802 The Exchange of Life Essences! (1/2)
Exchange Life Essences? Wang Baole was stunned. He felt that the statement was a little weird. He secretly thought that the exchange of life essences was extremely dangerous. Moreover, essences involved the core of one's soul and couldn't be easily traded away…
Thinking to that point, Wang Baole was a little cautious and was about to control his Dharmic Battleship to leave. But just as he was about to leave, a wisp of aura similar to that of the stone golem patriarch suddenly spread forth from within the star system. Not waiting for Wang Baole's expression to change, the second and third wisp of Planet realm auras congruent to that of the Sovereign Patriarch also spread forth.
Like a sun paired with two moons, they engulfed the entire star system. Luckily, the three mighty figures' auras were gentle, and their suppressive forces were restrained. However… they still shook Wang Baole's soul.
Why are there so many Eternal Star realm individuals? Including this place, I've already met two during my journey! Wang Baole felt his mouth go dry. He was quickly pondering in his mind whether to continue using his senior brother's name or to try using his Dao Scripture to scare them. Meanwhile, the three auras trapped Wang Baole there. As the nearest vine to him shook slightly, seven to eight silhouettes flew out from within the fruit planet under the vine and stepped onto a leaf.
The leaf quickly spread and neared where Wang Baole was.
Wang Baole blinked and secretly sighed. Since the three auras had trapped him, Wang Baole didn't dare to forcefully leave. So as he felt depressed in his heart, he tilted his head to stare at Little Wu.
Little Wu felt confused after being stared at. After being stunned for a while, he didn't know how he bothered his daddy and felt indignant in his heart.
Wang Baole also didn't know why he wanted to stare at Little Wu. But after doing so, he felt more comforted in his heart. After coughing, he stopped considering how to leave. Instead, he flew out of his Dharmic Battleship with a flick of his body, gazing at the approaching leaf and the seven to eight cultivators atop it.
Those cultivators looked similar to humans, but their ears were a little long, making them look like rabbits. Their bodies also looked very strong, with each of them having round waists and large arms. While the muscles on their bodies were like jumping mice and startled people, they also made it easy to neglect their gender…
The seven to eight cultivators who looked like strong men were actually all female. As for their cultivations, their leader was a Spirit Immortal, while the rest of them were at least early-stage Soul Conduits. At the same time, not only did they not have any enmity towards foreigners on their faces, they were actually somewhat fanatical. After nearing, they all looked at Wang Baole.
”Chen Qing civilization envoy, Long Nanzi, greets his fellow Daoists.”
The Divine Sense was the best way to break past the language barrier. Wang Baole learned this from his multiple expeditions. As his Divine Sense spread out, the vine leaf the females were on also stopped within the cosmos in front of Wang Baole. The Spirit Immortal female leader atop the leaf sized up Wang Baole as a smile appeared on her face.
”Welcome to the Vine civilization, you can call me Ling Shan.”
A smile was often the easiest and most direct communication method when strangers came into contact for the first time. Sometimes, it could convey many different meanings and was often quite effective. But because the smile was overly fanatical, Wang Baole couldn't help but feel nervous. So he tested the waters by asking a few questions.
The several females from the vine civilization answered each and every one of Wang Baole's questions. Such sincerity made Wang Baole even more nervous. But he gained a deeper understanding of the star system more or less.
The vine civilization was indeed a matriarchal civilization. Although there were male cultivators there, they were a minority in terms of both numbers and status. At the same time, the vine civilization was spread across the Never-Ending Clan's star domain like dandelions. They spread out to become tribe-like small civilizations of various sizes and were part of the few neutral parties. They didn't actively participate in battle, but if someone messed with them, all of the tribes would gather together to unleash a counterattack.
This place was one of the vine civilization's many tribe star systems. Towards Wang Baole's arrival, they were very enthusiastic. They even invited Wang Baole to head to one of the planets to rest.
At first, Wang Baole decided not to go. However, being engulfed by the auras of the Eternal Star realm and Planet realm mighty figures, he had no choice but to agree. He stored his Half-Dharmic Battleship, brought along Little Wu and the donkey, and stepped onto the vine leaf.
