My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 517

Chapter 517

Senior Sister Zhao's reminder made Li Fan's heart skip a beat, and he quickly attempted to activate the cultivation technique he had been practicing, "The Nine Revolutions of the Void Truth".

This technique, "The Nine Revolutions of the Void Truth", was what he had switched to after advancing to the Soul Transformation realm.

Although its power couldn't compare to the "Heaven-Slaying Dao Scripture", it was still highly formidable.

It directly pointed toward the Longevity Realm and could be considered a supreme method.

The nine revolutions of the void involved understanding oneself thoroughly with each revolution, gaining insight into a unique divine ability. In any other sect, this would be regarded as a treasured legacy, reserved only for elders or a few core disciples.

Li Fan had only been given the opportunity to cultivate this technique because he had benefited from Senior Sister Zhao's promotion to Dao Child.

However, at this moment...

After circulating the technique for several cycles, not only did his cultivation fail to increase, but he also vaguely sensed the locations of a few fellow disciples who were cultivating the same technique.

Moreover, the more he focused on sensing, the more an uncontrollable murderous intent surged in his heart.

"What is going on?!" Li Fan was both shocked and terrified, his face instantly darkening.

"Multiple people cannot cultivate the same technique... this is the backlash of heaven and earth..." Senior Sister Zhao looked up at the sky and muttered to herself. "I never expected the calamity I foresaw to manifest in this way."

"Multiple people cannot cultivate the same technique."

Hearing these words made Li Fan's heart race. As he pondered the situation, he seemed to envision an inevitable, unstoppable bloodbath sweeping across the cultivation world.

Since embarking on his path of cultivation, he had never felt such bone-deep fear.

But Li Fan was now a Soul Transformation cultivator, a prominent figure in the outside world. Though alarmed, he didn't panic. He paced back and forth in the room, frowning as he pondered the situation.

"The Heaven and Earth Converging Manual" was cultivated only by you and me. Although its effectiveness has been greatly reduced, it's not entirely ineffective."

"So, does this mean the more people cultivate the same technique, the stronger the limitations?"

"It's almost certain that this strange phenomenon will have devastating effects on every sect in the world. Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of disciples—where would they find so many techniques for all their members to practice?"

"Even the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance won't fare well. In fact, they might suffer even more than we do! After all, they are a newly established organization, unlike our Ten Great Immortal Sects with deep foundations. Their number of techniques is limited, and it's said that most of their lower-level members cultivate the [Heavenly Net Divine Art]." A shadow flickered in Li Fan's eyes.

"This is a calamity for all cultivators."

Li Fan turned to Senior Sister Zhao and, after hesitating for a moment, reminded her, "Multiple people cannot cultivate the same technique, so some sacrifices will be necessary. The 'Heaven-Slaying Dao Scripture' you cultivate conflicts with the sect master’s..."

A cold light appeared on Senior Sister Zhao's face.

Just as she was about to speak, a series of urgent and crisp bell chimes suddenly rang out from outside.

"The sect master is summoning an emergency meeting, likely to discuss how to deal with this calamity. I'll go first."

After she disappeared, her faint voice reached Li Fan's ears.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Li Fan looked toward the sect's main hall at the mountain peak, his expression unreadable.

"Multiple people cannot cultivate the same technique..."

Alone, he entered a secret chamber and began recalling the techniques he had obtained from the ruins of the 'Xuantian Sect'.

Besides the Heaven and Earth Converging Manual, there were also Sole-Eternal Dominance Art, 'The Soul-Severing Divine Radiance Art,' and 'The Scripture of Heaven’s Sorrow and Earth’s Grief.'

Li Fan and Senior Sister Zhao had privately studied these techniques together.

However, the cultivation methods and their effects were drastically different from the current techniques, and they might even carry unclear marks or restrictions, much like dual cultivation techniques.

Thus, over the years, they had only memorized them and destroyed the original texts without actually practicing them.

"If there's no other option, I'll have to switch to these unique techniques from the Xuantian Sect." Li Fan was well aware that his position within the sect could never compare to that of the core disciples. He would undoubtedly be the first to be sacrificed. "Fortunately, the new techniques are fast to cultivate. Even if I have to start over, I can quickly return to my previous level."

"Fate works in mysterious ways. Who would've thought that a chance encounter in my youth would play such a decisive role many years later? With these unique techniques, I can survive this great calamity as long as I'm careful." Li Fan's eyes gleamed as he immersed himself in the contents of the techniques.

The highest-level meeting in the sect didn't last long. Soon, Sect Master Ji Changxi issued a decree to stabilize the disciples' minds.

He instructed them not to panic, saying that the Ten Great Immortal Sects had already begun researching a solution.

He also ordered all disciples of the sect who were outside to return immediately, as the sect would soon activate its protective barrier and close its gates.

At the same time, the pill room was ordered to work at full capacity to produce life-extending elixirs in case of emergencies.

…

As orders were issued, the disciples' panic gradually subsided.

The Ten Great Immortal Sects had stood for thousands of years. They should be able to find a way to respond, right?

Most disciples thought so.

Three years passed in this oppressive atmosphere.

Despite various attempts by cultivators, no solution to the issue of 'multiple people cultivating the same technique' had been found.

In fact, rumors began circulating about sects large and small fighting to the death over techniques, leading to the destruction of countless sects.

The only good news was that the mysterious 'Immortal Ancestor of Dao Transmission' had suddenly appeared.

He forcibly broke into the 'Taishang Sect' and obtained the 'Art of Dissolving Cultivation' from the 'Primordial Scripture of Taishang' for all cultivators.

With this wonderful technique, even if someone was forced to abandon their cultivation method, they wouldn't lose much of their power.

"I have to admit, I'm a little grateful to him," Li Fan said as he circulated the 'The Soul-Severing Divine Radiance Technique,' feeling his pure cultivation rapidly improving.

"Hmph, grateful to him? If it weren't for his introduction of the new methods, where would this heaven and earth backlash and great calamity come from? His intentions are vile and he deserves to die!" Senior Sister Zhao snorted coldly.

"According to the sect master, when he first began spreading the new methods, the Ten Great Immortal Sects investigated his background."

"Unfortunately, they couldn't find anything suspicious."

"They were too arrogant at the time, not taking him seriously. And there were..."

"And there were other matters to attend to, so they simply overlooked him."

"By the time they realized, the new methods had spread like wildfire, unstoppable!"

"Damn him!"

Having also switched techniques, Senior Sister Zhao spoke coldly, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes.
