This mission that involved hundreds of Never-Ending Clan members didn't last long. It ended after six hours. Wang Baole didn't know exactly how many people from the Dao Palace had died, but he could tell that more than forty people had died.
In the end, the ruins were wiped off the face of the earth by the combined efforts of many Soul Conduit realm cultivators. It no longer existed.
As for the cultivators who had been recruited, they were allowed to leave after the mission was over. As they dispersed, Wang Baole was in low spirits as he sped towards the back mountain of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
Because he had participated in the battle and seen the Never-Ending Clan members attack, Wang Baole's imitation was flawless. Hence, when he hurried on his way, Wang Baole didn't hide his tracks anymore. Instead, he flew into the air and whizzed forward.
Although he met many Never-Ending Clan members along the way, Wang Baole didn't wait for them to look at him. He took the initiative to scan them with a scrutinizing gaze. After exchanging glances, they nodded and passed by each other.
Just like that, Wang Baole arrived at the back mountain of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace without any surprises or dangers along the way. When he arrived, he stood there and looked at the cone-shaped Dharma artifact. As he listened to the rumbling sounds coming from it, Little Missy's voice echoed in his mind.
"Where did you learn … the language of the Never-Ending Clan!"
"This is the language of the Dark Sect. Don't you know, Little Missy?" Wang Baole answered calmly.
After hearing Wang Baole's answer, Little Missy fell silent for a moment. She recalled the time when Wang Baole had been in the Dark Artifact. Although her doubts were cleared, she couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in her heart. That was her disbelief towards Wang Baole. It seemed that no matter what was impossible, as long as she asked him to try, he would definitely succeed after a period of time.
At that thought, Little Missy's head hurt even more. Even though she knew that Wang Baole should have guessed that she had bragged about the Dark Sect, she felt that as long as she didn't admit it, it wouldn't be fake. Hence, she snorted.
"Of course I know. I'm testing you!"
"Oh? Why are you testing me, Little Missy? You're not asking me to become a Saint, are you? I'm not cut out for that, big sister. " Wang Baole stretched his back and put aside his complicated thoughts about the massacre on the Vast Expanse Dao Star. His thoughts were very simple. He was not a saint. In his heart, there was only the Federation, and he could only be responsible to the Federation.
Other than that, there was the Underworld Sect.
As for the Vast Expanse Dao Star, while he sympathized with him, that was all he could do. That was why he asked that question in return to shut Little Missy's mouth. He didn't want her to say that he would take on the responsibility of reclaiming the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.
"I'll tell you the truth. Although the Dark Sect has fallen, our foundation is still there. Moreover, there is a mysterious big shot in the Never-Ending Clan who is a member of the Dark Sect. This is a big secret, and my Dark Art was taught to me by this big shot. Therefore, you can say that I am this big shot's disciple!" Little Missy's mind spun quickly as she came up with this sentence. She couldn't help but feel satisfied with her own wit after saying it.
"My test for you is to see if you have the chance to catch my master's eye. When the time comes, with his help, your future will be limitless!"
Little Missy was even more satisfied with herself when she said that. If she could conjure up a figure, she would definitely raise her arm and clench her fist as if she was cheering for herself.
Wang Baole's expression turned strange. He instinctively didn't believe Little Missy's words. However, he had to admit that Little Missy's words made sense. This made Wang Baole hesitate a little, but he still chose not to believe her in the end!
However, on the surface, Wang Baole considered that he was still on a mission, so he didn't show it. Instead, he nodded in agreement. After making Little Missy feel even more pleased, she told Wang Baole the location of the secret passage.
Feeling Little Missy's peace of mind, Wang Baole was delighted. He felt that this Little Missy was rather cute. After all, girls who were easy to coax were usually cute.
After finding the secret passage, Wang Baole teased Little Missy in his mind as he sped along the secret passage and headed straight for the depths of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace's mountain gate.
This secret passage was very well-hidden. Although it was filled with dust and some parts had collapsed, it wasn't a problem for Wang Baole. Just like that, after advancing continuously for two hours, Wang Baole appeared within the mountain gate of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. In other words, it was within the mountain!
Because the mountain had been split open and there was a huge Dharma artifact constantly extracting stellar sources, while the mountain itself was filled with more cracks, it also hindered Wang Baole's advance.
However, this hindrance wasn't unbreakable. It would just take some time. Therefore, after several hours, Wang Baole finally arrived at the depths of the mountain, outside a secret chamber, according to Little Missy's guidance!
The walls of this secret chamber were filled with cracks. He could see that there were still restrictions in this place. Even though these cracks had damaged the restrictions and reduced its power, Wang Baole was still frightened out of his wits when he sensed it. Even his soul was trembling and his mind was blank. Even his body was unstable, as if it was about to collapse.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, the body formed by the Vast Expanse's laws around Wang Baole released a gentle force, allowing Wang Baole to regain his senses. His face was pale as he retreated quickly, his mind shaken. Even though he was protected by the Vast Expanse's laws, he still felt an incomparable sense of danger.
"Little Missy, are you trying to kill me …?" Wang Baole said with a bitter smile. This place was far more dangerous than the Soul Conduit realm. It was only through the Dark Dream that he was able to come to a conclusion about the power of this restriction. It was very likely that it had been set up by someone on the same level as his Master in the Underworld Sect.
And this was because it was broken. If it had been complete, he probably wouldn't have been able to enter. He would probably have been killed instantly.
Little Missy coughed to hide her embarrassment, then said anxiously, "The restriction here is mainly for concealment … Don't worry. If there is a restriction here, it means that the Never-Ending Clan hasn't discovered it yet. Hurry up and enter. The stone slab I want is inside!"
Wang Baole hesitated for a moment, then cautiously approached. Little Missy did her best to control the Vast Expanse's laws around Wang Baole, using them to resist the restriction. Finally, Wang Baole approached the stone door of the private chamber. He pushed it forward, and the door slowly swung open. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and entered.
As soon as he entered, the restrictive spell began to shine brightly. Strands of light appeared in front of Wang Baole. Each strand of light caused Wang Baole's heart to pound with fear. Thankfully, the Vast Expanse's laws protected him, preventing the strands of light from harming him.
However, as each strand of light neared, it sounded like it was being sliced apart. Wang Baole began to tremble. At the same time, he saw that in the middle of the interweaving strands of light, there was a palm-sized half of a stone slab floating there!!
The stone slab didn't seem to be real. It was translucent, and there were numerous runes on it that Wang Baole couldn't understand. They glowed slowly according to a certain pattern, and an indescribable sense of vicissitudes emanated from the stone slab.
As Wang Baole looked at it, he seemed to see the death of all living things. He saw the destruction of planets, the collapse of suns, and the withering of the entire universe. At the same time … he saw the origin of everything. He saw new life, new planets, new suns, and the birth of a new universe!
It was as if the entire universe was contained within the stone slab, and yet it wasn't complete. It was clearly incomplete ….
"What … is this …?" Wang Baole couldn't help but whisper.
"I'm not sure," Little Sister murmured. "But when I was young, my father told me that this is the Dao of a Paragon from another Dao Domain who reached the Sixth Step!" Wang Baole stared blankly for a long moment. Then, the piercing sounds of slicing filled the air, and Wang Baole came to his senses.
"How am I supposed to get it? Let's get out of here. I don't think my clothes will last much longer!!"
"Don't worry," Little Sister said. "I wasn't trying to trick you. You can use the restrictive spells and pressure here, as well as the power of the stone slab. Not only will you be able to forge your scabbard with a one hundred percent success rate, but you'll also be able to absorb some of the power here. That will give it the foundation to transform into a precious treasure!!"
