Chapter 1808: Chapter 22 Innovation

Returning inside the realm.

The Black Tortoise once again replaced the Daoist Yuanci.

However, Daoist Yuanci did not immediately return to the netherworld Underworld but hesitated while looking at Wang Ba.

The two were of one mind, and Wang Ba almost instantly understood his thoughts and slightly frowned:

“You want to know the situation of Qin Lingxiao’s reincarnation?”

Daoist Yuanci knew he couldn’t hide it from his counterpart and nodded:

“Since I took charge of the Underworld, countless True Spirits have passed my eyes, yet I have not seen Qin Lingxiao’s True Spirit. I suppose she has already reincarnated, and once reincarnated, I couldn’t tell who is her reincarnation body. Taoist Friend, you are skilled in divination arts, you should be able to deduce it.”

Wang Ba slightly frowned, looking at Daoist Yuanci:

“Since she has reincarnated, it is another life, which is a good thing for both her and me…”

Daoist Yuanci, however, slightly shook his head and retorted:

“She willingly used her Primordial Spirit to replace me, entering the realm with her True Spirit, all to assist you. Can you really get over this in your heart?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba immediately fell silent.

No words were needed, Daoist Yuanci already understood his inner thoughts.

With a slight sense of solace in his eyes, he then flew straight into the sea vortex at the center of the Four Continents.

Leaving Wang Ba alone in mid-air, watching the waves rolling below…

He let out a long sigh.

Then raised his hand to pinch his fingers, using the Complete Heaven Number to divine the whereabouts of Qin Lingxiao.

After a few breaths, Wang Ba slightly frowned.

In doubt, he took out a Class IV Perfection turtle shell from his sleeve… and did another round of divination.

Yet soon, Wang Ba’s expression slightly sank, with a trace of grave and puzzlement in his eyes:

“Nothing… she hasn’t reincarnated, but Daoist Yuanci’s incarnation indeed did not see her True Spirit. It is neither a True Spirit nor reincarnated… Could it be that her True Spirit has perished?!”

As this thought arose, Wang Ba’s heart shook.

He questioned himself and found he rarely owed others in his life, yet solely facing Qin Lingxiao, he felt guilt.

Or perhaps there were other emotions mixed within, but he was unwilling to delve into them.

However, hearing now the shocking news that Qin Lingxiao’s True Spirit might have perished, an indescribable complexity surged in his heart.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Underworld, Daoist Yuanci, who had just sat down, suddenly shuddered in his heart.

A wordless silence involuntarily arose in his eyes:

“So… it has already perished…”

A cold white-clothed female cultivator stood on a white dragon vaguely emerged in his mind.

He could vaguely recall the expression on the female Cultivator’s face, joyful yet sorrowful, when she said she wanted to embrace him.

And that incredibly happy smile…

At this moment, he finally realized that the name ‘Qin Lingxiao’… he would truly remember it for a long, long time.

A deep sigh came from the dark depths of the Underworld.

…

“The sudden loss of control by Yu Wuheng is rather strange…”

Returning to the Taoist Field.

Wang Ba sat cross-legged within the Pearl Dungeon, holding the Wind-Calming Stone, but involuntarily recalled the scene when Yu Wuheng’s Dao Domain spiraled out of control.

A cultivator with a Seventh-Order Dao Domain couldn’t even control their own domain and even suffered a backlash from their Primordial Spirit, which surprised him greatly.

However, it was unexpected that the other party willingly gave him the Wind-Calming Stone.

After all, having this item would allow one to traverse freely in this Wind Disaster Area filled with fierce winds. With it, Yu Wuheng could at least come and go freely here.

Giving this item to him, isn’t it effectively…

“Wait a moment.”

Wang Ba’s heart paused, vaguely sensing the other party’s intentions.

“Is it indirectly to show goodwill to the Little Cang World?”

“No, it could also be that she truly doesn’t care. With her strength, if she really wanted, as long as we are still here, she can easily take it back with a flip of her hand. Calculatingly, for her, there is actually no risk at all.”

Wang Ba’s thoughts were indeed measuring others by his own mean standards, but he didn’t care.

To consider all possible situations and prepare responses.

He did not hesitate to assume the worst of others’ intentions.

Even though the other was also from Little Cang World, even though she was nominally his senior sister, even though the kind-hearted Li Yuehua who once helped him had advised him.

“However, it should be safe right now.”

Wang Ba glanced at the Outer Realm.

The dense white mist was blown fiercely by the wind, rapidly sweeping past.

Without any indication of stopping.

And sensing the distance between him and Fanming, which was growing further, thankfully not yet beyond his sensing range.

“I hope once the wind stops, Fanming can return quickly.”

Thinking of this, Wang Ba immediately lowered his head, staring at the Wind-Calming Stone in his hand, his mind moved, and the Wind-Driving Staff appeared beside him, seeming to sense each other.

Both the Wind-Calming Stone and the Wind-Driving Staff were trembling slightly, seemingly very elated.

If not for Wang Ba using mana to isolate them, there was a sense they might crash into each other.

Wang Ba felt certain doubts in his heart:

“Could it be that these two items… are truly one piece? Innate Dao Treasures are all birthed within Realm Embryos, aren’t they?”

The Wind-Driving Staff was obtained from the invasion of the Little Cang World by an Innate Divine Demon, recognized by Cang Fuzi as an Innate Dao Treasure, originating from the Realm Embryo.

And the Wind-Calming Stone, according to Yu Wuheng, was also acquired from a Realm Embryo.

Supposedly, each item within a Realm Embryo is distinct and independent, even before they open, no one knows what exactly is hidden inside them.

However, the reaction between the Wind-Driving Staff and the Wind-Calming Stone was clearly as if one item had been split into two parts.

He hesitated a bit, but finally couldn’t suppress his curiosity.

Loosening his grip on the Wind-Calming Stone slightly.

The next moment, the Wind-Calming Stone immediately, like a swallow returning to the forest, directly collided with the Wind-Driving Staff!
