A living domain!
And a domain of a lower rank than the Little Cang World.
Upon hearing this news, even Wang Ba couldnât help but feel a hint of excitement!
However, he did not let such joy go to his head.
"Are you sure its rank is lower than yours? Could there be something hidden within?"
Cang Fuziâs voice was full of certainty:
"Impossible, unless they, like us, have extracted all resources into the Taoist Field... but it shouldnât be that coincidental."
These words made Wang Ba somewhat hesitant again.
But in a flash, a decisive look appeared in his eyes, and he quickly made a decision.
"Adax!"
He called out softly.
In the void, a pitch-black Stone Lizard covered in vertical pupils flicked its tongue as its figure gradually emerged.
It moved as if traversing the netherworld, ghostly and mysterious.
Jiang Yi couldnât help but widen her eyes in shock, looking at this Stone Lizard:
"When did it..."
"Itâs always been here."
Wang Baâs expression was calm.
The bloodline of the Thousand-eyed Dark Lizard was even stronger than that of the great Fu.
In the use of illusion techniques, even he could be inadvertently tricked.
Not to mention now with the extremely cunning Han Yanziâs Primordial Spirit attached, their combined abilities in stealth and illusion might not deceive a mid-stage Void Refining Cultivator skilled in Soul techniques like Hui Yunzi Ancestor, but an early-stage Void Refining Cultivator without precaution would likely not see through it at all.
Adax quickly flicked its tail, covered with dense scales, and disappeared back into the void.
Once again, Jiang Yi did not see where it went.
She only saw a slight ripple and a tiny hole forming on the realm membrane outside the Taoist Field.
Soon after, the hole closed again.
Only then did she realize something, and belatedly asked:
"Itâs already gone?"
Wang Ba nodded, then directly instructed Fanming:
"Retreat for now!"
Fanming was puzzled but quickly changed direction and flew a bit further away from that domain.
This time, Jiang Yi understood:
"You want the Spirit Beast to scout the situation first?"
Wang Ba nodded.
His eyes were fixed intently on the direction of that domain.
Across a realm membrane and at a great distance, even he could not see Adaxâs figure.
But if this domain was truly filled with hidden threats, Adaxâs approach would certainly provoke a reaction from the other side.
At the slightest sign of change, he would have Fanming withdraw immediately.
As time passed, everything remained utterly quiet.
Yet, he dared not relax for a moment, saying nothing, and kept his focus sharp.
"Werenât you unwilling to take risks before? Why are you now proactively sending the Spirit Beast to investigate?"
Sensing the heavy atmosphere, Jiang Yi suddenly spoke.
Wang Ba paused in thought, then shook his head and said:
"Unwilling to take risks doesnât mean not taking any risks at all. Since choosing this path, itâs impossible not to take any risks. However, even when taking risks, one must choose those with lower danger and visible benefits."
The Realm Embryo and Extinction Domain we encountered before were completely unclear, their depths unknown.
This domain in front of us might also be a decoy or disguise, but uncovering it isnât difficult.
As long as we ensure safety while probing, unless we are really unlucky and meet expert baiters, there shouldnât be much trouble.
Hearing Wang Baâs reasoning, Jiang Yi nodded thoughtfully.
To be cautious when needed and decisive when necessary, not swayed by greed, acting with neither hesitation nor delay... Itâs no wonder he has come this far.
These things sound simple, but throughout history, how many have consistently managed?
As she mused inwardly.
Wang Baâs eyes suddenly flashed with joy:
"Itâs back."
Jiang Yi quickly looked towards the realm membrane outside the Taoist Field.
Sure enough, she saw a tiny hole appear in the nearby realm membrane and then quickly close again.
Soon, a familiar pitch-black Stone Lizard covered in vertical pupils slowly appeared before the two.
It lowered its head, flicked its tongue, rubbed against Wang Baâs hand, and then silently disappeared.
Quickly, Wang Ba perked up, though his expression was slightly odd:
"Thereâs a group of World Eaters outside that domain."
"World Eaters?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yiâs heart skipped a beat.
She hurriedly asked:
"Whatâs the highest realm?"
The presence of World Eaters means this domain has already entered a decline.
The key is that they can assess this domainâs level by the power levels of the World Eaters.
This would also allow them to infer the cultivatorsâ strength inside the domain.
Wang Baâs tone was complex:
"Mostly Class IV, with only a few Class V individuals."
"So weak?"
Jiang Yi was first a bit taken aback but then couldnât help feeling a bit disappointed.
A highest Class V World Eater implies that this domainâs realm membrane can only bear up to the Class V level.
This kind of domain doesnât even compare to the Little Cang World, let alone the former Wanxiang Sect.
After all, the Wanxiang Sectâs Sect Protection Array was at the Class V level.
In such a domain, even the top cultivators might at most be Divinity Transformation Cultivators. There isnât much danger, but learning about the surrounding domainsâ situation from these people is almost impossible.
They likely have never even left their own domain.
However, she quickly adjusted her mindset:
"That isnât necessarily a bad thing. If they were stronger than us, then we would be the ones who should worry."
