Chapter 442
Is the Small World not located in the same space-time as the Xuanhuang Realm?
As the woman in the green dress looked at Li Fan with a half-smile, his thoughts were racing.
Is it true, or false?
Is this a test, or a fabricated lie used as a bargaining chip?
In a flash, Li Fan quickly analyzed the situation.
If the other party had already figured out that he was a complete fraud, they wouldn’t waste time explaining anything.
Instead, the logical choice would be to either run away or set a trap to capture him and force a confession.
This meant that, to a large extent, the woman in green was still unsure of his identity.
After all, in the history of the Xuanhuang Realm, there really had been instances where the Small Worlds united to launch a counterattack against the Cultivation Realm.
If the Small World and the Xuanhuang Realm were not in the same space-time, and if he were truly an emissary of the "Messenger of the Federation of All Worlds", he would definitely be aware of this.
Given that the future of the empire was at stake, the Saint Master would not fabricate a lie that could be easily exposed.
Therefore, what she said might very well be the truth.
At the very least, it was true in the eyes of the woman in green.
A question naturally arose.
Since the Small World and the Xuanhuang Realm are not in the same space-time, then why, when faced with the threat of the Immortal Ruins, didn’t the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm choose to escape to the Small World through the Path of Immortal Severance and sever all ties with the Xuanhuang Realm?
If Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, and Dao Integration stage cultivators might struggle due to the lack of spiritual energy in the Small World and inability to cut off the passage, then for Longevity Immortal, these limitations should be negligible.
So why didn’t the Longevity Immortal escape?
The answer to this question could only be one of three possibilities: they were unafraid, unwilling, or unable.
Unafraid?
In his past life, the The One Unified Heart Heavenly Sovereign retreated in the face of the spirit-locking formation’s threat of mutual destruction. This indicates that even Longevity Immortal couldn’t survive the Immortal Ruins.
Thus, this possibility could be ruled out.
Unwilling? Righteous and resolute, they would rather die than leave. Following the Xuanhuang Realm to fall into the Immortal Ruins?
Judging from the current cultivation paths of the cultivators in this realm, this wouldn’t be the choice of the present Longevity Immortal.
This leaves only one answer.
The Longevity Immortal are unable to leave the Xuanhuang Realm?
As this thought crossed his mind, Li Fan found it absurd and laughable.
The strength of Longevity Immortal-stage cultivators was terrifying.
How could it be possible...
But Li Fan suddenly froze.
What if... What if it were true?
For a long time, Li Fan had a question.
Why does going against the principles of heaven and earth lead to achieving longevity?
All living beings have a finite lifespan.
This was one of the reasons why the number of cultivators couldn’t be too large.
Li Fan thought back to when the Ten immortal Sects offered a reward for the Xuantian Treasure Mirror.
They claimed that anyone who possessed this mirror could exchange it for a seat as a Longevity Immortal.
"It seems that in ancient times, the Longevity Immortal stage might also have been achieved by some means of stealing the original principle of longevity from the world."
Li Fan mused.
After this line of reasoning, Li Fan felt a slight sense of disappointment.
The Longevity Immortals of the Xuanhuang Realm seemed to fall short of his ideal of "longevity."
They merely borrowed the power of the world to gain a lifespan that wasn’t truly their own.
"Fake longevity, huh..."
"But strictly speaking, it’s not something particularly unacceptable."
"After all, the 'Longevity Immortal Stage' in this realm was merely an attempt by cultivators to extend their lives after the Immortal Path was severed in the Xuanhuang Realm."
"And it might not be impossible to go further."
Li Fan thought of the Dao Transmission Heavenly Sovereign who disappeared in his past life.
"This pioneer of new methods might have already broken free from the world’s constraints."
"No wonder in the last life, the Heavenly Sovereign Of Dao Transmission didn’t appear for thousands of years. And even when wars broke out from time to time, the Sovereigns of the Five Elders Association never intervened."
"Because in the eyes of the Five Elders Association’s Sovereigns, if the Longevity Immortals stage can’t leave the Xuanhuang Realm, then the Dao Transmission Sovereign must still be somewhere."
"They were held back merely by an agreement on a piece of paper."
"Until later, when they realized something was wrong, they became desperate to act personally..."
The effects of the Enlightenment Pill hadn’t completely faded.
In a sudden flash of insight, through a fact inadvertently revealed by the woman in green, Li Fan deduced a possible and logically consistent truth about the Xuanhuang Realm.

[New TL Notes: I'm disappointed to see that "My Longevity Simulation" has been dropped again, this time by another translator. As one of my favorite ongoing xianxia novels, it's disheartening to see it without a reliable English translation. Many of you have been eager to read this story in well-translated English but were forced to rely on mtl or raw chapters. I believe this story and our community deserve better!
I'm Taking on the Challenge!*
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be translating "My Longevity Simulation"!
But Please note that I'm already working on another novel, "The Path of Immortality: Starts with Creating Water Bear Gu." I hadn't planned on adding another project until I caught up with the raw chapters, but my love for "My Longevity Simulation" won me over, and I also think of this as opportunity to reread and refresh my memory as I read it many months ago.
Some Important Details To Note*
As the third translator of this novel, I would like to bring to your attention that there may be slight variations in wording, terminology, techniques, and naming conventions compared to previous translations. This is a natural consequence of the translator's changing midway, where different interpreters may choose to express using different terms and styles.
In the event that you notice any discrepancies or have differing opinions on specific translated words or phrases, please do not hesitate to share your feedback in the comments section below. Your input is invaluable in helping me refine the translation and ensure its accuracy.
Just a heads up - you might notice some weirdness with names and stuff at first, but don't worry, it gets easier as you keep reading! The more you dive in, the more familiar everything will feel.
Since many chapters have already been translated by previous translators, I'll start translating from chapter 439, right after the previous translation ended.
Your Support Means Everything!*
To keep myself motivated and post daily chapters, I need your support. You can help me by visiting my Patreon page: /SpiritStonetranslation) and of course, Patreon supporters will receive an extra chapter.
Thank you for your support, and I look forward to sharing this amazing story with you!]
