this, he could not help but furrow his brow.
