Chapter 2024: Chapter 80: Subjugation
On the boundless grassland.
Spaces filled with wrinkles are visible everywhere.
“Just now, it seems Senior Sister managed to scare those treasure hunters, haha. It’s not just them; even I was startled.”
Wang Ba cautiously avoided these folds and twists while chuckling softly in approval.
The few people surrounding him recalled Yu Wuheng’s nonchalant yet astonishing methods, and they couldn’t help but marvel.
Chen Xuan’s eyes gleamed with joy, for having such a powerful figure backing them increased their chances of success significantly.
Yu Wuheng remained calm and composed:
“It’s just the Dao Treasure’s blessing.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba nodded, not surprised by the response.
Although Yu Wuheng was a Seventh-Order Tao Domain, he didn’t have such abilities in the past, clearly having refined the Land-Parting Staff and leveraged the power of this top-grade innate treasure.
But at that moment, Yu Wuheng quietly conveyed to Wang Ba:
“The power of this Land-Parting Staff is overwhelming. Without a treasure to suppress the Primordial Spirit, my spirit wouldn’t withstand it more than a few times. You should be aware.”
Wang Ba was slightly startled, then nodded subtly.
The Land-Parting Staff seemed to be on the same level as the Wind-Driving Staff, but whether there were similar treasures beyond these two was unknown… and unsure about which Domain they originated from.
But certainly, it had been a long time since even fragments were encased in Chaos Origin Substance, forming a new Realm Embryo.
Regarding the original owner of these treasures, he had some vague speculation in his mind.
At that moment, Chen Xuan and Yu Yu both sensed something, instinctively looking back.
Then Yu Wuheng and Wang Ba, along with the Corpse-digging Ghost King sensed it, turning their heads sequentially.
They saw at the edge of the grassland, white clouds, pavilions, and courtyards drifting with immortal aura…
Antique and charming, even from far away, seemed vivid and clear as if right before their eyes.
Almost as if an immortal pavilion was sitting directly in front of them.
After a moment of shock, Chen Xuan and the Corpse-digging Ghost King reacted, their faces showing astonishment:
“It’s a Mirage!”
“A Mirage?!”
Wang Ba and Yu Wuheng exchanged glances, both seeing the suspicion in each other’s eyes.
Could such a coincidence truly exist in the world? The mirage, dormant for years, suddenly appeared right after they did?
Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?
Wang Ba frowned slightly, pointing at the distant mirage, asking Chen Xuan:
“Your clone’s direction, isn’t it there?”
Chen Xuan quickly shook his head:
“No, it’s the opposite direction, and it feels quite distant.”
Wang Ba sighed with relief upon hearing this:
“That’s good.”
As they spoke, they saw on the grassland before the Sea Market entrance, originally only a few dozen treasure hunters, suddenly, thousands of figures soared into the air from unimaginable places, heading directly towards the mirage.
Even Wang Ba and the others, aware of the dangers here, felt a chill in their hearts witnessing this.
If all those hidden here attacked them just now, they might have turned into ashes in an instant… no, not even ashes would remain.
“This Sea Market is truly perilous, no wonder many are unwilling to enter.”
Wang Ba felt deep seriousness and caution rising in his heart.
Although these treasure hunters belonged to different factions, making collaboration near impossible, the sight still made him uneasy.
He was somewhat surprised; last time, people from Jade Pot Realm managed to carve a blood path among so many treasure hunters, even though they lost two Great Cultivators of the Wen Generation, those who entered the Sea Market were remarkably powerful.
These thoughts flashed through his mind.
Taking a deep breath, he said solemnly:
“Let’s not join in on the excitement.”
Saying this, he flew out first.
Yu Yu and the Corpse-digging Ghost King looked regretfully but had to follow Wang Ba.
While flying, Wang Ba slightly turned his head, querying Chen Xuan:
“Chen, as per your saying, repairing the Treasure Basin of Immortal Essence requires utilizing the rules changing here. What kind of rules can achieve this?”
Although Chen Xuan was keen to rescue his clone, hearing Wang Ba’s question, he calmed down, thoughtfully pondering before replying:
“The rule changes here are like thread lines sorted out, and the damaged Treasure Basin of Immortal Essence is like a torn cloth. To repair it to its original state, it needs identical threads to sew it… What you need to do is find a completely fitting place, leveraging this environment to sew the treasure.”
“Completely fitting?”
Wang Ba felt a weight in his heart.
The rules contained within the Treasure Basin of Immortal Essence were the richest he had ever seen.
It seemed to truly contain a complete Domain.
Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Wind Thunder Ice, Star…
Though individually not complex, combined they formed a semblance of a Domain.
During Wang Ba’s refining process in the past, he gained much and felt it highly fitting with the Dharma Lineage’s attributes.
But repairing it now had become a major issue.
The completely fitting place would naturally be within a Domain.
However, the rules within the Domain are inherently complete, making it impossible to extract them for repairing the Treasure Basin of Immortal Essence.
