CapĂtulo 2460: Chapter 222: Divine Empowerment (Part 2)
The situation of the Realm Sea especially has predestined that thereâs likely no truly carefree and pure place in this world.
He couldnât help but sigh:
âIf someone is to be extremely joyful and carefree, it means someone else is destined to suffer, how can worries ever be dispelled? This is probably a realm that can never be reached.â
Heavenly Monarch Chao also nodded, but then a smile appeared on his face, as he gazed up at the Sky Dome, seemingly piercing through the Realm Membrane, looking at the deepest part of the Third Realm Sea, he exclaimed excitedly:
âBut if I remain here, Iâll ultimately miss witnessing the splendor of the higher places. Iâd rather journey to the Second Realm Sea to venture, rather than stay here watching this unsurprising world. Taking to the road is always better than not moving forward.â
His words remained full of heroism and ambition.
Wang Ba heard this and fell into slight silence.
It wasnât that he didnât recognize the otherâs words, but rather a rare confusion arose in his heart.
For him, it actually didnât matter where he would go. To be honest, if he could stay near Duanhai Cliff and enjoy limitless Chaos Origin Substance, he would be willing to, even if he couldnât achieve Cultivation Ascension, staying here wouldnât be a problem.
So when he heard Heavenly Monarch Chaoâs words, he couldnât help but think, if one day the issue of the Little Cang Worldâs whereabouts was finally resolved, how should he deal with himself?
Cultivation Ascension, orâŠ
He wasnât sure and felt a bit confused.
This confusion didnât last long.
Soon, Xin Yuan arranged for them to rest in the immortal cave.
Wang Ba and Heavenly Monarch Chao did not refuse, and followed Xin Yuan to find an immortal cave at the foot of Sumeru and rested casually, of course, mostly waiting for Buddha Tianyinâs message.
Xin Yuan didnât leave immediately either, but looked at Wang Ba, with hesitation, worry, and expectation, finally couldnât help but ask:
âLittle Friend Wang, dare I ask, how is the inheritance of Xituo Continent within the Little Cang World now?â
Upon hearing the otherâs inquiry, Wang Ba was slightly startled, then a smile appeared on his face:
âI forgot to mention.â
âWhat Senior Xin Yuan is asking should be the Wheel-turning Temple of Xituo Continent, right? Rest assured, Senior, the inheritance of the Wheel-turning Temple is well within the Little Cang World, though not flourishing, it is stable.â
Saying this, he then briefly recounted the changes within the Little Cang World after Xin Yuanâs Nirvana.
When hearing that his reincarnated descendant turned out to be such an ape like Wu Monkey King, Xin Yuan was not surprised, instead, hearing the various experiences of Little Cang World under Wang Baâs management brought a few expressions of astonishment.
âSo after my Nirvana, Little Friend Wang encountered so many things.â
Xin Yuan admired:
âAfter great catastrophes, there must be people of great courage and great opportunities, thank you Little Friend Wang for maintaining the inheritance of Xituo Continent, so that Xin Yuan is not ashamed to his predecessors.â
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba seriously bowed to the other and said:
âSeniorâs help to me is hard to express, without Senior, I fear I wouldnât have achieved my current accomplishments, please accept my respects from a junior!â
When Xin Yuan heard this, he only remarked on Wang Baâs modest personality, hurriedly declined, and repeatedly said it wasnât necessary.
Wang Ba saw this and didnât insist further.
He was not speaking empty words, his cultivation of Dharma Dao, if all went smoothly, mastering various rules was bound to happen sooner or later.
But if it werenât for Xin Yuan bonding with the world from the start, opening the door to the Rule World for him, it might have taken untold time and missteps to reach todayâs level.
Precisely because from the start he witnessed the wonders of the Rule World, so his path of cultivation was smooth, building a solid foundation for him to wield power under Mahayana.
Thus, this thanksgiving was by no means polite.
Even if Xin Yuan himself might not have fully grasped the rules within Little Cang World.
Thinking of this, Wang Ba flicked his sleeve, and a figure of an ape descended.
When Xin Yuan saw this, sensing the familiar Buddhist aura from the other, he was first surprised, then grew happy, inspecting closely and getting increasingly pleased:
âTruly naturally born Buddha nature!â
Wu Monkey King scratched his armpit, feeling rather unfamiliar with this mentor, but under Wang Baâs prompting, still bowed to Xin Yuan.
