The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 1894: Why did he do this?

Why did he do this? . . .

That day, the Northern Sky's big army, in order to catch the Destiny Toad, had torn apart almost ten thousand li of earth and flattened it into level ground. Also, the final explosion of the Destiny Toad was an even bigger factor in leveling the Fog Miasma Mountains to the ground.

Now that time has arrived at the current day, this place had already developed into the Limitless Ocean's largest stretch of fields.

The banners of Heaven's Leaf fluttered tall in the wind.

Every possible type and style of banner was present, creating a flapping sound that created an ocean of flags. The noise of voices drilling rose and fell, and it was a certain type of harmony in disorder, with dust filling the sky.

One figure after another traveled back and forth, coming and going, rapidly reporting on the newest current developments and information. In order to keep them fast and efficient, these people who were in charge of passing on information were all high level cultivators at Eternal Life Stage rank 7 or higher.

Cha Yunduan kept watch in the middle of the forces. His face had never started looking hurried, and he was constantly calm, with orders continuing to come from him like running water, continually transmitting.

Everyone saw him come out under this kind of peak pressure. Cha Yunduan wasn't overwhelmed by this weight at all, and instead was sailing against the current, using this kind of oppressive atmosphere to rapidly mature and undergo a metamorphosis.

"If Cha Yunduan had been at this standard earlier, had this attitude, we would have had more leeway in contending in this war. However, right now, it's already too late. He has the intention to mend the pen after losing the sheep. He's dealing with his shortcomings too extremely." Old Man Guan sighed deeply in his heart, watching Cha Yunduan.

"What definite movements have we seen from the side of the Monarch's Hall?" Old Man Qin asked.

"Monarch Cha hasn't acted at all, not a sound nor a breath. It seems as though he intends to bide his time and watch the changes," someone replied.

"This should be a surefire plan to answer ten thousand changes by not changing." Old Man Guan sighed. "When all is said and done, our situation right now is actually too chaotic. It's hard to reason out the outline in the middle of this kind of chaotic situation. Not entering the situation at all, not entering the battle, is the most dependable method right now… They have the tree fortress's strength to depend on, and they still have a relationship with both the Dragon and Phoenix Kings, who are major figures of Glaze Sky. He really can advance and retreat according to a sense of propriety, attacking and defending when suitable… Monarch Cha is calculating and watching the wind and clouds, peeping into their changes!"

…

Precisely as Old Man Guan had said, Cha-Eun Xiao was indeed quietly watching the changes of the wind and clouds. However, he also wasn't merely blindly waiting and watching.

He was still gathering information from all sides, going a step further to analyze and evaluate every movement related to this frightened world's war situation. He was paying attention at every time and every moment.

Even if it was the tiniest of changes, he would never let it slip by.

In this series of probes, Cha-Eun Xiao astonishingly discovered that, besides himself completely laying low, the House of Chaotic Storms' Young Master Bai also had no traces of movement.

En, apparently it also didn't stop at the House of Chaotic Storms. No matter if it was the Hall of Returning Nature, the Brotherhood, or even the Evil League, all these influences had already withdrawn out of the arena of the Limitless Ocean.

All that remained was just the striving of the entire rest of the world!

"For this big battle, although there is the turning point of Big Mister Cha appearing in the world again, this sudden rise of changes still is a rather abrupt abnormality. If you said that there wasn't a person in the shadows moving back and forth, that there wasn't a person using plots and tricks to urge the course of events, I absolutely would not believe you."

Cha-Eun Xiao wrinkled his brows. "But, if someone is seriously playing tricks, I'm convinced that besides Bai Chen, I believe there wouldn't be a second person who could do it!"

"Only, to painstakingly provoke this battle of the century like that, what exactly is his real intention!?"

Cha-Eun Xiao contemplated, and at last laughed, mumbling, "Young Master Bai… Will you seriously invite the focus to be released under this stretch of sky?!"

