"Greetings to this Taoist Brother."
"I am Taiyi, rely an outsider, unrelated to the Supre True Buddha. Earlier, those individuals were seeking to convert soone who encountered the Supre True Buddha. By a twist of fate, I intervened to rescue them, but did not expect to cause a misunderstanding among you all..."
At this mont, watching the scene unfold, Deng Yingjue's face froze in disbelief:
"He, didn't he say he was a Seventh Tier?! But what Seventh Tier Dao Domain can withstand Yin Ninth Ancestor?"
"Yin Ninth Ancestor is a Crossing Tribulation Cultivator!"
"Could it be, could it be he is also..."
Not just him, the black-faced cultivator leading the group, as well as the surrounding cultivators forming a formation, felt a shock in their hearts.
However, the middle-aged man in dark yellow attire stared at Wang Ba, interrupting directly:
"Are you truly at late-stage Unification?"
Wang Ba was slightly taken aback, not expecting the other to be concerned with this issue at this mont, and was about to explain.
The middle-aged man in dark yellow attire seed eager to know the answer, saying swiftly:
"It's fine, I'll try myself!"
Wang Ba raised an eyebrow.
Suddenly, the Dao Domain above seed to gain sothing; the originally solid Dao Domain instantly had a backbone, focusing its force like a solid iron blade, ready to cleave down toward the Yellow Dao Domain below!
However, the other seed to hold back; this 'blade' used not its 'edge', but its back!
The Yellow Dao Domain, originally able to hold its own against this white Eighth Tier Dao Domain, was almost instantly sliced down by this broad 'back'!
About to collapse in a re instant!
It was an overwhelming advantage, unlike the previous confrontation!
"Rules..."
Wang Ba's gaze was sharp, imdiately detecting the subtlety.
But he also noticed a difference.
"His rules are not particularly ingenious, even sowhat crude... but they perfectly integrate with his Eighth Tier Dao Domain, displaying effects far surpassing that of a single Dao Domain or rule."
"It seems we took the wrong path earlier."
Combining Dao Domain and rules was also what he attempted after mastering the rules.
Previously in the Sea of Chaos Realm, Qiao Zhongxu and other Wonderful Feeling Realm practitioners had also applied this.
However, their application was clearly much cruder, and the combined might was only slightly better than nothing.
He previously thought this was the norm, and thus did not research further.
But only now did he realize that a perfect combination of the two could yield such astonishing effects.
"No... to truly perfectly bear the rules, perhaps a re Seventh Tier Dao Domain is insufficient... Eighth Tier is just the beginning."
So it wasn't that they took the wrong path before, but that a Seventh Tier Dao Domain simply couldn't perfectly match the rules; only Crossing Tribulation Cultivators could truly achieve this.
This understanding arose unbidden in his heart.
Seeing the white Eighth Tier Dao Domain disperse the Yellow Dao Domain, advancing straight toward him with no sign of stopping.
Wang Ba's eyes flickered slightly.
"In that case..."
He then raised his hand, retracting the Yellow Dao Domain silently, slightly turning before releasing it again.
In the next mont, the many rules he had comprehended over these days silently rged into it!
Though the rules and Dao Domain did not converge, he didn't mind.
Under his control, it seed like a 'large hand' reaching to grab the 'blade'!
The Yellow Dao Domain swiftly rushed toward the white Eighth Tier Dao Domain!
"How bold!"
The middle-aged man in dark yellow attire couldn't help but show surprise, though he said this, his eyes revealed a hint of astonishnt and anticipation.
The next mont.
The 'blade' and 'hand' collided mid-air!
Light burst forth!
Thunderous silence ensued.
When everyone looked up.
They saw the Yellow Dao Domain was nearly in shambles.
However, the white Eighth Tier Dao Domain above had also lost seventy percent of its entirety, leaving only a small part, after a slight pause, transforming into a stream of light, entering the middle-aged man above.
"Ninth Ancestor has won!"
"Wonderful!"
After a brief silence and bewildernt, the cultivators below erupted into cheers.
Deng Yingjue and the cultivators of the Green Flood Dragon Realm found themselves montarily at a loss.
Standing alone, Wang Ba, after retracting his Dao Domain, furrowed his brow and his eyes revealed contemplation.
Yet, the middle-aged man paid no mind to the cheers of the cultivators below, with a serious expression he flew down in front of Wang Ba, assessed him again, then slightly raised his hand and sincerely said:
"Taoist Friend Taiyi, you have great skill, this ti I have lost."
"I am Yin Penglai, of the Yin Family of Baiqu."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba ca to his senses and returned the gesture of courtesy, with a rare bitter smile:
"So it is Taoist Friend Yin, it was I who lost; had you not held back, my Dao Domain might have nearly collapsed..."
Yin Penglai shook his head solemnly and said:
"You, a Cultivator at Unification Perfection, have battled to such an extent; even in the Realm Sea, such Unification Cultivators are few. To not hide from you, aside from my Dao Treasure and so ultimate techniques, almost nothing was spared, yet it still relied on the integration of Dao Domain and rules to barely diminish your rule technique... You are deserving of pride."
"Taoist Brother has praised too much."
Wang Ba rely shook his head helplessly.
"I am not exaggerating; you have not yet Entered Crossing Tribulation yet your understanding in rules is so profound. It appears you will soon easily step into Crossing Tribulation, for the issue of rules is the biggest hurdle at the step from Unification to Crossing Tribulation."
Yin Penglai affird earnestly.
"Oh? Is that true?"
Wang Ba couldn't help but ask curiously.
For many tens of thousands of years in the Sea of Chaos Realm, no cultivator at Crossing Tribulation stage has appeared. Although recorded in many classics, it is ultimately knowledge from books, far inferior to what is imparted personally by a cultivator at Crossing Tribulation stage.
Yin Penglai, keen to make friends, spoke without reservation.
The two promptly began conversing, occasionally laughter could be heard, exuding a sense of eting late in life.
The cultivators nearby witnessed the two, who were fiercely battling earlier, suddenly engaging in friendly banter, all stunned.
And Deng Yingjue on the side felt even more bewildered:
"Weren't they saying, weren't they saying he's a person of the Supre True Buddha?"
"How co this Ninth Ancestor Yin and him then..."
The black-faced cultivator, equally perplexed, approached unable to resist and whispered:
"Ninth Ancestor, isn't he a person sent by the Supre True Buddha...?"
Yin Penglai imdiately turned and glared at the black-faced cultivator, shouting:
"Nonsense!"
"Taoist Friend Taiyi's Dao Law is insightful, his mind clear and unrivaled, how could he be a person of the Supre True Buddha!"
The black-faced cultivator was stunned, thinking, I spoke so quietly so others wouldn't hear, why do you have to shout so loudly?
Feeling sowhat aggrieved.
Yin Penglai then lightly coughed, and said seriously:
"Earlier, I have reached an agreent with Taoist Friend Taiyi, from now on, Taoist Friend Taiyi is the Guest Elder of our Yin Family in Baiqu!"
Deng Yingjue, not far away, trembled all over.
Watching the green-clad figure standing beside the Ninth Ancestor Yin, his heart was filled with complex emotions.
If earlier he had chosen to steadfastly support the other side, would it an that their Green Flood Dragon Realm could also have a cultivator at Crossing Tribulation stage backing them?
However, ti cannot flow backward, many things cannot be assud.
Missing opportunities, after all, are missing opportunities.
Only perhaps, on certain days in the future, thinking back to this day, so emotion called 'regret' might occasionally rise in his heart?
He led the cultivators of the Green Flood Dragon Realm, sowhat lost, back to the Green Leaf Flying Boat.
Intending to leave.
But was stopped by the black-faced cultivator.
"Taoist Brother, we are indeed not people of the Supre True Buddha."
Though feeling sowhat despondent, Deng Yingjue still summoned his spirits, dealing with the Yin Family cultivators guarding the place.
The black-faced cultivator shook his head, reached out and took out a Dao Treasure, handing it over to Deng Yingjue.
Deng Yingjue paused slightly in surprise.
The black-faced cultivator spoke gloomily:
"This is entrusted to by Guest Elder Taiyi to give to you; he violated the pact with you and feels remorseful, please be sure to accept it."
Upon hearing this, Deng Yingjue's heart shook once more.
Only unlike his previous disappointnt, looking at the Dao Treasure in front of him, a unique and complex emotion surfaced in his heart.
In his mind, the image of that green-clad cultivator inevitably appeared again.
After a brief silence, he accepted the Dao Treasure, then stepped out of the Flying Boat, and from afar, made a gesture of respect.
