CapĂtulo 2467: Chapter 225: Conceptions
The Canlong Realm.
Heavenly Monarch Chao stood atop the Sky Dome within the realm, repeatedly extending his palm as if reeling silk, continuously reaching out to the void and weaving into the surrounding emptiness. Sometimes, he furrowed his brows lightly, sometimes he appeared thoughtful, sometimes he showed a hint of joy.
At this moment, the figure of Wang Ba silently appeared beside him, respectfully saying:
âMaster Chao, I have returned.â
To Wang Baâs appearance, Heavenly Monarch Chao showed no surprise. He clarified the rules among them and then retracted his palm, a smile emerged on his face as he pointed to the land below:
âThe personnel sent from Zhangâs Ruins have arrived here. With these people, the Canlong Realm now has a lively atmosphere. Afterward, I shall seek suitable Domains to transplant here, assisting Canlong Realm in breaking through to a Great Realm, though this requires your watchful eye here.â
Wang Ba, hearing this, naturally agreed, and then released Tie Zhu.
Upon seeing the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox, Heavenly Monarch Chao was first stunned, then exclaimed in surprise:
âHow did you capture it?â
Wang Ba was slightly surprised:
âMaster Chao knows?â
Heavenly Monarch Chao nodded:
âHow could I not know? You found it at the Soul Falling.â
Wang Ba nodded upon hearing this, then questioned:
âSince Master knew, why didnât you capture it?â
Heavenly Monarch Chao said with a smile:
âWithin the Realm Sea, divine beast tribes outside of Domains are rare. I deliberately left them there before without taking action, considering that someday when our Canlong Realm disciples venture out, they might gain something from there.â
âSo thatâs the reason.â
Wang Ba suddenly realized, initially puzzled why the Soul Falling wasnât far from Duanhai Cliffâs four Great Realms, and Heavenly Monarch Chao, a Mahayana Cultivator, hadnât discovered it. Now, he understood that the master had long known, merely leaving an opportunity for later disciples.
He couldnât help showing a sheepish expression:
âSo, have I disrupted Master Chaoâs arrangements?â
However, Heavenly Monarch Chao waved his hand with a smile:
âThe original Canlong Realm is gone; what is the use of that opportunity? Moreover, your ability to subdue this beast shows your skill. Itâs better to utilize it now, as each moment is different. Besides, the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox has a troublesome origin. It hails from the Jicang Abyssâ Heavenly Demon Cave. If rashly taken in, its knowledge could lead to troubles with the Heavenly Demon Cave.â
âHeavenly Demon Cave?â
Wang Ba had just learned this name from the Eight-tailed Heavenly Foxâs mouth, and couldnât help but become curious:
âMaster Chao, what exactly is the Heavenly Demon Cave?â
Heavenly Monarch Chao explained:
âYou should remember I mentioned earlier that near Jicang Abyss, there is a Domain established by divine beasts?â
âThat Domain is the Heavenly Demon Cave, one of the few divine beast-centered Domains within the Realm Sea. Were it here with us, the Heavenly Demon Cave might not prosper. But because itâs in Jicang Abyss, where rules are a mutation, cultivators donât have the upper hand there, allowing these divine beasts to rule and dominate, leveraging the mutation to transform beasts into humans, self-titled âYaoâ, hence the name âHeavenly Demon Cave Yaoâ. They are hostile towards us cultivators, and knowing that a fellow has been subdued by us could make them query. The Heavenly Demon Cave reportedly houses Mahayana cultivators as well.â
âOf course, compared to the threat from Supreme True Buddhaâs side, itâs not much. When the debt is heavy, thereâs no need to worry.â
With that, Heavenly Monarch Chao laughed heartily, appearing extremely carefree and bold.
Wang Ba couldnât help but nod upon hearing this.
He surely wasnât much afraid of the Heavenly Demon Cave, firstly because itâs far away, and secondly, compared to the threat from Tianshang Buddha Lord, the Heavenly Demon Cave seemed inconsequential.
Nevertheless, thinking of this, he suddenly had some ideas in his mind, thoughtfully gazing at the Tie Zhu by his feet.
Tie Zhu, being stared at by Wang Ba, inexplicably felt a chill down his spine and revealed a flattering smile in unease.
Wang Ba, pondering, asked Heavenly Monarch Chao:
âIf the Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox were thrown to Tianshang Buddha Lord to be viciously killed by them, would it incite conflict between the Heavenly Demon Cave and Supreme True Buddha?â
Upon hearing this, Tie Zhuâs fur stood upright!
His two bewitching eyes suddenly widened in terror, staring at Wang Ba.
Heavenly Monarch Chao, hearing the words, grew somewhat interested, considered for a moment, then shook his head:
âProbably not. The Supreme True Buddha is the most formidable force I know of within the Realm Sea. The Heavenly Demon Cave is mighty, but it only reigns near the Jicang Abyss. It likely wonât provoke such a powerful entity just over one Eight-tailed Heavenly Fox⊠Of course, should we have hopes of defeating Tianshang Buddha Lord, they might indeed intervene.â
Listening to Wang Ba and Heavenly Monarch Chao discussing freely in front of him how to dispose of him, Tie Zhu shivered, hastily speaking human language:
âHeavenly Monarch! Immortal! I⊠I am just a common divine beast in the Heavenly Demon Cave. Even if I die there, none of the Yao will careâŠâ
Seeing Tie Zhu so terrified, Wang Ba and Heavenly Monarch Chao exchanged smiles.
Heavenly Monarch Chao gently coughed, then said solemnly:
âStarting with this beast, the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled Technique might indeed show some hope in cultivating a Ninth-Tier divine beast.â
At this, he became interested, inspecting the trembling Tie Zhu, a gleam in his eyes. Then, he told Wang Ba:
âI once planned to capture this Black Fox and crafted several bloodline fusion schemes for it. I shall share them with you now⊠youâve already cultivated the Five Spirits, correct?â
