Chapter 2290 -164: Magical Combat (Part 1)

Hearing the voice of the young man in the purple robe, Wang Ba’s heart was slightly startled.

“Do you want me to take on the next magical combat?”

His gaze involuntarily swept over the surrounding Crossing Tribulation cultivators.

The aura varied, either gloomy, brilliant, fierce, or gentle… The rules on them also differed noticeably from those of the Cloud Sky Realm, clearly coming from different domains.

Among them, there were early-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivators, but there were also middle-stage ones like True Man Ba, and even one or two whose presence made him feel a chill in his heart. All of them seemed full of Essence and Qi, so by reason, it shouldn’t be his turn to step up.

As if sensing Wang Ba’s doubts, the voice of the young man in the purple robe echoed in his ear again, slightly solemn:

“Without Mahayana intervening, late-stage Crossing Tribulation serves as a stabilizer, and should not act easily, lest it spirals out of control, turning into a great battle.”

“Moreover, the number of Arhats and Bodhisattvas of the Supreme True Buddha far exceeds ours. Even if ordinary cultivators from our side step up, they can always find a countering match against them. Only your methods are varied, not easily restrained… I also hope you can turn the defeat around and buy some time for True Man Gai, the Heavenly Monarch, and Xiahou Heavenly Venerate.”

His voice paused, then he continued:

“Of course, whether victorious or not, our sect will offer Cloud Shells… If, Taoist Friend, you have not yet recovered and cannot step forward, that is beyond our control.”

Hearing these words, Wang Ba immediately understood what happened within the Cloud Sky Sect’s treasury. The other side was clearly aware too, he pondered briefly, then transmitted his message:

“Honored by Taoist Brother’s regard, I shall try my best.”

It’s not for the Cloud Shells, primarily to buy some time for the three Mahayana stage cultivators, aligning with his interests. Although he did not want to attract attention, given the circumstances, and being personally invited by the Master of Cloud Sky Sect, he would not be overly troubled.

In conduct, this is inherent. Some need to be persisted, but some demand changes according to timing, so as not to be obstinate, for without flexibility, what difference is there from a wooden figure?

Upon hearing Wang Ba’s agreement, the young man in the purple robe showed some relief in his eyes.

Then looked towards the water curtain.

Wang Ba, along with the surrounding cultivators, had their attention drawn to the changes within the water curtain as well.

Since Chen Zhongqi was a middle-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivator, a Bodhisattva indeed came from the opposing side, dressed in a golden robe, radiant with Buddhist light, holding a dark red Zen Stick, flying over at once to strike Chen Zhongqi.

“It’s Wisdom Dragon Bodhisattva, this Bodhisattva follows the path of Body Refinement…”

“Though Chen is a Sword Cultivator newly entered the middle-stage Crossing Tribulation, he may not necessarily fear this opponent.”

“However, this opponent likely possesses a top grade Dao Treasure… Chen Zhongqi might be in danger.”

Wang Ba quickly heard the surrounding cultivators discussing.

His gaze landed on the Golden Robe Bodhisattva.

Like the previous Bodhisattvas and Arhats he encountered, the rules emanating from them were beyond his comprehension. Of course, in a magical combat, understanding might not be necessary for action, as long as there’s an absolute disparity between the rules, one can win using the approach of Strength is everything.

Those Bodhisattvas and Arhats who unraveled during combat with him were exactly like this.

Although this is so, having more understanding of these people might provide a better grasp.

He was now observing meticulously.

Meanwhile, within the Outer Realm Void, Chen Zhongqi and Wisdom Dragon Bodhisattva quickly engaged in a struggle.

What Sword Cultivators excel compared to ordinary cultivators in is the astonishing power of Sword Dao.

This applies not only to swords, but equally to blades, spears, axes, and halberds.

However, Chen Zhongqi’s biggest advantage appeared diminished in front of Wisdom Dragon Bodhisattva’s top grade Dao Treasure; the dark red Zen Stick contains overwhelming force, heavy and powerful, once it strikes, the void rolls!

Power far exceeded the sword beams of Chen Zhongqi.

Resulting in the magical combat, Chen Zhongqi as a Sword Cultivator instead had to dodge everywhere, occasionally hitting the opponent, yet with unimpressive power, appearing extremely embarrassed.

This led surrounding cultivators to hold their breath and concentrate without daring to divert their gaze.

Only the young man in the purple robe remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about Chen Zhongqi.

Standing in the crowd’s rear, Wang Ba carefully observed Wisdom Dragon Bodhisattva’s use of rules during the magical combat.

Even though he couldn’t comprehend these rules, he could infer their purpose based on their effects, break them down, find commonalities, and ultimately decode the meaning and function of each fundamental unit.

This was exactly the reverse process of Wang Ba’s initial rule comprehension.

This process, though simple to describe, was extremely difficult to execute.

Perhaps due to lack of basic understanding of these rules, these alien and complex rules appeared utterly chaotic to him, with nowhere to start.

This was fundamentally different from regular rule comprehension, where rules can be seen composed of black and white threads.

The rules on Wisdom Dragon Bodhisattva seem fundamentally different from theirs.

“The fundamental layer of rules that constructs a Domain Sea should only be represented by black and white threads distinguishing Yin and Yang, this is also the so-called ‘the one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things…'”

“Why is there yet another kind?”

Wang Ba grew increasingly puzzled.

But seeing the unfamiliar rules on Wisdom Dragon Bodhisattva reminiscent of the feeling the Immortal Pass Wall gave him.

The rules on the Immortal Pass Wall were like this.

Complicated and chaotic, yet carrying a profound exquisiteness beyond his understanding, giving him the illusion that he could not decipher and comprehend them in a lifetime.

Upon comparison, he increasingly felt that both seemed to originate from the same system.
