My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1430 - 1288_3

The surrounding space trembled slightly, and the restored pieces shattered once more.

There was something else about to be pulled from the illusory surface.

Artisan squinted his eyes, waiting expectantly while muttering, "Even the Fairy Ancestor Puppet could be moved; what can’t I handle?"

A sigh sounded out of nowhere.

And faint sounds of a zither seemed to come from beyond the horizon.

The spirited little people suddenly became listless, and started to slack off.

Artisan’s expression turned wary as he looked around.

"Why must we fight…"

Beside him, a plaintive, mournful sound echoed continuously.

Artisan glanced around, then said with a smile, "Well said! Why must we fight indeed! I, Artisan, am not one to fight…"

"Since neither of us wishes to fight, why not sit down and talk it over?"

To prove his sincerity, Artisan even put away the disk.

The little people cheered and finished their work while Artisan smiled, looking around, "I am Artisan from the Celestial Mechanism World. May I ask for your esteemed name?"

The figure was indeed a strongman of the Immortal Realm.

But during the brief scuffle with the strongman, Artisan did not notice any sign of the reversed Principle of Heaven and Earth in the Xuanhuang World.

Thus, he deduced that the other party’s identity was the same as his, a survivor from another Demise of the Cultivation World.

After a moment of contemplation, that melodious and solemn voice spoke again, "I...cannot remember."

"It’s just that I don’t wish to see strife, nothing malicious."

With that, Artisan noticed that all the cultivators from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and Sacred Dynasty Daqi within Luoyan Sky City had blissfully fallen into a deep sleep, but their lives were not in danger.

Artisan felt relieved inside.

Despite not fearing them, it was still better not to engage someone from the Immortal Realm if possible.

"Actually, we bear no ill will either..."

Artisan chatted amicably with the figure.

Over at Sun Erlang’s side, he received a message from Artisan, and sighed softly to himself, "The Immortal Realm really is vastly different from the Unity-Path."

"But if all the dark gold puppets were present…"

"It might not be impossible to fight."

…

If the defeat of the Saint Dynasty Army in Luoyan State was merely an accident.

Then their encounter in Sky-spirit State irrefutably proved that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals indeed had substantial strength.

After much effort, the Saint Dynasty Army conquered Celestial Spirit City only to startlingly find it entirely deserted.

Important cultivators within the city had already relocated.

Only a few cultivators without notable backgrounds were left, resisting with mechanisms and magic tools.

The Saint Dynasty soldiers swiftly realized it might be a trap, but it was too late to withdraw; Celestial Spirit City exploded thunderously.

The enormous Floating Sky City, along with nearly ten thousand cultivators from both sides, vanished in an instant.

In the sky, motley supernatural phenomena erupted simultaneously.

An array of mesmerizing scenes mixed and twisted, making them nearly impossible to distinguish.

In a secluded valley in Sky-spirit State,

"Thanks to Brother Sun’s reminder, we in Sky-spirit State were able to turn peril into safety." City Lord Song Mansheng stroked his beard, smiling as he spoke.

Sun Liancheng’s gaze remained fixed on the massive burst of flame in the distant Vault of Heaven, "It’s also thanks to the City Lord’s decisiveness. Without his firm actions, even if I had suggested it, the enemy casualty count wouldn’t have been as substantial."

Other cultivators in the valley eagerly concurred, "Yes, as per our observations left in the city, at least ten thousand bandits perished in the explosion."

"Heh, I think you’re mistaken. It was clearly twenty thousand!"

"...Oh, yes, yes, yes. My mistake! Indeed, it was twenty thousand! We have video evidence to prove it!"

The group exchanged knowing looks.

"Speaking of which, what’s the background of this group? Their attack was so sudden and crucially, they even managed to affect the Teleportation Array and the Tianxuan Mirror," Sun Liancheng interrupted the jubilant crowd.

"It’s probably not the Five Elders Organization. I’ve clashed with their cultivators before, and the aura I sensed from them was entirely different."

"Who cares about their background; if the Central Immortal Alliance takes action, they’ll all end up dead. Right now, they are merely audacious for the moment!"

"Lord Song, should we take advantage of the chaos and strike for more merits?"

Someone in the valley suggested.

Song Mansheng pondered for a moment but did not make a decision and instead looked towards Sun Liancheng.

Sun Liancheng narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

After a long wait, Sun Liancheng finally shook his head, "The situation is unclear, and I can’t make a judgment."

Hearing this, Song Mansheng nodded, "If so, let’s wait a little longer. We shouldn’t act rashly while the situation is obscure."

The valley’s residents naturally agreed.

But Song Mansheng and Sun Liancheng, moving away from others, had a private conversation.

"Brother Sun, you didn’t really tell the truth just now, did you?" Song Mansheng spoke gravely.

Sun Liancheng smiled bitterly, "I really didn’t dare to say it outright. I was afraid it might shake the morale of our forces."

Song Mansheng’s expression tightened, "Is it that severe?"

Sun Liancheng said, "Yes. Lord, you know that I was able to predict the raiders’ attack using the Sun Family’s fortune sensing. That day, as I was chatting with my nephew, I suddenly felt our family fortune flickering like a candle in the wind, tottering on the brink…"

"In extreme apprehension, after much effort, I confirmed that the cause didn’t come from the Immortal Alliance, but from an external source. Originally, I thought it would be an ambush by the Five Elders Organization, but it turned out to be a group of unknown bandits."

"Lately, our family’s future fortune has been unstable, fluctuating between opulence and dire omens of bloodline termination. It’s truly terrifying…" Sun Liancheng sighed.
