Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2099 - 2101: Chess Sect’s Attention

Cultivators are also people, and they understand how to evade and deflect. Chen Xi True Immortal’s response is just like Earth Realm’s buck-passing style.

However, strictly speaking, this isn’t really buck-passing. Firstly, he indeed doesn’t have that authority, and secondly, although Elder Hexu doesn’t have the power to decide, he is very responsible and straightforwardly refused Yitian’s request.

"Whether others can leave is their business. I’m just asking you one thing: what did you promise in the beginning?"

Living for over two thousand years, not having even the slightest skill in verbal sparring really would be a joke. The main thing is whether you dare to say it.

Yitian also felt helpless; he’s not the type to be shameless. "Then, can I notify fellow disciples from the Chess Sect?"

"You may," Elder Hexu nodded, "but this counts as my Xuanhuang Sect’s care, so... you understand my meaning, right?"

"I understand," Yitian nodded impatiently, "I have to accept your supervision."

This was a rule set during the negotiations; it’s somewhat like how financial giants in the Earth Realm constrain traders – there’s a big task, you can earn a lot, but during the project’s execution, you mustn’t contact the outside world.

Yitian is considered a first-rate deduction master in the Tianqin Plane, but facing the invitation from two of the Seven Upper Sects, he can’t simply refuse. Plus, the offered price was sincere, so he had no choice but agree to their supervision.

Actually, they allowed him to contact the sect, which already showed considerable regard for his feelings.

He withdrew his divine sense, while Elder Hexu just smiled and shook his head indifferently. "This generation’s Yitian is really a bit lacking. He only understands deducing time and fate, but when you’re not strong enough, it’s the human heart that should be deduced most."

Yitian contacted the Chess Sect, and naturally, Rongyang followed suit, contacting the Lingmu Sect. However, the True Immortal of the secret realm family pondered and did not contact the clan, thinking, "This kind of thing spreading out, who knows if it’s good or bad... the clan members cannot bear this variable."

They contacted whom they would, and Feng Jun felt his reasoning was strong enough, so he approached Chen Xi True Immortal again, "Can we leave now?"

"You can," Chen Xi True Immortal indeed couldn’t stop them, so he stated, "Count me in, I also want to go over and see, but of course... I also hope you won’t spread the matters here."

Feng Jun glanced at him, "Come on, you’ve said everything already, what more could I say?"

"It’s not like that," Chen Xi True Immortal shook his head, speaking seriously, "You come over, and there’s so much deduction, right? Maybe you think it’s not important, but if it truly wasn’t, why would Elder Hexu pay upper spirit to you?"

"If you want to follow, then follow," Yi Jue True Immortal spoke up, "But I estimate you won’t get anything from the Jinwu Sect."

"Whether I get anything or not, I’ll accept," Chen Xi True Immortal smiled, "As long as I can confirm that Mountain Master Feng can handle the Domain Curse, it’ll make things easier for me here. I have high hopes for Mountain Master Feng."

Feng Jun could understand this sentiment; in fact, he could feel that both Chen Xi True Immortal and Wan Qing True Immortal had a favorable impression of him.

However, the Xuanhuang Sect only wants to enjoy the atmosphere of camaraderie, and might even have other thoughts, yet they won’t fulfill their duties – they don’t even want to dispatch the Golden Core Peak, making it difficult not only for Feng Jun but putting Chen Xi True Immortal in a tight spot too.

So now he’s showcasing some other abilities, and Chen Xi True Immortal is willing to help spread the word – personal likes and dislikes aside, what’s important is that it’s genuinely beneficial for the Xuanhuang Sect.

Thus, Chen Xi True Immortal’s explanation seemed very reasonable to Feng Jun. "So can we leave now?"

The three were just about to set off when a wave of spatial fluctuation occurred, and someone rushed over – it was none other than Hua Sheng True Immortal from the Yuangang Sect. "Going to the Jinwu Sect? Count me in."

Every time Feng Jun saw him, he’d feel a bit comical – Gao Qiang, what are you doing here? These two look too much alike.

However, it made no difference whether there was an extra person, so the four of them instantly arrived at the Blazing Flame Plate.

Arriving at Blazing Flame, Feng Jun was a bit dumbfounded. Although he landed in an inconspicuous place, after only a few steps, someone came over to investigate his identity – do you not have entry procedures?

This entry isn’t to the Tianqin Plane but to the Blazing Flame Plate – this is considered the core area of the Jinwu Sect, where everyone entering must have a badge. Those without a badge are strictly prohibited, and it doesn’t relate to whether you have Tianqin identity.

Feng Jun’s previous entry was with Wan Qing True Immortal, so naturally, he didn’t encounter any issues. But this time, he came on his own and appeared in a remote location, which in others’ eyes, naturally seemed a bit sneaky.

Feng Jun couldn’t explain his arrival but wasn’t bothered. "A few days ago, I came with Wan Qing True Immortal, alongside Jiu Wei and Wu Nan True Immortal. May I ask if they are currently here?"

When he said this, someone remembered that this person had indeed come here before. However, since this time there was no one to guide them, the key point was that there was an added Hua Sheng True Immortal, so they still couldn’t be let through immediately.

