"Greedy?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba exchanged a glance with Zhao Feng and Ling Weizi.
They were all sowhat puzzled.
Firstly, because in this vast Outer Realm, barren as it was, they truly couldn’t fathom what there was to be greedy for.
Secondly, any cultivator who could reach a profound realm likely had a steadfast Dao-heart, even in the Cloud Sky Realm; how could they not resist when they knew there was a problem?
However, Jiang Yi also didn’t know the specific situation. Although there were people in the Cloud Sky Realm who could go to the Outer Realm, it was obviously not sothing a Refining Void Cultivator like her could access.
If she hadn’t been specifically assigned here by the Patriarch, she might not have heard even this much.
"We haven’t lingered long in the Outer Realm, and now isn’t the ti for discussion. Let’s return to that person just now... This person can traverse freely in this void without being affected by the influence of the Little Cang World at all. Even if they are not a Tribulation Crossing Great Ability, they are probably not soone we can handle now."
Ling Weizi analyzed aloud, ultimately concluding:
"Therefore, I think this person is probably not an enemy."
"At least... he shouldn’t consider us enemies."
Both Zhao Feng and Jiang Yi nodded in agreent.
Not being considered an enemy by such an unfathomable person was certainly a relief.
However, such an existence probably wouldn’t regard them importantly either.
Jiang Yi added:
"From what I see, he probably ca here because he found Little Cang World’s situation, burdened by Fan Mingbei, quite rare, thus coming to inspect."
"But seeing us, beings of such low realms, he lost interest and didn’t even bother to greet us."
This was like soone walking along the road, seeing a high mound of dirt piled up by the roadside.
Out of curiosity, they might take a glance.
After seeing it was just children ssing around, they naturally lose interest.
The situation is roughly like this.
At least it sounds reasonable.
Wang Ba also agreed with this speculation.
He really couldn’t think of any other more plausible explanations.
One could say, they were lucky to have encountered a Tribulation Crossing Great Ability wandering the Realm Sea just as they migrated the Little Cang World.
Jiang Yi, with slight regret, said:
"It’s a pity we couldn’t invite this elder to stay. If he gave us so guidance, or even just told us the Divination Map of the Realm Sea, it could save us an unknowable amount of ti."
Hearing this, Ling Weizi remained very calm:
"Even if we did invite him to stay, it’s uncertain whether it would be good or bad. Besides, what do we have that would particularly garner his favor? The vast Realm Sea has countless billions of lives..."
This made sense, and Jiang Yi nodded in agreent. She was rely speaking her mind; being from the Cloud Sky Realm, she knew more than anyone that among those Tribulation Crossing Great Abilities, there were those who were capricious, laughing and chatting with you one mont, only to unleash a magic treasure on you the next.
A crisis disappeared into nothingness, and it ended without alarm, allowing the four of them to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Speaking of which, it’s also a good ti to encourage the various sects to propagate more."
With the atmosphere relaxed, Zhao Feng continued, following Ling Weizi’s previous topic, discussing the overall situation within the Taiyi Dojo.
"Currently, our Wanxiang Sect has about forty-five mbers, including the descendants of non-cultivatable relatives of the sect disciples, which is nearly complete."
"The Longevity Sect, previously extinguished by Han Yanzi, at its peak had as many as six hundred thousand disciples, but alas now only has just over thirty thousand."
"Youxian Temple has even fewer, totaling less than two hundred people in the whole sect."
"As for the rogue cultivators, there are about a hundred thousand, so altogether, there are roughly sixty thousand cultivators. It sounds like a lot but the truly usable number is small. We do not even know how long it will take to relocate to the Cloud Sky Realm. We also need to consider recruiting new disciples and the continuity of the sect."
These words reminded Wang Ba.
He pondered slightly and shook his head, saying:
"Cultivators should go with the flow."
"I will arrange for the Mortal Realm to encourage childbirth and reproduction so that even if the spiritual energy dwindles inside the realm, there will always be good seeds and we can select the best, which will be enough for our sect’s needs."
