Chapter 1861: Chapter 36: Immortal Bone
“What is happening?!”
Wang Ba, Yao Wudi, and the Six-fingered Divine Demon were all astonished watching this scene.
The Double-Pupil Taoist maintained a calm demeanor, with a touch of complexity and a sigh:
“Time has ultimately passed too long, and they have only sustained themselves until now because of the Immortal Blood that maintained them. Once the Immortal Blood is taken back, they naturally cease to exist… Immortal Blood, while being a prison, is also their only chance at survival.”
He shook his head.
Still, there was no sign of any movement from him.
The red-purple pearl that fell into Yu Wuheng’s Primordial Spirit began spinning rapidly.
Little by little towards the Primordial Spirit, it emitted a unique radiance, and under this radiance, Yu Wuheng’s Primordial Spirit, which was about to disintegrate, actually stopped disintegrating, and even showed faint signs of slow recovery.
“This treasure… I don’t remember well, but it seems to be an Innate Dao Treasure capable of suppressing the Primordial Spirit, containing twenty-four Innate Cloud Bans.”
The Double-Pupil Taoist casually introduced the origin of this red-purple pearl.
Wang Ba was slightly shocked in his heart.
Twenty-four Innate Cloud Bans?!
Doesn’t this make it even higher than Yu Wuheng’s Land-Parting Staff?
Such a treasure, used so casually on Yu Wuheng’s body?
In shock, he quickly switched his thoughts and found it quite reasonable.
During the great battle of the All Realms countless years ago, it was unknown how many top cultivators in Crossing Tribulation and Mahayana took action. It was only natural for such treasures to be left behind.
Who knows how many rare treasures Senior Man is hiding in his hands.
However, he quickly refocused his attention and silently contemplated his previous thoughts.
At this time, the Six-fingered Divine Demon suddenly spoke to the Double-Pupil Taoist:
“Why bother to find so many lives to share the Immortal Blood, since these Bone Seeds can be pushed to draw it, why not directly push the Bone Seeds?”
Wang Ba couldn’t help but look at the Six-fingered Divine Demon.
The other’s words echoed his own thoughts.
Since they could attract the Immortal Blood by pushing the Bone Seeds, there was no need to find someone to share it. If worried about drawing all the Immortal Blood and turning the Double-Pupil People into flying ash, then just control the distance and time of the draw so that the will in the Immortal Blood cannot overcome that of the Ancient Cultivators. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
The Double-Pupil Taoist heard this and showed little change on his face, just shook his head:
“It’s not that simple.”
Yet he did not explain what made it complicated, seemingly appearing secretive.
The Six-fingered Divine Demon frowned slightly upon seeing this.
Wang Ba was moved, recalling that the Double-Pupil Taoist never really acted, and that the Double-Pupil People instinctively stayed away from the Bone Seeds. Suddenly, a guess flashed in his mind that he found almost incredible.
“Could it be…”
His gaze discreetly swept over Yao Wudi.
Yao Wudi’s gaze slightly tightened, then he suddenly muttered:
“This monkey is awfully slow.”
Saying so, before anyone noticed, he flew straight out.
He was incredibly fast, and while everyone was chatting, they hadn’t been on guard.
In the blink of an eye, Yao Wudi brushed past the Double-Pupil Taoist!
They crossed, obviously overlapping, yet Yao Wudi flew through silently and effortlessly.
“You…”
The Double-Pupil Taoist finally reacted, his face slightly changed.
The Six-fingered Divine Demon, upon noticing this, was first stunned, then surprised, and finally realized with a sinister touch.
Only Wang Ba’s eyes showed a hint of unsurprise, looking at the Double-Pupil Taoist who was trying to keep calm but still showed some panic, he said solemnly:
“It seems Senior Man has hidden something from us…”
“You may be born from the will of many cultivators, but you have no ability to act, nor do you have a physical entity. Even if you can control these Double-Pupil People, they are also restrained by the Bone Seeds… that’s why you didn’t push the Bone Seeds to collect Immortal Blood, isn’t it?”
That is also why the Double-Pupil Taoist used deception and seduction to lure away the cultivators in the Guantao Realm instead of capturing them.
Similarly, it is why he could appear inside the Little Cang World out of nowhere without even Cang Fuzi noticing.
Of course, knowing this is enough, no need to elaborate.
Upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, the Six-fingered Divine Demon couldn’t help but squint at the Double-Pupil Taoist.
And the Double-Pupil Taoist, who had his greatest secret revealed by Wang Ba, managed to regain composure quickly despite a flash of panic, though his face bore a trace of gravity and wariness. The surrounding Double-Pupil People gathered remotely, but did not dare approach like before.
He looked at Wang Ba, while also scanning the Six-fingered Divine Demon, his tone low with a hint of warning:
“You’re not wrong, I indeed cannot act directly, but neither can you harm me. Moreover, only I know how to leave this Immortal Forbidden Land. That Boundary Sea Vortex can be passed through, but without my method, you still won’t be able to leave!”
“I just want to fulfill my long-cherished wish, to break free of this bondage, don’t force me into bloodshed!”
The atmosphere was silently tense.
Listening to the Double-Pupil Taoist’s somewhat hollow warning.
Wang Ba pondered for a while, then suddenly spoke:
“What if we help Senior Man push these Bone Seeds, and recover the consciousness of these Ancient Cultivators?”
“Once it’s done, will you let us leave?”
The Double-Pupil Taoist was caught off guard.
