Time passed. It felt like an instant, but also like an eternity. Wang Baole wasn't sure how much time had passed, but when he awoke, Little Missy was long gone. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the ceiling of the karst cave.
After a moment of confusion, Wang Baole's pupils constricted. He sat up and looked around vigilantly. As soon as he did, his eyes went wide, and his mind trembled.
"This place …." Wang Baole was a bit taken aback. His breath came in ragged pants as he looked around. Regardless of whether it was the thousands upon thousands of corpses of ancient Cultivators, or the three-tiered altar they were worshipping, everything caused his mind to be filled with shock.
That was especially true of the appearance of the altar, as well as the items placed atop it. All of them gave him an indescribably surreal feeling. Furthermore, he instantly recognized the altar as the illusory image he had seen when he was fusing with the small cauldron.
"How could I be here …?" Wang Baole's eyes filled with confusion. His memories came to a stop at the moment when he was being chased into the forbidden zone. He clearly remembered that at the time, he was like an oil lamp that had run out of oil. The flame of his life force was incomparably dim, and even seemed to be on the verge of being extinguished.
Furthermore, he had sensed death approaching. It was an irreversible situation. After all, the small cauldron had been stolen, and his Dao foundation had been destroyed. His injuries had been unprecedentedly severe. Later, he had been chased by numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Although he had managed to kill a few of them, it had still been difficult for him to avoid death.
After entering the forbidden zone, his memories came to a stop. It was as if he had slept for a long time, and when he woke up, he was here.
Confused, Wang Baole took a deep breath. He looked down at his chest, and at the black mask that had appeared for some unknown reason. He could sense that something was different about him. It was as if all of his injuries had been healed. In fact, there was an indescribable sense of power that filled his body.
This discovery caused Wang Baole to tremble, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes. He immediately began to examine his body. Soon, Wang Baole felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze.
He saw that his Dao foundation, which had been destroyed, had been rebuilt. He saw that his qi passageways had been completely restored. He saw that in his dantian region, where the old woman had dug out the tiny cauldron, was … a Blue Lotus!!
The Green Lotus was only the size of a palm, and as it swayed, it exuded an astonishing amount of life force and spiritual energy. When it surged through Wang Baole's body, Wang Baole felt as if he could pluck the sun, moon, and stars!!
He knew that it was an illusion. However, he could clearly sense that the level of spiritual energy in his body was more than ten times greater than when he had been in Foundation Establishment with the tiny cauldron!!
It was like a miracle. Wang Baole felt as if he were in a dream. At the same time, he also noticed that the Green Lotus looked somewhat familiar …. It was the same Green Lotus that he had seen in the images when he had fused with the tiny cauldron. It was the same Green Lotus that the tiny cauldron and the other objects had sacrificed!
There was no need to compare the two. He knew that if the Green Lotus inside of him was indeed what he had seen, then … it was no longer on the same level as the tiny cauldron.
"Why is it inside of me …?" Wang Baole's heart was filled with excitement. This wasn't something that he had lost and then regained. After losing it, he had acquired an even more precious good fortune. It was a feeling that was difficult to describe.
His heart pounded rapidly. After examining his body, he looked around. Finally, Wang Baole's gaze came to rest on the black mask. Wang Baole had the vague feeling that he had found the answer.
"Did you save me, Little Missy?" Wang Baole asked softly as he picked up the black mask. However, there was no response. After a long while, Wang Baole stood up and placed the mask in front of him. With great solemnity, he bowed deeply!
"Little Missy, I, Wang Baole, will never forget the debt of saving my life!!"
The moment Wang Baole bowed, the black mask flickered slightly, as if in response. Wang Baole watched the changes in the mask until it regained its calm. Then, he put it away carefully and lifted his head. He sensed the unparalleled spiritual energy and boundless vitality of the Green Lotus in his dantian, which had fused with the devouring seed. He experienced the aura of Foundation Establishment and the waves of energy that were much more terrifying than before.
A strong murderous intent suddenly erupted within Wang Baole's body. He narrowed his eyes, revealing a chilling, soul-stirring glint.
