Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2416 - 207: Master of Quiet Cave (Part 4)

Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
Xuan Yuanzi revealed his role in Quiet Cave, where his innate divine demon heritage allows him to teach Dao Law to its inhabitants, earning the Master's courtesy. As the group navigated through swarms of World Eaters, Wang Ba shielded Tao Bingji from their hunger, leading them to a grand, ancient palace shrouded in Chaos Origin Substance. Upon arrival, Xuan Yuanzi introduced Wang Ba as True Man Taiyi, a cultivator of immense potential who seeks alliance against the Supreme True Buddha, but the Master unleashed crushing pressure, accusing betrayal and hurling Xuan Yuanzi aside. Wang Ba moved to defend his ally, while Xuan Yuanzi pleaded for understanding, highlighting Wang Ba's astonishing rise from mortal to powerhouse in just over six thousand years, leaving the palace in stunned silence and igniting a fierce glint in Ji Hu's eyes.

Wang Ba's eyes narrowed just a touch, but he stayed completely still.

Having reached his current level, Wang Ba had gained profound clarity and discernment long ago, certain that he wouldn't err in judging people. Therefore, even with Xuan Yuanzi revealing bits of his history, Wang Ba held his calm demeanor, utterly unaffected.

Xuan Yuanzi appeared oblivious to this fact, continuing to speak respectfully to the presence inside the hall, while he bowed and declared:

"Killing this person might be an option, but what good does it do for the Quiet Cave?"

"On the contrary, the disciple of True Man Taiyi is the Innate Demon Reincarnation. Back then, he also helped me escape, and one of his Patriarchs is my Innate Demon Reincarnation... All indications show he’s not one of those Cloud Sky Realm cultivators biased against Innate Divine Demons."

"Among the human race cultivators, if one day a Mahayana Cultivator could stand on our side, wouldn’t it be better than facing enemies everywhere?"

"Xuan Yuanzi’s words might have personal motives, but also concern for the Quiet Cave. I hope the Master can discern this."

His tone rang with conviction, plunging both the hall and the surrounding void into utter quiet.

Wang Ba displayed a hint of astonishment, glancing at Xuan Yuanzi, taken aback by how persuasively he spoke.

From the depths of the hall, a heavy voice emerged slowly in the hush, its feelings hard to gauge:

"If that’s the case, let him stay in Quiet Cave for a few days, then send him away..."

With those words spoken,

"Wait..."

Wang Ba started to open his mouth, yet his pupils shrank as he abruptly detected a shadowy form surging out from the hall!

His heart clenched at once, his body blurring as he attempted to dodge.

Still, an immense power hit him squarely in that instant, impossible to escape or resist.

When he regained his bearings, he realized he was tumbling through the endless Chaos Origin Substance alongside Xuan Yuanzi and Tao Bingji, the hall now vanished from sight.

"Let me stay for some days, then send me away... What does this mean?"

Wang Ba examined his condition, finding no injuries. That previous blow didn't seem intended to harm, filling him with both wonder and doubt.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanzi gave a slight shake of his head, furrowed his brow, and replied:

"I'm not quite sure what it means either..."

"It’s a pity I couldn’t persuade him for you."

"But given the situation, at least he bears no malice towards you."

Wang Ba couldn't hold back a expression mixing thanks and regret:

"It’s all thanks to you for disregarding your safety just now."

"I’m not entirely doing it for you."

Xuan Yuanzi answered bluntly before shaking his head and adding:

"Forget it, regardless of this, since you’ve been allowed to stay for a few days, why not stay with peace of mind... Come, let me show you Quiet Cave’s Domain."

"Domain?"

Wang Ba felt a jolt of surprise and mild bewilderment:

"Do Innate Divine Demons also need a Domain?"

Xuan Yuanzi simply grinned:

"Innate Divine Demons naturally don’t need it, but... come, you’ll see."

With that said, he soared forward into the heart of the Chaos Origin Substance.

Curiosity piqued, Wang Ba hurried after Xuan Yuanzi without delay.

Soon enough, a shadowy Domain began to materialize amid the boundless Chaos Origin Substance, roughly a quarter the scale of the Cloud Sky Realm, encircled by World Eaters whose hungry stares fixed on it, yet some unseen barrier held them at bay.

Wang Ba probed the Domain's energy carefully, his face showing shock as he turned to Xuan Yuanzi:

"Is this a Great Realm?"

Xuan Yuanzi affirmed with a nod, his expression grave as he explained:

"Indeed, this is why Quiet Cave is established here."

"Here, numerous Innate Demon Reincarnation Bodies are hidden."
