My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 627

As the punch landed, the entire Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance fell into a deafening silence.

The woman, however, maintained a remarkably composed demeanor as she slowly retracted her fist. "Let’s go back," she said.

The representative of the Five Elders Association’s martial faction, though visibly shaken, followed behind the peasant woman, gradually disappearing from the viewing mirror’s display.

It wasn’t until Xu Jing, the peak Soul Transformation cultivator from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, regained consciousness with a confused expression that the spectators finally snapped out of their shock.

"Wow! That old lady is insanely powerful!"

"That punch... it felt like even the Dao itself was about to be annihilated!"

"Did anyone see clearly how she struck?"

Even Li Fan and the rest of the spectators repeatedly played back the scene captured by the viewing mirror.

However, despite slowing the footage to its limits, the peasant woman’s movements remained indiscernible. All they could see was a blur before the shadow of a fist appeared, and Xu Jing was overwhelmed by the punch’s energy, falling unconscious.

"Three punches from the peasant woman can bring down the heavens and collapse the earth," someone muttered.

Even the commentator seemed stunned by the punch, as a single line slowly appeared on the mirror:

"Three punches from the peasant woman? Does that mean there are two punches she hasn’t unleashed yet?"

"Gasp! If the first punch alone could suppress someone as prodigious as Xu Jing, who could possibly withstand all three punches?"

"Shuo Feng definitely can’t handle it. What about Di Luwu?"

"Di Luwu’s speed is incredible; the peasant woman might not even be able to land a hit on him."

"I wouldn’t be so sure."

...

Amid the heated debates, the first day of the competition finally came to an end.

The result was a draw, seemingly setting a harmonious tone for this "friendly exchange meeting."

However, as the days passed, and the outcomes of the remaining contests—focused on Dao, artifacts, formations, alchemy, and talismans—all unexpectedly ended in ties, the atmosphere gradually took on a peculiar vibe.

If the draws on the first and second days could be attributed to coincidence, then six consecutive days of evenly matched results suggested something more deliberate.

It seemed as though the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association had reached some sort of secret agreement, collectively sending a subtle message to all cultivators:

A message of "peace."

At the same level of power, not to mention competing with him, even Zhong Shentong, who mastered the Seven-Colored Divine Light, might not guarantee a clear victory.

Now it seemed there was indeed something fishy going on.

Li Fan arrived at the Administrative Hall, where Hongxi was already waiting.

Hongxi lightly tapped the table, and in an instant, the world’s scenery changed.

From the Congyun Immortal City, they were transported to the peak of a mountain surrounded by a sea of clouds.

Li Fan was initially startled. But seeing that Hongxi showed no hostility, he chose to wait and observe.

"The competition is about to begin. There’s no commentary, so how much you comprehend depends entirely on your own understanding," Hongxi said, waving his hand.

In the distance, the sea of clouds surged, revealing a square seal.

The seal’s engraved patterns seemed to resemble the scenery of the Congyun Sea.

At that moment, the seal projected a beam of light upward, illuminating the sky.

In the next instant, two figures appeared.

Not only were they lifelike images, but the aura and pressure emanating from them felt utterly real.

It was as if a massive mountain suddenly weighed down on him, and Li Fan almost bent under the pressure, struggling to breathe.

His internal cave-heaven energy circulated slightly, not at full power but enough to ease the burden a bit.

Li Fan stared intently at the two figures standing above the sea of clouds.

One of them bore an uncanny resemblance to the nine-year-old Soul Transformation genius who had appeared earlier. Even their attire and weapon were identical.

However, this figure looked even younger, appearing to be only five or six years old.

"Please grant me your guidance!" the child said in a soft, milky voice, sounding utterly adorable.

But when the child made a move, Li Fan's expression changed dramatically.

With a casual swipe at the void ahead, countless silver beams descended from the sky in an instant.

As the world was dyed entirely in silvery hues, the surrounding area seemed to transform into a domain under the child’s complete control.

In Li Fan's perception, the area ahead had become akin to an independent world.

"I fear my Binding Insect Divine Ability would be greatly weakened in that space," a thought quickly flashed through Li Fan's mind.
