Capítulo 2419: Chapter 208: Spreading the Dao (Part 3)

“Thunderfire?” The cultivator was slightly startled, then somewhat surprised: “I haven’t displayed any Dao Law, how can you tell I’m proficient in the Fire Method?”

Wang Ba smiled without answering. At his realm, it would indeed be strange if he couldn’t see through a mere Nascent Soul cultivator’s background.

Xuan Yuanzi’s eyes lit up, and he promptly exclaimed:

“Hurry and thank True Man Taiyi for his guidance!”

Though the cultivator was still somewhat resentful, he made a gesture of respect towards Wang Ba and quickly left with a furrowed brow, seemingly eager to verify whether Wang Ba’s words were correct.

With this beginning, the other cultivators became somewhat curious as well.

No matter whether what this person said was true or not, at least it sounded somewhat plausible, and compared to what Master Xuan spoke of, it seemed less mystical and more feasible.

At this moment, an Unification cultivator couldn’t help but ask:

“Then how should these rules be comprehended?”

Wang Ba glanced at the person, then shook his head slightly:

“You can’t comprehend them.”

“Why?”

The Unification cultivator was taken aback and then asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.

“You are slightly better than the previous one, but only to a limited extent. You understand your path, but your understanding isn’t deep enough. I see your Primordial Spirit is weak, and your Dao Domain is loose and unrefined. If you want to comprehend the rules, first solidify these two aspects.”

Wang Ba took another glance and casually pointed out.

The cultivator’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and his gaze grew more solemn.

Although he didn’t know how the other party could discern his background with just a glance, he vaguely realized his own shortcomings, and his demeanor became more respectful and courteous towards Wang Ba. He made a slight bow to Wang Ba, didn’t linger, and quickly left after speaking with Xuan Yuanzi.

Seeing Wang Ba guide two people in succession, the other cultivators listened attentively, no longer daring to underestimate Wang Ba. Some shrewd cultivators even reflected upon Wang Ba’s pointers to the two, comparing them to their own situations, and came to sudden realizations.

Wang Ba noticed the surrounding cultivators’ gaze held more respect for him, and his heart stirred.

His connection with the Quiet Cave relied entirely on Xuan Yuanzi as an intermediary; if he could provide some pointers to these cultivators now, perhaps it could enhance his relationship with the Quiet Cave.

Thinking this, he suddenly understood, turned to look at Xuan Yuanzi, and happened to see Xuan Yuanzi looking at him with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He transmitted the thought:

“Thank you for your dedication, Wang Ba is grateful.”

Xuan Yuanzi smiled lightly upon hearing this and didn’t say much.

His goodwill was both to repay Wang Ba for helping him escape back then and to plan for the Quiet Cave.

After all, the absence of a true Crossing Tribulation cultivator in this domain seemed to indicate the Master of Quiet Cave’s efforts over the years had yet to yield results. His actions at this moment were indeed reciprocating the Master’s kindness, consistent with his statement of ‘both selfish and selfless motives.’

Wang Ba then proceeded to earnestly guide them one by one.

With his current cultivation base and insight, he could be considered a top-tier figure below Mahayana in the Realm Sea.

Moreover, his knowledge of Dao Law probably had no peer across the entire Realm Sea.

While other cultivators might excel in one category, he was nearly universally skilled, hence regardless of the Dharma these cultivators practiced, he could easily offer guidance.

As he meticulously guided them, the cultivators were profoundly enlightened, with past complex issues now becoming clear.

Among these cultivators were naturally the gifted, but also those quite dull, and Wang Ba, aiming to show goodwill, offered keen insights:

“Your attachment to ‘self’ is too strong, excessively fixated on your past life’s experiences. It prevents you from seeing the current reality clearly. How about this, I will obscure your memory, allowing you to cultivate anew and grasp the true self.”

This Nascent Soul cultivator had been stuck at the point of coagulating Dao Secret for nearly a millennium, and soon his lifespan might end, forcing reincarnation.

Upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, the Nascent Soul cultivator nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing.

Wang Ba’s eyes flashed red, obscured the cultivator’s memories regarding his past life completely.

The cultivator became dazed, eyes blank, but perhaps free from past burdens, his former life forgotten, as he sat down in meditation with renewed brilliance.

