Gulu gulu...
Countless bubbles, along with his descent, quickly surged upwards.
The gray Water of Origin around him beca deeper and more obscure.
Wang Ba did not retreat, diving straight into the unseen abyss at the bottom of the water.
The sense in his heart beca clearer.
Finally, after extre darkness...
Swish!
As if passing through a barrier.
His vision suddenly brightened!
In the pure white and dazzling light, Wang Ba abruptly opened his eyes!
The spacious and bright immortal cave, with formations at the entrance flowing with waves of shimring light.
He was a bit dazed and quickly recognized this immortal cave.
"It’s at the Yin Ruins Arena!"
"I have returned?!"
Feeling the surge of his Primordial Spirit, the Ninth-Tier Dao Domain within his Spirit seed to stir... Familiar feelings returned completely at this mont, yet subtly, there were so differences.
It was an extraordinarily transcendent feeling.
"Master, are you awake?"
At this mont, a slightly awkward voice suddenly sounded beside Wang Ba.
Wang Ba looked towards the sound and saw a gray-furred monkey beside him, observing him, scratching its ears, displaying a look of joy.
It was none other than Wu Monkey King.
Compared to before, Wu Monkey King’s aura was significantly improved, even without relying on the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled Technique; it seed to be at the late Eighth Tier.
Seeing this, Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask:
"How am I here? What happened before?"
Wu Monkey King dared not delay and hurriedly recounted what happened after Wang Ba’s True Spirit went missing.
Hearing that even Heavenly Monarch Chao and Master of Quiet Cave appeared, and they tried to rescue but eventually left helplessly.
Wang Ba couldn’t help but grow suspicious:
"Master Chao and Master of Quiet Cave arrived late, presumably due to Tianshang Buddha isolating the outside at that ti."
"But why did Tianshang Buddha leave directly at that ti?"
He carefully sensed within his Primordial Spirit, except for the Silkworm Dragon Staff, the other four magic wands were still there.
Upon asking Wu Monkey King, even Wu Monkey King seed to be in the dark, only knowing that Tianshang Buddha left in a hurry after forcing out Wang Ba’s True Spirit with one palm.
Listening to Wu Monkey King’s description, Wang Ba looked at the confused Wu Monkey King, and so guesses erged in his mind.
With a flip of his hand, an ancient horn silently floated from his palm, slightly trembled.
"Zhang’s Ruins..."
Staring at this horn, recalling the perception during the True Spirit, his gaze slightly sharpened, but he didn’t act recklessly.
Then he asked about the aftermath after Heavenly Monarch Chao and others left.
Through Wu Monkey King’s narration, he learned that his physical body was brought to Zhang’s Ruins by Wu Monkey King, guarded by Yin Tianzhi and Cheng Lianzi of the Yin Ruins Arena, and remained within the Yin Ruins Arena.
It’s clever of Wu Monkey King; though usually silent, it deceived Cheng Lianzi and others at the critical mont, preventing them from harboring ill intentions.
Cheng Lianzi and others saw Wang Ba seemingly asleep, difficult to approach, and with the Land-Parting Staff protecting its master, they did not doubt Wu Monkey King’s words and respectfully escorted him into the Yin Ruins Arena.
According to Wu Monkey King’s mory, it’s been over two hundred years since he encountered Tianshang Buddha’s attack.
"Well done."
Wang Ba sincerely praised Wu Monkey King and then asked:
"What’s the situation outside now?"
Wu Monkey King shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.
After thinking for a mont, he only ntioned that Yin Tianzhi and Cheng Lianzi ca several tis before, seemingly anxious, but was blocked outside the immortal cave by him.
Wang Ba pondered slightly, knowing sothing must’ve happened; otherwise, Yin Tianzhi wouldn’t easily co looking if he knew Wang Ba was in seclusion.
He thought for a mont, then without delay, moved his mind, expanded his Spiritual Sense, and soon sensed Yin Tianzhi’s aura and transmitted a ssage.
Before long, a joyful voice ca from outside:
"Ruins Master!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Wang Ba lifted the formation of the immortal cave, and Yin Tianzhi walked quickly from the cave entrance.
Seeing Wang Ba, he imdiately bowed in salute, showing joy:
"Ruins Master, you’ve co out of seclusion?"
Wang Ba slightly shook his head:
"Still need more ti in seclusion."
"But I heard from Wu Monkey King that you were looking for earlier? Is there sothing happening?"
Yin Tianzhi hesitated upon hearing this, showed a bit of sha, and nodded:
"Indeed, over a hundred years ago, a monster appeared near Zhang’s Ruins, black all over, elusive, abducting many cultivators who ventured outside."
"Taoist Friend Cheng Lianzi also went outside before, attempting to capture it, but was easily defeated; if not for the top grade Dao treasure given by the Ruins Master, he might’ve lost his life."
"Helplessly, we can only guard Zhang’s Ruins now, relying on formations to resist the beast, unable to venture out."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba showed a bit of surprise:
"A black monster? Is it a divine beast or sothing else?"
"Did you see what this creature looks like? Does it possess Mahayana powers?"
Yin Tianzhi slightly shook his head:
"It’s probably not Mahayana; if it were, Taoist Friend Cheng Lianzi might not have returned last ti."
Wang Ba contemplated, and amidst Yin Tianzhi’s hopeful gaze, slightly shook his head:
"I still need more ti in seclusion, but if the monster harasses again, you can summon , and I will act."
Hearing Wang Ba’s words, Yin Tianzhi imdiately showed joy:
"Yes."
Wang Ba then asked:
"By the way, do you know about the Supre True Buddha outside, and the situation with the four Great Realms at Duanhai Cliff?"
