CapĂtulo 2267: Chapter 57: Lost Souls
âIf it hadnât been for the Evil Monks of the Supreme True Buddha sealing off the surroundings of the Cloud Sky Realm, we wouldnât have ended up in this unfortunate placeâŠâ
Over a dozen figures stood in the void, gazing into the distance at the rolling âblack wavesâ, rubble, and many indefinable, mysterious, dusky, and tranquil areas of the Realm Sea that resembled deep swamps.
At first glance, it looked like a deep sea, yet also akin to an endless ancient swamp forest.
Even if they hadnât personally entered, the sharp Spiritual Sense of the Tribulation-Transcending Realm cultivators already allowed them to sense the hidden danger here.
âIs this the Soul Falling?â
âAre there really many Realm Sea whirlpools?â
Wang Ba stood among the crowd, observing the area ahead that was even darker than its surroundings, feeling a bit more anticipation in his heart.
âEveryone, be cautious later; this Soul Falling is a natural danger zone within the Realm Sea, with unpredictable rules and lurking threats. Dao Domain, Magic Tools, and Dao Treasures are greatly affected here and cannot function normally, hence no one dares to venture in lightly. But now, to aid the Cloud Sky Realm, we have no choice but to take this route.â
The leading middle-stage Tribulation-Transcending Realm cultivator, the middle-aged male cultivator âTrue Man Baâ, slightly turned around, looking at the crowd with a solemn expression and continued:
âEveryone here is a fellow supporter of the Cloud Sky Realm, so Iâll speak frankly.â
âTaoist Friend Nie and I are the only two middle-stage Tribulation-Transcending Realm cultivators here. We dare not underestimate ourselves, so itâs time for us to step up. Taoist Friend Nie and I will protect everyone from the front and the back until we find the Realm Sea whirlpool leading near the Cloud Sky Realm to leave this place.â
âBut let me say this in advance; this path is perilous. If any Taoist Friend doesnât heed instructions, acts arbitrarily, and causes difficulties for the rest, I will not show mercy! You all ought to know my temperament.â
His voice wasnât loud, but his words were harsh and cold, causing some other cultivators to frown slightly.
They and True Man Ba werenât from the same Domain and were Tribulation-Transcending Realm cultivators, often revered in their realms, rarely treated disrespectfully.
Nonetheless, he was one of the only two middle-stage Tribulation-Transcending Realm cultivators here, and this mission indeed relied on him, so no one truly questioned him at this moment.
Seeing everyone nodding silently, True Man Ba turned to the female cultivator beside him, with more of a smile and said:
âTrue Man Nie, do you have anything to add?â
The female cultivator wasnât extremely beautiful, but she had a gentle temperament, wearing a pale yellow robe, and replied softly:
âTrue Man Ba has thought everything through, I have nothing to add, all will follow True Man Baâs arrangements.â
True Man Ba nodded with a smile:
âThen Iâll lead the way, Taoist Friend can oversee from the rear.â
The female cultivator with the surname Nie nodded slightly.
Didnât say much more.
True Man Ba didnât mind this.
He then turned his gaze toward the other cultivators, his expression slightly darkened, and coldly said:
âEveryone, stay close! If you accidentally wander into danger, I canât save you!â
With that, he waved his sleeve, withdrew the Flying Dao Treasure, and rapidly headed toward the distant âSoul Fallingâ.
The rest exchanged glances, though displeased, they didnât want to cause trouble at this time. They suppressed their emotions and quickly followed True Man Baâs figure.
Wang Ba didnât mind True Man Baâs attitude, instead, he was secretly comparing the Yin Family map locations of Soul Falling and Cloud Sky Realm.
On the map, the distance between the two wasnât far. If he fully utilized the Wind-Driving Staff to fly, he might reach it in about a month.
Of course, the Yin Family map may not be accurate, potentially containing significant errors.
At this moment, several cultivators threw out Magic Tools and Talismans before entering Soul Falling.
A cultivator standing next to Wang Ba, wearing a large earring with blue patterns on his face, also took something from his sleeve and threw it out.
Seeing Wang Baâs curiosity, the patterned cultivator kindly advised:
âSoul Falling is extremely dangerous inside; itâs wise to prepare early, in case others canât, you can save yourself⊠Taoist Friend Taiyi, you better hurry.â
âThank you for the advice, Taoist Friend Guang, indeed some precautions are necessary.â
Wang Ba contemplated for a moment, took out a Token, pressing lightly on it, causing a complex Divine Pattern to flash across.
He cast it outside Soul Falling, and the Token silently vanished.
Learning from the lesson of the Divine Corpseâs six-finger disappearance, he made some improvements to the Divine Pattern to ensure it could be sensed even from a great distance.
After completing this, he followed the group, flying into that dim and mysterious âdeep swampâ.
As soon as he entered, he felt the surroundings darken instantly, making everything appear blurry.
His heart immediately tensed!
Tribulation-Transcending Realm cultivators can easily see clearly even in dark places, yet this area made it difficult for them to see, proving True Man Hanqing and True Man Baâs words werenât false.
âThis placeâs rules are indeed very different from the Realm Sea.â
His gaze instinctively swept the surroundings, the darkness like the tide in a deep sea surged.
He sensed the surrounding rules, indeed feeling the rules here were vast yet chaotic, like a beginner artistâs random scrawling, with no semblance of order.
Not to mention Dao Domain or Dao Treasure, even the rules heâs adept with, under the influence of these grand chaotic rules, would be extremely difficult to utilize.
