Chapter 1350 - 1350 27 Head to West Sea_4

Chapter 1350: Chapter 27 Head to West Sea_4 Chapter 1350: Chapter 27 Head to West Sea_4 “Xiang Sirui of Youxian Temple has met Vice Sect Master Wang.”

Rui Chunqiu and Hao Changsheng also slightly bowed, paying their respects to the young cultivator.

Yet, the man in the Dragon Robe from the Qin Family, Qin Shengyong, looked at the young cultivator with a complex expression and slightly stiff gestures as he extended his hand in greeting.

The young cultivator was none other than Wang Ba.

Seeing such grand gestures of respect from everyone, he too was momentarily taken aback and responded with greetings in turn:

“You all flatter me too much.

Thank you for coming from afar, please take a seat.”

After exchanging pleasantries, under Wang Ba’s lead, everyone took their seats.

The disciples served tea again.

As soon as they sat down, Xiang Sirui couldn’t help but speak up, his tone filled with gratitude:

“I’ve always wanted to visit Master Wang to thank him for saving my teacher from the clutches of the Evil Gods in Sen State back in the day, but fate denied us a meeting until today.”

Wang Ba was slightly stunned.

...

He did not recall saving any cultivator from Youxian Temple, but that didn’t stop him from brushing it off:

“Where, where, your respected teacher must have his own blessings from heaven, haha, how is he now?”

Xiang Sirui’s face revealed a bittersweet smile:

“During the battle with the Evil God, my teacher’s fundamental essence was injured beyond recovery, and he passed away a few years ago after achieving Metamorphosis.”

Wang Ba, upon hearing this, paused in shock and then couldn’t help but sigh:

“What a pity.”

The atmosphere around them suddenly became much heavier.

Everyone couldn’t help but recall the great catastrophe from over eighty years ago, the lost fellows, the elders.

All present were Nascent Soul cultivators, for whom the events of eighty years ago felt as though they had just happened the previous day.

Truly unforgettable.

Ma Shengxu, noticing the heavy atmosphere, quickly changed the subject:

“Everyone, let’s see who will be the champion of the Golden Core Contest and make a small bet, shall we?”

“The winner will take all the bets we place, but let’s agree, only small stakes, just a token.”

“Haha, Hall Master Ma sure knows how to play his cards right, no matter who wins, we still have to pay up,” Rui Chunqiu laughed.

“A small bet is a small matter, being accurate in judgment is the key,” Ma Shengxu laughed and replied.

Everyone’s attention indeed shifted, and they started sizing up the cultivators participating in the Golden Core Contest, many already forming their opinions.

Hao Changsheng of the Longevity Sect spoke first:

“I bet on Xie Rushui of Chunyuan Peak.”

The man in the Dragon Robe of the Qin Family, Qin Shengyong, thought for a moment and chose his favorite:

“The Sword Cultivator from Xinjian Peak is formidable; I bet on Wang Yi’an of Xinjian Peak.”

“I choose Chai Wuyun of Shehun Peak…”

Xiang Sirui looked around and quickly made his choice:

“I’ll pick Wang Qingyang of Wanfa Peak.”

Seeing that Wang Ba had not placed a bet, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Why doesn’t Master Wang make a bet?”

Wang Ba heard this and lightly laughed:

“My disciples and progeny are participating in it, I will abstain from betting, to avoid any bias.”

Then his smile faded, his expression became somewhat stern, and he finally cut to the main topic:

“The catastrophe of Yuanci in West Sea Country, how does everyone plan to address it?”

Hearing Wang Ba’s words, everyone’s expression turned serious.

Their trip to Wanxiang Sect, while coinciding with the Dao-asking Conference, bore a more crucial purpose—to resolve the disaster of the Yuanci in West Sea Country.

Now, Rui Chunqiu spoke gravely:

“We need not elaborate on the situation in West Sea Country.

The power of Yuanci is spreading unchecked, nearly half of the coastal area of West Sea Country is suppressed by Yuanci, hampering the Five Element Spiritual Energy.

Family Master Qin should be more aware that the Spiritual Lineages bordering West Sea Country in Jin are also polluted by the power of Yuanci, turning them into abandoned Spiritual Lineages.”

“If this trend continues, one day, this power of Yuanci will spread into Jin.

The current problem is how to curb this increasingly widespread power of Yuanci, perhaps even eradicate it.”

“The Sect Master previously sent people to try finding and sealing the source of Yuanci, the Membrane Eye, but achieved little.

The Yuanci power that dispersed onto the shore is also difficult to eliminate.”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Sirui couldn’t help but ask:

“Is it possible to absorb all this power of Yuanci with a special magic treasure?”

Rui Chunqiu shook his head:

“We’ve checked the sect’s records; these special magic treasures require equally special raw materials, which are now very hard to find in Fenglin Continent.”

“However, in Zhongsheng Continent far from our Fenglin Continent, due to its unique environment, there might still be some reserves left…

but that’s just treating the symptoms, not the cause.

As long as the Membrane Eye is not sealed, the power of Yuanci will always be there.”

Xiang Sirui couldn’t help but frown:

“Zhongsheng Continent…

I heard it’s indeed very far, and the sea areas in between often cause obstacles; cultivators easily lose their way.

Occasionally, people from Zhongsheng Continent come to Jin, but few from Fenglin Continent go there.

I’ve heard that the areas near Zhongsheng Continent are surrounded by the power of Yuanci—perhaps Zhongsheng Continent might have a solution to the disaster of Yuanci.”

Wang Ba, upon hearing this, his mind slightly stirred, spoke up:

“If cultivators were to use cultivation methods related to Yuanci to draw out this power, could that solve the issue?”

The man in the Dragon Robe, Qin Shengyong, having been silent until now, slightly shook his head:

“What Master Wang suggests, we have already tried.

Lingxiao…

my daughter once went into the sea to try, but the power of Yuanci above the sea is already overwhelmingly dense.

Even though she cultivates the path of Yuanci, using all her strength, she could barely make a dent, and if she went deeper, it was even impossible to stir the power within.”

Hearing Qin Shengyong’s words, Wang Ba was surprised and involuntarily took a closer look at him.
