My longevity simulation

“Shaojun, is this Diyi Jinglun originally from the [Era]?”

On the way to Tianshu Prefecture of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, Holy Embryo Li Fan asked the question he had suspected for a long time.

Shang Shaojun paused for a moment. He seemed unsurprised that Li Fan knew about the Immortal Alliance’s confidential matters regarding the [Era].

He replied in a low voice: “Yes and no.”

“As far as I know, the Immortal Alliance did use the [Era] to cultivate a batch of death warriors. However, those people were ultimately not born and raised in the Xuanhuang Realm, so they lack a trace of spirituality.”

“Although they displayed astonishing talent during the Era simulation, once they actually arrived in the Xuanhuang Realm, their actual performance fell far short. They are quite suitable as fearless cannon fodder, but difficult to entrust with important responsibilities.” Shang Shaojun shook his head slightly.

“However, the Immortal Alliance later found a way to improve this. Brother Li, do you know that every Dharma-Transmitter has their own exclusive small world?”

Holy Embryo Li Fan replied: “I have heard about it.”

“Each Dharma-Transmitter contributes a portion of their subordinate small worlds to jointly form a [Primordial Great Realm]. It is said to be a truly cruel and chaotic world. Every hundred years, a complete purge of the living beings inside is conducted. Only those who receive collective praise from the Dharma-Transmitters during that century can survive.”

“Brother Li, you must understand that the living beings in the [Primordial Great Realm] are either carefully selected consciousness souls from the [Era] or peerless geniuses from each Dharma-Transmitter’s world. To stand out in such an environment, their abilities can be imagined.”

Shang Shaojun spoke with a grave tone: “This is the origin of Diyi Jinglun.”

“From the Era to the [Primordial Great Realm]. Diyi Jinglun stepped forward step by step, and finally gained the favor of the various Dharma-Transmitters. They used a supreme treasure left behind by the Immortal Ancestor to reconstruct his body. Moreover, because he was deeply trusted, he was exceptionally allowed to keep his previous memories and experiences without erasure. Even though he currently holds no specific position in the Immortal Alliance, no one dares to underestimate him.”

“If that is the case, this Diyi Jinglun truly has quite a legendary background.” Holy Embryo Li Fan sighed with emotion after hearing Shang Shaojun’s introduction.

However, he then showed some doubt: “A person like this, if we just go straight to his door like this, aren’t you afraid he will directly capture us and send us to the Dharma-Transmitters?”

Shang Shaojun laughed loudly: “Brother Li worries too much. Not to mention that I once adventured together with Diyi Jinglun and we have a decent relationship. The reason Diyi Jinglun is so deeply trusted by the Dharma-Transmitters is precisely because, from the moment he was created, his soul has been permanently branded with absolute loyalty to the Immortal Alliance. The more experiences he gains and the stronger he becomes, the deeper this brand becomes.”

“This is something he said himself. He does not mind it at all. Instead, he views it as a great honor. Everything we do is also for the sake of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, is it not? If he learns that there are many conspiracies hidden within the Immortal Alliance, he definitely will not choose to ignore it. With his personality, he might even personally come to verify what we say.” Shang Shaojun looked very confident.

However, things did not go as smoothly as they expected.

“What? Diyi Jinglun is not here?”

“We clearly made an appointment beforehand!”

Outside the Jinglun Residence, Shang Shaojun and Li Fan were stopped.

Shang Shaojun’s expression turned ugly. Waves of pressure from a Dao Integration cultivator surged forth.

Although the two guards at the door turned somewhat pale, they still managed to remain calm and explained: “Please forgive us, my lord. It is truly because our master suddenly received a secret order from the Immortal Alliance and left in great haste. The matter was urgent, so he did not even have time to inform anyone.”

Shang Shaojun tried using a communication talisman to contact Diyi Jinglun again. As expected, there was no response.

He exchanged a glance with Li Fan. Knowing that forcing the issue was pointless, he could only snort coldly and let it go.

“I don’t think Diyi Jinglun deliberately avoided us. He must have genuinely encountered something important.” Li Fan said quietly.

“Mm. I know his character well. He would not make excuses. It’s just that I don’t know what exactly happened in the Immortal Alliance. If Diyi Jinglun was urgently summoned, then this matter must be quite significant.” Shang Shaojun murmured.

With their first target falling through, the two planned to change course and go find Ji Hongdao in Tianyu Prefecture instead.

However, they had not expected that Ji Hongdao had also been transferred away by an official appointment.

The two looked at each other in dismay and temporarily suspended their plan to search for people.

“Something feels off. Let me ask around.” Shang Shaojun frowned tightly.

On Li Fan’s side, the clone hidden within the Boundless Mirror had already quietly taken action.

He stealthily stole a mini Tianxuan Mirror from the Sun family and activated the Boundless Mirror to spy on the information within.

As expected, the Tianxuan Mirror had long known about the unusual movements in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

However, this result left Li Fan somewhat surprised.

“The Immortal Ancestor Heavenly Sovereign has sent a message: the Xuanhuang Realm may experience some turbulence soon. The Immortal Alliance must prepare countermeasures in advance.”

“This…”

“Since the founding of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, these are among the very few times the Immortal Ancestor has proactively sent a message. The Dharma-Transmitters attach extreme importance to it…”

After disconnecting the Boundless Mirror’s spying and offering it some comfort, Li Fan fell into deep thought.

He was not certain whether the event of the [Immortal Ancestor Sends a Message] had occurred in previous reincarnations.

However, in all the lives Li Fan had experienced, any turbulence in the Xuanhuang Realm had absolutely never appeared.

“The Immortal Ancestor specially sent a message with instructions. This indicates that the impending turbulence will not be small in scale. If caught unprepared and with no readiness, it might cause widespread panic.”

“But the fact that only a message was sent and the main body did not return also indicates that this turbulence will not truly cause devastating damage to the Xuanhuang Realm…”

“The turbulence predicted by the Dharma-Transmitter should occur roughly one month from now. At that time, it will be known whether this is an event unique to this lifetime.”

…

On Shang Shaojun’s side, he had also gathered information.

Naturally it was not as detailed as what had been stolen from the Tianxuan Mirror, but it was largely the same.

“The entire Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, from top to bottom, has been mobilized. The relevant orders will likely reach the Eternal Immortal Fortress soon…”

“Brother Li, what do you think?”

Holy Embryo Li Fan pondered for a moment and said: “What we wish to accomplish cannot be done overnight. Since the entire Xuanhuang Realm may soon face a crisis, we should first prepare to deal with this matter.”

“The Qingxuan Army cannot be left leaderless, and the Chizha Abyss might experience new movements by then. It would be better for us to return to the Eternal Immortal Fortress first and quietly observe the changes.”

Li Fan’s suggestion received Shang Shaojun’s approval.

The two thus hurriedly ended this journey for the time being and returned once more to Broken Palm Immortal City.

Gazing at the quiet and deep Chizha Abyss not far away, the figure that had previously appeared at the bottom of the Chizha Abyss once again surfaced in Holy Embryo Li Fan’s mind.

“Perhaps the special nature of this life is related to my small actions?”

Li Fan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.
