CapĂtulo 2413: Chapter 207: Master of Quiet Cave
âLittle Friend Wang?â
From the stream of light, a figure swiftly emerged.
Clad in white, appearing youthful, it truly was the True Spirit Mystic Tortoise, Xuan Yuanzi, of the past Little Cang World!
Upon seeing Wang Ba, Xuan Yuanzi was both surprised and delighted, yet somewhat disbelieving of his own eyes, clearly unexpecting to meet Wang Ba here.
Wang Ba was also indescribably overjoyed.
Of lifeâs three great joys, encountering an old friend in a distant land was doubtless the most joyous at this moment.
However, upon seeing Xuan Yuanzi, Wang Ba couldnât help but glance past him at the Innate Divine Demons in the Chaos Origin Substance, filled with both delight and confusion:
âTaoist Friend Xuan Yuanzi, how did you come to be here?â
Xuan Yuanzi also expressed his amazement:
âI havenât yet asked you, Taoist Friend, your reason for being here isâŠâ
As they spoke, the Innate Divine Demon with the head of a snake and the body of a man, Ji Hu, who had just forced Wang Ba back, swiftly flew over, eyeing Wang Ba with vigilance and suspicion. Its tongue flickered, eyes gleaming with dangerous light. It then slightly turned its head to Xuan Yuanzi and said solemnly:
âBe wary of this cultivator, do not let him deceive you.â
Xuan Yuanzi was slightly taken aback, then seemed to understand something, hurriedly comforting Ji Hu with a smile:
âBrother Ji Hu, do not worry, he is a dear old friend from before my Cultivation Ascension. I never expected to meet him here today. I just want to have a chat with him, thereâs no need to be concerned.â
Wang Ba was about to explain but upon witnessing this scene, he couldnât help but freeze.
His heart was secretly astonished.
This Xuan Yuanzi seemed to be quite familiar with the Innate Divine Demons of the Quiet Cave?
What surprised him even more was that the Innate Divine Demon Ji Hu hesitated, glanced at Xuan Yuanzi, and then actually retreated a few steps, though it still watched Wang Ba vigilantly, as if any movement from him would provoke a full-force strike.
This scene slightly moved Wang Baâs heart, and the words on his lips stopped.
Xuan Yuanzi persuaded the Innate Divine Demon to leave, then turned with a smile to Wang Ba, joyfully saying:
âHaha, Little Friend Wang, I truly didnât expect to see you here.â
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba also regained his senses and couldnât help but sigh:
âI also truly didnât expect it. When you solved your body and ascended, I thought I would meet you in the Cloud Sky Realm. Yet, unexpectedly, you came here instead⊠I suppose you have your own story, Taoist Friend?â
Xuan Yuanzi laughed carefreely, not hiding anything, nodded and said:
âIndeed, I originally thought I would ascend to the Cloud Sky Realm, but while I was born within the realm, I still inherited the traits of an Innate Divine Demon. Thus, after ascension, although I could go to the Cloud Sky Realm, by chance, I ended up drifting into the Realm Sea of Origin. After wandering for a while, I was discovered by the Master of Quiet Cave, who reshaped my body and settled me here. This is how I came to be in this form.â
As he spoke, he lightly raised his hand, and his aura surged forth, still carrying the flavor of an Innate Divine Demon.
However, his realm was much higher than when he was in Little Cang World, now at an early-stage Eighth Tier.
âInnate Divine Demon?â
Wang Ba was slightly stunned, and his eyes couldnât help but reveal a complex expression.
Xuan Yuanzi had pursued for a lifetime, only wanting to shed the shell of an Innate Divine Demon and be reborn as a human to embark upon the Great Path anew, yet after all his struggles, he was still trapped in the shell of an Innate Divine Demon.
Xuan Yuanzi himself, however, wasnât too disappointed, seeing Wang Baâs complex expression, he cheerfully said:
âActually, itâs not a big deal. The body reshaped by the Master of Quiet Cave is much more formidable than when I was in Little Cang World⊠Moreover, here, I also have a way to shed this shell, itâs just that Iâm currently entangled in mundane affairs, and the time has not yet come.â
Wang Ba did not inquire further, thinking he was like Tao Bingji, wanting to find a Domain to reincarnate and be reborn, he nodded reassuringly:
âIf you can walk the Great Path, that would be ideal. If it doesnât work out, you can always return to my Little Cang World, itâs doing well enough presently.â
âOh, how is Little Cang World now? Has the Chaos Origin Substance from outside been replenished?â
Speaking of Little Cang World, Xuan Yuanzi showed interest.
Wang Ba did not hide too much from his old friend, merely omitted matters involving the immortals, and with a few brief words conveyed his experiences of wandering with Little Cang World, mentioning the battle with the Six-fingered Divine Demon, and subsequently escaping into the Chaotic Sea, Xuan Yuanzi could not help but be greatly surprised, exclaiming:
âAfter I left, Taoist Friend, youâve had such rich experiences! I regret missing it, otherwise, perhaps I could have contended with that Six-fingered Divine Demon.â
His original Mystic Tortoise form was strong enough to be considered unmatched even among the late-stage Seventh Tier, and facing the then Six-fingered Divine Demon, it was indeed unclear who would prevail.
Xuan Yuanzi felt a deep sense of regret, while Wang Baâs heart was filled with emotion.
Many things experienced along the way, now seemed ordinary, even able to elicit a smile from an old friend, yet back then those experiences were all life-and-death struggles.
If possible, he truly did not wish to go through such things again.
âWhat surprised me even more was that Taoist Friend is the distinguished True Man Taiyi of the Cloud Sky Realm. When I went outside in search of Dao Law, those cultivators were curious about your previously unknown renown, not knowing from which Great Realm you emerged. Little did they know you came from Little Cang World⊠Iâm honored to have known you, haha.â
Recalling his past encounters, Xuan Yuanzi couldnât help but laugh with joy, but then he realized something, his expression slightly tensed, and he asked in surprise:
