Capítulo 2265: Chapter 156: Setting Out (2)
This realm is one of the few great realms surrounding the Four Great Realms.
Of course, although it’s called a great realm, it cannot be compared to a realm like the Cloud Sky Realm. Within the realm, there are several early-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivators, and three middle-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivators who are sowhat famous in the vicinity, known as the ‘Purple Flower Three Saints’.
The Purple Flower Three Saints possess a very mystical combined skill, allowing them to roughly match late-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivators. Therefore, apart from the Four Great Realms, they are considered dominant among the surrounding domains.
It is said that the Purple Flower Three Saints have a good relationship with the Cloud Sky Realm, making this place the best to inquire about news of the Cloud Sky Realm.
As soon as Wang Ba flew out of the Flying Dao Treasure, there seed to be so awareness in the smoky-purple domain. The Realm mbrane squird, and soon several cultivators flew out from the Realm mbrane, looking at Wang Ba with vigilance and solemn expressions. The person at the forefront, with a youthful face despite white hair, courteously cupped his hands and said:
“Under the True Man Hanqing of the Purple Flower Realm, greetings to Taoist Brother. May I know the purpose of your visit?”
Seeing their guarded expressions, Wang Ba’s mind worked slightly, and he released a hint of a Crossing Tribulation cultivator’s aura. Smiling lightly, he raised his hand and said:
“I am a Tribute of the Yin Family from Zhang’s Ruins, passing through your land and wish to inquire about the Cloud Sky Realm. I apologize for the disturbance to my Taoist Friends, and I seek your understanding.”
“A Tribute of the Yin Family from Zhang’s Ruins?”
The leading cultivator was slightly surprised upon hearing this and, sensing Wang Ba’s Crossing Tribulation aura, his expression beca stern. He cupped his hands promptly and said:
“I see, in that case, I must ask you to wait a mont, as the Supre True Buddha has been rampant lately. We need to invite the Patriarch here.”
Wang Ba replied amiably with a smile:
“Indeed, indeed.”
As soon as his words fell, the Realm mbrane slightly opened a small mouth, and a silhouette flew out imdiately.
Before the figure revealed its appearance, its voice preceded it, politely saying:
“Hanqing of the Purple Flower Realm, greetings to Taoist Friend. May I know your esteed na?”
The silhouette swiftly descended in front of the cultivators, with a bronze complexion, a square face, hair tied in a Taoist bun, wearing a broad robe, and holding a duster, he smiled and bowed slightly toward Wang Ba.
His aura flowed around, indicating he was also an early-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivator.
“So it is Taoist Friend Hanqing. My Taoist na is ‘Taiyi’.”
Wang Ba did not neglect and raised his hand to return the courtesy.
“The Zhang’s Ruins are so distance from here; is Taoist Friend Taiyi also invited to the Cloud Sky Realm?”
True Man Hanqing asked with a smile, showing no hint of suspicion.
Wang Ba’s mind turned slightly, and he shook his head openly, saying:
“I did not co from Zhang’s Ruins; I was exploring outside and heard halfway that the Supre True Buddha was about to launch a massive attack on the Cloud Sky Realm. Deeply understanding the logic of interdependence, I hurried to the Cloud Sky Realm, though delayed for so ti on the way, and am unclear about the current situation. Hence, I dared not rush in and, having long admired the Purple Flower Three Saints, ca here to seek guidance.”
True Man Hanqing showed an understanding expression, while dismissing the disciples behind him, and said:
“I see, I thought going straight from Zhang’s Ruins to the Cloud Sky Realm would be closer… Nevertheless, it is fortunate that Taoist Friend did not rashly venture in. Now, the Supre True Buddha’s Bodhisattvas and Arhats have laid the Heaven and Earth Net around the Cloud Sky Realm, cutting off support from other realms. If you are unaware and rush in, the consequences can be disastrous.”
Wang Ba, hearing this, couldn’t help but be shocked and asked in surprise:
“Has the Cloud Sky Realm already been surrounded?”
True Man Hanqing shook his head and replied:
“Not exactly surrounded; the situation in the Cloud Sky Realm is not that bad. It is said that Heavenly Monarch Chao of the Canlong Realm and Realm Lord Xiahou of the Void Demon Realm have already rushed to the Cloud Sky Realm. Along with True Man Gai of the Cloud Sky Sect, the three Mahayana cultivators are gathered, even if Tianshang Buddha Lord cos in person, he would most likely flee.”
Wang Ba slightly frowned, noting a crucial point:
“Could it be that the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm has not provided support?”
True Man Hanqing showed a trace of helplessness:
“Taoist Friend Taiyi must not have heard, the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm has always ignored external disputes, unless the Supre True Buddha attacks their doorstep, they are unlikely to intervene.”
Hearing True Man Hanqing’s words, Wang Ba couldn’t help feeling speechless, but soon asked the question he cared most about:
“Has the Supre True Buddha engaged in battle with the Cloud Sky Realm?”
“Naturally, they have.”
Seeing Wang Ba inquiring repeatedly, True Man Hanqing believed in Wang Ba’s identity a bit more, and answered earnestly:
“From what I knew before, the Supre True Buddha had already crossed the Realm Sea several years ago, stopping not far from the Cloud Sky Realm. Perhaps wary of the Cloud Sky Realm inviting fellow cultivators from various realms, thus not advancing as aggressively as before. Only probing a few tis, achieving mixed results. The Three Saints of our realm arrived at the Cloud Sky Realm not long ago and managed to fend off several Bodhisattvas of the Supre True Buddha.”
In his words, there was a hint of pride.
He then sighed slightly:
“But so fellow cultivators did fall… The Supre True Buddha’s formidable approach this ti probably won’t end easily.”
Hearing this, Wang Ba duly showed a trace of admiration:
“The Purple Flower Three Saints truly live up to their na… But how does one avoid the Supre True Buddha’s interception if they want to enter the Cloud Sky Realm?”
“Knowing the danger, does Taoist Friend still insist on going?”
True Man Hanqing looked at Wang Ba with slight surprise.
Not that he thought it wrong to go, but he felt that Wang Ba, a Rogue Cultivator from Zhang’s Ruins, might lack such resolve.
Wang Ba sighed and said:
“The Cloud Sky Realm is the jade pillar holding up the sea in this Realm Sea, the golden beam supporting the ocean. If the Cloud Sky Realm is truly breached by the Supre True Buddha, it would not just bring ruin to one realm. Zhang’s Ruins would also be forever restless. As the saying goes, ‘When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.’ Even with the danger, I cannot and must not avoid it!”
