My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1109: Neither Body Nor Mind Cross the Calamity
A Golden Core cultivator stumbles while walking and accidentally breaks his leg.
A Nascent Soul cultivator flies in midair, but his spiritual power falters, causing him to plummet to his death on the spot.
A Soul Transformation cultivator dies suddenly from a heart attack during an overly intense battle with another…
These are the bizarre cases that occurred back then.
Later, this not-too-major calamity eventually dissipated on its own as the strange energy orbiting that alien star slowly faded away, vanishing without a trace.
In this current era, it has long been forgotten by everyone and does not exist in any historical records.
Only the Du’e Sect, through their special cultivation methods, recorded it.
“A force capable of affecting the entire Xuanhuang cultivation world is undoubtedly at the immortal level. It’s just a pity that the alien star was merely a chance visitor to the Xuanhuang Realm. It has never appeared again since.”
Li Fan could not help but feel a bit regretful.
Otherwise, just imagining those familiar cultivators having to live like ordinary mortals would have been quite amusing.
The paper figures from the Du’e Sect were not idly chatting with Li Fan about these past calamities in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Clearly, they had another purpose.
As scenes of cruel calamities continuously appeared in Li Fan’s mind, they gradually receded, and the battered Xuanhuang Realm finally regained new life.
A sense of “surviving the calamity” welled up in his heart.
He could not help but feel a touch of hard-won gratitude and cherishment for the current peaceful and stable state of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Of course, the effects of this brainwashing all quickly faded away with the circulation of the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra.
But Li Fan still acted the part with utmost sincerity, his face showing the perfect expression.
Finally, seeing that their methods had taken effect, the three paper figures obediently returned to the Book of Du’e.
“The Du’e Sect’s various tricks mostly involve toying with people’s hearts. One can see just how vile this sect is.”
“It’s just unfortunate for them that they encountered me. Hmph…”
Ever since he had freed the Book of Du’e from the Dharma-Transmitter’s restrictions, they had vaguely latched onto Li Fan.
Like persistent ghosts, following him everywhere.
Although with Li Fan’s current mastery of formations, he could easily reseal them by force with an array.
But Li Fan did not do so.
Because being pestered by these Du’e Sect paper figures was not without its benefits.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes and gazed into the distance at the Xuanhuang Realm.
He could vaguely see countless tiny specks of paper figures scattered across various parts of Xuanhuang.
When his intent focused on one of them, that paper figure inexplicably opened its eyes.
Through the paper figure’s eyes, Li Fan could see the scene it was surveilling.
However, it was like looking through frosted glass: not very clear. The sounds were also intermittent.
The connection did not last long before it was forcibly severed.
“It seems my authority is still insufficient,” Li Fan thought with a cold smile.
The benefit of accepting the Du’e Sect paper figures’ brainwashing was that he could gradually gain control over the [World-Observing Divine Eye].
The process of seemingly acknowledging the Du’e Sect’s ideology was also the process of joining and becoming a member of the Du’e Sect.
But clearly, Li Fan only intended to reap the benefits without actually joining this so-called Du’e Sect.
“Only if one’s strength is sufficiently great can any calamity be endured without harm.”
“Hiding like a turtle in its shell, what kind of skill is that?”
“Blindly fleeing, what use is it? When the Immortal Ruins Immortal wiped out the world with a single glance before, they could not even struggle and simply vanished.”
Li Fan had long known how the Du’e Sect would behave when the true calamity arrived; he held their ideals in utter disdain and contempt.
Yet he did not underestimate them.
Instead, he put on a very serious performance to deceive them.
While Li Fan was dealing with the Du’e Sect, the grand drama of that True Immortal remnant corpse was also reaching its climax.
The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, which had been tracking the remnant corpse for so long, had finally deciphered the patterns and methods of its appearances.
This time, they dispatched a full ten Dao Integration cultivators to encircle and intercept it, determined to capture this so-called True Immortal remnant body that had stirred up such turmoil.
The operation even included assistance from three Dharma-Transmitters.
Faced with such a massive force’s encirclement, the black puppet was clearly overwhelmed.
In the end, under Li Fan’s command, its body dissolved, pouring all of its stored final traces of darkness power into the True Immortal remnant corpse.
Thus, the True Immortal remnant corpse, replenished with power, vanished once more under everyone’s watchful eyes, right in the midst of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s encirclement!
However, this time, the distance it fled was not far.
The pursuing group of Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance cultivators quickly spotted its trail.
Unlike the previous elusive and ghostly evasions, it was now fleeing using the normal flight method of a cultivator.
“It seems he has finally tired of this game of hide-and-seek!” one Dao Integration cultivator said, his tone laced with faint anger.
Anyone who had been led around by a mere remnant body for so long would inevitably feel some frustration.
“Chase it! Be careful; do not get careless!”
“Eh, look at the direction he is flying…”
“No good; he is heading into the Essence Devouring White Mist!”
“No matter. I carry the Samantabhadra True Boat with me. Continue the pursuit!” Wei, one of the supervising Dharma-Transmitters, said coldly.
He released a flying boat, and the group of Dao Integration cultivators boarded it before closely pursuing the True Immortal remnant.
Some among them clearly were not entering the white mist for the first time.
Their eyes showed no fluctuation; instead, they calmly locked onto the position of the True Immortal remnant body ahead.
“It feels a bit off. Before, he only moved on the outskirts; why suddenly lead us into the white mist?”
“Could it be a trap?”
The group exchanged glances with one another.
However, with their current combined strength, even if they encountered a Longevity Immortal realm cultivator, they could retreat unscathed.
So they had few qualms.
Without much hesitation, they quickly reached a consensus: continue the chase and see what scheme this True Immortal remnant body was up to.
In the white mist, time lost all meaning.
The True Immortal remnant body’s enticing aura was also extremely pronounced, as if afraid the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance behind would lose its trail; while flying, it would even deliberately slow down.
Maintaining a fixed distance between the two sides.
Moreover, the True Immortal remnant body seemed extremely familiar with the white mist, occasionally changing direction.
It clearly had a definite destination.
This eerie scene made all the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance cultivators inside the Samantabhadra True Boat look grim.
After pondering for a moment, the Dharma-Transmitter Wei ultimately decided to keep following and investigate.
After all, as a Dharma-Transmitter, he could not truly perish.
And even if the True Immortal remnant body had some plot, figuring it out at the cost of a single life would still be quite worthwhile.
As for the Dao Integration cultivators beside him…
The Dharma-Transmitter Wei’s heart remained undisturbed.
The True Immortal remnant body and the Samantabhadra flying boat.
One ahead, the other behind, speeding through the white mist.
After an unknown length of time, the scene before them suddenly shifted.
When they clearly saw what lay ahead, the cultivators on the boat, including the several Dharma-Transmitters, all showed horror; their minds trembled violently.
An endless ocean floated with countless corpses.
