My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 500 - 472: Heaven’s Fortune Aids Human Fortune

Chapter 500: Chapter 472: Heaven’s Fortune Aids Human Fortune

Guo Yezhong was a man who was deeply obsessed with array techniques throughout his life.

His thinking was different. He often had peculiar ideas. He also liked to drink, often sharing his unrealistic dreams with his friends after a heavy drunken stupor.

His friends simply dismissed them as drunk ramblings, mostly laughing them off.

Not too long ago, Guo Yezhong got drunk again.

He told his friends about a vision he once had in his dreams: the Tianxuan looming in the sky, like a spider web, shrouding all in its grasp, locking all creatures beneath it.

Because it was too bizarre, his friends similarly dismissed it as a joke.

It was only after Guo Yezhong sobered and was teased about his ramblings that he turned pale, warning his friends not to make light of it before storming off.

For several days afterwards, he refused to see anyone or go out.

Until suddenly, he hinted that he had some understanding and was intending to venture out to seek an opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Realm.

He left and never returned.

A few days later, a strange phenomenon from the sky led others to discover his body.

…

“Alcohol is harmful!” After sighing, Li Fan fell into deep thought.

Did the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals kill him to stop a leak?

For the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, desperately in need of array talent, there was absolutely no need.

A simple summoning order would have made him willingly shed his blood for the completion of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array. There was no need for such extreme measures.

“Then the remaining possibility is that the Five Elders Organization took action.”

“After I informed the Five Elders Organization about ‘Tianxuan Soul Locking, Xuanhuang Unification,’ they must have tried everything to probe for related information.”

“However, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ confidentiality is extremely strict and they have obtained little information.”

“Until they discovered that an unassuming Foundation Establishment cultivator was actually openly talking about visions related to Tianxuan Soul Locking while drunk.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

“And so disaster struck Guo Yezhong…”

Li Fan stroked his chin, guessing the possible course of events.

“Although Guo Yezhong has a high talent in arrays, his understanding of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array is probably limited. At most, he only had a vague concept.”

“And the Five Elders Organization’s research on array techniques is no less than the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. Given Guo Yezhong as a catalyst, it’s hard to say what the final result will be.”

“In this life, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has made a bigger fuss about the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array than in the previous life.”

“It’s almost certain that under the struggle between both sides, the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array will either not come into being.”

“Or it will transform into an existence more terrifying than in the last life.”

“I can only hope that the Five Elders Organization will show some spirit. If necessary, I can also lend them a hand.”

After contemplating in detail and recalling the array structure of the Spirit-locking Formation, Li Fan set aside his mixed thoughts.

For most of the cultivators from the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, this event that may influence the future history of the Xuanhuang World went unnoticed.

To them, life remained the same as usual.

Completing tasks, saving contribution points, exchanging techniques and cultivation resources, secluded cultivation.

Occasionally, they would take a break and have some fun.

This was their daily life.

The topics of their casual conversations usually involved which young genius had broken through or who had incredible luck and found a technique in the sect ruins.

But this year, one name became a frequent topic of conversation.

Li Fan, a cultivator from the Heavenly Machine Sect, who accurately predicted the price surge of Universal Leisure True Leaf.

Despite most of the participants of various events suffering heavy losses, leading to their immense hatred for Li Fan.

However, they did not doubt Li Fan’s ability to deduce aspects of cultivation.

Moreover, unknowingly when, a group of cultivators began fanatically praising Li Fan’s talent in the Art of Deduction.

They insisted that Li Fan’s skill was unparalleled, placing him among the renowned masters of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

It seemed as if other than the Universal Leisure True Leaf event, Li Fan had other achievements.

However, when asked about these, this group remained tight-lipped.

They wore an expression of ‘believe it or not’.

If Li Fan were merely good at deduction, an Ancient Sect of Heavenly Secrets Monk, such heated discussions wouldn’t have emerged.

The root of the issue lay in Li Fan’s ability to generate wealth.

Everyone clearly knew about the news of He Zhenghao, of the Misthaven Ocean, reaping contribution points and entrusting Li Fan to manage them, and returning them with profit after a year.

Although on the surface, this appeared to be a game of hot potato, with the backing of Li Fan’s “outstanding ability to deduce,” this again became very real.

It was difficult to accumulate contribution points! A 50% annual profit was extremely enticing!

Unable to resist the temptation, more and more cultivators sought He Zhenghao, wishing to join the next investment plan.

The overwhelming number of cultivators seeking investment left He Zhenghao, who prided himself on his worldliness, scared stiff.

He spent his days hiding inside the Liuli Island Protection Array and dared not venture out.

Only after contacting Li Fan and receiving his approval did he feel relieved.

Under Li Fan’s advice, he issued a statement.

Given the overwhelming number of cultivators seeking to invest, and with the number far exceeding Li Fan’s capabilities, he reluctantly made a decision.

This investment would only accept contributions from a maximum of 500 cultivators.

Those willing to deposit their contribution points would be accepted in descending order of offered amounts.

The news resulted in a barrage of mutters and curses from the cultivators.

After hesitating for a moment, most chose to withdraw.

However, a small group decided to place their trust in Li Fan, investing their contribution points.

After introducing competition, the contribution points gathered for the third time astonishingly ballooned to over fifteen million.

An average of over thirty thousand per person.

This was while everyone reserved some and were merely testing the waters.

He Zhenghao was overjoyed to collect so much money.

Because Li Fan saw his hard work, he promised to give him 1% of the profits as a reward.

As a result, he began to work even harder.

He even continually persuaded those who had invested, to put a little more into the pot.

While Li Fan, this so-called “massive scam artist,” was wildly collecting money.

The “Foundation Establishment Masters” of the Empire were also not idle.

Although the ten million contribution points gifted by Li Fan allowed these law thieves to finish their tasks in advance.

However, to better prepare for completely detaching themselves from the Xuanhuang World in the future, the law thieves continued to accumulate contribution points, exchanged for various resources, and secretly transported them back to the Empire.

One day, a special guest visited the island.

“After saving for so long, it should be enough.”

“Along with this renowned Foundation Establishment Master, I am sure to successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm this time.”

“At that time, I will be independent from heaven, in the vast world of Immortal Cultivation, anywhere I wish to go, I shall!”

A somewhat erratic and shabbily dressed young man stood in front of the Foundation Establishment Master’s courtyard, mumbling to himself softly.
