Capítulo 2459: Chapter 222: Empowerment
Mount Xumi, outside Miaojue Temple.
Gazing at the slowly closing temple gates and sensing that last trace of anguish lingering from when his mind and Kong Zen completely severed, Wang Ba felt a surge of complex emotions. Yet, he soon pulled himself away from this complicated state and turned to look at Heavenly Monarch Chao beside him:
“What plans do you have next, Master Chao?”
Heavenly Monarch Chao glanced at Miaojue Temple with complex emotions in his eyes. The sound of Buddhist chanting resounded continuously from within, carrying a faint note of sorrow and solemnity.
He shook his head slightly and said:
“I plan to go beyond the realms after Tianyin attains Nirvana and begin rebuilding the Canlong Realm. Perhaps I will need your assistance then.”
Wang Ba was slightly taken aback:
“So urgent?”
The threat of the Supreme True Buddha had not yet been eliminated, and rebuilding the Canlong Realm at this time seemed a bit hasty.
Heavenly Monarch Chao nodded, looking at Miaojue Temple, seemingly thinking of the outcome of Buddha Lord Tianyin, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes:
“Tianshang Buddha Lord is overwhelmingly powerful; Tianyin’s defense is unparalleled, and True Man Gai’s Sword Dao is unmatched, yet even so, they are still no match for him. I have already lost hope… Rather, I will rebuild the Canlong Realm and fulfill my responsibility. The rest is up to fate. You have my legacy, and the inheritance of the Canlong Realm resides within you. If the Canlong Realm can be successfully passed down, it would be a comfort to the sages of the Canlong Realm of past generations. If not… it is as fate dictates.”
Wang Ba fell silent at these words, then nodded and said:
“Master Chao, feel free to instruct. As long as Taiyi can help, I will do my utmost to assist.”
The silent True Man Gai suddenly spoke at this moment:
“Taoist Friend Chao, your realm and mine were once brothers. In rebuilding the Canlong Realm, the Cloud Sky Realm is willing to contribute. If you need anything, just speak.”
Heavenly Monarch Chao heard this and did not stand on ceremony, nodding:
“Indeed, I do need some help. The initial construction of the Canlong Realm is manageable, but it lacks manpower.”
Wang Ba’s heart stirred, recalling a world, and said:
“I will arrange for some boys and girls to be brought to this realm. They will aid Master Chao in passing down the supreme skills of the Canlong Realm and assist in setting up formations to prevent being exploited by opportunists.”
Upon hearing this, Heavenly Monarch Chao revealed a look of gratification:
“That is excellent.”
True Man Gai also smiled upon hearing this and said:
“I will provide some upper grade elixirs to quickly cultivate a group of disciples for the Canlong Realm. By the way, don’t forget the item you are cultivating in our Cloud Sky Realm.”
Heavenly Monarch Chao laughed and said:
“How could I forget? I have yet to thank Taoist Friend Gai for your meticulous care.”
True Man Gai smiled slightly, then cupped his hands and said:
“You two remain here. I will first return to the Cloud Sky Realm to arrange various matters, primarily because Liaochan is soon to break through and cannot be left without close care.”
At these words, envy crept into Heavenly Monarch Chao’s expression, and he congratulated:
“Martial Nephew Bai’s breakthrough allows Taoist Friend to ascend without worry. Congratulations in advance.”
The Canlong Realm no longer exists; even if rebuilt, its foundation is lost. In contrast, the Cloud Sky Realm has heirs, how can it not make him feel emotional?
He turned to look at Wang Ba, feeling a bit of regret in his heart.
If Wang Ba were a man without a home, he could fully assist him in inheriting the Canlong Realm’s legacy. However, Wang Ba’s circumstances meant he could not fully become a person of the Canlong Realm, thus leaving him only to sigh silently in his heart.
Heavenly Monarch Chao then cupped his hands and said:
“Taoist Friend Gai, please go ahead. I have nothing left to do and will remain here for now to watch over Tianyin…”
Wang Ba also congratulated:
“Then let’s wish Taoist Brother Bai a successful breakthrough.”
True Man Gai smiled slightly:
“I will surely convey your sentiments.”
With that, he transformed into a sword-light and swiftly flew beyond the sky.
Heavenly Monarch Chao’s gaze returned to Miaojue Temple, his expression unable to conceal the heaviness in his heart. He then looked at Wang Ba and asked:
“Have you mentioned the matter of opening Duanhai Cliff to them?”
Wang Ba nodded:
“I didn’t conceal it, but True Man Gai did not accept it, and Buddha Lord Tianyin also declined.”
Heavenly Monarch Chao shook his head and said:
“The existence of Duanhai Cliff is a matter affecting the fate of the four great realms. True Man Gai has always prioritized the interests of the Cloud Sky Realm, so how could he agree to your request? Tianyin might have some possibility, but I fear she is just as helpless…”
Followed by a soft sigh, he shook his head and said:
“In the affairs of the world, what can withstand the ravages of time? At least in the Third Realm Sea, it is impossible to last. As for the Second Realm Sea, I see it may not be as we expect. Otherwise, why would the immortals of the Second Realm Sea return to the Third Realm Sea in the first place?”
Hearing this, Wang Ba also nodded, agreeing: 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
“Everyone harbors fantasies about the unknown, but who knows if the place where we ascend is truly a paradise? My views align with Master Chao’s; I fear the Second Realm Sea may not necessarily be a place of peace.”
He couldn’t help but recall his thoughts upon first entering the Cultivation World.
In the beginning, at the East Saint Sect, he always thought changing sects would let him soar to the skies and roam free, but he ended up falling into the Tianmen Cult.
While in the Tianmen Cult, he thought that even becoming a Rogue Cultivator was better than being an ox or horse in the Tianmen Cult, but after becoming a Rogue Cultivator, he still faced many tribulations, living on the edge day by day.
At that time, he thought that if he could join a great sect, he might be able to cultivate in peace, but even after joining the Wanxiang Sect, without the crisis of living on the edge, he still faced greater calamities, always finding it hard to find stability.
Back then, he felt that his fate was unkind, always encountering various problems. However, reflecting on it now, it was merely an inevitability. As long as one lives in the world, they will inevitably encounter challenges that others may never face in a lifetime.
