My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1007: Tianxuan Sees All Living Beings

Li Fan immersed himself in the vast data of the Tianxuan Mirror, feeling much like a child with a brand-new toy. He perused the information without restriction, his only regret being the insufficient grade of the Dao Deviation Stone within his sea of consciousness. Had it been stronger, he could have archived every single detail he encountered.

Before him lay the classified secrets of the cultivation world—knowledge that every Cultivator guarded with their life, now completely exposed to his eyes. But the revelations didn't stop there.

He found the exhaustive transaction logs of every material ever traded in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance market since record-keeping began. The sheer volume of the list was enough to make his head spin. Even more precious were the data files regarding every Cultivator who had utilized [Enlightenment]; the exact cultivation efficiency of every individual was laid bare for him to see.

...

The Tianxuan Mirror was an infinite ocean of treasures, and Li Fan remained submerged in its depths, finding it nearly impossible to pull himself away. However, the sheer scale of the data was overwhelming, growing larger with every passing second. Mastering it all was a feat beyond reach.

He focused his efforts on the most critical records first. Li Fan was well aware that his browsing was likely being monitored by the Tianxuan Mirror itself. Yet, he remained unconcerned. Most of this data would be useless in his current life; its true value would be realized throughout his future reincarnations within the Xuanhuang Realm.

Li Fan acted like a man digging a trench at the shoreline, slowly but surely diverting the ocean's water into his own reservoir. Though the work was tedious, his progress was unwavering. Tucking the small Tianxuan Mirror into his robes to maintain the data stream, he quietly exited the Bamboo Sea Cave mansion and made his way back to the Spiritwood Realm.

He only paused the recording when the sheer volume of information threatened to shatter the mid-grade Dao Deviation Stone in his sea of consciousness. Once settled, he began to investigate the current status of Dao Deviation Stones held by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

"A single fragment of the Stone Mother." "Three at top-grade, sixteen at high-grade." "Mid-grade? Wait..." "There are no mid-grade stones left?"

...

Initially, Li Fan suspected a recording error. However, after several meticulous checks, the data remained unchanged. He paused to reflect and soon grasped the reason behind this anomaly.

Since all Dao Deviation Stones originated from the Stone Mother and could be merged to reach higher tiers, the logic was clear. "The Cultivators within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who understand the nature of these stones must have already gathered every one in circulation. The moment a new one appears, it is likely snatched up immediately."

"No wonder I couldn't find one for sale even with contribution points," he muttered. Li Fan’s gaze sharpened as he scrutinized the list of current owners. As he read the names, a feeling of pure absurdity washed over him.

"The fragment of the Stone Mother is held by a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

The records for the top-grade and high-grade stones told a similar story, listing only Foundation Establishment or Golden Core Cultivators as owners. To any experienced observer, these identities were obviously fakes. "A commoner carrying a priceless jade only invites disaster; such treasures are not meant for those at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages to hold. These aliases are clearly meant to deflect the curiosity of greedy rivals."

"But as long as they exist, there are tracks to follow. The Tianxuan Mirror records every footprint of the past. They cannot hide from me."

Li Fan dropped his facade of ignorance and commanded the Tianxuan Mirror to reveal the comprehensive histories of these twenty 'shell' cultivators. He examined everything: their first login, their cultivation patterns, their private messages, their trading partners, and even the people who had recommended them. From there, he pulled data on those secondary contacts.

It was like weaving a massive web that grew larger with every connection. By the time he reached the fifth level of the hierarchy, the network had expanded to include over a hundred thousand Cultivators. "I can discard many of these immediately," Li Fan noted, rubbing his aching temples to ease the mental strain. After a brief rest, he resumed his search.

Through a process of constant comparison and elimination, he winnowed the list down to less than a hundred individuals. Their ranks varied from Nascent Soul to the Dao Integration stage.

"Directly investigating them would be a headache. I'll start by tracking their movements within the Tianxuan Mirror and then have Mo Rubin conduct a discreet inquiry."

Li Fan quickly formulated a strategy. Nearly all of these hundred targets held positions within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. For a lone cultivator, reaching them was an impossible task; without the right status, he might never even stand in their presence. However, an investigation led by a Dharma Transmitter would be an entirely different matter.

"The Dao Deviation Stone is simply too precious. If the Taiyan Sect’s Stone Mother hadn't been digitized already, I might have been tempted to simply seize it by force, regardless of the fallout."

But when he remembered that streak of white light he had seen during the apocalypse of his 115th life, Li Fan regained his composure. An entity capable of fleeing a True Immortal's destruction of a world was far beyond his current power to confront.

...

The days that followed were productive for Li Fan. The Final Dissociation Disc worked at full capacity, deconstructing the All Spirits Return to Numbers Great Formation and generating new variations. Simultaneously, the Dao Deviation Stone organized and filtered the massive influx of data from the Tianxuan Mirror, keeping only what was truly vital.

Li Fan himself drifted through the virtual space of the Tianxuan Mirror like a ghost. He was invisible to all, yet he observed everyone. He watched their private talks, their training, and their business deals. Beneath the anonymity of the mirror, Cultivators were far more honest—and often more vile—than they were in the physical world.

Li Fan saw the true nature of people. He watched friends who acted like brothers turn around and curse each other the moment they were alone. He saw many like the old He Zhenghao, desperate for quick wealth, who gambled everything on 'investments' only to lose it all. They would swear off their greed in tears, only to dive back into the same traps the moment they scraped together a few more stones.

He also observed those who had given up. Realizing that their talent would never lead them to the peak of Cultivation, they abandoned their dreams. They performed the simplest, safest chores just to earn enough to stay within the Tianxuan Mirror. In this digital realm, there was no sickness or natural disaster. Without the burden of ambition, they lived lives of quiet, easy comfort.

As Li Fan watched these countless lives unfold, his own perspective began to shift in subtle, quiet ways.
