My Simulated Road to Immortality
Chapter 1042 - 997 TianXuan’s Prison Break Plan

```

With Li Fan’s question, the inn once again fell into a deathly silence.

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar stared intently at Li Fan, as if trying to see through this uninvited guest.

But the more he observed, the more his face showed signs of shock and uncertainty.

It seemed that the apocalyptic words that came from the other’s mouth were not mere empty threats!

It was at this moment that the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar finally realized what the other had meant by saying "actually, we are all the same kind of people".

They both shared a top-down disregard for the living beings of the Xuanhuang World!

But what puzzled the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar was that, being an Immortal Instrument, he naturally had this prerogative. What right did this Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, who was merely a mortal, have?

What made it even more unbelievable to the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar was how casually the other mentioned dragging the Xuanhuang World to its doom. If the Immortal Ruins above were to fall into it, even he, as an Immortal Instrument, might not be able to escape.

The other party would certainly meet his death as well, yet he showed not the slightest fear...

"To achieve one’s goals by any means necessary, even if it means perishing together..."

"Could it be that I was mistaken, and he is not an utterly selfish person but rather a madman?"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through the spirit consciousness of the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar.

Finally, he took a deep breath and broke the silence, "I didn’t expect it, but I really misjudged you."

"A dangerous person like you who’s unbound by any taboo should be suppressed eternally within the Immortal Alliance’s [Dark Prison]."

Li Fan smiled casually, unconcerned, "Dark Prison... There’s nowhere in this world that can hold me."

"Not even the Darkest Starry Sky."

At these words, the face of the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar changed slightly again.

"Our similarities are not just skin-deep. Even our desires align, I wish to escape this cage, and you too, wish to break free from your shackles..."

"By the way, just by differentiating what you call human incarnations, have you reached your true path? Is that true freedom?"

"Without your original form, how is your incarnation any different from those fragile mortals? They’re all but ants that can be crushed at a moment’s notice. Freedom..." Li Fan scoffed.

Looking at Li Fan, the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar ultimately did not retort.

In this battle of wits, he had truly lost.

The reason being, he had truly underestimated the true identity of the person before him.

He even began to speculate if the other was a surviving Immortal from the Immortal World of old.

"If it’s as you say, we are not incapable of collaboration." The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar finally spoke after a long contemplation.

"However, I still can’t trust you," he added, quickly changing his tune.

Li Fan waved his hand, revealing a friendly smile, "I understand your thoughts. But our collaboration can proceed step by step, gradually deepening the trust between us."

"That way, even if I do back out halfway, you will have already received enough benefits."

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar pondered for a moment; the argument seemed flawless, so he slowly nodded.

"The Forbidden Formation left in me by the Celestial Dharma Bearer of old, along with the accumulations from the years of the Mirror Handlers, has now reached a terribly horrifying level. With your current cultivation base, even if you add the three Unity-Path thugs outside, it’s absolutely impossible for you to rescue me..."

```

Li Fan unceremoniously interrupted the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar’s words, "You needn’t worry about my strength."

"Since I can pinpoint your location, you should know that I’ve already infiltrated the forces of the Mirror Handler, Cang."

"And among the Dharma Transmitters, we have our people too. Hmph, how could the Immortal Alliance have remained absolutely united over thousands of years of development!"

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar hesitated after hearing this, "Even so, attempting to help me break free from control seems somewhat forced."

Li Fan didn’t answer directly but suddenly asked, "Do you know the original reason I was prepared to come and execute you?"

After pondering for a moment, the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar replied, "To cut off my escape route?"

"Exactly. But now that your path has been established, and there’s no stopping you from escaping in the form of an incarnation, the plan has to change. King of Mystic Sky, Xuan Yuanhong, do you still remember this person?"

"Xuan Yuanhong?" the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar narrowed his eyes, thinking for a while.

It seemed to be due to the memory loss brought about by creating a differentiated incarnation, or simply because the human form was inadequate to retain the vast amount of information.

It took a good long while before he began to recall, and with surprise, he asked, "Are you from the Mystic Sky Sect?"

"Impossible. The Mystic Sky Sect shouldn’t have someone like you..."

Li Fan snorted coldly, "We want to know the current whereabouts of the once King of Mystic Sky. If there is anyone in the Xuanhuang World who might still have information about him, it’s probably you. The original plan was to slay your incarnation, block your future path, and then use an enhanced version of the [Xuan Tian Soul Seal], forcing you to cooperate with us..."

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar was dumbstruck, "Back in the day, I was, after all, Mystic Sky Sect’s treasured instrument. I am now trapped by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, and it would have been fine if you didn’t rescue me. But to come up with such a plot?"

Li Fan sneered, "When our Mystic Sky Sect was defeated, the King of Mystic Sky disappeared without a trace. Everything happened too quickly, too mysteriously. Besides, you are now subservient to the Immortal Alliance, who can be certain that you’re not the traitor from back then!"

"I’m the traitor?" These words appeared to anger the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar as his voice suddenly rose slightly.

"Back then—," he was about to say something but suddenly stopped.

"Back then..."

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar agonized over his thoughts, trying to recall information about the fall of Mystic Sky Sect from all those years ago but came up with nothing.

"It’s critical information that only the true self has the authority to access," the Tianxuan Mirror Avatar said with a grave expression.

Li Fan scoffed in response.

"Since your demand is to find the missing King of Mystic Sky, I think there is indeed a basis for cooperation between us."

"I still have some trust in the people of the Mystic Sky Sect from those days. But as for you..." The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar looked at Li Fan with a touch of suspicion.

"Haven’t you ever seen examples of those whose dispositions change drastically over a thousand years?" Li Fan sneered, unwilling to explain further.

"The revised initial plan is this: within the Immortal Alliance, continue building the [Xuan Tian Soul Seal] under the pretext of taking complete control over the Tianxuan Mirror by constructing a Great Array."

"Actually switch out the core of the Array Technique, from control to release."

"Then leverage your authority within the Immortal Alliance to create an opportunity to break free. In this process, I could even coordinate an attack on the Immortal Alliance by the Five Elders Organization and various forces from the Small Worlds, creating chaos."

Li Fan spoke confidently, inadvertently revealing the unstated energy within his words.

The Tianxuan Mirror Avatar listened while analyzing everything he heard.

In the end, his heart was stirred.

Because, theoretically, this ultimate "prison break plan" was indeed feasible.
