My Longevity Simulation Chapter 1110: Death and Life Reveal Heavenly Sovereign

Previously on My Longevity Simulation...
Li Fan pondered a long-forgotten calamity that once afflicted the Xuanhuang Realm, weakening cultivators through bizarre accidents, as recounted by the Du'e Sect's paper figures. The figures attempted to brainwash him with vivid scenes of devastation, fostering false gratitude for the current peace, but Li Fan feigned compliance while resisting via the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra, thereby gaining partial control over the World-Observing Divine Eye for hazy surveillance through scattered paper figures. Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance deployed ten Dao Integration cultivators and three Dharma-Transmitters to encircle the True Immortal remnant corpse, which absorbed the black puppet's remaining darkness power and escaped into the Essence Devouring White Mist. Aboard the Samantabhadra True Boat, the pursuers followed the remnant's deliberate trail through the disorienting fog, suspecting a trap yet pressing on, until they emerged before an endless ocean floating with countless corpses that struck terror into their hearts.

All these bodies were encased within translucent pale-blue ice crystals. Peering through the ice, the dying looks on the faces of these corpses from their final moments remained faintly visible. Rage, terror, confusion... They appeared so realistic, almost as though the dead were breathing still.

A thick array of ice crystal sarcophagi crowded every view, covering the vast black sea completely.

Forget the handful of Dao Integration experts; the trio of top Dharma-Transmitters also shivered with dread and stood mute in terror at the sight unfolding ahead. Stunned by this horrifying display, when they snapped back to reality, the True Immortal's remains that had drawn them to this spot had already disappeared entirely!

"This... what kind of eerie hellhole is this place?!"

Following a heavy quiet, in the midst of the team, the Dao Integration cultivator called Zhu Gongchuan couldn't hold back and uttered a word. Worried about waking the resting cultivators nearby, Zhu Gongchuan kept his tone whisper-low. What's more, a subtle tremor of terror echoed from the depths of his soul.

It wasn't like they'd never encountered the deceased before. Yet countless bodies, clustered together in this spot, each holding onto their intense final expressions... The impact of such a vision went way beyond any description.

Zhu Gongchuan's query went unanswered. The team glided quietly across the Sea of Death, and even after flying for a solid half day, no boundary came into sight.

"Roughly speaking, the count of bodies here tops two billion... I suspect that the total of cultivators and common folk alive today in the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's Outer Prefectures falls short by a lot. Precisely..."

"These folks aren't natives of the Xuanhuang Realm. Or to put it better, most of them hail from outside the Xuanhuang Realm," Dharma-Transmitter Wei stated deliberately at that moment. "Based on their attire patterns, they originate from various cultivation worlds. But for reasons we can't grasp, they've all ended up frozen in ice right here."

"Countless remains, concealed deep in our Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's lands. And all this time, we've stayed utterly oblivious." The other Dharma-Transmitter Chu's face twisted into a deeply grim mask.

"Why would that True Immortal's remains guide us to this spot? Is it planning to freeze us into the same fate?"

"Impossible. We've lingered inside this area for ages without facing any assault."

The team whispered their speculations, but the True Immortal's remains' true intentions stayed a total mystery to them.

"We should keep looking around a little."

Thus, they continued soaring above the Sea of Death for an extended period. At last, Dharma-Transmitter Wei spotted a hint: "All these frozen cadavers appear to arrange into a gigantic array."

"An array?" Upon catching those words, the team shared looks of surprise, then examined their surroundings with renewed focus.

"An setup this enormous has to hold the might to shatter worlds. Might this be some hidden scheme from the Five Elders Association aimed at wiping out our Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance all these years?"

Not all in the group excelled at arrays, and with no answers emerging from their thoughts, wild guesses began to flood their minds.

"The array's design is incredibly intricate; catching just a glimpse without the whole view, we can't deduce its real function. Right now, the key thing is to alert the Alliance headquarters about this find. Staying longer here just makes my soul feel more uneasy," Dharma-Transmitter Chu declared solemnly.

"Fortunately, this array doesn't target us intruders. It's not a binding array or a lethal one; once we pinpoint the array's hub, escaping should be straightforward," Dharma-Transmitter Wei offered his assessment too.

As the pair of Dharma-Transmitters voiced their views, the rest of the team inwardly exhaled in quiet relief.

They hovered within the array for a few days more before finally uncovering its heart. Traversing the heart, they'd expected to emerge back into the white fog, yet they surfaced over a strange sea instead. In stark contrast to the lifeless, iced-over black waters before, a briny, moist wind here brought a subtle thrill, while seabird cries rang out without cease around them.

Occasionally, fish groups would jump above the waves or flash beneath the surface. Bursting with vitality, the vista felt invigorating and heartening.

After a short stun, the team swept their eyes over the area and detected no pressing threats. This eased the Dao Integration experts a touch. However, the leading three Dharma-Transmitters turned more solemn than ever.

Dharma-Transmitter Wei creased his forehead, staring far off toward the heavens, muttering under his breath: "Separate realms, flipsides of one essence."

"One side thrives with life, the other with demise."

Dharma-Transmitter Chu cut in: "Wrong, demise fuels life, and life collects demise. This represents..."

They shared a look, horror etching their features. "Reversing life and death?" Without a sound, they held back those four words together. Rather, they linked minds through secret transmission.

"Ah, so that's the case. Does this spot mark the dwelling of that Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign?"

"No surprise His pace at flipping heaven and earth's laws to claim Heavenly Sovereign rank was so shocking. He'd concealed himself long ago amid this white fog, building on the array to master life and death principles flawlessly!"

"So, what's the tie between that True Immortal's remains and the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign?"

Solving one puzzle only sparked fresh questions in their heads.

"Based on what's happening now, they don't appear as partners."

"They uncovered this dwelling ages back, so maybe they brought us here on purpose to test the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign's secrets?"

The duo sank into contemplation. Despite long reflection, no solid answer formed.

"Locating the array's heart in this lively realm ought to let us depart." Lacking any breakthrough from their talks, and a full scan revealing nothing about the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign's real nature, the three Dharma-Transmitters chose to pull back temporarily and scheme later.

Yet right when they geared up to depart, Dharma-Transmitter Wei halted briefly, like a sudden insight hit him.

"Reversing life and death, reversing life and death... The vast array stands finished, but the fallen cultivators haven't stirred. What's actually come back to life is the [world]?"

"Should that hold true, then the Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign's actual aim is..."

Dharma-Transmitter Wei went ashen, thunderstruck in appearance.

"Flee!" he ordered without hesitation.

Still, it felt like his mind had been read. A shape made purely of white fog materialized without a sound, barring the team's way. Confronting this abrupt foe, possibly the very Rebirth Heavenly Sovereign they'd sought, everyone braced intensely. Conflict loomed close.

Dharma-Transmitter Wei fixed his gaze on the shape briefly. Moments after, disbelief sparked across his eyes.

"It turns out to be..."

Before his words ended, the white fog shape suddenly unveiled its eyes. Boundless white fog erupted from within, swallowing heaven and earth alike. In a flash, it swallowed up the whole Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance squad.

Ten Dao Integration cultivators alongside three Dharma-Transmitters. A mighty lineup like that couldn't fight back at all and got lost in the white fog instantly.
