"A new Wang Baole?" Deep in the ground, Wang Baole chuckled and didn't pay it any mind.
The avatar was indeed an independent entity. It didn't have anything to do with Wang Baole's past. If it did, it might be because the Law of Pleasure and Law of Auditory Desires permeated Wang Baole's body. That was why the avatar had some of them.
But that didn't matter. Those two Laws belonged to the world of the second level, and had no Karma with him.
There was only one hidden connection, and that was … the determination to remove the Karma with the Emperor.
That was enough for him.
"If I'm calmer and more decisive, then perhaps I'll be able to break through the situation." Wang Baole watched his clone walk off into the distance, then slowly closed his eyes. To him, success was the best, but even if the clone failed, it didn't matter. Presumably, by that time, he would have completely resolved the problem with the Laws of the outside world.
Once he completely fused the Laws of Pleasure and the Laws of Auditory Desire, he would be able to leave without worrying about being locked down or searched.
It was in this way that Wang Baole's true self closed his eyes and sank into meditation. As for his clone, he sped off into the distance outside of the desert.
Unlike Wang Baole's true self, who wanted to keep a low profile, the clone's emotions didn't fluctuate at all. He unleashed the full power of his Yuanying Cultivation base, adding to his speed as he shot off into the distance.
He was aimless.
Wang Baole's avatar didn't know where he was going either. The world was too big, and this place was unfamiliar to him. Therefore, according to his plan, he needed to find a local cultivator and ask for directions.
With that in mind, Wang Baole sped along. Time passed, and soon, four days had gone by.
During those four days, he didn't see a single Cultivator. The ground gradually changed from a deep purple color to a light yellow color, and the vegetation grew a lot more lush.
Wang Baole, who was speeding along, swept his gaze across the land. Just as he was about to continue moving forward, his expression changed. He tilted his head and looked to the right. In the distant forest, there seemed to be traces of Law fluctuations.
After taking a look, Wang Baole's body flickered as he changed directions and headed straight for the area. However, the moment he neared the forest, he heard the sound of something breaking through the air.
Wang Baole didn't move his legs. His upper body casually dodged backward. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black shadow fly past him in an instant. The shadow appeared on the crown of a Big Tree not far away.
It was an old man who was as thin as a monkey. He was dressed in black and seemed to be in the middle stage of the Yuanying Realm. At that moment, he was squatting on top of the tree, and his eyes shone with a green light. He stared at Wang Baole for a moment before he spoke hoarsely.
"Who are you?!"
"Cultivator from Ancient Epoch City," Wang Baole calmly replied. He didn't say his name, but a bright light gathered in his eyes as he looked at the old man.
"Ancient Epoch City? You're not welcome here. Leave immediately. "The old man's eyes narrowed as he licked his lips.
Wang Baole looked coldly at him, then at the forest where he had been prevented from entering. He could faintly sense that there were three gazes locked onto him from within the forest. They were filled with malice, and at the same time, a strange aroma wafted into his nose.
He wasn't sure what sort of meat the aroma came from. It was faint, but as soon as it entered Wang Baole's nose, he instinctively felt an urge to eat. It was almost as if his body were thirsting for food.
Presumably, these people were here to protect the strange creature. If it were his true self, he might have been interested, but Wang Baole didn't care.
Wang Baole retracted his gaze and said, "Give me a map of this area, and I'll leave."
The black-robed old man frowned. Wang Baole's words seemed a bit strange. He looked Wang Baole up and down for a moment, then waved his hand and tossed out a jade slip. Wang Baole caught it, scanned it with divine will, and then turned to leave.
However, even as Wang Baole was about a few dozen meters away, a deep voice suddenly echoed out from within the forest.
"Fellow Daoist from Ancient Epoch City, it seems we were brought together by fate. Would you like to come in and enjoy some food together?"
Almost as soon as the voice rang out, the black-robed old man seemed to have received a message. His eyes narrowed, and his body flickered with shocking speed. He transformed into a series of afterimages as he appeared directly in front of Wang Baole, blocking his path.
"What's the meaning of this?" asked Wang Baole, his face expressionless. "Nothing.
"Nothing much. I just want to be friends." The person who responded to Wang Baole was not the black-robed old man, but rather, one of the three Cultivators who had just flown out from within the forest.
These three Cultivators appeared to be middle-aged. Two of them had early Yuanying Cultivation bases. Only the one who had just spoken had the aura of the late Yuanying Stage.
As he looked at Wang Baole, his eyes flickered with greed, and he even licked his lips. Clearly, he was filled with malice.
"Oh." Wang Baole's expression didn't change in the slightest. The instant he nodded, his body exploded with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, before the four Cultivators could even react, he was next to the black-robed old man. He reached out with his right hand, grabbed the old man's neck, and twisted. At the same time, he lifted his left knee and slammed it into the old man's crotch.
A cracking sound could be heard, accompanied by a miserable shriek. The old man's body was transformed into a mass of flesh and blood. Even his Yuanying Stage collapsed. Only the head remained in Wang Baole's hand. He turned to look at the three Cultivators, whose faces were now filled with shock, and tossed the head toward them.
"Making friends requires a greeting gift. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything, so I'll use this head as a gift."
Of the three Nascent Soul realm cultivators, other than the late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivator who had spoken earlier, the other two took a few steps back instinctively. They looked at Wang Baole with intense fear in their eyes.
To be able to kill a Yuanying Cultivator in an instant meant that he was a powerful enemy that they couldn't afford to provoke.
Even the late Yuanying Cultivator's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath, forced his smile to become more amiable, and clasped his hands in greeting.
"Fellow Daoist, you're too polite. I like this gift very much. The forest has prepared a rare beast cauldron for cooking, as well as fine wine. Please!"
Wang Baole didn't move. He glanced at the late Yuanying Cultivator with a smile that wasn't a smile.
"Making friends requires a greeting gift. Where's my gift?" With that, Wang Baole swept his gaze over the necks of the two Cultivators who had just retreated.
Noticing Wang Baole's gaze, the two Cultivators' expressions changed drastically. They retreated again and circulated their cultivation to the maximum.
The late Yuanying Cultivator's expression also changed. He looked at the two Cultivators who had just retreated, and his mind raced. He knew that even he wouldn't be able to kill a mid Yuanying Cultivator so cleanly in an instant. Since the person in front of him was able to do so, he knew that he wasn't a match for him.
Since he had provoked him first, if he didn't deal with it properly, he would definitely be in danger today. Thus, he narrowed his eyes and endured the pain in his heart. He raised his right hand and a token appeared in his hand.
"This is the City of Appetite Entrance Token. There are two slots to enter the city. Is this a gift?"
