Chapter 2306: Chapter 169: Celebration (Correction – This Chapter Is Supplental)_2
This principle can be easily understood with a bit of thought.
Wang Ba did not neglect this matter, yet upon hearing the sect leader Bai’s words, he hesitated slightly and said:
“Ashad, it’s rely a minor victory, insignificant to the overall situation. Organizing in such a grand manner, might it lead people to lose vigilance?”
The young man in the purple robe heard this and smiled gently.
A cultivator beside him laughed and said:
“Taoist Friend Taiyi, your words are mistaken. The battle before was not a minor victory, but a great triumph. With your strength alone, you defeated five Great Bodhisattvas, dispelling the aura of decline. It made everyone see clearly that although the Supre True Buddha is mighty, it’s not invincible. Most here have co to assist like we did, so confidence is most important. As long as people’s hearts are steady, the general situation remains hopeful. Therefore, this was naturally not a minor victory.”
Upon hearing this, the young man in the purple robe nodded approvingly and replied:
“Taoist Friend Er speaks rightly. The human heart is like water; if it can’t be united as one, external forces will scatter it. But if it turns into an ice spike, it can pierce through obstacles… Taoist Friend Taiyi, your battle has turned everyone from water into ice. How could it not be considered a great victory?”
Wang Ba, hearing this, could only helplessly clasp his hands:
“Then I shall follow Taoist Brother’s instructions.”
Everyone seeing this, laughed.
“By the way, your consecutive five victories have accumulated fourteen billion Cloud Shells, and the items you desired from the treasury have been specially set aside for you.”
The young man in the purple robe suddenly transmitted these words.
Wang Ba was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded, transmitting back:
“Thank you, Taoist Brother.”
Previously, he had lavishly gifted six top-grade Dao Treasures to the counterpart with many considerations.
Firstly, he knew well that even if sect leader Bai accepted them, due to various circumstances, he couldn’t possibly keep them all. Hence, he had to leave enough room for the other to express intentions, which is why he gave six instead of rely two or three, expressing his gratitude while also allowing room for the other, achieving a balance.
Secondly, the saying goes, the tallest tree in the forest is easily broken by the wind. He had just defeated five Bodhisattvas, in the lilight now, and perhaps no one dared to covet him now, but after this wave of attention passed, his nurous top-grade Dao Treasures might attract others’ notice. An obvious attack is easy to avoid, but a hidden one is hard to guard against, so fewer prying eyes are inherently better. Hence, he gifted all six Dao Treasures in front of everyone, deepening his connection with the Cloud Sky Realm while lightening his own burden.
As for the third reason, although these top-grade Dao Treasures were precious, he indeed had no use for them himself. Saving them for Little Cang World might take who knows how long before they could be put to use. anwhile, their Cloud Shell value wasn’t much higher, and it’s faster for him to battle with those Bodhisattvas directly.
On the contrary, gifting them to the Cloud Sky Realm cos with various benefits, naturally a joyous matter.
Admittedly, he had considerations from the public interest as well.
What he didn’t expect was that sect leader Bai’s reciprocal gesture ca so quickly.
Leading him into the Cloud Sky Sect’s Qianguang Cave, aiding him in understanding the “Returning All Streams to the Sect” Primordial Spirit Skill, being one of the greatest gains of this journey.
Regarding those treasures left for him in the treasury, they were additional benefits from befriending the Cloud Sky Sect.
But concerning the number of Cloud Shells, he didn’t care much anymore.
The few laughed and made their way to the banquet location.
Along the way, nurous cultivators all saluted to Wang Ba and the few with him, especially to Wang Ba.
If it were an ordinary Rogue Cultivator encountering such a situation, they might have been overwheld. But Wang Ba, after all, is a domain’s lord, having had much experience. Although the cultivators here have high ranks, to him, they are rely average, responding calmly and warmly, making others feel close.
The atmosphere within the Taoist Field didn’t feel as tight as if a great battle was imminent, but rather carried a few
degrees of relaxation and delight.
However, Wang Ba also noticed that the defenses at the corners of the Taoist Field had not decreased; instead, they had increased significantly, clearly indicating that the Cloud Sky Sect remained vigilant against the Supre True Buddha.
This made Wang Ba slightly relieved.
Yet upon noticing that the number of cultivators inside the Taoist Field exceeded before, he was sowhat concerned and said:
“Taoist Brother Bai, could it be that cultivators within the domain have all co?”
