My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1072: How Can Oaths Change So Lightly?

"Back then, I was an orphan with no home to return to, barely clothed and starving. Every day, I struggled between life and death, living in constant fear."

"Fortunately, after joining the ranks of the Dharma-Transmitters, my fate changed from that point on, and I truly understood the meaning of life."

Dharma-Transmitter Feng's voice echoed through the circular conference hall, his face filled with nostalgia.

Next, Feng vividly described the brutal battles against the Ten Great Immortal Sects back then, as well as the cautious hibernation during the great calamity. He even recounted the excitement when the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor reappeared after thousands of years and rebuilt the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance on the ruins of the cultivation world.

His words seemed to transport all the Dharma-Transmitters present back to that turbulent era.

Finally, Dharma-Transmitter Feng declared resolutely: "I, Feng Rui, will forever pledge loyalty to the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor and always remain loyal to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

"Life after life, without a second thought!"

"Just as in the past!"

Feng did not play any ambiguous word games but stated it straightforwardly.

Above the circular conference hall, the countless illusory shadows of the ancient heroes all emitted a faint glow, shining upon Feng Rui.

Feng Rui stood tall with his head held high, proudly accepting the scrutiny of everyone present, as if it were the highest honor.

All the Dharma-Transmitters in attendance, including Jiang, felt an inexplicable surge of emotion.

They knew that Feng Rui had passed the test of the Dharma-Transmitter's Oath.

Zhou, Wei, and Huang subtly glanced at Li Fan, whose expression remained solemn.

As Feng Rui returned from the center of the hall, the assembled Dharma-Transmitters erupted in thunderous applause to show respect and celebration.

Next, the other Dharma-Transmitters detected with Xuantian Sect techniques took the stage one by one to speak.

Without exception, they all passed the review of the Dharma-Transmitter's Oath perfectly.

"Fellow Daoist, what is going on here?"

"Could it be that you have been weaving lies to deceive us from beginning to end?" Wei's face darkened somewhat; he directly raised his voice in front of all the Dharma-Transmitters to question him.

This statement seemed like angry embarrassment from being deceived, but in reality, it was to shift the conflict and draw a clear line.

The immortal puppet Li Fan's expression remained unchanged.

The current situation in the circular conference hall was truly unexpected, beyond what he could handle. He was waiting for the original self's decision.

Li Fan, remotely controlling from the Spiritwood Realm, thought for a moment and ultimately decided not to reveal the formation recording of Mo Rubin possessing Feng Rui at that time.

Because the other side could simply counter with, "The recorded footage is forged," turning the tables.

After all, now that Feng Rui had passed the test of the Dharma-Transmitter's Oath, his identity as a Dharma-Transmitter had been verified on the level of the laws.

"This Feng Rui is actually genuinely loyal to the Immortal Ancestor from the bottom of his heart..."

"There are two possibilities for this situation to occur."

"Either the Immortal Ancestor is truly the Xuantian King. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the former Xuantian Sect are two sides of the same coin. As Mo Rubin can naturally speak of all this openly."

"Or..."

"Mo Rubin has already separated from Dharma-Transmitter Feng's body. The current Feng Rui is indeed a true Dharma-Transmitter."

"What is the truth, exactly?" Li Fan's true self pondered rapidly.

Scenes of past interactions with Mo Rubin resurfaced in his mind.

Although they were all just playacting, the underlying intentions in some of those words were extremely difficult to conceal or alter.

Li Fan immediately made his decision.

"If I'm wrong, it's just wasting one immortal puppet."

With no psychological burden, Li Fan promptly issued the order.

In the ring-shaped conference hall.

The immortal puppet Li Fan faced the crowd of Dharma-Transmitters' gazes full of doubt but did not offer any explanation.

Instead, he looked straight at Dharma-Transmitter Jiang: "I have words that I must say privately."

This statement immediately drew dissatisfaction from some in attendance.

Everyone was a brother; what could only be said to Dharma-Transmitter Jiang?

The hall stirred with unrest.

However, seeing the sincere look in Li Fan's eyes, Jiang pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement to his request.

With a gentle wave of Jiang's hand, a circular compartment appeared in the center of the ring-shaped conference hall.

Heroic phantoms materialized outside the compartment, blocking any external line of sight.

Li Fan's body flew uncontrollably into it.

"What words do you have? You can speak them now. Only I can hear here." Dharma-Transmitter Jiang said indifferently.

"How well do you know the four of them, Feng Rui and the others?" Li Fan asked with a smile.

"All Dharma-Transmitters' every move within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is under my eyes. Every action they take, every resource they call upon from the Alliance, is under my control. I simply turn a blind eye to it. And on this point, they all know it in their hearts."

Li Fan continued: "Then, in your opinion, among the twenty-seven people present today besides yourself, how many could pass the Dharma-Transmitter's Oath?"

"Feng Rui and the other three passed the oath test so perfectly... Do you not find that strange?"

Dharma-Transmitter Jiang fell silent at once.

He had seen all the words and deeds of the various Dharma-Transmitters over these years.

He naturally knew that some of them had indeed been excessively reckless and willful.

But it had no impact on the overall stability of the Alliance. And they were comrades who had crawled out of piles of corpses together in the past.

So he had turned a blind eye to it.

But to say that, after so many years, these people still held their original intentions unchanged...

He did not believe it.

Perhaps a few did, but only a scant handful at most.

Ever since Feng Rui and the other three had passed the great oath so nobly and perfectly, Dharma-Transmitter Jiang had known something was off.

But now, being pointed out face-to-face by an outsider, he still felt a slight sigh.

After a moment of contemplation, Dharma-Transmitter Jiang replied: "No matter what, they completed the oath verification publicly. That means they still qualify to sit in the positions of Dharma-Transmitters. Aside from the Immortal Ancestor, no one else can strip their authority."

"As for those scheming behind the scenes..."

"I will handle it personally and root them out."

Li Fan nodded at once: "I can assist you."

Dharma-Transmitter Jiang neither confirmed nor denied it.

The circular compartment vanished, but only Jiang reappeared in the center of the conference hall.

"The suspicions on Feng Rui and the others have been cleared. They remain the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's most loyal Dharma-Transmitters!"

"Just like all of you!"

"As for that slanderous and rumor-mongering bandit, I have already erased him."

Jiang proclaimed loudly, setting the final tone for this incident.

The crowd of Dharma-Transmitters responded with applause.

He then spoke some official platitudes, after which Jiang announced the end of this assembly.

The Dharma-Transmitters departed one after another.

However, Feng Rui and the other three were held back by Dharma-Transmitter Jiang via voice transmission, as he said there were still some specific details to inquire about.

Feng Rui and the others naturally answered everything they knew without reservation.

After learning the details of this period from their mouths in full.

Dharma-Transmitter Jiang finally nodded slightly and let them leave.

At this point, the ring-shaped conference hall held only him alone.

Only then did Li Fan's figure slowly manifest.
