My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 432 - Chapter 432: Chapter 406: United in One Heart

Chapter 432: Chapter 406: United in One Heart

“There’s something off about this world.”

In Sky-Spirit State, after Ji Hongdao took flight in his giant Dustcrosser Boat, Li Fan lost the sensing of the Formless Killing Machine.

That didn’t matter much as he already accomplished his initial goal of learning about everything happening within Sky-Spirit State.

As he pondered over what he had just witnessed, he felt puzzled.

If it makes sense that the Celestial Dharma Bearer disappeared and that the Unified Heart Celestial Master made her move to probe…

What happened next was baffling.

“Ji Hongdao activated the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array, massacring all the cultivators within the state in an instant.”

“This is a statement. It shows the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals that lies beneath the Spirit Locking Formation possesses the ability to eradicate the majority of cultivators instantly.”

“Using this as a threat, demanding Sister Zhao to back off.”

“As an Immortal Sovereign, she just… left.”

“Would beings in the Immortal Realm be so concerned with the life and death of the ants beneath them? Shouldn’t they be ‘indifferent to others’ fates’ after achieving transcendence?”

Suddenly, Li Fan recalled a past realization.

“The number of cultivators should not be too small…”

“It seems that ensuring the existence of a certain number of cultivators is more important to the Immortal Sovereign than I thought.”

“But why is that?”

What struck his curiosity even more was the anomaly that occurred in the Xuan Huang World after the cultivators in the Sky-Spirit State perished.

Like portents of an imminent apocalypse, the entire world trembled.

All living beings within the world felt an unexplainable fear.

Even Li Fan, who possessed [Real] and could restart reality at any moment, also felt it.

Given the sharp conflict between the Xuan Huang World and the cultivators, it’s almost irreconcilable.

Logically speaking, the death of more cultivators should be better for the world.

But evidently, this is not the case.

What could be the reason?

Upon reflection, due to lack of clues, Li Fan couldn’t find a satisfactory answer at this time.

He also thought of the [Unified Heart Celestial Master] he had witnessed.

This was his first time seeing a person of the Immortal Realm.

The attack of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array was easily blocked.

The Unity Path Expert, Ji Hongdao, didn’t even dare look at her straight.

She was indeed profoundly powerful.

“Unified Heart is presumably similar to [Transmit Technique], representing the Principal of Heaven and Earth that Sister Zhao is reversing.”

“What is a unified heart?”

Li Fan frowned.

“A unified heart could mean being ‘focused’ or ‘concentrated’, or ‘having a shared heart’.”

“Being ‘focused’ certainly doesn’t make sense. ‘Shared heart’…”

Li Fan mused.

He remembered Sister Zhao’s odd words.

“You’re wasting your talents in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. Why don’t you join me instead!”

Join…

“Me?!”

Li Fan seemed to understand something.

He thought about the thousands of monks from the Five Elders’ Organization who attacked.

Their expressions remained unchanged throughout.

Without direction, they were speaking and acting in a bafflingly coordinated way.

Even in the face of death, there was not a hint of fear.

After their mass demise, there were no corresponding celestial phenomena.

“Heart of the masses… unified heart?”

Li Fan felt an awakening.

“All creatures in the world are born unique. In the world, they are all individual entities.”

“This is the Principle of Heaven and Earth.”

“If this Principle is reversed…”

“You have me within you, and I possess you within me. Essentially, we are one.”

Li Fan was suddenly reminded of the ‘collective consciousness’, ‘joint entity’ he once heard about in his previous world.

A large collective, while seemingly comprised of various life forms…

Their essence is a community sharing all perceptions.

“It seems the path Sister Zhao practices might be this?”

“To assimilate all creatures in the world?”

Li Fan suddenly felt something was amiss.

Sister Zhao becoming the Immortal Sovereign implies she has successfully reversed the Principle of Heaven and Earth.

Yet, clearly, the majority of the cultivators in the Xuan Huang World have not been assimilated by her.

“Does that mean the principles reversed by the Unified Heart Celestial Master only apply to specific regions?”

Li Fan ventured a guess.

“Is the ‘theorem’ Ji Hongdao mentioned the necessary step to achieving the status of Immortal Sovereign?”

With a glimpse into Sky-Spirit State, Li Fan once again had a peek into the highest secret of this world.

But to truly understand the implications behind it, he still needed more information.

Setting this aside for now, Li Fan returned to the Heavenly Judgment Immortal City in the TianXuan Mirror.

He submitted an application to visit the Museum of Divine Artifacts at the Immortal Alliance Headquarters for free.

This is one of the benefits of his current authority level of thirty.

Soon, his application was approved, and he could choose the visiting time within the year.

Li Fan chose to visit immediately.

After receiving a message that his guide would pick him up soon and asked him to wait patiently inside the Heavenly Judgement City…

Li Fan heaved a sigh of relief.

His actions were not prompted by leisure or interest in seeing the various treasures stored in the Divine Collection Pavilion at the time of his life’s end.

He wanted a safe place to take refuge.

Even though Ji Hongdao didn’t make a move against those young Array Masters in Sky-Spirit State, instead sparing their lives…

Having witnessed the massacre of all the cultivators in the state and known the secret of the Spirit Locking Formation’s structure…

Their fate wouldn’t look too good.

And those Array Masters who didn’t show up for some reason would likely be eliminated one by one next.

Li Fan could restart reality with [Real] at any time.

But he needed a little more time to wrap up things in this world.

At least, he would wait until Xiao Heng and the others exited the Medicine King Cauldron.

As of now, there’s nowhere safer than the Immortal Alliance Headquarters for Li Fan.

First, the Immortal Alliance Headquarters has its defense mechanism, it’s highly unlikely for Ji Hongdao and the others to strike there directly.

Second, it creates a false impression.

I’m already inside the Immortal Alliance Headquarters, safe as a tortoise in a jar. Would they still worry about me escaping?

Undoubtedly, this would let Ji Hongdao and the others lower their guard and start processing the remaining targets first.

They would deal with Li Fan later.

While Li Fan was waiting for his guide…

Within the Medicine King Cauldron in the Deep Abyss of Cangwu…

Xiao Heng and the others were assisting Ling Huchang, opening one sealed door after another…

Removing the bodies within for burial.

Back in the day, in order to save the Medicine King Cauldron from falling into the [Immortal Ruins], Liu Ruchen not only sacrificed himself and Elder Huang…

But also used the lives of hundreds of sleep-intoxicated disciples as fuel.

Only then did he manage to drag the Medicine King Cauldron out of the abyss.

Seeing the shriveled bodies of his former comrades, Ling Huchang’s face was cloaked with uncontrollable grief.

After they removed all the valuable items from the bodies…

And cremated them, Ling Huchang declared solemnly, “I want to rebuild the Medicine King Sect.”

Xiao Heng and the others exchanged glances, couldn’t help but say, “Friend Ling Hu, times have changed…”

Ling Huchang raised his hand to interrupt them: “I know, laws cannot be cultivated concurrently now.”

“That’s why I won’t wake up those disciples still in slumber, who practiced the same technique as me, and the elders of the Sect.”
