Chapter 2284 -162: Identity (Part 2)

The purple-robed youth’s eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, then he spoke solemnly:

“The power of the Supreme True Buddha is vast; even with the combined strength of all cultivators, it is difficult to resist. Moreover, the Tianshang Buddha possesses boundless mana, few can match him. As such, Heavenly Monarch and True Man Gai of my sect, along with the Xiahou Heavenly Venerate, are currently in seclusion, collaborating in forging a treasure to counter the Supreme True Buddha.”

“At present, I’m afraid I cannot meet with Taoist Friend.”

“Forging a treasure?”

Wang Ba heard this and felt a slight unease in his heart.

Within the Realm Sea, what treasure could contend with a Mahayana cultivator?

Furthermore, the Supreme True Buddha possesses a plethora of Dao treasures within the Sea of Chaos Realm. Just the quantity of top-grade Dao treasures accumulated over the years might be an exceedingly astonishing number.

Who could rival the extravagance of the Supreme True Buddha?

Although he was confused, he refrained from asking too much, being new to the place.

He could only nod and say:

“I see, it seems I have come at an inopportune moment, and thus missed meeting True Man Gai… ”

The purple-robed youth, perceptive as he was, expressed a hint of surprise:

“Do you wish to meet True Man Gai? Why?”

He asked straightforwardly. Wang Ba was about to answer, but suddenly remembered the peculiar stance Heavenly Monarch Chao had when speaking about breaking the Immortal Pass and the advice given to him. With a shift in his thoughts, he respectfully said:

“I have long heard of True Man Gai’s great name and hold him in high esteem. However, since he is in seclusion, I can only regret the missed opportunity.”

Hearing this, the purple-robed youth did not doubt him. Although True Man Gai was not famous among younger cultivators, he was well-known among Crossing Tribulation cultivators outside the realm and had a prominent reputation.

He reassured him, saying:

“The Supreme True Buddha has surrounded our realm for several years, pressing us tightly. It is inevitable that a great battle will ensue, and you will certainly have the opportunity to meet True Man Gai then, Taoist Friend.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba’s mind suddenly flashed back to the ambush he encountered upon arriving from the Soul Falling abyss, causing his heart to sink slightly.

The realm sea vortex outside the Cloud Sky Realm was already very close. The inability to control even such a nearby distance revealed the current, unfavorable situation of the Cloud Sky Realm. Although not yet breached, it was indeed dire, even abysmal.

“Why does the Supreme True Buddha encircle but not attack?”

As they walked and talked, Wang Ba couldn’t help but furrow his brows:

“According to Sect Leader Bai, since the Cloud Sky Realm is no match for the Supreme True Buddha, they should have already flattened it…”

He hesitated for a moment, then chose another word:

“Should have entered the realm by now, right?”

The purple-robed youth remained calm and said:

“No need for formality, you are a disciple of the Heavenly Monarch, which makes you and me of the same generation. However, I might be a few years older, so you can call me Dao Brother… As for why they encircle but do not attack, they probably fear a situation similar to the previous attacks on the Canlong Realm and Void Demon Realm, where both realms were destroyed, but the Heavenly Monarch and Xiahou Heavenly Venerate, these two Mahayana cultivators, managed to escape. They have since continually harassed the Supreme True Buddha’s forces, preventing them from advancing. If the Cloud Sky Realm were to be destroyed, True Man Gai and the other two would also escape…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Wang Ba quickly understood his implication, and was startled:

“So, they intend to trap all three Mahayana cultivators in this realm?”

The purple-robed youth leisurely walked towards a revealed Taoist field in the distance, nodding:

“With the power and foundation of that group of fake monks under the Supreme True Buddha, there’s no need to hurry. By steadily closing in, they can force the three Mahayana cultivators to reveal themselves, and then seize the opportunity to eliminate them. After that, the Cloud Sky Realm would simply be a peach ready for the picking.”

“In truth, the Supreme True Buddha has already laid his cards on the table for us.”

Perhaps due to his connection with Heavenly Monarch Chao, he spoke quite a bit to Wang Ba.

Hearing this, Wang Ba’s expression changed subtly.

If what Sect Leader Bai said were true, the Cloud Sky Realm stood no chance against the Supreme True Buddha.

Yet, with a change in his thoughts, realizing how calmly the youth spoke of the predicament facing the Cloud Sky Realm and understanding the intentions of the Supreme True Buddha, it was evident that they must have formulated a counterstrategy.

As for what that strategy might be, it was clear the other party wouldn’t divulge it easily.

Sensibly, he refrained from inquiring further. Then, with slight hesitation, he offered:

“Sect Lea… Dao Brother, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask.”

Hearing this, the purple-robed youth paused slightly, turned, and smiled:

“As soon as Taoist Friend Taiyi emerged, he was already a great help. If not for your probing of that area and its personnel, we wouldn’t have known they had laid so many traps. We would have suffered significant losses once the battle erupted.”

At this, it seemed he suddenly remembered something:

“Ah, I nearly forgot. Our realm has widely invited fellow Daoists to aid us, and we have specially opened up the treasure trove. With the Merit from slaying several Bodhisattvas, you might be able to exchange it for something useful…”

Hearing this, Wang Ba felt his spirits lift. Recalling Chen Zhongqi’s mention of ‘several realm marrows,’ he couldn’t help but feel tempted, saying ashamedly:

“I fear I’m undeserving…”

The purple-robed youth, showing great generosity, responded calmly:

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony as family. I’ll have Zhong Qi take you there right away, lest something you fancy gets snatched up first…”

Coincidentally, Chen Zhongqi and some Cloud Sky Realm cultivators were accompanying a group of cultivators who hurriedly flew over.

Soon, he heard the summons from the purple-robed youth and promptly descended beside the two.

The purple-robed youth paused slightly, glanced at Wang Ba, and showed a hint of embarrassment:
