My longevity simulation

It was not the imagination of the Xuanhuang cultivators.

The heavens had truly collapsed.

After a brief silence, a vast and mighty voice never before heard thundered across the world like an exploding bolt of lightning.

“Ahhh!”

It was as if their heads had been struck directly by a heavy club. Countless cultivators saw darkness before their eyes and nearly lost consciousness, almost fainting on the spot.

The buzzing in their ears did not fade even after a long while.

It was a tremor originating from the soul itself. Even sealing off the five senses was useless.

The cultivators who raised their heads to look at the sky all discovered, without exception, that the heavens seemed close enough to touch.

Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy throughout the world had just undergone an extremely obvious decline.

The Xuanhuang winds and rains had also weakened significantly, as part of the world’s power had been drawn away.

The overwhelming majority of cultivators in the world had no idea why such a terrifying phenomenon had occurred.

Only the few standing at the peak of the Xuanhuang Realm’s power understood what these phenomena truly represented.

In a peculiar space.

Five statues whose faces could not be seen stood in a circle.

The statues lowered their heads, gazing at the center.

There, a glowing cloud mass representing the current Xuanhuang floated silently.

The many changes that had occurred in the Xuanhuang Realm since the beginning of the war were all displayed in meticulous detail within the cloud mass.

At this moment, as heaven collapsed and earth sank, the Xuanhuang cloud mass also slowly wriggled, shrinking by nearly an entire circle.

“Tsk tsk tsk, they really paid an enormous price this time.”

A somewhat frivolous female voice suddenly rang out.

“And we are just going to watch? This is a once in a thousand years opportunity…”

One of the statues instantly came to life, revealing her original appearance. Her long hair flowed like silk, hanging smoothly to her waist.

A tight white robe wrapped around her voluptuous figure, yet for some reason exposed her fair thighs.

Her gaze was dreamy, slender fingers resting against her lips as she spoke to the other four statues.

“What else would we do? Help that mysterious Holy Emperor of unknown origins?” a cold voice came from the statue dressed in Daoist robes.

“I heard the Holy Emperor’s transmitted new Dao and gained some insight. The Holy Emperor may be considered my teacher. If possible, I truly would like to help. Unfortunately…”

The scholar-like statue also came to life, raising his head toward the skies beyond Xuanhuang and sighing softly.

“The struggle over Xuanhuang orthodoxy means little to us. Immortal Ancestor harbors wolfish ambitions, and this Holy Emperor of unknown background is likely no good either. The Xuanhuang Realm, and even this star sea, are not places to remain long term. Everyone, our future hope still lies with Carefree. Maintaining stability with the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and preserving the stability of the Xuanhuang Realm while waiting for the final result is what we should do. Involving ourselves in this conflict is truly unwise.”

One of the statues whose face had always remained obscured spoke in a deep voice.

“Besides… Immortal Ancestor cannot lose.”

That statue added.

The gazes of the four statues all focused on Carefree Heavenly Sovereign, who still seemed asleep.

Senior Sister Zhao said somewhat wistfully, “Sigh, I had wanted to use this opportunity to tease the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance people. After all, they are all fresh new faces. Much more exciting.”

The scholar, the Daoist, and the obscured statue all pretended not to hear.

“Binding oneself to heaven and earth truly has too many flaws. With the Xuanhuang Realm drawing out power to assist, I have become much weaker too.”

Senior Sister Zhao covered her lips and yawned lazily.

“I am going back to recover. Call me if anything happens.”

Before her words had even finished, Senior Sister Zhao’s statue once again became still.

The scholar statue chuckled softly.

“Still could not resist going to join the excitement.”

The Daoist statue said bluntly, “A thousand people, a thousand faces. Zhao Ruoxi has far more than ten thousand. Having some split personalities and being unable to control herself is normal. Let her go. It is not so easy for her to die even if she wants to.”

After Senior Sister Zhao left, the obscured statue suddenly came to life.

It was revealed to be a middle aged cultivator with a square face and a solemn expression.

“The Carefree Paradise, after so many years of development, has already spread to the edges of the star sea and begun infiltrating the High Wall.”

“Now is the most critical moment.”

