My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 467: Chapter 439: The Hidden Sage of the Empire

“This is…”

“Did He Zhenghao break through to the Final Stage Foundation Establishment?”

After a slight sense, Li Fan appeared surprised.

“It’s only been a couple of months, and he seems to be progressing faster than he did in his previous life.”

“What on earth happened?”

After investigating the surveillance images of He Zhenghao stored in the Transformation Crystal Body, Li Fan couldn’t help but chuckle with surprise.

Recently, He Zhenghao really seems to be riding the winds of success.

The news of him defying fate with the guidance of a “Heavenly Machine Sect predecessor” has indeed spread widely in Misthaven Ocean.

Because he began cultivating “The Mountain-Seating Secret” long ago, He Zhenghao had begun making advantageous connections and expanding his network.

And because he indeed had a natural talent for array techniques, his relationship with the Array Masters at the Array Strategy Hall was not bad.

So, don’t underestimate him just because he’s a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. His personal network is indeed impressive.

In his previous life, Li Fan managed to get a job in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, thanks to He Zhenghao’s arrangements!

This time, by happy coincidence, He Zhenghao switched to refining a Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique that was extremely compatible with him.

Everyone could see that as long as nothing major changes, it’s almost certain that He Zhenghao will achieve the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm.

A Nascent Soul Array Master who is also adept at social communication!

The way people see He Zhenghao now is indeed very different.

There’s an endless stream of people coming to visit, and He Zhenghao warmly receives everyone with a smile on his face.

He was thrilled by the numerous gifts he received, and his cultivation was progressing rapidly, so much so that he quickly broke through to the Final Stage Foundation Establishment.

During this process, the cultivators who came to visit inevitably began to probe He Zhenghao for information about that “Ancient Sect of Heavenly Secrets Monk”.

After all, who wouldn’t be envious of someone who doubled their worth overnight?

If they could also grab onto his coattails…

In the beginning, He Zhenghao managed to deflect their queries with excuses like “I haven’t been in contact with him for a long time” and “I haven’t seen this senior since then”.

But later, as the number of inquisitive cultivators increased and their status became higher and higher, He Zhenghao gradually found it harder to withstand.

Because he steadfastly refused to disclose any information about the Heavenly Machine Sect cultivator, some cultivators began to express dissatisfaction.

Accusations that He Zhenghao was “hoarding” began to increase.

Even Chu Ming, the Nascent Soul Monk from the Governance Hall, whom He Zhenghao found through his connections to help Li Fan join the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, began to quiz He Zhenghao after failing to contact Li Fan.

Poor He Zhenghao, he really didn’t know where Li Fan went!

He couldn’t connect via the TianXuan Mirror.

He didn’t even leave a Communication Talisman.

He was truly anxious about the increasing pressure from more and more cultivators.

He almost wished he could go back two months and give himself a good slap.

Serve him right for needlessly showing off everywhere!

Seeing the constant greetings from He Zhenghao in the TianXuan Mirror, Li Fan smiled.

“Let this situation simmer a bit longer, then the atmosphere will be just right.”

“Five million contribution points will be enough for me to carry out the first stage of the plan.”

“But for now, let Daoist He bear it a while longer.”

Li Fan then sensed the situation on Foundation Establishment Master’s side.

Li Chenfeng had already returned.

With him was a veiled woman in a green dress.

Li Chenfeng and the others showed great respect for this woman, referring to her as the [Saint Master].

Ever since she arrived in the Xuan Huang World, she hadn’t left the secret room on the island.

Whenever Li Chenfeng went in and out of the secret room, Li Fan got a glimpse of her playing with a device similar to a celestial sphere in the secret room.

“Saint Master?”

“Interesting. It just so happens that the agreed three months have passed. Time for me, as the [Envoy of United Federation of All Realms], to meet her.”

Li Fan didn’t sense any danger from the woman in the green dress.

On the contrary, he faintly felt a sense of familiarity.

This familiar feeling was very faint. Even after Li Fan searched through the memories stored in the Huadao Stone, he couldn’t find where it came from.

This made Li Fan even more intrigued.

Changing into the appearance of the day, he hurried towards the target location.

Before long, he arrived above the island.

Upon looking carefully, Li Chenfeng and the others were already waiting at the door.

“Senior, please follow us,” Li Chenfeng said quietly, leading Li Fan into the secret room.

Li Fan appeared calm, but his heart was vigilant.

Looking at the woman in the distance whose face he couldn’t clearly see, he asked, “Who is this?”

“I am an old woman entrusted by the imperial daughter to verify the existence of the so-called [Immortal Ruins].” Although the woman in the green dress called herself an old woman, her voice was crisp and pleasant, just like a teenage girl.

“Oh? So, have you figured it out?” Li Fan looked at the device in front of the woman with interest.

In the center, a gold sphere remained motionless. Around it, many spheres of different colors moved irregularly along different orbits.

The woman in the green dress shook her head and sighed lightly, “Something seems to be obscuring the existence of the [Immortal Ruins], making it impossible to detect.”

“However, the fact that this place has become more abnormal is indeed true.”

Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, “This place is more abnormal?”

The woman in the green dress waved her hand and put away the device.

“This is the [Celestial Coordinate Tracker of the Void], which the Empire spent thousands of years creating. It can mark and lock its position in the Endless Void and map the surrounding environment.”

“Originally, it was planned for use in navigating in the Void after leaving the Xuan Huang World.”

“Now, using it to detect the [Immortal Ruins] can also be considered making the best use of everything.”

Li Fan listened quietly to the woman in the green dress.

“Here, in the main world of the Xuanhuang World…” There was a flash of nostalgia in the woman’s eyes.

“The data measured by the Coordinate Tracker is all messed up.”

“As if there was a huge distortion field around us, affecting space-time, and interfering with the measurement result.”

“From a theoretical point of view, the observation results are consistent with what you said, the existence of that all-devouring [Immortal Ruins].”

Li Fan said coldly, “I have no need to lie to you about this.”

The woman in the green dress gave a faint smile, “No, you did indeed deceive us.”

Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart tensed up suddenly.

“What do you mean?”

The woman in the green dress looked up at the sky of the Xuan Huang World and slowly said, “Because even if the [Immortal Ruins] really exist, after our [Empire] leaves the Xuan Huang World, we won’t be devoured by it.”

“Not only us, but all the small worlds captured by the Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao in the past would not be affected either.”

Li Fan remained silent.

The woman in the green dress continued, “Because, we are not in the same space-time as the Xuan Huang World at all.”

“We are only connected through the Immortal Termination Channel.”

“If we sever the connection with the Xuan Huang World, we will gain complete freedom.”

“But the Xuan Huang World will eventually meet its destruction.”
