My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 572 - 544: Mistakenly Made as Heaven revered

Chapter 572: Chapter 544: Mistakenly Made as Heaven revered

“Unlike us mere mortals, sir must certainly have greater aspirations.”

“The official positions in the Immortal Alliance that we yearn for, he may not hold in esteem.”

“Although sir conceals it well, those who genuinely crave power can see it at a glance.”

In a low voice, Gao Yuan said slowly.

Upon hearing this, He Zhenghao’s expression turned solemn, and he nodded in agreement.

“As far as I know, the Emissary was actually forced to accept the position of acting island master of Ten Thousand Immortals Island. The order to rebuild the Immortal City was like driving a duck onto a perch, a forced move,” Gao Yuan suddenly revealed.

He Zhenghao was full of surprise and showed a curious look: “Really?”

Gao Yuan nodded his head: “Although I don’t know what underhandedness lies behind this, fortunately, the Emissary has completed this task.”

“And it has changed the destiny of many of us.”

“Even though he is now the Secret Word Envoy, overseeing the governance of the entire Misthaven Ocean state, I suspect he may not be interested in personally managing affairs.”

“I also believe that with sir’s extraordinary talent, it would be a real waste if he were to spend his time on these mundane matters.”

“Sir has a bigger stage. As for these little matters, naturally, subordinates can handle them.”

“What sir needs is someone who can manage everything in an orderly manner when he is not around, without needing him to care too much.”

Gao Yuan analyzed bit by bit.

“The two tasks he assigned to us this time are just such a test.”

“And that Soul Partition Jade Scroll, it’s a trap.”

“Once we lose control of the situation and need to ask the Emissary for guidance…”

“Perhaps our positions won’t change, but in his heart, we will definitely be labeled as incompetent from then on.”

Gao Yuan said in a deep voice.

He Zhenghao was taken aback: “Is it really that serious?”

Gao Yuan huffed: “Friend, have you ever noticed sir’s gaze at us?”

“The gaze, what about it?” He Zhenghao was a little puzzled and quickly asked for clarification.

“Although sir seems kind-hearted on the surface and even respectful to subordinates at times. But actually…”

A flash of fear appeared in Gao Yuan’s eyes.

“In the depths of his eyes, when he looks at all of us, it’s the same.”

“It’s like we cultivators looking at mortal ants…”

“No, no…” Gao Yuan shook his head, his eyebrows furrowed as if searching for the right words.

After a moment, he suddenly pointed at the chairs in the conference hall and said solemnly: “Yes. In his eyes, all of us are like those, mere tools.”

“As if we aren’t on the same level of life. All of us, to him, are probably just tools…”

“When I was standing guard at the gate of the Governance Hall, I was fortunate enough to witness an Integration Cultivator. But even the Unity Immortal Monarch’s gaze at me was not as indifferent as sir’s…”

“It is said that sir is an ancient monk of the Heavenly Machine Sect. He fell into a long slumber and his cultivation level dropped to the Golden Core Realm.”

“There were also rumors of him killing several Nascent Soul cultivators with his Golden Core.”

“So, what was sir’s cultivation level during his prime in the ancient times?”

Gao Yuan’s voice grew quieter and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

He Zhenghao shivered involuntary.

The implication in Gao Yuan’s words was clear.

He suspected that Li Fan was an Immortal cultivator in the ancient times.

Because it is well known that once you step into the Immortal Realm, you achieved true transcendence.

The essence of life also changes, and their existence is completely different from those of the Integration, God Transformation, Nascent Soul, and other realm cultivators.

Only Immortal experts could look equally upon all beings in the world.

Once this view is accepted and combined with the astonishing incidents previously associated with Li Fan.

Everything suddenly becomes reasonable.

There are many cultivators in the world who are adept at the Art of Deduction, but none have heard of anyone like Li Fan, who can easily double their assets using this Art as if it’s a piece of cake.

If the Art of Deduction was indeed so magical, I’m afraid all cultivators in the world would be rushing to learn it.

The reason the Art of Deduction has never been popular for thousands of years, naturally has its own reason.

With the cultivators’ insatiable greed, there’s no reason not to take advantage of a good deal.

Only the Immortal Sovereign, who has perfected the Art of Deduction, the Immortal Sovereign, could so easily predict the future.

It’s a well-known secret in Misthaven Ocean that the sudden lockdown of Ten Thousand Immortals Island and the Five Elders Organization’s sudden attempt to snatch the entire island.

These all happened because of a prophecy.

Although everyone says the prophecy was deduced by the renowned Gongsun Qixuan.

But there are rumors that Gongsun Qixuan was influenced by Li Fan’s Art of Deduction.

Moreover, if Li Fan was indeed an Immortal Sovereign, then him killing a Nascent Soul with a Golden Core and having a puppet with God Transforming Cultivation level as a mount…

None of these would be a big deal.

If he couldn’t do these, how could he be called Immortal Sovereign?

…

The conference hall in the Governance Hall fell entirely quiet for a while.

A bizarre atmosphere was brewing between He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan.

The more they thought about it, the more reasonable and substantiated this speculation seemed.

So, they started shaking uncontrollably.

Firstly, because of a natural fear of Immortal experts.

Secondly, because…

Being the right-hand man of an Immortal Sovereign.

Even if it’s only temporary, only superficial…

It’s undoubtedly a glorious thing.

The two of them thought a lot with their hearts pounding, and it took a long time to calm down.

Ultimately, it was He Zhenghao who finally broke the silence.

He cleared his throat and said softly, “Brother Gao, everything is just your conjecture.”

“It’s better not to speak lightly to outsiders.”

“Just you and I should know.”

Gao Yuan glanced at He Zhenghao and nodded slightly: “I naturally have a measure of this.”

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was said without words.

The two of them still didn’t say a line.

If Li Fan was really an Immortal Sovereign, then they’re serving him now.

Once he recovers from his injuries and regains his cultivation level…

By then, their stage wouldn’t be this small corners of Misthaven Ocean.

He Zhenghao even thought of his wife from years ago, the flame of ambition in his eyes that had been extinguished for a long time seemed to be ignited again.

—————–

Deep in the Governance Hall.

Li Fan withdrew his attention and summoned a water mirror.

He touched his chin, looking at himself in the mirror.

“A look that disregards everything, huh…”

He stared blankly at his own eyes.
