NOVPUBThe Daoist robe, after all, was without a master. It tried to dodge but couldn’t completely avoid the slashing sword light and was instantly cut.
However, what surprised Wang Ba was that this slash still couldn’t bring the Daoist robe down.
It merely left an insignificant mark on the robe.
The Daoist robe trembled slightly, its hem fluttering as if mocking Wang Ba for exerting all his strength and only managing to inflict such minor damage.
Seeing this, Wang Ba’s face remained remarkably calm.
"One slash isn’t enough? Heh, let’s see how long you can hold out!" Wang Ba said.
Upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, the Daoist robe felt nothing at all.
Wang Ba quickly drew mana from the feedback provided by his Mysterious Dragon Soldiers, unleashing a full-powered slash!
The Daoist robe, as if feeling fearless, stopped dodging and simply floated in place to meet the slash head-on.
Yet, after delivering one slash, Wang Ba unexpectedly delivered a second!
The third slash… the fiftieth slash!
The Mysterious Dragon Soldiers were like an inexhaustible pond, continuously providing mana to Wang Ba.
And in an instant, Wang Ba had delivered an astonishing number of slashes.
At that moment, the Daoist robe, which had been nonchalantly remaining in place, was first stunned and then, with a jolt, started to flee in panic!
But the robe, having already given Wang Ba the opportunity by being overconfident, how could it escape the fifty consecutive slashes?
In just an instant, layers of sword lights almost simultaneously struck the same spot on the Daoist robe!
Whiz, whiz, whiz!
The Daoist robe still wasn’t torn!
However, its protective light instantly dimmed.
It seemed to have exhausted its foundation.
Seizing the moment, Wang Ba immediately leapt forward and grabbed it.
He immediately felt intense struggling in his hand.
"Continue to resist, and I will burn you!" Wang Ba said coldly.
But the Daoist robe didn’t falter and kept struggling persistently.
Wang Ba couldn’t help but frown.
Was the difficulty of subjugating this magic treasure that high?
With a thought,
he directly tossed out a Class III top-grade Snow Phoenix Chicken.
Upon seeing Wang Ba, the Snow Phoenix Chicken strutted arrogantly to the side with lifted claws and started to pace away.
Wang Ba’s expression remained unchanged.
Suddenly, he threw a shadow of a blade towards the Snow Phoenix Chicken.
The Snow Phoenix Chicken never expected Wang Ba to launch a sneak attack, and it was instantly hit by the shadow, stumbling before turning livid with rage. It spun around, opened its mouth towards Wang Ba, and a ball of Bing-Ding Fire was immediately spit out!
Wang Ba remained unhurried and simply used the Daoist robe in his hand as a shield.
Woosh!
The ball of Bing-Ding Fire immediately ignited upon the Daoist robe.
The already dim protective light seemed to melt away on the spot.
The previously violently struggling Daoist robe was momentarily stunned, as if it had not anticipated Wang Ba would do such a thing.
After sensing the power of the Bing-Ding Fire, the Daoist robe suddenly began to shake violently.
For a moment, Wang Ba, powered by the Mysterious Dragon Soldiers and comparable to a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator, felt like he might not be able to hold on.
Wang Ba immediately strengthened the infusion of mana.
After a standoff, the protective light was about to completely dissolve.
From within the Daoist robe, a childlike voice filled with sobs finally called out:
"Wuwu... I acknowledge you! I acknowledge you!"
A child?
Wang Ba was somewhat astonished.
But he immediately actuated the Spirit Beast Collar.
Under the effects of the Spirit Beast Collar, the Snow Phoenix Chicken could only open its mouth reluctantly, aiming at the Daoist robe.
The next moment, the Bing-Ding Fire on the Daoist robe swiftly detached from it and leaped into the Snow Phoenix Chicken’s mouth.
Wang Ba, without wasting any opportunity, quickly infused his soul and mana into the Daoist robe.
As expected, the robe ceased its resistance.
With the entry of Wang Ba’s soul, within a gray, foggy space, he saw a man-child about two or three years old, with an infant’s aura, tearfully looking at him.
Wang Ba, however, did not relent.
Though True Spirits of Magic Treasures held Spiritual Wisdom, they ultimately achieved Dao through becoming objects, and most of them didn’t possess rich emotions like humans or Spirit Beasts which achieve Dao as living beings.
Hence, this seemed more like a deliberate ploy to elicit sympathy from cultivators.
He cut to the chase without any idle talk:
"Hand over the True Spirit Seal," he demanded.
Seeing that Wang Ba was not easily deceived, the tears instantly vanished from the boy’s face. He gave Wang Ba a cold look, and then a sphere of light flew out of his body.
Wang Ba wasn’t concerned.
Upon refining the True Spirit Seal, the True Spirit of Magic Treasure would have no choice but to obey its master.
He had no interest in fostering sentiment with it bit by bit.
In fact, Wang Ba, who cultivated both a body refining method, would most likely end up like Yao Wudi, not needing to wear any defensive treasures at all.
This is because the epitome of Body Cultivation is a physical body that is in no way inferior to same-stage magic treasures and even surpasses them in certain aspects.
For a Body Cultivator, defensive treasures often hinder the potential of the physical body.
However, Wang Ba’s physical body was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so this Class IV Daoist robe could indeed be of use to him.
Soon, he refined the True Spirit Seal and also came to understand the origins and true state of the Daoist robe.
"Fourth Order Middle Grade magic treasure... Zen Shadow Clothing..." he murmured.
The Zen Shadow Clothing rapidly flew into his Dantian.
The next moment, a black-green Daoist robe with a sheer outer shroud appeared on his body.
The robe flowed with Daoist essence, giving off an ethereal aura.
Wang Ba carefully savored the sensation, quite pleased with himself.
His life’s first magic treasure had been acquired so unexpectedly.
He then turned his attention to another treasure, the Flying Shuttle.
He reached out his hand.
However, to his surprise, the Flying Shuttle did not dodge. Instead, as his palm was about to touch it, it actively moved into the center of his palm.
