Chapter 1794: Chapter 18: Unexpected Encounter

"What is that?"

On the high platform of the Taoist Field, Jiang Yi, who was in the midst of cultivation, suddenly sensed something and immediately lifted her eyes to look beyond the realm.

Soon, she saw at the far end of her sight, a patch of white was spreading in the direction of the Little Cang World.

Separated by such a distance, she could only see this white continuously wriggling, rapidly growing.

In just a few breaths’ time, the initially fingernail-sized white in her sight quickly transformed into a cloud-like nebulous haze, possessing a peculiar beauty amidst the dark Void of the Boundary Sea...

"I must quickly find Wang Ba!"

Jiang Yi’s expression was serious. The suddenly appearing white cloud held no beauty in her eyes; rather, she felt a shadow looming over her, instantly recalling Wang Ba’s previous speculations.

Just as she was about to speak, a figure had already appeared not far from her.

Clad in green robes, with a lustrous jade staff slowly floating beside him.

It was Wang Ba.

At this moment, he too wore a serious expression and spoke in a low voice:

"Prepare everyone for defense!"

Having said that, as the cloud expanded rapidly in view, he dared not pause for a moment and urged the Wind-Driving Staff.

The next instant, the waves supporting the Little Cang World gently placed it back on Fanming’s back.

Fanming, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes.

His wings trembled slightly as he also noticed the ’white cloud’ approaching from the front, and soon a trace of dread appeared in his eyes.

Though he was volatile and fierce, he wasn’t foolish; entities that could appear in this Wind Disaster Area at this moment were definitely not benign.

Jiang Yi likewise dared not pause, instantaneously transmitting her voice throughout the Taoist Field to inform the Divinity Transformation cultivators, excluding those in closed seclusion, and almost within moments, figures gathered atop the high platform.

Wanxiang Sect, Longevity Sect, Youxian Temple, Great Snow Mountain Wheel-turning Temple...

Among them, Wanxiang Sect had the largest number of Divinity Transformation and Void Refining cultivators, numbering nearly thirty at present.

Most of them were already at middle-stage or even late-stage in Divinity Transformation.

Such as Han Jinyu, Xu Ying, Zhou Tianqi, Ji Yuan, these peers of Wang Ba, under the Taoist Field’s assistance, had all broken into the Realm of Immortal Ascension.

However, if truly compared, Wang Yi’an was even more stunning, belonging to a lower generation than these individuals, much younger in age, yet had already achieved Immortal Ascension during the previous major catastrophe in the Little Cang World.

Now he emerged from the Dungeon, wielding a sword, but his hair was graying, long hair draped over his shoulders, eyes solemn, giving an impression not much weaker than his master Xu Mi.

This may be due to his simultaneous practice of the Dao of True Martial, resulting in much faster cultivation progress compared to ordinary cultivators.

The second-largest group of Divinity Transformation cultivators belonged to the monk congregation of the Great Snow Mountain Wheel-turning Temple, totaling eleven.

Leading them was the Wu Monkey King, who had already reached Void Refining.

Though his physique was shriveled, his eyes sparkled with the flowing Buddha’s Light, banners fluttered, Buddhist chants filled the air, resembling the reincarnation of a Buddha, captivating hearts.

In recent years, Longevity Sect also regained some Yuan Qi. Counting Liang Wuji, who had reached Void Refining, they now had nine cultivators in or beyond Immortal Ascension.

Youxian Temple had the fewest numbers, hence the progress wasn’t very evident; currently, seven had reached Immortal Ascension.

With Xiong Zhaojing and others in the lead.

As for the reorganized Qin Family and Yuanci Palace, presently neither possessed Divinity Transformation cultivators to oversee.

Excluding those in closed seclusion and those already reaching Class V, including the divine beasts and some Class V True Martial cultivators remaining in the Northern Continent within the realm, these individuals were now nearly all the top-tier combat strength inside the Little Cang World.

"It’s a pity for Qu Shentong, Shen Ying, Qiu Zhongqiu... They’ve all become True Spirit and entered the realm. If they were here and Sect Master Shao and others returned, it would be truly delightful."

Among the crowd, Ji Ying scanned the surrounding cultivators, unable to avoid a trace of regret in his eyes.

Qu Shentong and the others responded to the disaster early in the previous catastrophe, becoming True Spirit and entering the realm. Now, it’s unknown where their reincarnations have gone.

However, the Longevity Sect’s sword dao genius An Changshou’s reincarnation body was brought back by Liang Wuji after entering the realm over thirty years ago. After taking up cultivation, he quickly awakened his Innate Wisdom. Nowadays, his cultivation progresses rapidly, reportedly reaching late-stage Golden Core in just thirty years, and in less than a hundred years, he may return to the Realm of Immortal Ascension.

Truly enviable.

Not envying An Changshou’s cultivation speed, but envying the Longevity Sect’s promising future.

Though Wanxiang Sect has a continuous succession of junior disciples, such outstanding individuals are still rare.

"Deputy Sect Master pointed out that Liang Wuji should retrieve An Changshou’s reincarnation body, yet we don’t know when Qu Shentong and the others will also be found."

Ji Ying kept this matter in mind.

But he didn’t dwell on it further; standing on the high platform, they all saw the rapidly encroaching ’white cloud’ outside the realm.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yi briefly described the situation outside the realm, then based on Wang Ba’s intentions, she spoke:

"All Divinity Transformation cultivators, if any disturbance arises later, stabilize the inside of the realm. Activate the talismans previously arranged outside the realm immediately if any changes occur... Elder Ji Ying, Sect Leader Liang, Fa Shi, the four of us must be ready to act at any moment!"

Ji Ying, Liang Wuji, and Wu Monkey King all nodded slightly.

The situation outside the realm was unclear, making it difficult for Divinity Transformation cultivators to make a significant impact, hence arranged inside the realm, allowing them to maintain stability swiftly if the Little Cang World faces external forces.

They, being Void Refining cultivators, along with Wang Ba, were the main force now responding to the changes outside the realm.
