My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 793 - 756: Reduce Their Lifespan

Chapter 793: Chapter 756: Reduce Their Lifespan

Before Zi Chang had a chance to respond, Xu Bai, unable to contain himself, asked in doubt, “This transaction is of great significance. It’s understandable that you, a senior, would personally make a move. But with your strength, hiding your identity should have been a piece of cake. Why then…”

“Aren’t you afraid that our Overturning Heaven Society would know about this and turn the tables and blackmail you?” Xu Bai’s gaze was piercing as he stared at Zi Chang.

Zi Chang replied lightly, “Blackmail? Heh, don’t misunderstand. Even though I represent the Five Elders Organization this time, it doesn’t necessarily mean anything.”

“This is just a matter of running an errand.”

Zi Chang was utterly fearless, causing Xu Bai to become a bit uncertain.

“There’s no need to be shocked. In the end, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals under the Celestial Dharma Bearer. And as far as I’m concerned, I have been loyal to the elderly Celestial Dharma Bearer all along. The rest is simply irrelevant.”

...

“The so-called Dao has fifty steps, and the heavenly reincarnation has forty-nine. If the Tianxuan Mirror wishes to comprehend everything in the world, there will naturally exist things that are beyond its control.”

“Otherwise, this ‘new sky’ would be imperfect.”

Zi Chang raised his head to look at the sky and explained leisurely.

“So, even if the Celestial Dharma Bearer knows about what I did, he won’t blame me. He might even commend me.”

“Heh, but those ordinary people may not understand my intentions.”

Although it was only a few short phrases, the amount of information contained within was somewhat terrifying. At these words, Xu Bai fell deep into his thoughts.

“If you don’t reach that level, knowing too much may not necessarily be a good thing.” After a short while, Immortal Master Zi Chang spoke, interrupting Xu Bai’s train of thought.

With a wave of his hand, he tossed over the [Ethereal Stone Matriarch] that contained the trade goods.

This time no contract was established.

It seems that he is extremely confident in his abilities and isn’t afraid that Xu Bai might play any tricks.

Nevertheless, as usual, after Xu Bai reviewed and compared the list of goods inside the Stone Mother, then he handed over the previously agreed fifty [Discs of Apocalypse].

“This is the first batch. The rest will need to be delivered slowly over time.” Xu Bai explained.

The fifty Apocalyptic Discs were not stored in a storage space. Instead, they were like thin pieces of paper, stacked together.

As his thoughts shifted, they would automatically separate, forming individual entities.

Zi Chang took one of the discs in his hand and examined it.

After a while, he mused, “This object appears ordinary, but it can shield the perception of the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror…”

“Interesting.”

After putting away the Disk of Apocalypse, Zi Chang then instructed, “For the future trades, someone else will be liaisoning with you. If there are any sudden emergencies in your Overturning Heaven Society, you can still go find Liu Wenyu.”

“But don’t involve me as much as possible. Even though I don’t care…”

“But if those people target you, even my intervention would not guarantee your safety.”

The figure of Immortal Master Zi Chang gradually faded, just as sudden as his arrival was, his departure was equally abrupt.

Senior, faced with the domineering Tianxuan Mirror pushes, why is the Five Elders Organization continually making concessions? Not even a countermeasure in sight?” Just as the figure of Immortal Master Zi Chang was about to disappear completely, Xu Bai asked.

Zi Chang didn’t answer but merely glanced up at the sky in a seemingly nonchalant manner.

Then disappeared.

“Huh?” Xu Bai also looked up at the sky.

After a moment, he was startled.

This “sky” clearly wasn’t referring to the Tianxuan Mirror.

Immortal Master Zi Chang said he had always been loyal to the Celestial Dharma Bearer.

So his action before leaving was quite clear now.

The Five Elders Organization didn’t want to counteract, they just didn’t dare to when the Celestial Dharma Bearer was present.

In Xu Bai’s heart, Mr. Bai’s sigh once again emerged.

“There is a road to immortality which cannot be walked. The Celestial Dharma Bearer looms above.”

Xu Bai subconsciously tightened his grip, “In my past life, perhaps due to the departure of the Celestial Dharma Bearer, Zi Chang reversed his allegiance back to the Five Elders Organization and became a pure spy.”

“But in this life, I used the Secret Technique of [Chaos] to bring back the Celestial Dharma Bearer who already left. Therefore, Zi Chang still sticks to his somewhat unique stance and hasn’t completely turned into a spy for the Five Elders Organization.”

In the blink of an eye, Xu Bai, who had clarified the cause and effect of the matter, had more doubts arising in his heart.

That is the true intent of the Celestial Dharma Bearer.

If his ultimate goal is transcendence and to leave Xuanhuang World.

Then even if he cares a lot about the Secret Technique of [Chaos], after returning and finding nothing, he should choose to leave again.

But time had passed and the Celestial Dharma Bearer was still in the Xuanhuang World and showed no signs of leaving.

“It seems that Xuanhuang World is of special significance to the Celestial Dharma Bearer and can’t be easily abandoned.”

“Moreover, the improvement of Tianxuan Mirror in this era must have been approved by the Celestial Dharma Bearer himself. He needs the Tianxuan Mirror to complete the transformation, but he also turns a blind eye to the potential loopholes…”

“Heavenly Dao has flaws. Therefore, he must also impose restrictions on the Tianxuan Mirror.”

…

All sorts of conjectures sprang up in Xu Bai’s mind in an instant.

Even with his extraordinary talent and the favor of heaven and earth, he still seemed to be looking at flowers in the fog, unable to decipher the Celestial Dharma Bearer’s intentions.

Feeling a little confused, he was called over by Nangong Shirong upon his return to Celestial Spirit City.

“There have been some unsettling rumors recently. You deal with it.” Nangong Shirong imparted such an enigmatic command.

Conventionally speaking, Xu Bai is just a liaison officer of Tianliang State.

Barring issues like rumors and gossip, whether it is the Defense Institute or the Martial Arts Battle Hall taking action, it is all in order. However, Nangong Shirong quietly handed this task over to him alone.

Xu Bai understood instantly.

This matter needed to be dealt with efficiently and smoothly without it causing too much of a commotion.

It was because he recognized Xu Bai’s capabilities, that Nangong Shirong entrusted him with the task.

Mandated by a superior, a subordinate naturally had no scope to refuse.

“Rest assured, sir, I will definitely handle it properly.” He responded confidently after bowing.

After leaving under his gaze, Xu Bai made some inquiries and learned about the “disturbing” rumor that Nangong Shirong referred to.

Apparently, a cultivator named Peng Qing in the region of Tianliang State suddenly went mad before his death and flew around wildly.

While flying randomly, he also babbled nonsense.

He claimed that his life was supposed to last for five hundred years, but now, not even four hundred years old, he was about to meet his end.

He was convinced that someone had maliciously reduced his lifespan.

Peng Qing was cursing madly and then died horribly in plain sight.

Moreover, his death was extremely miserable. Blood flowed from his orifices, and within a moment, he aged several hundred years.

His appearance changed from a youthful cultivator to a decaying old man in an instant.
