My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1396 - 1280
The vortex above the firmament was about to heal. The Emperor reached out and grasped the last strand of starlight shooting out from it.
Starlight swirled around, sparkling brilliantly, and, after being refined in the palm of the Emperor, flowed gently down to his feet like docile water.
It transformed into a Starlight Throne.
The Emperor sat upon the throne, his voice like thunder, and spoke slowly, "Vast and hazy, Primordial Nothingness; The Division of Yin and Yang, The Cycle of Five Elements; all things arise, created by Taiyi..."
Every word and phrase was abstruse and difficult to understand.
Yet, under the Emperor’s recitation, all living beings fortunate enough to listen felt a vague sense of comprehension stirring within them.
The fleeting moment of enlightenment that had just surfaced under the cover of starlight above their heads, once again became clear within the profound sound of the Emperor’s preaching of the Tao.
"The Dao of Heaven and Earth is grasped to become an Immortal; roaming carefree Qingming, driving the forces of Creation; Eternally Unperishing, the spirit nurtures the eight desolates..."
Even those with mediocre talent and low cultivation base felt a sense of enlightenment within the Emperor’s voice.
The Spiritual Energy around them spontaneously infused into their bodies, presenting an image of sudden enlightenment.
For those with exceptional qualifications like Sun Erlang and Ou Shangtian, their eyes shone brightly, even attracting whirling Zi Qi around them.
Yin Shangren scratched his scalp, feeling as if his innate Tao Foundation within was about to burst forth impatiently.
"Is this what they mean by ’one person’s attainment of the Tao leads to ascension for all associated’? No, this is clearly an unselfish sharing of personal realizations, imparting wisdom regardless of closeness or acquaintance. Hiss..."
The Emperor’s Law Transmission went on for three full days and nights.
The enlightened citizens listened with rapt attention.
Even after the projection of the Emperor dissipated, they remained immersed, oblivious to anything else.
The majority of them would need the rest of their lives to digest the Emperor’s teachings.
At this moment, the Emperor had already returned to the Saint Emperor Seat.
Six disciples, lined up in succession.
"Congratulations to Master on your Enlightenment!" Sun Erlang bowed and said.
The other disciples did the same.
"This is Master’s fortune, but also yours," he said.
"Three years."
"I will give you three years to comprehend. Three years from today..."
The Emperor’s gaze swept over the six disciples below: "The Sacred Dynasty Daqi will attack the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and retrieve Xuanhuang World!"
The six disciples trembled at this pronouncement.
They had long known that this war would inevitably come, but no one expected that it would arrive so soon!
However, at this juncture, no one dared to question the grand Emperor’s decision.
They bowed their heads and agreed in unison.
"During the three-year preparation period, some strategies can be implemented in advance."
The Emperor’s voice echoed in everyone’s hearts.
...
In Xuanhuang World, Tianquan Province, Sun Luyuan was in the midst of a gathering, speaking eloquently when he suddenly sensed something and promptly cut short his lengthy speech.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone else was not paying attention, he hurriedly left the Cave Mansion.
"Is the [Dark Needle Plan] finally going to be executed? I’ve been waiting for this day for far too long," a glint of purpose flashed in Sun Luyuan’s eyes. Suppressing his exhilaration and slight fear of the future, he concealed his presence and hurried towards the agreed meeting place.
The so-called Dark Needle Plan was an operation aimed at sabotaging the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ Tianxuan Mirror and Teleportation Arrays.
The Immortal Alliance, commanding most of Xuanhuang World’s state regions, could act swiftly, mainly due to the Tianxuan Mirrors and Teleportation Arrays scattered across Various States.
Whenever there was an incident in any state, support from Various States and even the Immortal Alliance Headquarters could arrive quickly.
Hence, to confront the Immortal Alliance, it was crucial to disable or disrupt this kind of linkage.
"That Ou Shangtian, the lad claimed he could affect or even destroy the Tianxuan Fragmented Mirrors across Various States; I wonder by what means. But our Death Warriors from Various States have long been prepared," Sun Luyuan thought to himself as he hastened, his mind racing with thoughts.
He knew that there was no turning back once the bow was drawn. Once they acted, they would firmly establish themselves as traitors of the Immortal Alliance. If discovered, there was no chance of mercy.
But Sun Luyuan had made up his mind.
Besides the reasons that had previously prompted his betrayal, a more significant factor was the recent fall of Sun Lu Chang.
When selected to venture outside Xuanhuang World, Sun Luyuan still harbored a sliver of hope for Sun Lu Chang’s return.
Not until the Blood Essence left behind in the underground blood pool suddenly dried up, did Sun Luyuan finally give up all hope.
These days, watching the Immortal Alliance still occasionally releasing information about departures to the Outer World, with even appearances of the already fallen Sun Lu Chang, his anger grew.
Sun Luyuan had been waiting for an explanation from the Immortal Alliance.

Even a perfunctory consolation would have sufficed.
Clearly, it was Sun Luyuan who expected too much. The Unity-Path Guards of Various States and those so-called Immortal Alliance dignitaries were indeed nothing more than expendable materials – abandoned at will.
"The Immortal Alliance..." At this point, Sun Luyuan had completely given up any expectations he had for the Immortal Alliance.
He had fully leaned towards the Sacred Dynasty Daqi.
"Setting aside everything else, the benefits I’ve received from the Holy Dynasty in recent years far outweigh those from the Immortal Alliance, to whom I’ve devoted my life."
Thinking thus, Sun Luyuan had already arrived at the predetermined rendezvous.
Beside the towering White Mist Barrier, which split the Heaven and Earth of Tianquan Province.
In years past, due to the great turmoil in Xuanhuang, the White Mist Barrier had cracked and thunderously crashed to the ground. The Element Devouring White Fog, free from its constraints, flowed wildly and spread all around, mercilessly devouring all living beings it enveloped.
Although the turmoil gradually subsided over time and the White Mist Barrier was restored, this deathly region never regained its vitality.