Selecting the best naturally involves considering an individual’s nature, will, talent, and other factors.
Compared to when Wang Ba himself joined a small sect and was judged mostly by his Spiritual Root, this was significantly more fair, which was one of the few fair things Wang Ba could do.
Of course, this was all incidental.
What he valued more was the population within the realm.
"By the way, I heard that Junior Brother Xi Wushang is expecting a Kirin child, and the due date is approaching?"
Wang Ba suddenly rembered sothing and asked.
Speaking of which, Ling Weizi and Jiang Yi didn’t feel much, each looking towards the outside of the Realm mbrane.
Zhao Feng’s expression was slightly complicated, shaking his head, he said:
"Even Junior Brother knows this... Xi Wushang previously failed to achieve Immortal Ascension, although he gave up in ti without harming the foundation, but he lost his spirit, so he followed his Xi family’s tradition, wishing to leave descendants. However, his Dao companion Qin Fengyi, oh, you know her too, wanted to change the child’s surna to Qin. There were many argunts about this beforehand."
"But this is a family matter, others can’t say much."
Wang Ba nodded, yet he had other thoughts in his mind.
Just about to say more.
Jiang Yi, not too interested, suddenly pointed outside the Realm mbrane and exclaid softly:
"There’s sothing out there!"
Ling Weizi almost simultaneously saw the ’thing’ Jiang Yi pointed to, with an expression of shock:
"It’s approaching!"
Wang Ba and Zhao Feng also almost at the sa ti saw the ’thing’ outside the realm.
It was a black dot at the end of the void, rapidly enlarging.
And soon, in the eyes of the four and Fanming, this black dot expanded into a black river!
Rapidly flying towards their direction!
"What are these?!"
However, there was no need to ask a second ti.
This black river soon rapidly revealed its full form in the shocked eyes of the four:
Ahead were World Eaters with astonishing physiques, even among them several were not smaller than Fanming’s existence!
Due to their large numbers, crowded together, they poured forth like a river.
Seeing these astonishing numbers of World Eaters, Fanming’s eyes were fierce yet carried a deep dread.
It could feel that among these World Eaters, there seed to lurk so even more terrifying danger.
So after weighing, it did not hesitate at all, fluttered its wings, carrying the Little Cang World on its back, deviating slightly from its original direction to avoid this river of World Eaters.
In the surprised eyes of the four in the tea pavilion at the Taoist Field.
Fanming carrying the Little Cang World was about to collide with this river of World Eaters, yet narrowly missed at the crucial mont.
Under the gaze of the four, whose Dao-heart was almost tightened to their throats.
The World Eaters brushed past them like tranquil water, as if hurrying towards sowhere, paying no heed even to the figures passing close by.
And after briefly crossing paths, Fanming didn’t hesitate and imdiately accelerated the flaring of its wings, even if the consumption escalated, the speed was nearly twice as fast as before!
But the river of World Eaters continued to surge forward with the previous speed...
Until a mont when the presence within the river finally awakened, a six-fingered large hand suddenly stretched out from the river.
Clambering onto the bodies of the World Eaters, a huge humanoid silhouette slowly sat up.
Four eyes slowly opened.
Suddenly raised two black nostril cavities, gently sniffed.
A touch of confusion appeared on the handso yet eerie face:
"The scent of a world about to wane..."
"Just now... did I miss a small world?"
It slowly turned back, only to see a black dot quickly disappearing from its sight.
In the four eyes, a flash of confusion, bewildernt, calmness, and contemplative expression.
"How could a domain... run away?"
"But the scent can’t be wrong; this must be a world about to wane."
In the four eyes, at the sa ti flashed a hint of hesitation.
But very quickly flashed a calm, contemplative, enlightened, and clear gaze.
"A world already about to be exhausted surely can’t compare to that world offered as a sacrifice... I’ll finish eating that first, then chase after this... so be it!"
Having made a decision, it uttered a series of incomprehensible sounds to the surrounding World Eaters, then lay back among the surrounding surging World Eaters.
Surrounded by the river of World Eaters, it was again taken towards the predetermined target...