“This sudden outbreak of slaughter, regardless of the final result, is beneficial to us. At the very least, there will be many casualties. Afterward, it will provide another enormous replenishment of Carefree-power. Perhaps Carefree can use this opportunity to break through the High Wall’s restraints in one stroke.”

The square faced cultivator said in a deep voice.

“After all, the High Wall’s suppression of a consciousness space like Carefree Paradise is far weaker than its suppression of physical force.”

As the square faced cultivator spoke, a strange atmosphere began flowing through the space.

And Carefree, who carried the hopes of the five Heavenly Sovereigns for escape, still remained peacefully asleep.

Only his occasionally twitching brows hinted at possible intense inner fluctuations.

After a brief silence, the Daoist statue spoke.

“Beyond the High Wall… is not necessarily peaceful. The fact that the group who escaped back then wanted to flee back again proves this. Unfortunately, the High Wall is difficult to cross. This is true both inside and outside.”

“Even if this plan ultimately succeeds, and we manage to escape beyond the High Wall using the dream power of Carefree Paradise, without the laws of the Xuanhuang Realm as our foundation, our strength will inevitably plummet. Dao Integration cultivation would likely make even taking a single step difficult beyond the High Wall.”

The square faced cultivator said again in a deep voice, “Even if there is danger, what is lost would only be the dream body. It would not damage the true self fundamentally. But if beyond the High Wall truly is a paradise, then we can cultivate using the dream body from then onward. Gradually transferring the true self’s power.”

“When the dream body fully condenses into reality, and its strength surpasses the true self, we can switch places and successfully escape like a cicada shedding its shell.”

The scholar statue nodded slightly as he listened.

“This truly is the most stable method we can think of at present. If Dharma Transmitting Heavenly Sovereign were not so terrifyingly powerful, and if he were not obsessively clinging to this little patch of the Xuanhuang Realm, we would not need to be so aggrieved.”

The Daoist statue said, “In that case, let us each add another spark. The denser the Carefree power, the better. So long as the Xuanhuang Realm itself is not endangered, no matter how many die, it makes no difference.”

…

Just as they were speaking, it seemed as if a great wind blew in from outside the Xuanhuang Realm.

The Xuanhuang light mass at the center of the five statues visibly shook slightly.

A trace of shock flashed through the eyes of the three Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns.

“That Immortal Ancestor is this overwhelmingly powerful, that can still be understood. After all, he has lived for so many years.”

“But this Holy Emperor who suddenly appeared is also this terrifying? Even with the Xuanhuang Realm assisting him, it should not be to this extent.”

The three Heavenly Sovereigns exchanged glances, uncertain and alarmed.

Meanwhile, Carefree Heavenly Sovereign slept even more soundly.

…

“Transform body into…”

“Xuanhuang Heaven!”

An overwhelmingly vast force suddenly surged into his body as the Holy Emperor roared.

Violet, gold, and Xuanhuang colors merged together.

The Holy Emperor’s figure vanished beneath Immortal Ancestor’s giant hand.

In its place was the scenery of endless Xuanhuang heaven and earth.

The Xuanhuang Realm, a single world.

Though it had stitched together and absorbed many other surviving cultivation worlds, its scale ultimately had limits.

Yet at this moment, the Xuanhuang heaven and earth being suppressed beneath Immortal Ancestor’s giant hand stretched infinitely, with no end in sight.

The sky was high, the earth vast, and the scenery between heaven and earth continuously changed.

Seas turned into mulberry fields, stars shifted, constellations revolved.

As time passed, the distance between heaven and earth slowly increased.

It was as if an invisible giant stood between the earth and the heavens.

Endlessly lifting the sky upward.

“Xuanhuang transforms, heaven and earth are boundless.”

“The Xuanhuang of antiquity, the Xuanhuang of the present, the Xuanhuang of the future.”

“Gather.”

The Holy Emperor’s voice echoed throughout the phantom image of the Xuanhuang Realm.

As heaven and earth expanded, it became increasingly resounding.

Past, present, future.

The Xuanhuang Realms across infinite spacetime merged into one at this moment.

Countless phantom images layered upon one another, as if they had been forcibly dragged out from the long river of time.

Forming an unprecedented eternal and vast spacetime.

The gigantic palm suppressing downward from Immortal Ancestor was held up by the endless heavenly canopy. It trembled violently, yet could advance no further.

