Capítulo 2227: Chapter 145: A Temporary Farewell

“Taoist Friend Taiyi need not worry too much; I shall go and discuss with the Great Ancestor and see if there is a turnaround in this matter.”

Yin Ruins Arena.

Wang Ba and Yin Penglai returned to the arena, both suspended in mid-air. Yin Penglai barely contained the disappointment in his heart and began to comfort.

However, his face was truly somber. Wang Ba understood the meaning but was not much perturbed, simply nodding slightly:

“Thank you, Taoist Brother.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Yin Penglai managed to put on a smile and then said:

“I shall go to consult the Great Ancestor, Taoist Friend please feel at ease.”

Wang Ba nodded slightly, didn’t say much, and then returned alone to his own immortal cave.

Watching Wang Ba’s disappearing figure, Yin Penglai finally showed a worried look.

He swiftly flew into the ancestral hall of the Yin Family.

Shortly after, several figures received the message and flew into it from various places of the arena.

Inside the ancestral hall.

“He failed to gain recognition from Zhang’s Ruins?”

“Penglai, what happened?”

After listening to Yin Penglai’s account, Yin Tianzhi’s eyes showed contemplation, while the Second Ancestor could not help but speak in astonishment.

There was a hint of reproach in the tone.

The others also looked at Yin Penglai with confusion.

Yin Penglai, being of the lowest rank and status among them, looked grim as he explained:

“I, I am not quite sure either. After reaching the abyss, according to True Man Taiyi, he tried several times. Initially, his consciousness could enter the core of Zhang’s Ruins, but he was repelled out. Afterward, he simply couldn’t get in. I sensed it too, indeed he wasn’t recognized by the core… I’ve never seen such a situation. Have any of the Ancestors seen such a thing?”

After hearing Yin Penglai’s description, the rest also shook their heads in confusion.

The Second Ancestor of the Yin Family asked perplexedly:

“Those not recognized by the core of Zhang’s Ruins are indeed rare. I’ve encountered it a few times too but could just not integrate into the core. How could he not even get in? Could he have made a mistake in the Dharma?”

Yin Tianzhi, who hadn’t spoken, slowly shook his head:

“Impossible. The secret technique is extremely simple; Golden Core and Nascent Soul can both be performed. A dignified Unification cultivator wouldn’t make such a mistake. Moreover, he indeed entered the core, indicating the secret technique wasn’t the issue; it’s only possible that it’s due to this True Man Taiyi himself.”

“Perhaps, he and Zhang’s Ruins are without destiny.”

Upon hearing Yin Tianzhi’s words, Yin Penglai and others showed disappointment.

The Second Ancestor couldn’t help but frown and say:

“Not being recognized by Zhang’s Ruins means he cannot break through the realm there, unable to ascend to the Tribulation-Transcending Realm, making him less valuable…”

“How shortsighted!”

Yin Tianzhi frowned and reproached.

The Second Ancestor, reprimanded, dared not retort, but asked puzzled:

“Great Ancestor, it’s not that I am shallow, but even if he is skilled in magical combat, yet not at the Tribulation-Transcending Realm, not mentioning elsewhere, longevity alone falls short compared to a Tribulation cultivator, how much value can such a person have…”

Yin Tianzhi snorted coldly:

“What he lacks is just an opportunity to break through. Zhang’s Ruins can’t accommodate him; can’t the outside domain do?”

“As long as he is given a chance to cross the tribulation and break through, upon returning to Zhang’s Ruins, wouldn’t he be an asset to our Yin Family?”

“Moreover, this person is true of character. Granting him this breakthrough chance, he shouldn’t forget it. This is exactly the opportunity for us to completely win him over.”

“Previously, it was said to entrust eight parts. If using this opportunity, perhaps we could make him trust us with nine parts!”

“You only weigh the gains and losses before you, isn’t that shortsighted?”

Eight parts, nine parts, actually referred to his degree of trust in the Yin Family.

Eight parts were already rare loyalty, if there’s a nine-part trust, then the major affairs of the Yin Family can be entrusted confidently to him.

Such a person, if completely secured and smoothly grown, would undoubtedly be a rare opportunity for the Yin Family.

The Yin Family grew from a declining force to a now powerful faction, relying on exceptional vision and persistently grasping such opportunities disregarded by others, to continue expanding.

“This…”

Upon hearing this, the Second Ancestor understood immediately but noticed another issue, hesitated:

“But a domain capable of accommodating a Unification cultivator to cross tribulation, isn’t almost all Great Realms… But which Great Realm would allow True Man Taiyi to share the Power of Creation within their domain?”

The Thunder Tribulation required to break through the Tribulation-Transcending Realm as a Unification cultivator demands abundant Power of Creation, and resource-poor Great Realms might restrict the number of Unification cultivators breaking through to preserve the continuity of their domain.

The Great Ancestor spoke lightly, with sound reasoning, but which domain would be willing to invest such resources in an external rogue cultivator?

And what capital does the Yin Family have to make others willing to do so?

In a Great Realm, talented people abound, who may not care about the petty offerings of the Yin Family.

Yet Yin Tianzhi seemed to have a target, said calmly:

“If it was before, it might not be certain, but soon, there will be an opportunity.”

“Opportunity?”

The Second Ancestor and others looked at each other in confusion.

Yin Tianzhi revealed the mystery:

“The Supreme True Buddha has been preparing for many years, the target is most likely Cloud Sky Realm… Though Zhang’s Ruins lacks top-notch Great Cultivators, the number of Tribulation cultivators is numerous. True Man Gai from Cloud Sky Sect in Cloud Sky Realm will surely set his sights on us; it won’t be long before someone comes to persuade us to unite against the Supreme True Buddha. By then, there’ll naturally be opportunities.”
