My longevity simulation

At first there was only confusion. Then all the memories of her previous life rapidly surfaced in her mind.

An overwhelming resentment surged forth.

“Sun family!”

“And that damned bastard!”

“Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill…”

No other content could remain in her mind. Only the intent for revenge.

“Do you wish to take revenge on them?”

At that moment a voice suddenly sounded beside Wu Ninglu’s ear.

“Who?”

Wu Ninglu instantly snapped awake. She glared around with extreme venom.

Wu Ninglu was surrounded only by darkness. She could not locate the source of the voice.

Yet that voice kept laughing strangely, constantly provoking her.

“Get out here!” Wu Ninglu roared madly.

The other party ignored her. Instead, one scene after another lit up the blackness.

Wu Ninglu looked over, and the resentment in her heart surged even higher.

It was the grand scene of the Sun family’s Qilin child, Sun Tianci, who had been born already at the Dao Integration realm. The news shook the world, and every major family in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance had sent representatives to offer congratulations.

Among them was even her own family, the Chen family of the Medicine Hall! Despite having already fallen out with the Sun family, they still dispatched envoys to extend their felicitations. After all, one does not strike a smiling face. On account of the newborn Sun Tianci, they openly accepted the congratulatory gifts.

As for Wu Ninglu herself, the inexplicably missing birth mother of Sun Tianci, no one cared at all.

…

“All this glory and praise should have belonged to me!”

The stark contrast in circumstances between mother and son drove Wu Ninglu in the darkness to grow even more deranged.

She wailed and screamed like a ghost howling and a wolf wailing.

At that moment, the voice finally spoke again.

“You…”

“Do you want to take revenge on them?”

Instinct urged Wu Ninglu to curse loudly, but the little reason she still possessed slowly calmed her down.

She answered without hesitation: “I want to! Senior, save me!”

“Hahahaha!”

Mad laughter rang out from the darkness: “Your body and divine soul have already vanished from this world, leaving only a few remnants of divine sense. Even if you could be reborn, what makes you think you could oppose the Sun family’s five Dao Integration cultivators?”

Wu Ninglu’s mind went blank upon hearing this.

Indeed. Not to mention her current state. Even if she successfully devoured the Spirit of Heaven and Earth and reached Dao Integration, how could one person contend with the Sun family, this rising new power?

Wu Ninglu felt utter despair, but suddenly she realized that this senior who had rescued her right in front of three Dao Integration cultivators would not simply toy with her for amusement.

The reason he spoke this way…

Wu Ninglu instantly understood.

“I beg Senior to teach me! Whether it succeeds or fails, Ninglu is willing to toil like an ox or horse, to serve as slave or maid, and attend to Senior day and night!”

Wu Ninglu gritted her teeth as she spoke.

“Hmph. You are merely a wisp of lingering divine sense struggling to survive. Do I need your consent to control you?”

A powerful oppressive force enveloped Wu Ninglu. In the terrifying suffocation, she felt her fragile will could shatter completely at any moment.

Her thoughts grew weaker and weaker. Wu Ninglu’s heart filled with despair.

Just then, the crushing pressure around her suddenly vanished for no apparent reason.

“Good thing you are not completely stupid.”

The voice sounded like heavenly music as it rang beside her ear once more.

At the same time, an extremely profound text appeared in her mind.

The Three Disasters and Hundred Tribulations Divine Clarity Method.

One Thought gives birth to Ten Thousand Ghosts. This was a supreme divine art capable of bridging the gap in numbers between cultivators.

Wu Ninglu read every word with ravenous hunger.

“Sun family… Sun family…”

Supported by the terrifying obsession of revenge that burned in her mind, the first thought demon god, radiating murderous aura, slowly took form.

Hidden in the darkness, Li Fan’s clone watched the entire process and nodded slightly.

Although the Sun family’s sage had been cultivated by him personally, that did not stop him from creating a natural nemesis for them.

As for when, or even whether, this future peerless demonic god driven solely by vengeance would be released, that remained unknown.

It was merely one of the contingency plans he had casually left behind.

“All preparations in this life are now complete. Next, we simply wait quietly for the good show to begin.”

“Judging by the Holy Emperor’s temperament and the current balance of power between both sides, their first clash will not be long in coming.”

…

Three months later, the first clash between the Holy Dynasty and the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance unfolded in a way no one had anticipated.

The conflict arose because of a sword light that came from beyond the heavens.

That day, golden light shone like a rainbow, illuminating the vault of heaven.

Beyond the Star Sea, beneath the High Wall, lies the Xuan Shang Immortal Ark, which can float across calamities.

Within the seven-colored rainbow light visible across the entire Xuanhuang Realm, sixteen characters glowed brilliantly.

It seemed to be a peculiar method of transmitting information. Even when people from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance tried to erase it, they achieved no effect.

