My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 757: Chapter 720: Life and Death Decree

“Have you heard? It is said that there is a secret technique in the Transcendence Mansion that can prevent the Rebirth True Spirit from occupying the bodies of the younger generation!”

“Hmph, I’ve had people look into it, and it seems there’s some truth to this. But I can already foresee that the cost of acquiring this secret technique would be enormous. Those influential families, in order to keep the [Purity] of their descendants, will pay whatever price necessary!”

“In my opinion, my fellow cultivators shouldn’t resist this too much! The existence of the Transcendence Mansion might actually be a good thing for us!”

“Oh? How so?”

“Think about it, you could be resurrected after 18 years anyway. If you feel that you have limited talent in this life and no hope for cultivation, you can simply commit suicide. Perhaps in your next life, you’ll be born into a good family, and your new body will possess extraordinary talents…”

The naive statement instantly elicited laughter from the other cultivators.

“You sure you’re not drunk on the spiritual wine?”

“Not to mention whether you’d be that lucky or not. But have you ever wondered why resurrection requires waiting for eighteen years? Do you really think that the passing of the True Spirits into the world is entirely random during these eighteen years? I bet that there must be some hidden intricacies that we don’t know about!”

“I think he’s got a point. Think about it, we were born with average talent, and there’s no hope of rising in this life. Even if we have descendants, they are destined to live as labourers, enduring others’ oppression. That’s why I’ve never wanted to have children. Now though…”

“We might as well give it a shot. Regardless of how magnificent the True Spirit that merges with my son was in its previous life, simply having a lifetime of cultivation experience would already be an immeasurable treasure. If we’re a bit luckier and it’s the reincarnation of an powerful being, by that time, I can ride on my child’s coattails! Humph!”

“Hiss, you know what, you seem to have a point.”

…

Such debates took place everywhere in Xuanhuang World.

Xu Bai had learned more details about [Transcendence Mansion] through Nangong Shirong.

“The rumors are true, there really is a secret technique that can prevent the fusion of the True Spirit with newborns. However…”

“It costs eight million contribution points, and it must be used before the baby is born.”

“Damn it, they’re really gouging us! All my years of hard work in Sky-spirit State, and I don’t even have that much.”

“There’s also the [Reincarnation Mirror], which can peek into the memories of the True Spirit that merges with a newborn. If you’re not satisfied, hiss…”

“[True Spirit Attractor], placed on a body prepared in advance, can make your own True Spirit reincarnate into a designated body with greater accuracy.”

“[Ultimate Body Shell], you can perfectly duplicate your current body in the Transcendence Mansion for a perfect resurrection in your next life.”

“[Soul Calming Tablet], can keep your past emotions intact during the eighteen years in the Transcendence Mansion.”

“[Reincarnation Edict], no need to wait for eighteen years. Just a little bit of True Spirit allows you to be immediately resurrected after death.”

…

Xu Bai and Nangong Shirong looked at the content in the Jade Scroll with different expressions.

“There are so many fancy items! Everything is ridiculously expensive, the ordinary man can’t afford it!” Nangong Shirong cursed under his breath.

“But that [Reincarnation Edict] thing is pretty good. If paired with the [Ultimate Body Shell], doesn’t that mean we get an extra life? No, if we have enough contribution points, we can actually become immortal and resurrect indefinitely!” he exclaimed.

“The question is if there are any other restrictions.” Xu Bai said, his gaze flashing.

“They’ve seemingly considered all possible scenarios, it looks like the Immortal Alliance has been well prepared all along. It might cause a little stir, but I believe cultivators will quickly adapt.” After quickly scanning all the listed items in the Jade Scroll, Xu Bai said.

“With the manifestation of immortality, everything can change in an instant. This [Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign] is really something. The Xuanhuang World is about to enter a new era.” Nangong Shirong said, full of emotion.

“I wonder what the situation is with the Five Elders Organization? Can the divine power of the Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign cover their area?” Xu Bai suddenly asked.

“This…” Nangong Shirong hesitated, “I’m not quite sure. But, I heard they seemed to have reached some kind of deal with a small pilot area…”

Xu Bai’s eyes flickered slightly.

After this, the cultivators of the Xuanhuang World gradually adapted to the existence of the Transcendence Mansion in the sky healing.

Not long after, the first case of resurrection occurred.

A Golden Core Cultivator named Ximen Yang self-destructed and died, his soul scattered right in front of everyone’s eyes.

But not long after, he appeared alive and well within everyone’s sight.

He looked and acted just as he had before.

He even remembered his own self-destruction, bragging to everyone he met about his experience of self-destruction, death, and resurrection.

News spread fast, and those cultivators who were initially skeptical about [Transcendence] started to believe.

As more and more cases of resurrected cultivators appeared on the Immortal Alliance’s land, [Transcendence] slowly gained acceptance from the public.

In the midst of the Element Devouring White Fog.

Despite the fog, the three of them could vaguely see the Transcendence Mansion looming above them through the fog.

“Damn, now cultivators aren’t afraid of death at all, even in the depths of the mist!” Dong Fangyao cursed, and before he finished speaking, he saw a Puxian true ship whizzing past him.

“What you’re saying is obvious, isn’t it? With the Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign, everyone can resurrect, so why fear death? Just wait for eighteen years, and you’re as good as new!” Huang Fusong sneered.

“I don’t believe in this Transcendence Mansion. There must be something fishy about this. Think about it, they say you preserve a fragment of the True Spirit that holds your memory. Even if you resurrect, wouldn’t it be different because you’re fused with someone else? Even if you have a body prepared and you achieve so-called resurrection, but I did die at that time. The person who was reincarnated is just another person who share same memory with me, that’s it!” Dong Fangyao said, his face serious.

“You two brothers mustn’t be deceived by this, you must be careful!” he advised.

“Dong Fang, when did you become so insightful? What you’re saying seems to make some sense.” Huang Fusong frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully.

Li Fan listened to their argument, but he was preoccupied with other thoughts.

“In my previous life, this Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign never made himself known to the world, let alone this Transcendence Mansion.”

“The reversed Principle of Heaven and Earth should have naturally existed in the world, like the [Sovereign of Serene Heavens], naturally integrated and indistinguishable.”

“Now the reversal of the Principle of Life and Death requires the Transcendence Mansion. Does that mean that this Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign hasn’t achieved the most perfect ideal state?”

“Is it just a hurried, reluctant move influenced by Lan Yu?”
