Chapter 787: Chapter 661 Dealing with Ongoing Situations [Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets]

After a moment, Wang Zijia finally stopped, clutching the Banana Fan, panting heavily.

The golden-haired goddess had disappeared without a trace after the Void Passage vanished.

He hoped that her luck was good enough to survive the Void Turbulence he had stirred up.

The Banana Fan quickly shrank and disappeared, causing the faces of the watching Great Cultivators around to twitch.

A moment of silence ensued, leaving them all greatly surprised.

After a short silence, the cultivators from the Taiching Palace, who had rushed over, arrived in front of the panting Wang Zijia. The leader, a Turbid Immortal, respectfully greeted Wang Zijia, saying,

"Li Shaopeng of Taiching Palace greets the Fellow Daoist from Shangqing, you must be Yun Zhongzi, right?"

Wang Zijia looked at the group for a moment and waved his hand, saying, "You misunderstand, fellow daoist, I am not a disciple of the Shangqing Sword Sect."

At this, Li Shaopeng paused slightly and looked at the sword floating next to Wang Zijia with confusion.

"Indeed, I have cultivated the Liangyi Primordial Magnet Sword, but I am not a disciple of Shangqing," Wang Zijia explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Shaopeng became even more puzzled, but he did not dwell on the matter. Instead, he asked, "Could Yun Zhongzi fellow daoist tell us what happened just now?"

"It must have been a divine spirit from the Witch Realm," Wang Zijia responded confidently, despite phrasing it as a question.

Although everyone had their suspicions, they were not surprised by Wang Zijia’s confirmation.

Liang Shaopeng asked in confusion, "How did you come across this deity?"

"Um... this woman suddenly came to the city and seemed about to cause some trouble. Afraid that she might open a portal to the two domains, sending troops or dragging the city into the extraterritorial, I decided to take action immediately," Wang Zijia didn’t pause to think before giving the answer he’d prepared in advance.

"Is that so?"

"Those lunatics are really arrogant!"

"We haven’t even started to settle the score with them and they dare to come knocking."

"Our ancestors are still discussing how to retaliate, and now they are seeking their own death. I think they want to bring about the Destruction Boundary."

"I think it’s feasible. Even though we haven’t launched many cross-border wars in this epoch, we can’t let people bully us to our doorstep!"

"..."

The disciples of the Taiching Palace exchanged cold gleams in their eyes as they spoke.

The Witch Realm and The Taiching Palace had a deep-rooted enmity. Even though the present Taiching Palace could not be compared to its past glory, this enmity hadn’t lessened.

...

After exchanging a few words with Wang Zijia and roughly clarifying the circumstances, Li Shaopeng said, "You seem to have spent quite a bit of energy, fellow Daoist, we won’t disturb you any longer. After you have recovered, we will visit again. Surely, then we will have a joyful banter over some wine."

"I’m always ready to welcome you!" Wang Zijia replied with a smile, giving a quick bow in return.

After the others returned his bow, they floated away towards Taiching Palace.

Wang Zijia glanced at Sanyuan City below him without paying them any heed.

Countless cultivators in Sanyuan City watched Wang Zijia fly back to the Yu Family and disappear. Everyone knew, Sanyuan City was likely gaining another Big Shot.

...

"Master, are you okay?" As soon as he landed in the courtyard, his disciples from the Yu Family surrounded him. Yu Guangyun asked anxiously.

Having experienced the taste of sheltering under someone’s wing for a few days, he was more nervous for Wang Zijia’s safety than anyone else.

Wang Zijia waved his hand unconcernedly, saying, "I’m fine, just spent a bit too much energy. If someone comes to visit later, you all handle it. I need to close up for a couple of days."

"Disciple understands, master. You concentrate on your retreat, and I will handle all miscellaneous matters!" Yu Guangyun said.

With no more words, Wang Zijia went straight into his cultivation chamber.

With a thought, he opened the book. On it, the Scroll Painting of the Weird Heart had once again become motionless, like an ordinary piece of paper, utterly silent.

"What the hell are you?" Wang Zijia furrowed his brows as he looked at the peculiar heart.

If it were not for the fact that he was very sure this was an object and not something alive...

He would have thought that there was some Old Monster inside it!

Moreover, if Wang Zijia’s senses were correct, this heart should pair with the staff.

If the staff could display Dao power, then this heart was undoubtedly something of the Saint Third Realm.

It was indeed precious, but carrying something like this around had far too many disadvantages.

Due to his special Dao Fruit Equivalent Balance and Fate, he couldn’t be easily divined by others.

However, carrying such a thing around was akin to attaching a tracker to himself.

It was fortunate that in the Witch Realm, he was alert enough to run fast. If he hadn’t... Once the god in the realm reacted and had free time...

He would probably be hunted down by divine spirits all over the world!

Thinking of this, Wang Zijia felt a chill run down his back.

However, the idea of discarding this precious treasure of the Saint Realm was completely impractical.

After a long while, an idea suddenly flashed across Wang Zijia’s mind.

"So, you can track this thing, can you? Then let me give you a big present. I hope this surprise is strong enough!"

