Chapter 2597: Chapter 266: Realm Sea Final Chapter _5
Hearing this, Taiyuan slightly shook his head, glanced at the direction outside the Realm Sea, and said calmly:
“The rules of the Realm Sea constrain me. Although I am the Lord of the Realm Sea, I cannot enter or exit at will. I can only divide part of the True Spirit and spread it into this Realm Sea, hoping it can be of some use. Unfortunately, I scattered many, but only a few truly emerged. This is the first reason.”
“Secondly, whether it’s Lu He or Tibo, they are just two pieces on a larger chessboard.”
“They are the chess pieces, and I am the observer. How could an observer make a move?”
“At most, I can’t resist saying a few more words.”
“Therefore, from beginning to end, I almost never intervened. The only identity I truly participated in was within Zhang’s Ruins as part of the Laowen Sect.”
“As for the identity of Qin Lin, its role was actually dispensable.”
“If you look at it now, at first, it was just to provide you with an opportunity for growth.”
“But initially, many descendants were left under the identity of Qin Lin, but you were the only one who truly emerged.”
Wang Ba remained silent, inevitably thinking of the horn within Zhang’s Ruins.
Initially, he thought this horn was used to harness the power of Zhang’s Ruins. Until this moment, associating it with his True Spirit being taken, he suddenly realized that the horn’s original purpose was waiting for him to be ambushed by Tianshang Buddha, forcing out the True Spirit…
He couldn’t help but ask:
“So by bringing the Little Cang World into the Immortal Forbidden Land, was that also part of the senior’s calculations?”
Upon hearing this, Taiyuan couldn’t help but chuckle, shook his head, and smiled wryly:
“You got one thing wrong.”
“You’re viewing it in order, but I view it in reverse order.”
“In reverse?”
Wang Ba was slightly taken aback and quickly realized: “Inferring the cause from the effect?”
“Exactly.”
Taiyuan was quite gratified by Wang Ba’s quick reaction and nodded with a smile:
“Lu He and Tibo’s chess play was so exquisite that even they, being in it, could sometimes hardly see the full picture. Only I, as an observer, could see it clearly.”
“With the establishment of Duanhai Cliff, for Lu He to leave, the only place was the whirlpool within the Realm Sea. So that whirlpool was actually a flaw intentionally left for Lu He Immortal Monarch by Tibo, and Lu He Immortal Monarch knew this but had no choice but to go through it.”
“But why did he stay with me instead of directly leaving the Third Realm Sea after Lu He Immortal Monarch exited the Chaotic Sea?”
Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask.
Taiyuan shook his head and said:
“He couldn’t leave—firstly, he only retained his True Spirit at the time, with much of his strength still within the Little Cang World. It was challenging to cross the boundaries of the Second and Third Realm Seas with just the True Spirit, so he had to wait. And any slight misstep would alert Tibo, rendering previous efforts futile.”
Wang Ba frowned slightly:
“But wasn’t he still discovered by Tibo?”
Taiyuan nodded: “This is the brilliance of Tibo’s methods. No matter how Lu He Immortal Monarch tried to avoid it, there was always a move ahead of him.”
“Perhaps Lu He Immortal Monarch himself understood this but still harbored a little bit of luck, wanting to give it a try.”
“In this, the special rule environment within the Chaotic Sea was another move by Tibo, intended to limit Lu He Immortal Monarch. Whether reincarnating or possessing, it was hard not to be impacted by these rules under the unique environment of the Chaotic Sea. He didn’t even need to eradicate Lu He Immortal Monarch; just delaying the time achieved his goal.”
“Lu He Immortal Monarch’s method was to use elixirs he left many years ago, letting Taoist Man blaze a trail for him.”
“Once Taoist Man died, he naturally understood Tibo’s tactics, and then he leveraged your power to smoothly escape the Chaotic Sea.”
“But alas, Tibo’s techniques were ultimately one step ahead.”
Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask:
“Why didn’t anyone from the outside come to his aid?”
But as the words left his mouth, he immediately realized.
The lofty beings within the Realm Sea, once deciding to have Lu He Immortal Monarch and Tibo temper each other, naturally couldn’t have sent people to assist.
Hearing this, Taiyuan responded calmly:
“They can’t get in.”
“Can’t get in?”
Wang Ba suddenly remembered what Cheng Lianzi had mentioned before, that no immortals had been coming to or going from the Third Realm Sea for many years, which seemed related to what Taiyuan said.
After pondering for a while, he couldn’t help but ask:
“Senior, is there a reason you’re telling me these things?”
Taiyuan smiled and nodded:
“I see you’re not planning to go to the Second Realm Sea with Lu He and Tibo. Have you grown weary of the conflicts there?”
Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, then nodded without concealment:
“Right now, I don’t particularly want to go, but perhaps I’ll change my mind in the future.”
Taiyuan smiled:
“There’s nothing particularly good about the Second Realm Sea… Are you interested in succeeding me?”
“Succeed you?”
Wang Ba was slightly stunned, then suddenly remembered what Lu He Immortal Monarch had said before and quickly realized:
“You mean for me to succeed you in bearing the Realm Sea of Origin Dao?”
“Smart.”
Taiyuan nodded in appreciation, not withholding praise.
Wang Ba immediately frowned and said:
“Does that mean, like you, I also won’t be able to easily enter the Realm Sea again?”
Taiyuan nodded and said:
“Naturally, if I could enter, I wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble. Once you become the Lord of the Realm Sea, you become one with it. It’s like a person having a worm in their stomach; you can’t directly reach into your stomach and pull it out.”
This analogy was quite vivid. Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, then asked:
