Capítulo 2481: Chapter 229: Origin (Part 3)

“It seems that if I were to reincarnate, I would most likely turn into an Innate Divine Demon, or perhaps a wild Spirit Beast wandering in the Realm Sea… eventually hunted or captured by a cultivator.”

“Heaven truly spares no one.”

He rarely let out a bitter smile.

When he was nurturing Spirit Beasts back then, he never imagined that he might walk this path someday—it truly is a cycle of cause and effect, for retribution never fails.

But just at this moment, he suddenly felt something, his consciousness glanced around and saw a small particle floating in the water, gradually disintegrating until it completely vanished, merging into the ‘seawater,’ without a trace of emotion leaking out…

Wang Ba’s heart sank!

“The True Spirit hasn’t reincarnated but has become nourishment for the Realm Sea of Origin?!”

“Then won’t I also…”

Having sought immortality all his life, is this the ultimate outcome?

He fell silent, a sigh arising in his heart but unable to restrain.

Yet such a sigh quickly returned to calm in an instant.

The greatest value of extensive experiences in one’s life enables one to face whatever happens in the world with ease.

So does he.

Life and death he has long experienced, and though the current situation may be a first, to him, it is nothing more than that.

Thus, after a brief ripple, he returned to peace and composure.

But tranquility and composure do not mean acceptance.

Wang Ba swiftly surveyed his surroundings, his mind perfectly clear:

“Even reincarnation, forgetting all past experiences, is better than being worn away utterly, unable to preserve even a shred of True Spirit…”

This perhaps is the greatest obsession for living beings to exist in the world—to survive by any means.

Once this thought emerged, it instantly focused all his attention.

His spirit was lifted, quickly contemplating countermeasures.

Here, impossible to discern up or down, left or right, nor identify where the exit lies.

But he understood clearly that staying here, obliteration was just a matter of time.

“Cannot linger here, lingering here sooner or later will be like these other True Spirits!”

Realizing this, Wang Ba didn’t hesitate, swiftly swam towards the direction he saw the ‘footprint’ earlier, like a fish swimming in the deep sea.

He guessed that it was where the water surface was.

However, this movement made him clearly feel the rapid depletion of his True Spirit.

“Cannot stop!”

Feeling memories quickly blurring, even consciousness faintly sinking, Wang Ba tried his utmost to uplift his spirit.

No mana, no Primordial Spirit, nor Dao Domain…

Relying solely on a bit of will, rapidly heading towards the direction of the ‘water surface,’ breakthrough, breakthrough, break through again!

He had completely forgotten about time, even forgetting himself.

In his vision, there was only the gradually approaching water surface…

Yet the speed of breakthrough became slower and slower, clearly extremely close to the water surface, yet it felt like a distance of a thousand miles.

Fatigue, exhaustion…

In this bewilderment, he suddenly heard the chattering voices from above the water surface, seemingly people conversing.

His heart surged, and on the verge of his limits, he suddenly made a strenuous leap!

Splosh—

In that instant, his sight finally broke through the water surface, seeing the ‘sky’ above!

A patch of deep blue, as brilliant as a starry sky.

Time seemed to stand still.

He felt his last bit of strength, at this moment, completely exhausted…

He felt himself falling—

Plop!

Gurgle gurgle… 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

“Ultimately, did I fail after all…”

A faint sigh swept through Wang Ba’s heart.

Consciousness slowly sinking.

At the last moment.

He saw a slender, jade-like white hand cutting through the gray-blue water surface, reaching in…

Beside his ear, he faintly heard some surprised voices from above the water surface:

“How did this boy end up here…”

…

Outside Zhang’s Ruins.

In the void.

Heavenly Monarch Chao and the Master of Quiet Cave both had extremely solemn expressions.

“I don’t believe he would fall just like this; if the True Spirit is absent from the Realm Sea, it might have fallen into the Realm Sea of Origin. He is a Crossing Tribulation Cultivator, he should be able to hold out for some time. I’ll go find him!”

The Master of Quiet Cave said deeply.

Heavenly Monarch Chao nodded solemnly:

“That indeed seems to be the last option… a favor I owe to a Taoist Friend.”

He may be a Mahayana Cultivator, but can only perceive the Realm Sea of Origin, trying to find someone within the Realm Sea of Origin is still separated by a layer.

Only entities like the Master of Quiet Cave, who inherently formed from within the Realm Sea, can walk within it safely.

“You protect my physical body!”

Listening to the way the other referred to him, the Master of Quiet Cave gave Heavenly Monarch Chao a deep look, hesitating no longer, he separated a True Spirit, clear as primitive essence, brows and eyes clearly discernible.

Heavenly Monarch Chao hadn’t expected his counterpart to trust him this much, momentarily shocked, subsequently realizing the significance attached to Taiyi, he fell silent for a moment, then seriously declared:

“I, Chao, vow upon the Realm Sea, as long as I am here, no harm shall come to a single hair of our Taoist Friend!”

The Master of Quiet Cave nodded.

Then left Heavenly Monarch Chao and Wu Monkey King to guard Wang Ba’s physical body, while his True Spirit merged into the void, rushing towards the Realm Sea of Origin.

Splosh—

In an instant, he plummeted into the dark gray ‘seawater.’

Appearing as a colossal entity, swiftly moving within this sea.

With a thought, surrounding water suddenly accelerated, stirring vast torrents.

Sensing particles within this water current, bypassing fish, even among them seeing others like himself, colossal entities…

After rounds of patrols, he finally stopped.

Within his mind, filled with deep disappointment:

“No trace.”

“Could it be his True Spirit truly has perished?”
