Chapter 2063: Chapter 94: Alliance (Part 2)

However, the current Taoist Man, like Chong Hua, Yu Yu, Zhao Feng, and others, has golden double pupils.

Moreover, his appearance seems to be unlike before, uncontrollably shifting, but instead, it consistently maintains the appearance of ‘Chen Xuan.’

These subtle differences made him ponder deeply.

And Ying Yuan Daoist and Vajra Realm Master, upon hearing Taoist Man’s words, despite having already been extremely cautious, still found themselves stunned. Ying Yuan Daoist, in one swift motion, landed in front of Taoist Man, his expression anxious:

“Are you telling the truth?!”

Compared to Ying Yuan Daoist, the Vajra Realm Master was much steadier. Although surprise flashed in his eyes, he did not speak out.

Taoist Man did not answer him, but languidly said:

“The Sea of Chaos Realm has existed for so many years, yet it’s rarely heard of any tribulation crossing practitioner appearing—how could this be normal?”

“The reason you don’t understand the cause is because you’re like frogs at the bottom of a well, having never seen the sky outside, but I have.”

“I don’t know who possesses such capability, or maybe it’s due to a heavenly disaster, but what I do know is that the heavens here are locked!”

“Floating clouds obscure the eyes, making it hard to see the Great Dao.”

“The Dao you’ve witnessed is false, so how can you achieve the true one?”

“Therefore, under normal circumstances, no matter what, you could not possibly step into the Tribulation-Transcending Realm.”

“Is the sky really locked?!”

Upon hearing Taoist Man’s words, both Ying Yuan Daoist, Vajra Realm Master, and Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel a tremor in their hearts.

However, after pondering for a while, though Wang Ba was relatively stable, Ying Yuan Daoist and Vajra Realm Master subconsciously recalled past generations who were stuck before the tribulation-transcending realm, those who failed at the last hurdle, as well as the various speculations from ancestors, and had several confirmations already.

The heavens of the Sea of Chaos Realm might indeed have been locked by someone.

But who did this?

Who could possess such capability?

Or is it merely a coincidence or a heavenly disaster?

At this moment, even though the two maintained an iron-clad Dao-heart, they couldn’t help but feel a mess of emotions, countless threads entangled, wanting to untangle but failing.

Only the Vajra Realm Master slightly steadied his spirit and couldn’t help but ask:

“Could this opportunity allow us to break through to the tribulation-transcending realm?”

Taoist Man’s expression turned slightly solemn as he pointed his finger toward the house outside:

“In the house in the middle lies the thing you desire, and indeed, what I also want. However, this house is dangerous, and we need to collaborate fully to seize the opportunity within… This is also why I’m willing to share this opportunity with you.”

His gaze shifted slightly, landing on Wang Ba, with a smile on his face:

“Taoist Friend Ye, what do you think?”

Wang Ba was taken aback, suddenly recalling that he once interacted with him under the name ‘Ye Cangsheng.’

“Is this Taiyi Mountain Master surnamed Ye?”

Ying Yuan Daoist and Vajra Realm Master also sensed the unusual relationship between the two.

They grew even more suspicious, secretly contemplating Wang Ba’s identity.

Meanwhile, Wang Ba, after a brief silence, finally looked at Taoist Man, his gaze slightly deepened as he said:

“Chen Xuan… is he real or fake?”

Taoist Man was stunned, as he hadn’t expected Wang Ba to ask this question.

However, he then lightly shook his head and said:

“True or false, it’s just a clone. Taoist Friend Ye is mistaken… You need not worry about me turning against you, as there is relatively little conflict between us this time. If you’re still worried, I can make an alliance contract with you, promising not to harm you.”

Wang Ba lightly shook his head:

“That won’t be necessary… I’m just somewhat curious, what is your current cultivation realm?”

Making an alliance contract wouldn’t bind Taoist Man much; Wang Ba knew this well. He had seen Taoist Man break promises in the Immortal Forbidden Land as easily as eating or drinking, taking no burden, always finding loopholes to escape.

Therefore, he wouldn’t fully distrust Taoist Man’s words, but neither would he fully believe them.

It might all be true, but with some critical information missing, the conclusions drawn could be entirely opposite.

So having experienced the other party’s methods, Wang Ba was only concerned about this one point.

Taoist Man, what is his current realm?

Upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, Ying Yuan Daoist and Vajra Realm Master also couldn’t help but look at Taoist Man.

Taoist Man heard these words with a calm expression, seemingly looking at him meaningfully, and said:

“If Taoist Friend is interested, why not give it a try?”

Wang Ba remained silent for a while, ultimately choosing not to speak.

His methods might deceive Ying Yuan Daoist and Vajra Realm Master, but they likely wouldn’t deceive Taoist Man, who possessed countless memories of ancient cultivators.

Facing Taoist Man, he had no confidence to retreat unscathed, especially with the Treasure Basin of Immortal Essence also damaged.

Meanwhile, Ying Yuan Daoist seemed eager to try.

Cultivators of the Double Body Realm do not fear death. As long as another body remains inside the realm, they can recover quickly, so even against a strong opponent, they can afford a try.

Seemingly sensing this intent, Taoist Man suddenly said:

“In the past, the ‘Nine Gu Realm’ had a secret technique that could place a curse from afar, and anyone afflicted would surely die, regardless of distance… Ying Yuan Daoist, have you heard of it?”

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuan Daoist’s expression changed slightly!

Instinctively, he asked:

“How do you know about the ‘Nine Gu Realm’?”

The Nine Gu Realm was a domain long since annihilated, once the nemesis of the Double Body Realm, but during the war of the immortals, it suffered great losses and eventually vanished from the river of time.

The existence of this domain is scarcely known even within the Double Body Realm, yet Taoist Man mentioned it effortlessly, causing a chill in his heart.
