Capítulo 2483: Chapter 230: Fish (Part 2)

True Man Gai’s face slightly tensed, looking at the back of the Master of Quiet Cave, his gaze flicking with a few threads of cold killing intent.

Then he withdrew his gaze, looking at Heavenly Monarch Chao, and frowned, saying:

“Taoist Friend, why are you entangled with the Master of Quiet Cave?”

“We need to deal with Tianshang, if he were to turn around and leak the information…”

Heavenly Monarch Chao slowly shook his head, his gaze carrying some certainty:

“He won’t.”

Hearing this, True Man Gai pondered for a moment and said no more.

The Master of Quiet Cave isn’t this type of person; this, he actually knew well. If the other really had such intentions, they wouldn’t have been so easily deceived.

But the natural distrust towards Innate Divine Demons made him instinctively repel everyone on the Quiet Cave’s side, hence his cautious defense.

“Then let’s wait for the news from Taoist Friend Xiahou.”

True Man Gai said in a solemn voice.

Heavenly Monarch Chao did not speak, only glanced at Wang Ba, whose face was devoid of any emotion, revealing a glimpse of sorrow.

With a wave of his hand, he put away the messaging Dao Treasure.

True Man Gai’s figure then disappeared.

He then flew down next to Wang Ba, reaching out to take him in.

But at this moment, the Wu Monkey King, who was guarding beside Wang Ba, suddenly leaped out.

In his hand floated a Black Gold Mixed Iron Rod, his facial hair bristled, and he looked vigilantly at Heavenly Monarch Chao, baring sharp upper canine teeth.

Looking at the wariness on the Wu Monkey King’s face, Heavenly Monarch Chao felt no anger; instead, he felt even more sorrowful and angry.

He sighed deeply:

“I know you are loyal, but Taiyi is already…”

The Wu Monkey King paid no heed, carefully protecting Wang Ba’s body behind him with one hand, wielding the Black Gold Mixed Iron Rod with the other, and then leapt toward Zhang’s Ruins behind him.

Seeing this scene, Heavenly Monarch Chao was slightly taken aback, and a sigh emerged in his heart once again:

“He is the Ruins Master of Zhang’s Ruins; it’s barely like returning to one’s roots…”

After a moment of hesitation, he gently extended his hand.

From afar, in Zhang’s Ruins, a green stream of light suddenly flew out, landing directly in his hand.

Caressing the words ‘Silkworm Dragon’ on the jade staff, Heavenly Monarch Chao felt an even more intense pain in his heart.

“Taiyi, Taiyi… alas!”

Though it was the Silkworm Dragon Realm’s Ultimate Treasure, at this moment, he didn’t want to see it at all.

This jade staff should have shone brightly in the hands of the descendant he saw as most promising to revive the Silkworm Dragon Realm, but now it could only…

In the desolation, Heavenly Monarch Chao put away the Silkworm Dragon Staff and then stumblingly, slowly escaped into the distant void.

…

“Am I still here…”

“It seems, my consciousness is still here…”

“Then where am I now?”

In a daze, Wang Ba seemed to hear the sound of flowing water echoing by his ear, along with conversations that were sometimes very close, sometimes very far.

At times, it was hazy like seeing flowers through the fog; at other times, it was chirpy like little birds; yet sometimes, the sound was as loud as thunder…

He shouldn’t be able to understand the language of these conversations, yet he seemed to faintly hear words like ‘master,’ ‘banquet,’ and ‘flowers and fruits.’

He could vaguely discern that the voices were all from women.

Despite being in a daze, some doubts naturally arose in his heart:

“Wasn’t I in the Realm Sea of Origin?”

“How could there be people conversing in the Realm Sea of Origin?”

“Now, what exactly is going on?”

He vaguely remembered trying to leave this origin to avoid ultimately becoming the nourishment for the Realm Sea of Origin.

But many memories were already blurred; he couldn’t even recall why he fell into this Realm Sea of Origin, only remembering the need to leave, to find any way to leave, as if this was an obsession stemming from deep within his nature…

However, as time passed, his thoughts gradually became clearer, and he pieced together a rough outline of those already blurred memories bit by bit.

