Chapter 500: Nine Thunders Monarch
Tianyi, who originally planned to enter the Numinous Realm, decided to take his time. At least, he wanted to see who exactly this Elder Nine Thunders was.
Unlike when he visited Jade Peak, Tianyi didn’t know where to go to find Elder Nine Thunders. He didn’t know who the person was, so he couldn’t spread his immortal sense to detect. Not to mention that he had sneaked into the sect grounds. Although his body may be hidden in the layers of spacetime, using his immortal sense would likely expose him.
As a member of the Buzhou Immortal Sect himself, Tianyi shouldn’t need to fear revealing himself. The problem was his identity. Even if he explained that he was someone from another timeline and he wasn’t Xi Longtian, many sect members would likely be hostile to him. They might even lock him up until they can verify his words.
His best chance at verification, the Immortal Court Spirit, was likely gone or in hibernation. And he didn’t want to be locked up. He had better things to spend his time on.
Hiding his identity would be counterproductive. If he exposed himself, they would just think he was an invader and be even more hostile.
Tianyi sighed. Aside from his eyes, his face really brought him a lot of trouble. At first glance, it appeared different from the other Dragon Emperor clones, but upon closer inspection, anyone who knew would be able to see the signs.
However, that didn’t mean he had no direction. From the team of cultivators’ conversation, Elder Nine Thunders should be a newly risen monarch with considerable influence. So visiting Sect Master Xia might lead to more clues.
On the way up the mountain, Tianyi’s step paused. He stared at a person he hadn’t seen in over two thousand years. Unlike the emotionless state he had seen him before, the handsome man radiated an aura of gentleness. He had a jade coronet holding up his hair and a plain sword on his waist.
Tianyi didn’t say anything and followed the man up Central Peak. When the man entered the palace, he saw Sect Master Xia waiting for him in the main hall. He cupped his fist toward the sect master. “Disciple, Xia Yushan, greets Master.”
