Exchange

"Tai Bufan was indeed a powerful figure of my Tai Clan, but that was a long time ago."

So many years have passed, and the past glories have long become history.

Tai Da responded.

Tai Bufan was indeed their ancestor who had once wielded Power That Cannot Be Controlled; this was undeniable, and he didn't want to argue about it.

On the Huaxia Sect's side, someone spoke up after Tai Da responded.

"Perhaps it is precisely because so much time has passed that your Tai Clan has now experienced a resurgence, regaining the ability to wield that Power That Cannot Be Controlled."

"These things, as long as your Tai Clan can remain calm..."

"Whether it's true that it doesn't exist or not, we outsiders naturally wouldn't know."

Having said that, Tai Da calmly looked at the powerful figures from the Huaxia Sect and gently shook his head.

"Since you're already here, you must have already reached a conclusion."

"There's no point in my Tai Clan arguing here now."

"But the Huaxia Sect has already become so powerful, dominating the top of this world for countless generations. Recently, they have also mastered the Power of Time, which is another step forward."

"Have you all gathered here today in my Tai Clan truly for that Power That Cannot Be Controlled?"

As Tai Da spoke, his gaze also fell on other parts of the crowd.

Among the forces that came on this trip, there were quite a few that had once claimed to share both prosperity and adversity.

They came together for the power and dominance of the Huaxia Sect, but now that the Huaxia Sect has acted in this way, these forces dare not speak out.

To think that such a method could shake the dominant position of the Huaxia Sect is truly wishful thinking.

At this moment, a figure from the Huaxia Sect suddenly spoke impatiently.

"All this whining and complaining is a waste of everyone's time."

"Our Huaxia Sect has come here today for only one thing: to make an exchange with your Tai Clan."

Exchange?

Upon hearing this word, most of the onlookers showed expressions of surprise.

Given the sheer size and strength of the Huaxia Sect, and the fact that they've already come to our doorstep, why bother exchanging anything?

Shouldn't we be forcing the Tai Clan to hand over their Power That Cannot Be Controlled at this point?

With so many people around, even if the Tai Clan resists, it's believed that with the Huaxia Sect action, many other forces will follow suit.

At that point, everyone will kick the wall when it's falling, and even if the Tai Clan doesn't want to hand it over, it will be impossible, unless they are willing to sacrifice their years of accumulated wealth.

Others, however, looked curiously at the powerful figure from the Huaxia Sect who had spoken, and couldn't help but call out to him.

What will they offer in exchange?

Many people's eyes were now fixed on Li Baimei, their expressions filled with speculation and anticipation.

Now even the Venerable Baimei has arrived. Is he here to maintain order, or is the item being exchanged the Power of Time?

In a short time, everyone was already speculating.

At this moment, the person who had spoken earlier continued to speak.

"Our Huaxia Sect has recently gained access to the Power of Time, a fact known to all."

"It just so happens that your Tai Clan possesses Power That Cannot Be Controlled, both of which are not ordinary beings in this world."

Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone.

"Right now, all your Tai Clan needs to do is hand over the method to control the Power That Cannot Be Controlled and inform the world. In return, our Huaxia Sect can give your Tai Clan a chance to experience the Power of Time ahead of time."

Upon hearing this, gasps of surprise immediately arose from the vast sea of cultivators in the world.

The figures stared incredulously at the person from the Huaxia Sect who had spoken, then turned their gaze to Xia Xun.

He quickly nodded and said in a low voice.

"Indeed, someone who can wield the Power That Cannot Be Controlled should be able to easily control the Power of Time as well."

Xia Xun's words essentially confirmed what the powerful figure from the Huaxia Sect had just said.

Now, the cultivators were no longer just surprised, but excited and expectant.

I can't believe my ears.

Someone exclaimed excitedly.

"So, the goal isn't for the Tai Clan to hand over the method for wielding Power That Cannot Be Controlled to the Huaxia Sect, but rather to inform the world?"

"Now that I'm here, if the Tai Clan hands it over, wouldn't I know immediately?"

Some people were deeply moved:

"No wonder the Huaxia Sect has been able to sit at the top for so long. I doubt any other force would have dared to do something like this."

"If the Tai Clan themselves say they really can't teach you how to master it, then this trip has truly been worthwhile!"

The vast majority of clan forces looked at the Huaxia Sect with some suspicion. They didn't believe that the Huaxia Sect would be so kind as to want the world to know.

The leader of a powerful clan gave Tai Da a deep look, then spoke to the person beside him.

"It seems the Tai Clan truly doesn't possess that Power That Cannot Be Controlled, and the Huaxia Sect's goal is probably not actually that Power That Cannot Be Controlled."

Others offered their analysis.

"It seems that this Power That Cannot Be Controlled will not be easy to master."

"The Huaxia Sect must have enough confidence, and even if other forces obtained the method, they probably wouldn't be able to master it easily."

Speculation abounded, but the powerful members of the Tai Clan sneered inwardly.

The Huaxia Sect's words were essentially meaningless. Ostensibly, they talked about an exchange, but in reality, anyone with a brain could tell what they were really doing—they were simply trying to make their actions seem more righteous.

Of course, that's not the problem right now. The most crucial issue is that, regardless of whether they're willing to hand it over or not, they simply don't have the method.

Back then, their Tai Clan's Tai Bufan ancestor did indeed possess Power That Cannot Be Controlled, and it was precisely because of this Power That Cannot Be Controlled that he dominated a region, becoming a glorious point in the Tai Clan's past.

The problem is that even at that time, according to the records in the family genealogy, the ancestor Tai Bufan tried many methods, but ultimately failed to produce a new person in the Tai Clan who could wield Power That Cannot Be Controlled.

Furthermore, the Tai Bufan ancestor himself was quite unique; he was once the only member of the Lineage who was unable to cultivate.

Such people are not uncommon among the Tai Clan, and they mostly live out their lives in obscurity.

However, by sheer coincidence, the ancestor arrived at the place where Power That Cannot Be Controlled gathered.

According to the clan's records, what set the Tai Bufan ancestor apart from others was that when others went to places where Power That Cannot Be Controlled gathered, they only felt uncomfortable and dangerous.

However, the Tai Bufan ancestor was like a fish returning to its pond; he didn't even need to deliberately study how to master that Power That Cannot Be Controlled, it was as natural as breathing.

This very situation made it even more impossible for him to leave anything useful for future generations.
