Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2092 - 2094: Wasteland
Feng Jun made two round trips to bring the relevant people to the Blazing Flame.
He bid farewell to the three True Immortals at Jinwu and promised to return to pick them up before leaving Jinwu Station.
True Immortal Jiu Wei was still somewhat reluctant, "Ah, I really want to go with you to deduce the alternate space, why don’t you wait for a bit?"
His main task now is to help True Immortal Wu Nan invite high-rank practitioners to Qingping; this is Wu Nan’s matter. But as an adept fellow in deductions, witnessing it is also his unshirkable responsibility, and he even wants to witness Wu Nan’s communication with the Qingping Realm.
In comparison, the deduction of alternate spaces has a somewhat lower priority.
At this moment, he truly understood True Immortal Yi Jue’s feelings a bit; being with Feng Jun allows one to witness so many wonders, it’s simply dazzling. If given the choice, he would also wish to stay at White Pebble Beach in the coming days.
Feng Jun, however, smiled and shook his head, turned around, and left, "In a month, I’ll come to pick you up."
"No need for a month, half a month will do," True Immortal Wan Qing spoke up, "I still need to go to Crimson Phoenix."
His fundamental task upon coming to Kunhao was to witness Xia Nichang forming her Nascent Soul. But in total, he stayed at Crimson Phoenix for less than two days, spending the rest of the time at White Pebble Beach.
Of course, forming the Nascent Soul is a lengthy process, and he doesn’t need to stay at Crimson Phoenix all the time. But now returning to Blazing Flame, he remembered his task again, such an attitude is truly rare.
Feng Jun frowned slightly; he had based the time on a month, "Half a month... is it enough to complete the tasks?"
"Almost, right?" True Immortal Wan Qing thought for a moment, realizing that time might really not be sufficient, as inviting the upper ranks takes time and there’s also the travel to Qingping Realm. The crucial part is not knowing if the Domain Consciousness there is easy to communicate with, "How about twenty days?"
True Immortal Chen Xi, listening from the side, felt a pang of jealousy; upon arriving at the Blazing Flame Plate, he understood Feng Jun primarily took the Jinwu practitioners to Tianqin. Thinking of how he went out of his way to invite people only to end up as a "tag-along," was quite dispiriting.
But at this moment, he couldn’t voice this, so as they walked out, he casually asked, "Crimson Phoenix is Jinwu’s subordinate sect at Kunhao, right? Wan Qing friend going there, is there any particular reason?"
True Immortal Yi Jue maintained her usual aloof demeanor, typically not answering, but Feng Jun couldn’t afford not to answer, "True Immortal Wan Qing has some people at Crimson Phoenix he cares about and plans to visit."
True Immortal Chen Xi smiled, a bright sunshine-like smile, "It’s Xia Nichang from the Crimson Phoenix Sect, right?"
Feng Jun immediately understood; True Immortal Chen Xi surely did some homework, likely guessing the causal link to Xia Nichang’s Nascent Soul formation.
Just then, he felt fortunate for not speaking carelessly. Although he didn’t clearly explain the reason, he managed to remain vague enough without lying. Never underestimate others.
Regarding this question, he could only smile, displaying a look of "I’m not at liberty to answer."
True Immortal Chen Xi saw his expression and became interested. In fact, he was curious about the legend concerning the deduction of forming the Nascent Soul. "What’s the likelihood of Xia Nichang forming her Nascent Soul?"
Feng Jun looked at him, and helplessly retorted, "Do you think I’m fit to answer such a question?"
Don’t casually probe into others’ privacy; this notion applies not only to the Earth Realm. In fact, True Immortal Chen Xi’s question goes beyond privacy — it would be at least a "top secret" level matter on Earth.
True Immortal Chen Xi, however, did not mind his tone, instead laughing cheerfully, "So you can really deduce the formation of the Nascent Soul; the accuracy shouldn’t be too bad, right?"
Feng Jun also knew such secrets wouldn’t be kept for long, so he didn’t deny it, only lightly coughed, "I must clarify, to date, no one has successfully formed their Nascent Soul with my help."
"What?" True Immortal Chen Xi exclaimed, slightly taken aback by this unexpected news, "Not a single one?"
"Haha," True Immortal Yi Jue snorted indifferently, thinking Feng Jun was quite a smooth talker; he only started deducing Nascent Soul formation a few days ago, yet spoke like this?
Her voice wasn’t loud, but True Immortal Chen Xi still heard it. He glanced at this famously proud individual and surmised some truths — might there be something veiled here?
So he decisively stopped pondering this matter and brought up another, "You sent those three people to the Blazing Flame; do you have some important matter? Don’t hurry to deny it... Fellow Daoist Jiu Wei originally wanted to deduce the alternate space, yet had to give it up."
Why are you always like this? Feng Jun looked at him helplessly, "You are all True Immortals; do you think I’m fit to gossip?"
