Free Web NovelChapter 1007: Chapter 251: Tai Xu Corner Tower (Additional Chapter 1/6 for Alliance Hierarch Chen Zeqing)
Absolute fairness, absolute justice, absolute security.
Jiang Wang thought about it and concluded that the only possibility for achieving the first two was not to interfere at all.
The sun was absolutely fair.
It provided the same light and warmth to everyone, and it didn’t distinguish between the rich and the poor, the wise and the foolish.
Not just to every person. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
A person, an ant, a rock, all bathed in the same sunlight.
Absolute fairness was also absolute ruthlessness.
The sunshine that warmed you would still be the same sunshine that could scorch you to death.
So perhaps this was why the Taixu Sect could only exist as "Overseers."
But what exactly is "oversight"? Where do the standards for oversight lie? ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The Taixu Illusion Realm was laid out across the world, a little high or low in these standards meant a huge space of power.
One could also guess that the forces that helped create the Taixu Illusion Realm would supervise it.
But the Taixu Illusion Realm had only been applied on a small scale so far, probably because such supervision was hard to implement, and no force could be completely reassured.
Just like at the Qi Yang battlefield, as soon as the war started, the Taixu Illusion Realm was immediately isolated.
How could they possibly be absolutely reassured? Unless the Taixu Illusion Realm was set up by Qi Country itself, only then might Qi Country allow it to exist on the battlefield. But then, the other forces would not agree.
In contrast, what sounded the least likely to achieve—"absolute security"—with the testimony of the forces listed by Xu Zefu just now, could indeed be somewhat guaranteed in a worldly sense.
"This absolute security, does it include the security of my own personal information?" Jiang Wang asked.
That was the question he most wanted to know.
How much did the Taixu Sect know about him? Did they know that his Moon Key was inherited from Zuo Guanglie? Did they know that he didn’t originally qualify?
Xu Zefu was first stunned, then seriously said, "I assure you on my personal honor, your information within the Taixu Illusion Realm will not be leaked to anyone unless you disclose it yourself."
"In fact, I only know your ranking in the Discussion Platform, that you have won honor as the foremost cultivator of Taixu Six Harmonies and also as Taixu’s premier Teng Long. Even this information was only authorized to me right before I came out to meet you."
"How did you know that Dugu Wudi was me?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Each person’s every battle leaves related information in the Taixu Illusion Realm. But this information is highly classified. The Taixu Illusion Realm is continuously evolving and hypothesizing. Our Supreme Elder, Xu Yuanzhi, proposed the grand idea of the Taixu Illusion Realm and, over a long period, persuaded the major forces and finally implemented it. In the flow of evolution, he has a slight insight into the rights. This time my coming out here is because he gave a list, regarding your information, I only have your ranking in the Discussion Platform. As for your real-world identity, I learned that through additional investigations."
"It’s not that I doubt you," Jiang Wang asked earnestly and openly, "How can you assure what you just said?"
"It is my duty," Xu Zefu answered very frankly.
He expressed a strong sense of pride when he mentioned the Taixu Sect.
At the moment he said "under the Tai Xu Sect," you could feel his pride and honor.
At this moment, facing Jiang Wang with the cultivation of a deity from God Arrives, his attitude was also one of equality, "Since the day the Taixu Illusion Realm was established, we no longer intervene in it but let it grow and evolve on its own. Earlier I mentioned that the strongest nations and top-tier forces have powerful individuals taking turns overseeing us within the Taixu Sect. So it’s not about how I assure these things, but the Taixu Illusion Realm itself ensures them."
Xu Zefu’s statements, unknown until they are known, once known, there’s always a way to verify.
So, Jiang Wang already believed him eighty percent.
He pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "I heard that the Taixu Illusion Realm might also undergo changes?"
"Chongxuan Sheng told you, right?" Xu Zefu clearly understood the true meaning of his question, and directly said, "All adjustments to the Taixu Illusion Realm must be done under the surveillance of the major forces. Moreover, without the corresponding permissions given by these forces, we couldn’t adjust the Taixu Illusion Realm. With your intelligence, you would understand this matter."
