Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2084 - 2086: The Appearance of the Xuanhuang Sect
The Golden Tribulation Thunder brought by Hua Sheng the True Immortal was blocked by the Seven-Star Causal Formation, but ultimately struck the Golden Core Cave Mansion.
However, by this time, the Tribulation Thunder had turned white, looking no different from ordinary Tribulation Thunder.
Immediately after, the second Tribulation Thunder was still a pale gold, again blocked by the Seven-Star Causal Formation. It wasn’t until the third Tribulation Thunder descended that it became a genuine white, followed by the fourth Tribulation Thunder.
On White Pebble Beach, a second Golden Core cultivator appeared, who faced more than just three Tribulation Thunders.
Although this Disciple of the Ten Directions Platform was quite wealthy, he was scorched black by the four Tribulation Thunders, nearly dissipating into nothingness.
Yet, the Golden Core Reformation Pill was not affected by the Tribulation Thunder, suggesting that the destiny and cause of this item were understood by the heavens above.
In fact, it was indeed the case for Golden Core cultivators. Mind their own business during Core Formation, and who would disturb them?
This Disciple of the Ten Directions Platform was straightforward. Though only a breath away from death, he raised his hand and summoned the Reformation Pill, swallowing it in one gulp.
Many people shook their heads secretly at the sight, and Mei Jiushan smacked his lips, "Tsk, as expected of the Ten Directions Platform, loaded with resources..."
After forming the Golden Core, the Heavenly Dao Restoration Force descended. It was said that as long as the injuries weren’t too severe, ordinary elixirs could suffice for recovery. The Ten Directions Platform disciple shouldn’t lack such pills, so swallowing the Reformation Pill seemed a bit wasteful.
Just then, Qu Jianlei approached, glanced at him and smiled after hearing his words, "Do you think he would certainly survive if he didn’t swallow it?"
Mei Jiushan suddenly realized and stopped speaking.
With the Golden Core Reformation Pill, the disciple’s recovery ability was astounding, and soon he sat cross-legged to meditate.
Two days later, Mei Yeyu felt signs of forming his Golden Core and applied to Feng Jun to use the Golden Core Cave Mansion for seclusion.
Feng Jun calculated and found that the success rate was indeed seventy-three percent. In the future, this person’s highest Core Formation success rate would only be seventy-five percent, so he agreed.
However, since everyone was currently isolating in the Cave Mansion to increase the number of Golden Core cultivators, Feng Jun was no exception, and it would take another four days to complete the modification.
Three days later, as Feng Jun was conducting tests after the isolation of the mansion completed, he suddenly felt a powerful divine sense descending, "Chen Xi of the Xuanhuang Sect requests to meet Mountain Master Feng of White Pebble Beach."
Feng Jun shook his head in frustration, "It’s getting livelier by the day."
Despite the annoyance, a True Immortal visiting required a proper greeting according to etiquette, so he had to go out to welcome them. Fortunately, Wan Qing the True Immortal, hearing it was Chen Xi, willingly offered to accompany him for a look. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
It turned out Chen Xi the True Immortal was quite renowned in Xuanhuang Sect, being in the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer at just over eight hundred years old. Though not exceedingly remarkable, his cultivation path was exceptionally steady, advancing seamlessly when due, without ever making a mistake.
Moreover, his combat strength was immense. At the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer, he once overpowered two Nascent Soul High Stage, although those two were Loose Cultivators whose foundations surely couldn’t compare to those of the Seven Upper Sects. Nonetheless, to transcend realms and win one against two, showcased his formidable prowess.
Wan Qing the True Immortal had never met him but had heard of his reputation. The reason for his proactive welcome was primarily because... the Kunhao Plane wasn’t the territory of the Xuanhuang Sect, although the Tianxin Platform and Wuyou Platform had some ties, they weren’t directly under its jurisdiction.
It’s normal for a True Immortal to handle matters across planes, as long as the rules are followed. But since Wan Qing the True Immortal encountered this, he naturally had to show face. It was also to subtly hint to the other party—I’m here to welcome you as a semi-landlord.
Claiming sovereignty is always the correct action, and since Yi Jue the True Immortal wasn’t interested, he had to step up.
Sure enough, Chen Xi the True Immortal didn’t come alone; there were two Golden Core Peak, four Initial and Intermediate Level Real Persons, and three Outermost Dust Peak following him.
Chen Xi the True Immortal was a gorgeously handsome young man, appearing around seventeen or eighteen, who would without any makeover, be a top-tier fresh-faced idol in the Earth Realm. After greeting Feng Jun, he cupped his hands towards Wan Qing the True Immortal, "Daoist fellow Wan Qing, you’re indeed here."
Wan Qing the True Immortal, whose beauty did not lose out to him and even had a touch more allure, covered his mouth and laughed, "I’ve long heard of Chen Xi Daoist’s charismatic demeanor; meeting you indeed exceeds the reputation... How did you know I was here?"
"I heard it from Daoist Hua Sheng," Chen Xi the True Immortal laughed heartily, "I’ve told him not to pinpoint White Pebble Beach, but he wouldn’t listen... Haha, didn’t the Domain’s Force exclude him?"
Feng Jun listened, greatly surprised, "Dare I ask Chen Xi the True Immortal, do you know the purpose of Hua Sheng the True Immortal’s visit?"
"Is this surprising?" Chen Xi the True Immortal looked at him puzzled, "The Xuanhuang Sect and Yuangang Sect share a border, and the interdimensional space appeared in our adjacent area... naturally, our two sects cooperated."
