Chapter 903: Chapter 900: The Ancestor’s Attitude_1
When Yang Chen and the Eastern Branch members were on their way to the main family, Bai Tianheng also arrived at the place he wanted to e to.
This place is a quiet and uninhabited mountain range, with one mountain succeeding another.
For many years, no one has set foot in this place, and even if someone does step into this place without permission, they will never see the true face of this mountain range. The so-called permission is the various formations, and if one doesn’t know the details, entering the mountain range would only see one peak after another, forever unable to cross the range.
When Bai Tianheng arrived here, he respectfully said: “Junior Bai Tianheng wishes to meet Ancestor Bai Wei. Bai Hong has already reported my intentions earlier, I hope you can acmodate my request.”
As his words fell, the mountain range in front of him seemed to shatter like a puzzle, crackling and breaking apart.
The scene eventually turned into strands of True Qi, dissipating like smoke, and then the true face of Mount Lu was revealed. It was a majestic peak with a thousand-zhang waterfall cascading down from above, falling into a small river, trickling gently.
...
It was when this scene appeared that a middle-aged man appeared on the peak. The man held a wooden staff, floating in the air, and said: “Bai Tianheng, Bai Hong has indeed reported this before. But are you sure you want to remend this genius to the Ancestor? You’re a wise man, and I won’t say much, but I’ll remind you once. The Ancestor’s standards are very high, and not every genius can enter the Ancestor’s Dharma Eye. If you mishandle it and the remendation fails, you’ll be the one to suffer!”
“I understand, Junior has made this choice after careful deliberation, and I hope Envoy Sir can acmodate it!” Bai Tianheng still replied firmly.
He referred to himself as a junior because even the gatekeeper of Ancestor Bai Wei had reached the Heaven Martial Realm, which was not something a Half-step Heavenly Martial Realm martial artist like him could pare to. It was only natural for him to call himself a junior.
As for the envoy’s words, he indeed had thought it through.
By rights, remending geniuses would usually be to the Heavenly Martial Realm elders in the clan, allowing those Heavenly Martial Realm elders to make decisions and take them under their wing. This was already a very high attribution for those geniuses.
Directly remending a genius to an Emperor-Level powerhouse was very rare.
An Emperor-Level powerhouse transcended worldly concerns and was no longer bound by realms.
However, he had already made his choice and had no regrets.
“Alright, as you’ve made your choice, I won’t stop you. But if something goes wrong, I hope you’re mentally prepared.” The envoy instructed and then said no more, letting Bai Tianheng enter the mountain.
Bai Tianheng couldn’t help feeling nervous, but having made his choice, he had no reason to shrink back. He stepped forward and reached the top of the mountain!
Following the envoy leading the way, Bai Tianheng moved forward and arrived at a cave together with the envoy. This cave was constructed like a mansion, majestic and towering, with bizarre carvings all around. In addition, the cave exuded an astonishing aura.
This aura made people ing here unable to resist the feeling of awe from the depths of their hearts.
The envoy said: “Bai Tianheng, you may go in!”
Bai Tianheng didn’t dare to waste any time, stepping forward and entering the cave.
The deeper he entered the cave, the stronger the urge to worship and prostrate oneself became. The powerful aura made him shiver, and he even had a vague impulse to retreat.
Bai Tianheng endured it, moving forward, and walked deep into the cave for about half an incense stick before finally reaching the end.
When he arrived at the top of the cave, Bai Tianheng also saw the scene of the entire Cave Mansion, surrounded by flowers, trees, and fountains, with life here resembling a paradise.
In the center of this paradise, there was a huge cushion, and sitting right in the middle of the cushion was a white-haired old man. The old man was dressed in ordinary clothes, his eyes closed, showing no intention of opening them, as if he hadn’t noticed Bai Tianheng’s arrival at all.
Bai Tianheng didn’t think so. Upon seeing this person, his body trembled slightly, and then he hurriedly said: “Junior Bai Tianheng pays homage to the Ancestor. Today I e to see the Ancestor for an important matter to discuss!”
The old man sitting on the cushion was one of the three Great Emperor powerhouses in the Bai Family Main Branch, Ancestor Bai Wei!
Bai Wei only raised his unusually long eyebrows after Bai Tianheng spoke, then gradually opened his eyes. These were a pair of eyes that seemed to see through the world and were filled with wisdom.
Bai Wei said: “Bai Tianheng, I remember you. When I saw you back then, you were still young and your strength was only at the True Martial Realm. I didn’t expect that after so many years, you’ve actually reached the Half-Step Heavenly Martial Realm. Hehe, the younger generation is indeed formidable. Alright, enough idle words. Bai Tianheng, I’ve closed myself for decades and haven’t seen anyone in a long time. You should know that if there is no major issue, there is no need to disturb me. Is the matter you want to talk about ‘significant’? If it’s not, just leave as soon as possible.”
Bai Wei didn’t say it outright, but Bai Tianheng, with his wisdom, would naturally understand what his ancestor meant. His ancestor was clearly telling him to think carefully about the importance and weight of the matter he was about to mention, then decide whether it was too late. If he mentioned it later and the matter wasn’t weighty enough, it would be too late to regret it then.
Who could tease such a powerful being at the ancestor level?
Bai Tianheng clenched his teeth: “Ancestor, I’ve thought it through!”
“Alright, it seems that the matter you’re talking about must have some meaning. Let this seat hear what big events have happened to our clan during these years of my seclusion.” Bai Wei showed some interest.
Bai Tianheng recounted the details of the assessment one by one.
Bai Wei squinted his eyes and then said with a smile: “Well, it’s indeed time for the Clan Gathering. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost forgot.”
“It was during the assessment of those branches entering the main family for the Clan Gathering that I encountered a genius. Now, I’m here to remend this genius to you, the Ancestor.” Bai Tianheng said.
When these words fell, some sweat dripped down his forehead and the nervousness spread. Because he knew that the moment for the Ancestor to express his opinion had arrived.
As Bai Wei listened to Bai Tianheng’s words, he raised the corners of his mouth: “A genius, interesting. Remending a genius to me? Bai Tianheng, you should know that I haven’t accepted any so-called geniuses for many years. Although I’m not interested, I still want to know what acplishments this genius you remend has.”
When Bai Tianheng heard that Bai Wei was not interested in ‘genius’ matters, he felt a chill in his heart.
However, the following words undoubtedly rekindled hope for him!
