Chapter 252: Chapter 49 Living Hell i
Wang Ba had already noticed when he took action earlier.
The person was not employing the “Yin Ghost”, the most commonly used method of the Incense-burning Dao Cultivators from the Yin God lineage, but rather a Magic Tool.
And he was not employing any soul-related spells.
At the time, Wang Ba didn’t have time to consider it too much. Given his inexperience in fighting and worry about information leakage, almost the moment he noticed the existence of the other party, he instantly unleashed the majority of his magical powers.
In the hasty situation, he didn’t even have time to release his Spirit Beasts.
His only aim was to possibly immobilize the other party.
Looking back on the brief clash now, Wang Ba suddenly realized that the opponent was completely countering his spells with his physical body.
Even the initial two or three attacks landed on the person inflicted no damage at all.
Maybe because of this, this mysterious cultivator did not rush to counteract and seemed to prepare to stand his ground and act later, which ironically allowed Wang Ba ample time to deploy all his spells.
Under the intensive overlay of more than ten second-tier spells, even if his physical body was strikingly powerful, the opponent’s flesh and blood still got deeply shattered.
After the second-tier high powder power spell Jade Dew and the hidden Iris Invisible Needles rang the final death knell, the opponent could not even make a counterattack and died filled with resentment.
There was an element of luck involved.
But more of it was because the formidable physical power of the opponent gave him a false sense of security, due to which he could not organize a valid counterattack at the earliest.
This was the main reason why Wang Ba was able to defeat this person in such a short time.
Otherwise, considering the aura on the opponent that was decidedly stronger than Master Gao, Wang Ba could only win by calling out the Wu Monkey King.
He quickly reviewed the fight that just took place.
At the same time, Wang Ba immediately released an evolved Mountain Moving Ape, Wu 1, and ordered it to investigate.
Receiving the command, the Mountain Moving Ape unwillingly used all four limbs and leaped to the corpse of the mysterious cultivator, loosely examined the body, and picked up something out of curiosity to gnaw on it.
“Hurry up!”
Wang Ba commanded.
Only then did Wu 1 unwillingly dragged the corpse and landed in front of Wang Ba after few hops.
Wang Ba leaned over to inspect.
The opponent was indeed dead, so dead that even his soul couldn’t escape after being saturated with magical attacks.
His clothes were tom and ragged, stained with blood that turned a burnt black and dark red from being charred and steamed, that the patterns were unrecognizable.
Feeling the remaining mid-stage Foundation Establishment fluctuations from the opponent’s body, Wang Ba didn’t have much emotion.
His Spiritual Sense then scanned and picked up a storage ring from the opponent’s finger.
This ring remained intact from such an intense magical assault. On the surface of the ring, there was a faint image of a “mountain”.
A thought sparked in Wang Ba’s mind as he finally understood the origin of this person.
“A person from the Mountain Sea Sect?”
The Mountain Sea Sect is one of the five sects in the Chen State, only it advocates the strengthening of the physical body.
The sect was divided into two lineages: the Mountain and the Sea. The Mountain lineage mainly focused on Body Cultivation, while the Sea lineage was primarily focused on Qi Refining.
The pattern on this ring represented the Mountain lineage.
Given the formidable physical strength of the mysterious cultivator who was able to withstand several second-tier spells, his identity became self-explanatory.
What puzzled Wang Ba was, why would a disciple of the Mountain Sea Sect come to a place held by the incense-burning Dao Cultivator?
He faintly thought of a possibility.
“Could it be that the five sects of Chen State are behind the Incense Fire Dao?”
Thinking of this possibility, Wang Ba didn’t know what to say.
If this was indeed true, then it’s no different from playing with fire.
The saying, playing with fire you get burnt, is not a new wording.
Once the Incense Fire Dao gains power, they won’t just swallow the Tianmen Cult, they will also swallow the five sects.
“This place is getting more dangerous!”
Wang Ba sighed internally.
He was powerless to do anything about it, and could only make haste to find an object to bear his Second Dantian so he could get away as soon as possible.
Compared to conventional Qi Refiners, the souls of Body Cultivators are without a doubt, weaker. Although he was at the middle-stage Foundation Establishment, the prohibition of the soul left on the storage ring was easily broken by Wang Ba.
He glanced at it and surprisingly found some valuable second-tier spirit materials inside.
There were other items such as Spirit Stones, gold paper rubbings, elixirs, etc.
What were missing were magic tools and talismans that are usually seen in Qi Refiners.
Wang Ba was not surprised.
Body Cultivators have always advocated that all great power belongs to the physical body, and magic tools and talismans are just external objects.
Thus, they usually have a great deal of confidence in their own bodies, firmly believing in the principle that strength is everything.
That’s not wrong, but in Wang Ba’s view, the so-called principle of strength is everything is just a superficial theory.
Apart from bullying those who are lower in realm, how many people can achieve strength is everything on the same level?
Like Zhao Feng, he was certainly one who could.
But according to Wang Ba’s not so extensive experience, so far he has only met one such person, that’s Zhao Feng.
“But, if it is used to enhance one’s body, it’s not wrong either since it provides more safety.”
Thinking about this, Wang Ba was tempted as well.
Although the cultivation of the physical body of Body Cultivator is incredibly difficult, once achieved, it provides a full sense of safety.
This appears to be a feasible path for Wang Ba, who tremendously lacks a sense of security.
However, he is currently busy searching for the carrier for the Second Dantian and didn’t really have the time, so he put away the storage ring for now..
