Chapter 635: Chapter 635 Meeting
Bai Ans undercover business was developing very smoothly. Before this, he had never thought that the interior of a top force would be so easily infiltrated. It was as if it was completely unguarded.
From the looks of it, after tens of thousands of years, the once-mighty Eternal Dynasty had gradually decayed and weakened.
The existence of top powerhouses could ensure the Eternal Dynastys existence and continuity, but it could not guarantee that the Eternal Dynastys roots would not decay.
This also caused Bai An to easily sneak into the Eternal Dynasty. According to the current trend, he had become the symbol of the new generation of disciples in the Eternal Dynasty.
If he continued to play like this, perhaps one day, he could even represent the Eternal Dynasty and become the new generations prodigy. Although the position of the future emperor of the Eternal Dynasty is out of question, the position of an elder seemed possible to Bai An.
Thinking of this result, Bai An was dumbfounded. He looked at his hand and recalled the recent events, wanting to know if he was dreaming. But reality told him that everything was real.
After a long time, he accepted reality and relaxed again. To a certain extent, this was also good. The decay of the Eternal Dynasty made it easier for Bai An to sneak in and achieve his goal.
This was naturally a good thing for him. He thought so and continued to move forward. Ten years quickly pa.s.sed in silence.
During these ten years, Bai An represented the Eternal Dynasty, and his reputation became more and more famous.
In various regions, his name was becoming more and more familiar, and he was like a fish in water within the Eternal Dynasty. He was welcomed by many disciples.
Not to mention those ordinary disciples like Bai An who were also born in the outside world, even the princes and successors of the Eternal Dynasty looked up to him. They had high hopes for him, and they felt that he would definitely be extraordinary in the future and could make a lot of contributions to the Eternal Dynasty.
This was obviously beyond the expectations of many people. During the ten years that Bai An was in, not to mention Bai An himself, even Chen Heng, who had witnessed the whole process of Bai An infiltrating the eternal dynasty, felt surprised and somewhat incredulous.
But thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be the best choice. Bai An was the same as Xiao Han in the past. They were both Chosen Ones, and they had majestic Destinies. It would be easy for them to achieve success no matter what they did.
But this Destiny was not eternal. It would be consumed continuously. At this point, Bai An was much stronger than Xiao Han.
Bai An and Xiao Han seemed to be the same on the surface. They seemed to have experienced many stories, and their journey was filled with bloodshed. There were all kinds of dangers and opportunities that accompanied them.
However, Bai An was much more cautious than Xiao Han in the past when it came to specific matters, and the risk of doing things was also much smaller.
To a certain extent, the risk was relatively small. It also meant that the degree of Destinys Blessing was weakened, and the amount of Destiny consumed to accomplish something would be much less.
The difference might not be obvious in a short period of time, but the difference would be very obvious as time pa.s.sed.
It was precisely because of this that after Xiao Hans Destiny burst forth, he used up all of his Destiny within a short period of more than ten years. However, Bai An could still maintain his condition, and his Destiny was still intact. He didnt use up much.
This was the biggest difference between the two. And this time, sneaking into the Eternal Dynasty was also ordinary.
When he learned that Bai An needed to fight against the Eternal Dynasty, Chen Heng was looking forward to what would happen next. The Eternal Dynasty was one of the strongest forces in this world. They had acc.u.mulated a lot of and occupied a lot of resources.
Although Bai Ans Destiny was powerful, he might not be able to win if he fought against such a force directly. After all, his Destiny was limited. If he forcefully fought against such a terrifying force, he would be completely exhausted sooner or later.
Once that happened, the result would be very bad. Sooner or later, he would end up like Xiao Han. However, Bai An didnt choose to fight against the Eternal Dynasty. Instead, he chose another path.
He infiltrated the Eternal Dynasty and didnt choose to confront them head-on. Instead, he blended in. As a result, the situation was very different. Bai Ans Destiny consumption was greatly reduced, and he didnt even need to consume it.
