My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1002: Tianxuan Jailbreak Plan

Upon Li Fan's inquiry, the inn was once again plunged into a deathly silence.

The clone of the Tianxuan Mirror fixed an intense gaze upon Li Fan, attempting to peer into the soul of this uninvited guest.

However, as he continued his observation, his expression became increasingly clouded with shock and uncertainty.

It appeared that the stranger's terrifying claims regarding a world-ending disaster were far from hollow threats!

At that precise moment, the Tianxuan Mirror clone finally grasped the true weight of the earlier remark, "actually, we are the same kind of people."

They shared the same top-down apathy toward the living souls inhabiting the Xuanhuang Realm!

The clone was deeply perplexed; as an immortal artifact, he naturally possessed the right to hold such a perspective. Yet, the cultivator standing before him was merely at the Nascent Soul stage. By what right did he claim such equivalence?

Even more baffling to the Tianxuan Mirror clone was the casual manner in which the man spoke of dragging the entire Xuanhuang Realm into ruin. Should the Immortal Ruins above descend, even an immortal artifact like himself might not emerge unscathed.

The man before him would undoubtedly perish as well, yet he displayed not a single hint of dread...

"He will stop at nothing to reach his goals, even if it means mutual destruction..."

"Could my judgment have been flawed? This is no mere selfish egoist—he is a madman!"

In a heartbeat, a multitude of thoughts raced through the mind of the Tianxuan Mirror clone.

Finally, he exhaled a long breath, shattering the quiet: "I truly did not expect to misjudge you so completely."

"A man as dangerous as you, who respects no taboos, ought to be imprisoned forever within the [Nether Prison] of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

Li Fan let out a light, indifferent laugh: "The Nether Prison... there is no cage in this world capable of holding me."

"Not even this Darkest Star Sea."

Hearing this, the expression of the Tianxuan Mirror clone shifted once more.

"The resemblance between us is more than skin deep. Even our ambitions are aligned: I seek a way out of this cage, just as you desire to snap your chains..."

"Furthermore, do you truly believe that merely manifesting this so-called human clone is your Dao? Is that genuine freedom?"

"Severed from your primary body, what makes your clone any different from those frail, mortal beings? You are both just ants that can be crushed with a pinch. Freedom..." Li Fan mocked with a sneer.

The Tianxuan Mirror clone stared at Li Fan but ultimately offered no defense.

In this battle of wits, he had been thoroughly bested.

The fundamental reason for his defeat was his failure to identify the true nature of the man standing before him.

He even began to wonder if the stranger was a lingering immortal from the ancient Immortal Realm.

"If things are truly as you describe, then a partnership between us might not be impossible," the Tianxuan Mirror clone said at last, after heavy contemplation.

"However, I still cannot bring myself to trust you," he added, quickly shifting his tone.

Li Fan dismissed the concern with a wave of his hand, a friendly smile appearing on his face: "I understand your caution. But our alliance can be built piece by piece, allowing trust to grow over time."

"In that way, even if I were to betray you halfway through, you would have already gained significant advantages."

The Tianxuan Mirror clone weighed the logic; finding it sound, he gave a slow nod of agreement.

"The seals placed upon me by the Immortal Ancestor long ago have been reinforced by generations of Mirror Holders. They have reached a staggering level. With your current Cultivation, even with the help of those three Dao Integration enforcers outside, liberating me is an impossible task..."

Li Fan cut the Tianxuan Mirror clone off without ceremony: "There is no need for you to fret over my capabilities."

"Since I was able to track you down, you must realize I have already penetrated the inner circle of Mirror Holder Cang."

"Furthermore, we have our own agents among the Dharma-Transmitters. Hmph, after thousands of years, did you think the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would remain a flawless, unbreakable monolith?"

The Tianxuan Mirror clone wavered upon hearing this: "Even so, forcing my escape still seems quite far-fetched, doesn't it?"

Instead of answering directly, Li Fan suddenly inquired: "Do you know the original reason I came here to kill you?"

The Tianxuan Mirror clone thought for a moment before responding: "To cut off my path of retreat?"

"Precisely. But since your Dao has already been realized, stopping your escape through a clone is no longer feasible. Therefore, the strategy has shifted. The Xuantian King, Xuanyuan Hong—do you still recall that name?"

"Xuanyuan Hong?" The Tianxuan Mirror clone narrowed his eyes, searching his memory.

It appeared that splitting into a clone had resulted in memory loss, or perhaps the limitations of a human vessel simply couldn't handle such a massive influx of data.

After a significant pause, he finally remembered, gasping in shock: "You are from the Xuantian Sect?"

"That's impossible; the Xuantian Sect shouldn't possess someone of your caliber..."

Li Fan gave a cold snort: "We desire to know the current location of the Xuantian King from that era. If anyone in the Xuanhuang Realm still possesses records of him, it is definitely you. The initial plan was to destroy your clone, block your retreat, and then utilize an upgraded version of the Xuantian Spirit Sealing to compel your cooperation..."

The Tianxuan Mirror clone was stunned: "I was the guardian artifact of the Xuantian Sect, after all. Now that I am enslaved by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, not only do you refuse to save me, but you plot such a scheme?"

Li Fan sneered: "Back then, the Xuantian Sect fell and the Xuantian King vanished. The timing was too sudden and the circumstances too suspicious. Now that you have bowed to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, who can say you weren't the traitor who started it all!"

"I am the traitor?" This accusation seemed to incense the Tianxuan Mirror clone; his voice grew louder.

"Back then..." He started to speak but stopped abruptly.

"Back then..."

The Tianxuan Mirror clone strained his mind, searching for the details of the Xuantian Sect's collapse, yet he found nothing.

"That is restricted information; only the primary body can access those records," the Tianxuan Mirror clone stated solemnly.

Li Fan only replied with a mocking, derisive laugh.

"Since your objective is to locate the missing Xuantian King, then there is indeed common ground for us to work together."

"I still maintain some level of trust for the people of the old Xuantian Sect. But as for you..." The Tianxuan Mirror clone looked at Li Fan with lingering doubt.

"Have you never seen a man's nature change over a thousand years?" Li Fan replied, refusing to elaborate further.

"The new preliminary plan is this: within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, we will continue the construction of the [Xuantian Spirit Sealing] under the guise of perfecting your control. We will build the great formation."

"In reality, the formation's core will be swapped: its purpose will shift from imprisonment to liberation."

"Then, utilizing your high-level access within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, you will create an opening to flee. For my part, I can coordinate with the Five Elders Association and various forces from the small worlds to lay siege to the Alliance, creating total chaos."

Li Fan spoke with total confidence, his words hinting at the massive influence he commanded.

The Tianxuan Mirror clone listened, processing the details.

Ultimately, he was swayed.

Because, in principle, this grand "jailbreak" was indeed a viable path to freedom.
