Chapter 693: Chapter 557 Opening Move_2
“You are a true supernatural being, a True Man. Please mind your image, consider your speech…”
“I damn well please, what the hell do you care?”
“Your damn self-cultivation is so poor…”
“You, what the fuck, aren’t you also cursing?”
“What comes around goes around, now I’m damn cursing you!”
The two lost their composure and started arguing noisily.
Someone couldn’t stand it anymore, “In front of so many people, can you both fucking mind your manners and stop cursing?!”
“You’re fucking cursing too, aren’t you?”
Someone coughed, “True Man Bai is here…”
The person stopped mid-sentence, suddenly cutting off to look up at the high seat—Bai Qiancheng, clothed in white, supremely beautiful with a clear and cold temperament—his old face flushed, and he swallowed back his words.
The crowd also quieted down, coughing a few times, clearing their throats, sitting up straight, and paying attention to their own image.
Bai Qiancheng acted as if she had heard nothing, her gaze unwavering.
The oldest person sitting at the highest seat shook his head helplessly.
His face was lined with age, wearing black robes; he had the family name Situ, a master calculator, and the Chief Elder of Mystery Valley, known as True Man Situ.
He was the person with the highest cultivation, oldest age, and longest experience sitting there, a Real Being who had undergone Feather Transformation.
True Man Situ looked around and slowly opened his mouth:
“No matter what, those of you who have undergone Feather Transformation and become true supernaturals, do not fight hastily again!”
“Feather transform sky-flying, difficult to achieve…”
“True supernatural beings, if anything goes wrong, it will be a loss for our Taoist Court and a disaster that could annihilate the sects you belong to!”
“Everyone, please cherish yourselves!”
True Man Situ spoke with deep sincerity.
Everybody clasped their hands and said, “Senior Situ, your words are very true.”
Some questioned though, “Senior Situ, logically, the Back Ruins Heaven Burial is of great importance, but why…”
“Why did those top noble clans and sects in Taoist State not send any high-level cultivators this time, only sending some Golden Core cultivators to make up the numbers?”
As soon as these words came out, people exchanged looks.
“The Heaven Void Ancestor does not emerge in the world; it’s fine if he doesn’t come…”
Even if he had come, he would be nothing but an oversized “Golden Core”, also facing the risk of falling—it would not be worth the loss.
“…But why didn’t even cultivators at the Feather Transformation Realm come?”
“This really doesn’t make sense…”
The gathered cultivators who had undergone Feather Transformation whispered among themselves and then silently turned their eyes towards Bai Qiancheng, who was seated higher up.
Among the many powers present, only the Bai Family was a true behemoth.
Although not located in Taoist State, but dominating their own territory, they were strong enough to compete with the ancient noble clans of Taoist State.
Among the True Men who had undergone Feather Transformation present, only Bai Qiancheng was from the biggest clan and had the deepest background.
Bai Qiancheng’s expression remained cool and indifferent, and she didn’t say a word.
The others, feeling helpless, wanted to ask but did not dare to.
True Man Situ then said, “Each noble clan has its own arrangements, and the elders of each family have their overall strategies. We should focus on our own tasks, and other matters are not for us to inquire into.”
Everyone frowned, but since True Man Situ had spoken, they did not pursue the matter further.
After the group of cultivators who had undergone Feather Transformation dispersed, Bai Qiancheng also got up to leave but was stopped by True Man Situ.
Although True Man Situ was a respected elder, his tone was extremely polite towards Bai Qiancheng.
Not just because of her family, but also because of her extraordinary talent; she broke the barrier to Feather Transformation at a few hundred years old, becoming a True Man who could fly through the heavens…
More importantly, it was because of the various causes and effects she was involved with.
Mr. Zhuang, Gui Tao’s people, and her two children with Heavenly Spirit Roots…
Some matters, others did not know.
But True Man Situ, skilled in the algorithms of the Great Dao and having controlled Mystery Valley for many years, naturally knew more about some inner details than others.
Bai Qiancheng’s expression was cold and slightly proud, but she was still very respectful towards True Man Situ and nodded, saying:
True Man Situ hesitated for a moment before finally speaking:
“Before True Man Bai came here, did the ancestor of the Bai Family give any instructions?”
Bai Qiancheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, “Senior Situ, what do you want to ask?”
True Man Situ didn’t want to inquire too deeply, but sighed and said:
“At my age, I fear death, so, I just ask about good or bad fortune.”
It was about the Heavenly secret and the chance of the Great Dao.
No matter what, he had to come this time.
But at this moment, he found that the opportunity was very peculiar; no matter how he calculated or deduced, the path ahead was a blur.
Having lived for so many years and becoming crafty with age, he wanted to leave a contingency plan to protect his foundation at this time.
The estate of Mystery Valley was large, and the younger generation’s learning of calculations was not refined; they still relied on him to support everything. He could not afford to give up his life here…
Bai Qiancheng was somewhat surprised; she didn’t expect True Man Situ, as a senior, to be so candid.
After thinking, she said, “The ancestors didn’t want me to come…”
“But because of some reasons… I had to come…”
“Before I left, the ancestor only gave me one instruction, telling me to…”
Bai Qiancheng paused, then slowly revealed four words: “Stand by and watch…”
“Stand by and watch?”
True Man Situ was momentarily stunned, shocked in his heart.
Why would it be… stand by and watch?
They didn’t care anymore, didn’t ask, didn’t seek, no longer pursuing that…
True Man Situ’s face showed varying expressions, overcome with emotion.
Having said as much as she wished, Bai Qiancheng clasped her hands and said, “Junior takes her leave.”
Until Bai Qiancheng had walked far away, True Man Situ remained motionless, standing in place, his brow deeply furrowed, murmuring to himself:
