My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1238 - 1190: The Dao Transforms and Returns to the Stone Mother
Chen Tianhai’s eyes flashed with a strange light.
"My Taiyan Sect has avoided the world and seldom interacted with the outside for thousands of years. Yet your Master actually knows our hiding place."
"He must have some understanding of us. Even so, he still took the initiative to send you to contact us..."
"He is certain that we would be interested in this [Beyond Variables]."
Upon hearing this, Sun Erlang couldn’t help but freeze: "Is that so?"
However, thinking of his Master’s mysterious and unfathomable background, and his seemingly omniscient Divine Techniques, he quickly felt relieved again.
"In this world, there are indeed transcendental variables that exist. Some even have a profound impact, changing the fate of the Xuanhuang World."
"Our Yantian Nine Scrolls, although known to predict all things under Heaven, if guests from beyond the heavens or True Immortals descend, such things that have already transcended Heaven and Earth themselves occur..."
"We naturally are powerless."
Chen Tianhai said frankly without any evasion.
"However, our Taiyan Sect does not reject or fear the occurrence of such variables beyond calculation," he said in a deep and meaningful tone, his words seemingly holding more than was spoken.
"Guests from beyond the heavens?" Sun Erlang mused.
But immediately, he suppressed this slight stirring in his heart.
No matter the origin of his Master, his current identity was that of the Sacred Dynasty Daqi’s sole Heavenly Emperor, on whom the rise and fall of billions of living beings depended.
As his Master’s eldest disciple, he would always firmly stand before his Master.
"So, does this mean elder agrees to our request for an alliance?" After a brief silence, Sun Erlang spoke up.
"If there is a chance of victory, why would we refuse?" Chen Tianhai said with a slight smile, not answering directly.
"What does the elder mean by that?"
"If the simulation calculations show such a deviation, we naturally need to make corrections. Since the Sacred Dynasty Daqi wishes to form an alliance with us, they wouldn’t reject an inspection by an ally, would they?" Chen Tianhai spoke indifferently.
"This..."
The other party’s request was somewhat beyond Sun Erlang’s expectations.
When he had set out, his Master had not instructed him on how to handle such a situation.
"Erlang, you may decide on these matters on your own. This Taiyan Sect is important..."
"Yet unimportant."
Sun Erlang suddenly recalled the last words his Master had said before his departure.
"If you are apprehensive even when facing a mere Taiyan Sect, how will you contest the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals for dominion over the Xuanhuang World later on?"
A surge of boldness rose in his heart, and Sun Erlang blurted out: "The Sacred Dynasty Daqi awaits you with open arms. The Taiyan Sect is welcome at any time."
In Chen Tianhai’s eyes, a blue light surfaced for no apparent reason.
He gave no response, merely deep in thought.
"Since the young man has said so, our Taiyan Sect shall send an Envoy to accompany you to Daqi. To discover the truth for ourselves."
It was only after a long pause that Chen Tianhai finally spoke.
Sun Erlang felt an inexplicable sense of relief, as though he had just walked on the edge of life and death.
"Then elder, when shall we set out?"
"There is no rush, for a distant guest is a friend. Young man, you have traveled a long way to come here, which was not an easy task. Our Taiyan Sect hasn’t had visitors for thousands of years."
"Moreover, you have brought back Yi Xing’s bones."
Chen Tianhai pondered for a moment, then asked: "I wonder, young man, are you interested in our [Simulation]?"
"Naturally, I am curious about it."
Chen Tianhai nodded, and in an instant, the ground and decorations around him vanished.
It was as though the two of them appeared amidst the void, with an azure blue crystal in the front, radiating a captivating brilliance.
"This is the [Transmutation Stone Mother]."
Chen Tianhai spoke with an inexplicable tone.
"Transmutation Stone Mother?" Sun Erlang repeated the words.
He looked at the mysterious crystal not far away and was somewhat shocked to find that he couldn’t discern the details on the surface of the crystal.
It seemed capable of being infinitely subdivided, each mirror-like edge revealing countless tiny surfaces upon closer inspection.
Just by glimpsing it for a moment, Sun Erlang felt a wave of dizziness and blurriness overcoming him.
He immediately averted his gaze.
"The Transmutation Stone Mother is the foundation of our Taiyan Sect. The Grand Master passed down the Tianyan Nine Scrolls, but the Methods are so profound that they are not for ordinary people to study. Even for those of unparalleled talent, to fully cultivate the Tianyan Nine Scrolls to their ultimate potential would require the exhaustion of one’s life force, leading to an untimely death," Chen Tianhai flashed to the side of the gigantic azure blue crystal as he spoke. His figure seemed to merge with the Transmutation Stone Mother.
"If such difficulty arises even for geniuses, let alone ordinary people. The inherent nature of the Tianyan Nine Scrolls’ Techniques has doomed our Taiyan Sect to only having a handful of disciples each generation. With such a decline in talent, it becomes hard for our sect to flourish. Perhaps one day, even the title of being among the Immortal Dao Ten Clans will be hard to preserve."
"This was the predicted end for our Taiyan Sect."
"If it were not for the Transmutation Stone Mother."
The tone of Chen Tianhai’s voice suddenly changed.
"Even a small fragment from the Stone Mother could allow a mortal to possess calculation abilities comparable to Unity-Path Experts in an instant. What a great creation this is!"
"Young man, the white papers Yi Xing carried before his death, have you brought them?" Chen Tianhai suddenly asked Sun Erlang as he looked towards him.
Only then did Sun Erlang abruptly remember and quickly took out the white papers.
"These white papers have a name, known as the Treasure Box of Reversing Robbery. They are a common tool used by the disciples of the Taiyan Sect to practice their calculation abilities."
"There are precisely forty-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine papers. One only needs to restore them to their original sequence to recreate the appearance of the treasure box."
"Would you like to give it a try, young man?" Chen Tianhai scattered the white papers in the air and let them drift without pattern before he turned to Sun Erlang with a smile and asked.
"Restore them in sequence?"

Sun Erlang had studied those white papers before, and they were all identical, with no special markings whatsoever.
"Purely based on luck, with no special secret technique?" Sun Erlang ventured to ask.
Looking at Chen Tianhai’s expression, Sun Erlang made a quick internal calculation and his face suddenly turned pale.
He decisively refused.
"That’s the way it is. For ordinary people, this is a task impossible to complete even if one spends their whole life. But for a Taiyan Sect disciple who possesses a Stone of Transformation..."
"It’s nothing but a moment’s effort!"
With a light flick of his finger, the white papers scattered across the sky began to whirl frantically.
One by one, they aligned themselves in order.
Eventually, all the papers returned to their places, and after a dazzling flash of light, the treasure box opened.
A Jade Scroll and a lustrous blue stone.
The appearance of the Stone of Transformation in the treasure box seemed to resonate with the Transmutation Stone Mother.
Under the illumination of the Stone Mother’s light, the color of the Stone of Transformation seemed even deeper.
Chen Tianhai first put away the Jade Scroll and then the Stone of Transformation.
His expression was somewhat wistful before he turned to Sun Erlang and said, "Young man, I gift this Stone of Transformation to you."
It was not until the Stone of Transformation landed in his hand that Sun Erlang came back to his senses.
"Ah?"
