Necessary precautions are still very much needed.
What made Ji Ying and the others frown was that there was no response within this domain, much smaller than the Little Cang World.
Hesitating for a moment, Ji Ying spoke again.
Yet still, there was no response at all.
This situation, on the contrary, made everyone tense up suddenly.
They communicated silently, and their Dao Domains quietly emerged, eyes filled with caution and solemnity.
Ji Ying called out several times to the inside of the realm, yet received no response. Either the cultivators inside were too weak to penetrate the Realm Membrane, or there were other reasons.
Of course, it was also possible that their sudden arrival had made the other party overly nervous, leading to a misunderstanding.
So Ji Ying hesitated for a moment, slowly stepped forward, his earth-yellow Dao Domain enveloping his palm gently pressed on the Realm Membrane, his voice transmitted inside:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we mean no harm..."
Language wasnât the focus; goodwill was what mattered.
However, what made everyone frown was that there was still no movement within the realm.
Ji Ying couldnât help but turn back to look at the Little Cang World.
Inside the Taoist Field.
Wang Ba watched this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, then the Realm Membrane opened a small hole, transmitting a message to Ji Ying.
Receiving Wang Baâs accurate instructions, Ji Ying no longer hesitated and spoke solemnly into the Realm Membrane:
"Forgive the offense!"
With that, the earthen-yellow Dao Domain behind him silently condensed into countless shooting stars, crashing into the Realm Membrane in succession!
Almost at the same time Ji Ying made his move, the other Wanxiang Sect cultivators behind him also acted instantly.
Under a series of bombardments, a not too big nor too small black hole was blasted onto the Realm Membrane.
Seeing this, among the cultivators, a few could not help but frown.
The Divinity Transformation cultivators present now were all from the Jin Three Sects; some prided themselves on the Righteous Path, and seeing Ji Ying boldly strike and blast open the Realm Membrane of another domain, like robbers knocking on a door, naturally felt a bit uncomfortable.
But since Ji Ying and the others had already blasted open the Realm Membrane, they couldnât care about discomfort; they all focused on that hole, Dao Domains appearing, on full alert.
What left them utterly astonished was that, even in such a situation, there was still not a single movement coming from that black hole.
Everyone looked at each other, watching the continuously writhing black hole, no one dared to step down for a moment.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Little Cang World, Wang Ba couldnât help but frown as well.
"Whatâs the situation in this domain..."
Jiang Yi also stared at the hole blasted on the Realm Membrane in confusion and asked:
"Could it be that the people inside the realm didnât notice?"
"Or is it that there are actually no inhabitants inside?"
Just as he was speaking, a black shadow suddenly âwhizzedâ out from the black hole in the Realm Membrane!
This sudden change startled those near the black hole to step back two steps.
Only Ji Ying, standing at the very front, did not lose his composure; instead, his brows knitted, and a large earth-yellow hand swiftly reached out, catching that shadow!
âRoar! Roar! Roar!â
Intense struggle and roaring screams came from the earth-yellow hand.
The cultivators snapped back to their senses, staring at the thing within the earth-yellow hand, revealing expressions of surprise:
"A Spirit Beast?"
"No, it doesnât seem to have any spiritual nature; it looks more like... a Demonic Beast!"
In the distance, within the Little Cang World.
Wang Ba glanced over the object caught by Ji Ying through the Realm Membrane, his brows slightly relaxing, affirming:
"Itâs a Demonic Beast... but only Class IV. It seems you were right; most likely, the cultivators inside the realm didnât notice the commotion."
Jiang Yiâs eyes fell on the creature in the earth-yellow hand, resembling a fox with wings, red-eyed, opening a bloodthirsty maw with no trace of Spiritual Wisdom, she subtly nodded:
"Perhaps the cultivators inside threw it out to test the waters... but this indicates that the cultivators inside shouldnât be very strong."
If she encountered a situation like this, she would throw out the most powerful being possible to test the otherâs strength.
If the cultivators within this domain had the same thought, it would suggest their cultivation levels were similar to her speculation, Class IV, at most Class V.
Ji Ying, standing at the hole in the Realm Membrane, clearly realized this point as well.
With his Dao Domain protecting him, he stepped forward into the hole and spoke solemnly inside:
"Little Cang World cultivator, inadvertently intruding here, may I ask if the owner is present?"
However, what made him frown was that the realm remained completely silent, only vaguely echoing a few roars seeming to come from Demonic Beasts...
Ji Ying raised his head and exchanged glances with the surrounding cultivators, all reading the gravity in each otherâs eyes.
Since Demonic Beasts appeared within this world, it proved that like the Little Cang World, this place also had life.
Unnoticeably nodding, Ji Ying then spoke solemnly:
"Then I shall come in..."
Before he could finish, Ji Ying and several other Wanxiang Sect cultivators descended almost simultaneously!
The Divinity Transformation cultivators from Longevity Sect and Youxian Temple dared not delay either, though some felt slightly uncomfortable inside, they knew the situation was unusual, and they too rushed in immediately.
Inside the Little Cang World, within the Taoist Field.
As Ji Ying and the others entered that domain, Wang Ba subconsciously stepped forward, eyes fixed on the hole.
No matter how indifferent and cold his words might seem, those risking themselves were ultimately his cherished fellow sect members; even though he had Adax hidden for protection, they were still venturing into an unknown domain, and no one could guarantee whether there were fatal dangers inside.
Time slowly ticked by...
Wang Baâs frown deepened increasingly.
"Next time, I must have the Tool-refining Department forge a Magic Tool capable of transmitting sound across the Realm Membrane... or just send Spirit Beasts to explore first..."
Many tools usable within a realm lose their efficacy across a Realm Membrane, much like the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone.
Noticing that inscrutable ripple in Wang Baâs heart, Jiang Yi suddenly spoke:
"Iâll go take a look."
Wang Ba hesitated, just about to nod.
Just then, a figure suddenly flew out from within the Realm Membrane, rapidly heading towards the Little Cang World.
"Itâs Martial Uncle Tang."
Wang Baâs gaze swiftly scanned over Tang Ji, seeing no sign of combat, feeling slightly dubious, but sensing his Soulâs aura showed no change, he immediately had a small hole appear on the Realm Membrane.
Tang Ji swiftly flew in, directly entering the Taoist Field.
Seeing Wang Ba, he wasted no time considering and hurriedly reported:
"Deputy Sect Master, this world is empty!"
"Empty?"
Wang Ba and Jiang Yi exchanged a baffled glance, not immediately understanding what this âemptyâ meant.
"No, no!"
Tang Ji realized his error and quickly shook his head, joy spreading across his face:
"Itâs not empty, this world has land, rivers and seas, plants and Spirit Plants, and Demonic Beasts, even a few Spirit Beasts, but it lacks one particular thing..."
"There are no cultivators here!"
"This is an unclaimed land!"
