My longevity simulation

Li Ping seemed to discern Daoist Hundred Flowers’s concerns and said gravely, “Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is indeed powerful, but in the Xuanhuang Realm, those dissatisfied with its rule number far more than just us.”

“Leaving aside the various hidden forces in the small worlds, the number of schemers within the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance itself is beyond counting.”

With a wave of his hand, Li Ping unfurled a vast network of interpersonal relationships before Daoist Hundred Flowers.

She focused her gaze and saw that the faces depicted were none other than members of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s various organizations!

Not only their names and appearances, but also their life histories, temperaments, the likelihood of being swayed, predictions of their future actions and developments—every detail was listed exhaustively and meticulously.

Among them, those specially marked out were the unstable elements within the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the ones most easily turned.

As she looked at these texts and images, in Daoist Hundred Flowers’s mind, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance ceased to be a mere hollow three-word phrase and instantly took on a vivid, lifelike form.

The more she examined, the more alarmed she became. “No wonder this man dares to boast so boldly and has the confidence to contend with the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. Gathering such detailed information must have taken an unknown amount of time. And it’s not just a matter of time; some of these secrets would be impossible to obtain without high-placed informants on the inside.”

Daoist Hundred Flowers did not believe that all this before her was fabricated nonsense. The information was far too detailed for forgery to be likely.

She wished to scrutinize it further, but Li Ping waved his hand again, and the light screen before her shifted once more.

This time, the data on the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance transformed into information on the various small worlds of the Xuanhuang Realm: those with formidable strength that could be allied with; those not particularly strong but rich in resources that could be conquered and turned into production bases; and even those extremely dangerous ones not recommended for contact…

A hidden panorama of the Xuanhuang Realm slowly unfolded before Daoist Hundred Flowers.

Amid her inner shock, a wave of helplessness also welled up. Having been forced to see so many secrets of this Holy Dynasty, she probably had no choice now but to join.

As for turning hostile and clashing directly with him…

Even though Daoist Hundred Flowers was a Longevity Immortal existence in her original world, at this moment, facing this Faceless Holy Emperor, she held no complete assurance of victory in her heart. Indeed, whenever the thought of opposing him arose, an instinctive premonition of utter doom would faintly surge within her.

Such a thing had never happened before. Not even when she had been captured by the Fishing Pond did she experience this level of crisis.

Thus, when Li Ping extended the invitation to join the Holy Dynasty with utmost calm, Daoist Hundred Flowers agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Li Ping burst into laughter. “Excellent, excellent, excellent. With Daoist Hundred Flowers’s assistance, our chances of success increase by another measure.”

“There is one matter at present that still requires your help.” Remarkably, right after her joining, Li Ping eagerly assigned her a task.

The map’s miniature projection suddenly shrank, ultimately focusing on a small world formed by five interlocking rings.

“This Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven is what I intend to set as the ultimate prize for this Fishing Competition. However, it is currently located within the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s Tianling Prefecture. At the border junction, it could easily draw the attention of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association. Therefore…”

Li Ping’s tone was quite sincere. “I must trouble you, Fellow Daoist, to relocate it to the nearby void surrounding our Great Qi.”

At first, Daoist Hundred Flowers assumed it was just an ordinary Cave-Heaven and paid it little mind. But when Li Ping transmitted the specific details of the Five Elements Great Cave-Heaven, her golden body of light swayed uncontrollably for an instant.

These five linked Cave-Heavens were simply enormous! With her strength, she could indeed certainly transport them over. But afterward, she would certainly be left in severe exhaustion.

Would he take advantage of her depleted state to harbor ill intentions?

At that moment, Li Ping smiled. “It is truly that I cannot free myself, hence the need to impose on you, Fellow Daoist.”

“If I truly wanted to deal with you, Fellow Daoist, I probably wouldn’t need any schemes or tricks at all…”

Li Ping’s tone showed no fluctuation, as if he were merely stating a simple fact.

With Li Ping’s words, several stone puppets appeared silently in the void, faintly surrounding Daoist Hundred Flowers in the center.

The puppets themselves were not particularly powerful, but the aura emanating from them made Hundred Flowers feel both familiar and terrified.

A flash of insight illuminated her mind, and she instantly recalled the source of this familiarity from her memories. It was unmistakably those horrific calamities from long ago that had rampaged and swept through, exterminating countless cultivation worlds!

“Have you gone mad?!” Daoist Hundred Flowers could not help but scream. Her body instinctively recoiled, rapidly distancing itself from these stone puppets.

“You are playing with fire! The power of world-destroying calamities is not something we can control. If we’re not careful, even the Xuanhuang Realm, our last refuge, will be destroyed by you!” Daoist Hundred Flowers trembled, both shocked and furious.

She never imagined that this so-called fellow wanderer was actually a complete madman. No wonder she had sensed an indescribable sense of crisis from him earlier…

In the face of Daoist Hundred Flowers’ accusations, Li Ping remained unconcerned.

He snorted and said coldly: “The world-destroying calamities have merely vanished temporarily. Who can guarantee they won’t reappear in the future? Even if we luckily escape the Immortal Ruins, what then if we encounter other disasters later?”

“Blindly fleeing will ultimately lead to inescapable doom. Only by proactively studying and mastering their power can we win true freedom!” Li Ping’s tone was resolute, even tinged with a hint of fanaticism.

He waved his hand again, and three incredibly complex yet brimming with sacred aura twisted symbols appeared beside him.

They rotated endlessly around Li Ping.

Containing no power within them, merely their pure depicted forms alone made the Longevity Immortal Realm’s Daoist Hundred Flowers tremble uncontrollably.

And Li Ping, the Faceless Holy Emperor encircled by these three profound symbols in the center, exuded an aura that was both holy and bewitchingly evil.

It was enough to make one avert their gaze.

“Heh heh heh, these three True Immortal Character Scripts were obtained by me through great hardship, gathered from the void. Would Fellow Daoist not care to observe them?” Li Ping’s voice boomed, echoing through this dark space.

Daoist Hundred Flowers noticed that the Daoist child Liuli showed signs of waking and hurriedly cast a spell to make her fall asleep again.

As for herself, she truly did not dare to look directly at those three True Immortal Characters!

Indeed, True Immortal Characters contained boundless might. But could that power transcending the mortal realm truly be controlled by cultivators like them who had not yet ascended the immortal path?

She had personally witnessed countless cultivators perishing into smoke under such power, without the slightest ability to resist. Among them were no lack of so-called Longevity Immortal Realm existences like herself.

In her view, studying True Immortal Character Script was akin to a child wielding a world-destroying weapon.

Any mishap would not only lead to her instant death and dissipation but would drag the entire world down with her!

She still had many good years left to live; why would she engage in such extreme behavior!
