Chapter 791: Being Outside of Variance
Chapter 785 – Being Outside the Variables
However, perhaps it was just Xu Bai’s illusion.
That morose intent was fleeting, and after a moment, when he looked again.
On the other side’s face, there was the same enthusiasm as before.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s just that I didn’t expect your Tai Yan Sect, to actually have so many Harmonious Dao cultivators. It’s just a bit of a shock.” Xu Bai pretended to look very shocked.
“As expected of a clan that has been renowned since ancient times, the depth of its foundation is truly unimaginable.” Xu Bai tsked and praised.
Flattering words were loved by anyone.
Once these words came out, it wasn’t just the few cultivators leading the way in front.
Even those idle characters along the roadside all cast satisfied gazes.
However, this made Xu Bai as well as Fang Zaiji even more certain of the Tai Yan Sect’s abnormality.
This was because they showed their “satisfied” looks in the same instant!
“Mr. Fang, are you sure you can escape from here?” While talking and laughing with the Tai Yan Sect cultivators, Xu Bai quietly asked Fang Zaiji.
“Don’t worry, Sovereign, I’m thinking of a way. This ghost place, the space is very solid. It will take a bit of effort to break through the space and vanish.” Fang Zaiji replied with some solemnity.
With life and death at stake, the always somewhat cynical Fang Zaiji finally became serious.
“There’s no rush, let’s see what’s going on in this Tai Yan Sect first.” Xu Bai pacified.
In the time it took for the two to exchange thoughts with each other, they had already arrived at the center of the city under the leadership of the Tai Yan Sect’s disciples, in a strangely shaped building.
The entire body was composed of blue transparent crystals.
From the outside, one could clearly see that the inside was divided into rectangular spaces.
In each space, there was a cultivator busy.
“This ……” Xu Bai and Fang Zaiji looked at each other.
“Let’s go. Senior brother is already waiting inside.” The middle-aged cultivator said casually.
Similar to the experience of entering the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s Formation Strategizing Hall, Xu Bai stepped inside this blue crystal building and only felt that the space he was in under his feet seemed to be moving.
The transparency of the surrounding walls also slowly decreased, and it was no longer possible to see what the rest of the world looked like.
At the same time, the decorations and furnishings within the space were constantly changing.
Only Xu Bai and the others, who stood quietly, remained unchanged.
When the crystalline wall completely changed into the shape of a wall, an illusory blue figure suddenly appeared in front of the crowd.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Chen!”
The few Taiyan Sect cultivators leading the way saluted.
The blue light gradually solidified, and a rather handsome man revealed his true appearance.
“Chen Tianhai?!” After seeing the man’s appearance clearly, Fang Zaiji unexpectedly lost his voice and shouted.
The people present all froze in an instant.
Chen Tianhai, on the other hand, glanced at Fang Zaiji, seemingly not surprised by his appearance.
“This mission, you guys did a great job. Go down first, this late friend and I, we have some things to talk about.” He instructed the crowd first.
Not knowing what benefits they had gained, the group of Tai Yan Sect cultivators who were leading the way were all smiling happily.
They soon left this space.
Fang Zaiji had also calmed down a little at this point, only that the shock in his eyes still hadn’t subsided, and he kept sizing up Chen Tianhai in front of him.
“It’s him in person all right. I didn’t realize that he was actually still alive ……”
While whispering to himself, Fang Zaiji transmitted his voice to explain for Xu Bai, “Back then, Chen Tianhai was the first direct descendant of the Tai Yan Sect, the heir to the next Sovereign. However, later on, for unknown reasons, he was stripped of all his identities. His own whereabouts are even unknown, and he is wanted by the Taiyan Sect.”
“Back then, because there were Taiyan Sect disciples involved in the hunt for me, it resulted in me never being able to get rid of it. It was only after this kid came to my rescue that I was able to hibernate safely in the Pill King Sect.” “When I heard about his incident, I even lamented for a while. I didn’t expect ……”
“Isn’t it a bit of a surprise to see me?” At this time, Chen Tianhai smiled and spoke.
“After years of not seeing you, you still look like this. No, for us, it was thousands of years. To you, the Pill King Sect, it’s only a short moment.”
When Chen Tianhai opened his mouth, he revealed that the Pill King Sect had experienced the Immortal Ruins and traveled through a thousand years of time.
“In that case, you also know that the matter of the Pill King Sect wanting to escape from the Imperial Cauldron in the first place was nothing more than asking for death?” Fang Zaiji narrowed his eyes.
“I also only realized it after the fact. Otherwise, given my nature at the time, I would have said anything to join you guys.” Chen Tianhai’s reply caused Fang Zaiji to freeze slightly.
“Join us?” He couldn’t help but be a little puzzled.
“That’s an Immortal Ruin. Within the Immortal Ruins, what exactly is there? Is it hard to believe that Brother Fang isn’t curious?” Chen Tianhai asked rhetorically.
“In the entire Xuan Huang Realm, how many people would be able to witness this spectacle and be able to return safely? Brother Fang can be considered one of those very few lucky ones.”
Fang Zaiji shrugged, “That might disappoint you. Shortly after entering the tripod back then, I directly entered the [Great Dream Spring and Autumn Formation] and fell asleep.”
Chen Tianhai nodded slightly, “It’s something you can do. Brother Fang is truly spontaneous.”
This was, Xu Bai but suddenly interjected, “You’re interested in the Immortal Ruins? In fact, we have a record of what happened back then.”
It was only at this time that Chen Tianhai looked at Xu Bai somewhat solemnly.
“Beyond the variables …….”
His mouth whispered, but a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.
“As expected, this variable comes from the Pill King Sect!”
“Old Chen, what’s in your mouth.” Fang Zaiji was a little confused about what Chen Tianhai had said.
“Brother Fang, who is this? You haven’t introduced me yet?” Chen Tianhai said.
“Ah! This is ……,” Fang Zaiji looked at Xu Bai.
After getting a look from the other party, he then said truthfully, “This is the current Patriarch of our Pill King Sect! Xu Bai!”
“Hm?” A trace of consternation flashed through Chen Tianhai’s eyes.
And then, he once again stared intently at Xu Bai, frozen as if he were a stone statue.
It was only after Fang Zaiji shouted again and again that he finally came back to his senses.
The more interested he looked at Xu Bai, the more intense his color became.
“Pill King Sovereign, actually wanting to join our Taiyan Sect. You guys really don’t have any good intentions then.” Chen Tianhai shook his head slightly.
“Nowadays, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is going to sweep the Xuan Huang Ten Thousand Realms. What Pill King Sect and Tai Yan Sect will all be subsumed into the Immortal Alliance in the future. They are all part of the Immortal Alliance, so how can there be any difference between the sects. Truly speaking, if you guys give enough benefits, it’s not impossible for me to really join your Taiyan Sect.” Xu Bai said with a self-conscious expression.
Chen Tianhai was instantly dumbfounded.
“What you said is also correct. The era that belonged to the clan has already passed.” He said with some frustration.
“But you join our Tai Yan Sect ……,” Chen Tianhai’s movements once again slightly stalled for a moment.
Next, he shook his head slightly.
“It’s better to be exempted. We can’t accommodate a character like you.”
“Besides, the price of joining us ……”
“Perhaps you may not be willing to accept it either.”
Chen Tianhai said in an inexplicable tone.
