Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2368 - 191: Great Realm (2)

Yet, the foes or rivals Wang Ba faced lay beyond the Little Cang World, rendering this Secret Technique largely ineffective. Once the Six-fingered Divine Demon shattered it with ease in combat, he seldom employed it again.

In this instance, Wang Ba aimed to extract precise details on the Supreme True Buddha and the practices of its monks from Wisdom Truth, compelling him to attempt the technique once more, yielding an outcome that came as no shock.

"Troublesome."

Wang Ba's brows knitted together.

After a brief reflection, he withdrew his focus bit by bit and began counting on his fingers, spotting certain irregularities.

"Over two centuries have elapsed, but no followers of the Supreme True Buddha have entered..."

"Junior Brother Shen, with his elevated position in the Supreme True Buddha, wouldn't mislead me; the intel he provided ought to be trustworthy enough to alert me."

"Maybe they've slipped in already, yet evaded detection by the Patriarch's Heavenly Observation Mirror?"

Following some deliberation, a sense of unease crept over him.

Besides, the Realm Sea vortex near the Demon Capturing Path serves as the primary channel. Should the Supreme True Buddha's people seek entry, it would inevitably stir the vortex.

Even should the Supreme True Buddha's followers stealthily infiltrate the Sea of Chaos Realm, clustering near the Little Cang World, Jade Pot Realm, and adjacent areas, interactions with the Sea of Chaos Realm's cultivators would be unavoidable.

In these circumstances, any shifts would reach his ears without delay.

"Thus, they haven't shown up yet."

This might stem from the vast scope of the war between the Supreme True Buddha and Cloud Sky Realm, tying up all hands and leaving none free for the Sea of Chaos Realm, or perhaps some other factors, but regardless, no one from the Supreme True Buddha has arrived.

"If that's how it stands..."

Wang Ba's eyes grew firm, a spark of a plan igniting within him.

Right then, he dismantled the nearby formation and set off for the Little Cang World.

Several days passed.

Atop Wanfa Peak.

"So, no encounters with Supreme True Buddha members in the Jade Pot Realm, Vajra Realm, or Double Body Realm?"

Wang Ba faced Chongyuan Patriarch, lost in contemplation.

"Indeed, my Heavenly Observation Mirror art, drawn from the Cloud Sky Sect, mirrors their array for watching external domains. Were any from the Supreme True Buddha to pass through the Realm Sea vortex, I'd detect it here for sure. The present state suggests they haven't made their way over."

Chongyuan Patriarch caressed his beard.

Two hundred years plus have gone by, and Chongyuan Patriarch has fully absorbed the eighth-grade elixir Wang Ba procured for him. Though his wounds aren't fully mended, he's far improved from his initial dire state, his face no longer as hollow, carrying a touch more vitality. He relayed the update with grave poise.

Despite the generational gap spanning over a dozen lineages, Chongyuan Patriarch refrains from lording over Wang Ba; rather, his dealings with the Wanxiang Sect folks from the Little Cang World only deepen his regard for him.

He harbors true esteem for this rising prodigy.

Toppling the heavens may sound simple, but how many possess the grit and prowess to pull it off?

This emerging heir climbed from the shadows, stride by stride, into the spotlight and the heart of notice, setting luck aside, each advance forged without a shred of luck.

"As expected, though we can't let our guard down; I'll ask you to stay vigilant here."

Wang Ba gave a nod, then grinned, lifting his cup before Chongyuan Patriarch.

"I'll do what I can."

Chongyuan Patriarch grinned back.

After sipping the spirit wine, a slight frown creased his forehead as he spoke:

"The Sea of Chaos Realm's gateway lies under Supreme True Buddha control; even if we dodge them this round, escaping remains a massive hurdle. Got any thoughts?"

Wang Ba shook his head faintly:

"Faced with such a power disparity, no scheme holds water; it's about seizing an opportunity to depart as one and plotting from there."

"That said..."

He halted briefly, resolve flashing in his gaze:

"The power chasm is vast, true, but without steady progress, no great distance gets covered. Bolstering our strength is always wise... I intend to shatter the Little Cang World's boundaries to check if we can enable those nearing the Tribulation-Transcending Realm here to ascend to it without hitches."

"Shatter the Little Cang World's boundaries?!"

Chongyuan Patriarch's face lit with surprise and respect.

He knew the heir's boldness and willpower were extraordinary, yet this ambition caught him off guard.

A blend of shock and pride washed over him, but weighing the risks, his look turned solemn:

"Domains carry inherent bounds, forged at their birth; altering them isn't straightforward."

Wang Ba showed no astonishment, for the domain breakthrough technique, as Master Chao described, was an uncommon Secret Technique, and Chongyuan Patriarch's ignorance made sense; he smiled:

"Normally, yes, it's out of reach, but with a fitting sacrifice, bucking destiny becomes feasible... I'll likely require your aid when the time comes."

For the Little Cang World's breakthrough, he lacked hands-on know-how, and while Master Chao had shared a way, tweaking and piercing a domain's laws wouldn't prove simple.

Beyond unraveling the laws, stability for the domain's core rules was needed.

At Mahayana cultivation, he'd manage solo, but he hadn't reached that yet.

Hearing this, Chongyuan Patriarch felt a stir of eagerness:

"I'm keen to witness it; when do you aim to begin?"

Wang Ba mulled it over, settling on a choice swiftly:

"The earlier, the better, but I'll need to gather a few more helpers."

Chongyuan Patriarch nodded his assent.
