Capítulo 2544: Chapter 250: Spirit Within the Ruins (Part 3)
Wang Ba's face showed no change upon hearing this. He shook his head and responded:
“Senior, you've got it wrong. It's true I've approached you with a plea, but don't assume I'm helpless without you. On the contrary, our fates are linked. Should misfortune strike me, escape would elude you too. Think about it: I'm already caught in the plot woven by those two, and tying myself to you now means you could be ensnared in it as well. Can you truly dodge their machinations?”
“Furthermore, if my guess holds, you plan to harness the Immortal’s Remains to collect the thoughts of the creatures in these ruins, aiming for Dao via the Ghost Immortal path. Yet with Buddhism dominating the entire Third Realm Sea, how will your Ghost Immortal way rise above this Realm Sea?”
Though Wang Ba couldn't glimpse the giant shadow's face, he sensed it plunge into contemplation after his words.
Wang Ba waited patiently, unhurried.
At last, the entity in Zhang’s Ruins uttered coldly:
“How do you possess such knowledge?”
Wang Ba paused briefly, startled by the other's worry, then grinned and replied:
“Every plot has its counter. No scenario here proves utterly dire. The peril gripping the Third Realm Sea presents a golden chance for you, Senior.”
“Your Ghost Immortal pursuit aims high, yet fulfilling it could demand endless ages.”
“I understand you shelter numerous Cultivators here to draw in their Cultivation insights, fueling your grand ascent without the backlash of blocking their ways, which is why you hide away.”
“But if the Supreme True Buddha merges the four Great Realms of Duanhai Cliff and all other powers in this Realm Sea, transcendence will slip from your grasp.”
“Why not grasp this moment to step forth? Things can't worsen. When the coiling dragon soars skyward, you might breach into the Second Realm Sea and rebuild!”
While Wang Ba talked, the giant shadow's eyes gleamed faintly, revealing doubt blended with allure and inner conflict.
Wang Ba kept his tone steady, ramping up the urgency:
“This intrigue engulfs the whole Third Realm Sea; none can remain detached, yourself included. Even sideline observation seems improbable. And if the Supreme True Buddha forges a Buddha Kingdom here, they'd never tolerate your presence. The decision rests with you, no further words needed.”
Like the final weight crushing the camel, after momentary quiet, the giant shadow spoke deliberately:
“I refuse to meddle in those two’s plot… Beyond that, what task do you set for me?”
No direct consent was voiced, yet Wang Ba grasped the implication instantly and, without hesitation, declared:
“My goal is simple and steers clear of disrupting those two’s scheme. Simply seal off the three Dharma Realms of that Supreme True Buddha, and I'll manage the rest.”
“Should the scheme shatter, transcendence isn't assured, but you'll at least find respite.”
To Wang Ba's astonishment, the giant shadow shook its head faintly and stated:
“Transcendence isn't my aim. Cultivation's road depends on one's own efforts. The Second Realm Sea may prove harsh; tranquility in this Third Realm Sea could suit better.”
“Regarding those three Dharma Realms, I hold some knowledge.”
“Still, battling them lies beyond me.”
Wang Ba's gaze sharpened:
“What do you mean you can't battle them?”
The giant shadow intoned deeply:
“These Immortal’s Remains belonged to a Profound Immortal in life. Upon death, the Realm Sea embraced them as a Dharma Realm. I dwell within, borrowing some power despite claiming it, but mobility eludes me unless you lure those three Dharma Realms here.”
“Dwell, immobile?”
Wang Ba furrowed his brow lightly, yet an idea sparked soon after.
