My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 753: Chapter 716: The Heavenly Sovereign Goes Against Reason again

For not only can’t we find any record of them now, even the people of the Medicine King Sect who came from the Ancient Xian Realm throughout time have no knowledge about them.

They know nothing about the Celestial Doctor.

This is rather abnormal, and it forces one to question their origins. Because such powerful beings, certainly wouldn’t be nameless.

“If that’s the case, then it can explain a lot of things.”

“When I wanted to use the [Technique of Heavenly Annihilation] and the [Vast Sea Technique] to form my Golden Core, I felt a fatal crisis. If I simply used these two to form the core, I would have undoubtedly invited celestial backlash. Only by adding insights from the Blue Flame, Mo Sha, and other laws, could I stabilize the Golden Core. Because the techniques of Sky Killing and Vast Sea that I learned from were not native to the Xuanhuang World.”

“If I forcefully use these two to form the core, I may be seen by heaven and earth as a pure outsider. As for the result…”

Li Fan’s spirit consciousness was filled with the scenes of Misthaven Ocean being destroyed instantaneously.

“This might be the reason Misthaven Ocean had to die.”

“A being that doesn’t belong to Xuanhuang World, but relies on its nourishment to prosper. It’s like a foreign body lodged within, which must be removed for relief.”

“But then the successful formation of Zhang Haobo’s Tao Foundation using Heavenly Sword Intent indicates that these outsiders are gradually becoming part of Xuanhuang World.”

“Just like Misthaven Ocean, which was wiped out once by Crimson Flame and Mo Sha, and then revived, it seems the hostility of heaven and earth towards it lessens significantly.”

“Contact, fusion huh…”

Li Fan was thoughtful.

Back in the day in the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, when Hanhai identified the Fisherman as the culprit of the massacre, he had said, “Apart from Tianjie Venerable, no one else can use the Sky Kill Heavy Weapon.”

Originally, Li Fan thought what he referred to were the two characters [Sky Kill]. After all, when Zhang Haobo fell back in the day, the celestial anomalies revealing his Tao Foundation were the [Sword Intent of Celestial Destruction]. And one of Li Fan’s Ninefold Laws was the Technique of Heavenly Annihilation.

Now it seems, perhaps in the original world of the Celestial Doctor, Sky Killing was [Sky Kill].

But after they arrived in Xuanhuang World, their laws evolved toward the same direction as the laws of Xuanhuang World.

And so some discrepancies were born.

Li Fan thought further, the Xuanhuang World now had nearly expanded by one fold compared to ancient times.

On one hand, they sparing other cave worlds and avoiding being swallowed by the Immortal Ruins.

On the other hand, the different laws between the worlds were clashing.

This might be the origin of the [Mysteries] in this world.

“The memory loss of Tianjie. Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters and Tian Yu turning into Mysteries, could it be influenced by the fusion of worlds?”

“In this way, the [Celestial Doctor] who survived unharmed in this process has an even more terrifying strength.”

“Moreover, the Celestial Doctor has lived for thousands of years, and the various mysterious Mystical Realms in the White Mist are clearly related to him. I wonder what he is plotting.”

“The strangest thing is the reaction of several Immortal Sovereigns in Xuanhuang World. If they say they don’t know anything about the Celestial Doctor’s actions, I certainly don’t believe it. But they have always been indifferent. Have they made some kind of deal, or…”

The face of the Celestial Doctor appeared in Xu Bai’s spirit consciousness.

After a long while, he slightly shook his head and suppressed his chaotic thoughts temporarily.

After returning to Tianliang State and restoring the connection of the Communication Talisman, a flurry of messages immediately fluttered in like snow.

Xu Bai handled them one by one calmly and unhurriedly.

How to balance the bowl of water had been thoroughly practiced by him while he served as the advisor of Da Xuan.

Roughly six hundred and forty positions were still available in Tianliang State.

With Nangong Shirong’s approval, there were only over two hundred positions that could be used to trade or compromise with other forces.

But the ones who want a piece of this are surely over a thousand.

How to make the majority of people feel satisfied without offending too many people requires careful consideration.

Xu Bai was investigating these people’s details while replying to the messages and probing their characters.

…

While Xu Bai was busy with his new job, a major event suddenly attracted the attention of the whole world.

The head of Dao Origin State, Immortal Lan Yu, was nearing the end of his life span, so he solicited all life-extending treasures from all cultivators in the world.

At the same time, he provided a list of the life-extending treasures he had already consumed.

And claimed that anyone who could provide effective treasures could choose from his precious collections.

As the ruler of Dao Origin State for thousands of years, Immortal Lan Yu’s collection was extremely lavish. It was even more generous than the rewards offered by the Immortal Alliance to encourage cultivators to explore the White Mist.

So the whole world was astonished.

Many cultivators hastily returned from the White Mist to start scrambling for life-extending treasures.

Li Fan stared at this piece of news, slightly stunned.

“Has Lan Yu given up on a desperate struggle, a reversal of life and death?”

“It seems that the news of an Immortal Sovereign proving the Tao has been leaked. Is it a leak from within the Immortal Alliance, or…”

“The Five Elders Organization?”

While Li Fan was stunned, Huang Fusong was carefully studying the message released by Lan Yu, shaking his head and sighing.

“Immortal Lan Yu has ruled a state for thousands of years, what kind of life extending treasures hasn’t he consumed? This list can almost be considered a [Comprehensive Atlas of Life-Extending Treasures in the Mystic Yellow Realm]. To win a reward from him…”

“Anyway, I definitely don’t have that kind of luck.” He said somewhat self-deprecatingly.

“Mother, so many things, even I haven’t heard of them. He has consumed them all.” Dong Fangyao smacked his lips, “As I see it, those who are destined to die will die inevitably. Why struggle in misery? It is more comfortable to simply find release.”

Li Fan listened to his companions’ complaints and suddenly had an epiphany.

“The well-prepared plan was suddenly disrupted. What Lan Yu needs most now is time, and his reward offering to the whole world is an act of desperation.”

“What will he do next?”

In fact, at this point, Lan Yu barely had any room for choice anymore.

One option is to change his initial desire to challenge the principle, and try to secure a slim chance for proving the Tao and achieving longevity.

But obviously, to master the conditions to challenge the principle, it’s not something that can be achieved overnight. In such a short period of time, it is almost impossible to achieve this. Otherwise, Lan Yu wouldn’t have had to put together the Great Array and take the desperate gamble just before his imminent death.

The only choice left is what Lan Yu is currently opting for.

“Challenging the principle of life and death again, to compete with that unknown Immortal Sovereign!” Li Fan suddenly understood.

“Although it is extremely difficult, Lan Yu is after all more familiar with the principle of life and death. Compared to changing the principles he wishes to challenge, the chances of success are actually higher.”

“In this, the Five Elders Organization may even be supportive.”

Li Fan’s thoughts raced.

“Interesting, let’s see how the Immortal Alliance chooses next.”

“Will they support the unknown Immortal Sovereign, or support Lan Yu?”
