My Simulated Road to Immortality
Chapter 867 - 825: The Mountain Collapses and Rises Again

To speak frankly, building the headquarters of the [United Federation of All Realms] in a grand and worthy manner is no easy task.

That’s without even getting into the coordination and planning, or the successful construction of the continuous architectural complexes.

Just designing buildings that are fitting for the name of the [United Federation of All Realms] requires considerable effort.

Fortunately, Li Fan once presided over the reconstruction of Misthaven Sky City.

In this regard, he was relatively experienced.

He had also communicated with the master builders sent by the Immortal Alliance Headquarters to offer support.

So, to be fair, the blueprint designed personally by Li Fan wasn’t too bad.

But…

Li Fan always felt that something was missing.

"After all, I’m an amateur, not a professional."

"It seems I need to find a reliable person to supervise this."

Li Fan couldn’t possibly stay in the Spirit Tree Realm forever.

Now that Lin Ling had made significant progress in strength and received ample resources from the Five Elders Organization, it was time to consider Tianyang’s Unity-Path plan.

In scheming for the Essence of Heaven and Earth, even with the information from Mr. Bai, they had a thorough understanding of the Essence of Heaven and Earth. Yet, they couldn’t guarantee absolute safety and still had to assume significant risks.

Naturally, the more prepared they were, the better.

If Tianyang’s Unity-Path was successful, Li Fan would then consider officially absorbing the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven and returning to the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm.

He was almost certain to be far too busy to be involved in anything else.

Therefore, before that, he needed to find a reliable person to be responsible for the construction in the Spirit Tree Realm.

A multitude of cultivators’ information flashed through his Spirit Consciousness in an instant.

A moment later, Li Fan had identified his target.

Master Builder, Ou Daozi.

Although he was only at the God Transforming Cultivation Level, his talent and understanding of architectural design were beyond anyone’s reach.

It was said that many of the buildings within the Immortal Alliance Headquarters were his work.

Ou Daozi was also consulted on the renovation and renewal of the Immortal Alliance’s Heavenly City.

However, he later became discontent with the Immortal Alliance erasing his memory after the blueprints were completed.

As a result, he chose to retreat to the mountains, no longer serving the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals in any capacity.

Even without any official position, Ou Daozi wasn’t someone whom Li Fan in his current state could easily invite.

Hence, Li Fan decided to resort to using the [Fruit of Truth].

Ou Daozi himself was not weak, and with his unique talent, using the fruit on him could not be considered a waste.

The only difficulty was how to deceive or persuade him to swallow the [Fruit of Truth].

Li Fan, who was quite experienced in these matters, had prepared several plans and would adapt his strategy accordingly.

If all else failed, they could only resort to forceful persuasion.

After staying in the Spirit Tree Realm for a few more days, collecting a hundred copies of the Immortal Alliance Entrance Exam Question Bank that Shang Tianci had reproduced,

he set out with Lin Ling and Tianyang.

They still traveled through the currents of the leylines.

It must be said that with Lin Ling, daily travel in the Xuanhuang World had indeed become much more convenient.

Half a day later, they reached their destination.

Guanglan Province, Revival Mountain.

This state was located to the south of the Immortal Alliance, fairly remote and not very bustling. It was almost on the same level as the Misthaven Ocean region.

But within it, Revival Mountain had a bit of fame.

Originally, it was not called by this name, but was known as Bao Yuan Mountain.

About two years ago, the usually peaceful Guanglan Province suddenly experienced earth-shattering tremors.

Thousands of cultivators witnessed Bao Yuan Mountain collapse amidst thunderous roars.

The anomaly lasted for half a day, and many cultivators in the mountain had not enough time to dodge and perished tragically.

Just when the cultivators were still unsettled, something happened that left them dumbfounded.

Under the gaze of numerous cultivators, the Bao Yuan Mountain, which had already sunk underground and become an abyss thousands of feet deep, surprisingly reappeared under the shroud of a yellow light!

The scene at that time was like shattered ceramics ware being restored; it was also like tea, once poured into a river, returning back to the bowl.

Just like time flowing backward, the Bao Yuan Mountain, which had indeed become ruins, was restored!

This kind of extraordinary event was bound to cause a huge sensation.

But precisely because it was so unbelievable, those who did not witness it with their own eyes would never believe it.

However, although the mountain reappeared, the impact of its collapse had not disappeared.

The cultivators who died tragically in the collapse of the mountain, as well as the surge of the leylines caused by the collapse, were indeed real.

Therefore, after extensive investigation and verification, even those who were skeptical had to accept the fact.

They became more curious about how such a miraculous event could have happened.

The Immortal Alliance felt the same way.

They dispatched several investigative teams in succession, turning Bao Yuan Mountain inside out.

But they still could not find the reason.

As time slowly passed by, the Immortal Alliance, with no progress in sight, had to temporarily give up their high-profile investigation.

They left only one investigator to keep watch here.

Occasionally, cultivators who heard about the event would come here to see for themselves out of curiosity.

Because the Bao Yuan Mountain also got a new name, [Revival Mountain].

But frankly, Revival Mountain’s scenery was ordinary and there was nothing to attract visitors. As time went by, fewer and fewer people came. It was gradually forgotten by people.

Li Fan had also taken the opportunity to visit during his previous reincarnation.

He too did not notice anything abnormal.

If it weren’t for Ou Daozi this time, he would not have revisited this place.

Having learned the specific residence of the person in question, Li Fan and his companions headed straight into Revival Mountain.

Upon arrival, they found that the thatched cottage in the mountain was already deserted.

"Hmm?" Li Fan couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Sweeping his spirit consciousness over the cottage and carefully observing the traces, Li Fan realized that the other party had just left not long ago.

And besides, there seemed to be traces of another person living there as well.

"It’s a child, probably Ou Daozi’s son," Li Fan surmised after recalling some information.

"But to leave in such a hurry..."

"Are they avoiding some enemy?" Li Fan stroked his chin.

"Master, do you want to find the people from this cottage? I can find them," Lin Ling offered proactively, just as Li Fan was feeling puzzled.

"Oh? What can you do?" Li Fan became interested.

He had just tried but found that Ou Daozi, to avoid being tracked, had deliberately erased his own traces.

"There are many trees in the mountain; just ask them," Lin Ling said somewhat shyly.

With Li Fan’s approval, Lin Ling excitedly began to cast her spell.

In a moment, tiny green dots of light surged from all over Revival Mountain.

Like forming a river of green light, they flowed into Lin Ling’s body.

"I see them!"

Soon after, Lin Ling clapped her hands with joy and took off.

Li Fan and Tianyang followed closely behind her.

"Interesting, they didn’t escape using the Heaven City’s teleportation array. Instead, they fled into the wilderness and forests," Li Fan mused.

"Did they flee in blind panic, or..."

Following the escape route of the other party, Li Fan, who was initially indifferent, became genuinely interested.