The Tianqin Plane is vast, but the Seven Top Sects, Eighteen Paths, and Three Hundred Secret Realm Families have carved up most of the regions; Yuangang Sect and Xuanhuang Sect are not exactly adjacent, but the buffer zone between the two is indeed not large.
If these two sects wish to collaborate in the buffer zone, who could stop them?
True Immortal Yi Jue is well aware of this; knowing that if these two sects collaborate, other sects will not be able to share this piece of cake unless invited—this has always been the rule in the Tianqin Plane.
He intended to ask about the news of the alternative space but felt embarrassed to bring it up abruptly, so he spoke with a smile, "So Fellow Daoist Hua Sheng has returned. I thought he was going to stay in the Nine Heavens Fierce Wind for a while."
Being excluded by the Weimian’s Force doesn’t mean ’returning to where you came from,’ but rather being excluded from the plane and then needing a process to return to the point of departure.
If one lacks the ability to return to the point of departure, one can only wait for months, years, or even decades for the repelling force to dissipate completely to return to that plane via the original path.
"I have already told him not to locate White Pebble Beach," True Immortal Chen Xi said with a happy smile, "In case he encounters Tribulation Thunder, he will definitely be at the center of the Thunder... He stubbornly refused to believe it, so there’s nothing I can do."
"Oh?" Feng Jun was intrigued. He raised his hand to cup respectfully, "May I ask True Immortal Chen Xi, definitely descending at the center of the Tribulation Thunder... is there any reason behind this?"
True Immortal Chen Xi looked at him meaningfully and spoke with a smile, "If there’s truly the Fellow Daoist Aura at White Pebble Beach, it should be this way. If there’s Tribulation Thunder and he didn’t end up in the center, it indicates there isn’t a Fellow Daoist Aura."
Feng Jun nodded in sudden realization, "So there’s such a saying. Xuanhuang Sect’s Fellow Daoist Aura has persisted for decades, definitely mastering quite a few rules. Many thanks for the guidance."
"Haha, just saying thanks isn’t enough," True Immortal Chen Xi laughed heartily, "Mountain Master Feng, although it’s a small, insignificant experience, I can assure you, apart from Xuanhuang Sect, no other sect knows this secret."
Oh, what do you mean by that? Feng Jun was momentarily taken aback; he indeed likes dealing with straightforward people, but True Immortal Chen Xi’s way of speaking might not be limited to straightforwardness.
He had met those who kept secrets strictly—too many to list—and he had also seen those who didn’t regard secrets seriously, such as True Immortal Yi Jue—anything not absolutely confidential, she would casually reveal because once cultivators reach higher realms, their perspectives change.
But True Immortal Chen Xi was generous with revealing secrets, but still wanted to clearly build rapport; Feng Jun did not quite understand his approach.
This secret, to say exclusive, is indeed exclusive, but is there any genuine value...? What value is there to talk about? And now it’s not so exclusive anymore; at least True Immortal Wan Qing knows it, and True Immortal Hua Sheng knows it too.
So he laughed and nodded, "Thanks for the guidance, True Immortal Chen Xi. If you hadn’t said it, I truly wouldn’t have thought about this layer. Xuanhuang Sect’s depth of legacy spanning hundreds of thousands of years is indeed extraordinary."
He had no intention of asking for reasons, but True Immortal Chen Xi candidly expressed, "This secret only holds significance for you, knowing it means nothing to others... because the Fellow Daoist Aura only exists at White Pebble Beach, right?"
Upon seeing the situation change, True Immortal Wan Qing subtly sought some reaction time for Feng Jun, "You do underestimate us Jinwu Sect, don’t you? The emergence of Fellow Daoist Aura largely depends on luck, how can you be so sure our Jinwu Sect won’t produce any Fellow Daoist Aura later on?"
"Even if it does emerge, you’ll still have to figure out some patterns," True Immortal Chen Xi responded with a smile, "A True Immortal entering the center of Heavenly Tribulation often leads to failure in Core Formation, lowering the Fellow Daoist Aura... Even if successful, a True Immortal’s involvement will still reduce the aura."
"Precisely for this reason, I recommended Fellow Daoist Hua Sheng bring the Seven-Star Causal Formation... Otherwise, how could he possibly carry such a rare formation on him?"
"You’re not telling the truth," True Immortal Wan Qing shook her head, "Had you spoken the truth, he wouldn’t have taken this risk."
"It’s not that I didn’t want to speak the truth," True Immortal Chen Xi continued to smile, "I just knew that if I spoke the truth, he might not even note down the spatial anchor... You should have heard about the arrogance of Fellow Daoist Hua Sheng; he’s a Nascent Soul seedling."
Feng Jun finally spoke up, "Then True Immortal Chen Xi’s intention of coming is?"
"Hua Sheng was excluded by the Kunhao Plane, and can’t return shortly," True Immortal Chen Xi spread his hands, smiling brightly, "So I came in his stead to request Mountain Master Feng to help deduce the origin of the alternative space... He knows his storage bag exploded."
Feng Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "If not deducing at the Tianqin Plane, that’s no problem, and no need to discuss costs... Consider it as thanking True Immortal Chen Xi for revealing that secret."
"No," True Immortal Chen Xi waved it off, finally retracting his smile to speak earnestly, "The deduction fee should be calculated as it is meant to. My discussion about knowing the Fellow Daoist Aura was just to assist some lower-level cultivators from our sect in earning rapport."
He didn’t need to specify what rapport to cultivate; everyone present understood.
Before Feng Jun could respond, True Immortal Wan Qing gently coughed, "Fellow Daoist Chen Xi, this Kunhao Plane... doesn’t seem to have any relations with your Xuanhuang Sect, does it?"
