My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 104: Forgotten Catastrophes

Zhang Haobo forced a bitter smile and was about to say something when he suddenly stopped.

After a moment, he spoke again, "I don't know your name yet? I dare not forget the favor you've done today. I'll repay it in the future!"

Li Fan smiled and did not answer. He just clasped his hands and said, "We'll meet again if fate allows."

His figure turned into a thin line and quickly disappeared from view.

In the blink of an eye, he had vanished from Zhang Haobo's sight.

Zhang Haobo squinted, "Such incredible speed. That unknown technique is truly formidable if it can render me powerless. So mysterious, I wonder about the person's identity."

After a while, he sighed and thought, "It's a pity that no matter how many secrets they have, it won't make much difference."

Zhang Haobo tilted his head and looked up to the sky, "Heaven and earth have declared killing intent. The numerous beings in the Cong Yun Sea, regardless of cultivation level or wealth, have long been destined for death."

"That red-colored figure that burned the sea......

"A Nascent Soul cultivator is already so powerful, is it really possible to defeat him?"

Zhang Haobo was in a daze.

However, after some time, his gaze gradually became more resolute. "No matter what, I will do my best to stop it."

His resolve became solid once again, and he glanced at the ruins one last time before taking off.

Not long after Zhang Haobo left, Li Fan's hidden figure reappeared.

"It seems that he hasn't lost his fighting spirit. I was overly cautious," Li Fan nodded to himself.

After some consideration, he carefully returned to the original location of the Tian Yang Cave.

He wanted to see if any treasures had survived the recent battle. However, after searching for a while, all he found was the flowing lava and nothing else.

He couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, "It's a shame. I wonder if I can reproduce the 'Mountain Meditation Technique' from the fragments."

His thoughts were mixed as he returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

The location of the Tian Yang Cave had experienced a massive battle that day, and the news had obviously spread. Many cultivators were discussing the matter, but nobody knew what had really happened or how the towering puppet had appeared.

Various opinions were expressed, but no one had the full story.

Li Fan was certainly not going to share the details of the battle.

However, while passing by the cultivators and engaging in casual conversations, he suddenly had a thought.

"Considering the recent events and the destructive power displayed during battles between powerful cultivators, they must have drawn a lot of attention. After such an event, people would discuss it, and the topic would naturally come up in conversation."

"However, when it comes to the killing intent of the heavens and earth to harm cultivators, there have had to be previous disasters. But...”

"Whether in the previous life or this one, the conversations I had with many Qi Condensation cultivators never involved any mentions of major disasters that occurred before the Cong Yun Sea."

"This thinking made me develop a sort of cognitive gap. So, when Zhang Haobo first mentioned that there might be a disaster approaching, I didn't pay much attention to it."

"In my understanding, if a place frequently experiences disasters, the residents would at least occasionally mention it in their conversations. And when outsiders arrive, they should be warned."

"So, since none of the cultivators here ever talked about any disaster, there wouldn't have been any particularly significant disasters in the past.”

Therefore, in his past life, he had merely made an inquiry to the Tianxuan Mirror, and after receiving a negative answer, he quickly forgot about it.

However, was the burning sea the first time the heavens and earth formed killing intent against the cultivators in the Cong Yun Sea?

It was unlikely.

Everything follows a gradual process.

The heavens and the earth have malevolent intentions toward cultivators.

As the number of cultivators within the Cong Yun Sea gradually increases, and their cultivation levels rise, the heavens and the earth will begin killing them off.

At first, it should only be small-scale catastrophes.

Only when the number of cultivators reaches a limit is a final removal plan initiated.

The Heavenly Spirit appears, eradicating all living beings.

Li Fan deduced this because the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in the Cong Yun Sea had already developed to such a large scale.

Would the murderous intent of the heavens and earth deliberately endure, waiting for cultivators to grow and silently bide their time?

Would it only launch a devastating strike when it couldn't tolerate them anymore?

With Li Fan's comprehension of the killing intent of the heavens and earth, it was obvious that this would not be the case.

The killing intent of the heavens and earth would always exist as long as there were cultivators.

In other words, in the past years, catastrophes must have been constantly recurring.

So what exactly led to all cultivators keeping silent about these disasters?

"Do they actively avoid mentioning them, or..."

"Were they... forgotten?"

Li Fan immediately returned to the Tianxuan Mirror and searched for keywords.

Historical calamities, catastrophes, killing intent of the heavens and earth.

The results sent shivers down Li Fan's spine.

None.

None.

None.

None.

No matter how Li Fan searched, the Tianxuan Mirror displayed no results.

After a while, Li Fan calmed down and took out a Communication Talisman, asking Yuwen Xing.

The response sent a chill down Li Fan's spine.

Yuwen Xing first denied any knowledge of previous catastrophes. Then, after repeated questions from Li Fan, he vaguely recalled that something might have happened, but he couldn't remember clearly.

He didn't think it was very important and had already forgotten about it.

Li Fan also asked several other older cultivators.

They were puzzled as to why Li Fan was asking such questions, but their answers were all similar to Yuwen Xing's.

It seemed like something had happened, but they couldn't remember.

Li Fan fell silent.

Couldn't remember?

Since when did Foundation Establishment cultivators become so forgetful?

Li Fan remembered his first encounter with a wind calamity when he arrived on Liuli Island. Even the ordinary people on the island would tell him about the scene of a more massive wind calamity that occurred over a decade ago.

Weren't cultivators supposed to have better memory than ordinary people?

Remembering disasters should make people more vigilant and help them survive future calamities more easily.

This was the proper reasoning.

But in the world now, this reasoning seems to have been forgotten.
