Capítulo 2490: Chapter 233: The Banquet
The calm gray-blue water surface was like a pool of dead water, almost without any ripples.
The light and shadow of the Waterside Pavilion fell on the water’s surface in the distance, yet it seemed to be cast into an abyss, without a bit of reflected shimmering…
Wang Ba did not feel the coldness of the surrounding water flow, the fish eyes quietly exposed above the water, gazing at that distant bright spot.
Under the eaves of the Waterside Pavilion, a plaque was vaguely hanging, with the words “Yuan Zhai” written on it.
However, doubts emerged in his mind:
“Lord of Realm Sea… he should be in this pavilion too, right?”
“Someone of his stature, can he perceive my presence?”
“Moreover, the guests in this pavilion, if as the master said, are immortals, they should also be able to perceive me, right?”
“Yet why don’t they drag me out? Or have they already sensed me but don’t care at all?”
Just like how people are aware of ants underfoot, yet do not deliberately seek them out.
In their eyes, perhaps I am no different from an ant.
His heart stirred slightly as he recalled Li Yuehua’s words from before.
In the Realm Sea of Origin, all the True Spirit Fish existing are already dead, meaning everything here is actually dead, and now he takes the form of a True Spirit Fish, perhaps that’s the reason he manages to blend in.
Thinking about this, he pondered for a moment, then gently submerged in the water, moving softly. Before long, he saw a True Spirit Fish swimming slowly from afar, then proceeding into deeper waters.
That was evidently another True Spirit Fish similar to him.
Recalling the movements of this True Spirit Fish, Wang Ba deliberated a bit, following his memory, moving leisurely toward the pavilion.
At times advancing, at times diving deeper, at times swimming upward.
He wasn’t sure whether these immortals had detected him, so he tried to replicate the swimming trajectory of other True Spirit Fish as much as possible.
Finally, he slowly approached the water’s surface.
Yet, he didn’t need to get too close; he could already faintly hear sounds from the pavilion above.
“…Haha, such are the rules, I cannot break them, otherwise everyone could return to the Third Realm Sea and devour all the True Spirit Fish inside, wouldn’t that make the Third Realm Sea desolate?”
A voice first reached Wang Ba’s ears, like warm spring water flowing over green jade, soothing and harmonious with a rhythm that calmed the mind, causing people to imagine a graceful scholar’s figure just by listening.
The voice was gentle, yet amidst the conversation, there was a concealed hint of admonition and warning.
Even from this one sentence, Wang Ba immediately captured a multitude of information.
His mind raced:
“The speaker should be that Lord of Realm Sea… is he refusing these guests?”
“Are these guests insatiable, wanting more True Spirit Fish?”
“Or are they plotting something concerning the Third Realm Sea?”
His knowledge was limited, unable to ascertain, so he promptly calmed his mind. He listened attentively again to the sounds outside, while his body moved slowly, trying to catch every word.
Almost simultaneously, he heard another voice emerging, carrying a few degrees of politeness and flattery:
“Master of the Zhai is too humble. With the Zhai Master in the Third Realm Sea, who would dare recklessly intrude? Besides, truly entering this Third Realm Sea, even a True Immortal, whether round or flat, must listen to the Zhai Master.”
The voice pierced like a silver needle soaked in poison, entering the neck from behind, sinister yet sharp, making one’s hair stand on end upon hearing.
“True Immortal?”
Listening to the words of this voice, Wang Ba’s mind stirred slightly:
“This implies one of the immortals of the Second Realm Sea in a very high realm…”
At this moment, within the pavilion, the Lord of Realm Sea chuckled lightly:
“Taoist Friend She overpraises.”
“It is heard that the Palace Master of your palace is also of the True Immortal Realm. If he were to come to this Third Realm Sea, I would surely welcome him sincerely, dare not neglect… moreover, this Third Realm Sea is the foundation of creation for the Second Realm Sea, how vast and majestic. Though not comparable to the Second Realm Sea, it is not something I, ‘Taiyuan,’ can easily influence. Even though recognized by the origin, added as a gatekeeper, I can only stand at the doorway and cannot easily enter.”
“At most, only picking a few melons and dates at the door, for some comfort.”
“It is, instead, you Taoist Friends, coming and going freely, making one envious.”
He spoke calmly, slowly unfolding, yet making people unconsciously stop to quietly listen to his words.
“Turns out the Lord of Realm Sea’s name is Taiyuan…”
Below the pavilion, beneath the water surface, Wang Ba silently noted this name, then slightly focused on some of the conveyed information:
“This Taiyuan, seemingly cannot enter the Realm Sea.”
“But it’s also possible that it’s merely an excuse to those guests and not the truth.”
If these words were true, it could explain why his existence is unknown to the Inner World Cultivators.
First, this Taiyuan may have not been the Lord of Realm Sea for long; second, due to his inability to enter the Realm Sea, hence he remained unknown.
Wang Ba pondered quietly in his mind.
Inside the pavilion, the immortal with the surname She heard this, and before speaking, another voice joined in. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
This voice was full of Qi, like the sound of a bell resonating, and laughed:
“The Palace Master of Si Palace is not just an ordinary True Immortal. As an Immortal Monarch, if he truly came, fear the Third Realm Sea would have quite a situation, yet if we were to enter…”
