My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1110: Death and Life Reveal Heavenly Sovereign

These corpses were all sealed in pale blue transparent ice crystals. Through the ice crystals, one could vaguely see the final expressions on these corpses’ faces from their lives. Anger, fear, doubt… Lifelike, as if they were still alive.

Dense clusters of ice crystal coffins filled the entire field of vision, blanketing the whole black ocean.

Not to mention those few Dao Integration cultivators; even the three leading Dharma-Transmitters felt a chill run down their spines and were speechless with horror upon witnessing the scene before them. Shocked by this spectacle, by the time they regained their senses, the True Immortal’s remains that had lured them here had long since vanished without a trace!

“This… what in the world is this ghostly place?!”

After a deathly silence, among the group, the Dao Integration cultivator named Zhu Gongchuan could not help but speak up. Fearing to disturb the cultivators slumbering here, Zhu Gongchuan’s voice was very soft. Moreover, one could faintly hear the fear deep in his heart.

It was not that they had never seen dead people. But so many corpses, all gathered in one place, and still preserving their vivid expressions from life… The shock brought by this scene was far beyond what words could describe.

No one answered Zhu Gongchuan’s question. The group flew silently over the Sea of Death, and even after a full half day, they still had not found its end.

“By preliminary estimate, the number of corpses here exceeds two billion… I’m afraid that even the combined number of cultivators and mortals currently living in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s Outer Prefectures is far less than this. Exactly…”

“These people are not from the Xuanhuang Realm. Or rather, the vast majority are not from the Xuanhuang Realm,” Dharma-Transmitter Wei said slowly at this point. “Judging from their clothing styles, these people should all come from different cultivation realms. Yet for some unknown reason, they were all sealed in ice here.”

“So many corpses, hidden within our Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s territory. And for so long, we have been completely unaware of it.” The other Dharma-Transmitter Chu’s expression also turned extremely ugly.

“What purpose did that True Immortal’s remains have in luring us here? Could it be that it wants to turn us into this state as well?”

“No. We have been inside for so long, yet we have not been attacked at all.”

The group discussed in hushed tones, yet they had no clue about the True Immortal’s remnant’ ultimate goal.

“Let’s search a bit more.”

So they flew over the Sea of Death for a long time longer. Finally, Dharma-Transmitter Wei discovered a clue: “These countless frozen corpses seem to form a massive formation.”

“A formation?” The group exchanged glances upon hearing this, then looked carefully around once more.

“Such a large-scale formation must possess world-destroying power. Could it be that this is a secret arrangement by the Five Elders Association to annihilate our Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance over these years?”

Not everyone present was proficient in formations, and after pondering fruitlessly, they could not help but let their imaginations run wild.

“This formation is extremely complex; seeing only a corner without the full picture, we cannot infer its true purpose. The urgent matter now is to first report this discovery to the Alliance headquarters. The longer we stay here, the more uncomfortable I feel in my heart,” Dharma-Transmitter Chu said gravely.

“Good thing this formation shows no intent toward us outsiders. It is neither a trapping formation nor a killing formation; as long as we find the formation’s eye, we should be able to leave,” Dharma-Transmitter Wei also made his judgment.

With the two Dharma-Transmitters reaching conclusions, the group finally breathed a secret sigh of relief in their hearts.

After lingering in the formation for several days, the group finally located the formation’s core. Passing through the core, they had assumed they would return to the white mist, but instead, they found themselves above an unfamiliar ocean. Unlike the previous dead, frozen black sea, here the salty, damp sea breeze carried a faint intoxication, and the calls of seabirds echoed endlessly in their ears.

From time to time, schools of fish could be seen leaping from the surface or darting through the depths. Teeming with life, the scene was refreshing and uplifting.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the group quickly scanned their surroundings and found no immediate danger. The Dao Integration cultivators thus felt a slight sense of relief. But the three leading Dharma-Transmitters grew unprecedentedly grave.

Dharma-Transmitter Wei furrowed his brows, gazing into the distance at the sky, murmuring to himself: “Different worlds, two sides of the same coin.”

“One is life, the other is death.”

Dharma-Transmitter Chu interrupted him: “No, death is the source of life, and life is the gathering of death. This is…”

The two exchanged a glance, their faces filled with horror. “Reversing life and death?” In perfect unison, they refrained from voicing those four words. Instead, they communicated via transmission.

“So that’s it. Does that mean this place is that Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign’s abode?”

“No wonder His speed in reversing the principles of heaven and earth to prove His Heavenly Sovereign status was so astonishing. He had long hidden here in this white mist, using the formation as a foundation to study the principles of life and death to utter perfection!”

“Then what connection does that True Immortal’s remains have with the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign?”

Having unraveled one mystery, new doubts immediately arose in their minds.

“From the current situation, they do not seem to be allies.”

“They discovered this abode long ago, so they deliberately led us here to probe the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign’s depths?”

The two fell into deep thought. After pondering for a long time, they reached no firm conclusion.

“Finding the formation’s core in this world of life should allow us to exit from here.” With no resolution from their deliberations, and a thorough search of the area yielding no information on the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign’s true identity, the three Dharma-Transmitters decided to withdraw for now and plan at length.

But just as they prepared to leave, Dharma-Transmitter Wei’s body paused slightly, as if struck by a realization.

“Reversing life and death, reversing life and death… The grand formation is complete, yet those deceased cultivators have not awakened. What has truly revived is the [world]?”

“If that’s the case, then the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign’s true purpose is…”

Dharma-Transmitter Wei paled as if struck by lightning.

“Go!” he commanded decisively.

However, it seemed his thoughts had been detected. A figure seemingly composed of white mist appeared silently, blocking the group’s path. Faced with this sudden enemy, who might very well be the elusive Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign, the group tensed to the extreme. Battle was imminent.

Dharma-Transmitter Wei stared at the figure for a moment. Seconds later, incredulity flashed in his eyes.

“It is…”

Before he could finish speaking, the white mist figure abruptly opened its eyes. Endless white mist surged from its body, overwhelming the sky and earth. In an instant, it engulfed the entire Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance group.

Ten Dao Integration cultivators and three Dharma-Transmitters. Such a formidable force had no power to resist and vanished into the white mist in the blink of an eye.
