Clearly, the other party had not left at all during these past years and had been cultivating here the whole time.
"This Chief Division Master, is he so highly valued by the Sect Master?"
The man in red was surprised.
During his time away, he had learned of the identity of this Golden Core cultivator.
However, he was devoted to his cultivation and did not take it to heart.
Only now, after calculating how long the other party had been in the dungeon, did he start to take it seriously.
To grant a Golden Core cultivator permission to stay in the dungeon for so long, either the Sect Master or the great elder had to issue the order personally.
Normally, for Vice Hall Masters or Mountain Lords, they could only cultivate here for about a year.
The great elder hardly interfered, which obviously meant it was the intention of the Sect Master.
Thinking this, the man in red became somewhat interested in Wang Ba.
Even at the Golden Core Realm, he had caught the attention of the Sect Master. This youth evidently had a promising future, making him worth befriending in case he could be of help later.
He was just thinking this when he suddenly saw Wang Ba open his eyes.
The man in red hurriedly nodded with a smile towards Wang Ba,
"You’re the new Chief Division Master of Diwu Hall, right? Haha, I’m Lin Yi, the Vice Hall Master of Rende Hall..."
Wang Ba paused, then bowed with his hands clasped,
"I’m Wang Ba, I’ve seen Hall Master Lin."
Then, showing a look of apology,
"I have urgent matters to attend to, so I cannot stay any longer. Please excuse me, Hall Master Lin."
The man in red showed understanding,
"You’ve had some realization, haven’t you? I understand, go on."
Without further courtesy, Wang Ba quickly left the dungeon.
The man in red stood there, his smile fading as he shook his head slightly,
"Still too young, too impulsive."
He then found a spot to sit down and quietly started to cultivate.
Not long after,
Wang Ba returned to Wanfa Peak.
Feeling the spiritual energy around him, he finally entered the Pearl Dungeon.
He sat down between the imperial willow and the Azure Fire Paulownia Tree.
Affected by these two rare spirit plants, the spiritual energy here was dense, far surpassing that of a Class IV spiritual lineage.
It was the most suitable place for breaking his Golden Core.
On the imperial willow, the Wu Monkey King sensed the aura on Wang Ba and curiously glanced at him.
Erya also poked her head out from a fire leaf on the Azure Fire Paulownia Tree. Seeing Wang Ba, her eyes lit up,
"Giggles!"
Then, she landed on him and habitually shrunk her body, snuggling into his embrace.
He gently stroked Erya’s head.
Wang Ba’s expression was calm, his heart at peace.
"It’s time."
Without hesitation, the last bit of Yin God power from the Yin Temple surged into the Dharma Golden Core, covered in cracks and emitting a deep red hue.
As this last bit of Yin God power melded,
The Yin Divine Statue and Yin Temple quickly twisted and deformed as if a calm water surface had been shattered.
Then, under Wang Ba’s guidance, it gradually wrapped around the Dharma Golden Core,
Leaving behind a complete, deep red lotus pattern in an uncovered spot on the Golden Core.
The next moment,
Wang Ba felt a thunderous boom inside his chest!
It was as if a world of chaos had been cleaved open by an axe.
The Dharma Golden Core spun rapidly!
Its cracks emitted countless rays of light!
The Five Elements, wind, thunder, starry fight, divine patterns, essence and blood, Yin God power...
After entering the Wanxiang Sect, the experiences gleaned from his master Yao Wudi and various Martial Uncles, the Ice Dao incarnation’s promotion journey...all flashed rapidly through his mind, mixing and merging until indistinguishable...
With a crack,
A fragment finally fell from the Golden Core! 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
At that moment,
Above Wanfa Peak, a dauntingly vast cloud slowly gathered.
This cloud was so vast that it nearly blocked out the sun.
The air around seemed to stagnate.
Every cultivator in the Wanxiang Sect was startled by this commotion.
"Someone is crossing tribulation... With such scale, could it be Immortal Ascension Tribulation?"
"No, it’s much weaker than Immortal Ascension Tribulation, but it seems much stronger than Nascent Soul Tribulation."
At Jinhuang Peak,
Wei Rong suddenly stirred and flew out from his cave.
Looking towards Wanfa Peak, his eyes filled with amazement,
"Is my Martial Nephew crossing the Nascent Soul Tribulation?"
In the three halls,
"The battle with Chen State is enormously influential, the Sect Master just instructed us to be prepared to assist at any time, but we also need to beware of others taking advantage of our vulnerabilities, it’s just a pity that the Tianyuan Hall Master is currently in the West Sea..."
Hall Master Du Wei from Rende Hall, Hall Master Xi Kui from Diwu Hall, along with Fei Hua and others, were rapidly discussing with solemn expressions.
But they all turned their heads, looking towards the distance outside the halls.
Their expressions varied:
"Is Wang Ba crossing the tribulation?"
At this moment,
Cultivators familiar with Wang Ba, Ma Shengxu, Cui Daqi, big drinker He, Qi Rulian, Qu Shentong...
All turned their gaze towards Wanfa Peak.
...
At the same time,
In the distant primitive Demonic Sect, tens of thousands of miles away.
Standing in front of his immortal cave, the elderly Han Yanzi, lost in thought as he looked towards the sky, seemed to sense something, a flicker crossing his expression, then he muttered with a tone of both joy and sigh,
"It’s finally begun."
"Though it’s slightly off the optimal time, it doesn’t matter."
As his words fell,
A deep red lotus pattern quietly appeared on his forehead.
Meanwhile,
In the core region of the Kingdom of Immortals, amidst a dense cluster of temples,
In a temple that was falling into decay.
If Wang Ba were here, he would be surprised to find that the divine statue at the central part of the temple bore a 90% resemblance to him.
Only, the divine statue’s eyes were tightly shut.
Lacking a touch of divine charm.
At this moment,
The face of the divine statue suddenly began to change...
