NOVEL NEXT Chapter 94: Alliance
"Hehe, why are you so tense, my Taoist friend?"
Inside the narrow room.
As if noticing the heaviness in Wang Ba's heart, Chen Xuan's clone, or to be precise, the Double-Pupil Taoist 'Man' smiled faintly, his demeanor relaxed, gentle as breeze and clouds, yet he uttered words that shocked Wang Ba:
"Though you have ruined my grand plan, to say I don't hate you would be a lie. However, right now is a momentous heavenly opportunity before us. Why not we join forces once more today?"
Wang Ba's face slightly sank, and a sense of caution arose in his heart, yet he didn't know how this Taoist Man could appear here, how he got sealed by the talisman, or what his intentions might be.
Thoughts raced through his mind, but he did not rush to respond.
However, the nearby Ying Yuan Daoist couldn't hold back and sternly questioned:
"Who exactly are you? Why are you appearing here?"
Though the Immortal Mansion has mostly existed for a long time, according to Lu Shifu's words, previously, the door was open yet restricted, guarded by an extraordinarily powerful Cultivator suspected to be in the Tribulation-Transcending Realm, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to break in.
The crucial point was those peculiar golden double pupils, reminding him of the long-standing depictions of immortals within the realm.
Countless ten thousand years ago, one of the two immortals who urged the formation of the Sea of Chaos Realm was said to be an immortal with golden double pupils.
Although their appearance and abilities can no longer be verified as time passes, records about the golden double pupils have never been lost.
This is also because at the border between the Sea of Chaos Realm and the Immortal Forbidden Land, there has been consistent talk of Double-Pupil Cultivators frequently appearing. Even in earlier years, quite a few forces and cultivators mysteriously vanished.
As the true leader of the Sea of Chaos Realm, the Three Realms naturally took the matter seriously, but none of the cultivators who went to investigate the Immortal Forbidden Land returned, including those of Realm Master level, which caused quite a stir at the time.
From then on, the Three Realms cultivators feared the Immortal Forbidden Land as if it were a tiger's lair and dared not venture there again.
Nevertheless, successive generations of cultivators in the Three Realms have not forgotten the records on Double-Pupil Cultivators.
Seeing the Taoist Man now, the memory immediately surfaced in his mind.
The Vajra Realm Master was also rarely solemn, with thick gray-white eyebrows under which eyes flickered with vigilance and a hint of barely perceptible doubt.
Facing Ying Yuan Daoist's inquiry, the Taoist Man seemed to finally notice him, slightly turning his head, and looked Ying Yuan Daoist up and down, an unusual light seemingly flashing within the golden double pupils.
Ying Yuan Daoist felt as though under this person's gaze, he was stripped bare, with no secret to speak of.
His heart quivered slightly!
Yet the Taoist Man chuckled softly and said politely:
"A Yin being... turns out to be Ying Yuan Daoist of the Double Body Realm, hehe, I am not an immortal, just a single name 'Man'. The Realm Master may call me Taoist Man or Taoist Friend Man, as you please. By the way, there is a heavenly opportunity, is the Realm Master interested in learning about it?"
"A heavenly opportunity?"
Ying Yuan Daoist's expression changed slightly; this was the second time the other party had mentioned it.
Though still filled with caution, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked:
"What kind of opportunity?"
Yet the Taoist Man didn't answer immediately, his gaze shifted slightly, sweeping past Wu Monkey King, pausing briefly, then moving directly to the Vajra Realm Master, smiling:
"This person is full of Blood Energy; if I'm not mistaken, should be the Vajra Realm Master of the Holy Desecration Realm. Are you interested in learning about the heavenly opportunity I mentioned?"
As soon as he appeared, the Taoist Man actively reached out to recruit, quickly becoming the focus of all attention within the room.
He seemed to be incredibly familiar with everyone here.
The Vajra Realm Master frowned slightly but asked a different question from Ying Yuan Daoist:
"May I ask where Taoist Friend Man comes from? Since you're not an immortal, could you be from outside the Sea of Chaos Realm?"
The appearance of the other did not differ much from their Three Realms cultivators and didn't seem like those Outer Realm Cultivators twisted by Dao Intention, whose appearances are often exceedingly strange, which already proved a point.
The Taoist Man shook his head lightly with a chuckle:
"Why bother about these matters, Vajra Realm Master? I'm merely a passerby here, and after today, I imagine I won't appear here again... Should the Realm Master not be more interested in the heavenly opportunity I spoke of?"
The Vajra Realm Master snorted lightly, his voice aged yet adding a touch of robustness:
"I'm afraid it's visible but unreachable!"
Ying Yuan Daoist also looked slightly grim, nodding unconsciously.
A person of unknown origin inviting you to share a tremendous opportunity, how could this not be full of contradictions?
He dared not believe, nor possibly could he.
Yet the Taoist Man leisurely said:
"This opportunity might let you break through the tribulation barrier."
"What?!"
At these words, be it Ying Yuan Daoist or the Vajra Realm Master, their faces changed in a Shocking Change, unable to maintain their outward composure.
Beside them, Wang Ba's eyes also slightly focused.
The Taoist Man's method of enticing others was identical to before.
Simple yet straight to the heart.
However, there was a slight puzzle in his mind at this moment.
The appearance and details of the person he encountered in the Immortal Forbidden Land seemed somewhat different.
Though the Taoist Man was a Double Pupil, back then, his pupils were silver, not much different from those Double-Pupil People devoid of spirit and intelligence.
