Wisdom None also smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over several faces in the crowd, then he began to speak about another matter:
"Additionally, I also ask Layman Zhao to kindly spare the Jade Pot Realm for the sake of the old monk's thin face."
"I dare not."
Ji Ying, standing beside Zhao Feng, glanced at Qiao Zhongxu whose expression was solemn and unreadable, and promptly spoke up:
"We previously had only a slight misunderstanding with Taoist Friend Qiao, and now that we know of your senior connection to the Jade Pot Realm, and you have personally diated, naturally, we are reconciled, and you may rest assured, senior."
Wisdom None, hearing this, smiled and looked towards Qiao Zhongxu:
"Layman Qiao, what do you think?"
Qiao Zhongxu slightly bowed, a hint of displeasure on his face, yet he had no choice but to reply quietly:
"Replying to Martial Uncle Patriarch, I shall follow your instructions without objection."
Recognizing the resentful and angry undertones in Qiao Zhongxu's words, Wisdom None's smile remained unchanged, declaring a Buddhist blessing, and looked at Zhao Feng and the others with satisfaction:
"With Layman Ji's assurance, the old monk is also at ease."
Qiao Zhongxu wanted to use his hand to eliminate the Little Cang World in one fell swoop, this intention was clear to see even without needing Telepathy.
But what Qiao Zhongxu didn't know was that he held no affection for the Jade Pot Realm, and from the perspective of the Supre True Buddha, maintaining balance among factions within the Sea of Chaos Realm was the desired outco.
He wouldn't favor the Jade Pot Realm to attack the Little Cang World.
Likewise, with his guarantee, no matter how mighty the Little Cang World grows, it wouldn't dare to easily attack the Jade Pot Realm, thereby allowing a needle to be firmly planted within the Sea of Chaos Realm.
Of course, to him, directly ruling over the Sea of Chaos Realm would actually be simpler.
However, the Sea of Chaos Realm is a place of deep sins, and staying there too long, not only for him but even for Bodhisattvas and Great Bodhisattvas, is unbearable.
Moreover, committing acts of killing the golden goose isn't worth doing.
Therefore, in these years, besides gathering so good seedlings at this location, he focused more on disrupting the power dynamics of the Sea of Chaos Realm.
"By the way, there's also that Gan Xiong..."
His gaze swept over the inconspicuous figure of the old man in the crowd, and a faint gleam flickered in the depths of Wisdom None's eyes.
After dealing with the chronic issues of the Holy Desecration Realm, it can be used as a ans to balance the Little Cang World, although so might be exposed and others kept hidden.
It was the outco of his ticulous selection and layout over the past hundred years.
Yet his face showed nothing, smiling gently and saying:
"If that's the case, the old monk shall take his leave. Everyone, the Realm Sea is distant, co what may, we'll et again."
Raising his hand with an upright palm, he slightly bowed to everyone, showing no arrogance typical of a Tribulation Crossing Great Power, his humility and courtesy were impressive.
Behind him, those cultivators he had selected mimicked the gesture, raising their palms forward.
After saluting, Wisdom None lingered no more, promptly flicking his broad sleeve, obscuring the vast void in an instant.
When Zhao Feng and the others regained their senses, Wisdom None and the cultivators were nowhere to be seen.
Zhao Feng, Qiao Zhongxu, Gan Xiong all wore grim expressions, their atmosphere as cold as ice.
Just until Ji Ying noticed the change in a Magic Tool within his sleeve, he quietly said:
"Ladies and gentlen, the Heavenly Observation Mirror indicates that he has already left, heading towards the branch entrance of the Realm Sea whirlpool."
Upon hearing this, the tense expressions of everyone finally relaxed.
Gan Xiong, the most impatient, looked to Qiao Zhongxu and shook his head with a chuckle:
"Taoist Friend Qiao, your Martial Uncle Patriarch actually set his sights on ."
Qiao Zhongxu's face showed a bitter smile:
"Taoist Friend Gan, you're jesting. His temperant has changed drastically, and he doesn't consider the Jade Pot Realm, and has already beco a stranger to it. It was all superficial pretense, and being called so is rely a formality. Since he isn't a person of the Jade Pot Realm anymore, what he does is unrelated to us."
Gan Xiong laughed:
"Don't be so quick to shirk, I haven't blad you for anything. It's just intriguing that your Jade Pot Realm is so deeply rooted, having so many formidable seniors outside."
Qiao Zhongxu, hearing this, smiled even more bitterly, shaking his head:
"In the Sea of Chaos Realm, there are thousands of forces, with many outstanding talents, but all trapped within a cage, unable to unfold. It's not just the Jade Pot Realm, if your Holy Desecration Realm went out, perhaps there would be Mahayana Cultivators... yet even when they achieve success, they're bound by demonic monks wielding strange Dharmas, unable to find liberation, which isn't a good thing."
