Chapter 969: Crossing the Tianwai Passage

Chen Chuyang was in secluded cultivation, Longshe Shan was utterly quiet.

The Monster Race side.

White Deer King and the others again stared at the passage ahead; they decided to venture in once more, this time preparing many means, laying down numerous formations, layer upon layer, which covered the entire passage—apart from those few of them, no one could enter.

White Deer King spoke first: "Fellow Daoists, this time venturing into the passage, I want to go see for myself."

Yin Gui Zhenren frowned and said: "Your Highness White Deer King, is this too risky? No one knows what lies opposite; those we sent before showed no movement, nor any intention to return; after so long, they are probably dead."

Beyond the passage lies danger, unknown to anyone; if you rashly enter and something happens, I fear...

Without White Deer King holding the fort, they were uneasy, ah, and dared not approach the passage again.

Jing Yuheng said worriedly: "Your Highness White Deer King, you cannot go yourself."

Elder Xinran said: "Your Highness White Deer King, going yourself is ultimately too risky."

White Deer King looked at them; they were all worried about their own safety, but he could not bear it.

Not exploring it once is truly being unwilling to give up.

The passage lies before us; if it truly leads to Tianwai, we would not need to take that most dangerous road, thus avoiding many people; even if there is some danger, it would not be more dangerous than those in Tianwai.

Fellow Daoists, I know you worry for me; I have decided to blaze a future for you all.

Fellow Daoists, you should support me, not obstruct me.

Elder Xinran took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness White Deer King, that's correct, but we should still consider it carefully."

This matter must not be rushed; you have waited so many years, do you still care about a year or two?

We ought to be more cautious; if it really won't work, I can let some sect elders whose lifespans are about to end go explore; if they succeed, they too can have a hope.

Yin Gui Zhenren said coldly: "Indeed, ordinary disciples cannot pass through; in our sect there are still many old-timers about to pass away, they would gladly venture forth, after all, this is also their hope."

In every major sect there are such people; those people have reached the end of their lifespans, at most only three to five years left; such old-timers are unwilling to just die like that, they will seek a way to break through.

And this passage is their opportunity.

Humans are not like the Monster Race; they have long lifespans, cannot break through, and can only await passing away.

The old-timers who go mad at the end are quite dangerous; it would be better to send them to Tianwai to let them cause a ruckus.

Who knows, they might be able to break through.

Give them a hope, and those old-timers will still… know what to do.

No one cherishes life more than they do; once they find an opportunity, they will think of every way to stay alive.

Fellow Daoists, I appreciate your good intentions, but doing so would probably not be good.

Yin Gui Zhenren stood up and said coldly: "What's not good about it? I giving them an opportunity is their honor."

The path of cultivation is like this; if they refuse to strive, let them wait for death.

Your Highness White Deer King, why bother about them?

Among your Monster Race, there are also some old-timers; let them go.

White Deer King sighed; this is a good idea, but perhaps it is too cold-hearted and cruel.

Elder Xinran said: "Your Highness White Deer King, you can go ask them; those willing can give it a try."

We will also go back to discuss, sending some people in; this time they will be the old-timers from each sect, experienced, perhaps they can find the true passage, and then we can follow it through—how does that sound?

This is a good plan; at this moment, it is the best plan.

Better than letting them go in; if they perish, the blow to their sect would be too great.

At least, for now it's not possible.

We haven't reached that point yet.

White Deer King hesitated, looking at the passage; finally, he nodded.

Alright, this is all we can do; then, in one month, we will meet again.

Good.

No problem.

Fellow Daoists, disperse.

One month later.

Inside the formation, many more people had gathered; the deathly aura on many old-timers was thick, they had reached their final step.

White Deer King had been waiting for a long time; there were not a few people by his side.

These are all the Monster Race's undying old-timers, also Monster Race beings whose lifespans are about to end.

Fellow Daoists, this is that passage.

The passage appeared; White Deer King faced the Monster Race undying old-timers beside him, and also the human undying old-timers from that side.

Before coming, everything had been made clear.

This is an opportunity.

Extra words need not be said.

Fellow Daoists, open the passage.

White Deer King and the others stood in their respective positions, activated the formation, then opened the passage.

The gate of the passage opened; White Deer King nodded to the Monster Race people over there, and they went in first.

Next, the Spirit Sword Sect and Yin Gui Sect people entered one after another; many from the Great Qi Dynasty side also entered.

Everyone stared at the passage; those undying old-timers all went in, and at this point there was no turning back.

Hope lay before them—either death or rebirth.

For the sake of this world, they too should make a sacrifice.

Beyond the passage, there was no response.

White Deer King and the others waited.

Time passed, day by day.

In the blink of an eye, another half month had passed.

Over at the passage, there was still no movement.

White Deer King and the others couldn't help but their expressions darkened; if they had failed, wouldn't that be?

Did they all fail?

Unwilling, they continued to wait.

On Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang opened his eyes, looked toward the distance, and his gaze fell upon that passage.

In his vision, White Deer King and the others appeared, as did the situation inside the passage; those old immortals, even after death they didn't kill people, and the remaining ones had reached the final step.

"They still made it this far; that barrier seems to have shown a slight change."

"Can these people get in there?"

This time, Chen Chuyang looked at the barrier again, feeling it wasn't so solid, nor... the helplessness he felt the first time he saw it.

In his mind, he began to constantly simulate, and gradually solutions emerged.

After countless simulations, he found a passage.

A passage that could penetrate the barrier, leading into that world.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

"This time we finally found a passage; this passage is not easy to find."

The unstable passage—Chen Chuyang must find a way to stabilize it, also restrict it so it only leads there, not allowing the other side to come this way; this can guarantee the safety of this world.

At the same time, it can also guarantee their safety.

"After the Heishanyang went over, it brought back a lot of good news; this Heishanyang is truly not simple."

"After examining it, we can find a way to break the barrier."

Chen Chuyang, based on the news brought back by the Heishanyang and the method, thus simulated a stable passage leading to Tianwai.

This passage is indeed a true passage; Chen Chuyang just hasn't had time to set it up yet.
