“Reincarnation Body?”
Wang Ba gazed at Xuan Yuanzi in mild astonishment, yet in that very moment, the pieces fell into place all at once.
The mighty strength of Innate Divine Demons makes dominating a Domain straightforward, particularly when figures like the Master of Quiet Cave are involved—it's as easy as a gentle wind.
Achieving full command over a Great Realm is certainly noteworthy, but for these Innate Divine Demons, it demands only minimal exertion.
“So, this Domain serves as a special area to cultivate the reincarnation bodies of Innate Divine Demons, helping those bodies step onto the Great Dao?”
“That's correct,” Xuan Yuanzi affirmed with a nod, casting a somewhat sorrowful glance at the Great Realm ahead, “Legend has it this Domain was seized hundreds of thousands of years ago, but up to now, no Rob Cultivator has arisen from within.”
Upon hearing that, Wang Ba felt a touch of confusion: “After so many hundreds of thousands of years, and with all the Dao Law legacies obtained by Innate Divine Demons from capturing human cultivators, producing a Crossing Tribulation cultivator shouldn't be too hard, should it?”
“I figured the same, but the results turned out far different.” With those words, Xuan Yuanzi gave a faint shake of his head, “Anyway, enough about that, Taoist Friend—come with me inside to take a look.”
Right then, Xuan Yuanzi quickly guided Wang Ba beyond the World Eaters encircling the Domain, pressing onward.
As they drew near, an Innate Divine Demon appeared close by, its eyes scanning Wang Ba warily before it bowed politely to Xuan Yuanzi:
“Greetings, Master Xuan.”
“Master Xuan?”
Wang Ba felt a bit taken aback by the title.
Xuan Yuanzi let out an awkward laugh:
“Please pardon the amusement, Taoist Friend—I guide the cultivation of most Innate Divine Demons' reincarnation bodies in this place, so they show me this level of respect.”
Next, he turned to the Innate Divine Demon and directed, “Go ahead and lift the prohibition here.”
Xuan Yuanzi went on to explain to Wang Ba:
“This Domain holds great importance for the Quiet Cave, since the Master of Quiet Cave put in substantial work to seal it off, keeping the reincarnation bodies safe from cultivator influences once they start on the path of cultivation, avoiding any deviation from the ways of Innate Divine Demons.”
Grasping the idea, Wang Ba gave a small nod.
The Innate Divine Demon deactivated the prohibition.
Wang Ba hid his aura and swiftly trailed Xuan Yuanzi to pierce into the Domain, descending inside without delay.
He discovered it quite surprising; even though he brought the external aura with Xuan Yuanzi, stepping in triggered no resistance from the Great Realm, and no Thunder Tribulation descended, just like entering an utterly unprotected dwelling.
Wang Ba showed some amazement, probing the surroundings intently before exclaiming in wonder:
“This place actually lacks a Realm Spirit?”
Normally, any vibrant Domain would produce a Realm Spirit, except in cases like the Guantao Realm, where the Realm Spirit could choose to leave the Domain on its own.
Xuan Yuanzi clarified, “I'm not completely sure myself, but rumors say the Master of Quiet Cave destroyed the Realm Spirit during the assault on this Domain because it blocked the entry into the Realm; that step also simplified matters a great deal, or else we'd face rejection the moment we tried to enter.”
While they talked, he started showing Wang Ba the different features inside the Domain.
As Wang Ba followed Xuan Yuanzi's guidance and surveyed the area, he noted that although the Domain stretched wide with ideal weather and plentiful Spiritual Energy, its inhabitants were remarkably few, even scarcer than a minor nation on the old Fenglin Continent, boasting just a handful of thousand cultivators.
Wang Ba grew a little curious, inquiring:
“How come the numbers here are so low?”
Xuan Yuanzi let out a sigh:
“It's a mixed fortune, stemming from the missing Realm Spirit, which leaves domain authority beyond control. When a True Spirit reincarnates, locating the demon reincarnation body proves tough; therefore, by limiting the overall population in the Domain, they can methodically purge and identify the reincarnation body.”
Wang Ba commented reflectively: “Starting on the path of cultivation turns out to be oddly troublesome, doesn't it?”
His attention then shifted to the Domain, where numerous cultivators were honing their Dao Law, appearing fairly skilled, with Golden Core, Nascent Soul… and more than a dozen at Unification.
Xuan Yuanzi pointed them out sequentially:
“Over two thousand reincarnation bodies of Innate Divine Demons exist here, each marked separately; I've highlighted a few since we arrived, I handle those at Unification level or lower without much issue, but anything above gets complicated. Truth be told, I lack knowledge on advancing from Unification to Crossing Tribulation, and the ones who hold Crossing Tribulation realm now just happened to find the Realm Sea of Origin and got their forms reshaped by the Master of Quiet Cave, gaining that lucky break by chance.”
“Sadly, these Innate Divine Demons might not have much innate gift, as besides a handful, their advances remain rather slow; concerned it could stem from flaws in Dao Law, I've been heading out often these days, hunting for fitting Dao Laws in different spots to teach these reincarnation bodies.”
Wang Ba absorbed the words thoughtfully yet stayed quiet, merely giving a gentle nod as he kept pace with Xuan Yuanzi.
In this Great Realm, thanks to the endless supply of external Chaos Origin Substance, it counts as a paradise overflowing with rich Spiritual Energy.
Spirit Plants flourish everywhere, but Spirit Beasts are nowhere to be found—a quick thought clears it up, probably because these Innate Divine Demons fear their reincarnation bodies could become Spirit Beasts, so not a single one remains in this area.
Still, the variety and quality of Spirit Plants present here left Wang Ba quietly astounded.
Clearly, these Innate Divine Demons don't know how to make use of these Spirit Plants, and a mere glance reveals Class VI and even Seventh Tier Spirit Plant forms, shockingly, spirit materials abound in plenty, turning it into a true haven for such treasures.
