My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 761: Chapter 724: Transformation of the Tianxuan Mirror

“Originally, I wanted to stay longer in the White Mist, but the one accompanying me, Huang Fusong, unfortunately fell in battle. Seeing a companion I’ve been with for days die tragically right in front of my eyes, I was deeply moved.”

Li Fan had a look of regret on his face: “You have to know, Huang Fusong’s level of cultivation was even higher than mine by a significant margin, yet he died in such an inexplicable way. It really shows the unpredictability of life and death. So I returned immediately without a hint of greed in my heart.”

“Fortunately, with the divine power of the Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign, Huang Fusong has a chance to resurrect.”

Hearing that Li Fan had returned from the White Mist while fighting for his life, a slight hint of disdain flashed imperceptibly in Dan Taitao’s eyes.

However, Shuo Feng laughed and said, “I advised you not to go, but you didn’t listen. It was really not worth it for such a paltry reward.”

Li Fan shook his head slightly, “Not everyone has a powerful family background like Brother Shuo. Naturally, if I want something, I have to fight for it myself. At least, I was lucky enough…”

While talking, Li Fan took out the [Stone Plate of the Apocalypse].

Immediately attracting the attention of Shuo Feng and Dan Taitao.

After casually handing over the stone plate, Shuo Feng took it and examined it for a while, marveling, “You’re indeed blessed with good fortune. As far as I know, quite a few people had their eyes on this thing, yet you were the first to exchange it.”

“But whether it’s a gain or a loss, it’s hard to say.”

Unable to discern anything exceptional, Shuo Feng tossed it to Dan Taitao to play with.

With squinted eyes, Dan Taitao examined it for a while before shaking his head and returning it to Li Fan.

“Did you two notice anything?” Li Fan casually asked.

“The Immortal Alliance has already thoroughly researched it and found nothing. How could we possibly discern anything peculiar in such a short time?” Shuo Feng laughed lightly.

Furthermore, Dan Taitao said, “In my opinion, this might just be a plain ordinary rock.”

Li Fan shook his head in denial, “I have the feeling that this object is not ordinary. When I go back to study it and if I make a discovery, I will definitely notify you two right away!”

A hint of displeasure flashed in Dan Taitao’s eyes.

While Shuo Feng clapped his hands and praised, “Then I am looking forward to it!”

Dan Taitao could only reluctantly agree.

“By the way, when I just came, I heard you Brother Shuo saying something about being refused by the Immortal…” After a moment of silence, Li Fan changed the subject and probed.

Shuo Feng waved his hand with a frustrated expression, “Don’t bring it up. I recently had a premonition about the opportunity to ascend to infant stage. But she insisted on not letting me go and wanted to wait longer.”

“Having to stay in this small yard every day is literally suffocating me,” Shuo Feng complained.

“The Immortal’s actions must be taken with the consideration of some profound meaning. If she is asking you to wait, could it be that there will be a significant change in the Immortal Alliance?” Instead of denigrating the Frostive Immortal, Li Fan frowned and pondered.

“I have heard about something,” Dan Taitao suddenly remarked.

“Oh?” Shuo Feng looked at Dan Taitao, interested.

“It is said that the exploration progress of the White Mist Barrier is nearing completion. We’ve collected quite enough data, perhaps the Tianxuan Mirror is close to…” Dan Taitao stopped abruptly.

“Never mind, Brother Li is our Mysterious Family Guest Official, it’s fine to speak!” Shuo Feng sensed Dan Taitao’s hesitation and waved dismissively.

So, Dan Taitao continued to explain.

“The TianXuan Mirror, left behind by the Celestial Dharma Bearer, is the most precious and enigmatic treasure of the Immortal Alliance. In the Xuanhuang World, under Heaven and Earth, everything is under its projection.”

“Except for the White Mist Barrier.”

“The area within the White Mist is a completely new and unfamiliar existence for the Tianxuan Mirror.”

“If we compare the Tianxuan Mirror to a cultivator, its method of cultivation could be considered a measurement of Heaven and Earth. But for several millennia, it has reached a bottleneck and has not progressed any further.”

“The Five Elders Organization wouldn’t let the Tianxuan Mirror carry out its exploration. So, the only method for it to progress further is to measure the area in the White Mist.”

“If there is sufficient data, perhaps the Tianxuan Mirror can advance further, accomplish its ascension, and transform.”

“This is why the Immortal Alliance has been strongly promoting the exploration of the White Mist Barrier this time.”

Dan Taitao elaborated.

Shuo Feng couldn’t help but ask, “So that’s why you array masters were summoned to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters earlier? This secret, I wasn’t very clear about.”

Dan Taitao smiled but made no sound, which was his way of acknowledging.

“The current TianXuan Mirror can be said to be the foundation of the Immortal Alliance. If it were able to transform…” A glimmer of aspiration flashed in Dan Taitao’s eyes.

Li Fan also ruminated thoughtfully, “The transformation of the TianXuan Mirror will certainly have a profound impact on the Immortal Alliance. The fact that the Frostive Immortal did not let Brother Shuo go out must be because she has a reason. Brother Shuo, you just have to be patient and wait. According to Brother Dan’s explanation, that day should be close.”

Shuo Feng grunted, and they stopped discussing the matter.

The three of them then engaged in casual conversation.

In the end, under Shuo Feng’s strong insistence, Li Fan fought another round with him.

Purposely slowing down his casting speed, Li Fan’s [Silk Drawing] technique was broken by Shuo Feng’s Sword Light halfway through.

With a sword scar left on his body, a profusely bleeding Li Fan readily conceded defeat.

Shuo Feng, on the other hand, burst into hearty laughter and waved his hand to restore the countless blood threads strangled on his body by the silk lines.

Having broken the [Silk Drawing] technique, Shuo Feng felt content and didn’t insist on holding back.

After staying for a while, Li Fan took his leave.

He then left Tianquan Province and went back to the Valley of Eternal Life.

Liu San, Fang Zaiji, and Jiang Yushan all came to visit him.

After reporting on the quantity of Elixir of Immortality that was refined, Liu San brought up another matter.

“By the way, we might have tracked down the cultivator named Zhong Shentong who you asked about before.”

“Oh? What’s the result?” Li Fan raised his eyebrows.

Liu San’s expression was somewhat strange, “Master, are you sure this is the cultivator you’re looking for?”

Saying this, Liu San displayed the image of a white-haired old man.

Li Fan squinted his eyes. It was indeed the Zhong Shentong he had encountered in his previous life.

After nodding to confirm, in a somewhat peculiar tone, Liu San said, “The man has been found, but it is said he has reached the end of his life, unable to break through the cultivation bottleneck, and has died.”

“Dead?” Li Fan was stunned.

“You didn’t make a mistake, did you?” Li Fan asked again.

Zhong Shentong’s Life and Death Mysterious Skill, and the Seven-color Divine Light, are rare and unparalleled skills.

The one who could master these two is definitely not an ordinary person.

Could it be that he quietly perished in this life?

Liu San laughed bitterly, “Master personally ordered this task, and I naturally understood its importance. It has been confirmed multiple times. Zhong Shentong is indeed dead.”

Upon hearing this, Li Fan’s brow furrowed deeply.

After thinking for a while, his brow relaxed again.

As it turned out, the reason why Zhong Shentong perished in this life might be precisely because of the existence of [Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign].
