My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1237 - 1189: Immortal World Extension Heaven Legend

"Could it be that your Master was a sect member of the Shenmu Sect back in the day?" Chen Tianhai seemed to have thought of something, his tone filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"’The Mountain-Seating Secret’?" Upon hearing these three words, Sun Erlang felt a slight movement in his heart, along with a familiar sensation that seemed to emerge from the depths of fate.

"No, no, that’s not it." But before Sun Erlang could respond, Chen Tianhai shook his head, rejecting his own suggestion.

"It’s just that the aura seemed somewhat similar, that’s all."

"Besides, it is said that ’The Mountain-Seating Secret’ is the cultivation art practiced by the divine tree of the Shenmu Sect in ancient times, which exchanges years for cultivation base. Ordinary cultivators find it extremely arduous and progress very slowly. Young man, you are so young and have already achieved Nascent Soul completion. Clearly, it doesn’t match up." Chen Tianhai laughed at himself derisively and, looking at Sun Erlang, his curiosity intensified.

"Indeed, the art I cultivate is not ’The Mountain-Seating Secret’, but a mysterious skill personally transmitted by my Master. The reason for my swift progress in cultivation owes mostly to this mysterious skill," Sun Erlang said solemnly.

"All right then, perhaps I really was mistaken," Chen Tianhai conceded, dropping the subject without further debate.

"Senior, was the Shenmu Sect one of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans back in the day?" Although he had clarified the source of his cultivation art, Sun Erlang still harbored a trace of curiosity about ’The Mountain-Seating Secret.’ Thus, he directly asked the question.

Sun Erlang noticed that Taiyan Sect was quite different from the strictly hierarchical ancient immortal sects he had imagined.

There was almost no differentiation in rank and status, and they addressed him, an extremely young outsider, as ’Young Man’ with warmth and affinity.

Although he didn’t know the reason for such an atmosphere, it was undoubtedly a good thing for Sun Erlang, so he decided to follow the local customs.

Chen Tianhai was open to answering questions, and after beckoning Sun Erlang to sit down, he said, "The Shenmu Sect is even older than our Immortal Dao Ten Clans."

"Existing in the same era as Shenmu Sect were the Desolate God Sect, the Reincarnation Sect, and other ancient Immortal Gates that had long since perished."

"They had already completely disappeared for various reasons before the path to immortality was severed."

"It is said that the Shenmu Sect got its name from an exotic divine tree within the sect, which after taking root in the Xuanhuang World, displayed all sorts of incredible divine techniques. Yet it was also because of this divine tree that they incurred the displeasure of the Yue Heng Wang. This ultimately led to their downfall. Indeed, fortune and disaster are truly unpredictable."

"The five characters of ’Yue Heng Wang’ mean ’existing since time immemorial, appearing and continuing to exist eternally, standing tall above the River of Life, supporting the heavens like a wall.’ It is a primordial tree that has existed alongside Heaven and Earth since the birth of Xuanhuang World, even holding sway over the power of longevity."

"As the saying goes, ’Two tigers cannot share one mountain.’ The ever-growing strength of this exotic divine tree was bound to pose a threat to it. Hence, there was the downfall of Shenmu Sect..."

Chen Tianhai casually recounted one ancient anecdote after another.

Since stepping onto the path of cultivation, aside from practicing and killing, it was the first time for Sun Erlang to learn of these ancient secrets, and he listened with great interest.

"Those like the Desolate God Sect and the Shenmu Sect, just the names alone seem different from other sects," Sun Erlang remarked.

Chen Tianhai smiled wryly: "Of course. These are sects that were born with the opening of the Xuanhuang World and have countless ties to the Immortal World. When the Immortal World existed, their status was naturally unshakeable. However, if the Immortal World should suffer a great change and the path to immortality is cut off, they too would naturally no longer flourish."

Sun Erlang nodded in agreement, time and again.

"Does the Young Man know of the origin of our Taiyan Sect?" Chen Tianhai suddenly changed the subject, asking.

"This junior does not know," Sun Erlang answered honestly.

"Our Taiyan Sect is the authentic lineage of a True Immortal, receiving the [Nine Volumes of Taiyan] from the [Tian Du Grand Master], capable of glimpsing all possible changes over the next thousand years," Chen Tianhai declared proudly.

"Unlike the Heavenly Machine Sect, which engages in second-rate tricks of pretending to divine the future, we do not rely on any obscure qi induction, but rather on our powerful ability to extrapolate, performing real simulations of the future."

At that moment, Sun Erlang recalled the word "simulation" he had previously heard from Yishu.

"Please observe, Young Man!" With a wave of his hand, Chen Tianhai conjured a blue sphere that suddenly appeared in front of Sun Erlang.

Sun Erlang looked closely, and within the blue sphere, it was as if innumerable overlapping shadows were presented all at once.

The scenes were all of himself conversing with Chen Tianhai at this location.

However, Sun Erlang keenly noticed that in each scene, his own expression and movements were not exactly the same.

There were even some where he was seen to suddenly make a move here, and then was easily slain by Chen Tianhai.

"These are all the possible futures we have divined since your arrival, Young Man. But in the time that I have been in contact with you, I have gained a clearer understanding of your temperament and strength. Hence, some of these futures have lost their significance before we could divine their outcomes,"

As Chen Tianhai spoke, about four-fifths of the scenes in the blue sphere suddenly dimmed.

The remaining, which presented scenes, were identical to what Sun Erlang was experiencing at the moment.

Sun Erlang watched this scene, as if he understood something.

But upon closer thought, he felt confused and muddled, unable to fathom it.

Chen Tianhai continued, "As we talk, based on the content of our conversation, there are fewer and fewer predictive outcomes that align with the future trajectory."

"In the end, when you, Young Man, leave, our divination of this matter will conclude and merge with reality."

"A new divination will then take place."

The blue sphere completely dimmed.

After a moment of silence, it burst into a brilliant and dazzling blue light.

The sphere disappeared, turned into a blue mist, floating in front of Sun Erlang.

The blue mist demonstrated the multitude of possible futures of the entire Xuanhuang World.

"Calculating the Xuanhuang World is the same in nature as deducing this minor event of our meeting. As long as we have enough information and timely correct the deviations in the divination, we can simulate a future Xuanhuang World,"

"And thus, we can see further into the River of Time than outsiders."

With a shine of his hand, the blue mist that had transformed into various future scenes swiftly retracted into Chen Tianhai’s body.

The previously majestic Chen Tianhai suddenly transformed into a fantastical existence composed entirely of blue crystal.

This scene left Sun Erlang slightly stunned.

"Our Taiyan Sect has been forecasting the future trajectory of the Xuanhuang World for over a thousand years without major deviation."

"But now..."

Chen Tianhai stared straight at Sun Erlang.

"It’s like in this room where you and I meet, a mysterious person suddenly appears out of thin air, slays you, and then flees far away."

"Such an event is completely beyond reason, normally unthinkable..."

"We call it [Beyond Variables]."

The blue light on Chen Tianhai’s body gradually subsided, and he returned to his normal human appearance.