"I am willing to trust you," Jiang Wang nodded, "Now we can discuss the purpose of your visit."
Xu Zefu said calmly, "The Taixu Illusion Realm is to expand."
"Isn’t it already vast?" Jiang Wang didn’t quite understand.
From the Western Territory to the Eastern Territory, spanning tens of thousands of miles, the Taixu Illusion Realm could be accessed everywhere. And it was to expand further?
Could it be expanding to the Lost World, to the Cang Sea? Or perhaps to places similar to the Forest Sea Source Realm, Floating Land?
Xu Zefu shook his head, "It’s not about expanding further outward, but allowing more people to participate."
Currently, indeed, not many people were involved in the Taixu Illusion Realm.
"How can this be accomplished?" asked Jiang Wang.
Xu Zefu took out a jade token from his sleeve and placed it in front of Jiang Wang.
"Tai Xu Corner Tower," he said.
Jiang Wang picked up the jade token, immersed slightly in contemplation, and perceived complex images. Each image had text descriptions, all written in a script that conveyed meaning upon sight.
This was...
The architectural blueprint named Tai Xu Corner Tower.
It included what materials to use, how to construct, and how to imprint formations—the entire construction process detailed thoroughly.
It could be said that anyone could construct the Tai Xu Corner Tower if they followed the instructions on this jade token.
Jiang Wang, holding the jade token, asked, "Is this the key to expanding the Taixu Illusion Realm?"
"Yes, it can receive more power from the Taixu Illusion Realm, and it can also become a support point for the Taixu Illusion Realm itself," Xu Zefu explained. "All cultivators can enter the Taixu Illusion Realm from the Tai Xu Corner Tower."
All cultivators could enter the Taixu Illusion Realm from the Tai Xu Corner Tower!
As an experiencer himself, Jiang Wang knew too well the greatness of the Taixu Illusion Realm.
Moon keys were extremely rare, and so far, in the real world, he had only seen one person, Zhongxuan Sheng, who had one. Of course, just as no one knew he was Dugu Wudi, it might also be that others were concealing their identities in the Taixu Illusion Realm very well.
A Tai Xu Corner Tower could accommodate up to ninety-nine people at a time. That is to say, ninety-nine cultivators could simultaneously advance in the Taixu Illusion Realm through the Tai Xu Corner Tower, and it was not limited to one person like the moon keys.
The Tai Xu Corner Tower meant more quotas for the Taixu Illusion Realm, its value... unimaginable.
Jiang Wang suppressed his emotions, trying to view the matter more clearly, "I still don’t quite understand what you mean by finding me."
Xu Zefu took out a black and white rectangular jade plaque from his sleeve, "Would you be willing to become a Taixu messenger and participate in this great undertaking by helping us build the Tai Xu Corner Tower?"
The jade plaque was evenly divided into black and white colors. It didn’t seem as though painted, but rather naturally so. On the black jade side, there was a white character ’Tai’, and on the white jade side, a black character ’Xu’.
The words ’Tai’ and ’Xu’ were like the Yin and Yang dots within the Yin and Yang fish.
And on the back of the jade plaque, was a starry river.
Vast, grand, mysterious.
Seeing this jade plaque, any prudent person could understand its significance.
"Any person can establish the Tai Xu Corner Tower with this jade token. So," Jiang Wang asked, "why me?"
"Qi Country has opened up permissions, allowing us to build the Tai Xu Corner Tower in the Qi Boundary. However, the builder of the Tower must be approved by Qi Country. The Tower itself must also be under the control of Qi Country."
Xu Zefu explained, "And our prerequisite for seeking a Taixu messenger is acquiring a renowned name in the Taixu Illusion Realm. You are a Six Harmonies cultivator of the Taixu, naturally meeting our standards. Furthermore, you have achieved the rank of Teng Long. Considering these, within the Qi Boundary, we could find no one more suitable than you."
