Chapter 1612: Chapter 981: Reaching a Consensus

Thinking of this, Emperor Huanfen felt somewhat repressed in her heart.

It’s one thing to be less skilled than others,

the key issue is that the Primordial Ancestor of the Bizarre Clan, such a dignified figure, shamelessly engages in group fights.

If it were a one-on-one battle, she was confident she would absolutely be no less skilled.

Jiang Hui, unaware of the woman’s thoughts, was only focused on drinking.

He carefully tasted it, and after savoring it for a long time in his mouth, he confirmed that the taste of his Monkey Wine had undergone some changes.

It had become even more delicious.

If it used to be a premium spirit, now it was equivalent to Maotai, a significant improvement indeed.

No need to think, it must be Emperor Huanfen who had secretly adjusted the formula.

He was somewhat surprised, that such a dignified Sacrificial Path existence could still brew wine?! And quite skillfully at that.

If he could learn it, he would certainly indulge in a feast for his palate.

Just as Jiang Hui was about to inquire, Emperor Huanfen spoke first: "Well, Brother Jiang of the Dao, do you think what I said is correct?"

Although he didn’t hear a word, in this realm, it was merely a matter of a single thought.

He nodded but then shook his head.

Emperor Huanfen was surprised: "Brother Jiang of the Dao, what do you mean by this? Why did you nod and then shake your head..."

Jiang Hui explained: "I nodded because there are some valid points in what you said."

"Then why shake your head?"

"Because there are also points that are invalid."

"Oh, tell me about them."

Emperor Huanfen did not feel belittled, nor was she angered by having her viewpoints dismissed.

Such are the thoughts of the mediocre.

In her view, someone like Jiang Hui, who could entirely rely on himself to ascend to this unprecedented realm,

would certainly not view matters less astutely than herself; the reason for this must be because she had overlooked something.

She immediately humbled herself to seek guidance.

"The valid point is, together with this seat, you indeed possess the power to challenge the Bizarre Clan on that plateau, making them feel as if facing a great enemy!"

"And the invalid point?"

Jiang Hui pursed his lips, his gaze looking into the distance with a solemn expression: "Do you believe, my fellow Daoist, that the day we suppressed the Phantom Primordial Ancestor, was truly the entire foundation of that ominous plateau?"

With these words,

Emperor Huanfen’s clear, autumn water-like eyes slightly contracted, and her whole persona suddenly froze.

To tell the truth, how could she not have considered this question.

But even having three Phantom Primordial Ancestors at her same realm was beyond belief.

However, when these words came from someone else’s mouth, especially someone like Brother Jiang of the Dao, who not only saved her life but also broke through to this realm, it was different.

In Brother Jiang’s view, could it be that the Phantom Primordial Ancestors on that plateau number more than three?!

"On the plateau, the number of Phantom Primordial Ancestors is ten, the ultimate tally of the Bizarre Clan."

Before Emperor Huanfen could speak, Jiang Hui had already begun to explain.

"Ten!!"

The voice of doubt was quite sharp as it echoed.

Emperor Huanfen instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

Even to her ears, this news was indeed rather shocking.

She opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, her heart continuously weighing this piece of news,

while also digesting it.

It was truly difficult to imagine how a single clan could possess such a foundation to give birth to a full ten Sacrificial Path Realm beings?!

Also,

Jiang Hui has never visited the plateau, so how does he know this?

She didn’t believe Jiang Hui would use this as a deception.

Emperor Huanfen’s heart was awash with curiosity, though outwardly she maintained her composure,

yet her autumn water-like eyes were even more focused, staring intently at Jiang Hui.

"Brother Jiang of the Dao, how did you know there are ten Phantom Primordial Ancestors on the plateau? Could it be you have seen it with your own eyes?"

Jiang Hui immediately shook his head, casually coming up with a reason:

"I have never personally set foot on the plateau. But I have my ways to know these things."

Revealing this news was mainly to make Emperor Huanfen behave a bit more, otherwise thinking all day of launching another attack on the plateau was not a solution either.

Not that it couldn’t be done.

It’s just, even if the two of them joined forces, it would not necessarily be enough to suppress the Bizarre Clan for good.

After all, on the plateau, Phantom Primordial Ancestors held an innate advantage and could revive without restriction.

Unless their karma and all traces of existence were completely eradicated, never to be reborn.

Only then could they be barely completely slain.

But that was in the original account.

Uncertain whether it could still be done now, and even if it could, it would cost an enormous price.

It would be easy to incur more losses than gains.

In the original account,

Emperor Huang Tian’s True Body was subjected to an unprecedented impact.

Emperor Huang Tian, for the sake of all living beings under the heavens, for the Ten Thousand Clans, at all costs, was willing to sacrifice himself to eradicate the Black Calamity and restore peace to the infinite universe.

But after eternal years had passed, there was only that one Emperor Huang Tian.

He was born in response to calamity, and his life was spent in battle, advancing in battle or perishing in it.

Jiang Hui could not achieve such selflessness.

Therefore, if the gain was less than or equal to the cost involved, or even greater but not by much, Jiang Hui would choose to merely observe.

Unless there came a moment where he had no other choice but to act.

"Dare I ask Brother Jiang of the Dao, what means did you use to obtain this knowledge?!"

Emperor Huanfen had a genuine intent to explore thoroughly.

After all, she had stepped into the Sacrificial Path Realm earlier, and for a longer period.

Logically speaking, if there truly were such means, she should have been the first to know.

However, recalling the holistic treasure in Brother Jiang’s possession that had saved her from the hands of the Phantom Primordial Ancestors, which she too had no way of comprehending,

Emperor Huanfen indeed had an increased belief in what Jiang Hui had said.
