đź“– Chapter 1227 - Stepping Into the Battlefield!
During his seclusion, Wang Baole had gained many insights into the Wood Dao, and he also made plans for his future cultivation.
Besides the Wood Dao, there was still the Metal Dao, Water Dao, Fire Dao, and Earth Dao, and he needed to find a supreme treasure for each one in order to form his Dao Seeds. By tapping into the thoughts of all the wood-aligned cultivators in the Left Dao Holy Region, Wang Baole had identified some potential treasures.
In the Left Dao Holy Region, there was indeed a supreme treasure that could be used to form a Dao Seed. Wang Baole didn’t know what it was called, but he knew that it was of the water element, and its location was… deep within the Nine Provinces Dao.
Most likely, this supreme treasure was… the object Patriarch Nine Daos had used in his attempt to break past the Star Domain Realm and into the Universe Realm. Its value was immeasurable, and it was the foundation upon which Patriarch Nine Daos built his Dao. It wasn’t something to be taken lightly.
As for the Fire Dao, the Left Dao Holy Region didn’t have any suitable treasures. Although the Flame Patriarch was known for his flames, Wang Baole had observed his master for a long time and knew that his flames were produced by the Curse Dao and not the Fire Dao.
He had thought about using the Underworld Fire, but that belonged to someone else’s Dao and thus wasn’t the best choice. After talking things over with the Flame Patriarch, Wang Baole learned about a certain legend.
According to this legend, countless years ago in the Unorthodox Holy Region, a strange fire had appeared. This fire never went out and continued to grow over the years. News about it had circulated several times, but no one had obtained it yet.
Wang Baole felt that it might not be what he was thinking. However, in terms of fire, he also had the fire of his past life as the Burning Torch godling. All of this made Wang Baole ponder over the Fire Dao for a long time.
There was also the Metal Dao, for which the Left Dao Holy Region also lacked a suitable supreme treasure. However, Wang Baole had a direction – again, there seemed to be something in the Unorthodox Holy Region. As for the Earth Dao, perhaps it was because of the connection between wood and earth, but Wang Baole could vaguely feel… that there was a suitable treasure inside the Never-Ending Clan.
However, the Federation was considered a neutral party. If he wanted to take action to obtain these Dao treasures, Wang Baole needed justification. And just as he was thinking about what this justification could be… Bone Emperor and Mystic Blossom arrived.
The former was slightly surprising to Wang Baole, but as for the latter… his arrival wasn’t unexpected at all. Or perhaps it should be said that Wang Baole was counting on it!
The arrival of these two Divine Emperor-level fighters and their provocative actions gave Wang Baole an opportunity. As for Chen Qingzi’s reaction, Wang Baole could only sigh. After cultivating to his level, he could obviously see… that Bone Emperor had only come here due to Chen Qingzi’s instructions.
Perhaps there was another purpose, but maybe… this was his method of helping Wang Baole. After all, in the end, it had created a perfect excuse for Wang Baole to take action.
Thus, after a moment of silence, Wang Baole’s gigantic clone outside the solar system slowly rose to his feet and stepped out into the starry sky. Numerous gazes instantly gathered on his body.
Patriarch Nine Daos of the Nine Provinces Dao, Dao Mozi of the Unorthodox Holy Region, those of the Never-Ending Clan and Underworld Sect… at this moment, all the powerhouses of the stele world were staring in the direction of Wang Baole.
Under the gazes of all these people, Wang Baole’s huge body became smaller and smaller with every step he took. As he paused near the galaxy where the Nine Provinces Dao was located, he was already the size of a normal person.
When he saw Wang Baole pause, Patriarch Nine Daos’ expression instantly turned grim. His cultivation base began circulating, and the Nine Provinces Dao’s grand formation activated, causing a powerful pressure to gather on Wang Baole’s body.
All the cultivators in the Nine Provinces Dao trembled, but Wang Baole didn’t even spare them a glance. After pausing for a moment, he just passed by the Nine Provinces Dao’s territory. As countless people sighed in relief, he approached the edge of the Left Dao Holy Region.
Standing at the boundary, Wang Baole’s footsteps stopped again. He had never truly left the Left Dao Holy Region before. Now, his eyes were calm, as if he was meditating, and the eyes of the countless people staring at him all contracted slightly.
Inside the Unorthodox Holy Region, the Seven Spirits Dao’s Dao Mozi narrowed his eyes.
“Just what is your current level…?”
Although Wang Baole could be said to have come out on top against Bone Emperor and Mystic Blossom in their previous battle, it could also be said that Bone Emperor and Mystic Blossom had taken the initiative to retreat.
As for the specific details, perhaps only those directly involved were aware.
At the same time, in front of the waterfall deep in the Moon Star Sect, the sect’s ancestor sitting cross-legged in meditation opened his eyes, full of anticipation.
In the Never-Ending Holy Region, the Xie Family’s ancestor narrowed his eyes. He first glanced in the direction of the Never-Ending Clan, then at Wang Baole standing at the boundary of the Left Dao Holy Region, and fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile, the Never-Ending Clan was strangely silent. The moment he returned, Mystic Blossom entered seclusion and didn’t respond to any sound transmissions.
As for Patriarch Never-Ending, he didn’t make a peep. It was as if he was in the middle of something and absolutely couldn’t be interrupted. Even his clone, Divine Emperor Kiga, didn’t know the specifics.
The Xie Family’s ancestor had some guesses, as did Divine Emperors Radiant Light and Kiga, who were overseeing matters in the Never-Ending Clan. It seemed that Chen Qingzi had taken advantage of the occasion to hide his karma and make a move in secret.
This made Radiant Light’s expression turn grim. He immediately sent a voice transmission to Divine Emperor Imperial Mountain, who was fighting enemies abroad, ordering him to return to the clan as soon as possible.
When he received the order, Imperial Mountain frowned in disapproval. He was currently engaged in battle with Buried Spirit outside the Underworld River, and the armies of the Underworld Sect and Never-Ending Clan were fighting bitterly below.
On the battlefield, countless divine abilities and Daoist magics shook the void. Moreover, there were two quasi-Divine Emperor cultivators from the Never-Ending Clan also taking part in the battle. One of them was known as Sheep Daoist, a mighty figure of the Inky Sheep Tribe. His original form was a black sheep that had existed since time immemorial, and he was indescribably savage. If not for some special regions, he would have reached the Universe Realm a long time ago.
As for the other, she was a woman wearing a black robe embroidered with innumerable eyes, creating a bizarre appearance that could shake the mind. This woman was the ancestor of the Demon Eye Clan. According to legend, her original body was the eye of a powerhouse from the previous epoch. When the epoch changed, that almighty being’s eye managed to persevere and found a clan in the new epoch.
These two people had cultivation bases infinitely close to the Universe Realm and were capable of fighting on par with a Divine Emperor. Noticing the fluctuations of divine will that Imperial Mountain received, they both looked over.
“It’s just a little kid. Radiant Light’s too worrisome.” Imperial Mountain had met Wang Baole before. Back then, Wang Baole had been nothing more than an ant. If Chen Qingzi hadn’t been there, he could have killed the boy with a single thought.
"Wang Baole?" The Demon Eye ancestor asked hesitantly.
Imperial Mountain didn’t respond. Instead, he suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance. Sheep Daoist and the Demon Eye ancestor also looked over. At the same time, Buried Spirit’s expression shifted as he, too, turned his head.
On the boundary of the Left Dao Holy Region, Wang Baole had already lifted his foot and stepped down, placing himself firmly in the Never-Ending Holy Region. His divine will and Dao aura erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire Never-Ending Holy Region in an instant. He sensed the battlefield where Imperial Mountain and the others were located, and heard… someone say his name!
Thus, with a calm expression, he took his second step. His target… was none other than that battlefield!
