Capítulo 2537: Chapter 248: Opposition (2)
In the past, his cultivation base and realm were insufficient, hence he needed to be cautious, hide his identity, but now, without boasting, even soone like True Man Gai, a veteran Mahayana Cultivator, owes him a life-saving favor. Even if all these so-called secrets beco known to everyone, they are no longer of consequence.
This Realm Sea, not counting Tianshang Buddha and so hidden existences, he could already be considered a giant, capable of withstanding all the overt and covert scrutiny from everyone.
Upon learning that there were many cultivators on the other side of Duanhai Cliff, all the cultivators couldn’t help but show signs of surprise:
“So there really is another world inside Duanhai Cliff.”
“No wonder the Supre True Buddha keeps fighting without much loss, despite battling on many fronts…”
“It’s truly impressive that True Man Taiyi can carve out a space for himself under such harsh conditions!”
Everyone sighed in admiration.
However, when these words reached True Man Gai’s ears, they beca increasingly harsh, and his expression grew more somber.
He harbored no dislike for Wang Ba, and had previously quite admired him, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken Wang Ba to the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm to fulfill Wang Ba’s request.
Now, having been saved by Wang Ba, he dared not forget this favor, but breaking the Duanhai Cliff was a matter concerning the rise and fall of the Cloud Sky Realm, which was also his heart’s reverse scale, and he genuinely couldn’t stand by and watch it happen.
On Wang Ba’s side, he imdiately looked towards the bald man Jiao.
The bald man Jiao hesitated after glancing at True Man Gai, then spoke:
“Count in too.”
His tone was awkward, which made Wang Ba take another look at him.
Unless he was mistaken, this person wasn’t human but rather a ‘demon’ as recorded in the “Realm Sea Miscellany” he had read in the Realm Sea of Origin’s ‘Yuan Zhai’.
Originating from beasts, spirit plants, or dead things, yet through special rules and Dharma, he cultivated into a ‘human-shaped Tao Body’, which made it easier to break through his own limits and walk a path of cultivation similar to cultivators, unlike Wang Liu whose Primordial Spirit transford.
This was the first ti Wang Ba had encountered such an existence, secretly marveling in his heart, but his face didn’t show it. He cupped his hands politely, saying:
“Thank you, Taoist Friend.”
Then he turned to Lady Hua.
Lady Hua instinctively looked towards True Man Gai.
However, seeing True Man Gai’s expression, she hesitated for a mont and did not imdiately speak.
Wang Ba noticed this and inwardly sighed, then looked at True Man Gai:
“What does True Man an…?”
True Man Gai pondered for a mont, then slowly shook his head, sighing:
“Taoist Friend Taiyi, I know breaking the Immortal Pass is of utmost importance to you, but once Duanhai Cliff is broken, you should know what impact it will have on us.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just…”
He sighed again, looked at Wang Ba with sincerity:
“Please try to understand my difficulties, Taoist Friend Taiyi.”
Wang Ba remained silent for a mont, then looked at True Man Gai and said patiently:
“Breaking Duanhai Cliff may not necessarily affect the Four Great Realms, and perhaps after breaking it, it will still return to its original state…”
Before he could finish, True Man Gai interrupted slowly:
“But what if not?”
“What if it can never return to its original state?”
“Though it’s true the cultivators on the other side of Duanhai Cliff are innocent and worthy of rescue, aren’t the cultivators on our side of the Four Great Realms innocent too?”
“It’s not that I’m deliberately trying to obstruct you, but this concerns the safety of the Four Great Realms, so I have no choice. I suppose Buddha Lord Kong Zen feels the sa. Buddha Lord Kong Zen, you think so too, don’t you?”
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Ba earnestly.
But at this mont, he heard Kong Zen’s voice, playfully:
“That’s not the case. I strongly support True Man Taiyi in breaking Duanhai Cliff and rescuing everyone!”
Upon hearing this, everyone except Wang Ba was stunned and looked at Kong Zen in shock.
True Man Gai turned to him in disbelief, eyes almost spelling out ‘Are you insane?’
And Yan Poluo’s expression slightly changed, wanting to say sothing, but rembering Buddha Tianyin’s instructions, he eventually held back in front of the other cultivators.
Kong Zen, however, remained unbothered, continuing with a smile:
“After all, without True Man Taiyi, several Mahayana would have long fallen to the Supre True Buddha, and without you Mahayana, the Four Great Realms behind Duanhai Cliff are practically nonexistent, unlikely to withstand the Supre True Buddha’s invasion, and being subjugated by the Supre True Buddha would just be a matter of ti.”
“Now opening Duanhai Cliff, even if there are losses, but if it can cause so trouble for the Supre True Buddha, then it’s well worth it, so what is there to hesitate for? Just do it!”
“This…”
Listening to Kong Zen, True Man Gai’s lips slightly twitched, montarily at a loss for words.
Yan Poluo felt as if his eyes went dark.
Despite not understanding Kong Zen’s choice, after a brief mont of astonishnt, True Man Gai quickly composed himself, showing determination. He looked at Wang Ba, made a solemn bow, then spoke solemnly:
“Taoist Friend Taiyi saved and Liaochan, and Cloud Sky Realm will never forget such kindness. Yet, I and Liaochan would rather die in combat with the Supre True Buddha than watch Cloud Sky Realm fall into decline.”
“I hope Taoist Friend can understand I feel just like you do.”
Upon hearing True Man Gai’s words, Bai Lechan and Lady Hua, though they hesitated for a mont, chose to remain silent.
Though he had anticipated that this request might not go smoothly, Wang Ba couldn’t help but sigh deeply in his heart, feeling the resoluteness of True Man Gai.