They could only let the rainbow light drift quietly in the sky for seven days before it slowly faded.

Yet the shock caused by these sixteen characters was far from subsiding.

Instead, it grew increasingly intense.

In the Chizha Abyss, at Broken Palm Immortal City.

Shang Shaoyun recalled the sixteen characters and stared blankly into space.

“I knew he was not dead. Beyond the Star Sea, beneath the High Wall…”

“Has he already gone so far?”

The carefree and unrestrained bearing of Holy Embryo Li Fan appeared once more in Shang Shaoyun’s mind, stirring faint nostalgia and a touch of melancholy in his heart.

“Outside the Xuanhuang Realm.”

“If I had cast aside everything back then and gone with him, what would things be like now?”

After staring blankly for a long while, Shang Shaoyun finally came to his senses and began attending to proper business.

He started sending messages to Diyi Jinglun, Ji Hongdao, and the others.

“Have you seen the rainbow light in the sky these past few days? That is precisely the white-robed sword immortal I told you about earlier. You used to say I exaggerated. What do you think now?”

After satisfactorily showing off, Shang Shaoyun checked the quantity of Voidbright Flow Crystals in his private treasury.

Although the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance had long classified it as a prohibited item, the major families within the alliance had secretly hoarded varying amounts.

They had almost forgotten about it before, but with the appearance of the seven-day rainbow light, Voidbright Flow Crystals had returned to public view.

The world did not know exactly how Holy Embryo Li Fan had left the Xuanhuang Realm.

Thus, by instinct, they guessed that the method used was the same as that employed by the sixteen Dao Integration cultivators who had previously departed from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

The sixteen Dao Integration cultivators had gone deep into the Star Sea for unknown reasons, but the rainbow light made the information clear.

Beyond the Star Sea, at a place called the High Wall, there stands the Xuan Shang Immortal Ark.

This Xuan Shang Immortal Ark possesses a supreme technique that allows it to float across countless calamities!

These mere sixteen characters caused countless cultivators’ hearts to tremble with wild imagination.

The brilliance of Holy Embryo Li Fan’s message lay in its deliberate vagueness.

It fully mobilized the subjective initiative of Xuanhuang cultivators, making the Xuan Shang Immortal Ark in their fantasies even more mysterious.

Some cultivators even searched ancient texts and found records of the Xuan Shang Immortal Ark from antiquity.

“It can travel freely between realms for trade. So many years have passed, so it must be far more advanced than our calamity-ridden Xuanhuang Realm!”

“Just hearing the name Xuan Shang Immortal Ark fills one with longing.”

“Do you think the rainbow light earlier was…”

“Fellow Daoist, speak carefully!”

Regardless of the truth, Voidbright Flow Crystals had once again become the hottest commodity in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

Although the alliance reissued its prohibition, it could not stop the major families from secretly collecting the crystals.

After all, far too many cultivators were doing so this time.

It had truly reached the point where the law could not punish the masses. Thus, they could only make examples of low-level, rootless cultivators to exert some deterrence.

In fact, even the alliance’s upper echelons held differing opinions.

Sun family.

Sun Luyuan returned to the Boundless Mirror secret chamber, filled with worry.

“Brother, are you troubled by the recent uproar over the rainbow light message?” the Boundless Mirror spirit Sun Luyao asked.

“Sigh, it is not only that. The key issue is that this matter involves too much. Mirror Holder Fu, who had been punished by the Immortal Ancestor and confined in closed-door cultivation, emerged early because of it. He even specifically inquired about Tianci. That old thing…” Sun Luyuan said with hatred.

“His meaning was that although Dharma-Transmitter Jiang is suppressing the matter this time, the commotion is simply too great. Every cultivator in the entire Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance now wants to know what lies outside the Xuanhuang Realm and beyond the Star Sea. Without an explanation, it may destabilize the alliance’s foundation. Yet the Immortal Ancestor has lost contact since his last message.”

“To stabilize the situation, the alliance plans to soon announce to the world that they will recreate the Voidbright rainbow light and fly out of the Xuanhuang Realm.”

“Piloting the rainbow light requires Dao Integration realm cultivators. Our Sun family has become far too prominent lately. A single family with five Dao Integration cultivators is known to everyone in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. I fear that if they truly seek suitable cultivators to journey into the stars, our Sun family will not be able to escape involvement.”

“Truly, fortune and misfortune are unpredictable. If I had known, we should not have publicized Tianci being born at Dao Integration so widely. We miscalculated and let success go to our heads.” Sun Luyuan sighed.

Upon hearing this, the Boundless Mirror spirit Sun Luyao also frowned, finding the situation difficult.

“From the scattered clues I previously gathered inside the Tianxuan Mirror, the region beyond the stars is likely fraught with danger. Even with the precedent of the Voidbright rainbow light, this journey is still one of uncertain life and death. If our Sun family’s Dao Integration cultivators are truly assigned to go, we must prepare for sacrifice.” After a long while, he spoke gravely.

