My Simulated Road to Immortality
Chapter 886 - 844: The Chosen Immortal of Oddness and Orthodoxy

"Gifted indeed..."

"But that’s about it."

After many reincarnations, this person seemed to still be merely at the Golden Core Realm.

Always perishing within the tribulations of the Crimson Blaze Ocean.

It seemed his achievements were destined to be limited, he was not a true prodigy.

Watching Wei Qizheng bow with gratitude, Ji Shaoli nodded slightly in return, yet that was what he thought to himself.

However...

Ji Shaoli had not expected.

That his sharp eyes, honed over a hundred lifetimes, could also make a mistake!

Seven days after the great examination ended.

The time for the announcement of results was drawing ever closer.

The people on Haixuan Island, gradually shifting from confidence to becoming somewhat anxious and restless.

No longer were there laughter and talk.

Each face was somber.

And some, unable to bear it, got up to pace back and forth alone, trying to ease their own pressure.

Just then, Wei Qizheng’s face suddenly showed surprise, as he took out his Communication Talisman to check it.

Unsure of the message he received.

The next moment, he abruptly stood up, his face filled with disbelief.

And even his body, trembling slightly with excitement.

This abnormality instantly attracted the eyes of the cultivators present.

A thought inevitably arose in their minds.

"Impossible, right?"

Seeing the shocked and somewhat puzzled looks from those around him, Wei Qizheng took a deep breath, "The city lord has commanded me to go immediately to the Governance Hall."

"It concerns..."

"The selection matters of the Thirty-three Chosen Immortals."

Inside the hall, there was a silence as still as death.

The expressions on everyone’s faces froze due to the outrageous turn of events.

Even Ji Shaoli’s face suddenly stiffened.

All eyes focused on him, showing a complexity of emotions.

In that instant, Wei Qizheng felt his blood surge with excitement, feeling somewhat elated.

Although it was only the initial selection for the Thirty-three Chosen Immortals, and the final list of people had not yet been determined,

Being chosen from among countless cultivators...

This in itself was a testament to his capability!

At that moment, Wei Qizheng only wanted to let out a long howl to express the exhilaration in his heart.

But soon, as if he remembered something,

His complexion changed, and the arrogance was no more.

Only some bafflement remained,

And trepidation.

"Ji, my friend..."

He looked towards Ji Shaoli, seeking help, and asked weakly, "Your [One-Handed Sky Shrouding Technique], is it really effective?"

Indeed, Wei Qizheng had realized.

Although he had received the preliminary selection notice...

He had known about the examination questions in advance, he had cheated!

If it was just an ordinary state region position, it would have been all right.

But now, what he had to face was the selection of the Thirty-three Chosen Immortals, scrutinized by everyone from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals!

Being selected as a hopeful seed to oppose the Five Elders Organization, strict scrutiny was inevitable!

Wei Qizheng could almost imagine the future scene.

Seven or eight Unity Immortal Monarchs, encircling him.

Nothing in his Spirit Consciousness overlooked, carefully inspected...

Even with a decent disposition, Wei Qizheng felt his hands and feet turn cold at this moment.

If the cheating was discovered, to be killed on the spot would be a minor issue.

He might even be proclaimed all over the world and be eternally infamous!

The more he thought about it, the more guilt Wei Qizheng felt.

"Ji, my friend?" His voice trembled, asking again.

At this time, Ji Shaoli had just come back to his senses from the initial shock.

Seeing Wei Qizheng’s face change several times in a short period, he immediately guessed what the other was thinking.

He immediately reassured, "You don’t need to worry, our mutual aid society’s secret techniques are foolproof."

"However..."

"If you really aren’t at ease, I can help you one more time! Follow me!"

As if grasping a lifeline, Wei Qizheng didn’t hesitate in the slightest as he followed Ji Shaoli into the secret room.

"You just sit here and meditate. Empty everything, and rid yourself of all distractions," Ji Shaoli instructed.

Wei Qizheng nodded and did as told.

Soon, his anxious heart began to calm down.

Ji Shaoli nodded to himself.

Then he waited patiently.

As for what he was waiting for...

It was naturally the storage ring that Lin Ling had sent urgently from eight hundred miles away.

With the help of the ceaselessly surging power of ley lines, it took just the time to drink a cup of tea for Lin Ling to bring Li Fan in person to Haixuan Island.

They did not arouse the notice of other cultivators on the island.

The moment they arrived in the secret room, Lin Ling knocked Wei Qizheng out cold.

Li Fan’s main and alternate selves carefully examined Wei Qizheng’s body together.

A moment later, he slightly shook his head, "Strange. He doesn’t have any special constitution."

"His cultivation talent is exceptional but limited to a state region. Compared to the true prodigies of the Xuanhuang World, he still falls quite short."

"Why was he selected by the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals?"

Li Fan felt some confusion in his heart.

However, puzzled as he was, it didn’t impact his actions at all.

He placed the constantly shifting, cyan Reality Seducing Fruit, which was halfway between tangible and intangible, against Wei Qizheng’s forehead.

In just an instant, as the fruit completely turned ethereal, the fruit capable of controlling an Integration Cultivator was thus wasted on Wei Qizheng, who was merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Li Fan didn’t feel the slightest bit of heartache.

Although it was only a slight possibility, he had bet on it!

If Wei Qizheng could truly pass the selection, then learning the true nature of the Thirty-three Immortal Selections plan would be utterly worth it!

If he unfortunately failed, well...

Li Fan’s expression turned somewhat dangerous.

Then he would just have to work for an entire lifetime to repay his debt.

"Relying solely on this Reality Seducing Fruit isn’t enough."

Li Fan’s eyes flickered.

Within his spirit consciousness, the Final Separation Disk emitted a lustrous white light.

A moment later, it appeared in Li Fan’s hand.

Li Fan took a deep breath, and after swiftly setting up an array technique around it, he used his finger as a sword and fiercely slashed down.

The Final Separation Disk quivered slightly as a thin layer was sliced from it.

As if it had suffered a great injury, the Final Separation Disk immediately dimmed.

It seemed somewhat listless.

Seeing this, Li Fan felt a pang of distress.

He quickly returned it to his spirit consciousness to nurture.

"After all, it’s not the Final Stone Disc, just a round disc that has been cut out and fused with the Dissociation Disc,"

"Even though it inherited the partiability trait, cutting even a piece is like wounding the bone and tendon."

"You better not let me down, kid," Li Fan muttered as he carefully implanted the fragile, thin as cicada’s wings Final Separation Disk into Wei Qizheng’s spirit consciousness.

After completing these actions, under Lin Ling’s lead, he quietly left the secret room.

Leaving only the alternate self, Ji Shaoli, standing silently, waiting.

Not long after, Wei Qizheng slowly regained consciousness.

At first, he was somewhat bewildered.

Then, seeing the somewhat pale Ji Shaoli beside him, many images suddenly flooded his mind.

"Ji brother has worked hard."

"A great kindness and a great debt, Wei shall not dare to forget!"

Wei Qizheng said with great gratitude.

Ji Shaoli waved his hand, "We’re all family in the mutual aid society, naturally, we should help each other."

"It’s been a long while since the City Lord’s summons. You should go now,"

"Rest assured, with the secret technique of our mutual aid society, even if the Immortal Sovereign were to take action, he wouldn’t be able to detect the secrets in your spirit consciousness!"

His tone was full of confidence, but Wei Qizheng didn’t doubt it at all.

He nodded emphatically.
