My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1254 - 1206: The Source of the Immortal Calamity

According to common sense, if they were merely relics, Li Fan should not have sensed any aura of living beings from them.

But these two bones in front of him…

They suddenly made Li Fan’s heart tighten, as if he were being watched by some presence.

The stone statues, incarnations of the bones, seemed as if they could come to life at any moment, with strands of strange aura seeping out of them.

Li Fan made a snap decision, ending the examination through the Immeasurable Mirror without another word.

The scene before his eyes changed abruptly.

The bones disappeared, and what he saw were still those two seemingly ordinary stone statues.

The sense of crisis in Li Fan’s heart slowly faded.

"Senior…" Sun Luyao was frightened by the scene that had just unfolded and was somewhat at a loss.

"Tell your brother to stay away from those two statues," Li Fan instructed calmly on the surface, but inside, his mind was already stirring with raging waves.

Were those two bones really the Great Magician’s?

From their external appearance, they most likely belonged to the Tiandu Grandmaster.

But why would he, with a Demi-Immortal body, have two of his bones in the One Beginning Sect?

"Could it be that he was injured so severely that he couldn’t even reclaim his own bones taken by other cultivators?"

This thought flashed through Li Fan’s spirit consciousness in an instant.

But Li Fan quickly questioned himself with a big question mark.

Could it be possible?

The power enveloping the whole Yuandao State, capable of devouring ten years of time, suggested that the Great Magician had not yet fallen.

The might of a Demi-Immortal, no matter how severely injured, was not something cultivators below the celestial level could contend with.

Let alone the Ancient Law of Immortality of old times.

"Unless…"

"Immeasurable Mirror.

Li Fan turned to Sun Luyao, who was the new Incarnate of the Infinite Mirror Spirit, cowering.

When the Sun brothers initially found the damaged Immeasurable Mirror, the spirit of the Immortal Instrument within it had already disappeared, giving the two mortals an opportunity.

From the Obliteration Storm Calamity that emerged from the Immeasurable Mirror not long ago, it seemed that due to battling with this disaster, the Artifact Spirit dissipated, and the Immeasurable suffered damage.

"Immeasurable Mirror is an ancient Immortal Instrument from Xuanhuang bestowed by the Immortal World to the Infinity Sect. Even if the Immortal World perished due to unspeakable tribulations, it should not have affected the Immeasurable Mirror. Yet, paradoxically, this calamity, which should not appear in the mortal realm, played out within the Immeasurable Mirror…"

In a flash, Li Fan remembered at the edge of the Star Sea, when a Sacred Embryo Incarnate stealthily entered the Mystic Immortal Boat, it also brought the invisible disasters of the Abyss Star Ocean into it, leading to the tragic deaths of several cultivators.

"Spread…"

"Beyond Xuanhuang…"

In the history of Xuanhuang World, the only known entity to have possibly made contact with the Immortal World and came from beyond Xuanhuang World was the Heavenly Capital Grand Master himself.

"From this perspective, it’s possible that both the Immeasurable Mirror and the One Beginning Sect were affected by the Grandmaster."

With the past events here being too perplexing and the clues currently in his hands too scarce, Li Fan could only speculate as much.

"However, if the speculation is more or less correct, then perhaps the trouble with the Immeasurable Mirror may be resolved," Li Fan mused, his eyes flickering.

Ji Hongdao and Sun Luyuan learned of the risks in this place and wisely chose to leave the secret room temporarily.

However, regarding what to do next, the two of them had some disagreements.

"The relics of the Tiandu Grandmaster are no ordinary matter. We should report this to the Immortal Alliance soon," Ji Hongdao said solemnly.

However, Sun Luyuan explicitly expressed his opposition, "Brother Ji is confused! The Grandmaster is said to be a teacher of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans. If the news reaches the Five Elders Organization, they will surely spare no expense to seize it back. A great war is inevitable, causing misery to living beings! With the current state of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, can you guarantee that this matter won’t leak?"

Ji Hongdao was at a loss for words.

Sun Luyuan continued, "Considering the Dharma Transmitters only have the Heavenly Sovereign in view..."

"Even if it is the bone of a Demi-Immortal, they probably won’t have any reverence. Once it’s in the Immortal Alliance, the outcome will be nothing other than it being used for research or placed in the Museum of Divine Artifacts for public display and guidance."

"Moreover, the Grandmaster is a legendary Demi-Immortal. It’s not even certain if he has perished. If we desecrate it today, we might face his retribution later," Sun Luyuan concluded, his face full of earnestness.

Ji Hongdao felt somewhat helpless, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Leave it as it is," Sun Luyuan declared emphatically.

"Brother Ji, think about it, even if it is the bone of a Demi-Immortal, what benefit does it have for us? With the New Method at hand, longevity is almost hopeless, let alone achieving immortality."

"Taking it might bring catastrophic troubles in the future, yet there are no tangible benefits. Why bother?"

...

In the end, Ji Hongdao was persuaded.

The fundamental reason was that these were merely two bones.

And they were just the bones of a Demi-Immortal who had not succeeded in ascending.

Sun Luyuan was right; for them as Integration Cultivators, it was not very useful.

Of course, if they were indeed the bones of a real Immortal, the choice would certainly have been different.

"Although we are not taking it now, we can’t let others take it away either. Brother Ji, since your Formation Path Cultivation allows you to manipulate creation, why not use an Array Technique to completely seal off this site? Add the existing Protective Array here to ensure absolute security," Sun Luyuan suggested further.

This was him clarifying his stance.

Sun Luyuan knew almost nothing about Array Techniques, but as long as Ji Hongdao set up the arrays here, it would be impossible for him to secretly come and take the relics by himself.

Ji Hongdao wasn’t coy and began forming the array right away.

Once the site was sealed again, during their return, Sun Luyuan spoke in a profound tone, "If either of us achieves Zheng Changshen, we should take out these relics and study them. Perhaps we could even advance further."

Ji Hongdao smiled wryly and shook his head, not taking it seriously.

If they had talked about the Unity-Path before their youth when they still harbored ambitions and ideals about achieving the Ancient Law of Immortality.

Now, having reached the Realm of Unification, they had long given up the notion of immortality.

The Four Steps of He Dao, each step as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

The more they understood, the more despair filled their hearts.

The two fell silently for a long time.

After a long while, Sun Luyuan sighed deeply, "It’s hard to imagine, what kind of astonishing talent it takes to reverse reason and succeed."

"In all these years at our Immortal Alliance, apart from the Heavenly Sovereign, there has been only one person. And his whereabouts are still unknown."

"If there were one more, our situation at the Immortal Alliance would be vastly different."

"Tell me, why does the Five Elders Organization have five individuals who achieved Longevity? Could it really be that they have higher talents than people from our Immortal Alliance, achieving what we can’t?"

This was also an unresolved doubt in the hearts of countless cultivators of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Hearing Sun Luyuan’s lament, as if reminded of something, Ji Hongdao hesitated to speak.

"The two of us as brothers, is there really anything we can’t discuss?" Sun Luyuan teased.
