My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 756: Chapter 719: Rebirth Standing at the Sky Dome

“The world really changes too fast; we, as antique, can hardly keep up with the era.” Nangong Shirong looked up at the countdown of “fourteen” appearing on the Vault of Heaven and sighed in silence.

Standing behind him, Xu Bai laughed and said, “Your Excellency need not be concerned. Who would have thought that an Immortal Sovereign capable of reversing the Principle of Heaven and Earth would appear so abruptly without any signs?”

“Mysterious to the extreme. Not a trace to be found. It is simply incredible.”

“Even a Yuan Ying cultivator couldn’t just pop out of nowhere.” Xu Bai said in a somber tone.

Nangong Shirong nodded slightly, “That’s why speculation outside now is, the ‘Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign’ is probably an ancient cultivator who survived the Great Calamity.”

“Just like you.” Nangong Shirong glanced at Xu Bai and said slowly.

Xu Bai lowered his head in thought, “An ancient cultivator…”

As for the true identity of the ‘Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign’, all the cultivators in the world are extremely curious. However, after so much time probing, not a single bit of information about him has leaked.

After all, the number of Integration Cultivators in the Immortal Alliance is just that many. If none can be found even after eliminating them one by one, then it is highly likely that this newly crowned Immortal Sovereign comes from the ancient times. He has been hiding in the Mist, contemplating the Principle of Heaven and Earth, and only recently reached enlightenment.

As for the notion that the ‘Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign’ is a cultivator from the Five Elders Organization…

The frequent actions of the Five Elders Organization recently deny this assumption.

First, they issued an official statement congratulating the birth of the new Immortal. Then, they quickly recalled all cultivators who were on a friendly visit to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s territory. All the vibrant forces at the border receded…

It’s clear that the Five Elders Organization is quite wary of the emergence of this new Immortal Expert.

“Lord City Master, do you think under the protection of the ‘Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign’s’ power that cultivators can really resurrect after falling?” Xu Bai suddenly asked after a protracted silence.

“Personally, I am skeptical. Although the Divine Power of the Heavenly Sovereign is respectable and fearsome, ‘resurrection’ is still too mystical,” Nangong Shirong shook his head, “Even if it can be realized, I’m afraid certain conditions must be met. If a cultivator is already dead without a whole corpse, the soul scattered, wanting to resurrect under such circumstances…”

Nangong Shirong gave a cold snort, “Not to mention the Immortal Sovereign, even the Daluo Jinxian mentioned in the legends may be helpless.”

“But, how it really is, will be revealed in fourteen days. You and I just need to wait patiently.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai focused his eyes on the number visibly floating in the sky.

The font is black and white, flowing round and round, quietly floating in the sky. According to the official explanation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the countdown represents the process of ‘Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign’s’ defiance.

Once the countdown reaches zero, the Principle of Life and Death in the Xuanhuang World will be completely reversed.

The era where everyone can resurrect will also arrive.

“Let’s see the means of this ‘Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign’ then.” Xu Bai squinted his eyes, pulled out a folding fan, and fanned it gently.

While the countdown in the sky of the Xuanhuang World was decreasing,

The loser of the Defiance of Logic Battle, Lan Yu, seemed unwilling to accept his fate.

Not only did he not stop the bounty for the life-prolonging treasures, but he even increased the stakes.

Even the “Heavenly Capital’s Feather Transformation Technique” he practiced was offered as a reward.

It seemed as if Lan Yu was striving to delay the time of his destined end.

However, that Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign didn’t seem to have any intentions of letting him go.

On the day when the countdown became “one,” the omen of an Integration Cultivator’s fall suddenly appeared in the sky above Yuandao State without any forewarning.

“Integration Cultivator Lan Yu, performing Mortal Cultivation…”

Unlike the celestial tragedy Li Fan saw in his previous lives, perhaps because Lan Yu acted Contrary to the Logic of Heaven and Earth in this life, there were the same anomalous signs of falling like the newly advanced cultivators in the sky.

But just as the spectacle had just begun, before the cultivators of Yuandao State could react,

The countdown number on the Xuanhuang World Heaven turned into swirling black and white qi, heading straight for Yuandao State.

At the same time as it obscured Lan Yu’s anomalous signs of falling, the number also instantly went from “one” to zero.

The entire Xuanhuang World was trembling slightly, as if some wonderful change was taking place.

When the sky returned to clarity, all cultivators could vaguely see an ancient and solemn mansion floating in the Xuanhuang World Heaven.

“Transcendence Mansion.”

The three big characters on the plaque of the mansion were clearly visible.

All cultivators who saw the Transcendence Mansion naturally had information about the ‘Transcendence Heavenly Sovereign’s’ resurrection in their Spirit Consciousness.

Under the cover of Transcendence Mansion, when all cultivators fall, a bit of True Spirit will be put into the Transcendence Mansion.

Once the eighteen-year reincarnation period arrives, the True Spirit carrying the cultivator’s memories can return to the world from the Transcendence Mansion.

If there is a body readied in advance, it can directly be inhabited.

If one died suddenly and didn’t have time to prepare, then you will randomly be reborn into a newly born being in the Xuanhuang World.

…

Seeing the rules of the Transcendence Mansion, the cultivators in the Xuanhuang World were instantly in an uproar.

They didn’t expect that the so-called “resurrection” would truly happen.

But this method of resurrection was a bit beyond what they could accept.

Survival and reproduction is the instinct of life.

If there is no hope in the path of cultivation, one can entrust the future to the next generation.

But according to the rules of the ‘Transcendence Mansion’, the newborn treasured by the family could potentially be occupied by a cultivator who fell eighteen years ago…

What’s the difference between this and seizing a body?

Who can guarantee that the cultivator who died and was resurrected has no grievances with oneself?

If you painstakingly raise a newborn, and he turns around to stab you in the back when he grows up, how would that be fair?

Everything you’ve built up will end up benefitting an “outsider”, isn’t that absurd?

The operations of the Transcendence Mansion obviously contradict the ethical values of today’s cultivators. The Xuanhuang cultivators could not accept it all at once.

Fortunately, a more detailed description from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance came soon.

In the Transcendence Mansion, the True Spirit will only preserve the memories of the previous life. Emotions such as love, hatred, resentment from the past life will all be washed away. When looking back at the experience of the past life, it will feel like a dream, without too much immersion.

Moreover, when the True Spirit reincarnates, it doesn’t directly seize the body. Instead, the two integrate. The essence of life does not change, just adding a set of “previous life” memories.

…

After a series of explanations, although the cultivators of Xuanhuang World still had some resistance in their hearts, the general trend was unstoppable, and the Heavenly Monarch’s Principle was inviolable.

Whether they were willing or not, they had no choice but to accept it silently.

Thus, a heated discussion about “transcendence” and “resurrection” gradually unfolded in the Xuanhuang World.