And what was worse, at this moment, Wan Qing True Immortal was unexpectedly not on the Blazing Flame Plate. Not only was he absent, but even Wu Nan and Jiu Wei True Immortals were not there. After some inquiry, they found out that the three True Immortals had returned to the Jinwu Headquarters.

However, the response from the Jinwu Headquarters was not slow. They immediately went to contact these three, but it was not possible to reach them at once, and Feng Jun needed to wait in place for two days.

Recently, Wu Nan True Immortal was actually quite busy. Besides having to invite people to help him stand by, he also had to collect Formation Materials. Although there weren’t many particularly precious materials, gathering them all still took quite some time.

Hua Sheng and Chen Xi didn’t find anything wrong with this. The cooperation and competition between the seven sects was within the norm, and entering without a justified reason and alarming the other party was quite normal.

What’s more, Feng Jun’s random Teleportation without any signs was truly unreasonable, catching them off guard. It would be strange if the Jinwu Sect were not a bit cautious.

A day later, the Jinwu Sect finally got in touch with Wan Qing True Immortal. He was quite surprised at Feng Jun’s return, but upon hearing that along with Yi Jue and Chen Xi, a Hua Sheng True Immortal had also arrived, he somewhat understood.

He mediated in the center and resolved Feng Jun’s issue of unauthorized entrance. However, at the same time, he stated that he was currently unable to leave Jinwu Headquarters and that Feng Jun should either wait for two days or go to Jinwu Headquarters.

He warmly invited Feng Jun to the headquarters and even offered to resolve the invitations for Yi Jue and the other two True Immortals, but Feng Jun insisted, "I will wait for you at the Blazing Flame instead."

There’s nothing he could do; he was exceptionally remarkable. Even the Xuanhuang Sect couldn’t help but try some underhanded tricks. Naturally, he wouldn’t go testing human nature. Young men traveling abroad indeed need to be cautious to protect themselves.

Hua Sheng and Chen Xi True Immortals both agreed that Feng Jun’s caution was necessary, "Why go to the Jinwu Mountain Sect when matters can be resolved at the Blazing Flame? Over there, there are quite a few old fogeys that won’t listen to reason."

Since Feng Jun’s identity was confirmed, at least they could enter the living area, which was strictly speaking the guest area, and moreover, the VIP area, where safety was adequately guaranteed. Of course... it also meant they couldn’t avoid the "close protection" of Jinwu disciples.

After spending one night, the next day, two True Immortals from the Chess Sect also arrived. One was Zhi Shui True Immortal at the Nascent Soul Peak, and the other was Wen Jie True Immortal at the Nascent Soul Fifth Level. Wen Jie True Immortal was one of the two holders of the Yidi title.

The two entered through regular application channels, naturally finding themselves in the "VIP area". However, upon arriving in the VIP area, they didn’t rest and directly visited Feng Jun.

Perhaps prompted by some hint from Yitian, their attitude was very amiable. Yidi even seemed to show some disciple courtesy, immediately presenting four-color rare Exotic Fruits and two pieces of blood meat from a Nascent Soul Monster Beast.

Feng Jun firmly refused, clearly stating, "I know that when gifts are given, there must be a request. If you wish to discuss something, you can speak directly. Doing this makes me cautious instead, making it harder to achieve your goal."

After some polite refusals, the two simply left the gifts aside and then directly asked, "We heard from Yitian that fellow Daoist has mastered the art of removing Domain Curses, and the method might be the ancient ’Soul Confinement Art.’ Is that true?"

Feng Jun denied the Soul Confinement Art, stating that he wasn’t sure whether it was or not. However, he did deduce a method to remove curses, though it hadn’t been tested, so he couldn’t guarantee its effectiveness.

Zhi Shui True Immortal candidly expressed, "We hope to obtain this solution. What kind of price would it cost?"

Feng Jun straightforwardly replied, "I’ve already given the solution to Wu Nan True Immortal. If you truly want it, go negotiate with him. I wouldn’t sell the same solution twice."

Zhi Shui True Immortal wouldn’t believe that reason. In fact, on the Tianqin Plane, it’s perfectly normal for genuinely effective solutions to be sold dozens of times. If you could prevent the solution from spreading, selling it thousands of times wouldn’t be a problem.

He believed Feng Jun’s answer was perfunctory, mainly aiming to use the influence of the Jinwu Sect to resist pressure from the Chess Sect.

However, this reason was legitimately diplomatic. If they didn’t want to offend the Jinwu Sect, they still needed to follow the procedures.

Zhi Shui True Immortal could only apply through official channels to the Jinwu Sect to meet with Wu Nan True Immortal.

He could contact through private channels, but in the end, such matters would surely develop into communications between sects. Roundabout attempts to contact the other party weren’t very meaningful and would only make them seem petty.

Since it was through formal channels, it quickly caught the high attention of the Jinwu Sect. They wanted to know what had happened to Wu Nan True Immortal that had prompted the Chess Sect’s Zhi Shui True Immortal to request a meeting.

At the moment, Wu Nan was disguised as an unfamiliar True Immortal, purchasing the last two kinds of materials. Not only were the selling prices high, but the sellers also wanted to know what he intended to do with the materials. Wu Nan had no choice but to put on an attitude of "take it or leave it" and outlast his counterpart in a battle of patience.

At this time, he received an urgent contact from the sect, and after some thought, he proactively reached out to Wan Qing True Immortal to find out what had happened.