When Xin Yuan saw this, he didnât blame but smiled and nodded, then patted his own sleeve, showing some embarrassment, sighed:
âI have nothing to give you, your realm is already above mine, simply relying on my Dharma is obviously difficult to reach such a realm quickly, it must be from Little Friend Wangâs dedication, I as a teacher indeed feel guilty.â
Hearing this, Wu Monkey King hesitated for a moment, then bowed again to Xin Yuan and somewhat awkwardly said:
âThank you, Master.â
Upon hearing this, Xin Yuan felt greatly comforted, nodded, and then didnât linger, took his leave.
Wang Ba did not insist on holding him back either, at this crucial moment, he was not in the mood.
Thus within the immortal cave, he engaged in a mutual exchange on the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled Path with Heavenly Monarch Chao.
Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled isnât just a technique for Beast Control, it is also a method for cultivating rules, and Wang Ba himself is proficient in Dao of Dharmas, making him excel in cultivating the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled Technique.
Conversing with Heavenly Monarch Chao, he showed no apprehension, responded fluidly, without any hindrance, occasionally uttered astonishing words, instead prompting Heavenly Monarch Chao to reflect and continually gather insights.
Time quietly passed this way, a few days later, in the midst of their exchange of insights, the two abruptly ceased, sensing something, stepped out of the immortal cave together.
Instinctively, they looked towards the top of Sumeru, Miaojue Temple.
Yet they saw the temple gates finally open, rows of monks slowly walked out with sorrowful expressionsâŠ
Inside the temple, the Buddhaâs voice was grand and low, suffused with a feeling of compassion.
Wang Ba heard clearly the language of the Rebirth Mantra in the Buddhaâs voiceâŠ
A monk flew out from the temple, landing before Wang Ba and Heavenly Monarch Chao, appeared haggard, precisely the chief of the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm, Yan Poluo.
At this moment, he descended, raised his palm in greeting to them, meticulous, said solemnly:
âKong Zen Buddha Lord has already received Buddha Tianyinâs transfusion, still in Closed Cultivation, unable to attend to you two, thus before closing, he specifically sent Yan Poluo to express apologies to you twoâŠâ
Heavenly Monarch Chao heard this, sighed lightly, nodded:
âSuddenly facing great change, it can be understood, let him rest assured, knowing Tianyinâs news, I wonât stay any longer, should there be needs, the four Great Realms are closely connected, as long as I am here, feel free to speak.â
Yan Poluo squeezed out a slight smile of gratitude on his somewhat grief-stricken face, appearing more bitter, bowed to Heavenly Monarch Chao:
âThank you, Heavenly Monarch, once Kong Zen Buddha Lord emerges, I would ask Heavenly Monarch to join the grand ceremony, witnessing the Buddha Lordâs succession.â
Then turned to Wang Ba:
âKong Zen Buddha Lord specifically tasked me to invite True Man Taiyi.â
Wang Ba nodded at the words:
âCertainly, just wondering when it will be held?â
Yan Poluo hesitated:
âDepends on Kong Zen Buddha Lord, perhaps a few decades, or maybe a hundred yearsâŠâ
Wang Ba was assured, did not further ask.
At once, he also proposed parting.
Yan Poluo lingered in two sentences, did not insist further.
Now that Buddha Tianyin has passed away, and Kong Zen Buddha Lord hasnât fully absorbed Buddha Tianyinâs legacy, with a large Mahayana and late-stage tribulation cultivator remaining from another Domain, even knowing the close relations among the four Great Realms, he couldnât afford to gamble on this.
Thus the two intended to fly towards the outside of the Domain.
Yet both couldnât help but pause in their steps, looking up.
They saw above Miaojue Temple, on top of Sumeru, endless red cloudsâŠ
Vague figures seemed almost present.
Heavenly Monarch Chaoâs heart surged with an inexplicable feeling, couldnât help but softly chant:
âComing leaves no trace, going leaves no mark, things of going and coming are one. No need to ask about mortal matters, this life merely in a dream.â
Saying this, the white robe fluttered, he tread a song and left.
âNo need to ask about mortal matters, this life merely in a dreamâŠâ
Wang Ba muttered this poem, sighed lightly, and followed.
Leaving Yan Poluo alone to stare at the sky full of red clouds, lost in thoughtâŠ
