My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 762: Chapter 725: Punishing the Mysterious Mirror Source

The “Mystical Skill of Life and Death” that Zhong Shentong practiced was a peculiar technique that took advantage of the huge terror between life and death for cultivation.

According to Zhong Shentong himself, he suffered from a severe case of “procrastination”.

Even at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could only make a breakthrough when his lifespan was about to end, and he was under the immense pressure of impending death.

That was before.

In this life, due to the reversal of the Principle of Life and Death by the Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign and the establishment of Transcendence Mansion, everyone can be resurrected. Therefore, the pressure brought about by death naturally no longer exists.

After all, there is still a chance to be a valiant man 18 years later, so what is death?

If worst comes to worst, one can simply give it another shot in the next life. So why exert so much effort?

Under such a carefree attitude, it was normal that Zhong Shentong was unable to achieve a breakthrough in his realm.

At this thought, Li Fan’s face twitched.

“It seems that the ‘Mystical Skill of Life and Death’ has become useless in this lifetime. But I wonder how Zhong Shentong came to comprehend the Seven-color Divine Light.”

With this thought in mind, he waved his hand and said to Liu San, “Forget it, if one dies, one dies. Pretend I didn’t bring this up.”

Liu San looked at him with a peculiar expression but didn’t question further.

Instead, it was Fang Zaiji who praised, “The Sovereign really has a broad mind, viewing life and death lightly.”

Li Fan ignored him and continued to order, “Elder Liu, the refinement of the Elixir of Immortality can be postponed for now. Let’s sell off all the stocks we have in our hands first.”

Liu San was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, “Is the era of cultivators exploring the White Mist about to end?”

Li Fan nodded, “It has been almost three years since the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals officially issued the proclamation. Plus, with the existence of Transcendence Mansion now, the cultivators are fearless of death. I estimate that it won’t be long before the exploration is completely finished. We should prepare early.”

He then turned to the always emotionless Jiang Yushan, “Elder Jiang has always wanted to go out and look around, hasn’t she? I have found a way to disguise your real realm and forge the identity of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

With that, Li Fan took out the [Stone Plate of the Apocalypse].

“This object can influence and block the perception of the Fairy League Treasure Tianxuan Mirror,” Li Fan declared solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zaiji’s eyes immediately lit up.

He quickly flew closer, staring intently at the small stone disc in Li Fan’s hand.

After a moment, he touched the back of his head, and looked at Li Fan, “Sovereign… how do you use this?”

Li Fan shrugged, “I don’t know either. You’ll have to figure it out yourselves.”

Fang Zaiji looked at Li Fan dubiously, “Sovereign, you wouldn’t be finding an excuse not to let Little Jiang go out, would you?”

Jiang Yushan’s gaze swept over Fang Zaiji, her eyes revealing a murderous aura.

Li Fan simply smiled, “Hehe, I didn’t expect Mr. Fang to make a mistake. Although this stone disc looks unremarkable, it is actually a by-product of the Tianxuan Mirror.”

“Well, I can’t blame you. Although Mr. Fang, you claim to be experienced and knowledgeable, after all these years in the Xuanhuang World, it’s normal to be a little out of touch with the times…”

Fang Zaiji’s eyes widened, “A by-product of Tianxuan Mirror?”

He snatched the Apocalypse Stone Disc, and started examining it like a precious treasure. At the same time, he kept muttering to himself, “This is a good thing…”

Li Fan let Fang Zaiji take the Stone Disc without any objection. Thinking of the Calamity Dispelling Stone Disc used by the Overturning Heaven Society in his previous life, Li Fan reminded, “This thing may not have any special characteristics in itself, but if a small part of it is cut off, it might produce some unexpected changes.”

Fang Zaiji nodded, though it wasn’t clear if he had taken everything in. He was as if in a trance, staring intently at the Apocalypse Stone Disc.

“Once Mr. Fang’s research has yielded results, Elder Liu and you would be free to move about openly in the future,” Li Fan said to Jiang Yushan with a smile.

“Great, I’ll definitely keep an eye on Lao Fang!” Liu San was overjoyed.

Jiang Yushan looked at the Apocalypse Stone Disc with some hesitation, “What is this Tianxuan Mirror, does it have anything to do with the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror of the Mystic Sky Sect?”

Seeing the puzzled look from Li Fan, Jiang Yushan explained, “The Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror was the treasure of the ancient Xuan Tian Sect. After the Immortal Dao Ten Clans destroyed the Mystic Sky Sect, the whereabouts of this item have been unknown. The Ten Clans once captured many remnants of the Mystic Sky Sect for torture and interrogation, but they never found any results. I only heard about it when I was a prison soldier in the Undefined Prison.”

Upon hearing this, Liu San was terrified, “Xuan Tian, Tian Xuan, could they be so similar? Could it be possible that the Celestial Dharma Bearer who founded the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and destroyed the Ancient Xian Realm, was from the Xuan Tian Sect?”

Li Fan shook his head, “I don’t know about this. However, now that Elder Jiang mentioned it, we can look into it in the future.”

Liu San promptly warned, “If our guess is correct, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals will definitely strictly seal off any information related to the Xuan Tian Sect. If Young Master you inquire rashly, you may arouse suspicion.”

“Nevertheless, even if the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is the successor of the Xuan Tian Sect, so what? Back then, the Immortal Dao Ten Clans sat back and watched as we broke out of the Xuanhuang World and faced death…”

“Speaking of which, we should thank the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals for avenging us.” Liu San sneered.

Jiang Yushan frowned slightly. She was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Fan, “However, I do know a method that can be used to test whether the Tianxuan Mirror is a relic of the Xuan Tian Sect.”

“Back in the day, the Immortal Dao Ten Clans created a secret technique called [Zhu Xuan] in order to hunt down the remnants of Xuan Tian Sect. After the secret technique is activated, if there is anything related to the Xuan Tian Sect within the nearby range, one will sense it in their heart.”

“However, the range of this sensation is extremely small, almost only detectable when it is within arm’s reach, so it is not very practical. But I heard that the Tianxuan Mirror exists in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals now, perhaps we can try it out.”

Li Fan was momentarily moved and then nodded thoughtfully, “Okay, I hope Elder Jiang can teach me then!”

The secret technique was not complicated, and in the blink of an eye, Li Fan had learned it.

He immediately activated it, and at the same time moved closer to the Apocalypse Stone Disc.

There was no reaction at all.

“Could it be just a similarity in names?” Liu San was somewhat surprised.

However, Li Fan suddenly had an idea and concentrated his thoughts on his alter ego, Xu Bai.

At this moment, Xu Bai was in the Governance Hall, chatting with his newly arrived colleagues from the Rebirth Hall.

The Rebirth Hall is the organization established by Transcendence Mansion in each state, responsible for all matters related to “reincarnation and resurrection,” similar to the Array Strategy Hall and Martial Arts Battle Hall.

Without drawing any attention, Xu Bai excused himself from the others and came to the Tianxuan Mirror in the city, silently activating the [Zhu Xuan] secret technique.

“Ding! Ding! Ding!”

The rapid and piercing sound suddenly rang in Xu Bai’s ears.

In Xu Bai’s vision, the seemingly ancient mirror was now emitting a conspicuous bloody red light.

“As expected! The Tianxuan Mirror is indeed the Mystic Sky Sect’s treasure, the Mystic Sky Treasure Mirror!”

Xu Bai’s heart shook and in an instant, he had already withdrawn the secret technique.

The vision disappeared, and Xu Bai walked into the Tianxuan Mirror with a calm demeanor.
