Chapter 1754: Establishing a Firm Foothold, Cloud Lan's Letter (Part 1)
After leading everyone to the Wasteland Star Territory, Jiang Chengxuan sat calmly in the secret realm, unmoving like a mountain. He chose to face any changes with steadiness, and eventually, this led to the arrival of the number one powerhouse of the Wasteland Star Territory.
This outcome had already been anticipated by him, so when the old man looked at him and straightforwardly asked questions, Jiang Chengxuan wore a mysterious smile, neither humble nor overbearing, and clasped his hands in salute, saying:
“I am a guest in a foreign land, and by fate, I have come here. I seek nothing more and apologize for the disturbance.”
This remark made the Taibai Xuan Zun pause. He thought of many possibilities but did not expect Jiang Chengxuan to respond in such a manner. Moreover, to his surprise, this person appeared much younger than he had imagined, yet his strength was undoubtedly on par with his own, both being in the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm!
This news caused a weight to settle in the old man's heart. His gaze locked with Jiang Chengxuan's, both of them exchanging looks, constantly weighing their thoughts.
Although Jiang Chengxuan claimed to be here as a guest, one could not have guests arriving uninvited. During their silent standoff, Jiang Chengxuan maintained his courteous attitude, but according to the previous reports from the domain's various sect masters, this had not been the case from the start.
“Heh, I am Taibai, an elder of the Wasteland Star Territory. Recently, I heard from several immortals in this territory that a mysterious guest has arrived, and they are quite unsettled by it…”
Taibai Xuan Zun mused for a while, then spoke with a half-smile, his tone full of gravitas.
From these words, it seemed like he was clarifying the reason for Jiang Chengxuan's arrival, but in reality, it contained a hint of criticism, as if blaming Jiang Chengxuan for entering uninvited, causing unrest among the local sects, prompting them to report to him.
The implication was that this trouble had been caused by Jiang Chengxuan, and now it was his responsibility to resolve it.
As the elder of this domain, Taibai Xuan Zun had to maintain his authority. He could not allow an intruder to roam freely without taking action. After all, there had been complaints, so an explanation had to be given.
“Oh? That was my oversight, and I apologize for disturbing everyone.”
Jiang Chengxuan responded with an expression of surprise, as though genuinely unaware.
However, he also knew that such a simple excuse would not be enough to pass through unnoticed.
Thus, Jiang Chengxuan's expression remained calm as he spoke again:
“How about this? In a few days, I will personally offer some compensation to the sects that have been disturbed nearby, as a gesture of apology.”
Upon hearing this, Taibai Xuan Zun's eyes flickered a few times before he nodded and stroked his white beard. Then, something even more perplexing happened.
The two of them, under the clear breeze and bright moon, began to casually chat, discussing trivial matters, as if they had been acquainted for many years.
This left the various sect masters of the Wasteland Star Territory, who were secretly observing from a distance, utterly confused.
However, after a short while, Taibai Xuan Zun did not hesitate any longer and left just like that.
Soon after, Jiang Chengxuan returned to the secret realm.
This scene left the sect masters of the Wasteland Star Territory dumbfounded, and they began to harbor suspicions in their hearts. After sighing deeply, they dispersed one by one.
“Husband, how did it go? Were there any unexpected developments?”
Back in the newly built mountain gate of the Scatter Cultivation Alliance, Shen Ruyan eagerly waited for Jiang Chengxuan, her eyes full of anticipation.
She could easily sense Taibai Xuan Zun's presence and knew his purpose.
“Everything went smoothly. In a few days, I'll send some Celestial Immortal Pills to a few sects around here to show my apology. That will be the end of it.”
When his wife inquired, Jiang Chengxuan answered without hesitation. He was open about the situation, explaining the exchange with the old man in detail.
Indeed, this was the final result after Taibai Xuan Zun got involved. In the end, he did not even figure out where Jiang Chengxuan came from, because Jiang Chengxuan had kept silent on that matter.
The Celestial Immortal Pills, which were all Taibai Xuan Zun could bargain for, were all that Jiang Chengxuan was willing to offer. Any more than that, Jiang Chengxuan was not inclined to give.
Whether in the Xuanming realm or the ancient world, everything was based on strength!
After personally arriving in this place, Taibai Xuan Zun had already realized that Jiang Chengxuan's strength was extraordinary, not someone to be trifled with.
This alone was enough to put Jiang Chengxuan in an invincible position.
During their conversation, Jiang Chengxuan had presented himself as a guest, showing that he had no further ambitions. If Taibai Xuan Zun had continued to press him for answers or ordered him to leave, it would have meant a direct confrontation.
So, the old man chose not to press further, accepting Jiang Chengxuan's offer of compensation. At least this way, he could save face while securing some benefits for the sects that had lost territory to Jiang Chengxuan.
Beyond that, he would not and could not do anything more, because the price was too high.
Jiang Chengxuan was not on his Taibai Xian Sect's land, so why would he seek to provoke Jiang Chengxuan?
“That's great! Husband, when you step in, success is guaranteed! Hehe!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruyan's beautiful eyes sparkled with joy as she teased him.
With that, establishing a foothold for their group in the Wasteland Star Territory was considered a success.
At this moment, the entire secret realm and the ancient world's heavens were fully integrated.
On this day, many of the Xuanming immortals immediately felt the immense foundation of the ancient world and could not help but feel grateful that they had followed Jiang Chengxuan to this place.