Seeing this, Wang Ba casually set up an Array and continued guiding others.

With his current realm, guiding these individuals was like overseeing from above; every word he spoke hit the target.

The cultivators benefited immensely, even though Xuan Yuanzi, unable to elevate himself through cultivation at the moment, listened intently as if enchanted.

Even Ji Hu, the snake-headed, human-bodied being, had unknowingly been drawn by Wang Ba’s teachings, hiding in the mist within the Domain.

At the climax of his talk, Wang Ba simply sat on the ground, becoming engrossed.

From Qi Cultivation, discussing coagulating Dao Secret, all the way to Crossing Tribulation.

He had multiple experiences in delivering sermons, and this preaching was also a comprehensive review of his own cultivation journey, though he didn’t display extraordinary eloquence, the cultivators paid close attention, not wanting to miss even a word.

Until he finally finished speaking, those cultivators still reminisced, unable to extricate themselves…

At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivator whose memory had been obscured and who started cultivating seated directly, suddenly emitted a unique aura.

“It’s Dao Secret!”

“He’s already coagulated Dao Secret so quickly!”

The surrounding cultivators were awakened by the commotion and looked towards him. Gradually, they realized something, and someone couldn’t help but exclaim.

Almost simultaneously with the Dao Secret coagulation, a cluster of cloud flashing with thunder emerged in the sky.

“Immortal Ascension Thunder Tribulation!”

The cultivators were naturally familiar with thunder tribulations, and this Immortal Ascension Thunder Tribulation was not particularly shocking.

What surprised them was that the cultivator, stuck at the coagulating Dao Secret stage for nearly a millennium, managed to breakthrough so effortlessly under Wang Ba’s guidance.

Consequently, their gaze towards Wang Ba became increasingly fervent.

Xuan Yuanzi was also full of admiration, looking at Wang Ba sincerely:

“I initially harbored some doubts about Taoist Friend’s achievements during the Cloud Sky Realm battle; now it’s evidently well-deserved.”

Wang Ba waved off with a smile.

Then, he slightly composed himself:

“Most of the difficulties these cultivators face stem largely from the influence of their past life memories. I think it would be wise for you to establish a Sect, whether called Quiet Cave or something else, where only cultivators who reach a certain level may be awakened to Innate Wisdom; this way, they can overcome excessive influence from their past lives.”

“Additionally, the absence of a Realm Spirit in this Great Realm remains a trouble. Cultivation isn’t merely about meditating, retreating, or Qi cultivation— one must undergo worldly experiences to truly see one’s nature and further progress. Just like back in Little Cang World, despite numerous major sects, small sects were still allowed to emerge due to this reason.”

“With a Realm Spirit present, more beings can appear, aiding cultivation… remember, ‘only when a hundred flowers bloom can spring arrive.'”

“Quiet Cave could either develop small sects internally or outwardly, exchanging with other Domains— closing oneself off, in the end, cannot produce true Great Cultivators. Captive cultivators, how could they possibly reach the pinnacle of the Dao?”

Xuan Yuanzi heard this and responded earnestly:

“I will definitely convey Taoist Friend’s words to the Master of Quiet Cave.”

Wang Ba nodded, then glanced around:

“Moreover, there’s spirit plants and spirit materials; if unavailable, so be it, but possessing these treasures and not utilizing them truly is wasteful.”

Xuan Yuanzi heard and silently noted it down, nodding:

“These I will also report to the Master of Quiet Cave.”

Wang Ba chuckled, opting not to say more, merely reacted upon calculating, realizing he’d been in this Domain for over a year, sensing something odd:

“Wasn’t the Master of Quiet Cave supposed to have me leave in a few days? How come no one’s urged me yet?”

Xuan Yuanzi paused, then laughed:

“Isn’t this a fortunate situation?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba laughed heartily, choosing not to bother further, and continued teaching the Innate Demon Reincarnation bodies within this Domain.

Time quietly ticked away.

In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.

One day, Wang Ba was struck by a thought, extracted a communication Dao Treasure from his sleeve.

His gaze fell upon this treasure, and his expression subtly changed:

“The Supreme True Buddha has arrived?”
