My Simulated Road to Immortality

Li Fan’s gaze flickered, "To think there are such treasures! We might not need them for now, but let’s collect them first and discuss this later to prevent others from acquiring them and using them against us to decrypt the Mystic Sky Phantom Lock."

Morubin pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Brother Xingwang speaks sensibly. Such a formidable instrument indeed must not be leaked. Once I return, I’ll make arrangements."

Li Fan seized the opportunity to emit a series of deep, sinister chuckles.

"By the way, Brother Xingwang, besides reinforcing the Mystic Sky Phantom Locking Array, there’s another matter for which I need your help, concerning the Tianxuan Profound Mirror. After much consideration, you’re the only one I can trust to handle it," Morubin suddenly said.

"Hmph, we are brothers after all, why stand on such ceremony?" Li Fan said with some dissatisfaction, glaring at Morubin.

This matter seemed even more important; Morubin pondered for a moment and then set up another layer of forbidden formation around them.

Then he quietly said, "According to my latest investigations, during the years that the Tianxuan Profound Mirror was controlled by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, it very likely differentiated a human incarnation. I need you to find this incarnation and kill it, completely cutting off its path of retreat!" A glint of murderous intent flashed in Morubin’s eyes.

Li Fan also looked very surprised upon hearing this.

"The Tianxuan Profound Mirror differentiated into a human incarnation? How is that possible?"

Morubin said in a deep voice, "I was also shocked when I first learned of this. However, upon reflection, it might be precisely because of the forced cooperation that the Tianxuan Profound Mirror fully integrated into the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. Immortal Instruments have spirits and naturally refuse to be subjugated forever. Differentiating a human body to break out of the situation is logically consistent."

"Brother Xingwang, rest assured, to avoid alerting the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, the strength of the human body differentiated by the Tianxuan Profound Mirror will definitely not be too strong. With your strength, as long as you successfully find it, you can surely kill it."

"I’ll lend you another Magic Treasure to ensure you can rest easy," Morubin said, taking out an extremely dark metallic small book.

"This is the Mo Dye Evil Book, which is very effective against Artifact Spirits and Magic Treasures. Once it locks onto the opponent, it releases thousands of ink-colored radiance, contaminating it. With this treasure, Brother Xingwang, you will not fail."

"It’s just a mere incarnation; even without this Mo Dye Evil Book, I could kill it," Li Fan said, yet he still pocketed the black book Magic Treasure.

But then he frowned, "The key issue is where to find the incarnation of the Tianxuan Profound Mirror? It must be extremely well hidden, do we have enough time?"

Morubin confidently said, "The Dharma Transmitter had been aware of the differentiation of the incarnation by the Tianxuan Profound Mirror and thus began a secret investigation early on, yet without any solid results until recently. Just a little while ago, a subordinate of Dharma Transmitter Feng finally found decisive evidence. Currently, only I am aware of this, and it has not yet been reported to the Dharma Transmitter Council."

"Oh?" Li Fan showed a keen interest.

"The Tianxuan Profound Mirror has been under the watch of the Mirror Handler. If it differentiates into a human body, it couldn’t be done without the Mirror Handler being an insider. We’ve initially confirmed that one of the Mirror Handlers, [Cang], is that insider!"

"Cang’s daughter, known in the Immortal Alliance as the Frostive Immortal, mysteriously became pregnant years ago and bore a son. I suspect it could be related to the Tianxuan Profound Mirror," Morubin recounted.

"Are you saying that the son of the Frostive Immortal might be the incarnation of the Tianxuan Profound Mirror?" Li Fan narrowed his eyes.

The image of Shuo Feng suddenly surfaced in his spirit consciousness.

"I cannot rule out this possibility. But back then, the Frostive Immortal initially held a martial contest to find a spouse, which caused a huge uproar. Later, she suddenly became pregnant, sending shockwaves throughout the land..."

"It was too conspicuous. It was like a deliberately staged play to attract attention. Thus, it’s also possible that it was a deliberate act to use Shuo Feng to disguise the true incarnation of the Tianxuan Profound Mirror."

"Regardless, their family is definitely involved with the Mystic Sky Realm because we recently discovered that among the data of the Frostive Immortal in the treasure mirror, an item that only the Tianxuan Profound Mirror has the authority to alter underwent changes without any record of modification in the mirror," Morubin explained.

"Frostive Immortal... What is her strength like?" Li Fan did not delve into the specifics but asked directly.

"Her strength is quite ordinary. However, she is adept at refining tools. Cang particularly favors her, providing unlimited resources, which has allowed her to master some remarkable techniques in tool refining. Ultimately though, it is but a minor skill, Brother Xingwang. You are most proficient in divine soul attacks. Catching her off guard, she definitely won’t be able to stand against you," Mo Rubing seemed quite confident in Sun Xingwang.

"Am I proficient in divine soul attacks..." At this moment, Li Fan was slightly startled, then he had a sudden realization, "Indeed!"

Seeing this, Mo Rubing thought for a moment and finally added another sentence, "If Brother Xingwang really feels uncertain at that time, summon the divine demon avatar that is attached to me."

"At that time, I can transfer some of my power, and together, there is no reason she would survive."

As he spoke, Mo Rubing transmitted the internal investigation report of the [Cang] lineage from the Dharma Transmitter Council.

Unlike typical major forces, which are complicated and intertwined, there were only Cang, Frostive, and Shuo Feng—a single lineage transmission.

But just the immense resources they held, as revealed in the report, were startling.

"The usual haunts of Frostive have all been marked out."

"She is extremely doting on her son Shuo Feng, summoning him for a meeting every so often. And these meetings are always held outside the Immortal Alliance’s Heavenly City, in the Cave Mansion."

"So it would be best to wait for their meeting and capture them all in one fell swoop," Mo Rubing said gravely.

Li Fan nodded in response.

"As long as we slay the Tianxuan Profound Mirror’s incarnation and cut off her escape, then force her with the Spirit Sealing Formation, we can then negotiate with the Tianxuan Profound Mirror."

"Otherwise, this guy is still very arrogant," Mo Rubing said displeasedly.

"Arrogant indeed," Li Fan thought of that very familiar cold, mechanical voice from the Tianxuan Realm.

The two continued to discuss the details of the plan, after which Mo Rubing prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to step out of this Hidden Cave Heaven, Li Fan suddenly spoke, "Thousands of years have passed, and now as brothers we reunite. Why not rejoin the Crimson Compassionate Immortal Sect?"

As he spoke, the vague shadow of a faceless stone statue slowly emerged in the air.

Mo Rubing looked up, his body instinctively moving slightly backward.

A flicker of apprehension not easy to detect passed through his eyes, and Mo Rubing did not speak.

He simply shook his head and then drifted away into the distance.

"Brother Xingwang, before you leave, you might as well take a closer look at this Cave Mansion. You might discover something valuable."

The voice slowly echoed in the cave, as Mo Rubing’s figure had already disappeared.

After a moment of silence, Li Fan once again began to explore the Cave Mansion.

In an inconspicuous corner, he discovered a spider web that had appeared at some unknown time.
