Chapter 2081: Chapter 99: Where in Life Do We Not et Again
The reason they asked him was to get so information about the Immortal Pass.
He fell silent for a mont, then spoke seriously:
“Indeed, Yan Zhi has been there many tis. Unlike the Wind Sector at the edge of the Immortal Forbidden Land, the Immortal Pass lives up to its na, none but immortals can cross it.”
He didn’t beat around the bush and directly said:
“From afar, it appears as a pitch-black void. Up close, it’s like an endless wall that can’t be shaken by any ans. It’s said that even top-tier cultivators from the Three Realms and Outer Realm joined forces to attack this pass, but achieved nothing.”
“Later, cultivators from various generations attempted to breach it but always returned empty-handed.”
“Gradually, people stopped making futile attempts. Occasionally, soone would leave so markings on the Immortal Pass as evidence of having been there… Hehe, even so top-tier cultivators leave their legacies on the pass. If the Taoist Master is interested, you can have a look, but whether you find them is a matter of luck.”
Wang Ba seed thoughtful.
Based on Yan Zhi’s description, he could only think of ‘rules’ as a possibility.
But why they ford, or if soone intentionally enclosed the area, these remain unanswered mysteries.
And the cultivators throughout history in the Sea of Chaos Realm couldn’t find a way to leave. Although he anticipated this, a shadow crossed Wang Ba’s heart.
“Is there no way but to retrace the path in the Immortal Forbidden Land?”
They inadvertently entered here from outside the Immortal Forbidden Land.
So logically, they should also be able to leave through the Immortal Forbidden Land.
But compared to the Immortal Pass, he was more wary of the Taoist Man in the Immortal Forbidden Land.
“Better head back soon.”
A sense of urgency sprouted in Wang Ba’s heart.
“There are still so shops in the Dao Treasure Workshop, but none can compare to the Treasure Hall. Then there’s the Human Market, and there are a few other shops on the side of the Immortal Cave.”
Yan Zhi was unaware of the change in Wang Ba’s heart, and after speaking about the Immortal Pass, the conversation naturally shifted back to the shops.
Wang Ba snapped back to reality and nodded.
The three, along with Master Zheyang, headed to the Human Market.
“The shops in the Human Market deal with buying and selling cultivators; most of them are ordinary goods. But so of them have valuable skills… ”
Yan Zhi explained as they walked.
Initially, Wang Ba wasn’t very interested, but upon hearing about skilled individuals, he paid attention and curiously asked:
“Where are these people found?”
“Well, there are many sources: captured by treasure hunters, or so sell themselves into slavery due to a lack of resources to support their clans, this is the majority. So co here to avoid disaster after committing offenses within their own factions…”
Although Yan Zhi didn’t personally get involved in these matters, he was well-acquainted with the ins and outs.
Wang Ba nodded, feeling a mix of empathy and sothing else.
Quickly, they arrived at one of Yan Zhi’s shops.
Similar to the shops that Wang Ba previously saw dealing with cultivators, transparent enclosures displayed figures of cultivators.
These were just the ones on display.
Yan Zhi led them directly to the back of the shop.
“So many?”
Entering the backyard, Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel astonished.
The small courtyard was filled with dozens of transparent small rooms stacked together like grids.
The rooms were barely enough for a cultivator to sit cross-legged, extrely cramped.
Their gazes were lifeless, devoid of any vitality.
It was clear that since entering here, these people were already ‘dead.’
The shopkeeper responsible for this shop introduced:
“This batch is from the ‘Stone Poverty Realm’… They were sold by their own factions, too busy lately, haven’t had ti to train them.”
Yan Zhi laughed and looked at Wang Ba:
“Taoist Master, is there anyone you fancy?”
Wang Ba slightly shook his head, his gaze sweeping coldly around, ready to leave.
He wasn’t a saint; he couldn’t stop the trade of cultivators here, but he found it hard to accept this custom, opting not to see it.
However, when his gaze passed over a corner, he suddenly froze.
In that room, a female cultivator was sitting cross-legged, quietly observing outside.
Her face was hideous, like the Outer World Cultivators here.
But her eyes were beautiful, like a clear spring, stunningly exquisite.
Seeing this female cultivator, Wang Ba instantly felt the Primordial Spirit of Daoist Yuanci within him tremble!
He couldn’t help but speak out:
“Taoist Friend, did I see it wrong? Why do I feel she…”
Wang Ba instinctively raised his hand to calculate.
Then he looked up in astonishnt at the female cultivator, filled with disbelief:
“Qin Lingxiao!”
“It’s really her! How could she be here?!”
Not long ago, he was troubled over the unresolved fixation of Daoist Yuanci, never thinking the turning point would so quickly appear before him.
“It’s really her…”
Inside him, Daoist Yuanci murmured, seemingly in absent-mindedness.
Wang Ba communicated within, asking Daoist Yuanci:
“She seems to have reincarnated, but why here? Looking at her, she hasn’t awakened her Innate Wisdom yet. Let enlighten her, so you can et.”
But to his surprise, Daoist Yuanci, after a brief silence, calmly refused Wang Ba’s suggestion:
“No need, knowing her True Spirit remains is enough for .”
Wang Ba hesitated:
“But don’t you…”
“Cultivating Heart… At this point, it’s ti to let go. Taoist Friend, my obsession, yet isn’t it yours? My cage, isn’t it also yours?”
“A clear tune, a full cup of wine, where in life do we not et again? Taoist Friend, it’s ti to release.”
Wang Ba froze slightly, wanting to say sothing but not knowing where to start.
He only heard Daoist Yuanci’s voice in his mind dissipate like the wind.
This unchains the last bit of Daoist Yuanci’s fixation, without waves, without surprises, finally letting go.
No beginning, no end.
And the final obstruction keeping Daoist Yuanci from rging also quietly lted away at this mont.
Nothing changed.
Yet in Wang Ba’s Primordial Spirit, within the Dao Domain, everything began to transform dramatically!
