My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 900: The Fallen Immortal Scheme 

Great Li Realm.

Just after finishing her prayers, Su Yuqing, who was cultivating beside the Immortal Spirit Tower, suddenly felt her face flush a deep red.

It was as if her body had been violently forced open by some massive, unseen force, letting out a muffled, painful groan.

As she stood there, bewildered and unsure of what was happening, a wave of pure spiritual energy mysteriously entered her body. It surged like a melting glacier, shattering violently!

Roaring through her body, it only took a few cycles around her meridians before transforming into a power she could fully control.

It obediently returned to her dantian!

At the same time, her cultivation realm began climbing at a speed terrifyingly visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, she skyrocketed from early Golden Core stage to perfect Golden Core stage.

Her advance only halted reluctantly because the materials required for the new method’s breakthrough had reached their limit.

Throughout this entire process, the cultivation bottleneck known as “Heavenly Calamity” did not appear even once!

Su Yuqing stared in disbelief at the level of her cultivation, unable to fully comprehend it.

As she carefully traced the source of the spiritual energy that had helped her break through, realization dawned on her, and her expression changed.

She quickly knelt on both knees, meditating and giving thanks for the gift granted by the Merciful True Immortal of Salvation and Mortal Compassion.

Spiritwood Realm, before the Faceless Divine Statue.

An invisible feedback of cultivation suddenly appeared within Li Fan’s body.

It originated from the Sitting Immortal Art, triggered by Su Yuqing’s consecutive breakthroughs!

Even accounting for the previous transfer of cultivation that Li Fan had granted Su Yuqing, the two-way exchange resulted in Li Fan’s cultivation slightly improving as well.

“What is this?”

Li Fan felt an inexplicable shock in his heart.

But soon, he calmed down.

The generation of feedback cultivation did not violate any laws; it still fell within the operational mechanisms of the Sitting Immortal Art.

It was as if Li Fan had personally expended cultivation to help someone else advance. After the task, it was indeed possible to receive some feedback cultivation.

However, the process normally consumed far too much cultivation, making it a loss-making endeavor. Truly, it was not worth the effort.

“But now, through this Faceless Xuantian Statue, the loss of cultivation during transfer has been drastically reduced.”

“This makes the process profitable!”

Li Fan understood instantly—this was a special function attached to the mysterious Faceless Stone Statue.

“Communicating with followers, bestowing divine blessings…”

“This is getting more and more like a cult.”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, his gaze returning to the Faceless Divine Statue.

“But here’s the question: if some great being is really behind this statue, why wouldn’t they contact the followers directly? Why transfer all these abilities and responses to me instead?”

“Have my secrets been exposed?”

After much contemplation, Li Fan concluded that probably not.

After all, judging by the temperament of such powerful beings, if they truly knew about the [Truth] residing within him, they would almost certainly not play any cat-and-mouse games with him.

Most likely, they would have descended directly to seize it.

“Otherwise… perhaps it is sleeping for some reason.”

Li Fan’s eyes flickered.

He stared at the statue for a long while before finally stepping away.

There was no order forbidding ordinary people from approaching the Faceless Statue; everything proceeded as usual, as if nothing had ever happened.

As he moved farther from the statue, the prayers echoing in Li Fan’s mind gradually faded.

This only made Li Fan more certain of his judgment.

“Xuantian Sect…”

A burning curiosity surged within him—he desperately wanted to know more about this ancient and mysterious sect.

Even thousands of years later, it remained an absolutely taboo topic. Back in the era of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, the Xuantian Sect was still a matter only the true core of each sect could know about.

Even after countless reincarnations, Li Fan had only been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the Xuantian Sect through Zhao Shijie’s dream.

“Perhaps… there is another way.”

Suddenly, in Li Fan’s mind, the first dungeon in the Fallen Immortal Realm, [Ningyuan’s Quest for the Longevity Fruit], came to mind.

His incarnation, Li Chen, had been the target for possession by the future Dharma King of the Xuantian Sect.

“If I just wait patiently… might I be able to see this Dharma King in the Fallen Immortal Realm?”

Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat at the thought.

Since only a divine consciousness entered the Fallen Immortal Realm, even if the Dharma King tried to assimilate him, his true body would not be harmed in any way.

“Perhaps this is a rare opportunity that cannot be realized in the real world.”

“When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you. While he tries to occupy Li Chen’s body and merge with him, Li Chen is also attempting to peek into his memories.”

As for whether the Dharma King in the Fallen Immortal Realm could cross its boundaries and affect or harm the real-world Li Fan…

Unless one’s power surpassed that of the Fallen Immortal, it was absolutely impossible.

Li Fan’s eyes flickered as he considered this, and he deemed it feasible.

He quickly made his decision.

With a flicker of his form, he appeared in the secluded meditation chamber of the Spiritwood Realm.

He skillfully set up the ritual.

“Previously, out of wary of Mr. Bai, I refrained from entering the Fallen Immortal Realm until I found a way to eliminate the latent threat that had yet to manifest.”

“But now, the crisis posed by the Xuantian Sect seems far more imminent.”

“As for the risks…”

Li Fan’s gaze was resolute, with not a trace of fear: “He who fears to act will accomplish nothing! Am I, Li Fan, such a crude man? Certainly not!”

“Blessings to the Celestial Venerable Of Xuanhuang!”

He whispered silently. In the next instant, the surrounding scene twisted.

As expected, he returned to the [Ningyuan’s Quest for the Longevity Fruit].

“Junior Brother? Junior Brother?”

Zhang Qianmo’s familiar voice came from beside him.

The strange sensation ebbed away like a tide, and Li Fan turned to look at Zhang Qianmo.

“Junior Brother, what’s wrong?” Zhang Qianmo asked, his eyes filled with concern and confusion.

“First time descending from the mountain… a bit excited,” Li Fan quickly assumed his role, replying in character.

They joked and conversed, arriving at Ningyuan City along the expected path.

As per the established trajectory, Senior Brother Zhang was eager to meet his old lover, Chi Xia, leaving the task of collecting the Longevity Fruits to Li Fan.

Li Fan smiled but did not intervene.

After parting ways, Li Fan made no reckless moves, instead heading directly to the [Tree of Longevity] in the city center to collect three Longevity Fruits.

Guided by Ningyuan City steward Song Hesong, Li Fan quickly retrieved the fruits from their seal.

According to the “script,” it wouldn’t be long before the ambush by Chu Liang and other Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance cultivators, targeting Chi Xia to provoke Zhang Qianmo and then encircle him—only to be counterattacked.

Li Fan looked back at Song Hesong, a strange smile creeping across his face.

Song Hesong’s heart jumped; an ominous premonition surged through him.

“Pfft!”

Without warning, Li Fan suddenly spat a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper.

“Senior Brother! Save me!”

Li Fan shouted.