"High words from Taoist Friend Qiao."
Beside him, Zhao Feng nodded slightly, speaking earnestly:
"If not for Taoist Friend Qiao's clear reasoning and willingness to cooperate with us, it wouldn't have been easy to dispatch this monk."
Qiao Zhongxu, hearing this, rely nodded listlessly, sighing:
"If possible, I'd wish to follow Martial Uncle Patriarch, but alas..."
Just as he had stated earlier, this Martial Uncle Patriarch never truly regarded the Jade Pot Realm, which naturally ant the other party was already estranged from the Little Cang World. Therefore, deciding was not difficult.
He then thought of sothing and turned to Zhao Feng, saying:
"By the way, Taoist Brother Taiyi, he..."
Zhao Feng and Ji Ying exchanged glances with a few others, then nodded and spoke truthfully:
"Taoist Master Taiyi has already gone over. However, the Patriarchs of our sect are still present. Additionally, he wanted to convey to Taoist Friend Qiao that for those Patriarchs of your realm, should there be a chance, he will certainly try to find a way to release the shackles and restore their original selves. Yet, the difficulty therein is considerable, so he hopes Taoist Friend Qiao won't harbor too much expectation."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhongxu was slightly startled and then nodded slightly:
"Then I'll leave it in the care of Taoist Brother Taiyi."
He naturally understood the implication of the opposing party's emphasis that the Tribulation Crossing Ancestor was still within the Sea of Chaos Realm, and he felt a helpless smile. Even without those Tribulation Cultivators, with the foundation of the Little Cang World before, the Jade Pot Realm was already no match.
Imdiately, a feeling of disinterest arose in his heart, and he felt like departing.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand to bid farewell to the crowd.
Seeing Qiao Zhongxu leave, Gan Xiong also took his leave.
With these people gone, only Zhao Feng and other cultivators from the Little Cang World remained in the air, exchanging worried glances.
"Junior Brother travels tirelessly, unable to rest, while we are powerless, it's truly..."
Zhao Feng sighed lightly, and after Wisdom None departed, the golden double pupil in his eyes was no longer concealed.
Ji Ying shook his head and said:
"He has moved far ahead, we have long since been unable to keep up. However, the spirit beasts he instructed us to nurture are not a problem."
"Only self-rescue brings divine aid."
Zhao Feng whispered:
"We can't keep pinning all hopes on Junior Brother alone. Now that Junior Brother has solved the interference of rules, since we possess Immortal Blood, we should not disgrace the na of immortals. Once we return, I plan to retreat and try to break through."
Upon hearing this, everyone was visibly shocked.
Zhao Feng's cultivation speed had already exceeded everyone's expectations, and he surpassed them all, becoming the foremost among Inner World Cultivators except for fellow Cloud Sky Realm mbers and those like Yao Wudi, who had beco Realm Spirits. In terms of cultivation base, realm, and magical combat, he could be considered the first.
Such speed, though aided by Immortal Blood, was sowhat exaggerated. Naturally, Zhao Feng's laudable diligence was indispensable. Under these circumstances, he intends to aim again towards the Tribulation-Transcending Realm...
In everyone's heart, a sense of urgency intensified at this mont.
"Let's go!"
The cultivators flew toward the direction of the Little Cang World.
Zhao Feng glanced at the void's end, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes:
"Junior Brother..."
Imdiately retracting his gaze, he flew far away...
...
At the sa ti.
A corner sowhere in the Sea of Chaos Realm.
In the void, an obscure vortex quietly rotated bit by bit.
Wisdom None stood above the vortex, forming a hand seal, behind him the previously normal cultivators now appeared wooden and expressionless.
One by one, they lined up, walking toward the vortex ahead.
Sweeping his gaze over these cultivators, upon seeing a purple-armored youth, Wisdom None nodded slightly and showed a satisfied expression.
Still without dropping his guard, he raised his hand and cast seals one by one on these cultivators.
Indeed, he soon discovered on one cultivator an extrely hidden Dharma Seal.
"My Martial Nephew, seems to have a lot of sches!"
Wisdom None sneered, not surprised, and gently pressed an '卍' symbol onto that Dharma Seal.
After checking once more, finally satisfied, he nodded.
Scanning the nearly eight hundred cultivators before him, his mind stirred.
Under his control, these cultivators silently walked into the vortex of the Realm Sea.
Until all cultivators had entered, without any anomaly appearing, Wisdom None nodded in satisfaction and then leaped into it.
As he entered, the vortex slowly closed noiselessly.
And what he never realized was, a figure had been silently following him, disappearing together into the vortex...
