My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 823

As soon as Pei Tuo spoke, the others present were immediately shocked.

At the same time, they suddenly came to a realization.

No wonder Pei Tuo had lost his composure earlier—what Ji Shaoli had promised was actually an unclaimed Nascent Soul-level Cave Heaven!

It must be understood that for a Golden Core cultivator aiming to ascend to the Nascent Soul stage, such a place was a necessity.

Each unclaimed Cave-Heaven practically represented the rise of a future Nascent Soul cultivator.

Its value was immeasurable.

Unless one chose to pledge allegiance to one of the prominent families within the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the only alternative was to rely entirely on luck to find one.

Difficult, difficult, difficult!

Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance were as abundant as crops in the fields, coming and going in cycles.

They were the backbone of the Immortal Alliance.

The gap between realms was truly like night and day.

However…

Ji Shaoli himself was only at the Golden Core stage—could he really provide information about an unclaimed Cave-Heaven for the members of the Mutual Aid Association?

Was that even possible?

A trace of doubt flashed through everyone’s minds.

It wasn’t that they were overly skeptical.

It was just that this claim was…

Too unbelievable.

Not to mention that Ji Shaoli was all alone, without any backing or powerful force supporting him.

Even if he were part of some secretive organization, possessing an unclaimed Cave-Heaven would attract countless willing followers.

Why, then, would he bother recruiting in the Congyun Sea?

Could it be… the Five Elders Association?

As soon as this thought emerged, the initially excited crowd suddenly felt a chill run through them. The more they thought about it, the more uneasy they became.

Ji Shaoli, however, could clearly see what was going through their minds.

He chuckled and said, “There’s no need to overthink. I can assure you, I am definitely not some spy from the Five Elders Association.”

“The unclaimed Cave-Heaven I prepared for Pei Tuo is also within the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s territory.”

Only then did the crowd breathe a sigh of relief.

“The Mutual Aid Association is still in its early stages, so your doubts are understandable. However, facts speak louder than words. Once Pei Tuo successfully advances to the Nascent Soul stage, all skepticism will naturally vanish.” Ji Shaoli spoke with unwavering confidence.

“But before that happens, let’s resolve your matters first.”

Ji Shaoli clapped his hands lightly. Moments later, a projection of a faceless stone statue appeared in the grand hall of the cave mansion.

“This is the True Immortal of Compassion and Mercy in the Mortal World. All you need to do is sincerely pray to it and recite the membership oath in your heart. That will complete the initiation process.”

“After that, I will transfer contribution points to you.” Ji Shaoli introduced with a smile.

“That simple?” Xiang Xin asked doubtfully.

“Yes, it’s that simple. The Mutual Aid Association does not deal in mysticism.” Ji Shaoli affirmed.

Hearing this, everyone turned to gaze at the faceless stone statue hovering in the air.

It did not appear particularly extraordinary, but there was a faint, indescribable aura emanating from it.

Something about it suggested it was no ordinary statue.

With the temptation of an unclaimed Cave-Heaven before him, Pei Tuo had no fear. He was the first to step forward and silently recite the oath in his heart.

A moment later, he lifted his head. “That’s it?”

It seemed like nothing had happened.

“That’s it. Welcome to the Mutual Aid Association.” Ji Shaoli beamed with a warm smile.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

It did not take long before the first six members of the Mutual Aid Association had completed their initiation.

Ji Shaoli kept his promise and immediately transferred 100,000 contribution points to each of them.

When they confirmed, through the Tianxuan Mirror on the island, that they had indeed received this massive sum of points, their expressions became dazed, as if they were in a dream.

“The strength of the Mutual Aid Association lies in quality, not quantity. So please, do not spread this information indiscriminately. However, if you have exceptionally talented friends or family, you may introduce them to the Association.”

Before sending them away, Ji Shaoli once again reminded them.

After the group departed, Ji Shaoli turned around and looked at Pei Tuo, who appeared somewhat impatient.

“I wonder, Brother Pei, what kind of Foundation Establishment rare treasure and Golden Core method you are using? And what kind of Nascent Soul cultivation technique are you planning to cultivate?” Ji Shaoli suddenly asked.

Pei Tuo hesitated for only a moment before answering in full detail.

“I achieved my Dao Foundation with the [Wall of Solid Rock] and formed my Golden Core through the three methods of Protection, Life, and Earth.”

“I have set my sights on a cultivation technique called The Eight Directions Immovable Earth Sealing Art.”

Ji Shaoli first praised him, “Your Foundation Establishment rare treasure and Golden Core method complement each other perfectly. Brother Pei, you are truly remarkable.”

Before Pei Tuo could respond, Ji Shaoli continued, “I happen to know of a place called Thousand Rock Cave-Heaven, which aligns perfectly with your cultivation path.”

“What do you think?”

“Thousand Rock Cave-Heaven? That would be absolutely ideal!” Upon hearing this, Pei Tuo was overjoyed.

However, the next moment, a realization struck him, and his body suddenly stiffened.

He looked at Ji Shaoli, who stood not far away, and felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

To be able to cultivate all the way to the peak of the Golden Core stage relying solely on his own abilities

Pei Tuo was by no means a fool.

He keenly sensed that something was off.

Ji Shaoli just happened to know of a Thousand Rock Cave-Heaven that matched his cultivation path perfectly…

How could there be such a coincidence?!

One must know that most Nascent Soul cultivators struggle to find a Cave-Heaven that aligns well with their Foundation Establishment and Golden Core methods.

After all, finding any Cave-Heaven to achieve Nascent Soul was already an extraordinary stroke of luck.

Aside from the core disciples of prestigious families, who else had the luxury of being picky?

And yet, Ji Shaoli had specifically prepared a Cave-Heaven for him—one that seemed almost tailor-made…

Either it was pure coincidence—

Or it meant that…

Ji Shaoli knew of not just one, but many different Cave-Heaven.

And after learning about Pei Tuo’s cultivation path, he immediately selected the most suitable one for him.

What did this imply?

Only the topmost factions of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance would be capable of such a thing.

A chill ran through Pei Tuo’s heart.

An image surfaced in his mind once again—that Faceless Stone Statue.

The True Immortal of Compassion in the Mortal Realm, Deliverer from Suffering.

Just who… was Ji Shaoli, really?

As Pei Tuo’s mind reeled with unease, Ji Shaoli spoke again, “Brother Pei, what do you think?”

“If you have no objections, let us set out at once.”

Pei Tuo hurriedly agreed without hesitation.

Afterward, the two of them traveled through a teleportation formation, first arriving at Ten Thousand Immortal Island as a transit point.

Then, they continued their journey into the heart of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

This eased Pei Tuo’s concerns somewhat.

“At the very least, this has nothing to do with the Five Elders Association,” he thought to himself.

Upon arriving at Gufeng Prefecture, they exited Floating Sky City.

Ji Shaoli cast a secret technique to conceal their presence.

Then, they moved swiftly, eventually reaching a desolate Gobi Desert.

After scanning the surroundings and ensuring no cultivators were nearby,

Ji Shaoli pointed into the air and transmitted his voice quietly: “The Thousand Rock Cave-Heaven is right here.”

Pei Tuo was momentarily stunned, then flew to the indicated location, carefully sensing the area.

Not long after, he indeed detected an unclaimed Cave-Heaven, and his joy knew no bounds.

At the same time, he could hardly contain his astonishment.

“You may ascend here.”

“I will stand guard for you.”

Ji Shaoli said calmly.
