Chapter 1007: Tianxuan Sees All Living Beings

My Longevity Simulation

Like a child who had obtained a new toy, Li Fan indulged himself by browsing the information in the Tianxuan Mirror freely.

He only regretted that the grade of the Dao Deviation Stone in his sea of consciousness was insufficient, preventing him from recording and preserving everything he saw and heard.

These were all classified secrets that every cultivator regarded as top-secret, yet now they lay entirely bare before Li Fan's eyes.

And that was not all.

It also included the complete transaction records, from the time records began, for all materials circulating in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance market.

A dazzling array, so abundant it made his eyes swim.

Even more valuable were the data records of all cultivators who had practiced using [Enlightenment].

The cultivation efficiency of every single cultivator was fully visible.

...

The Tianxuan Mirror was like an endless sea brimming with treasures, and Li Fan lingered within it, unable to tear himself away.

Unfortunately, the data contained in the Tianxuan Mirror was far too vast. It even continued to grow incessantly every moment.

It was impossible to master it all.

He could only select some important records first.

Li Fan knew that the information he was browsing at this moment was surely under the surveillance of the Tianxuan Mirror.

But it did not matter. Most of this information would not be of use to him in this lifetime.

Rather, it would come into play in every subsequent reincarnation within the Xuanhuang Realm!

The Tianxuan Mirror was like an endless ocean, while Li Fan was like someone digging a canal at the seaside, steadily channeling the seawater into himself.

Though the progress was somewhat slow, it was advancing steadily.

Li Fan placed the small Tianxuan Mirror in his bosom, maintaining the flow of information.

Then he quietly left this Bamboo Sea Cave mansion and returned to the Spiritwood Realm.

Only when the browsed information had accumulated to a certain volume, nearly bursting the mid-grade Dao Deviation Stone in his sea of consciousness, did he slightly slow the recording.

Next, he examined the records within concerning the current Dao Deviation Stones held by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

"One fragment of the Stone Mother."

"Three top-grade, sixteen high-grade."

"Mid-grade, hmm?"

"No mid-grade left?"

...

At first, Li Fan thought he had made a recording error.

But after double-checking repeatedly, he found no mistake.

After a moment of thought, Li Fan immediately understood the cause of this phenomenon.

Dao Deviation Stones all originated from the Dao Deviation Stone Mother and could be fused with one another to advance toward higher grades.

"The cultivators in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who master the secrets of Dao Deviation Stones must have long since swept up all circulating and appearing Dao Deviation Stones."

"Even as soon as a new one emerges, it is seized by various means."

"Damn it, no wonder I couldn't buy one even with contribution points."

Li Fan's eyes flickered as he began reviewing the list of cultivators holding these Dao Deviation Stones.

Upon seeing it, a sense of absurdity immediately welled up in his heart.

"The holder of the Stone Mother fragment is actually an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

And the holders recorded in the Tianxuan Mirror for the other top-grade and high-grade Dao Deviation Stones were all Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivators.

Any discerning person could tell at a glance that these identities were absolutely disguises.

"A common man without guilt harbors a jade that brings calamity; such a supreme treasure is simply not something a Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivator can possess."

"Such a disguised identity can indeed block investigations from some ill-intentioned cultivators."

"But as long as it exists, there must be connections. Every trace from the past is faithfully recorded by the Tianxuan Mirror."

"How could it escape my pursuit..."

At this point, Li Fan no longer bothered to feign ignorance before the Tianxuan Mirror and revealed all the detailed information on these twenty shell cultivators.

From their initial entry into the Tianxuan Mirror to their cultivation activities up to now, everything: communications, trading partners, including their recommenders.

He then retrieved data on these secondary suspects.

Like layer upon layer of giant nets, constantly weaving and extending outward.

When the hierarchical connections reached the fifth level, the number of linked cultivators in the net had already swelled to over a hundred thousand.

"Some among them can be directly eliminated."

Li Fan rubbed his throbbing, overloaded head and rested for a moment.

Then he resumed searching for targets within it.

After repeated comparisons and eliminations.

He finally narrowed the list down to within a hundred people.

Their cultivation levels ranged from Nascent Soul to Dao Integration.

"Investigating them alone would still be troublesome."

"First, focus on monitoring and surveilling their recent activities in the Tianxuan Mirror; then have Mo Rubin assist with a covert investigation."

After pondering for a moment, Li Fan had formed a plan in his mind.

These hundred people were almost all serving in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

For him to investigate alone would be nearly impossible.

Without special connections, he might never even get to meet them face-to-face in his lifetime.

However, if it were an investigation from a Dharma Transmitter, descending from above, it would certainly be much easier.

"The Dao Deviation Stone is far too valuable. If not for the Taiyan Sect's Stone Mother having already been digitized, I might even be tempted to barge in and seize it outright, consequences be damned."

But recalling that streak of white light fleeing during the world-ending calamity of his 115th lifetime, Li Fan calmed down and faced reality.

One who could successfully escape the crisis of a True Immortal's world destruction was clearly beyond what the current Li Fan could handle.

...

In the following period, Li Fan's days were quite fulfilling.

The Final Dissociation Disc operated at maximum efficiency, absorbing the essentials of the All Spirits Return to Numbers Great Formation and ceaselessly deriving new formation possibilities.

The Dao Deviation Stone, meanwhile, categorized and integrated the information obtained from the Tianxuan Mirror, selecting the valuable portions among them.

As for Li Fan himself, he wandered aimlessly within the Tianxuan Mirror.

Like a transparent specter: no one could see him, yet he could peer into everyone.

Their conversations, cultivation, transactions.

With the veil of the Tianxuan Mirror, the cultivators were far more unrestrained than in reality.

Thus allowing Li Fan to witness a more authentic portrait of all beings.

For instance, friends who moments ago were calling each other brothers would, upon parting, immediately curse one another.

Or, countless cultivators, like the initial He Zhenghao, chased dreams of overnight riches. They racked their brains for various "investment" paths, only to end up losing everything. They would swear in secret never to be so foolish again. Yet once they scraped together another sum of wealth, they could not resist the temptation and plunged back in, meeting the same fate.

Or again, a considerable number of cultivators, after attempting cultivation, felt that with their aptitude and speed, they would never achieve greatness in this lifetime.

So they abandoned their grand ambitions and merely took on the most basic, safe tasks.

Earning just enough to sustain themselves in the Tianxuan Mirror, then holing up without venturing out. After all, within the Tianxuan Mirror's space, there were no natural disasters, no illness, no worries.

Without various desires, they lived quite freely and at ease.

...

As Li Fan observed the varied lives of different cultivators, his mindset underwent another subtle shift, imperceptibly.