The young man in the purple robe nodded and said:
“Indeed, the sects within the domain have been assisting in guarding the domain’s nodes in their respective territories, and they’ve been ntally tense and exhausted over the years. With this great victory, since we are to celebrate, we can’t possibly let them rely watch us drink and celebrate. Therefore, I sent people to invite them over, ensuring a celebration across the entire domain.”
“Isn’t this a bit too grand? What if it causes delays…”
Wang Ba couldn’t help but question again, but he didn’t voice it out loud. Instead, he asked through a voice transmission.
Hearing Wang Ba’s concern, the young man in purple robes smiled and said:
“No worries, even if the Supre True Buddha attacks, everyone here is a Cultivator. With a single thought, we can return to our Guardian position. Besides, not everyone is here, so there’s no need to worry.”
Hearing this, Wang Ba slightly nodded.
And didn’t think much more.
He imdiately followed the young man in purple robes straight to the banquet location.
The banquet was set atop a group of peaks in the center of the Taoist Field. Due to the number of people, the tops of these peaks had been flattened. The largest peak in the middle served as the main venue, with other peaks surrounding it.
Now, as he exited seclusion, many Cultivators had already begun entering the venue one after another.
Those at the Void Refining, Unification, and Tribulation Crossing stages were all on the main peak. anwhile, other outstanding talents from the Immortal Ascension and Nascent Soul stages were also invited and seated in the outer area.
Seeing such a grand scene, Wang Ba felt quite surprised.
As Wang Ba entered the venue, many Cultivators ca forward. Wang Ba gathered his scattered thoughts and greeted each with a smile, but as he spoke, he suddenly felt sothing and instinctively turned his head, only to be stunned.
Amidst the bustling crowd, he unexpectedly saw a sowhat familiar figure in moon-white robes standing beside Chen Zhongqi and a slightly familiar red-clothed youth, both looking at him with the sa astonishnt on their sowhat indifferent faces.
“Grandmaster?”
The person also appeared shocked and then exclaid with surprise and joy:
“You… Wang Ba?!”
Wang Ba quickly apologized to the Cultivators beside him, broke through the crowd, and looked with surprise and joy at the Taoist in moon-white robes and a jade hairpin with crane-like hair in front of him.
Unexpected, yet within reason.
Separated by over two thousand years, spanning the Immortal Forbidden Land and Sea of Chaos Realm, across countless miles, he finally saw familiar Sect elders in this Cloud Sky Realm.
This Taoist was Hui Yunzi.
At this mont, he too was looking at Wang Ba with disbelief. The joy in his heart was hard to describe, yet it was mixed with both joy and concern. Under the wide-eyed gaze of Chen Zhongqi and the red-clothed youth beside him, he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Wang Ba’s arm, and quickly whispered:
“You’ve ascended too? How is the Little Cang World now? Has the problem of Chaos Origin Substance shortage been solved? How is the Sect now?”
The surrounding Cultivators, witnessing this scene, all showed signs of amazent!
An initial Unification Cultivator dared to grab True Man Taiyi’s sleeve so boldly.
Fortunately, the crowd had keen eyes and soon noticed the ripple in True Man Taiyi’s eyes, indicating that the two knew each other. Opinions varied, and they all fell silent, though secretly curious: how could a Great Power like True Man Taiyi have connections with a Unification Cultivator? Could it be that this Unification Cultivator is True Man Taiyi’s descendant?
Wang Ba naturally didn’t know that the surrounding Cultivators had already co up with so many possibilities. He carefully withdrew his Protective Treasure Light to avoid injuring Hui Yunzi, and upon hearing Hui Yunzi’s flurry of questions, he was temporarily speechless; the journey held too many experiences, and he didn’t know where to start.
Before he could answer, Hui Yunzi, overwheld by concern, was swept up by his emotions. Regaining composure, he leaned back slightly, scrutinized Wang Ba, and his face subtly changed. His gaze swept over the formidable figures behind Wang Ba who were watching, and he finally realized sothing, a hint of shock appearing in his eyes:
“No… can it be… you’re True Man Taiyi?!”
Wang Ba slightly shook his head:
“Grandmaster, just call by my na.”
Though he denied it, how could Hui Yunzi fail to hear the implicit confirmation in Wang Ba’s words?
His heart was shaken.
Wang Ba’s gaze shifted slightly, landing on the red-clothed youth behind Hui Yunzi and curiously looking at him with surprise. Recognizing the youth’s appearance, Wang Ba felt a slight stir in his heart, having guessed his identity.
At this mont, Hui Yunzi quickly introduced:
“This is the Qitian Patriarch.”
