Chapter 376: Situ Chengdao
Because Ye Bai didn't want to reject the good intentions of the Profound Heaven Sect Master, after sneaking underground, what he saw was, shockingly, a Time Secret Realm!
A surprise—a genuine, unexpected delight!
If Ye Bai wanted to become stronger, the thing he lacked most was time!
He had also long imagined that if his strength were greater, if he were also a Second Step cultivator, his encounters after arriving in the Xuanyuan World wouldn't have been so bumpy!
"I really didn't expect that back when I was on Blue Star, I couldn't find a third Time Secret Realm no matter what, yet after arriving in the Xuanyuan World and experiencing life-and-death trials, I actually found one..."
Ye Bai's first reaction was to immediately collect the Time Sand here, activate the Time Altar, and become stronger, stronger, and even stronger!
"But this is the Profound Heaven Sect, and Master Hehuan and Master Kuteng are still outside..."
In the blink of an eye, he calmed down again.
A Time Secret Realm provides a multiple-fold time flow rate. Although Ye Bai could use this to become strong rapidly, time in the outside world also flows; it just isn't as fast.
Yet, Ye Bai couldn't stay within the Profound Heaven Sect for too long.
If too much time passed, regardless of whether Master Kuteng or Master Hehuan won the battle outside, what awaited him would be an end countless times more miserable than death, and it would be destined that he would lose the ability to save Blue Star eleven months later!
And he would also implicate Situ Chengdao!
"Tempted, yet I dare not take action..."
Ye Bai could only smile bitterly.
Merely collecting the Time Sand here wouldn't help Ye Bai as much as he had imagined.
Heaven knows when he would find another Time Altar next time?
"Brother Bai, what is a Time Secret Realm?
Is it of great use to you?"
Situ Chengdao asked at this moment.
He had seen the clearly visible joy on Ye Bai's face just now, as well as the subsequent change in his expression.
"It's like this..."
After Ye Bai explained the function of the Time Secret Realm, he also admitted that this secret realm was indeed of great use to him.
But at the same time, he also indicated that he would not put both of them in danger for the sake of one opportunity.
"Brother Bai, since this secret realm is of great use to you, then we cannot miss it!"
After hearing this, Situ Chengdao's eyes flashed with a divine light.
"This... it's too dangerous!"
Ye Bai shook his head.
"Where is it dangerous?"
"Look, Master Kuteng and Master Hehuan are both Third Step Great Demonic Cultivators. It's impossible for them to decide a winner at their level without ten days or half a month.
Then, we need to break the array to escape the Profound Heaven Sect, which won't take much time.
So, we just need to leave while they are fighting, so the time we have left is very abundant!"
Situ Chengdao said.
"Moreover, there is an advantage to leaving later. By then, Master Kuteng and Master Hehuan will have consumed a lot of power. Even if they come to hunt us down later, the probability of us successfully escaping is very high.
If you can luckily step into the Second Step during this period, our chances of leaving the Southern Region alive will be much greater!"
The more he spoke, the brighter his eyes became.
In particular, Situ Chengdao also discovered at this moment.
Within this Time Secret Realm, there actually existed the aura of an array.
After carefully investigating, he discovered that it was an array aura of the same origin as those shrouding the Profound Heaven Sect!
"Brother Bai, if I'm not mistaken, this is the true reason why Master Kuteng can use an array to make everyone in the Profound Heaven Sect experience a hundred years in a single day!
Master Kuteng is truly using the power of time!"
"Which is to say, if we can destroy this secret realm, it will be countless times harder for Master Kuteng to make the Profound Heaven Sect resume operation to harvest massive amounts of souls for him in the future. It's equivalent to us indirectly saving many people.
And since we have to destroy this place anyway, why don't you let it serve its final purpose and become as strong as you can?"
Situ Chengdao said to Ye Bai.
"This... alright!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Bai was truly moved by Situ Chengdao!
"Brother Situ, then let's collect the Time Sand together at the fastest speed, and then we will both use the time acceleration to become stronger."
He added, intending for Situ Chengdao to enjoy the acceleration function of the Time Altar just like him.
He didn't think that one Time Secret Realm would allow him to step directly into the Second Step.
"No, I will be the one to collect the Time Sand alone."
However, Situ Chengdao shook his head.
"Brother Situ?!" Ye Bai was stunned.
"If I'm not mistaken, there is some Time Sand in the Time Altar; you can start the time acceleration directly.
As for me, forget it, because the most suitable way for me to become stronger is actually through pressure and combat. A faster time flow doesn't help me very much!"
Situ Chengdao said.
How could Ye Bai believe this statement from Situ Chengdao?
He could be one hundred percent certain that Situ Chengdao just felt that someone needed to keep an eye on Master Kuteng and Master Hehuan outside while the Time Altar was activated...
"Brother Situ, to tell you the truth..."
Once this thought reached its peak, it was impossible for Ye Bai not to feel warmth in his heart.
He told Situ Chengdao about the existence of the Four Sages Dolls and the truth about the External Incarnation he had mentioned before.
Situ Chengdao was truly a stand-up guy; Ye Bai felt there was no need to hide it from him!
Of course, this matter had been agreed upon by the Four Sages, or rather, it was the Four Sages' decision.
"Fellow Daoist, you should use the time acceleration together with Ye Bai!"
Just like that, the doll in Ye Bai's arms flew out automatically the next moment, transforming into the appearance of the Wensheng.
"We will keep an eye on the battle outside, and the matter of collecting Time Sand can also be left to us!"
The Four Sages had already listed Situ Chengdao as someone who could be completely trusted!
However.
"A puppet refined by extracting a portion of soul origin? And it can actually have the strength of the Second Step?"
"To think there is such a miraculous method?"
After hearing what Ye Bai said and looking at the Wen Sage who had appeared, Situ Chengdao was merely surprised by the heaven-defying abilities of the Four Sages.
"Brother Bai, and this Fellow Daoist, I really don't need the opportunity for time acceleration. Believe me, it doesn't help me much..."
Following that, Situ Chengdao still refused!
"How about this, this Fellow Daoist will keep an eye on the battle outside, and I will be responsible for collecting the Time Sand, and then responsible for bringing Brother Bai out after receiving the notification!"
Situ Chengdao added.
His thinking was also very clear.
If it were just him alone, he would have no choice.
He would need to be responsible for collecting Time Sand while keeping an eye on the battle outside to prevent Master Kuteng and Master Hehuan's battle from ending too early.
Now that there was the Wen Sage, it was a double insurance!
The Wen Sage would be responsible for watching the battle outside, and he would only be responsible for helping to collect Time Sand and bringing Ye Bai out of the time acceleration at the first sign of trouble!
"Brother Situ..."
Both Ye Bai and the Wen Sage could realize Situ Chengdao's true purpose.
They wanted to say something, but because they saw that it was hard to sway Situ Chengdao once he had made a decision.
In the end, they only felt a surge of emotion in their hearts!
This person is truly a keeper!
Ye Bai finally stood on the Time Altar alone! ===== CHAPTER 377 =====
