My longevity simulation

Faced with Daoist Hundred Flowers’ questioning, Sun Luyuan found himself unable to answer.

Dark golden glazed light swirled around him. The power that surpassed Dao Integration made Sun Luyuan’s spiritual sense scream warnings frantically, yet he dared not make the slightest movement.

“Junior… this junior…”

Before Daoist Hundred Flowers’ killing intent that felt almost tangible, Sun Luyuan, who was usually eloquent, could not even utter a complete sentence.

Indeed, for cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the term Longevity Immortal Realm felt far too distant.

“Hmph, just as little Tian said. Sneaky and clearly up to no good.” A cold gleam flashed in Daoist Hundred Flowers’ eyes.

The dark golden light surrounding Sun Luyuan came alive and began to erode him.

“Rest assured. With my strength, even if Great Qi is a dragon’s lair or tiger’s den, I can still retreat unscathed.”

For some reason, Sun Luyuan suddenly recalled the bold words he had spoken to his younger brother before leaving.

He could not help feeling an overwhelming sense of absurdity.

“Could it be that I am really going to die here?”

Just as Sun Luyuan despaired and waited for death, a voice like heavenly music rang out and stopped Daoist Hundred Flowers’ actions.

“Bring him before me.”

Though the tone was calm, it carried boundless authority.

The wicked-looking youth’s expression changed upon hearing the voice. The playful look on his face vanished instantly, and he respectfully saluted from afar.

Daoist Hundred Flowers also moved at the sound.

The originally aggressive glazed light transformed into several ropes that firmly bound Sun Luyuan.

Following the two, Sun Luyuan was led into the tallest spire palace in the Great Qi small world.

Inside the grand hall, it was empty and solemn.

A figure sat upright at the top.

Enveloped in mysterious light, Sun Luyuan found it difficult to see the person’s face clearly.

“Kneel!”

The wicked-looking youth said coldly.

Sun Luyuan was a Dao Integration cultivator who held an important position in the Guardian Hall. Apart from existences like the Dharma-Transmitters and Mirror Holders, he already stood at the peak of power in the Immortal Alliance.

Yet before the ruler of this small world, he showed no hesitation and knelt decisively.

Even a Longevity Immortal Realm cultivator could be commanded here. What was a mere Dao Integration like him?

“Greetings… Holy Emperor.”

Prompted by the wicked-looking youth, Sun Luyuan spoke with a trembling voice.

“Sun Luyuan.” The Holy Emperor spoke his name directly.

Then, in just a few words, the Holy Emperor revealed almost all of Sun Luyuan’s background.

This left Sun Luyuan feeling ice-cold all over and shivering uncontrollably.

But the Holy Emperor’s next sentence swept away the chill in his heart and filled him with great joy: “I already know your purpose in coming. The Holy Dynasty does not oppose those from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance who wish to pledge allegiance.”

“Fewer killings are always better.”

The Holy Emperor’s voice, filled with immense authority, echoed throughout the palace.

“As the first person to defect to the Holy Dynasty, you indeed deserve some reward.”

A cold, clear gleam appeared beside the Holy Emperor and flew toward Sun Luyuan in an instant.

It stopped steadily in front of him.

“Hiss…”

An intense chill swept over him, causing a layer of frost to form on Sun Luyuan’s face.

Only by rapidly circulating his spiritual energy did he manage to dispel the icy aura.

Sun Luyuan looked closely and saw that what had stopped before him was a pale blue sword.

“This is the Icebound Myriad Years Sword. When its internal cold energy is activated, it can instantly freeze an entire prefecture of the Xuanhuang Realm. Although you possess the realm, your combat strength is truly too weak. Escaping is fine, but if you truly fight with your life on the line, I am afraid you cannot even defeat a few of my disciples.” The Holy Emperor commented.

Sun Luyuan did not dare to refute. He could only nod repeatedly in agreement.

“This sword is given to you for self-protection.”

Only after the Holy Emperor spoke these words did Sun Luyuan, under the somewhat unfriendly gaze of the wicked-looking youth, feel as if he were in a dream. He refined and stored away the Icebound Myriad Years Sword.

“Thank you for your grace, Holy Emperor.” Sun Luyuan was overjoyed.

“Since you have joined my Holy Dynasty, you must not be half-hearted from now on. Tian’er, he is now in your hands.”

The wicked-looking youth bowed and said: “Disciple understands.”

“You may both leave.” The Holy Emperor gave the order to dismiss them in a calm tone.

Daoist Hundred Flowers turned into a streak of escaping light and flew away first.

Sun Luyuan followed behind Ou Shangtian and left slowly.

“You, come with me.” Ou Shangtian glanced at Sun Luyuan and snorted coldly.

“May I know how I should address you?” Sun Luyuan, having received benefits, did not mind the other party’s attitude and asked with a thick-skinned smile.

“Just call me General Ou.”

Ou Shangtian said little else. He first brought Sun Luyuan into the Holy Capital of the Holy Dynasty, to the Holy Heart Hall.

The hall was only slightly lower than the Holy Emperor’s throne. Inside, over ten thousand people had gathered.

There were both the old and the young. All of them had devout expressions as they prayed toward a statue in the center of the hall.

The statue’s specific features could not be seen clearly, but its figure was identical to the Holy Emperor Sun Luyuan had just met.

The citizens of the Holy Dynasty praying here all possessed cultivation.

However, Sun Luyuan’s Dao Integration aura, which he had not yet deliberately concealed, had no effect on these people at all.

They all gazed firmly at the Holy Emperor’s statue, fully immersed in their devotion.

Their minds seemed connected into a large net. Mere Dao Integration power could not shake it in the slightest.

Ou Shangtian led Sun Luyuan forward and arrived at a secret chamber inside the Holy Heart Hall.

Inside the room, dozens of the Holy Emperor’s believers were kneeling.

All of them had reached the Golden Core realm, and their faith in the Holy Emperor was even firmer than that of those outside.

In the secret chamber, the Faceless Statue of the Holy Emperor still stood.

“You should also make your vow and pray.” After transmitting a segment of the oath, Ou Shangtian instructed.

Sun Luyuan naturally would not refuse.

He imitated the believers, knelt before the Holy Emperor’s statue, and chanted the words.

As Sun Luyuan did this, it seemed as if the majestic and sacred figure of the Holy Emperor truly appeared before his eyes.

What made him even more alarmed was that an invisible force emerged from the void.

It slowly attached itself to him, linking him with the Holy Emperor.

Sun Luyuan had the feeling that he was now like a flying insect that had accidentally fallen into a spider’s web. Although he did not struggle, he was sinking deeper and deeper.

“What kind of method is this?”

Sun Luyuan was horrified in his heart. Even Mirror Holders needed secret techniques to control their subordinates.

To achieve such deep control with just a few simple words…

It was simply unheard of!

But Sun Luyuan also knew he could no longer turn back.

After he finished reciting the oath, Ou Shangtian’s attitude improved noticeably.

He tilted his head slightly, as if listening to something.

Then he said to Sun Luyuan: “There is a restriction left by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance in your body. If you rashly remove it, it may alert the other side. Let it remain for now.”

“But rest assured. With Master’s power protecting you, this restriction cannot harm you.”

Ou Shangtian’s words put Sun Luyuan much more at ease.

“Since you have already joined our Holy Dynasty, you cannot only take benefits without doing anything. Here is a list…”
