Chapter 1982: Chapter 68: Two Sects
Little Cang World.
Above the Realm Membrane.
Wang Ba’s expression was slightly somber, staring at Yun Qi with a pale face in front of him, and looking at the five Ghost Kings who were gazing at Little Cang World with suspicion and uncertainty. He narrowed his eyes slightly:
“You mean, Chong Hua encountered a Late-stage Integration Practitioner from the Jade Pot Realm?”
Yun Qi’s aura was chaotic, a result of flying with all his might, and he urgently said:
“Yes, he told me to come back and inform you. Luckily, Hundred Ghost Mountain has a Teleportation Array not far from here, so we were able to get here so quickly. Master, what should we do next?”
In his eyes, the cultivator in front of him, who seemed to only be at the Void Refining stage, was his Master’s Incarnation. Though the cultivation base was low, he didn’t dare to show any neglect.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba slightly frowned, not panicked, but rather asked back:
“Fanming? It didn’t return with you?”
Yun Qi shook his head somewhat perplexedly:
“No, perhaps it was too rushed and didn’t have time.”
Hearing Yun Qi’s words, Wang Ba’s furrowed eyebrows gradually relaxed, and he thoughtfully said:
“Encountered a danger, yet didn’t have Fanming bring you back, obviously confident they could hold the opponent. It’s no big deal… but indeed, we’ll have to change locations.”
“Change locations?”
Yun Qi was slightly stunned.
Wang Ba didn’t explain further.
He gently soothed with a few words and then turned to look at the five Ghost Kings. His gaze swept over the dense crowd of cultivators behind them, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he spoke calmly:
“May I ask why the several Ghost Kings came here? What are your future plans?”
The five Ghost Kings were staring at Little Cang World with eyes full of shock, disbelief, and confusion… astonishment!
They couldn’t help but look at Yun Qi, then back at Wang Ba.
At this moment, they finally understood why Yun Qi was so utterly devoted, even willing to abandon his former allegiance to the Red Sky Palace Master, willingly facing dangers for Chong Hua.
“Domain… a new Domain, a fourth Domain never before seen in the Sea of Chaos Realm!”
Why could the Three Realms stand above countless forces in the Sea of Chaos Realm for so many years?
Their reliance is on having complete Domains!
Reproduction, survival, cultivation… living inside a Domain naturally provides countless benefits unattainable by those outside the Domain.
They don’t need to worry about their Dao Domain losing control and causing a sudden death, don’t need to suffer over their own ugliness, nor do they need to worry about having no successors.
All they need to do is cultivate in peace, casually pick some ordinary things from inside the realm, and exchange them for a large number of treasures at the Sea Market, reaping generational harvests from those outside the Domain!
It’s not that no one has tried to resist, but over so many years, the result of resistance has been nothing but a barely maintained, extremely fragile, and delicate balance, ensuring that most people can barely survive safely.
And this alleged safety is actually flimsy, evidenced by the appearance of the Jade Pot Realm this time.
Therefore, upon hearing Wang Ba’s inquiry, the five Ghost Kings uncommonly paused.
Normally articulate and good at flattering, for the first time, they found themselves at a loss for words.
Seeing the five Ghost Kings’ loss of composure, Wang Ba’s eyebrows marginally furrowed imperceptibly. He glanced at the distant void.
Although he was confident in Chong Hua, it was indeed unwise to delay any longer.
At this point, he spoke deeply:
“You had better make a decision quickly, whether to stay or…”
His gaze turned slightly cold.
If you choose to leave.
Then, in the future, the Sea of Chaos Realm will truly no longer have the name of Hundred Ghost Mountain.
Though he was always lenient, at such a time, leniency towards others would be cruelty to the living beings of Little Cang World, so he wouldn’t mind being ruthless.
Detecting the flash of fierceness in Wang Ba’s eyes.
The somewhat hesitating Vine Grinding Ghost King suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. He glanced at Little Cang World, exchanged looks with the other four, and then solemnly, the five Ghost Kings collectively saluted Wang Ba:
“Vine Grinding/Xi Cai/Corpse-digging… pay respects to the Taoist Master!”
Throughout, they were never clear on the true background of Chong Hua, Wang Ba, and the Little Cang World before them, so they simply used the title ‘Taoist Master’—a title only heads of the Three Realms could have—to address Wang Ba, which served as flattery, coincidentally coinciding with the title ‘Taoist Master Taiyi’.
Wang Ba, however, discerned their thoughts from their address.
His mind shifted slightly, and he softly said:
“I have a Taoist Field, named Taiyi.”
The five Ghost Kings astutely responded, respectfully saying:
“Greetings to Taoist Master Taiyi!”
“From today onwards, Hundred Ghost Mountain is willing to be the wings under the command of Taoist Master Taiyi, risking life and limb at will! We hope the Taoist Master takes mercy on the remaining veins of Hundred Ghost Mountain, treating us as one, and we will repay by bowing our heads and giving our utmost!”
The cultivators of Hundred Ghost Mountain, upon hearing the words of the five Ghost Kings, bewildered and dismayed, were shocked to see the five Ghost Kings indeed bowing and kneeling, and they dared not delay, all of them kneeling and bowing.
Shouting ‘Taoist Master Taiyi’.
Wang Ba’s expression remained unchanged, calmly accepting.
Then he proclaimed loudly:
“From today onwards, Hundred Ghost Mountain will be a branch of my Little Cang World’s Taiyi Dao Field. Within the Dao Field, we establish the Hundred Ghost Sect! I swear by the Realm Sea, the Hundred Ghost Sect will not let down Little Cang World, and Little Cang World will never let down the Hundred Ghost Sect!”
Upon these words, the five Ghost Kings, with tears streaming, knelt and bowed again.
All the cultivators of Hundred Ghost Mountain followed, creating a mighty momentum.
Yun Qi watched from the side, eyes complex, thinking how he never imagined creating such a great momentum? These Hundred Ghost Mountain mice, they really know how to please!
And following this ceremony, the five Ghost Kings didn’t stand on ceremony, immediately identifying as representatives of Little Cang World’s Taiyi Dao Field. The Vine Grinding Ghost King, with a face full of a smile, presented an Innate Dao Treasure to Wang Ba:
