My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 570: 542

As his thoughts were swirling around in his spirit consciousness, Li Fan continued to talk.

He spoke with a serious face, “This matter is extremely important. According to our assessment, its significance far surpasses that of the prophecy related to Tianxuan Spirit Locking or Xuanhuang Unification.”

“Even…” Li Fan looked at the disturbed expression on the stone face and slightly smiled in his heart.

He continued, “If the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is able to complete this task unhindered, it would likely be enough to completely alter the balance of power between your Five Elders Organization and the Immortal Alliance.”

“The overall power of the Five Elders Organization and the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has always been neck and neck. However, due to the presence of the Celestial Dharma Bearer, your Five Elders has always been slightly suppressed. If the power of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals were to increase further, I am afraid that your Five Elders would be constantly subjugated, eternally at a disadvantage.”

“This is something we do not want to see,” Li Fan said honestly.

“This is also the reason why I am so anxious to find you. I know that it would be suspicious if a spy frequently contacts his superior. But this situation is sudden, and I have no choice but to resort to such a move,” Li Fan sighed and shook his head.

“Is this true?” The face’s tone became extremely solemn. He believed that the person in front of him would not deceive him on this matter and must be speaking the truth.

But more critical than the prophecy of Xuanhuang Unification…

That was overly alarming.

One must know that since the time he was the first to report the prophecy within the organization, the Five Elders Organization had made significant moves.

Their treatment of him had become unprecedentedly kind. They even promised that as long as he made another achievement of the same magnitude, not only could he honorably retire from active duty, but also redeem his God-Soul Pact and become the most enviable “free inhabitant” among monks of the Five Elders Organization.

…

This indicated how significant the prophecy of Xuanhuang Unification was, as it was interconnected with many secrets.

But now, the mysterious cultivator disguised as Zhou Qingang in front of him said there was a secret even more critical?

The face suddenly felt his heart pounding in a way it had never before.

Could it be that the opportunity to completely change his destiny had come?

“What exactly is it?” He asked anxiously.

Li Fan raised a finger, “Old rules. Ten million contribution points.”

Before the face could speak, Li Fan explained, “The development of any organization cannot be separated from ample funding.”

“Although we also do not wish for the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals to become stronger, leading to an imbalance of power, all of this is based on the premise of the ensuring our own survival and development.”

“Don’t think it’s too expensive. Since you were willing to pay ten million contributions last time…”

“Trust me, it will be worth it this time.”

Li Fan looked earnestly at the face on the stone, “Quickly go and apply to the higher-ups, I am waiting here for your reply.”

After hesitating for a moment, the face disappeared from the stone.

Li Fan stood still, waiting with his eyes closed.

About an hour or so later, the face reappeared, “The higher-ups have agreed. How will the transaction be carried out?”

Li Fan abruptly opened his eyes, “Soon, Li Fan, the Secret Word Envoy of Misthaven Ocean, will restart the collection of contribution points.”

“All you need to do is, within three months, hand over ten million contribution points to He Zhenghao, who is in charge of collection.”

“Uh… Let’s use the pseudonym Han Wuyou,” Li Fan added.

“Wuyou?”

The face was startled and quickly shook his head, “Let’s change the name. That’s somewhat taboo.”

Li Fan was silent for a moment.

“Then let’s go with Liu Yihang,” he suggested.

“There’s no problem with this one. Then the thing you mentioned just now…”

Before the face could finish, Li Fan interrupted him.

“The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed. Since you have already agreed, I can tell you now.”

“As for if you want to break our agreement over a mere ten million contribution points…”

Li Fan let out a subtle laugh, “I can only say that we have misjudged. Your Five Elders Organization is not qualified to be the opponent of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

“Consider this piece of information as a free gift from us.”

“I believe that you will make the right choice.”

Li Fan placed both hands on the smooth stone and transmitted the information he had prepared in advance through a secret technique.

“There’s a Dongtian of the wood attribute outside the Four Great Dongtian?”

“They form a Five Elements Formation, and each Dongtian is rich in various resources, as though it’s a completely new world?!” A moment later, the face’s astonished shout could be heard.

“Remember, within three months, ten million contribution points.” Li Fan timely reminded, snapping the stunned face back to reality.

And before the face could reply, Li Fan struck the stone with his palm, breaking it into dust.

Then he proceeded to destroy all traces of the underwater relic. Only after doing so did he return casually to Misthaven City.

Meanwhile, in the Governance Hall, Li Fan’s true body stood up.

“If all goes well, the Five Elders’ Organization that knows about the existence of Five Elements Great Cave Heaven will surely not stay put.”

“There is a high probability that they will respond as they had in the last cycle and send Integration Cultivators to launch a surprise attack and seize the Five Elements Cave Heaven.”

“The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals should also rise up to fight back, and a major battle is on the verge.”

“I remember during the last cycle, when the battle situation was tense, it was extreme. Cultivators above the Nascent Soul level from various states were all dispatched to the Tianlingzhou Battlefield.”

“Countless cultivators perished. Regardless of my Golden Core Cultivation Level in this cycle, I had slaughtered several Nascent Soul Monks before. Given the actual combat power I have displayed, I still have a high possibility of being drafted.”

“Tianlingzhou Battlefield…”

“I’d better stay as far away from it as possible.”

So, Li Fan called Gao Yuan and He Zhenghao, announcing two pieces of news.

The first was that he claimed that he could foresee a great opportunity coming. As the current actual ruler of the Misthaven Ocean, he decided to reinstate the contribution collection plan for the welfare of the Misthaven Sea cultivators, in line with this principle.

The limit for this collection is …

One billion.

When Li Fan said “one billion,” He Zhenghao’s eyes widened in shock, and it took him a long time to recover.

However, Gao Yuan’s eyes were filled with fanaticism when he looked at Li Fan.

Before the two of them could react, Li Fan announced the second piece of news.

This time, the contribution collection is of great importance and cannot afford to fail.

He has to be well-prepared.

Therefore, from this day onwards, he will be in deep seclusion.

And he will cut off all means of contact to avoid any disturbances.

He will only exit seclusion once everything is ready.

“This…” Upon hearing that Li Fan would be in seclusion while also collecting contributions–two seemingly contradictory commands–Gao Yuan and He Zhenghao knitted their brows in confusion.

But it was Gao Yuan who reacted faster, saying immediately, “We will follow the orders of the Emissary.”

“Rest assured, we will not let you down!”