True Immortal Chen Xi thickened his skin, easily letting go, he smiled brightly, "Casually chatting, I know it’s not particularly secretive, otherwise you wouldn’t even bring me to Blazing Flame... am I right?"
Feng Jun shook his head and provided a very strong reason, "I’m not the kind of person who likes to gossip behind others’ backs."
The Morning Light True Immortal fell silent, his face somewhat awkward—indeed, it was quite embarrassing.
As they spoke, they walked to the transmission array, first transmitting away from the Blazing Flame Plate to an ordinary plate. Then, the Morning Light True Immortal released an array plate to activate it, letting everyone step inside, and then pinched a spell, "Let’s go!"
The next moment, everyone found themselves on a small rock, less than ten thousand miles in diameter, about the size of the Moon. The barrenness here was comparable to the Moon: not lifeless, but humans were scarce, and plants were sparse.
Around their landing site, within a radius of a hundred miles, there were no people, but beyond a hundred miles, there seemed to be some housing vaguely visible.
"This is it," Morning Light True Immortal shook out a Nascent Soul Pedestrian, "Let’s rest for a while first. I will report to the sect elders to see if we can organize a Dao discussion to exchange judgments on the different space..."
"No need for a Dao discussion, I’m not interested," Feng Jun interrupted him directly, "I just want to know, where exactly is the spatial fluctuation released by the different space nearby?"
Morning Light True Immortal pointed in a direction, "Over there, about a hundred thousand miles away. Our current plate is indeed the closest to that place, so you must not leave here—this is the rule."
Feng Jun nodded, "I won’t leave, but if the deduction isn’t accurate given the distance, don’t blame me."
True Immortal Yi Jue had seen Feng Jun deduce many times, and although she didn’t know how his deduction distance was determined, thinking about it, she knew that he’d always risk getting close during others’ pill binding, indicating that distance was truly important.
For her, distance was also essential, so she declared, "Long-distance deduction needs at least the Emergence Stage; anyway, at this great distance, I can’t deduce much either."
Morning Light True Immortal hesitated, shaking his head with a bitter smile, "Why is it the same excuse? I thought you two would be different."
True Immortal Yi Jue’s face fell upon hearing this, "If we’ve disappointed you, we can leave now."
She didn’t consult Feng Jun when saying this, but she was confident he’d support her.
Sure enough, Feng Jun flashed beside her, speaking solemnly, "If this is your sincerity, Morning Light True Immortal, we can only refuse... Since we can’t deduce anything, why waste time?"
He understood his deduction’s limitations and knew Yi Jue was fighting for his conditions, so he felt inclined to strongly support her statement—if I can’t deduce, can I not leave?
"Please don’t be so impulsive," Morning Light True Immortal indeed had an intention to test their limits, but since he’d invited them, letting them walk away was absolutely impossible, "Others also need to approach for deduction..."
"Xuanhuang Sect’s operational principle is that spatial fluctuations have cycles, with a fluctuation every eight to nine days. When the time is right, we will organize and arrange everyone to approach for observation... That’s how we’ve always done it, so you can rest assured."
"As for this place, it’s where everyone usually resides... Without spatial fluctuations, there must be a place to rest."
"That’s quite reasonable," True Immortal Yi Jue nodded, "But can we not rest?"
"Please, Yi Jue Dao friend," Morning Light True Immortal pleaded with a grimace, clasping his hands continually, "Your request is indeed unique—this isn’t something I decide... For such major affairs, it’s normal for Emergence True Immortals to get involved."
True Immortal Yi Jue, from the Taixu Sect, knew some taboos and so asked, "Who’s in charge of Xuanhuang Sect this time?"
"Please don’t ask," Morning Light True Immortal couldn’t help but grimace; he knew True Immortal Yi Jue’s combat power—not just one Emergence Big Boss appreciated her, and she herself was on the verge of Emergence.
Therefore he said, "I’ll go help you fight for authorization to deduce nearby; can you wait a bit?"
"I’m just here for the spectacle," True Immortal Yi Jue stated firmly, "You don’t have to help me; just see what you can do for Feng Jun. If he’s dissatisfied and wants to leave... I’ll follow him!"
To be honest, she wasn’t very willing to give up this chance to deduce the different space. But her experience had taught her that following Feng Jun might lead to encountering bizarre things, so this chance... could be given up.
Feng Jun just stood there smiling, without saying much—when she leads the charge, what’s there for him to say?
Morning Light True Immortal didn’t say much and turned to find the Outer Hall Elder and True Immortal Hexu responsible for this matter.
Elder Hexu was also Nascent Soul Ninth Layer, but he was much more burdened than True Immortal Yi Jue of the same level.
Typically, matters involving different space contact were managed by the Outer Hall Master, but given the significance of this event, and the fact that the Outer Hall Master was busy, they had to appoint an elder to take charge.
After listening to Morning Light True Immortal, True Immortal Hexu remained silent for a while before speaking, "You can inform the other deducing cultivators."
