My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 1208: Hidden Dangers in the Xuanhuang Realm

Li Fan, having narrowly survived the ordeal, began to recall the terrifying power he had just sensed within the Boundless Mirror.

"Is this the reason the Boundless Mirror was damaged?"

"It gives me the feeling that it even surpasses those True Immortal Seal Scripts."

"Although everything I have seen so far are mere imitations of True Immortal Seal Scripts, what remains in the Boundless Mirror is only a lingering aftershock."

"Could the calamity that befell the immortal realm be related to this?"

Despite the myriad questions swirling in his mind, Li Fan had no intention of delving deeper into it for the time being.

An existence capable of destroying the immortal realm was absolutely beyond what he could confront at present.

"It only lingers somewhat within the Boundless Mirror. Even if induced to release, it would at most envelop the area of a single city."

"It might have some use in a critical moment."

"No wonder a majestic immortal artifact ended up occupied by the remnant soul of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator. That annihilating storm is truly too terrifying."

"An immortal artifact originally belonging to the Boundless Sect and located in the Xuanhuang Realm underwent such a change..."

"Does that not mean this calamity once occurred in the Xuanhuang Realm?"

"A mere aftershock was enough to damage an immortal artifact. If it truly happened, it is impossible for no traces to remain."

Li Fan's thoughts paused. Suddenly, two major events that had altered the course of Xuanhuang Realm history came to mind, and he wondered if they might be connected.

The first was the inexplicable disappearance of Xuantian King Xuanyuan Hong.

The second was the disappearance of those six top-tier Longevity Immortal Realm cultivators who had besieged the Immortal Ancestor—back when he was only at the Dao Integration stage.

"These people's cultivations stood at the pinnacle of their era."

"Ordinary things within the Xuanhuang Realm could not possibly harm them. Unless..."

A stir arose in Li Fan's heart.

"A power transcending the mortal realm."

Li Fan also recalled the Heavenly Capital Grand Mage, who had arrived in the Xuanhuang Realm after the great calamity and had remained stationed in Daoyuan Prefecture ever since his injury, never moving.

"Was his arrival back then truly coincidental?"

At this moment, thick doubt rose uncontrollably in Li Fan's heart.

This realization also served as a stark warning to him.

Even though his perspective had now extended beyond the Xuanhuang Realm and reached the far end of the Star Sea, there were still existences within the Xuanhuang Realm that he could not see through and had yet to reach.

No matter what he did, he must exercise utmost caution.

Amid these surging thoughts, Sun Luyuan hurriedly returned.

He refined a large mass of essence blood along with several materials and added them to the essence blood pool.

The pool water, which had grown somewhat dim, once again shimmered with flowing radiance.

Li Fan also turned his attention to the condition of the Boundless Mirror.

It had almost reverted to the state it was in before absorbing the fragments.

Still, it was slightly more complete than before. Li Fan believed that once Sun Luyao awoke, the situation would improve to some extent.

Moreover, Li Fan had briefly glimpsed a more complete version of the Grand Formation of the Primordial Mystic Spirit. Even if perfect restoration was out of reach, making some repairs and patches was still within his capabilities.

Three days later, Sun Luyao, the spirit of the Boundless Mirror, finally awoke briefly from his deep slumber.

"Brother, I need some things."

After transmitting the list of materials required for repairing the formation, he fell unconscious once more.

Sun Luyuan looked at the detailed list his younger brother had sent and hurriedly set off to gather them.

During this period, the Chen family of the Medicine Hall had been closely monitoring Sun Luyuan's movements, fearing he might lash out in desperation if pushed too far.

Yet Sun Luyuan seemed to have forgotten the matter entirely. He came and went busily, apparently preoccupied with some urgent affair.

This left the Chen family somewhat perplexed.

Moreover, their backer at the Immortal Alliance headquarters, Dharma-Transmitter Chang, remained unreachable.

Thus, the Chen family chose to hold back and observe quietly.

Under Sun Luyuan's relentless, cost-no-object efforts, the required materials were soon fully assembled.

On the surface, it appeared as though Sun Luyao was absorbing them, but in reality, it was Li Fan's clone who took action.

As the shattered core of the formation was gradually restored, the condition of the Boundless Mirror finally began to stabilize.

After hearing about what his brother had endured, Sun Luyuan's brows furrowed tightly.

"Little brother, do you still remember the ancient ruin where we first found this mirror?"

Sun Luyao was slightly stunned.

"Before this, I thought that ruined site was merely an ordinary ancient relic eroded by the passage of time. But now that you mention it..."

Sun Luyuan's expression turned somewhat grim: "That place seems to have been destroyed by the obliterating storm within the mirror..."

"Perhaps it was precisely because of that earlier release that we brothers were able to seize the opportunity. Otherwise, with our cultivation at the time, how could we possibly have subdued this mirror?"

Sun Luyao recalled the scene from back then and slowly came to the same realization.

"There is such a possibility. I still remember that almost nothing of value could be found in that ruin. The only thing the Tianxuan Mirror acknowledged gave a very low contribution value for recovery..."

"Focus on recovering from your injuries. In a while, I will return to that old ruin to investigate. The entrance was extremely well hidden, and since only ruins remain, after so many years, it likely has not changed much. There may be some discoveries." Sun Luyuan said gravely.

"Be careful, Brother." Sun Luyao did not try to dissuade him, only offering a word of caution.

"And the Chen family..." Sun Luyuan suddenly gave a cold snort.

He recalled the scene that the Boundless Mirror had inexplicably deduced earlier.

"That force locked in a fierce struggle with the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance seems to be the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi that my brother previously discovered."

"In that case, the Tianxuan Mirror's prediction does have some basis."

"Both supreme artifacts have made such forecasts..."

"It seems the time has come to attempt contact with them."

Of course, Sun Luyuan would not go straight to their door himself from the outset.

After all, the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi had not yet openly declared enmity with the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. He would first send a trusted confidant to probe the situation before deciding on the next concrete steps.

By comparison, the Boundless Mirror—which he had once thought was a supreme treasure but now realized could erupt into a catastrophic anomaly at any moment—worried him far more.

Since his younger brother had already become the mirror spirit, abandoning it was absolutely impossible.

Sun Luyuan made some preparations and planned to first return to that ancient ruin to take a look.

The incident at Hundred Stones Cave-Heaven had made Sun Luyuan aware that the Chen family was surely still watching him from the shadows.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Sun Luyuan directly contacted an old friend.

Ji Hongdao!

"Old Ji, there is something I would like to ask for your help with..." Sun Luyuan reached out through a spiritual talisman.

Soon, Ji Hongdao arrived at the Sun family gates.

"Hahaha, Old Sun, the favor I owed you from back then can finally be repaid." Ji Hongdao laughed heartily.

"I heard you recently clashed with the Chen family of the Medicine Hall?" Once inside the room, Ji Hongdao suddenly lowered his voice.

"Yes. The treasure in which Luyao resides was somehow discovered by the Chen family." Sun Luyuan stated plainly.

Ji Hongdao understood immediately.

"Rest assured. Though they have a Dharma-Transmitter as their backer, you also have a Mirror Holder supporting you from behind."

"Since their operation was exposed this time, they definitely will not dare act rashly again in the short term."

Sun Luyuan said solemnly: "A cornered beast is the most dangerous. For this trip, I will have to trouble you, brother."
