Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 2415 - 207: Master of Quiet Cave (Part 3)

"It is precisely because of this that the Master of Quiet Cave allowed me to stay here."

"Oh?"

Wang Ba was somewhat curious. He had previously wondered what Xuan Yuanzi was doing here and was puzzled as to why he was not afraid of Ji Hu.

Xuan Yuanzi explained:

"It’s because I’m here to explain the Dao Law to the Innate Divine Demons. Since I myself have the background of an Innate Divine Demon, they trust me considerably. Thus, I’m able to settle here, and even the Master of Quiet Cave treats me with courtesy."

Wang Ba nodded in realization, "I see."

The doubts in his heart suddenly dissipated significantly.

Xuan Yuanzi has been lurking in the Little Cang World for years, frequently interacting with cultivators. Compared to ordinary Innate Divine Demons, his understanding and comprehension of the Dao Law are naturally higher, and guiding these Innate Divine Demons is not too difficult.

As they spoke, the three of them, including Ji Hu, swiftly passed by numerous World Eaters.

These World Eaters instinctively feared the Innate Divine Demons, but were not afraid of cultivators. Sensing Wang Ba’s aura, they didn’t dare act rashly, but upon detecting Tao Bingji’s aura, they all ground their teeth and sucked their blood, eager to make a move.

Fortunately, while Wang Ba was chatting with Xuan Yuanzi, he kept an eye on Tao Bingji’s situation. With a wave of his sleeve, he immediately isolated Tao Bingji’s mortal aura.

The surrounding World Eaters were no longer tempted and scattered at once.

Tao Bingji gratefully glanced at Wang Ba.

The group moved extremely fast. Even though Xuan Yuanzi deliberately slowed his pace to carefully explain some matters to Wang Ba, they quickly crossed an area dense with Chaos Origin Substance, and their view opened up instantly.

Within the deep dark void enveloped by Chaos Origin Substance, a huge palace was faintly visible, nestled in the darkness.

Its colors were splendid, its style old and grandiose with a strong and weighty aura, markedly different from the architecture of cultivators.

Inside the palace resided a mysterious, esoteric, concealed yet unavoidable immense presence.

Apparently sensing movement, a dull voice slowly echoed from within the palace, as if countless voices overlapped:

"Xuan Yuanzi, who have you brought?"

Xuan Yuanzi replied respectfully:

"Returning to the master, the person beside me is True Man Taiyi, who slew many Bodhisattva Arhats during the Cloud Sky Realm war. He recently unified Zhang’s Ruins and wishes to ally with our Quiet Cave to collectively confront the Supreme True Buddha... He has bestowed upon me the grace of the Dao and doesn’t harbor hostility towards Innate Divine Demons..."

His words were calmly interrupted by that dull voice:

"He has granted you grace, yet do I not have any benevolence towards you?"

Xuan Yuanzi was stunned.

After hesitating, he solemnly continued:

"The master naturally has grace upon me, Xuan Yuanzi dare not forget, but I vow with my life and Dao path that this True Man Taiyi is not one of those Cloud Sky Realm cultivators..."

Before he finished speaking, an astonishing pressure suddenly emanated from within the palace, silently enveloping the area!

Along with the pressure was the slightly angry, dull voice within the palace:

"For the sake of a cultivator, do you intend to betray Quiet Cave?"

Xuan Yuanzi was sent flying like a cannonball by this pressure, crashing into the Chaos Origin Substance behind, startling countless World Eaters who scattered like birds and beasts...

Ji Hu’s face changed, then coldly glared at Wang Ba with snake eyes, yet dared not make the slightest move, standing respectfully in the void.

Wang Ba’s face changed slightly. Without a moment’s hesitation, he grabbed Tao Bingji, his figure flashed, landing in front of Xuan Yuanzi, with the Yellow Dao Domain silently manifesting in front. Behind him, the shadows of numerous divine beasts began to gather, all glaring towards the direction of the palace!

Behind him came the sound of Xuan Yuanzi coughing:

"No! Cough cough..."

"Do, do not act impulsively."

Wang Ba’s expression condensed, his gaze flickered, only to see Xuan Yuanzi, looking dejected, swiftly flying over from behind the Chaos Origin Substance.

"Taoist Friend, are you alright?"

Seeing Wang Ba’s eyes filled with worry and apology, Xuan Yuanzi smiled and gave him a look, then passed him, standing in front of Wang Ba, bowing towards the palace direction:

"Xuan Yuanzi has not betrayed Quiet Cave... The master previously challenged the Supreme True Buddha, creating enmity, and without those Cloud Sky Realm cultivators to shield us, Quiet Cave will eventually be engulfed in war. Instead of this, why not support this True Man Taiyi to restrain the Supreme True Buddha..."

"With him?"

Inside the palace, a voice coldly laughed, seemingly indifferent.

Wang Ba’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Yet Xuan Yuanzi shook his head and said:

"Cultivators have infinite potential, unlike us. Who knows if he might eventually surpass us?"

"Does the master know how many years he has cultivated?"

The voice inside the palace dismissed:

"I have seen countless extraordinarily talented individuals, but truly reaching such a realm as mine are only a few..."

Xuan Yuanzi respectfully replied:

"Only over six thousand years."

The palace and the surrounding void instantly fell silent.

Ji Hu, who had been afraid to speak, suddenly widened his serpent eyes when he heard this:

"How, how much?"

Xuan Yuanzi seemed unaware of the subtle atmosphere, continued respectfully:

"Counting with fingers, over six thousand years, perhaps still less, from a mortal who never set foot in cultivation to over three hundred years ago, overthrowing twenty-odd Bodhisattvas single-handedly..."

"Over six thousand years... isn’t that just a nap’s length?"

Originally, Ji Hu’s erect and cold serpent eyes were now wide open, unable to help but turn to Wang Ba, with a fierce glint emerging in his eyes.

If it is truly as Xuan Yuanzi said, just over six thousand years for this True Man Taiyi to rise from a mere mortal to the present realm, such a person, if not killed early, would be a waste of this heaven-given opportunity!
