The appearance of the purple baby elephant took Chen Changâan by surprise.
However, when the little elephant began romping around in his arms, he couldnât help but hold it.
The sense of their destinies being intertwined was unmistakable.
And after all, the baby was innocent, right?
"Grunt~!"
Held in Chen Changâanâs arms, the small purple elephant frolicked happily, as if it particularly enjoyed being nestled in Chen Changâanâs embrace.
At this point, Chen Changâan began to carefully observe this baby elephant.
Its skin was purple, but according to the shared information Chen Changâan had received, this color could change.
Although the baby elephant was a divine elephant, since it was still young, it couldnât continuously maintain its Chaos divine elephant form.
Most of the time, it would transform into a regular elephant or dragon-elephant appearance. Unless provoked, no one would know its true nature.
After briefly testing, Chen Changâan discovered that this baby elephant had a very thick skin.
Chen Changâan wasnât sure exactly how thick.
But what he could be sure of was that, as of now, there was probably nobody in this world who could penetrate its defense.
In maturity, it would be an invincible divine elephant that suppresses the world.
This time, he could only say that he had stumbled upon a treasure.
"Little fellow, whatâs your name?"
After taking a good look at it, Chen Changâan held the baby elephant and asked softly.
"Grunt~grunt~"
Hearing Chen Changâanâs words, the baby elephant seemed to understand that Chen Changâan was asking something. Its four legs kicked excitedly, it grunted joyfully a couple of times, and happily flapped its large ears, appearing to be quite affectionate and pleased.
"Since your ears are so big, how about I call you Little Duo?"
"Grunt~grunt~?"
The baby elephant grunted twice, seemingly questioning the logic of Chen Changâanâs proposal.
Because my ears are big, youâre calling me Little Duo?
"Grunt grunt~."
However, after only a brief moment of questioning, the baby elephant grunted twice more, seemingly very happy with the two-word name.
"Alright, your name is Little Duo from now on."
After giving the baby elephant a name, Chen Changâan returned to the spot where the divine elephant statue had shattered and picked up the two scattered sheepskin scrolls.
"The Divine Elephant that Rampages in Hell."
"The Divine Elephant that Supresses Hell."
Confirmed, these were what he was looking for.
Seeing the content of the two sheepskin scrolls, Chen Changâan couldnât help but nod. This was what he wanted.
"Letâs go, little fellow, weâre going home."
After tucking the two scrolls away, Chen Changâan said to the baby elephant, Little Duo.
"Grunt grunt~!"
Little Duo understood what Chen Changâan said and promptly transformed into a beam of light, disappearing on the spot.
It didnât disappear or leave, it entered Chen Changâanâs Inner World.
The Inner World, a small world cultivated by a seventh realm cultivator, reflecting the essence of the cultivatorâs inner self.
In each Inner World cultivated by a cultivator, a imprinted phantom, also called an imprinted spirit, will emerge at a mature stage.
The imprinted spirits can be human, they can be objects, they can even be supreme beings from ancient history.
The forms can be varied: Buddha, demon, Dao, Confucius, beast, Immortal, etc.
The specific form depends on the âDaoâ the cultivator follows.
For example, if one cultivates Buddhismâs orthodox Buddhist Law, the imprinted spirit will likely be a Buddha.
Talented cultivators may cultivate the original Ancient Buddha or even the original Buddha, while those slightly inferior would at least cultivate an Ancient Little Buddha.
If cultivators have other Dao besides their main one, then other secondary spirits would emerge alongside the main spirit.
Of course, no matter if it is the primary spirits or secondary ones, each spirit represents a unique Dao and is irreplaceable.
The reason why Bai Banxian was frightened during Chen Changâanâs reading was because he saw those imprinted spirits inside Chen Changâanâs Inner World.
It is understandable that Bai Banxian was shocked.
Who wouldnât be surprised seeing so many existences that have been invincible for many ages found within Chen Changâanâs Inner World.
"Grunt grunt~!"
When little Divine Elephant, Little Duo, arrived in Chen Changâanâs Inner World, it was still in a state of chaotic evil.
In the world around, there were terrible god-demons immersed in the surroundings, roaring, clamoring, and battling!
Boom~!
It was the collision of different Dao.
Amid the collisions, dreadful god-demons were killed and devoured, while those that devoured others underwent terrifying evolution.
They seemed to have received nourishment from the source, evolving towards a higher level of Chaos form.
Each evolution made their aura of Chaos surge more powerfully, and they also became stronger with every progression. It seemed as if everything was becoming more alive.
This was evolution!
Without a doubt, the Ten Thousand Paths Association inside Chen Changâan was devouring different Dao to evolve.
Those Dao that were devoured wouldnât disappear. They were still there inside Chen Changâan, and they would regenerate after a while.
And then they started to attack the surrounding Dao!
There was no strongest, only stronger. If they were not killing, they were on the way to kill.
These are the Ten Thousand Paths inside Chen Changâanâs body.
