My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 817 - 780: Outside of Variables

Chapter 817: Chapter 780: Outside of Variables

However, perhaps it was just Xu Bai’s illusion.

The sudden intensity of emotion vanished in an instant, and when he looked again a moment later,

the other’s face was as warmly enthusiastic as before.

“It’s all right, it’s all right. It’s just that, I hadn’t expected that Taiyan Sect would actually have so many Unity-Path Cultivators. Just a bit of a shock, that’s all,” Xu Bai feigned an utterly astonished expression.

“Indeed, a sect renowned since ancient times is truly unfathomable in its profound heritage,” Xu Bai remarked with a tsk of admiration.

Everyone loves to hear flattery.

...

No sooner had these words been spoken than not only the monks leading the way ahead

but also the idlers by the roadside all cast satisfied glances their way.

This, however, only confirmed Xu Bai and Fang Zaiji’s suspicions about the abnormality of Taiyan Sect.

Because the expression of “satisfaction” had crossed their faces at the exact same instant!

“Mr. Fang, are you confident we can escape from here?” Xu Bai asked quietly, while maintaining a cheerful conversation with the monks of Tai Yan Sect.

“Sect Master, rest assured, I am working on a plan. The space in this damned place is incredibly stable. Escaping through a spatial rift will require some effort,” Fang Zaiji replied with some solemnity.

In a matter of life and death, the typically irreverent Fang Zaiji finally took on a serious demeanor.

“There’s no rush, let’s first see what the Taiyan Sect is really up to,” Xu Bai reassured.

In the time it took for the two to exchange thoughts, they had, under the guidance of the Taiyan Sect disciples, arrived at the center of the city, inside a building with a peculiar design.

Constructed entirely of blue transparent crystals.

From the outside, one could clearly see that the inside was divided into individual rectangular spaces.

In each space, a cultivator was busily engaged in their work.

“This…” Xu Bai and Fang Zaiji looked at each other.

“Let’s go. Brother Chen is already waiting inside,” the middle-aged cultivator said casually.

Stepping into this blue crystal building gave Xu Bai an experience similar to that of entering the Strategic Formation Hall of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals; he felt as if the space under his feet was moving.

Meanwhile, the transparency of the surrounding walls gradually decreased until the other areas were no longer visible.

At the same time, the decorations and furnishings inside the space were constantly changing.

Only Xu Bai and the others, standing quietly, remained unchanged.

When the crystal wall had completely turned to the appearance of a solid wall, a phantom blue figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

“Greetings, Brother Chen!”

The monks leading the way all bowed in salute.

The Blue Brilliance slowly solidified, revealing a rather handsome man.

“Chen Tianhai?!” When he clearly saw the man’s face, Fang Zaiji couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

All those present were stunned for a moment.

Chen Tianhai, however, merely glanced at Fang Zaiji, seemingly unsurprised by his presence.

“You’ve completed this mission quite well. You may leave now, I have some words to discuss with this old friend,” he instructed everyone.

Apparently having received some benefits, the group of monks from Taiyan Sect who had led the way smiled broadly with joy.

They quickly left the space.

Fang Zaiji had also calmed down slightly by this time, although the shock in his eyes was still evident as he scrutinized Chen Tianhai in front of him.

“It’s definitely him. I never imagined he was still alive…”

As he murmured to himself, Fang Zaiji explained to Xu Bai through a secret transmission, “Chen Tianhai used to be the foremost direct disciple of the Taiyan Sect and the heir to the next Sect Master. However, later on, for some unknown reason, he was stripped of all his identities. His whereabouts became unknown, and the Taiyan Sect put out a warrant for his arrest.”

“Back then, because disciples of the Taiyan Sect were involved in hunting me down, I couldn’t shake them off. It was this young man who rescued me so that I could safely go into hibernation within the Medicine King Sect.”

“I felt regret when I heard about his incident at that time. I never expected…”

“Seeing me, are you a bit surprised?” At this moment, Chen Tianhai spoke with a smile.

“After many years, you still look the same. No, for us, it has been thousands of years. For your Medicine King Sect, it was nothing more than a brief moment.”

As soon as Chen Tianhai spoke, he revealed that the Medicine King Sect had experienced the Immortal Ruins and had traveled through a thousand years of time.

“So you know about the Medicine King Sect’s attempt to flee with the cauldron back then, which was nothing but a death wish?” Fang Zaiji squinted his eyes.

“I only found out about it afterward. Otherwise, I would have insisted on joining you back then with my temperament at that time,” Chen Tianhai replied, causing Fang Zaiji to be taken aback.

“Join us?” He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“But that was the Immortal Ruins. What exactly is inside the Immortal Ruins? Don’t tell me Brother Fang isn’t curious?” Chen Tianhai counter-questioned.

“In the entire Xuanhuang World, how many people have had the chance to witness this wonder and safely return? Brother Fang, you can be considered one of the very few fortunate ones,” he said.

Fang Zaiji shrugged his shoulders, “That might disappoint you. Soon after entering the cauldron back then, I directly entered into a sleep within the [Great Dream Spring Autumn Array].”

Chen Tianhai nodded slightly, “That’s a deed you would do. Brother Fang truly has an easygoing nature.”

At this moment, Xu Bai suddenly interjected, “You’re very interested in the Immortal Ruins? Actually, we have recorded the events of that year.”

Only then did Chen Tianhai look at Xu Bai somewhat solemnly.

“Beyond the variables…”

He muttered to himself while his eyes flashed with excitement.

“As expected, this variable comes from the Medicine King Sect!”

“Old Chen, what are you muttering about?” Fang Zaiji was a bit confused by Chen Tianhai’s words.

“Brother Fang, who is this? You’ve yet to introduce me,” Chen Tianhai said.

“Ah! This is…” Fang Zaiji glanced at Xu Bai.

After receiving a signal from the other’s gaze, he then spoke the truth, “This person is the current Sect Master of our Medicine King Sect, Xu Bai!”

“Hmm?” A look of astonishment flickered in Chen Tianhai’s eyes.

He then stared intently at Xu Bai, frozen like a stone statue.

It was only after the repeated calls from Fang Zaiji that he finally snapped back to reality.

His interest in looking at Xu Bai grew stronger.

“The Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect, actually wanting to join our Taiyan Sect. You really don’t have any good intentions,” Chen Tianhai shook his head slightly and said.

“Now that the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals wants to sweep through the Ten Thousand Realms of the Xuanhuang World. Medicine King Sect, Taiyan Sect, all will eventually be integrated into the Immortal Alliance. We’re all part of the Immortal Alliance, what differences could there be between sects? To tell the truth, if you offer enough benefits, it wouldn’t be impossible for me to join your Taiyan Sect,” Xu Bai said with a composed expression.

Chen Tianhai was suddenly at a loss for words.

“You’re not wrong. The era that belonged to the sects has already passed,” he said wistfully.

“But you joining our Taiyan Sect…” Chen Tianhai’s movements once again paused for a moment.

Then he shook his head slightly.

“Let’s forget it. We can’t accommodate someone of your stature.”

“Besides, the cost of joining us…”

“Perhaps you might not be willing to accept it either,” Chen Tianhai spoke with an inexplicable tone.
