Capítulo 2120: Chapter 113: Alliance (2)
Even without the Divine Corpse, they were confident they could breach the Holy Desecration Realm.
Yet the thin old man remained calm, glanced at Wang Ba, then surreptitiously scanned the area around Wang Ba, stayed silent for a mont, and finally spoke slowly:
“The Jade Pot Realm is here only because we heard of the mysterious disappearance of several forces, worrying that the sa fate would befall the comrades of the Holy Desecration Realm, we ca to assist. Now that Taoist Friend Taiyi is here to protect, it seems unnecessary… ”
He paused slightly, and then, under the astonished gaze of the cultivators from the Jade Pot Realm, he said in a deep voice:
“Everyone, return to the Jade Pot Realm!”
After a brief silence.
“Master! You can’t!”
“Teacher!”
A middle-aged cultivator, seemingly a disciple of Master Changying, couldn’t help but speak anxiously:
“Teacher, the opportunity to unite the Three Realms is right in front of us, Gan Xiong is also seriously injured, they are not our match, teacher…”
Faced with everyone’s doubts, the thin old man remained indifferent, looking directly at Wang Ba, and said calmly, word by word:
“Everyone, return to the Jade Pot Realm.”
Though not loud, the previously doubtful cultivators of the Jade Pot Realm all fell silent, despite their reluctance and unwillingness. The leading cultivators still gritted their teeth and complied.
Master Changying made a decision so quickly that even if Wang Ba intended to facilitate it, he was sowhat surprised.
However, upon hearing this, he did not cease his actions but instead t the thin old man’s gaze and said with a faint smile:
“Did the Jade Pot Realm co from thousands of miles away, only to leave so soon? Won’t you stay for so tea?”
Yet he reversed roles, taking the initiative to challenge.
Though alone, he gave the impression of having an entire domain standing behind him.
Gan Xiong, hearing this, did not intervene to obstruct, but instead stepped forward in concert with Wang Ba’s challenge, reinforcing Wang Ba’s position.
Even though he had been injured earlier, his insight was intact, and he naturally saw through the intricacies.
At this mont, not a shred of fear could be shown.
The thin old man’s response caused Gan Xiong to be slightly taken aback.
He looked at Wang Ba, and surprisingly, his face showed a trace of appreciation, praising:
“I previously thought Taoist Friend Taiyi was just soone with good fortune, but today I see you are far from ordinary. Since you have the ambition to swallow the Realm Sea, why do you dwell here? Why not join in uniting the Sea of Chaos Realm and sharing the tribute from all sides?”
Wang Ba was slightly stunned.
Then he reacted, chuckling lightly:
“Different paths shouldn’t plan together. Master Changying’s path is different from mine, so why force it?”
“Different paths?”
The thin old man repeated these words, but laughed heartily:
“Not so, not so.”
He looked at Wang Ba, as if seeing through sothing, and there seed to be a hidden aning in his gaze:
“Since you entered this cage, your path and mine are the sa.”
Wang Ba was slightly stunned, montarily confused.
But before he could inquire, the thin old man waved his sleeve and flew into the large ship.
His expression was calm, not showing the slightest bit of discouragent from the failed expedition.
The cultivators from the Jade Pot Realm glared at Wang Ba and the cultivators of the Holy Desecration Realm, then also followed suit, flying into the large ships one after another.
Monts later, dozens of large ships slowly sailed away, flying deeper into the void.
Only the cultivators of the Holy Desecration Realm remained, staring at the vast, empty void, feeling as if they were in a dream.
Gan Xiong watched the receding large ships with a complicated expression, the black dots lingering in his vision. Even though he had cultivated for many years and few things could stir him, his heart was still filled with unspeakable emotions.
The Double Body Realm has likely already been subdued by Changying, the configuration of the Three Realms, no, of the entire Sea of Chaos Realm, may undergo the greatest upheaval of countless years starting today.
But more crucially, Master Changying, who in his eyes was always a deceitful junior of the sa stage of cultivation, seed to have never been truly recognized by him, nor did he ever truly understand what the other truly pursued.
Until now, he vaguely realized that this person may have already walked far ahead of him… onto a path he had never imagined.
He sighed softly.
Then he looked at Wang Ba beside him, and said sincerely:
“This ti, thank you, Taoist Friend Taiyi, for your righteous assistance.”
Wang Ba withdrew his distant gaze, and upon hearing this, he let out a rare bitter laugh:
“Taoist Friend Gan, you’re joking. I too was just acting in self-defense.”
Inside his sleeve, a red glow flickered, and the talisman disguised with Yin God Power disappeared without a trace.
