Chapter 1993: Chapter 71: Dao Treasure Workshop
"Twilight Realm, Flowing Light Valley, Stone Realm..."
"Though many of these forces are named after realms, they are actually quite similar to how we were before. There are two that are slightly stronger than us, yet they have both vanished overnight."
"According to the timeline, these forces that were annihilated disappeared not long after Hundred Ghost Mountain was destroyed..."
"I’ve heard that some cultivators skilled in investigation have been sent, perhaps they can uncover something... Though people seem to suspect that it’s the work of Jade Pot Realm, after all, only the Three Realms can easily wipe out so many forces."
The Corpse-digging Ghost King spoke carefully about the information he heard from elsewhere.
The Treasure Raft slowly sailed toward the huge ’horn,’ and on the deck, Wang Ba and others listened to the Corpse-digging Ghost King’s words, but showed little joy, instead, they frowned.
Others might not know, but they understood best that the previous destruction of Red Sky Palace and Hundred Ghost Mountain, although related to Jade Pot Realm, was not actually perpetrated by it.
The former was due to Chong Hua, and the latter was the Five Ghost Kings’ own decision to relinquish.
From this perspective, Jade Pot Realm actually had no reason to wipe out other forces at this crucial moment.
"Could it be Chong Hua?"
Wang Ba’s first thought was his incarnation.
But then he hesitated slightly.
Though Chong Hua was bloodthirsty, he wasn’t really a crazed murderer who destroys homes at will.
The fall of Red Sky Palace could only be considered an accident; his true intention wasn’t to destroy a force.
But the timing was so coincidental, so many years without any force being wiped out, and shortly after they arrived at the Sea of Chaos Realm, this situation occurred. It seemed implausible that it was unrelated to Chong Hua.
"But if it wasn’t Chong Hua, who else could it be?"
Wang Ba was puzzled.
At this moment, the Vine Grinding Ghost King also couldn’t help but appear solemn, speaking:
"Master... Mountain Lord, this Sea of Chaos Realm may seem vast, almost boundless, but in reality, a slight change in the situation can affect everything. It’s likely that the disappearance of Red Sky Palace and Hundred Ghost Mountain gave certain individuals a scent of opportunity, thus they began to want to stir the waters of this Sea of Chaos Realm."
Beside him, Yu Wuheng, Yu Yu, Yi, and others seemed uninterested; they didn’t know much about the Sea of Chaos Realm and came here more to accompany Wang Ba.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba’s expression slightly tensed:
"Do you mean that there might be another force secretly fanning the flames?"
The Vine Grinding Ghost King nodded solemnly:
"In these years of recuperation, some forces have continuously declined, but some forces have begun to emerge. To grow stronger, annexing other forces is the best way, only the previous balance made them hesitant to be the first. Yet the disappearance of Red Sky Palace and Hundred Ghost Mountain revealed the signs... Perhaps, some couldn’t help but secretly strike."
Yun Qi, hearing this, let out a mocking laugh and couldn’t help but sneer:
"Aren’t you all such a group of ambitious ones?"
The Vine Grinding Ghost King remained calm:
"Naturally, who could blame you for Red Sky Palace already being in decline? Besides, didn’t your Red Sky Palace also think of annexing Hundred Ghost Mountain? Otherwise, why did Yun Zaitian run to Jade Pot Realm to fawn on Master Changying?"
Yun Qi scoffed but said nothing more. In this Sea of Chaos Realm, who doesn’t want to live better?
Wang Ba seemed to be contemplating.
The Vine Grinding Ghost King continued:
"These seven or eight forces being wiped out may indeed have involved Jade Pot Realm, or perhaps it could have been the other two realms, but more likely it was the handiwork of those smaller forces. If I have guessed correctly, this Sea Market, whether or not it’s Jade Pot Realm’s doing, the blame will fall on Jade Pot Realm. After all these years, someone finally can’t resist testing Jade Pot Realm’s limits."
Wang Ba pondered for a while, nodded, and said:
"Chaos, for us, can be considered a good thing, but for now, we shouldn’t get involved. Once we accomplish the three objectives of this visit, we’ll return immediately."
The three tasks he mentioned were: repairing the Treasure Basin of Immortal Essence, exchanging the resources inside the realm for needed treasures, such as the Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid to suppress the Primordial Spirit.
The third task was to understand the situation and detailed circumstances of the Sea of Chaos Realm, preparing for Little Cang World’s future establishment here, and by chance, meeting Chong Hua.
"Yes, Wang Yi understands, but it’s also necessary to remind the Mountain Lord that this Sea Market may not be peaceful; it may be unlike any before, we need to prepare early."
The Vine Grinding Ghost King suggested.
What he mentioned was indeed a prudent act, and Wang Ba nodded in agreement.
As they spoke, the Treasure Raft was already following the large flying artifact ahead, gradually approaching the edge of the giant ’horn.’
There, a twisted void could faintly be seen.
Everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit awed.
Breaking the void inside the Realm Sea was already incredibly astonishing, even at the Unification Perfection stage, it might not be achievable. But more astonishing was maintaining such a distortion for long periods.
The terrifying power greatly made the cultivators on the Treasure Raft feel an innate sense of smallness.
Even Yu Wuheng, usually proud and arrogant, couldn’t help but sigh:
"The Realm Sea is vast, beyond the comparison of human power."
The others nodded.
Only Wang Ba looked up at the gigantic ’horn’ covering above.
Yet he suddenly recalled the Immortal Forbidden Land, where he saw those Immortal Bone Seeds seemingly like domain stars, and the terrifying wind zone.
