My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1195: Dao Deviation Returns to the Stone Mother
A strange gleam flashed through Chen Tianhai’s eyes.
“Our Taiyan Sect has secluded itself from the world for several thousand years, with very little contact with the outside. Your master actually knows our hiding place.”
“He must have some understanding of us. Even so, he still took the initiative to send you to contact us…”
“This shows he is certain that we will inevitably be interested in him as this [Beyond Variable].”
Sun Erlang was stunned upon hearing this. “Is, is that so?”
But thinking of his master’s mysterious background and seemingly omniscient divine abilities, he instantly felt relieved.
“In this world, there is no shortage of transcendent variables. Some have even profoundly influenced and changed the fate of the Xuanhuang Realm.”
“Although our Derivation of Heavens Nine Volumes claim to be able to calculate all things in the world, if visitors from beyond the heavens or true immortals from the heavens descend, such events that have already transcended the heavens and earth themselves occur…”
“We are naturally powerless.”
Chen Tianhai said without any reservation.
“However, our Taiyan Sect does not reject or fear the occurrence of such beyond variables.” His tone was faint, with unspoken implications in his words.
“Visitors from beyond the heavens?” Sun Erlang mused thoughtfully.
But immediately he suppressed this slight ripple in his heart.
No matter his master’s origins, his current identity was the one and only destined Holy Emperor of Great Qi, upon whom the rise and fall of billions of living beings depended.
As his master’s eldest disciple, he would forever stand firmly in front of his master.
“So, Senior, does this count as agreeing to our alliance request?” After a brief silence, Sun Erlang asked.
“If there is a chance of victory, why would we refuse?” Chen Tianhai smiled slightly without answering directly.
“Then what does Senior mean?”
“When such a deviation appears in the simulation calculations, we naturally need to make corrections. Since the Holy Dynasty Great Qi wishes to ally with us, it naturally will not refuse an ally’s inspection, right?” Chen Tianhai said indifferently.
“This…”
The other party’s request was somewhat beyond Sun Erlang’s expectations.
When he came, his master had not instructed him on how to handle this.
“Erlang, when you go, you may decide all matters on your own. This Taiyan Sect is important…”
“but not important.”
Sun Erlang suddenly recalled the last words his master had said before he left.
“If you are timid and hesitant even when facing a mere small Taiyan Sect, how will you compete with the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance for the Xuanhuang Realm in the future?”
A surge of heroism rose in his heart, and Sun Erlang blurted out: “The Holy Dynasty Great Qi holds positions open and waiting. We welcome the Taiyan Sect at any time.”
A blue light inexplicably flashed in Chen Tianhai’s eyes.
He did not respond, seemingly lost in thought.
“Since Young master has said so, our Taiyan Sect will send an envoy to accompany you to Great Qi. To investigate thoroughly.”
After a long while, Chen Tianhai finally spoke.
For some reason, Sun Erlang suddenly let out a sigh of relief, as if he had just walked the edge of life and death.
“Then Senior, when do we set off?”
“No rush, distant guests are honored. Young master has come from afar, which is truly not easy. Our Taiyan Sect has not had visitors for several thousand years.”
“Moreover, you have even returned Yi Xing’s remains.”
Chen Tianhai pondered for a moment and asked: “I wonder if Young master is interested in our [simulation]?”
“Of course I’m curious.”
Chen Tianhai nodded. The surrounding ground and decorations vanished in an instant.
The two seemed to appear in the void, with a blue crystal ahead that emitted a soul-stirring glow.
“This is the Dao Deviation Stone Mother.”
Chen Tianhai spoke in a mysterious tone.
“Dao Deviation Stone Mother?” Sun Erlang repeated the four words.
Looking at the mysterious crystal not far away, Sun Erlang discovered with some horror that he could not discern the details on its surface.
It seemed infinitely subdivisible. Every mirror-like facet, upon closer inspection, had countless tiny surfaces extending from it.
Merely after peeking for a while, Sun Erlang felt dizzy and light-headed.
He immediately looked away.
“The Dao Deviation Stone Mother is the foundation upon which our Taiyan Sect was established. Although the Grand Mage passed down the Nine Volumes of Derivation of Heavens back then, the method explores the creation of heaven and man. It is truly not something ordinary people can study. Even for peerless talents, cultivating the Derivation of Heavens Nine Volumes to great completion would exhaust their heart’s blood and essence and leave them with little life remaining.”
Chen Tianhai flashed forward and appeared beside the enormous blue crystal. His figure seemed about to merge with the Dao Deviation Stone Mother.
“Even geniuses find it so difficult to cultivate, let alone ordinary people. The characteristics of the Derivation of Heaven Nine Volumes’ technique mean that our Taiyan Sect can only have a handful of disciples each generation. With talent dwindling, the sect is hard to expand. Perhaps one day, even the name among the Ten Great Immortal Sects will be difficult to preserve.”
“This was the outcome calculated for our Taiyan Sect.”
“If there were no Dao Deviation Stone Mother.”
Chen Tianhai’s tone suddenly changed.
“Even just a small fragment of the Stone Mother can instantly grant an ordinary mortal derivation calculation ability comparable to a Dao Integration powerhouse. What a magni creation this is!”
“Young Lord, the white papers that Yi Xing carried with him before his death, did you bring them?” Chen Tianhai looked at Sun Erlang and suddenly asked.
Only then did Sun Erlang suddenly remember. He hurriedly took out those white papers.
“These white papers have a name: Tribulation-Reversing Treasure Box. They were common props used by former Taiyan Sect disciples to practice their deductive derivation calculation abilities.”
“There are a total of forty-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine sheets. One only needs to restore them in the original initial order to recreate the treasure box’s appearance.”
“Does Young master want to try?” Chen Tianhai scattered the white papers into the air, letting them drift irregularly. Then he looked at Sun Erlang and asked with a smile.
“Restore them in order?”
Sun Erlang had studied those white papers before. They were all identical, with no special markings.
“Is it purely by luck, with no special secret method?” Sun Erlang asked tentatively.
Looking at Chen Tianhai’s expression, Sun Erlang mentally calculated for a moment. His face immediately turned somewhat pale.
He decisively refused.
“That is correct. For ordinary people, this is a task that cannot be completed even after exhausting an entire lifetime. But for Taiyan Sect disciples who possess the Dao Deviation Stone…”
“It takes only an instant!”
Chen Tianhai pointed gently. The white papers scattered across the sky began to dance wildly.
One by one, they arranged themselves in sequence.
Finally, all the papers returned to position. After a blinding flash of light, the treasure box opened.
A jade slip and a blue crystalline stone appeared.
The appearance of the Dao Deviation Stone inside the treasure box seemed to resonate with the Dao Deviation Stone Mother.
Under the illumination of the Stone Mother’s glow, the color of that Dao Deviation Stone appeared even deeper.
Chen Tianhai first stored away the jade slip, then stroked the blue gemstone.
His expression showed some lament. He then looked at Sun Erlang and said, “Young master, this Dao Deviation Stone is now gifted to you.”
Only when the Dao Deviation Stone landed in his hands did Sun Erlang snap back to his senses.
“Ah?”