"Galactic Dusk Sect, Five Generation Sky Clan … Since I, Wang Baole, am not dead, it's time to settle the score between us!" Wang Baole's murmuring voice was filled with endless coldness as it reverberated in the cave. At the same time, Wang Baole tried to activate the green lotus in his dantian. He wanted to see what would happen to him after using the green lotus to reach Foundation Establishment.
However, just as he was about to infuse his thoughts with the green lotus and activate it, the entire earth suddenly rumbled and trembled. An extremely powerful aura, one that even Wang Baole found extremely frightening, suddenly emerged from the depths of the earth.
The aura was so powerful that it was only released for a moment, but it was enough to change the heavens and earth. Everyone in the Mystic Luna Realm was shaken to their core. Wang Baole even had a feeling that the owner of the aura was in a deep sleep. The eruption of the aura seemed to be a sign that he was about to awaken.
"The Night Immortal King?!" Wang Baole instinctively retracted his will that had merged with the Green Lotus. The moment he did so, the aura disappeared as well. It was as if the signs of awakening had dissipated. The Night Immortal King had returned to his deep slumber.
Wang Baole was bewildered. He guessed that the only thing that could release such an aura in the Mystic Luna Realm had to be the terrifying, ancient corpse that was in a deep slumber. Although he didn't continue to test it, he could vaguely sense that the Green Lotus in his body had a connection with the ancient corpse that he didn't understand.
In his silence, Wang Baole wasn't sure what would happen if he persisted in activating the Green Lotus to awaken the ancient corpse. He also wasn't sure if the corpse would listen to his commands after it awoke.
These uncertainties made him set aside his desire to awaken the corpse. He lifted his head and looked at the exit. After leaping out, he immediately saw the silhouettes of the Moon Spirits and Night Immortals in the thin fog outside.
When the Moon Spirits and Night Immortals saw Wang Baole, they immediately lowered their heads as if they were worshipping him …
Wang Baole was taken aback by what he saw. His eyes flashed, and he tried to control them. However, after trying, he realized that even though the Moon Spirits and Night Immortals were worshipping him, he couldn't control them and make them work for him.
In his silence, Wang Baole looked at the fog around him. Although it wasn't the Mystic Trace Fog, it didn't seem to be much different in nature. There were even traces of the Mystic Trace Fog that appeared from time to time.
After retracting his gaze, Wang Baole lifted his head and looked at a direction in the distance. After determining that it was the same place he had entered previously, he couldn't suppress the coldness in his eyes any longer.
He hadn't killed many people in his life. However, even if he hadn't killed many people, this experience in the Mystic Luna Realm was still unforgettable for Wang Baole. The feeling of helplessness, the grievance, and the near-death experience made Wang Baole furious. He had a murderous intent that he needed to vent. If he didn't vent it, he would go crazy.
According to his own estimations, the Green Lotus was definitely extraordinary. However, no matter how heaven-defying the Green Lotus was, he was only at the Foundation Establishment realm. He still needed time to grow. He was still far from being able to fight a Core Formation realm cultivator. After all, the higher the level, the greater the gap between the realms.
Wang Baole didn't lose his rationality because of the Green Lotus Foundation Establishment. Therefore, as he pondered, he turned his head and looked at the fog around him. His eyes flashed.
"I've already studied the Mystic Trace Beads. There are still some parts that I haven't tested. If I succeed … then no one in the Mystic Luna Realm will be able to stop me from taking revenge!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Suppressing his hatred, he walked into the fog. With a flip of his right hand, he took out more than ten beads and continued his study of the Mystic Trace Fog.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, not only did Wang Baole's combat strength soar, but it also had a huge impact on his mental state. This allowed Wang Baole to be more proficient in Inscriptions and Dharmic Armaments than before. Especially since there was a lot of Mystic Trace Fog in this place. Moreover, Wang Baole also realized that after he had the Green Lotus in his body, the Mystic Trace Fog's influence on him was almost non-existent.
As a result, the speed of his research increased tremendously. A few days later, when Wang Baole successfully refined the Mystic Trace Bead and walked out of the restricted zone, a murderous aura emanated from his body, and his killing intent soared to the heavens!
