My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1193: Fate Changes Abruptly
“Great Qi…”
The Taiyan Sect cultivator narrowed his eyes slightly. Within them, light and shadows seemed to flash rapidly.
“Great Xuan?”
“Eh?”
Unsure what he had seen, his tone suddenly became very surprised. He turned to look at Sun Erlang and asked, “In just a few years, such a massive deviation has already appeared? What is going on?”
Sun Erlang was completely confused and had no idea what the other party was talking about.
“Interesting. Come with me.”
The Taiyan Sect cultivator examined Sun Erlang carefully once more, then spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure instantly turned transparent.
A silver illusory road formed beneath his feet, leading straight into the depths of the mountain.
Sun Erlang transformed into a streak of light and followed closely behind.
After the two entered the mountain, the silver road disappeared as well.
Even the pit that Sun Erlang had dug on Mount Taixuan earlier was silently restored.
“My name is Yi Shu. The skeleton you brought back belongs to my clan brother.”
While walking, the Taiyan Sect disciple spoke to Sun Erlang.
“Back then, when the great calamity arrived together, such as the exclusivity of techniques and the Immortal-mortal Miasma, my clan brother bravely withdrew from the surging tide and sought refuge in a mortal small world. Although he was thereafter cut off from the immortal path, he still achieved the position of a mortal emperor. One could say it was fate at work.”
“After thousands of years apart, the day we meet again turned out to be like this. Although we had anticipated something when we parted back then… The workings of heaven are truly cruel!”
“Simulated illusory scenes are still different from real ones after all!”
Yi Shu let out a soft sigh and fell silent.
“Simulation? Real scene?” Sun Erlang keenly caught the two key phrases in Yi Shu’s words.
“This Taiyan Sect was famous throughout the world in ancient times for its derivation techniques. Could the ‘simulation’ and ‘deviation’ he mentioned refer to futures they have derived?”
They continued descending deep underground. When scenery appeared before their eyes once more, they were already high above the sky.
The blue sky was clear and spotless. Below stretched thousands of miles of fertile farmland.
Sun Erlang could clearly sense the auras of a large number of mortals here.
Meanwhile, Yi Shu flew forward through the air.
Sun Erlang quickly followed. A trace of doubt suddenly arose in his heart.
Ever since entering this small world, Yi Shu seemed to have undergone some kind of change.
However, for the moment he could not pinpoint exactly what was different.
“There is no sense of danger, and Master would definitely not harm me…” Sun Erlang forcefully suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and continued to follow.
Before long, a floating city suddenly appeared in Sun Erlang’s previously empty field of vision.
The city was wrapped in a layer of transparent crystal wall. It was precisely because of this crystal wall that Sun Erlang had not noticed the city in the sky earlier.
“Indeed quite capable. They can completely isolate even such a massive city.” Sun Erlang thought to himself.
At this moment, Yi Shu finally spoke again: “The Taixuan Realm was originally borrowed by our Taiyan Sect. Since immortals and mortals are separated, in order not to disturb the mortals of this realm, we constructed this crystal wall.”
Sun Erlang felt somewhat dismissive toward Yi Shu’s mention of disturbing mortals.
He did not voice any objection and simply nodded slightly.
After passing through the transparent crystal wall, they officially entered the Taiyan Sect.
The instant his feet touched the ground, Sun Erlang suddenly sensed that countless pairs of eyes were simultaneously looking at him.
Among them were quite a few auras belonging to Dao Integration powerhouses.
Sun Erlang was secretly shocked: “The strength of this Taiyan Sect has been preserved far too well. There are actually still so many cultivators here? How did they deal with the issue that technique cannot be cultivated together?”
As he went deeper into the floating city, the strange feeling in Sun Erlang’s heart grew increasingly intense.
“It’s too quiet here. It doesn’t feel like a normal, vibrant city at all.”
“Moreover…”
Sun Erlang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He had finally discovered the source of the abnormality he felt.
The Taiyan Sect cultivators here were exactly like the treefolks in the Spiritwood Realm. Although they had different faces, they all emanated the exact same aura.
It was as if they were countless bodies belonging to the same person!
Though shocked, Sun Erlang remained calm. He did not let his imagination run wild and directly asked: “Senior Yi, your Taiyan Sect…”
Yi Shu seemed to see through Sun Erlang’s confusion and smiled: “Once you meet Senior Brother Chen, you will naturally understand everything. However, Young Master Sun, please rest assured. Our Taiyan Sect has always been clear in distinguishing gratitude and grudges. You returned the remains of our Taiyan Sect disciples, which counts as a favor to the sect.”
“Although your proposal for an alliance may not necessarily succeed, you truly do not need to worry about your own safety.”
Sun Erlang neither agreed nor disagreed and swallowed back the words that had reached his lips.
Following Yi Shu to the center of the suspended city, they entered a blue transparent crystal building.
It felt as though he saw countless images of himself entering at the same time. After Sun Erlang recovered from the illusion, a handsome man with long hair reaching his waist suddenly stood before him.
“Senior Brother Chen.” Yi Shu cupped his hands.
“Yi Xing also went to the Taixuan small world to carry out a sect mission. Back then, because of his aptitude, he was never able to enter the inner sect for cultivation and always harbored resentment in his heart…”
“Now that times have changed, the concepts of inner sect and outer sect have long become jokes. Let Yi Xing return.”
Senior Brother Chen, also known as Chen Tianhai of the Taiyan Sect whom Li Fan had once met, spoke in a calm tone.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Yi Shu performed an extremely solemn bow.
Then his figure turned illusory, transforming into blue starlight before vanishing completely.
Only then did Chen Tianhai look toward Sun Erlang.
His opening words were shocking: “According to the original trajectory, you, Sun Erlang, after repeatedly going to Jieli Mountain to seek immortality without success, finally settled down, got married, and had children. Seven years later, dissatisfied with the new prefect’s excessive demands, you killed in anger. Afterward, together with your companion Wang Xuanba, you occupied a mountain and became bandits, bringing harm to the local countryside.”
“After stirring up trouble for more than ten years, you were eventually wiped out by the imperial army. You and Wang Xuanba fought to the death without surrendering and were hacked to pieces by blades.”
Sun Erlang listened to the “fate” that belonged to him from the other party’s mouth and could not help raising his eyebrows slightly.
“But now, everything is different.”
“Your future…”
Chen Tianhai’s figure turned blue and illusory.
Just moments later, he returned to his original form.
“Wonderful! A variable outside the script!”
“Holy Dynasty Great Qi…” A strange light flashed in Chen Tianhai’s eyes.
“To be able to cause such a large deviation in just a few short years…”
He muttered to himself, seemingly having discovered something extremely exciting.
“Do you know the origin of your master?” Chen Tianhai asked.
Sun Erlang simply looked at Chen Tianhai quietly.
“Right, not to mention whether you know. Even if you did, you probably would not say it, and could not say it.” Chen Tianhai revealed a mysterious smile.
Sun Erlang suddenly felt somewhat uncomfortable.
“Huh? Wait, the cultivation technique you practice…” While observing Sun Erlang, Chen Tianhai suddenly changed the subject, his tone carrying some surprise and uncertainty.
“Is it the Divine Wood Sect’s Mountain Sitting Art?”