“We brothers have already discussed it. This matter can hardly be avoided. If the decree truly comes down, let Luchang go. What we fear…”

Sun Luyuan paused, then his voice dropped heavily: “What I fear is that more than one from our Sun family will be assigned.”

The underground secret chamber fell quiet for a moment.

“Brother, I actually have a clever plan.”

At that moment, Sun Luyao suddenly suggested.

“Hmm?”

Sun Luyuan listened attentively, his eyes brightening.

Not long afterward, rumors began circulating in various places throughout the alliance.

The upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance had approved the plan to recreate Voidbright Flow Crystals. This time, the number of cultivators who could leave the Xuanhuang Realm and enter the stars might be even greater than before.

However, the specific quotas had likely already been divided among the upper levels and decided internally. Some powerful families might even receive more than one spot.

Such explosive news spread like wildfire.

Upon hearing it, cultivators were filled with righteous indignation and fury.

The opportunities and fortunes beyond the stars were enormous!

And they were simply being divided up just like that?

It showed no consideration at all for the feelings of the grassroots Dao Integration cultivators who had labored to suppress the various prefectures.

Although the alliance quickly issued a denial, as long as the list remained undecided, the turmoil was bound to continue.

Even many Dao Integration cultivators who guarded the various prefectures and had not returned to alliance headquarters for years made an unprecedented return, all for one answer.

As for the alliance’s repeated emphasis that venturing into the Star Sea carried fatal danger and that the chance of safely returning was almost negligible, the enraged cultivators dismissed it all as an excuse.

They had their own rebuttals.

As the saying goes, one may hear the Dao in the morning and die content in the evening. What is there to fear from mere danger?

Who among those who reached Dao Integration had not walked a path of hardships?

Trapped in the Xuanhuang Realm for a lifetime, dying in the Star Sea would leave no regrets.

The Dao Integration guardians of the various prefectures were the cornerstone of the alliance’s rule.

Now that these people had united, even the Dharma-Transmitters felt some headache.

After serious discussion, they finally gave a response.

The alliance would carefully consider the personnel list and strive to make it fair, just, and convincing to the world.

With the Dharma-Transmitters personally guaranteeing it, the group of guarding Dao Integration cultivators finally left alliance headquarters.

At the same time, this confirmed the earlier rumor that the alliance would recreate the Voidbright rainbow light.

For a time, alliance cultivators privately discussed the matter fervently.

With a first time, there would be a second. The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s exploration of the stars would certainly not end here.

Although they had not yet reached Dao Integration, who could say what the future held?

And even if they had no hope of reaching Dao Integration in this life, they could at least obtain some Voidbright Flow Crystals, right?

If they could not eat the meat, could they not at least drink the soup?

In the underground market, the price of Voidbright Flow Crystals skyrocketed once more. As soon as any appeared, no matter how high the price, they were immediately snapped up.

Some clever individuals had already begun traveling to various secret realms and small worlds, digging three feet into the ground in search of traces of these crystals.

Holy Dynasty of Great Qi.

Inside the Holy Emperor’s hall, Li Ping’s disciples were assembled.

They were all aware of the unrest in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

Yet all matters in the Holy Dynasty were decided by a single word from the Holy Emperor.

Since Li Ping had not spoken, they could only pretend the matter had never occurred.

“Master, about those Voidbright Flow Crystals, should we get involved?”

“Breaking out of the Xuanhuang Realm to explore the unknown Star Sea just thinking about it is exciting.” As always, Ou Shangtian was the boldest and asked with a smile.

“Since the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance wishes to court death, let them do so. The more of their Dao Integration cultivators that leave, the better it is for us.” With one calm sentence from the Holy Emperor, the direction of the matter was decided.

Ou Shangtian showed a trace of regret.

The others, however, pondered the meaning behind the Holy Emperor’s words.

“From now on, you must remain strictly vigilant and be ready for battle at any time.”

The Holy Emperor’s next words made their spirits rise.

Sun Erlang nodded: “Those Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance cultivators are now acting like madmen, searching everywhere in the various small worlds for those Voidbright Flow Crystals. Our Holy Dynasty is fine since they will certainly not encounter us. The main concern is the many affiliated small worlds we have already conquered…”

Li Ping said: “Do not initiate direct conflict for the time being, but there is no need to deliberately avoid it either.”

“When you act, be decisive and do not leak any information related to the Holy Dynasty.”

The Holy Emperor’s words made the disciples eager to try.

“Sun Erlang.”

“This disciple is here.”

“Yi Shu has stayed with us long enough. You will go with him and return once more to the Taiyan Sect.” The Holy Emperor said calmly.

“This disciple obeys.” Sun Erlang bowed deeply.