The heart felt a slight twinge of pain.
These two God Suppressing Talismans were treasures ant to be kept in the bottom of the box, yet they were wasted on the Divine Corpse Big Yellow. If he hadn’t just used the Yin God power to disguise the talisman’s appearance and aura, deceiving the others, the confrontation might have already begun.
Of course, he was well aware that the God Suppressing Talisman was crucial, but not overwhelmingly so.
In his view, it was primarily his deanor and attitude, which left Master Changying unsure of his capabilities, that finally made him retreat.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but wonder:
“Why was the Overturning Water Staff able to give birth to the Divine Corpse? What’s the reason?”
The Wind-Driving Staff can command the rules, and the Land-Parting Staff is unaffected by them, so what exactly is the effect of the Overturning Water Staff?
But these questions had no imdiate answers, so he decided to set them aside for now, and turned to Taoist Friend Gan:
“Although the Jade Pot Realm retreated this ti, they will likely return. When that happens, do you have any strategies, Taoist Friend Gan?”
Upon hearing this, Gan Xiong, though wanting to display courage, could only sigh at the thought that if the Jade Pot Realm truly subdued the Double Body Realm, it would grow unimaginably large, and said with resignation:
“We’ll just et soldiers with soldiers, cover water with earth. Do you have a solution, Taoist Friend Taiyi?”
Before Master Changying ca, he had kept a certain distance with Wang Ba, but after this ordeal, he felt closer to Wang Ba.
Wang Ba, known for reciprocating kindness, was shown goodwill by Gan Xiong from the start, and he wouldn’t let that go to waste. After careful consideration, he said:
“Ashad to admit, my modest intelligence has only led to three strategies.”
“Three, three strategies?”
Gan Xiong was a little surprised, his grayed hair unable to mask the astonished look on his face.
He quickly responded:
“Please, Taoist Friend, share your insights.”
Wang Ba humbly said, and then continued:
“The best strategy is to announce to all the forces in the Sea of Chaos Realm imdiately after they take down the Double Body Realm, while they’re still unstable, exposing the ambitions of the Jade Pot Realm. Then, using your reputation and strength, the Holy Desecration Realm can unite forces to attack the Jade Pot Realm, and if successful, the foundation of the Three Realms would return entirely to the Holy Desecration Realm. Even if unsuccessful, dividing territories can prevent being taken down one by one.”
Gan Xiong was montarily stunned but then his eyes lit up.
He, being mature, had never encountered such a situation before, so when the ti ca, he found himself at a loss.
Wang Ba, though from the Little Cang World, was well-versed in the obvious and hidden strife, alliances, and intrigue between forces, allowing him to co up with solutions quickly.
Upon hearing Wang Ba’s “best strategy,” the more Gan Xiong thought about it, the more feasible it seed.
However, recalling the Divine Corpse Big Yellow and how he almost lost his life to it, he ca back to reality.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said:
“If it weren’t for Taoist Friend Taiyi, I would have died at the hands of the Divine Corpse. Though this strategy isn’t bad, it requires soone who can handle the Divine Corpse.”
“What are the middle and lower strategies, Taoist Friend?”
Wang Ba, hearing this, couldn’t tell if he was disappointed or otherwise, nodded, and said:
“The middle strategy is to flee, taking the Holy Desecration Realm far from the conflicts of the Sea of Chaos Realm, but ultimately, when the Jade Pot Realm unifies the entire Sea of Chaos Realm, confrontation is inevitable.”
Gan Xiong agreed and nodded:
“Fleeing is definitely not an option either.”
“The lower strategy… I know, is it staying here, defending the place?”
Wang Ba hesitated for a mont, shook his head slightly, and said:
“No, it’s forming an alliance.”
“An alliance?”
Gan Xiong was a bit puzzled:
“With whom…”
Midway through speaking, he suddenly realized sothing, looked at Wang Ba, his eyes glead:
“With the Primitive Demon Mountain?”
Wang Ba nodded:
“The Primitive Demon Mountain resides in the Sea of Chaos Realm, and like the Holy Desecration Realm, it can’t escape. Therefore, collaboration between us against the Jade Pot Realm would be mutually beneficial.”
Gan Xiong pondered for a mont, then nodded:
“That is indeed the most suitable option…”
At this mont, he suddenly rembered sothing, smacked his head, and said:
“I almost forgot, about inviting the Taoist friend to the Immortal Mansion before…”
He looked at Wang Ba, earnestly said:
“Would you, Taoist Friend, be willing to take a look inside the realm?”
