Chapter 766: The Life of the Living is Reduced

Chapter 761: A life cut short in the afterlife
Without waiting for Zi Dome to make a statement, Xu Bai looked as if he couldn’t help himself and asked with a puzzled expression, ”This transaction is a matter of great importance, so it’s understandable for senior to come out in person. However, with senior’s strength, wanting to hide your identity should be a breeze. Why ……”

“Aren’t you afraid that we, the Overwhelming Heaven Society, will turn around and hold us to ransom when we learn of this matter?” Xu Bai’s gaze burned as he stared at the Violet Dome.

Violet Dome said indifferently, “Blackmail? Oh, don’t misunderstand. Although I’ve come on behalf of the Five Elders Association this time, it doesn’t mean anything.”

“It’s just a matter of helping to run an errand.”

Zi Dome was all emboldened, and this attitude caused Xu Bai to be a bit startled.

“No need to be surprised. In the end, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance of the [Transmission Heavenly Father]. As for me, I’ve only been loyal to Transmission of Dharma Elder. As for the rest, they are all inconsequential matters.”

“The so-called Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Diffusion is forty-nine. If the Heavenly Xuan Mirror wishes to gain insight into everything in the world, then it stands to reason that there will be things in the world that are outside of its control.”

“Otherwise, this [New Heaven] is imperfect.”

The Violet Dome tilted its head up to look up at the sky, explaining in a nonchalant manner.

“That’s why if I do this, even if the Heavenly Father knows about it, he won’t blame me. He might instead reward me.”

“Hmph, but those mundane people may not be able to know my thoughts either.”

Although it was just a few short sentences, the amount of information it contained was a bit terrifying. With these words, Xu Bai fell into deep contemplation.

“Until that realm, it may not be a good thing for you to know too much.” Not long after, the Violet Vault Immortal Sovereign spoke, interrupting Xu Bai’s thoughts.

With a casual finger, he threw over the [Empty Brightness Stone Mother] containing the trading materials.

This time, it was without making any kind of contract.

It seemed obvious that he was very confident in his own strength and wasn’t afraid that Xu Bai would play any tricks.

However, Xu Bai was still doing his usual routine, checking and verifying the list of supplies in the stone mother before handing over the fifty [Final Discs] that had been agreed upon beforehand.

“This is the first batch. The rest will need to be delivered slowly later.” Xu Bai explained.

The fifty Terminal Stone Discs were not placed in the storage space. Instead, they were like a sheet of thin paper, iterated in one place.

As the mind turned, they would separate on their own, forming a single individual.

Zi Dome took one of the disks and held it in his hands to observe it.

After a moment, he said thoughtfully, “This object looks plain and ordinary, yet it can shield the Heavenly Xuan Treasure Guide from perception ……”

“Interesting.”

Putting the Terminal Disc away, Violet Vault then explained, “For future transactions, there will be someone else to butt heads with you. If there are any sudden emergencies in your Overwhelming Heaven Society, you can still go to Liu Wenyu as well.”

“Yet don’t try to get associated with me. Although I don’t care about ……”

“But if those people set their eyes on you, even if I step in, I won’t be able to protect you.”

The figure of the Violet Vault Immortal Sovereign gradually faded, just as he came, and departed very suddenly.

“Senior, in the face of Tian Xuan Mirror’s aggressiveness, why did the Five Elders Association just repeatedly back down? Not even the slightest bit of countermeasures?” Xu Bai asked before the Violet Vault Immortal Sovereign’s figure was about to leave completely.

The Violet Vault didn’t reply, only raising his head if anything to glance at the firmament.

And then disappeared.

“Hmm?” Xu Bai also looked up at the sky.

A moment later, he was horrified.

This “sky” clearly didn’t refer to the Heavenly Xuan Mirror.

Immortal Violet Dome said that he was loyal to the [Heavenly Dharma Transmitter] from the beginning to the end.

Then his actions before he left were also obvious.

It wasn’t that the Five Elders didn’t want to counteract it.

It’s just that they didn’t dare now that the Heavenly Dharma Transmitter was around. In Xu Bai’s heart, he couldn’t help but reappear the sighing vision of Mr. Bai from back then.

“There is an immortal path in front that cannot be stepped on, and the Heavenly Dharma Transmitter is above.”

Xu Bai subconsciously clenched his hands tightly, “In the last life, perhaps it was because of Transmission of Dharma’s departure that caused Zi Dome to revert to the side of the Five Elders’ Association and become a pure spy.”

“And in this life, I performed the [Chaos] Technique, the reason why I redirected the originally departed Transmission of the Law back. Therefore, the Purple Vault still adheres to its somewhat unique stance. It did not completely act as a spy for the Five Elders’ Association.”

In an instant, Xu Bai, who had sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, had many more doubts welling up in his heart.

That was the true purpose of the Transmission of the Law.

If His ultimate goal was to transcend and leave the Xuanhuang Realm.

Then even if he cared very much about the [Chaos] Technique, he would have chosen to leave again after returning to search in vain. After returning to search in vain, He should choose to leave again.

But now a long time has passed.

The [Heavenly Dharma Transmitter] still seems to be staying in the Xuan Huang Realm and shows no signs of leaving.

“It seems that the Xuanhuang Realm has a special significance for the Transmission of Dharma. It isn’t something that can be abandoned at will.”

“Moreover, the ascension of the Heavenly Xuan Mirror in this world was inevitably permitted by Transmission of Dharma himself. He needs the Heavenly Xuan Mirror to complete its metamorphosis, yet He has acquiesced to the possible loopholes ……”

“There is a flaw in the Heavenly Dao. And so He also had to place restrictions on the Heavenly Xuan Mirror.”

……

Many possible conjectures instantly surfaced in Xu Bai’s mind.

Rarely had this body been blessed by heaven and earth and gifted with extraordinary talent. However, it was still like looking at flowers in a fog, unable to guess the intent of the transmission.

With some confusion in his mind, after returning to Sky Spirit City, he was called over by Nangong Shirong again.

“In recent times, there seems to be some bad rumors within the territory. You go and deal with it.” Nangong Shirong only inexplicably said this.

As a matter of fact, Xu Bai was only the Heavenly Liangzhou Connecting Envoy.

With something like gossip, it was only logical for either the Garrison Courtyard, or the Hall of Performing Arts to step in. But on the contrary, Nangong Shirong had only quietly handed this matter over to him alone.

Xu Bai then instantly understood.

This matter should not be made a big deal, and needed to be handled quickly and beautifully.

It was because he valued Xu Bai’s abilities that Nangong Shirong had given him the task.

If the superior has orders, the subordinate naturally cannot refuse.

“Don’t worry, my lord, my subordinate will definitely do it properly.” Arching his hand, Xu Bai assured with his head held high.

After leaving under the other party’s watchful eye, Xu Bai found someone to ask around, and only then did he find out what the “bad” rumors that Nangong Shirong had spoken of were all about.

It turned out that in Tianliang Prefecture, there was a cultivator named Peng Qing who suddenly went crazy and flew around before he died.

While flying around, he was also babbling.

Said what he originally should life five hundred years, now only live less than four hundred years, will be the end of life.

There must be thieves, born to cut his life span ceiling out of thin air.

Peng Qing cursed, and then in full view of the public, died violently.

And the death was extremely miserable, bleeding from the seven orifices, aged hundreds of years in a flash.

Appearance from the middle-aged cultivator model, in an instant into a rotten old man.