The expansion of the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm had no end.

At a speed even faster than its earlier contraction, under the reverse pressure of immeasurable Xuanhuang radiance, Immortal Ancestor’s giant palm instantly shrank back to the size of a normal human hand.

The distortion of scale and space returned to normal.

Immortal Ancestor withdrew his hand and looked at the circular black scar in the center of his palm, as though it had been scorched by intense flames. A trace of gravity flashed in his eyes.

Even though light and shadow flowed across his body, with Dao perishing and Dao being reborn, the black scar could not be healed.

Opposite Immortal Ancestor, the phantom image of the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm illuminated this dark and silent star sea.

As if there had truly come into existence an eternal supreme immortal domain, existing in the past, present, and forever.

Immortal Ancestor’s gaze shifted away from the wound in his hand and moved toward the vast spectacle before him.

Mountains towered, fertile lands stretched for countless billions of miles. Strange spirits and wondrous landscapes were too numerous to count.

It resembled the legendary Immortal Realm.

Looking at the Xuanhuang Realm before him, Immortal Ancestor actually became slightly absent-minded.

A streak of starlight exploded in the sky of the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm.

Clad in a robe of starlight, wearing the Nine Heavens Jade Crown, stepping upon the long river of time.

The Holy Emperor slowly walked out from the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm.

As if stepping out from a painting into reality.

Illusion and reality twisted and intertwined at this moment, making truth and falsehood impossible to distinguish.

It even gave rise to an intensely contradictory sensation.

“This is…”

“The Law of Time?” Immortal Ancestor’s voice carried both astonishment and disbelief.

But after only a moment, he slightly shook his head, rejecting his earlier speculation.

The black scar on his hand had not improved with the passage of time.

On the contrary, it was becoming increasingly severe, even showing signs of spreading to other parts of his body.

For his Supreme body, this was simply unimaginable.

Immortal Ancestor could vaguely sense that what was continuously devouring his palm was not a force related to time.

But rather…

An established fact.

No matter how time passed, no matter how the star sea lived or perished.

This wound would never change.

The Holy Emperor who had stepped out from the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm gave Immortal Ancestor no chance to breathe.

“Glorious holy spirits, wear my robe, become my spears and halberds.”

As the Holy Emperor’s voice echoed, one phantom figure after another, likewise dressed in robes of starlight, walked out from the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm.

Their faces could not be seen, and even the techniques they used were entirely different from the Holy Emperor’s.

But without exception, all of them regarded Immortal Ancestor as their mortal enemy.

Without a word, they immediately launched into battle. Some fought with fists and feet, some with talismans, some with flying swords.

Their Dao arts and divine abilities were all phantom manifestations. They appeared ordinary and unremarkable, with no special destructive power.

Yet even without physically striking Immortal Ancestor, they still inflicted damage upon him.

Every wound was exactly the same as the black circular scar on his palm from before.

And before the vast, boundless Eternal Xuanhuang Realm, which seemed to still be continuously expanding, Immortal Ancestor’s power also appeared to be suppressed.

Facing endless phantom incarnations that never knew exhaustion, Immortal Ancestor could only struggle to defend himself.

Even if he annihilated them in an instant, soon even greater numbers of phantom incarnations would fly out from the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm.

On the contrary, before dying, each of these incarnations would inevitably inflict at least a trace of injury upon Immortal Ancestor.

Even if it was only the slightest trace, each one was a fatal wound that could never heal.

Slowly, more and more black scars appeared across Immortal Ancestor’s body.

Under the eerie reflection of the dreadful black aura, Immortal Ancestor’s compassionate face became somewhat ferocious.

Yet even in such a dangerous situation, Immortal Ancestor still did not panic.

He was thinking, analyzing the true nature of the phantom Xuanhuang Realm before him.

The comprehension ability of Dharma Transmitting Heavenly Sovereign was beyond question.

The fact that he could create the heaven-defying cultivation path of “defying the principles of heaven and earth to attain longevity” was enough to demonstrate his world-shaking brilliance that illuminated the ages.

Moments earlier, after suffering the Holy Emperor’s Dao Extinguishes Dao Born attack, he had comprehended it almost instantly and used it in return, which also demonstrated the terrifying extent of his comprehension.

