Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 2270 - 158: Encirclement

"So many Boundary Sea Vortices, which one leads to the Cloud Sky Realm?"

At the back of the crowd, the only female Cultivator in the team, True Man Nie, stepped forward gracefully, examining the dozens of Boundary Sea Vortices in the void here, her brows slightly furrowed.

From within the vortices, fragments of stone occasionally flew out, clearly transported by the Boundary Sea Vortex from a very distant place.

True Man Ba also furrowed his brows slightly, his gaze sweeping over the vortices, and said in a deep voice:

"Let’s wait a moment, I’ll go take a look."

The Boundary Sea Vortices appeared and disappeared intermittently, constantly changing. Although he had passed through once before, he still needed to carefully identify them to accurately find the way.

Saying this, he flew over.

At this moment, Wang Ba suddenly spoke:

"Taoist Brother Ba, I’ll accompany you."

True Man Ba was momentarily startled by his words, but did not refuse, and nodded, saying:

"Taoist Friend, be careful, don’t fall into these Boundary Sea Vortices, they might transport you to a dangerous place."

Wang Ba slightly nodded.

The two of them then stepped forward and began to observe one by one.

It was Wang Ba’s first time seeing so many Boundary Sea Vortices, so he observed them with particular care.

Recalling the many forms of the Boundary Sea Vortices described by Taoist Man, he quickly transformed Taoist Man’s knowledge into his own understanding while searching for one that patterned similarly to the Boundary Sea Vortex next to the Demon Capturing Path in the Chaotic Sea back then.

After a search, Wang Ba felt a bit disappointed in his heart.

Among the dozens of Boundary Sea Vortices, none were similar to that.

"It seems that I’ll have to rearrange and adjust it myself... but it might take quite some time."

Wang Ba’s gaze once again swept over these Boundary Sea Vortices, memorizing the entrance patterns of these Boundary Sea Vortices in his mind, trying to deduce and adjust them mentally.

Just then, he abruptly heard True Man Ba’s somewhat joyous voice:

"This is it for sure!"

Wang Ba turned his gaze toward the voice and saw True Man Ba standing above an inconspicuous Boundary Sea Vortex, calculating with his fingers, a happy expression on his face.

True Man Nie and the dozen other early-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivators quickly gathered upon hearing this, looking at the Boundary Sea Vortex below. True Man Nie was still a bit uneasy:

"Taoist Friend Ba, are you sure it’s this one?"

Although questioned by True Man Nie, True Man Ba, who was always tolerant toward cultivators of the same realm, smiled upon hearing this and said:

"Although there have been some changes here, I have been here once. Among so many Boundary Sea Vortices, only this one closely resembles the Boundary Sea Vortex outside the Cloud Sky Realm. It’s not a hundred percent certain, but there’s at least an eighty-eight percent chance!"

"With a bit of adjustment later, we should be able to cross."

Seeing True Man Ba so confident, True Man Nie no longer said much, nodded:

"Shall we go then?"

True Man Ba was just about to nod, but suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Wang Ba, with a look of inquiry in his eyes:

"Taoist Friend Taiyi, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba thought for a moment and asked in return:

"Do you know how far the Boundary Sea Vortex outside the Cloud Sky Realm is from the Cloud Sky Realm?"

True Man Ba had only asked out of politeness, but upon hearing this and sensing that Wang Ba seemed to have other thoughts, he hesitated, slightly straightened his expression, and pondered:

"Naturally, it’s not too close, but at our pace, it would take at most about 15 minutes... Are you worried about something, Taoist Friend?"

Wang Ba nodded:

"The Supreme True Buddha has besieged the Cloud Sky Realm, and although this Boundary Sea Vortex is inconspicuous, it can’t withstand the attention of those with ulterior motives. I’m concerned that at the other end of the Boundary Sea Vortex, there might be people of the Supreme True Buddha guarding it."

Upon these words, the surrounding cultivators all felt a chill in their hearts.

Even True Man Ba and True Man Nie couldn’t help but have slight changes in their expressions.

True Man Ba hesitated and said:

"That... shouldn’t be the case. That Boundary Sea Vortex is not far from the Cloud Sky Realm. If even this Boundary Sea Vortex were guarded by people of the Supreme True Buddha, the situation in the Cloud Sky Realm might be far more dangerous than we imagined. It shouldn’t be so, besides, we haven’t heard such news before."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba frowned and remained silent.

In this Soul Falling place, the rules are chaotic, and news from the outside can’t come in. We can’t be carefree just because there is no news.

True Man Nie also spoke at this time:

"Taoist Friend Ba is right, with just 15 minutes’ travel time from the exit of that Boundary Sea Vortex to the Cloud Sky Realm, even if we do encounter something, the perceptions of True Man Gai, Heavenly Monarch Chao, and Demon Lord Xiahou, these three Mahayana Cultivators, can reach it in an instant, so there is no need to worry too much."

Hearing this, only then did Wang Ba’s brows slightly relax, and he nodded:

"In that case, I might have been overly cautious."

True Man Nie shook her head at these words:

"That’s not what I meant. Being cautious is, after all, not a bad thing." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

She slightly turned her head and looked at True Man Ba:

"What do you think, Taoist Friend Ba?"

True Man Ba also nodded:

"Taoist Friend Taiyi’s concerns are also valid, being cautious is a prudent measure, if things are really not as expected, having an extra layer of preparation won’t hurt."

The surrounding cultivators also nodded upon hearing this.

To have made it to this day, though their personalities might differ, most of them are cautious in nature. Even if Wang Ba hadn’t voiced his concerns, they had already made some precautions anyway. Upon hearing this, some immediately suggested forming a formation to move out.

This time, True Man Ba did not speak harshly, as the matter concerned safety, and no one dared to be careless.

Immediately, the cultivator who suggested forming a formation took out the necessary array flags and adjusted the formation on the spot, a task not too difficult for those at the early-stage Crossing Tribulation realm.

After a bit of practice, they each held the array flags, forming an unnamed formation, hovering over the Boundary Sea Vortex.

True Man Ba looked around at everyone, his expression solemn, saying:

"Everyone, once we step into this Boundary Sea Vortex, there will be no turning back. If anyone is hesitant, there’s still time to withdraw now."
