š Chapter 1319 - Dao Seed!
The womanās voice was extremely malevolent, and her song contained an indescribable resentment that even seemed to affect reality. At this moment, the surroundings filled with a heavy pressure. It was as if the air had become thicker, making it difficult to even breathe. Anyone in the area would feel their most horrible memories rising up uncontrollably.
The mountains in the surroundings turned transparent again, and distortions filled the air. The whole area seemed to have transformed into a stage.
And the main character of this stage was the blue-clothed woman, walking forward slowly with blood pouring from her seven orifices. Her eyes were full of resentment as she sang a song of hatred. As for the other cultivators of Earās Desire City, they were also momentarily affected by the power of the song, but they quickly composed themselves and did their best to augment it with their own music.
Meanwhile, in the Joy Branch village at the foot of the mountain, the joy cultivators who had been about to leave via teleportation were also affected. Their figures had already blurred, but the song seemed to become an invisible hand that was forcibly dragging them out of their teleportation.
Many joy cultivators were already turning clear again from their blurry state. It seemed that it wouldnāt take long before their teleportation was fully canceled.
At the same time, all vegetation in the range of the stage withered instantaneously, causing the aura of death to spread in all directions.
It was as if this stage was something that couldnāt exist in the world of the living, and the song sung on it was something that shouldnāt be heard by living people.
At this, Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Light flickered through the depths of his pupils, but a smile appeared on his face.
This smile was peerlessly bright, filled with endless optimism and positivity. It infected everyone in the surroundings, immediately reviving the withered plants on the mountain where he sat. A wave of joy intent spread outwards, clashing violently with the stage formed by the blue-clothed woman.
This was the natural law of joy; happy, carefree, and lighthearted. It was pure, yet impure at the same time.
It was pure because everyone had joy within them. But it was also impure, because although everyone had it, as time went by and they experienced life, their joy would gradually decrease.
The smile of a child was the purest and most genuine, as well as the most in line with the Dao of Joy. At this moment, Wang Baole looked like a child watching a play. His smile was sincere and joyful, untainted by anything.
Soon, the blue-clothed woman stopped several hundred zhang away from Wang Baole. Her figure, which was as tall as the mountain peak, seemed unable to move forward. Her face beneath her black hair twisted with effort as she struggled to take another step.
As for the other Earās Desire City cultivators around her, although they wanted to bolster her song, they were unable to resist the joy intent from Wang Baoleās smile. Gradually, they turned from rhythms back to humans, smiling from ear to ear. At the same time, they seemed to have lost their strength and fell to the ground.
As they lay on the ground, they were completely motionless. Smiles full of satisfaction were seemingly carved eternally on their faces.
Seeing this, Wang Baole became thoughtful.
Looking from a distance, the world at this moment was very strange. There was an illusory stage formed by the mountains and forests, and that stage was split into two halves. One half was occupied by the blue-clothed woman, while the other half had Wang Baole as its core.
Their confrontation caused distortions to fill the surroundings. However, although the blue-clothed womanās song was eerie, she was far, far weaker than Wang Baole.
If it wasnāt that Wang Baole didnāt want to use the laws of the outside world ā or to be precise, if it wasnāt that Wang Baole was relying solely on his insights into the Dao of Joy ā then he would be able to easily kill this blue-clothed woman.
Therefore, Wang Baole was at an immediate advantage in this confrontation. The cultivators of Earās Desire City in the surroundings were all smiling and dying one by one, and in the Joy Branch village at the foot of the mountain, those who were about to be dragged out of teleportation turned blurry once again.
Seeing that the teleportation was about to finish, the blue-clothed woman suddenly let out a sigh. As she sighed, she sang, and the music suddenly grew louder.
Her song reached a crescendo, with all her hatred and resentment exploding out in an instant.
āYou didnāt comeā¦
āI didnāt goā¦
āA mistaken loveā¦ā
This outbreak of resentment made the illusory stage in the surroundings suddenly turn real, and blurry figures appeared all around the blue-clothed woman. Surrounded by gracefully dancing illusions, the blue-clothed woman once again started walking toward Wang Baole.
Her song was eerie and bizarre.
Wherever it passed, the sky grew clouded and all things of the earth withered.
Whoever heard it felt their minds tremble and their vitality flicker.
Atop the mountain, Wang Baoleās joy suddenly dimmed. Although the smile on his face didnāt change, the womanās sigh lingered in his heart for a long time. In the end, an image came to mind ā a wedding dress.
āMusic from the heartā¦ Perhaps the name of this song isā¦ āWedding Dressā.ā Wang Baole shook his head and rose to his feet. He didnāt plan on staying here any longer. By now, the teleportation of the village had reached an irreversible state.
Moreover, relying only on the Dao of Joy that heād cultivated for a few months and without using his own power, Wang Baole knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat the blue-clothed woman in front of him. Her boundless resentment and hatred had perfectly fused into her music, making it extremely eerie. Judging from her ability to do this, along with how her song was so much more complete than the others, Wang Baole could conclude that in Earās Desire City, this womanās status was most likely second only to the Lord of Earās Desire.
Right now, Wang Baole didnāt want to come into contact with such a person. Thus, as he stood up, he didnāt look at the blue-clothed woman and instead stepped into the sky, about to leave.
But just as he moved to leave the area, the blue-clothed womanās resentment suddenly increased again, and her song changed. It no longer rose and fell in a rhythm, but turned into a single note.
It was like a roar, a scream. It was a harsh and extremely dissonant sound!
The stage was unable to bear it. As the sharp noise rang out, it collapsed along with the illusory figures dancing upon it. Even the few remaining Earās Desire City cultivators screamed shrilly as their bodies burst apart.
All of this seemed to add to the blue-clothed womanās power, and the sharp noise seemed to shatter some sort of barrier. Heaven and earth dimmed in an instant.
Wang Baole, who was about to leave, suddenly paused in his steps. He turned his head, eyes shining brightly.
āThis isā¦ the aura of a Dao Seed?ā