Because after joining the eternal dynasty, Bai An did not need to face the Eternal Dynastys suppression and pressure, but he could even use the Eternal Dynastys power to help him cultivate to a certain extent.
Therefore, the situation was different. Bai Ans situation was revived. It was no longer the same as before. This incident gave Chen Heng a lot of inspiration.
Destiny doesnt mean everything. Ones ability and choice are also very important
Hiding in the ancient sword alone, Chen Heng had many thoughts. He was particularly clear-headed at this moment. Xiao Han would consume the same Destiny, and at an unimaginable rate
Meanwhile, it could sustain for such a long time on another person
Just like how the same power would have different effects in different peoples hands, the Destiny was the same. In terms of pure Destiny, Xiao Hans and Bai Ans Destinies were almost the same, but the results between the two were vastly different.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng could not help but smile. A look of antic.i.p.ation appeared on his face. At this moment, he was very expectant. He wanted to see just how far Bai An could go after this.
Therefore, he continued to stay in the ancient sword, observing Bai Ans situation alone with this thought in mind. After that, another ten years pa.s.sed.
In these ten years, Bai An once again grew and gradually improved. His strength was originally very strong, close to the level of the Nascent Soul Stage. It could even be said that he was only one step away from that level.
In the past, to sneak into the Eternal Dynasty, he deliberately erased his cultivation to prevent the people of the Eternal Dynasty from finding out anything and suspecting him.
And now, twenty years had pa.s.sed. Not only did he regain his original cultivation, but he also improved and directly reached the peak of the Nascent Transformation Stage.
The peak of the Nascent Transformation Stage was only one step away from the DemiG.o.d Stage. Such strength was impressive even in the Eternal Dynasty. After all, although there was no lack of powerhouses in such a top force, the existence of an awakened true spirit was still extremely rare.
Moreover, given Bai Ans age, he still had a bright future. He could move forward slowly.
Therefore, at this time, his reputation was even higher. He was now responsible for the customer service in the Eternal Dynasty, responsible for some matters that were not considered core.
According to this rhythm, his cultivation base would advance further in another dozen years. After reaching the DemiG.o.d Stage, he might become an elder of the Eternal Dynasty and dominate the world.
If he reached this level, Bai An would be considered a top figure in the Eternal Dynasty.
Then, everything went on as expected. Another ten years pa.s.sed. Bai An officially advanced to the DemiG.o.d Stage. At this level, a DemiG.o.d Stage cultivator was considered top-notch even in the Eternal Dynasty.
This was also the strongest combat power that appeared in the cultivation world today.
Above the DemiG.o.d Stage, it would be sufficient to become the foundation of any forces. It was the true power hidden within, and it would not appear easily.
Cultivators above the DemiG.o.d Stage would not appear easily. Therefore, on the surface, the strongest cultivators that appeared in the entire cultivation world were at the DemiG.o.d Stage.
Bai An had cultivated to this level and already had the qualifications to become an elder of the Eternal Dynasty. Therefore, several years after he advanced to the DemiG.o.d Stage, he smoothly advanced and became an elder of the Eternal Dynasty.
Of course, there were occasional twists and turns in this process. Along with Bai Ans rise to the top and his great reputation, some of his past experiences were also carefully a.n.a.lyzed and brought out for serious discussion and study.
As more people studied, people naturally doubted Bai Ans origin and doubted his ident.i.ty. Of course, this did not affect anything.
Bai Ans actions had always been very cautious. Ever since he left the mountain city and came to Zhongzhou, he had never revealed his hometown, nor had he revealed his origin.
Even the name Bai An was only known to a few people, including Yiu Ruo.
Under such circ.u.mstances, no matter how hard the others tried to investigate, they could only find out what was going on on the surface. This was naturally not a problem to the upper echelon of the eternal dynasty. The Eternal Dynasty had enough strength to be proud of.
