Chapter 1733: Chapter 153: That ‘Person’ (End of This Volume)_2

‘Xun FuJun’ suddenly turned his head, looking at Wang Ba opposite him.

His expression remained calm, a calmness so unsettling it made one’s heart race.

But this time, ‘Xun FuJun’ dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

His face twisted for a moment, and in the next moment, ‘Shao Yangzi’, with an air of tranquility, appeared before Wang Ba.

A gentle and serene smile rested on his face.

He shook his head and sighed:

“Among the Innate Divine Demons, talents like you are extremely rare.”

Wang Ba’s face was calm, but his heart gave an unusual leap.

Yet ‘Shao Yangzi’ offered no explanation, merely flicked his sleeve gently.

The water mirror before them vanished instantly.

In its place, there appeared a tea garden full of greenery, a tea table, a tea stove, spring water, and the fragrance of tea…

‘Shao Yangzi’ was the first to sit down around the table stove, then smiled at Wang Ba, raising his hand in invitation.

“I’ve learned many arts from you cultivators, but my greatest love is this art of tea. Please, join me.”

Wang Ba sat down naturally.

As if the previous clash was just an illusion.

He took the teacup pushed by the other.

Lifted the cup and sipped gently.

“How is it?”

Under ‘Shao Yangzi’s somewhat expectant gaze, Wang Ba gently nodded but then showed a hint of regret.

“Little Friend Wang, do you have any insights?”

‘Shao Yangzi’ couldn’t help but ask aloud.

Wang Ba didn’t hold back and said earnestly:

“This tea is clear and sweetly fragrant, unlike common worldly things, yet it contains no spiritual energy, succeeding solely through its taste. Of all I’ve tasted in my life, none can compare to even a tenth of it, but the pity is that its flavor is fleeting, vanishing quickly, just like the fleeting moments of heaven and earth.”

Upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, ‘Shao Yangzi’ was momentarily stunned, then shook his head with admiration:

“You are not a tea enthusiast, yet you see too clearly through it…”

The smile on his face faded, and looking at Wang Ba, he solemnly said:

“Since this is the case, there’s no need for us to test each other anymore. How about we speak frankly?”

“I would desire that, yet I dare not presume.”

Wang Ba remained composed, with a slight smile, yet in his eyes, there was not a ripple, calmly asking:

“May I ask how you are addressed, Taoist Friend?”

‘Shao Yangzi’ replied composedly:

“Before the heavens and earth, I existed, supposed to be nameless, yet named, a mere dust in the Realm Sea, known as ‘Cang Fuzi’.”

“Wang presumes, and addresses you as Taoist Friend Cang Fuzi.”

Wang Ba gently raised his hand.

Cang Fuzi still maintained the appearance of ‘Shao Yangzi’, chuckling softly:

“As you wish, a name is but an illusion…Little Friend, you came alone, you must have many questions, but I also am curious, from when did you suspect my existence in this realm?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba didn’t conceal anything:

“Since I severed my seven emotions and six desires, merging with the Ice Dao Incarnation, I deduced too many coincidences: Kingdom of Immortals, True Martial Cultivators…if it was the creation of the heavens, it seemed too much, but with external intervention, everything made sense.”

Cang Fuzi, upon hearing this, finally seemed to understand with a bit of belated realization:

“So that’s how it is, indeed, I was too hasty.”

He then asked:

“What are your questions? I shall hold nothing back.”

Wang Ba didn’t hold back, fixing his gaze on Cang Fuzi’s eyes, and earnestly asked:

“First question…you might have already guessed it.”

Cang Fuzi was startled, then nodded, as if understanding what was on Wang Ba’s mind:

“You want to ask if your ability to transport lifespan comes from me?”

At this moment, despite having an inkling, hearing Cang Fuzi’s words made Wang Ba’s heart tremble.

But soon, he calmed down.

Throughout his life, the ability to transport lifespan helped him immensely; it is no exaggeration to say that reaching today, this ability played a crucial role, so he was cautious, never daring to expose it.

However, times have changed.

This ability is still important now, but no longer the most vital.

He realized even more clearly that the most important thing is always himself, who mastered this ability.

He nodded slowly yet calmly.

Seeing this, Cang Fuzi showed a look of helplessness, reciting a past that greatly shocked Wang Ba:

“You should know, occasionally Innate Divine Demons enter the realm from the Outer Realm, embodying different Dao Intention, naturally carrying unique talents. When you entered the realm back then, appearing ordinary, it was precisely because you collided with the ‘Lifespan Creation’ Dao and seized it…”

“Innate Divine Demons…why does Taoist Friend Cang Fuzi think I am an Innate Divine Demon?”

Wang Ba finally couldn’t hold back and asked sternly.

Cang Fuzi shook his head and said:

“You came from the Outer Realm, inherently wise and clairvoyant, naturally, you are an Innate Divine Demon. As for where you originate or why you came here, that is the creation of the Realm Sea, which I do not concern myself with.”

Wang Ba fell silent immediately, thoughts tumbling continuously in his heart.

Cang Fuzi, continuing from before, said:

“The Dao you seized isn’t particularly important. Few life forms inside the realm grasp it; you took a small part of it, which isn’t conspicuous, so I was indifferent. Bound by the constraints of the rules, I couldn’t intervene directly, thus planned to reclaim it naturally upon your death. Little Cang World would reclaim it once more.”

“I had not expected you to painstakingly seek cultivation methods and persist for many years, causing the ‘Lifespan Creation’ Dao to gradually become visible, giving me a glimmer of hope. I had foreseen there would be a day of calamity, so naturally, I had to accumulate ways to defend against it…I observed your soul and thoughts, thus transforming this Creation Dao into the lifespan transporting ability, supplemented with textual reminders.”

“I have essentially transferred all my authority in this Dao to you.”
