My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 755: Chapter 718: The Life and Death Sovereign

Upon witnessing this scene, Li Fan immediately thought of the “Rain of Replication” once mentioned by Yin Shangren.

However, this time what he encountered was markedly different, as the corpses that fell from the sky did not resemble those he had seen before.

Therefore, he quickly realized that this was not the “Rain of Replication”.

Instead, it was the disintegration of the “Giant of A Thousand Corpses,” which they had encountered before.

Clearly, Huang Fusong and Xu Bai had the same instantaneous reaction.

Furrowing his brow, he asked: “What the hell happened? Did we just happen upon the Immortal Alliance making a move on the Giant of Corpses?”

Feeling perplexed, he and Dong Fangyao could not figure out the cause, but Li Fan had a vague hunch.

“Could this be the sign of the Principle of Life and Death being reversed again?” Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

“According to my calculation, even if Lan Yu consumes more life-extending elixirs, he is nearing his end.”

“It seems he finally chose this path. However, in such a short amount of time, he has already managed to dismantle the manifestation of the Principle of Reversing Life and Death…”

He began to question, “Is Lan Yu really that powerful?”

A trace of doubt flashed through Li Fan’s heart.

“Or perhaps, did he have other assistance?”

Although Xu Bai didn’t fully understand how the reversal of the Principle of Heaven and Earth and its impact on all things in the world were achieved.

Yet, the events currently unfolding—where the freely moving Giant of Corpses disintegrated in an instant—indicated without a doubt that two contrasting forces were clashing.

“However, this doesn’t necessarily imply that Lan Yu has gained the upper hand in the clash. All it suggests is that the Immortal Sovereign, who reversed life and death, is perhaps somewhat caught off guard by Lan Yu’s counterattack. After all, the Immortal Sovereign had just recently reversed the principle and hasn’t had enough time to complete the [Establishment of Theorem] process.”

“The gap between not reaching the Immortal Realm and achieving Unity-Path isn’t as big as I had imagined.”

As Li Fan pondered deeply, the rain of corpses gradually came to a halt.

Huang Fusong and Dong Fangyao watched the countless corpses disappear into the depths of the White Mist with uneasy expressions.

Cursing under his breath, Dong Fangyao groaned, “Damn, things are getting weirder in this White Mist.”

After taking a breather, the three of them continued their journey into the White Mist in pursuit of the Mystical Realm’s trails.

At that moment, in Tianliang State, Xu Bai, who had previously been in cheerful conversations with envoys from various states, made an excuse to leave abruptly.

Returning to the Tianxuan Mirror, he began searching for clues related to the clash of the Principle of Heaven and Earth.

All was silent, and there seemed to be no anomalies.

However, that in itself was the biggest anomaly.

If even the depths of the White Mist were affected by the contention of the two parties, how could the Xuanhuang Mainland be unaffected?

There were bound to be phenomena that defied logic happening, but they were intentionally obscured by the Immortal Alliance.

Xu Bai pondered for a moment, left the Tianxuan Mirror, and contacted Liu San.

He instructed him to suspend alchemy for the time being, and ordered the cultivators of the Medicine King Sect in various regions to probe if anything strange was happening around them.

Consciousness of the disciples of the Medicine King Sect were connected through the [Great Dream Spring Autumn Array], and their actions were swift.

In less than half a day, messages from various states trickled in continuously to Xu Bai.

“A cultivator rushed out of the White Mist, going berserk as soon as he saw anyone, indiscriminately attacking everything. He was fearless in the face of death. Before the Immortal Alliance Cultivators could kill him, he fell by himself. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that he had already been dead.”

“In Tianlin State, a Golden Core Cultivator exploded and died during the process of forming his Golden Core. The astral phenomenon associated with his death had already appeared in the sky, and his friends were preparing to collect his body. But all of sudden, he came back to life. The celestial phenomenon abruptly stopped, but the clouds in the sky, seemingly unwilling to disperse, hovered for a long time.”

“Interesting…” Xu Bai’s eyes flickered with intrigue.

“In Taihua State, there was a daoist couple. After the wife had died a long time ago, the husband couldn’t accept the fact and preserved his wife’s corpse by freezing it. Not long ago, the loving husband suddenly appeared in public with a female cultivator. Initially, people thought he had finally let go and found himself another partner. But on a closer look, they realized that the female cultivator by his side was his wife, who had died many years ago! Her eyes were vacant, and she behaved unusually, unable to remember her friends from her past life.”

…

As Xu Bai continued reading, his expression gradually turned solemn.

Because, apart from the initial rumors of people who appeared neither dead nor alive suddenly losing their ability to move.

A growing number of instances of resurrection from death started occurring not limited to one state, but across the entire region under the jurisdiction of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

“Even within the Five Elders Organization…”

Xu Bai’s expression turned grave.

“Is it because of Lan Yu’s intervention, that the Life and Death Heavenly Venerate has begun to speed up the [Theorem Establishment] process?”

According to what Xu Bai knew, there were no signs of battle in Lan Yu’s Yuandao State.

“There wasn’t any effort to resolve this competitor directly through battle. Instead, they’re trying to crush him using the great momentum of reversing the principle. ”

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, “It seems that the Life and Death Heavenly Venerate doesn’t take Lan Yu seriously. He is not even interested in taking action against him.”

“All he needs to do is follow his plan to attain immortality in sequence, treating Lan Yu, standing in his way, as a mantis trying to stop a chariot—doomed to be crushed.”

Xu can almost hear Lan Yu’s roar of failure.

“Perhaps the end is near, and all I need to do is wait patiently.”

Xu Bai continued to have the disciples of the Medicine King Sect collect information. To avoid distractions, he locked his Communication Talisman and focused on observing the development of the situation.

As he had predicted, an increasing number of resurrection events finally alarmed the Immortal Alliance cultivators.

Discussion filled with trepidation grew, eventually drawing a declaration from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

“Cultivators of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, mark this great day.”

“After many years, we, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, will welcome a new Immortal Sovereign.”

“Man cannot be resurrected after death, this is the Principle of Heaven and Earth.”

“But from today onwards, this established fact will be rewritten.”

“To reverse the Principle of Life and Death, the Heavenly Venerate’s name will be [Transcendence].”

“So, do not panic. Celebrate wholeheartedly.”

“Under the Divine power of the Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign, all cultivators who have fallen will be resurrected after eighteen years, and their memories from the previous life will be retained.”

“A new era has arrived!”

After the announcement was issued, all the cultivators in the world fell into a stunned silence.

Then came the shock, skepticism, and fear…

All sorts of emotions erupted simultaneously.

Each state’s divisions of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals were surrounded by cultivators who couldn’t get through.

They were eager to know about the details of the cycles of reincarnations and the method of so-called resurrection.

However, the officials in various areas were clueless about the matter and had no information to give.

They could only try their best to manage the situation and wait for the day the answer would be revealed.
