Chapter 1: Where Do Immortals Come From?

Grand Xuan Kingdom, Xuanjing City, Imperial Advisor's mansion.

Li Fan was holding his wine cup, looking at the civil and military officials who had come to celebrate his birthday in the hall. Even though he was now old, he could not help but feel smug in his heart.

It should be noted that today, nine out of ten court officials packed the Imperial Advisor's residence!

To think that Li Fan was just a poor scholar when he first came into this world.

Over the past fifty years, he had gone from having nothing to being an immensely powerful official. His story would be enough to write a novel with millions of words.

When life is like this, what more could one ask for?

Li Fan stroked his beard and drank the wine in his cup.

"To the birthday of the Imperial Advisor!"

The crowd of officials present congratulated in unison.

Li Fan's pride swelled.

Just then, a burst of discordant exclamations suddenly came from outside.

"Quickly look! What is that!"

"Streams of fire are falling from the sky; this is auspicious! Quickly go tell the Imperial Master!"

"How come it seems to be flying towards our Imperial Master's residence?"

......

Hearing the clamor outside the manor, Li Fan frowned.

The lobby, which was still somewhat lively, abruptly quieted down.

Li Fan got up and took the lead to walk out.

However, before he had the chance to scold his subordinates and express the dissatisfaction in his heart, he was captivated by the scenery in the sky.

Far away in the sky, two silver-colored lights, one after the other, like meteors, were speeding towards the manor.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

"This is..." Li Fan froze.

The two meteors arrived above Xuanjing City in the blink of an eye and abruptly stopped.

At the same time, a voice like thunder descended from the sky and exploded in everyone's ears.

"Dao Xuanzi! Do not overstep your bounds!"

......

The people present were horrified. A few people even called out, "Immortal master!" and directly fell to the ground in obeisance.

And a word that had been suppressed in the depths of his memories and was almost on the verge of being forgotten was suddenly popping out of Li Fan's mind.

"Cultivator... immortal cultivator!" Li Fan was stunned and muttered, "How is this possible..."

The two immortal cultivators in the sky obviously didn't care what the crowd of mortals below thought.

Only another voice rang out, "Kou Hong! Do you think I will let you go just because you escaped to this Land of Immortal Extinction? Hand over the technique you obtained that day, or I won't rest until you're dead!"

"Ridiculous! It's because of the lack of a Golden Core technique that I've been trapped in the Foundation Stage for nearly a hundred years. I'm about to turn into withered bones; my end is approaching. However, I have now finally obtained a Golden Core technique. How could I possibly hand it over to others!" Kou Hong snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.

"Indeed!" Dao Xuanzi sighed, "A Golden Core technique with no other practitioners, an irreplaceable treasure. Although many Golden Core techniques exist, innumerable cultivators are stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage!"

Dao Xuanzi's tone suddenly turned ferocious, "In that case, now that the gate to longevity is in front of me, how could I possibly let you off the hook, and how could I possibly not overstep my boundaries!"

Kou Hong laughed out loud, "It's just a single technique! It's ridiculous that despite how you and I have been brothers for a hundred years, we're now fighting to the death for a chance of survival!"

Dao Xuanzi laughed coldly and did not reply.

Kou Hong suddenly said, "I know I'm no match for you, and I'm sure I won't be able to escape today. But there are so many mortals here, and I don't know if you can withstand such a concentration of Immortal-Mortal Miasma!"

Dao Xuanzi immediately changed color: "Kou Hong! What do you want to do?"

Six prominent words lit up in the darkness, then quickly dispersed, turning into a curtain of light.

"Charging complete."

"Virtualize the current scene and return to the initial anchor point?"

Small letters appeared one after another.

At the same time, images appeared one after another, spreading over the entire light screen rapidly.

It was the fifty years of Li Fan's life in this world.

Li Fan froze for a long time as he looked at himself in the various images.

[Truth]

That was the name Li Fan gave to this rare treasure he carried with him.

It had only one function: transforming truth into falsehood and reality into emptiness!

The so-called transforming of the real into the imaginary meant transforming everything that Li Fan had experienced into a simulated illusory experience, causing Li Fan to return to the anchor point he had initially set up when he had just traveled to this world.

In fact, this timeline was Li Fan's second life.

Although Li Fan had great aspirations in his first life, he could not achieve them because of his lack of talent. After failing to pass the imperial exams repeatedly, he finally quit studying to become a merchant after turning thirty. He ran a small business, became an ordinary rich man, married, had children, and lived a normal life. It was only when he was dying of old age that he finally awakened [Truth].

This was Li Fan's second life, an unstoppable journey towards success.

It was a pity that it was ruined now.

After pondering momentarily, Li Fan did not choose to end this life immediately. Before that, he still had a few things to do.

Turning off the light screen and returning to reality, Li Fan steadied himself and dealt with the aftermath of Xuanjing's heavy damage.

After gathering the people who had survived, Li Fan stabilized the people's hearts through his years of prestige.

Even though Li Fan could not hear, he could still find a pen and paper. Although communicating was a bit troublesome, it did not hinder Li Fan's orders from being conveyed.

First, Li Fan ordered his garrison battalion outside the city to come to Xuanjing City as soon as possible to maintain order after the disaster. Then, he sent orders to the neighboring towns to transfer food, provisions, and officials to Xuanjing.

Most of the buildings in Xuanjing were destroyed, and after the garrison battalion took over Xuanjing, Li Fan stayed in the barracks to preside over the aftermath.

Li Fan's decree constantly transported materials and talents from the neighboring cities towards Xuanjing City.

After a month, the ruined Xuanjing City had slightly recovered some of its lively atmosphere.

Only after the Grand Xuan Kingdom had finally recovered from the strike by the immortals did Li Fan begin to order the people to collect information about the two immortals that appeared that night.

This included where they came from, where they traveled to, and whether they had any other conversations.

Unfortunately, after several months of investigation, nothing else was found besides knowing that the two immortals seemed to have appeared from the direction of the Ruins Abyss in the east.

Li Fan's hope of profiting from both immortals dying didn't seem to happen.

"Shouldn't have expected such a thing." Li Fan sighed in his heart. "In that case, nothing is left for me in this world."

Standing in the newly built Imperial Master's mansion, Li Fan again turned on [Truth].

"Virtualize the current scene and return to the initial anchor point?"

Li Fan no longer hesitated and chose yes.

On the light screen, countless lifelike images stood still simultaneously. Subsequently, this life's glory and wealth shattered like an illusion, transforming into countless streaks of light that flew into Li Fan's mind.

Scene after scene flashed before Li Fan's eyes like a flickering lantern. Finally, the stage was fixed on the two immortal cultivators facing each other on top of the Imperial Advisor's mansion.

"Dao Xuanzi, Kou Hong." Li Fan softly recited the names of the two. "Fifty years later, I will be waiting for you here in Xuanjing City."

"Riches and wealth are but meaningless pursuits to me." Li Fan's consciousness gradually became blurry, but his will remained stronger than ever.

"In the next life, I will capture immortals!"

The light in his mind gradually disappeared, and Li Fan slowly fell into a deep sleep.
