A World Worth Protecting

This voice was incomparably heroic, and contained a domineering air that could not be concealed. It was as if a single word spoken could cause the heavens and earth to tremble. As the rain fell, a figure walked over from afar.

This figure was very tall and sturdy. He wore a purple royal robe, and did not wear a crown on his head. Instead, his long hair was casually draped over his shoulders. There was a casual air about him. His face was rough, but his eyes were like the stars, causing people to ignore everything when they looked at him, they could only remember his bright eyes.

When he walked over, there was clearly rain above his head, but not a single drop landed on him.

It was as if wherever he was, even the pouring water wouldn’t be able to touch him.

Wang Baole couldn’t do that.

That was originally impossible. At Wang Baole’s current level, not to mention the rain, even his divine might wouldn’t be able to stop him.

Even a foundation establishment realm cultivator could block the rain from the mortal world.

However... the rain that appeared around him, even if he circulated his cultivation and isolated himself from the outside world, still broke through all obstacles silently.

It seemed to have nothing to do with his combat strength. It was caused by the difference in his cultivation realm.

From this, it could be seen that the burly man, who had come several times in the past two years, was definitely not at the fourth step!

At the same time, the rain was not ordinary. In fact, if one were to look at the mountain peak that he was currently at from afar, they would be able to clearly see that there was only rain falling within a few thousand feet of him. However, there was not a single drop of rain a few thousand feet away.

Therefore... Wang Baole, who was in the rain, had his hair and clothes wet. It was useless to block anything. However, a year ago, when the other party had first arrived and he was drenched in the rain, Wang Baole seemed to be deep in thought, without any thoughts of stopping him, he raised his head to look at the burly man who was walking over and stood up to bow.

“Greetings, senior situ.”As he spoke, rain flowed down from his hair and gathered on his chin along his cheeks, forming a rain line. Some landed directly on the ground, while others flowed into his collar.

“Haha, Little Fatty, we meet again.”As Wang Baole spoke, the burly man who was walking over laughed and hugged Wang Baole.

“It’s only been a month...”Wang Baole said with a smile. After the burly man released his warm embrace, he wiped the rain off his face and shook his hand.

“A month is a long time. Come, come, come, little fatty. Last time, I let you win on purpose. This time, I want to fight you seriously.”As the burly man spoke, he sat in front of Wang Baole. With a wave of his hand, a chessboard landed, he quickly took out a chess piece. As if afraid that he would be the first to win, he immediately placed it down.

Wang Baole smiled. To be precise, senior situ had come seven times in the past two years.

When he first came, he chatted with him for a moment, as if he was just here to see how he looked. Then, before he left, he asked him if he knew how to play chess.

Wang Baole didn’t know how to play chess. The chess game in the stone stele world was indeed different from here in terms of rules. Therefore, he asked curiously, and in the end..

When the two of them met for the first time, one of them was in high spirits, while the other was learning and playing, and he... actually won.

This made situ somewhat indignant. Hence, the second, third, and fourth time came..

Every time, Wang Baole won.

He himself found it unbelievable. Perhaps it was because he had a talent that he had never discovered before, or perhaps it was because senior situ’s chess skills were too poor..

Just like that, the seventh time had come.

At that moment, Wang Baole did not care about the rain flowing down his face. He picked up the chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. Then, he waited respectfully. Based on his past experience, senior Situ’s chess playing speed was extremely slow.

As expected, it was the same this time. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, situ finally placed the chess piece. Wang Baole didn’t show any signs of impatience. He picked up the chess piece and placed it down again before continuing to wait.

Just like that, three days passed..

Seeing that more than half of the chessboard was covered, situ took even longer to think. Wang Baole raised his hand to wipe the rain off his forehead. After feeling it for a while, he spoke softly.

“Senior, you seem to have missed another move.”

Situ stared at the chessboard for a long while. He hesitated, not knowing how to make his move. Gradually, a look of regret appeared on his face. He raised his head to look at the sky.

“Have you played enough? Disperse for me!”

As his words were spoken, the sky rumbled. The sky rippled, and the clouds churned. It gave Wang Baole the feeling that at that moment, the sky was filled with joy, as if it had played enough tricks. As the clouds dissipated.., the rain finally stopped.

Seeing that the rain had finally stopped, Wang Baole’s cultivation changed. His clothes and hair were no longer wet. He stood up and bowed deeply to the burly man before him.

“Thank you, senior, for your help.”

The burly man pursed his lips, waved his hand, and put away the chessboard.

“I’m not in a good state this time. I’ll Fight You When I wake up after I go back to sleep.”With that, the burly man stretched lazily, got up, and was about to leave.

Wang Baole took a deep breath and bowed again. “Senior, I can’t thank you enough for your great kindness.”.

“Great Kindness?”The burly man was stunned.

“Senior, there’s no need to hide it. I’ve known about it since your second visit,”Wang Baole said softly, his eyes filled with sincerity.

“What do you know?”The burly man asked in surprise.

“Senior, you’ve been here seven times and rained seven times. This rain is extraordinary. It can transform one’s own viciousness, resolve one’s own karma, nourish one’s spirit, and calm the mind of a junior

“If I still don’t understand at this point in time, this is a blessing given by senior. It will help me achieve my dao heart and obsession. Then, I am no longer worthy to play chess with you

“In fact, the effect of this rain is truly astonishing. I have now sunk into peace, and my understanding of the Dao is deeper than it was two years ago. Vaguely, I have some thoughts on how to achieve my dao heart.”Wang Baole’s words were sincere, he bowed once again.

Hearing Wang Baole’s words, the burly man was at a loss at first. Then, he blinked and coughed.

“That’s right! That’s how it is!”

“Aiya, you’re really something, Kid. I’ve already hidden it so well, but you can still understand my good intentions so quickly.”As the burly man coughed, a strange feeling rose in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface, instead, he laughed, showing that this was how things were. He had an unfathomable expression on his face.

“Thank you, senior. I was able to understand it because Yiyi used this method to help me many times when she was in my hometown,”Wang Baole said with a sigh.

This time, the strange feeling in the man’s heart couldn’t be concealed. It surfaced on his face. He subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the cave abode where the Wang family was. He muttered a few words that only he could hear, then, he coughed dryly and was about to say something.

However, at that moment... The sound of a baby crying could be heard faintly from the distant city.

The sound was nothing in the bustling city. Furthermore, the city was too big. If one didn’t pay attention to it, it would be difficult to distinguish it. However, Wang Baole had always focused a strand of his consciousness on a family in the city.

Therefore, when he heard the sound, Wang Baole’s body jolted and he looked over.

Vaguely, he saw a baby being born in that household.

“Senior brother...”Wang Baole stared at it. After a long while, a happy smile appeared on his face.
