My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 639: Chapter 605: The Origin of Mystic Sky Sect

As if he encountered a high-ranking lifeform, he sensed its natural dominance.

The moment the figure appeared, Li Fan’s heart thumped rapidly.

His body hair stood up slightly, and cold sweat dripped down from his forehead.

The image recorded by the Medicine King Cauldron seemed to be affected by something, becoming distorted and blurred.

Subconsciously stepping a step back, Li Fan only then reacted, his face turning pale.

“Merely a recorded image and yet such powerful influence.”

“Could it be…”

“A True Immortal?”

Before Liu Ruchen passed away, he relayed a lot of things.

Included was the terrifying entity above the Xuanhuang World’s crown, which seemed to engulf everything.

Since the ancient times, after a cultivator broke through to the Realm of Unification, after passing the Heavenly Tribulation, they could be brought to the upper world.

However, from a certain day onwards, anomalies began.

A cultivator who successfully went through the thunder tribulation and ascended to the Immortal World, returned after a short period, looking dreadful.

Only then did the world know, the path to the Immortal World, had been severed.

The original Immortal Realm Passage had become a ruin.

But at that time, most cultivators only knew about the existence of [Immortal Ruins].

As for what it actually looked like, the circumstances, they had no way of knowing.

With the path to the Immortal World severed, more and more Integration Cultivators stayed in the mortal world.

Yet, the lifespan of those at the Unity-Path stage was limited to a thousand years. That was the limit.

Those who could reach this stage, were all outstanding talents. How could they sit and wait for death?

Therefore, the Immortal Realm existed.

Heaven and Earth have treasures, possession of which grants eternal life.

The world naturally had things that granted eternal life, they had a special mandate granted by Heaven and Earth.

Cultivator’s lifespan is limited, to reverse fate, they must steal this mandate.

That was the Fruit of Eternal Life.

The earliest cultivators at the Immortal Realm came from here.

However, these Fruit of Eternal Life were limited, and there were too many Unity-Path cultivators in the world.

As a result, strife was unavoidable.

During this war, a force named Mystic Sky Sect rose rapidly.

The head of the Mystic Sky Sect was that very cultivator who blew past the Immortal Realm before returning.

At the time, he was the only one in the Xuanhuang World who had the Immortal Spirit Energy infused in him, being just half-step away from becoming a true Immortal.

Being a true Immortal compared to a cultivator represented a qualitative difference.

For that reason, his power was much stronger than other Integration or Immortal Realm cultivators.

Under his leadership, the Mystic Sky Sect practically crushed the Xuanhuang World in its path.

Aside from being powerful, this man was also cunning.

Using the Fruit of Eternal Life as bait, he won over more than a dozen Integration Cultivators who were at the top of the cultivation world at that time.

With these people joining, the Mystic Sky Sect became unstoppable.

From then on, the Mystic Sky Sect ruled over the world, with barely any who did not submit.

That Half Immortal called himself the King of Mystic Sky.

The 12 strongest factors within the sect were known as Xuan Fa Wang.

After nearly consolidating all of the world of cultivation, in order to strengthen its rule, the Mystic Sky Sect was inspired by the [Robbing the Mandate of Longevity].

They began to take an interest in the mandates of Heaven and Earth.

In ancient times, cultivators feared and respected Heaven and Earth.

They could move mountains and fill up seas, split rivers and cut streams, but they believed that their great power ultimately came from Heaven and Earth.

But since the Mystic Sky Sect…

The rules have been broken.

The Mystic Sky Sect usurped Heaven and Earth, relying on the sect’s King’s decree, a mere mortal could grasp the power to counter the cultivators.

There were cultivators who had thought of resisting.

However, [King Xuan Tian] somehow got his hands on a strange treasure known as the [Xuan Tian Treasure Mirror], which could observe everything in the world.

Several secret gatherings were crushed by the Mystic Sky Sect before they could even take shape.

Innumerable cultivators were implicated, resulting in a sea of blood.

The forces of the various sects were already weak. After these incidents, they lost any thoughts of resistance entirely.

But no reign lasts forever.

In the late stages of the Mystic Sky Sect’s rule, their arrogance grew out of bounds. Their members shamelessly bullied the cultivators.

Eventually, when every person in the world could bear it no longer.

At the behest of the Ten Sects, the cultivators united and overthrew the Mystic Sky Sect’s rule.

“Heh heh, it seems now that the Immortal Dao Ten Clans, the Mystic Sky Sect, they are all of the same kind.”

“The Immortal Ruins forcibly drain all forms of material energy from the outside.”

“The Immortal Dao Ten Clans claim to be the leaders of all sects. Something with such implications on the survival of the world, but they never mentioned it to us.”

In his last words, Liu Ruchen said with a tone filled with bitterness.

Liu Ruchen speculated that something unbelievable must have happened in the Immortal World.

And that was what resulted in the complete cutting off of the path to immortality.

The corpse on the ruins was likely a fairy who escaped from the Immortal World.

Even true immortals were unable to resist the terrifying pulling force of the Immortal Ruins. One could imagine what would happen if Xuanhuang World plummeted into the Immortal Ruins.

Perhaps no living being in the world could survive such a calamity.

When the Immortal Dao Ten Clans led the overthrow of the Mystic Sky Sect years ago, inheriting their legacy, they must have known about this.

Yet they kept it a secret.

Even when the Medicine King Sect wanted to break out of the world, they didn’t send a warning and watched them go to their deaths.

This is truly detestable to the extreme.

…

The scene continued to play, the Medicine King Cauldron survived the violent shaking and narrowly escaped disaster.

After circling around the terrifying entrance of the Immortal Ruins, it finally returned to the Xuanhuang World.

The scene vanished, and reverted back to the sight at the bottom of the Deep Abyss of Cangwu.

Li Fan, however, remained in shock for a long time.

In fact, Liu Ruchen’s decision to control the Medicine King Cauldron to escape from Xuanhuang World wasn’t an impractical idea.

After all, the matter involved the lives of all the cultivators of the sect, and Liu Ruchen wasn’t a reckless person.

The elders of the Medicine King Sect eventually agreed to his plan.

There was a fundamental reason for all these.

A certain sect leader of the Medicine King Sect, in search of a method to ascend to immortality when the path to immortality was first cut off,

Followed the information left by the Medicine King Sect’s old ancestor Sun Piaomiao to visit nearby immortal cultivation realms.

But what he found shocked him, these worlds were all like Xuanhuang World, having lost the perception of the Immortal World.

And he was unable to push deeper into the void.

So he could only return with regret.

The guidance within the Medicine King Sect pointed to a nearby immortal cultivation realm called [Xiao Yao].

In Liu Ruchen’s view, since their ancestors didn’t meet any danger when traversing the void,

If he followed their footsteps and was more careful, he should not encounter any significant problem.

But who would’ve thought, such a disaster struck before he could leave Xuanhuang World.

“At first, the ancestors of the Medicine King Sect could ignore the pull of the Immortal Ruins, moving in and out of Xuanhuang World freely.”

“But now, escaping is an almost impossible task.”

“The Mystic Sky Sect, as well as the Immortal Dao Ten Clans, constantly capture nearby realm openings and small worlds, in an attempt to counteract the pulling force of the Immortal Ruins.”

“Today, even the ‘weight’ of the cultivators is of vital importance to the survival of Xuanhuang World.”

…

“So it seems, the pulling force of the Immortal Ruins is constantly strengthening as time passes?”

Li Fan was slightly astonished in his heart, after combining all the information, he couldn’t help but come to this conclusion.