They were powerful and had a long history, they had several HeavenlyVenerables inheritances, and they also had more than one Earth Heavenly Weapon. Their strength was enough to look down on everyone.
With such strength, they could naturally ignore many things. Even if Bai Ans background were somewhat questionable, it wouldnt be a big deal. After all, many people like Bai An in the Eternal Dynasty.
To these people, as long as they could be used by the Eternal Dynasty and create value for it, it didnt matter. Ident.i.ty was never the key. It was whether they were useful or not.
Moreover, as an outsider, Bai An could only reach the pinnacle of being an elder as an outsider. He couldnt go any further. This little thing wouldnt bring much threat in the Eternal Dynastys view.
Just like that, Bai An smoothly obtained the position he wanted and became an elder within the Eternal Dynasty. His promotion speed was very fast, just like the increase in his strength.
After becoming an elder of the Eternal Dynasty, Bai didnt do anything. Instead, he was as conscientious as he had been in the past. He was loyal and devoted to the Eternal Dynasty.
In the long run, no one in the eternal dynasty doubted anything. On the surface, to advance further, he directly married the daughter of an elder of the Eternal Dynasty and became a member of the Eternal Imperial Family.
This matter made his position further advance. The Eternal Dynasty was, after all, a bloodline inheritance, and its core inheritance all belonged to the imperial family.
For people like Bai An, if there were no special circ.u.mstances, even if they worked hard and pledged loyalty for their entire lives, they would still be outsiders.
However, if he married someone from the Eternal Imperial Family, it would be different. He could be considered as half a member of the Eternal Imperial Family, and he would be valued and appreciated more by them.
After the marriage, Bai An and his wife became partners. After the marriage, the two of them lived a happy life. In this era, they were considered a model couple, and many people around envied them.
Bai An also showed great grat.i.tude towards the Eternal Imperial Familys help. He even said on many occasions that he wanted to name his future child the surname Liu, which was the surname of the Eternal Imperial Family.
From the perspective of outsiders, Bai An was undoubtedly determined to be loyal to the Eternal Dynasty.
However, only Bai An himself knew. What he was doing now was not really to be close to the Eternal Dynasty. He was just looking for an opportunity to search for the truth.
However, before that, he had to try his best to gain the Eternal Dynastys trust. Only then could he learn more secrets and find an opportunity.
Time pa.s.sed day by day. If nothing unexpected happened, Bai An felt that he would probably have to stay in the Eternal Dynasty for a long time. However, he met someone during an accident.
It was an old man who looked old. He was wearing a Daoist robe and had a calm temperament. He looked like a gentle and elegant person.
He was in an area where spiritual opportunities were scarce. Logically speaking, there shouldnt be any powerful cultivators. Let alone cultivators at the level of Nascent Transformation Stage, even ordinary Nascent Transformation cultivators rarely existed. They were almost extinct.
However, the old Daoist in front of him appeared particularly different. Under Bai Ans gaze, the old Daoist in front of him seemed to have merged with the surrounding heaven and earth, almost overlapping.
Although he didnt seem to have much power on the surface, he was actually extremely terrifying. The moment he saw the old Daoist, the true spirit in Bai Ans body began to jump continuously, warning him. This feeling made him immediately alert, and his expression changed.
Nascent Transformation Stage!
The old Daoist in front of him was also a Nascent Transformation Stage cultivator, and he had probably reached the peak of this level. He was not far from advancing further.
People of this level were rare even in the eternal dynasty, and were considered rare in this world. This area was devoid of spiritual opportunities, and even cultivators were extremely rare. Why was there an old Daoist here?
Various thoughts flashed through Bai Ans mind. He looked at the old Daoist in front of him warily and asked, Sir, may I know who you are?
A savage in the mountains. I dont have any name. You can call me elder Xiao.
The Old Daoist was silent for a long time when he heard Bai Ans words. He didnt reply until a long time had pa.s.sed before he finally spoke. He raised his head and looked at Bai An in front of him. There seemed to be a kind of scrutiny in his gaze.
