My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 402: 378: Changes in the Five Heavens

This term was too sensitive.

So much so that Lu Qixian subconsciously ignored the rest of Huang Fusong’s words.

She mused for a moment but did not express her thoughts on the spot.

She simply redirected her gaze from below, then, under the watchful eyes of many cultivators in the Spirit Transforming Stream, she turned into a rainbow light and returned to her resting place.

Huang Fusong and Dong Fangyao, having wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, quickly followed.

“Congratulations, Brother Huangfu, for being able to strategize in front of Chief Lu this time. Surely it signifies a boundless future ahead!” Dong Fangyao said to him while flying.

“Don’t try those tricks on me, Dong Fang. How could Chief Lu, who she is, need my advice? She’s just being cautious. So that in case of any backfire later, it would be convenient to push me, the one who proposed the idea, as the scapegoat.”

“How could you not see that?” Huang Fusong snorted coldly, his displeasure apparent.

“Brother Huangfu, there are many who wish to be Chief Lu’s scapegoat but don’t get a chance. Besides, considering Chief Lu’s character, I don’t necessarily think she would…”

“Ha ha…”

Dong Fangyao wasn’t amused and altered his statement: “There were rumors that the struggle between the Dharma Transmitters and the newly emerged Unity-Path Experts over the past several thousand years had reached an intense point. I thought it was just exaggerated.”

“But, seeing it today, it turns out to be true.”

Huang Fusong also sighed slightly, “Being forced to take sides today, I’m not sure if it’s a blessing or a curse. If we succeed, we’ll be rich and prosperous in the future. But if we fail…”

The two looked at each other and fell silent.

In the Spirit Transforming Stream, after Lu Qixian and the others left-

Li Fan also followed the majority of the workers back to his dwelling.

When Chief Lu’s gaze fell on him, Li Fan knew she had successfully recognized him.

However, what surprised Li Fan was that this Unity-Path Expert only paused for a moment before losing interest.

“You’re the man who saved your daughter’s life. Is this how you treat me after finally seeing me? Just leaving like that?”

Li Fan was honestly surprised.

But noticing the expressions on the faces of Huangfu and Dong Fang, Li Fan knew that perhaps his plan hadn’t failed.

However, experts on the Unity-Path, especially those with crucial duties, probably had to act more “composed”.

So he adopted an indifferent demeanor, patiently waiting.

Sure enough, the day passed. After Lu Qixian departed in a rainbow,

Huang Fusong came to see him.

“A special assignment to go to Five Elements Great Cave Heaven?”

Upon hearing the words of the man before him, Li Fan hadn’t expected this endeavor to go so smoothly. He was elated.

“Congratulations, young friend, for getting what you’ve long desired! Among all the secret realms in Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, the Five Elements Cave Heaven ranks among the top.”

“What’s more, due to its special status, the construction work of Tianxuan Soul-Locking Array has just begun and is still in its initial stage.”

“Your trip there would offer a great opportunity to thrive.”

“Try harder, maybe there is a chance to compete for the first position,”

Huang Fusong said, his face beaming.

Li Fan kept his composure: “Thank you, senior, for your assistance. I will always remember this kindness!”

Huang Fusong waved his hand: “Not at all. If anything, I’m in your debt.”

“However, there’s something I need to remind you,” Huang Fusong became serious.

“Oh?” Seeing the other’s uncharacteristically stern face, Li Fan became solemn.

“Please speak, senior!”

Huang Fu Song said, “The secret realms available to us include not only the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven but also other possibilities. In fact, up until recently, Chief Lu was somewhat hesitant about sending us to the Five Elements Cave Heaven.”

“But something happened not too long ago that changed her mind.”

Li Fan sat expectantly, with a serious look on his face.

“This matter is extremely confidential. Currently, only a handful of people in the entire Alliance of Thousands of Immortals are aware of it. Please make sure not to disclose this.”

Huang Fusong first cautioned him, then lowered his voice and whispered, “The Five Elements Great Cave Heaven is currently located at the junction of Tianchen and Tianshu States.”

“But do you remember where the Five Elements Cave Heaven was when it was first discovered?”

Li Fan answered immediately, “How could I forget? The battle in Heavenly Spirit State had profound impacts on the entire Xuanhuang World.”

“What do you mean, senior?”

Huang Fusong’s expression was profound, and he couldn’t hide his astonishment.

He slowly said, “After the battle in the Heavenly Spirit State, our Alliance of Thousands of Immortals painstakingly relocated Five Elements Great Cave Heaven back to its current location.”

“The original site in the Heavenly Spirit State was naturally left vacant.”

“But, three days ago, an urgent report came in. It was the strange spiritual energy fluctuations coming from that empty place.”

“After sending people to investigate, the result was almost unbelievable.”

Huang Fusong paused, seemingly to calm his inner turmoil.

Then he continued, “These spiritual energy fluctuations were divided into five.”

“After much confirmation…

“Those are signs of a new cave heaven being reborn!”

Li Fan’s eyes sparked, and he stared at Huang Fusong intensely.

“A new cave heaven?”

“A new Five Elements Cave Heaven?”

His words trembled slightly, full of undisguised astonishment.

Huang Fusong nodded.

“How… how is that possible?” Li Fan was slightly stunned.

According to his limited understanding, the formation of any cave heaven is through a combination of opportunities, time, and numerous changes. It’s a long process.

In the Heavenly Spirit State, the birth of five interrelated Five Elements Cave Heavens is a miracle of miracles.

But when the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals moved the entire Five Elements Great Cave Heaven,

A new Five Elements Cave Heaven was born in the original place?

“What’s the status of the current Five Elements Great Cave Heaven? Has anything unusual happened?”

Thinking about Huang Fusong’s so-called special mission, Li Fan asked thoughtfully.

“There are signs of the Unity of Five Elements forming, and it can’t be reversed,” Huang Fusong said heavily.

“Unity of Five Elements?” Li Fan frowned slightly.

“Is this a good thing or a bad thing? What happens after unity?” He couldn’t help asking.

Huang Fusong shook his head, “This has never happened before. Even Chief Lu was shocked and surprised when she first heard the news.”

“However, we can confirm this: With the Unity of Five Elements, the current five cave heavens will not disappear entirely.”

“Instead, they’ll merge into a completely new cave heaven.”

“As for whether there will be any dramatic changes during the fusion process — whether it will turn from a resource-rich cave heaven to a barren land, no one can predict.”

“No matter what, the plan to build the Spirit-locking Formation has not changed.”

“Due to the sudden occurrence, Chief Lu has already gone ahead to investigate on the ground.”

“A guide will take us there shortly.”