"If so, his final desire… is thus to clean up the mess?" Cha-Eun Xiao wrinkled his brows. "Believing this… it's not easy… Like this, many top Dao powerhouses want to sit here and benefit from both sides, and they even want to try to take big advantages. Whatever the place is, their top Dao powerhouses all cannot lack foresight. Young Master Bai isn't being cautious at all, and is exactly drawing attention to be devoured in reverse. At any time, a trick could happen and a group could besiege him, so much so that the present world's strongest cultivators could be ambushed and killed. This sort of movement, is it seriously worth it…?"

"Getting to the bottom of it, what is Young Master Bai's plan? How could he possibly be someone who lacks foresight?!"

The more Cha-Eun Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that this certainly had other strange matters involved. However, Young Master Bai clearly knew he was involved, and thus concentrating on promoting this war situation was unwise. For him to do it anyway, he presumably had his reasons.

Cha-Eun Xiao invited Xuan Bing, Jue Yinglian, Su Yeyue, Yue Shuang and Yue Han, Chi Huo, the Flower King, and all other people of that standing to gather together at one place. In addition to Meng Youjiang, who they came across on the way, they had no more than ten people altogether. However, these people were all of the high level strength of the Monarch's Hall.

Cha-Eun Xiao first said his conjecture, and then turned it over to everyone else to discuss and pool their collective wisdom. He wanted them to find things he had overlooked, things he hadn't called to mind.

"If this matter really is as Young Master said, and Young Master Bai seriously is among those putting hand to it and promoting this war in the Human Realms, then we first must try to guess for a time. Why does Young Master Bai believe that, in the middle of the possibility of being devoured in kind, he can survive with his life?"

Xuan Bing said, "If he doesn't have the prerequisite of having the self-confidence to survive this with his life, then doing this is a very big opportunity to be busy for nothing. Moreover, it would still give a chance for other people to take advantage. Young Master Bai absolutely isn't the kind of fool who would consider this kind of move!"

"Then, his movements up until now mean he is fairly convinced he will take the whole world in his pocket!"

"Right now what we clearly must find out is, what does Young Master Bai have in his grasp? What exactly is it?"

"Also, what trump cards might he have that he hasn't yet revealed? Only, right now's House of Chaotic Storms is too different, it's fundamentally no use! Just with regards to the current situation, even if we increase the revealed strength of the House of Chaotic Storms by tenfold, or even a hundredfold, it's not enough to be what he has in his grasp."

"Like that, Young Master Bai must certainly have additional strength, an enormous additional strength that's hard to imagine!"

"Arriving at this, where did this additional strength actually come from?"

Xuan Bing spoke continuously without interruption, making everyone's complexions gradually become heavy.

Cha-Eun Xiao's fingers lightly rapped on the tabletop. He slowly said, "Comparing with other influences, we finally still are aware that Young Master Bai was already causing chaotic storms in the Lower Worlds for nearly ten thousand years of time… I believe, that knowing Young Master Bai's skill, there's no reason he would squander away that long of an available time… In other words, we should think of why he would be interested in descending to the Lower Worlds, as well as… What did he go to the Lower Worlds to do? If we can figure out this timeline, perhaps we can make some sense of this matter and continue to establish connections!"

Cha-Eun Xiao's words were sudden, but it revealed everything before everyone's eyes.

Right, Bai Chen stayed in the Lower Worlds for how many tens of thousands of years of time. Where was the benefit in this? Before, when he was in the Lower World, what was he doing again?

So long as they were capable of fully understanding these things, even if they just merely obtained some spider webs and horse tracks level of clues, perhaps they would be able to make an unexpected discovery!

"I'll mention this point first. Before Young Master Bai went to the Lower Worlds, the House of Chaotic Storms as an organization didn't exist in the Human Realm Upon Heavens," Cha-Eun Xiao said. "This point, we can completely see from every kind of written record."