While murmuring to himself, Wang Zijia suddenly revealed a particularly crafty smirk.

On the book, the entrance to the Duobao World appeared.

Wang Zijia stepped into it and disappeared without a trace.

The blood-red book flickered and also burrowed into the anchor artifact, vanishing without a trace.

······

Wang Zijia and Yao Wenxuan first arrived at the base in the east, inside the forbidden area of the Immortal Bone Sect, one of the top ten ancient forbidden lands in the East Wilderness.

Wang Zijia’s primordial spirit, holding the blood-red book, materialized at the foot of the Immortal Bone Sect’s mountain in the small courtyard forged of chaotic crystals.

The book opened and he merged his primordial spirit with his physical self.

Then, Wang Zijia’s mind stirred, and a page of the book flew out.

"Bang!"

With a soft sound, the book page exploded and a heart sealed multiple times emerged.

However, upon arriving here, Wang Zijia was dumbstruck to find that the heart, which had quieted down from several layers of sealing, suddenly started beating again at this moment.

With its beating, strange breaths were drawn from various chaotic crystals towards the heart.

"What’s this... Something is stimulating it?"

Before Wang Zijia could carefully discern what the heart was drawing, he felt an odd wave spread out.

"This direction is... towards the Dual Realm Altar?"

"Whoever it is, if you can help me escape, I will give you a Great Thousand Heavenly Dao!"

Just as Wang Zijia tried to perceive the specific situation at the altar, the overwhelming resentment inside the altar exploded.

Along with the spread of resentment was a desperate plea for help.

That old guy had actually triggered the resentment he had gathered bit by bit over tens of millions of years, just to send out this message.

When Wang Zijia extended his senses, the old guy had already withered.

There was little resentment left in the entire altar, let alone escaping using the resentment, even if he wanted to communicate with him again, he would have to go to the core area of the altar and actively give him some strength.

Obviously, the seal was still strong; sending out that message made him weak!

This commotion was simply because the heart in front of him was extracting some kind of energy from this chaotic area!

This realization made Wang Zijia’s gaze, staring at the floating heart in front of him which was absorbing an unknown energy, even more strange.

"What the hell are you? What made that old guy so excited? Did he assume that the one causing this commotion was a powerful cultivator of the Saint Realm?"

"Wait... I think I know what you’re extracting!"

Within his thoughts, Wang Zijia had an epiphany, instantly understanding what the heart was extracting.

The reason this place, over countless years, not only didn’t improve, but deteriorated to become a forbidden land, was due to the Heavenly Dao of an alien world that fell here, and the Law Array collapsing.

If Wang Zijia didn’t guess wrong, this heart should be extracting the Heavenly Dao power of this chaotic forbidden land from an alien world!

Is that why the old ghost in the altar believed that not only was the one who came here a big shot, but also a fellow practitioner from another world?

Is that why he was so desperate?

"Tsk tsk... If that’s the case, this thing really is a formidable treasure!"

Watching the heart as it continued to absorb the strange power, Wang Zijia’s mind flashed.

He carefully placed it in the crystal courtyard, and then arranged many surveillance arrays around the courtyard.

If this situation would prevent practitioners from the foreign world were tracking, then let it be, if it didn’t, well...

Once they rushed into this place, they would know what an East Wilderness forbidden area was.

Even if they miraculously managed to get in, when they struggled to cross this place and ended up at the core area out of breath, Wang Zijia would continue to teach them a lesson.

Of course, if they didn’t get hurt at all after entering the forbidden area and he couldn’t defeat them, then he would have to hide.

But that would have to be at least a great cultivator of the Ninth Realm at the Profound Immortal level, right?

Does the Witch Realm currently have such big shots?

If there were, the previous seven Immortal Venerates shouldn’t have managed to retreat to the Secret Realm so easily!

······

After spending several days setting up various surveillance and creating numerous backup plans to prevent accidents and facilitate escape, Wang Zijia looked toward the distant altar, hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t make contact with that old guy.

Although he should have contact with him sooner or later, he decided to wait until he gathered the other spiritual objects and truly needed the Space-time Sea Eye.

Considering the identity of the other party as not only a great cultivator of the Saint Third Realm but also someone who had swallowed a whole world’s Great Thousand Heavenly Dao, used countless cultivators as livestock, and even the big shots of Divine Magnificence Fourth and Fifth Eras couldn’t completely annihilate, only able to seal······

Thinking about his numerous titles, Wang Zijia didn’t want to rashly make contact.

Making contact with him, Wang Zijia always felt as if he was a youngster about to unleash the Demon King.

Therefore, after Wang Zijia had completed all the arrangements and checked them multiple times, he left the forbidden land and returned to Sanyuan City.

······

While Wang Zijia was in seclusion for those two days, Sanyuan City was extremely lively.

Some independent cultivators were excited, feeling that Sanyuan City finally had a big shot to rely on;

In contrast, several Crossing Tribulation factions were deeply worried, afraid that Wang Zijia would redistribute the interests of Sanyuan City.

However, after waiting for several days, nothing had happened even after Wang Zijia came out of seclusion.
