Chapter 1308 - 1308: So It's Just the Audience Seats

"Liuyuan?"

"Jin Pi?"

"Old Tian Lin?"

Brother Cheng waved to his acquaintances, knowing well that they couldn't see him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't show no reaction.

"So we're not in the same space as them now?"

He asked Ming Jia Daoist Venerable beside him.

The latter was initially listening in on a symposium of dozens of Masters.

Not just him, but around these Masters, thousands of other people were observing.

Some looked pensive, some nodded, and some even closed their eyes, comprehending something.

Hearing Brother Cheng's question, Ming Jia quickly cut off his serious listening state.

"Yes, we haven't entered the main venue of the symposium."

"We can only observe the Masters debating Dao as if we were present through these special seats."

"But in essence, we are not truly next to the Masters."

After saying this, he eagerly consulted Brother Cheng.

"Do you have any more questions?"

Looking at his posture, it seemed he feared delaying his Dao listening even for a second.

It's extremely rare for him to have the patience to answer Jiang Cheng's questions.

"No more."

Brother Cheng was also uninterested in making things difficult for him.

He waved his hand and pondered to himself.

So the effort earlier to enter the venue was just to get an audience seat ticket?

And this audience seat isn't even live, it's merely an AR-like movie experience?

What's the point in that?

He's the chief of the Celestial Pill Department yet waiting far from the venue as an audience member truly diminishes his prestige.

He felt this couldn't continue.

Then, Three-Eyed Tiger's complaint reached his ears.

"Brother, there's nothing of interest here."

"Just watching a bunch of pill refining old folks chatter on without understanding anything is too dull, right?"

Apart from Jiang Cheng, only this Tiger Demon couldn't listen to a single word.

Roaming around the venue with the AR experience, he felt extremely bored.

Others, even Yan Yi the Wolf Girl, were deeply immersed in the Dao listening state.

She was listening to a talk by an Eighth-Grade Imperial Alchemist.

Though she didn't practice pill refining nor intended to develop in Alchemy Dao, as Lian Xiao said before, at the extreme of Dao, different paths lead to the same destination.

In the alchemy control technique explained by that Imperial Alchemist, she discerned some techniques for precise control of origins.

It enlightened her greatly, and she became lost within it.

As for Fan Lei and Ming Jia, there's no need to mention; they felt they gained new insights into alchemy, naturally unwilling to leave.

This is why countless others outside wanted to squeeze in.

The remote audience seat disregarded by Brother Cheng is a throne in the eyes of countless Pill Masters.

"It's indeed dull, how about we find a way to enter the venue?"

He intended to directly join the Alchemy Dao exchange conference.

Three-Eyed Tiger eagerly agreed with both hands.

But a new problem emerged before them.

"How do we enter?"

"There's always a way."

Jiang Cheng said calmly: "If it doesn't work, we can punch through Brahma Painting Mountain to get up there."

He didn't forget about others either.

He immediately roused Ming Jia, Fan Lei, and Yan Yi from their Dao listening state.

Ming Jia was alright, but Fan Lei got furious on the spot.

"Kid, what are you doing? I'm at a critical point of insight, yet you ruin my opportunity?"

Yan Yi also looked displeased.

In her eyes, it was indeed an opportunity.

Jiang Cheng interrupting was quite annoying to them.

Brother Cheng shrugged.

"I plan to leave here, find a way inside the venue, do you want to join?"

Fan Lei snapped back immediately.

"You wish, it's impossible to reach there, besides I'm well here, why go inside?"

Yan Yi also outright rejected the proposal.

"Are you going to mess around again?"

"This rare opportunity, I won't accompany your antics."

After saying this, she turned away from Brother Cheng, submerging again in the Master's lecture.

As for Ming Jia Daoist Venerable, he was visibly conflicted.

He desperately didn't want to leave the audience seat, missing this chance for Dao listening.

But Sect Leader Jiang's orders were hard to oppose.

Seeing him so hesitant, Brother Cheng didn't press further.

"Forget it, continue listening, Three-Eyed Tiger and I will take a stroll."

Subsequently, Brother Cheng and Three-Eyed Tiger exited their audience seats simultaneously.

Gazing at those absorbed in the Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Array, all kinds of immortals seating the venue, he slightly shook his head.

He then scrutinized the corners of the hall.

Soon, he discovered a large pill furnace-shaped archway on one side of the hall.

Below that arch, over a dozen disciples in sect attire were seated, guarding.

Brother Cheng and Three-Eyed Tiger flew over immediately.

They asked upfront: "Buddies, is this the entrance to the main venue?"

The leading Elder of the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect glanced at them disdainfully, "What if it is?"

Brother Cheng anticipated they wouldn't let him in if he wanted access.

However, necessary protocols still needed to be observed.

"I'm Jiang Cheng, chief of the Celestial Pill Department..."

"Okay, okay, spare us the nonsense."

The Elder was indifferent to his Celestial Pill Department identity, dismissing it as fabricated.

"Want to go in, feel free, why make up reasons?"

With that, he directly stepped aside.

Not just him, other gatekeeping disciples also made way, gazing meaningfully at Jiang Cheng and Three-Eyed Tiger.

This surprised the pair greatly.

Brother Cheng had planned, if obstructed, to force his way in.

At any rate, being an Eighth-Grade Imperial Alchemist, even in this Refining Heart Dao, his combat power was among the top.

Yet, they didn't obstruct at all.

He wasn't foolish; seeing the disciples' mocking expressions, it was clear the venue wasn't easy to enter.

However, outwardly, he remained unflustered.

He even turned back to boast to Three-Eyed Tiger: "See, my face value is just that high."

Three-Eyed Tiger countered, "I also contributed to it."

Afterward, the duo swaggered through the archway.

In an instant, their figures vanished into a dazzling white light.

Unbeknownst to them, right after they entered, the Outer Sect Elder of the Nine Revolutions Pill Sect snickered.

"Another pair of clueless fools, even we aren't qualified to enter the venue, yet they dare imagine."

Nearby sect disciples took pleasure in the mishap.

"Such reckless ones will not only face setbacks upon entry but also lose the invaluable Dao listening opportunity — serves as profound lessons."

"Hmph, they deserve a lesson!"

None believed Jiang Cheng and Three-Eyed Tiger could access the venue.

To enter the main venue, an Immortal Talisman was required.

Without that specially crafted Jade Talisman, entering the arch would subject them to the internal world rules of Brahma Painting Mountain.

Even an Eighth-grade Grandmaster couldn't withstand it.
