My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 652: Chapter 618 The Calendar of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals

In the Tianxuan Mirror, a series of light and shadow appeared one after another.

From the 11th year of anchoring, when Li Fan supervised the official foundation of the Misthaven Immortal City, until the end of the 14th year of anchoring.

All the data from the past four years was instantaneously presented before Li Fan.

“New Immortal Year 2021: Combined Comprehensive Ranking: 231, Rewards: Samou’s Medium Achievement three times, 11,000 Contribution points.”

“New Immortal Year 2022: Combined Comprehensive Ranking: 226, Rewards: Samou’s Medium Achievement three times, 15,000 Contribution points. Additional: The Misthaven Ocean area in the Sky-spirit State War actively responded to the Immortal Alliance’s Cultivator recruitment policy and performed well. Extra reward: One Superior Medium Achievement.”

…

As thirteen merit-based tasks were instantly claimed, Li Fan’s merit level swiftly rose, eventually leveling at Yan 22.

In his previous world, Li Fan had managed to elevate his merit level to 31 only when he was running out of lifespan, by the merit gained from tirelessly constructing the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array.

But now, almost like a hands-off boss, he smoothly advanced to Yan 22 undeterred.

Of course, the reason for this was also due to the Superior Jia Achievement bestowed by the Immortal Alliance when the Misthaven City was founded.

With the advancement of merit levels, many previously hidden techniques and treasures within the Tianxuan Mirror were also unlocked. However, Li Fan, who has once ascended to a higher level in the past, only took one glance and found that compared to his past life, the list merely added some magic treasures which can only be exchanged by regional political managers.

For instance, the Mirror of All Living Beings, which can monitor the overall quantity and realm distribution of cultivators in a state. And the Bell of Countless Forms, which can display the general development situation of other states within this year, as well as our state’s projected ranking in the annual comprehensive settlement.

In general, all these are magic tools that facilitate involution, and bear no practical use for Li Fan.

What Li Fan cared about more was the date that appeared in the settlement prompt.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“New Immortal Year…”

As the name suggests, the New Immortal Year is a set of calendars implemented with the rebuilding of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals by Celestial Dharma Bearer as the origin.

However, when Li Fan previously examined various books, all specific times mentioned were intentionally or unintentionally blurred.

Only ancient, remote ancient, and prehistoric times, as well as terms like a few thousand years ago and a few hundred years ago were mentioned.

This is the first time Li Fan has seen a time record precise down to the specific year.

As for the Bloodline Tome of Sima Changkong, it ran on the same system as Li Fan’s anchoring years, with Sima Changkong’s origin used as the base year. It isn’t applicable to the overall circumstances of the Immortal Cultivation World.

“It seems, within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, there must also be a set of detailed recording rules. It’s just that they’re keeping it under wraps.”

Li Fan didn’t find this odd. Since the Museum of Divine Artifacts stores various precious artifacts from the history of the Xuanhuang World, it would be only natural for them to keep a record of history itself as well.

“Ancient events are not suitable for public discussion. Only by keeping everyone in the dark can more stability be maintained.” Li Fan sneered internally.

“I remember that after the Authority Level reaches Yan 30, there will be a chance for a free visit to the Museum of Divine Artifacts.” Recalling the skull in the center of the museum, Li Fan seemed to feel the hunger of [Real] again.

But in a blink, Li Fan suppressed the restlessness in his heart. The security in the Museum of Divine Artifacts was strict, and furthermore, it was guarded by the Longevity Creature, Emperor Tri-Moa. It would be like throwing himself into a net if he acted rashly. It is not something that the Li Fan of now could covet. Only by gradually enhancing his strength in the cycles of Reincarnation and investigating more secrets could he find a suitable breakthrough. Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope.

After closing the merit records, Li Fan sent a message to Emperor Hongxi, thanking him for his guidance and notifying that he had claimed all the merits from these years.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hongxi laughed heartily without adding more, only asking Li Fan to keep at it. He will deal with people’s thoughts in the lower ranks.

Sure enough, three days later, the returning Emperor Hongxi summoned all the cultivators within the Misthaven Ocean region for a talk.

Just when they all thought that the once brilliant Li Fan would lose his power and fall into the mortal realm, Emperor Hongxi publicly announced that Li Fan would continue to manage the affairs in his stead.

This instantly turned He Zhenghao and other initially uneasy people ecstatic.

While the rest of the cultivators looked incredulous.

Stealing glances at Li Fan, who was calm and composed, they felt both surprised and fearful.

They started speculating about Li Fan’s underworld backing.

Emperor Hongxi, who ruled over the Misthaven ocean for hundreds of years, was actually forced to relinquish his power. Just how terrifying were the hidden powers of this Li Fan?

Ignoring everyone’s changing expressions, Li Fan bowed and thanked Emperor Hongxi once again.

Yet, Emperor Hongxi simply waved lazily and disappeared from the scene with a step forward.

Of course, Li Fan knew that Emperor Hongxi was just too lazy to deal with the matters of the Misthaven Ocean area and preferred to be a hands-off boss.

But the others don’t know this!

In their eyes, the departing figure of Emperor Hongxi seemed to be in a state of defeat!

The truth was apparent! Emperor Hongxi had indeed lost to Li Fan in this power struggle!

All the cultivators were in shock, not daring to look directly at the vibrant and high-spirited Emissary.

Seeing the cultivators behaving this way, Li Fan knew exactly what they were thinking.

But he didn’t bother to explain and imitated Emperor Hongxi instead.

“In the Immortal Alliance affairs, stability is the priority. Everything in the Misthaven Ocean remains unchanged. Zhou Qingang, He Zhenghao, Gao Yuan and others will assist me in managing matters.”

Zhou, He and others were overjoyed and agreed eagerly.

“You may leave!” Li Fan waved his hand and disappeared with a step forward.

After Li Fan left, the Governance Hall started buzzing like a boiling pot.

“Daoist Zhou, congratulations!”

“Mr. He, this is truly cause for celebration!”

…

Li Fan listened in, shook his head, and was about to return to the Bodhisattva Island when he received another message.

“The second Friendly Exchange Event between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization will be held at the Sky-spirit State in ten days.”

“On this former battlefield, both sides will forget past grievances and establish new friendships.”

Li Fan immediately thought of the scarred landscape of the Sky-spirit State he had seen earlier.

“They’re holding a Friendly Exchange Event in such a place? Really?” Li Fan couldn’t help but murmur to himself.

“Could it be that it’s a ‘friendly exchange’ on the surface, but the swords are still drawn beneath?”

Li Fan carefully searched for related information and indeed found something odd.

Besides the mutual display of each group’s “world-suppressing ultimate weapon” representing “exchange”, there will also be martial fights, philosophical debates, formation tests and other competitive activities at the exchange meeting.

The participants representing both sides are the leading talents of their respective groups.

Furthermore, the entire process of the competition would be publicly broadcasted.
