'The Ten Thousand Immortals Ceremony is in ten years. Perfect. In five years, I'll go watch Senior Tang Fei's sword duel, then journey to the Endless Sea of Suffering... When I return, I'll be just in time for the auction.'
Bai Zichen ran the numbers. The schedule worked out perfectly.
In five years, the Qing Emperor Longevity Sword's concealment and tempering would be complete, giving him a fighting chance even against a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
A few years was too tight for a trip to the Central Domain; he'd have to rush back before he even had a chance to properly explore.
By contrast, he had a map of the Thirty-Six Demon Caves of the Sea of Suffering, making it a much more suitable destination.
