My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1273 - 1225: Body Harbors Malevolent Thoughts
Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss, her beauty unparalleled, had many pursuers within the Immortal Alliance. The supernatural effects of the Yin Yang Jade were enough to drive the cultivators of the world mad.
Beyond her unique personal attributes, Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss also seemed to harbor a hidden background.
It was secretly rumored among the higher echelons of the Immortal Alliance that Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss was a forbidden delight of a certain Dharma Transmitter. She was not only born in the exclusive Miniature World of Dharma Transmitters but also had a piece of Heaven’s Oddities implanted within her, all intended to cultivate her for a bountiful harvest.

As they say, there’s no smoke without fire; these rumors weren’t without basis.
The incarnate of Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss, a ’Ghostly’ Heaven’s Oddity, was one of the nurtured and reserved powers within the Immortal Alliance. Silently, she had used it to break through her cultivation, and the Alliance had always maintained a stance of non-interference.
Furthermore, over thirty years ago, a Qin named cultivator who had just achieved Unity-Path fell deeply for her. Unable to win her over, he resorted to deceit and force to possess her. The result was not only his downfall but also the total disappearance of the distinguished Qin Family, eradicated from the world.
Sun Luyuan was not deterred by Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss’s possible special status; rather, it made him more determined to choose her as a sacrificial offering. At this moment, he arrived at his brother Sun Luyao’s place, hoping to use the power of the Tianxuan Mirror to locate her current position.
"Brother, aren’t you afraid..." Sun Luyao was puzzled.
"The current Immortal Alliance is completely unaware of the Sacred Dynasty Daqi’s proceedings. I’m merely inviting the renowned Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss to admire the distinct scenery of a Miniature World within the borders of the Immortal Alliance, what could possibly go wrong?" Sun Luyuan smiled.
"The likes of Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss would surely face no life-threatening danger within the confines of the Sacred Dynasty Daqi. You can be assured of that."
However, Sun Luyuan had additional motives that he did not disclose to his brother.
Aside from appeasing the Sacred Dynasty, he also wanted to test the strength of Daqi using the power behind Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss. Although the previous visit to Daqi had demonstrated the dynasty’s might, the real test of strength remained.
"If we couldn’t even handle a Dharma Transmitter, how could we contend with the Immortal Alliance?" Sun Luyuan thought to himself.
What Sun Luyuan didn’t know was that all his actions were under the watchful eyes of the Great Enlightenment Saint Emperor.
Thinking he was being secretive, how could his movements escape Saint Emperor Li Ping, who had undergone many reincarnations?
"Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss." A breathtakingly beautiful face suddenly appeared before Saint Emperor Li Ping.
"That’s fine. Several of my disciples are indeed not young anymore. If they could produce more prodigies for Daqi, it would indeed be a joyous event."
As for the forces behind Fairy of the Ethereal Abyss, Li Ping didn’t really care.
However, Sun Luyuan’s self-conceited actions had earned him a special mark from Li Ping.
"What is done today, shall be returned."
Such a trivial matter was merely one of countless scenes that flickered through the mind of the Faceless Saint Emperor, who remained seated at the Saint Emperor Seat.
It barely caused a ripple in his heart.
Li Ping’s main focus was still on the Ghost Realm and the derivation of new methods.
Since delegating a portion of You Clan People to address the energy shortage in the Ocean of Darkness, Li Ping felt increasingly favored by the blessings of Xuanhuang Celestial.
Not long after assisting Tianyang in achieving Unity-Path, the Power of Heaven and Earth that he could manipulate and redirect had increased almost tenfold.
While gaining more control, the persistent urging from the Xuanhuang Celestial Way began emerging more frequently in Li Ping’s spirit consciousness.
As the future of the billions of Enlightened People depended on him, Li Ping wouldn’t act recklessly.
Visions of Heavenly Dao flickered before his eyes.
A desolate wasteland stretched out before him, uniformly gray.
A towering monolith that seemed to connect Heaven and Earth stood at the center of the vision.
Atop the monolith sat an old man.
Behind the old man, a coffin. Although it was just a vision, Li Ping could still sense a decayed, evil aura emanating from that coffin.
It even made Li Ping slightly uneasy.
"The sealed malice of the Xuanhuang Realm?"
Li Ping naturally knew the reason behind the ceaseless urgings of the Xuanhuang Celestial Way.
Part of his own essence being sealed, the Celestial Way had significantly weakened. So much so that since the Incompatible Cultivation Great Calamity thousands of years ago, it had failed to unleash capabilities targeted at cultivators.
If he could reclaim this lost power, perhaps the situation could change.
But...
Even from billions of miles away, Li Ping could feel the restlessness underneath the coffin lid—an unease lingering for years after being sealed by cultivators.
"If we allow this malice to return, after being suppressed for so many years, the Xuanhuang Celestial Way will surely undergo extreme changes. This might not bode well for human cultivators or for the Xuanhuang Realm itself."
"But restoring the power of the Xuanhuang Celestial Way does indeed carry its worth."
In almost an instant, Saint Emperor Li Ping made his decision.
He would first absorb this malice.
Once he reshaped Qiankun in the future and returned it to the Xuanhuang Celestial Way, this portion of power would naturally reintegrate into the Xuanhuang Realm.
Before then, whether this power was in his hands or in the hands of the Xuanhuang Celestial Way...
Li Ping saw no difference.
With his current strength, taming the Xuanhuang malice carried some risk, especially since the cultivator named Xu Ke guarding the malice was not to be underestimated.
Therefore, without full preparation, Li Ping would not act hastily.
The Xuanhuang Realm’s urgency was something he chose to ignore.
Dealing with the World’s Forces was something that the Sacred Dynasty Daqi had a worthy example to learn from.
Yin Shangren.
As the incarnate of a remnant soul from another Immortal World, Yin Shangren had extensive experience wrestling with the world consciousness.
However, there seemed to be some taboo involved.
Li Ping had reached out to inquire a few times, and Yin Shangren, unusually silent, offered no responses.
Fortunately, he was indeed busy exploring potential breakthroughs in new methods, so Li Ping did not press him.
"The will of the world…"
Without Yin Shangren’s assistance, Li Ping had to find a solution on his own.
In his memories, the Xuanhuang Realm still retained numerous remnants from other Immortal Worlds, each preserving its own consciousness.
Perhaps contact with them could yield some insights.
With that thought, Li Ping’s figure flickered, taking him to the entrance of Da Qi Miniature World, Misthaven Ocean.
At first glance, he saw the Essence of Heaven and Earth about to be birthed, the Crimson Flame.
Seemingly sensing Li Ping’s presence, the still-forming Crimson Flame conveyed a sense of confusion.
Li Ping did not interfere with the process of Crimson Blaze Ocean.
He knew that this was a necessary procedure for other world remnants to truly integrate into the Xuanhuang Realm.