He had even gained some understanding of the residual power of True Immortals drifting through the star sea, and even of the essence of the High Wall itself.

But only…

This Eternal Xuanhuang Realm, existing between illusion and reality.

It left him utterly unable to grasp or understand.

As someone in the same Supreme realm, Immortal Ancestor naturally knew that the limits of this level of power made it fundamentally impossible to create such a vast Xuanhuang Realm out of nothing.

Otherwise, he would not have needed to painstakingly patch up worlds.

Yet before him, the oppressive pressure of the worldly phantom felt completely real.

The imprints of past cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm felt completely real.

The wounds inflicted upon him also felt completely real.

What exactly was this…?

A sharp glint flashed through Immortal Ancestor’s deep eyes. He seemed on the verge of realizing the answer to the question.

But a streak of sword light sliced off his high crown.

And once again interrupted his train of thought.

Faced with the Holy Emperor’s relentless killing assaults, the condition of his body was no longer enough to support further observation and learning.

Immortal Ancestor’s felt a slight sense of regret.

He had a premonition that if he could comprehend this great divine ability of the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm, it might be of tremendous benefit, whether for the future revival of the Xuanhuang Realm, escaping the Immortal Ruins, or crossing the High Wall.

Unfortunately, the other party clearly had no intention of allowing him to have his way.

“Fellow Daoist, your talent is something rarely seen even across the past ten thousand years.”

“But if you wish to kill me…”

“You are still lacking somewhat.”

Immortal Ancestor’s expression became solemn.

A killing intent that had never appeared since the beginning of the battle surfaced in his eyes.

“To die beneath this move, Fellow Daoist may die without regret.”

Immortal Ancestor, his body covered in wounds, spoke indifferently.

Before the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm, a fissure suddenly appeared.

Boom!

A thick arm, seemingly formed from countless worlds, violently stretched out from the crack.

Bang! Bang!

Without the slightest hesitation, the world arm crashed directly into the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm.

The Star River Tunnel trembled violently.

The Eternal Xuanhuang Realm, after all, was not yet truly eternal.

But the world arm summoned by Immortal Ancestor contained real worlds.

They were merely fragments of worlds filled with deathly stillness and ruin.

Under the brutal bombardment of countless world fragments, the phantom of the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm became unstable, flickering in and out of existence.

As for the attacks from those illusory incarnations, against these already extinct worlds, they were utterly insignificant.

Even the residual True Immortal power remaining on those world fragments gradually transferred onto the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm through the collision between worlds.

Black calamities began appearing throughout the heavens and earth of the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm.

Boom!

Another arm formed entirely from world fragments appeared at another corner of the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm.

It charged directly toward the Holy Emperor standing within.

Wherever it passed, the illusory realm shattered violently.

Revealing the true dark void beneath.

“The corpses of worlds…”

The Holy Emperor looked at the overlapping vision of countless ruined worlds drawing ever closer in his sight.

Looking at the broken walls and ruins covering them, and the white bones occasionally exposed.

His mind could not help but recall the ancient catastrophe, when worlds were destroyed and cultivators turned into ash amid painful and despairing wails.

“So many…”

The Holy Emperor was moved inwardly.

As the world fragment arm that swept away everything was about to strike.

A trace of light appeared before him.

“Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth.”

The light illuminated the Holy Emperor’s compassionate face as he softly chanted.

The moment those world fragments were touched by the light.

They actually evaporated into nothingness like melting snow.

That savage and violent sweeping arm not only failed to harm the Holy Emperor in the slightest.

It instead directly lost nearly a hundred world fragments.

The arm split open in the middle.

“Hm?!”

This time, Immortal Ancestor was genuinely shocked.

Looking at the damaged world arm, his mind stirred, and he hurriedly withdrew it.

He stared at the Holy Emperor protected within the radiance.

“This light is…”

Yet another incomprehensible thing had appeared before him.

Immortal Ancestor narrowed his eyes. He did not attack recklessly again, but instead began reconsidering the other party’s true identity.

The Holy Emperor also seized this chance to rest.

After all, having unleashed killing moves one after another, even with the Xuanhuang Realm providing remote support, the expenditure for him had been immense.

