My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 109 - 109: 104: The Forgotten Catastrophe

Moments later, he inquired again, “Might I inquire about the name of my benefactor? I am deeply grateful for the life-saving act today and Zhang will repay this favor heavily in the future.”

Li Fan only smiled without answering, and made a gesture of hand greeting, “We will find out in due course if fate brings us together again.”

“Let’s meet again!”

Without finishing his sentence, his figure turned into a narrow line, retreating swiftly into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Haobo lost sight of him completely.

Zhang Haobo squinted, “Such blistering speed. That unnamed Divine Technique is gruesome too, leaving me with no ability to resist at all. Such an enigma, I can’t identify his identity.”

After a while, he let out a sigh, thinking to himself, “It’s a shame that regardless of the many secrets he holds, there is no difference in the end.”

Zhang Haobo looked up at the sky: “Heaven and earth have already set up a killing mechanism. All living beings in the Misthaven Ocean, regardless of high or low cultivation, whether successful or defeated, are already fated to face inevitable death.”

“That red figure of the Seaflame…”

“Even a God Transforming cultivator is so formidable. Can it really defeat that entity?”

Zhang Haobo fell into a state of bewilderment.

However, after a while, his eyes became determined again.

“No matter what, I must try my utmost to prevent it.”

The energy around his body once again became concrete. He cast one last look upon the ruins and flew away.

Not long after Zhang Haobo left, Li Fan’s hidden figure reappeared all of a sudden.

“It seems that he didn’t lose his fighting spirit because of this incident, perhaps I was being overly cautious.” Li Fan nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he carefully went back to the spot where the Tianyang Cave Mansion once stood.

He tried to see if any treasures had survived the massive battle just now.

However, after a thorough search all he found was freely flowing magma; everything else was obliterated.

After muttering ‘what a pity’ to himself, Li Fan didn’t linger any longer and set off, heading back to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

“I still don’t know where that Tianyang Puppet and the Great Power of Transformation went to battle. I wonder who won in the end.”

“I guess in my previous life, it happened just like today, after the emergence of the Tianyang Puppet, the Great Power of Transformation appeared. After the final battle, only ruins were left.”

“The scale of this problem is too high. Even in the next life, it will be hard for me to profit from it.”

“I better hide for now.”

“I don’t know which sect contains the ancient Body Transformation Dao. I can investigate when I return.”

“Fortunately, this journey was not complete without gains.”

Thinking about the remains in his Storage Ring, Li Fan greatly relieved.

“But I wonder, if I can really restore ‘The Mountain-Seating Secret’.”

With these complex thoughts, Li Fan eventually made it back to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

A shattering conflict broke out where the Tianyang Cave Mansion was located. The news had apparently spread back, and cultivators were seen discussing the matter everywhere.

However, no one knew exactly what had happened or how that aspiring puppet came into existence.

There were many different opinions.

Li Fan chose not to disclose anything.

But when he passed by these extensively conversing cultivators, a sudden thought made him stop.

“Judging from today’s event, the destructive power of a battle between great cultivators is astounding, potentially annihilating a vast expanse of the ocean.”

“Once the battle starts, it will definitely attract attention. People should discuss it afterwards.”

“Moreover, the malice of this world towards cultivators always existed. Before the Crimson Blaze Ocean, there must have been various kinds of disasters.

But…”

“Regardless of the previous or current life, cultivators rarely talk about similar

incidents.”

In his previous life, Li Fan had communicated with many Energy Refining Cultivators. However, they have never mentioned any large-scale disaster that had occurred in the Misthaven Ocean before.

This caused certain doubts in Li Fan’s mind.

So when Zhang Haobo mentioned the impending disaster, he didn’t take it seriously.

Because in Li Fan’s understanding, if disasters often occur in a certain place, at least occasionally, the residents will mention it; if there are outsiders, they should also warn them.

Since the cultivators never talked about any serious disaster…

Then, even if there was any disaster, it shouldn’t be a big issue.

Therefore, in his previous life, he just asked Tianxuan Mirror once. After receiving a negative answer, he didn’t pay much attention to it.

But now that he thought about it, was the Crimson Blaze Ocean really the first killing mechanism deployed by Heaven and Earth in the Misthaven Ocean?

Probably not.

Everything follows a gradual process.

Heaven and Earth have malice towards cultivators.

As the number of cultivators in the Misthaven Ocean gradually increased and their cultivation levels were getting higher and higher,

They would deploy a killing mechanism for extermination.

In the beginning, there should have been just minor disasters.

Not until the end when the number of cultivators reached a limit, would they trigger the final cleansing.

The appearance of the Essence of Heaven and Earth wipes out all living beings.

The reason Li Fan educed this way is that the Divine Alliance of the Misthaven Sea has grown this large in scale.

Would the malice of the Heaven and Earth willingly endure, waiting for the cultivators to increase, and remain silent?

Only to struck when the limit is reached?

According to Li Fan’s understanding of the Heaven and Earth Killing Intent, this obviously wouldn’t be the case.

Heaven and Earth Killing Intent, as long as there are cultivators, it will always exist.

That is to say, in the past years, disasters must have continuously occurred.

So, what caused all the cultivators to batten down the hatches about these various disasters?

“Did they deliberately avoid talking about it, or are they…”

“…Forgotten?”

Li Fan immediately returned to the Tianxuan Mirror and searched the keyword.

In history, disasters where cultivators suffered heavy casualties occurred.

The result made Li Fan break out in a cold sweat.

None.

None.

None.

None.

No matter how Li Fan tried to search, there was no result from the Tianxuan Mirror.

After a while, Li Fan calmed down and took out a Communication Talisman to inquire from Yu Wenxing.

The result made Li Fan feel chilled.

Yu Wenxing denied it immediately.

Only after sustained questioning from Li Fan did he, in a half-conscious state, claim that something like that seemed to have happened.

But he didn’t remember clearly, and it wasn’t important anyway.

Li Fan also asked a few senior cultivators outdoors.

They were surprised that Li Fan would ask such a question, but ultimately, their answers all aligned with Yu Wenxing’s.

It seemed to have happened.

But they just couldn’t remember.

Li Fan fell silent.

Can Foundation Establishment Cultivators be that forgetful?

Li Fan remembered that when he initially arrived at Liuli Island and experienced a wind calamity for the first time.

The island’s residents also told him about the more significant wind calamity that occurred over a decade ago.

Are the cultivators not comparable to ordinary people?

Remembering catastrophes galvanize vigilance, making it easier for people to survive once such calamities befall them again.

This is a principle.

But now, this principle,

Has been reversed..