He then suddenly startled awake:

“No, when I was falling into the Realm Sea of Origin, it seemed like I saw a hand!”

“Was I rescued?”

This thought seemed to possess a unique power; it instantly made him feel a renewed sense of awareness.

It was like suddenly realizing one was in a dream.

Splash—

‘Eyes’ opened!

The sound of water, distant yet loud conversations, instantly poured into his ‘ears’!

The ‘world’ seemed to have become clear all at once!

But he had no mind to listen to the outside sounds.

He stared blankly ‘upward.’

The dark blue ‘night sky’ seemed full of stars.

And beneath this night sky was a bridge, a circular canyon; the canyon’s walls were extremely peculiar, seemingly woven from vines, perfectly even.

There was also a towering mountain concealed within the dark blue, holding that long bridge in mid-air…

At this moment, he seemed to be at the bottom of this canyon, able to faintly ‘hear’ the sound of water flowing deep below.

He could also feel an obvious sense of shaking.

“Where is this?”

Wang Ba felt a genuine sense of confusion.

And just at that moment, as if sensing his awakening, from the ‘night sky’ above, came a booming female voice like thunder:

“You’re awake?”

Wang Ba was stunned, then immediately recalled.

This voice seemed to be the same as the one he heard at the final moment when trying to break out from the Realm Sea of Origin.

While he doubted where the other was hiding.

He suddenly felt the ‘canyon’ shudder violently.

The canyon then rapidly ascended, bypassing the ‘mountain’ at an incredible speed…

Before he could react, he saw a somewhat familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, extraordinarily large young face, nearly covering the entire top of the canyon. She slightly opened her mouth and lowered her voice, but it still boomed like thunder:

“How did you get here?”

“How is Lingxiao?”

“Have you found Wuhen?”

Upon hearing ‘Wuhen,’ he was taken aback:

“You, you are…”

“Master’s Wife?!”

At this moment, everything became utterly clear!

The young female face before him was indeed the former Palace Master of Yuanci Palace, one of the Nine Continents of Zhongsheng Continent, known as Old Blood Sea Lady, Li Yuehua!

Only, unlike her previous old crone appearance, now she presented herself as a young woman.

Due to the past connection with Yuchen in the Eightfold Sea, Wang Ba’s clone, Daoist Yuanci, took Yuchen as his master, thus calling Li Yuehua Master’s Wife.

In the past, after Daoist Yuanci and Qin Lingxiao sent Yuchen’s physical body to Zhongsheng Continent, inadvertently resolving Li Yuehua’s obsession, she then underwent Cultivation Ascension.

But at that time, she ascended outside the world and was attacked by a World Eater, so he once thought she had failed her ascension…

Yet he never expected that at this moment, they would meet here.

In his surprise and joy, Wang Ba wished to speak, only to find that he couldn’t open his mouth.

And Old Blood Sea Lady also seemed to sense Wang Ba’s inconvenience, frowning:

“Ah, I forgot you are still the True Spirit Fish, unable to speak.”

“It seems that you were of a high realm while alive, but unfortunately, you ended up here. If I hadn’t sensed your connection to me and swiftly lifted you out with the bamboo basket, you would have…”

As she spoke, from afar came an urgent voice:

“Yuehua, what are you dawdling for! Have you caught the fish? You’ll be in big trouble if you delay the master’s banquet!”

“Got it, got it, I’m coming now.”

The gigantic face quickly turned away, seemingly a bit nervous.

Revealing a hairstyle reminiscent of a maid.

At this moment, Wang Ba was inwardly shaken.

Looking around, he suddenly realized that the so-called canyon was actually a bamboo basket!

And that so-called long bridge above wasn’t a bridge at all but rather the handle of the basket.

He found himself inside the basket carried by Li Yuehua!

“Wait, the fish…”

Wang Ba grew alarmed.

Looking around the bamboo basket, an uneasy feeling welled up within him:

“Could it be, that I am the fish?”
