My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1055: United Extermination of Demonic Evils
Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
Li Fan had already witnessed the terrifying might of the Xuantian Sect’s Dharma King and had been deceived by Mo Rubin once before. However, he never anticipated that the man could reach such heights in such a small window of time.
"If my deductions are correct, his technique likely enables him to inhabit multiple cultivators' bodies at once."
"That Transmitter Chen might very well be another of his masks."
Li Fan felt a tremor in his heart as he considered the implications.
Simultaneously, fresh uncertainties emerged: "If he is indeed the winner..."
"The total vanishing of Shuo Feng and the Xuan Sushang clan could be explained as a scheme to hide his path and confuse my perspective. But what about the Tianxuan Mirror? The fact that so many features were deactivated should suggest the primary body has left, shouldn't it?"
Driven by these lingering doubts, Li Fan quickly questioned Dharma-Transmitter Zhou regarding the strange behavior of the Tianxuan Mirror.
Her explanation provided him with sudden enlightenment.
"The Tianxuan Mirror itself remains functional; it is simply that they appear to be siphoning its power for a clandestine plot."
"They have redirected the vast majority of the Tianxuan Mirror's processing capacity. Consequently, utilities like real-time trading have been shut down by force."
A flicker of indignation crossed Dharma-Transmitter Zhou’s features: "I was wondering what could be so vital that it justified violating the Heavenly Sovereign's mandates on maintaining order. It is now clear that this is the handiwork of those Xuantian Sect devils!"
"Originally, the Tianxuan Mirror was the Xuantian Sect's ultimate sect-suppressing treasure. Even though the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has held it for centuries, we have never truly mastered it. If it returns to the Xuantian Sect's grasp..." The more Dharma-Transmitter Zhou contemplated this, the bleaker her expression became.
"No, I have to go back immediately!"
Dharma-Transmitter Zhou stood up suddenly, preparing to leave. However, Dharma-Transmitter Wei stopped her with a chilling tone.
"Xuantian Sect remnants? Those are just claims without evidence. Currently, they possess immense authority, centered around the five victors who dominate the other Transmitters..."
"In the current eyes of the world, we are the [rebels]."
"Have you forgotten why so many cultivators exist in your world? It was because every opposing element was systematically eliminated from top to bottom."
"Their current hold on power is likely even more absolute than before," Dharma-Transmitter Wei observed with cold logic.
Upon hearing this, Dharma-Transmitter Zhou slowly regained her calm.
"I acted too impulsively."
"I never suspected that the Transmitters hadn't defected, but were instead exploited during a moment of weakness..."
After a heavy silence, Dharma-Transmitter Zhou spoke with bitterness: "What is Jiang doing? How could he watch this happen without acting? Once he saw the situation falling apart, he should have alerted the Immortal Ancestor immediately!"
Transmitter Wei gave a cynical laugh: "Falling apart? That is merely the perspective of those of us who know the truth."
"To the general public, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance appears to be functioning perfectly. As for that man Jiang..."
"He is as stubborn as a mule. Unless a catastrophe threatens to shatter the Xuanhuang Realm entirely, he would never dream of contacting the Immortal Ancestor!"
The white-haired Transmitter’s voice was thick with irritation.
Li Fan’s face was equally grim as he added: "The schemes of these Xuantian Sect devils have surpassed my expectations."
"I initially assumed he was just grabbing some loot during the chaos at the Alliance headquarters. It now appears this monster's goals are far more grand! To have hidden from our hunt for ten thousand years, he certainly possesses remarkable talent."
"Since we face such a difficult foe, I believe a partnership is in order."
Both Dharma-Transmitters shifted their attention to Li Fan.
"Our group is known as the [Federation of All Worlds]. It is a coalition of surviving cultivators from every immortal realm within this Darkest Star Sea who still honor the Master."
"We have no interest in challenging the dominance of your Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance or the Five Elders Association over the primary world. The vast populations within the Xuanhuang Realm’s many minor worlds are enough for us to fulfill our duties to the Master. However, traitors cannot be tolerated." Li Fan spoke with firm conviction.
"Surely neither of you wants to see the Immortal Ancestor’s legacy inherited by these demons?"
The two Dharma-Transmitters looked at each other and gave a small nod of agreement.
"To fix this mess and restore the proper path, our current numbers are indeed lacking. I must ask, what is the actual strength of your Federation of All Worlds?" Dharma-Transmitter Wei inquired cautiously.
Li Fan adopted an air of pride: "Our ranks are filled with elite cultivators who survived various immortal realms. We possess two who are at or near the Longevity Immortal stage. Dao Integration Immortal Sages are numerous. A person of my level is considered quite average within our ranks."
The two Dharma-Transmitters were visibly shaken, though their eyes still betrayed a hint of doubt.
"Naturally, for the task of purging traitors, the Federation will not deploy its entire strength. My department will handle it. But be assured: summoning at least one specialist in the Longevity Immortal realm is entirely possible." Li Fan spoke with absolute certainty.
"How many Dharma-Transmitters on your side are still reachable?" Li Fan changed the subject before they could respond.
Dharma-Transmitter Zhou thought for a moment before answering: "Over the years, four Transmitters have departed the Council for different reasons. Aside from the two of us, the others have vanished. Locating them will be a challenge."
Li Fan frowned immediately upon hearing this.
"Furthermore, after several waves of purges, our remaining influence within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has been stripped to almost nothing. We are currently forced to hide in the shadows..." Dharma-Transmitter Zhou added another grim detail.
"While our Dharma-Transmitter Council has fallen this far, the Mirror Holder line is in even worse shape. Under the leadership of Mirror Holder Cang, almost all of them have sided with the Xuantian Sect remnants..."
Dharma-Transmitter Zhou went silent after her report.
The white-haired Wei then shared his perspective: "However, we are not completely without hope."
"As it stands, there are two paths to changing our fate. First, we must find a way to contact the [True Illusory Sages]. They are one of the failsafes established by the Immortal Ancestor and could provide a killing blow."
"But the True Illusory Sages are hidden within the Museum of Divine Treasure. Currently, every entrance to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters is undoubtedly locked down. Getting to them will be incredibly difficult."
Dharma-Transmitter Zhou agreed: "For the past two years, none of my associates have been able to move freely in or out of the headquarters. They are subjected to intense questioning and must be moved under guard."
"Then there is the second option: find Jiang directly," Dharma-Transmitter Wei said slowly.
"Jiang remains in his Returning Ruins small world throughout the year and ignores almost everything unless it involves the security of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. However..."
A glint of amusement appeared in the elder's eyes: "If a crisis capable of destroying the world strikes the Xuanhuang Realm, he will be forced to step in and fix it."
"Protecting the stability and safety of the Xuanhuang Realm was the final command given to him by the Sovereign Immortal Ancestor before his departure."