The Eternal Xuanhuang Realm was founded upon the principle he had comprehended, “When the false is taken as true, even falsehood becomes real,” layered with the countless outstanding heroes of the Xuanhuang Realm from past ages, as well as those who might possibly appear in the future through deduction, forming a vast world that was both illusory and real.

In the Holy Emperor’s deductions, if one’s strength were sufficient, it would be possible to summon this Eternal Xuanhuang Realm directly out of nothingness.

But clearly, his current self had not reached such a level.

Even those summoned holy spirits of the Xuanhuang Realm could not manifest real power.

Only the attacks they unleashed in an instant, or at the moment before death, those fleeting strikes capable of injuring Immortal Ancestor, were granted the attribute of “reality.”

Real damage.

Thus, Immortal Ancestor could not heal through ordinary means.

Perhaps only by transforming those “real” wounds back into nothingness could the scars disappear from his body.

Although it had indeed inflicted considerable harm upon Immortal Ancestor, the Holy Emperor was not faring well either.

The expenditure required to transform illusion into reality far exceeded the Holy Emperor’s imagination.

In such a short time, the support power coming from the Xuanhuang Realm had already been completely exhausted.

This was also the fundamental reason why, after suffering the assault from the world fragmented arms, the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm suddenly became so fragile.

The power support the Xuanhuang Realm could provide had already reached its limit.

What later helped the Holy Emperor overcome the crisis was another treasure from the Fishing Pond.

Like Cat Treasure, very little additional information had come with it when it was fished up. Its appearance was merely that of a bare white ring.

Yet this seemingly unremarkable object had caused Cat Treasure to feel annoyance and dislike.

After he carried it, Cat Treasure refused to follow him here.

However, Cat Treasure itself had no combat capability, so the Holy Emperor ultimately decided to bring along the white ring anyway.

It proved that the Holy Emperor’s decision was correct.

The white ring effectively saved his life.

Its true name was unknown, but under its radiance, any inanimate object would be decomposed into pure energy.

Living beings, however, were unaffected.

Objects carrying a cultivator’s divine sense would still be decomposed, but the cultivator’s divine sense itself would suffer no harm whatsoever.

At first glance, it seemed somewhat useless, but in reality, it was extraordinarily formidable.

The endless world-arms sweeping toward him were all instantly decomposed into energy the moment they touched the white light.

That energy replenished the Holy Emperor’s battle expenditure.

By this point, the battle had already fallen into a stalemate.

Although Immortal Ancestor’s foundation was far deeper than the Holy Emperor’s, the Holy Emperor had compensated for that disparity through numerous fortuitous encounters.

Both stood in the Supreme Realm, having reached the limit of the Star Sea. Deciding life and death between them so easily was no simple matter.

Otherwise, it would be too much of a desecration of the title Supreme.

“Could Fellow Daoist lend me the item in your hand for a look?”

During a brief pause in the fierce battle, Immortal Ancestor suddenly made a request that sounded utterly absurd.

“I merely wish to verify certain matters. After examining it, I will return it,” Immortal Ancestor said with utmost seriousness.

The Holy Emperor fell silent.

After a long while, he extended his hand and tossed the white ring over.

Immortal Ancestor nodded in acknowledgment, casually caught the white ring, and examined it carefully.

His brows gradually rose, then he let out a sigh.

“What a pity.”

Afterward, just as he had promised, he returned the white ring to the Holy Emperor completely intact.

And during this entire exchange, he did not take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

“If my guess is correct, this item should have come from beyond the High Wall.”

“Originally, I wondered whether it might be able to dissolve the High Wall. It seems I was overthinking…” Immortal Ancestor said with self-mockery.

Then Immortal Ancestor’s expression turned solemn as he looked at the Holy Emperor and, for the first time, asked:

“Just where does Fellow Daoist come from? Could you perhaps be from beyond the High Wall?”

It was no wonder Immortal Ancestor asked this.

After all, from his perspective, the sudden appearance of a Supreme Realm being like the Holy Emperor, possessing numerous divine abilities, was simply far too suspicious.

The Holy Emperor shook his head decisively, denying Immortal Ancestor’s speculation.

“I am the Heavenly Mandate Holy Emperor of Great Qi.”

“The incarnation of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao.”

“I seek to support the great edifice before it collapses, to turn back the raging tide after its downfall, and to restore Xuanhuang’s rightful orthodoxy!” the Holy Emperor declared with a solemn expression.

Immortal Ancestor, however, sharply detected the scent of conspiracy within those words.

“The incarnation of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao…”

“If the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao possessed strength like yours, how could it have fallen to such a state?”

“Forgive this old man’s bluntness, but a mere Xuanhuang Realm could absolutely never nurture a figure such as yourself,” Immortal Ancestor said, his eyes flickering as he spoke with complete certainty.

Hearing this, the Holy Emperor could not help but fall silent.

“We two are fighting, but I fear there is some schemer plotting in the shadows.”

“Fellow Daoist, I hope you will think carefully and not fall into another person’s trap,” Immortal Ancestor said again.

“This person was able to cultivate someone like you, Fellow Daoist. Their strength is certainly not weak. Yet they have remained hidden behind the scenes the entire time…”

A fierce glint flashed in Immortal Ancestor’s eyes.

“Their scheme is enormous.”

“How about you and I join forces first and find this person, what do you think?” Immortal Ancestor suggested.

Hearing Immortal Ancestor’s words, the Holy Emperor truly began to think seriously.

Although his conviction to save the Xuanhuang Realm had never wavered, as his strength grew ever higher, he had also developed many doubts about the true origin of his own identity.

Especially after verifying that his bloodline originated from a mixture of three different lineages, the confusion in his heart had reached its peak at that time.

It was only that he had forcibly suppressed it all with his absolute conviction.

But at this moment, under the persuasion of the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor, those thoughts that had originally been extinguished reignited like dying embers flaring back to life.

Immortal Ancestor continued speaking.

“I truly understand your feelings, Fellow Daoist.”

“Look, if I had not spent all these years painstakingly patching and repairing the Xuanhuang Realm, then this final pure land within the Darkest Star Sea would probably have long since fallen into the Immortal Ruins.”

With a wave of his hand, countless images appeared before the Holy Emperor.

They showed scenes of Immortal Ancestor flying through the void, carrying world fragments that still retained a trace of life upon his back.

Even though he had long known what Immortal Ancestor had done for the Xuanhuang Realm, upon personally witnessing Immortal Ancestor’s solitary figure traveling through the cold starry sky with unwavering determination in his eyes, the Holy Emperor still felt a slight stirring in his heart.

“Although you and I have chosen different paths, in the end, both of us are doing this for that world.” Immortal Ancestor pointed toward the distant Xuanhuang Realm as he spoke.

“But the one behind the scenes may not be the same.” Immortal Ancestor’s tone became somewhat cold.

“If you and I fight, one of us will certainly be injured. It is even possible that while we are battling, that person behind the scenes may be carrying out some sinister act within the Xuanhuang Realm.”

“Can Fellow Daoist truly rest easy knowing that after your death, this person would still remain hidden within the Xuanhuang Realm?”

“As for me, I certainly would not be at ease.” The tone of the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor was filled with killing intent.

The Holy Emperor’s expression also darkened.

He felt that the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor’s words made some sense.

From the earlier act of borrowing the white ring for observation and then returning it exactly as it was, Immortal Ancestor had already demonstrated his character to him.

Meanwhile, the despicable nature of the one manipulating things behind the scenes had already become unmistakably clear.

There would always be time to decide victory or defeat with Immortal Ancestor later.

But if both he and Immortal Ancestor ended up gravely wounded…

Then that hidden mastermind might truly get exactly what they wanted.

Immortal Ancestor noticed the change in the Holy Emperor’s heart and gave a slight nod.

He then began asking the Holy Emperor about the full sequence of events.

“No memories whatsoever, suddenly descending into the world.”

“A faint connection, bloodline relation…”

As the Holy Emperor described everything, subtle changes appeared in Immortal Ancestor’s expression.

And the atmosphere between the two, almost without either noticing, gradually shifted from murderous tension to relative harmony.

“As for dragging out the one behind the scenes, it is both difficult and not difficult.”

“Since there is a bloodline connection, I possess a secret technique that can sense all those related by bloodline within a certain range. However, this person is deeply cunning and calculating. They have likely long since left the Xuanhuang Realm,” Immortal Ancestor said.
