Chapter 706 Through the Rift Lies the Old Master’s Cave

After a long while, a neutral voice came from within the Nine Nether Ice Flame.

“Hm? Why is no one speaking?”

“Little Serpent, do you still remember me? I burned your shed skins for you several times.”

“And you, Little Tiger Cub—who knows how the Great Desolate Venerable came up with your name. Perhaps it was his accent.”

“As for you, Little Sapling, it has been so long. Why are you growing in such a rush? By right, you should only be one hundred and twenty thousand years old.”

When the Nine Nether Ice Flame finished speaking, the three overlord beasts were left utterly speechless.

Shen Mo saw that their postures had lowered considerably.

“Brother Ice…?”

“It truly is Brother Ice!”

“Brother Ice, you did not reincarnate? You still remember us?”

The three overlord beasts were beyond excited.

The Nine Nether Ice Flame said, “Tch, if I had not spoken, would you have erased Shen Mo’s memory?”

The three beasts could only respond with awkward laughter.

“Would you not say a few words?” The Nine Nether Ice Flame looked toward the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame.

“I shall not. I was not familiar with the Great Desolate Venerable,” the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame shook its head.

“Mm, then so be it. We will return to rest.” The Nine Nether Ice Flame nodded.

With that, both flames returned into Shen Mo’s divine palace and vanished.

Once they departed, the invisible pressure weighing upon the three overlord beasts lifted.

To them, the Nine Nether Ice Flame was like an elder parent.

Even the embarrassing things of their youth, such as wetting the bed, it likely knew in detail.

Before such an existence, they could not summon any of their overlord pride.

“Ahem…”

The Hanging Heaven Banyan Tree coughed, breaking the silence.

The Crimson-Blood Winged Tiger said solemnly, “I believe it is time to open the old master’s cave and send him inside.”

“Old Serpent, what do you think? Earlier your opposition was the strongest.”

The Blackdeath Sky Serpent froze. “Ah?”

After a moment it reacted, glaring fiercely at the Crimson-Blood Winged Tiger. “Nonsense! I was never opposed! I fully agreed!”

“I merely meant that the old master’s legacy is of utmost importance and must not be treated lightly.”

“When Old Bull first brought him here, I already noticed. This one is a peerless talent, a heavenly figure, utterly unlike the other human cultivators brought before!”

“He is destined to inherit the old master’s mantle!”

The Hanging Heaven Banyan Tree and the Crimson-Blood Winged Tiger: “…”

When it came to words, the serpent indeed excelled.

The Sky Azure Divine Bull chuckled smugly. “This time, you cannot blame me for recklessly bringing someone.”

The three overlord beasts all nodded in unison.

Shen Mo also laughed.

He had thought it would require lengthy persuasion.

He had not expected it to be so simple.

Boom—

The four overlord beasts moved together, arriving at the base of the highest peak in the Mangcang Mountains.

At first glance, the peak seemed ordinary, merely towering into the clouds.

Even when Shen Mo swept it with divine sense, he detected no palace hidden within.

“Please, old master, open the way!”

The four overlord beasts knelt in unison before the peak, like a tidal wave.

Their blood energy surged outward, flooding into the mountain.

From within the mountain’s belly came a rumbling roar.

Suddenly, a massive rift split open in the mountain’s core.

Shen Mo could not see what lay within.

But he immediately sensed there was a void rift hidden inside!

“Through the rift lies the old master’s cave.”

“We cannot go. Only you may enter.”

The Sky Azure Divine Bull said reverently.

Shen Mo was struck with realization.

No wonder he had not sensed anything.

So the Great Desolate Venerable’s cave was within the chaotic void currents, not in this Sacred Profound Heaven and Earth at all!

Within the void currents, filled with pure destructive aura, two figures were swiftly traversing.

Beneath them were two powerful void beasts.

Yet even without relying on the beasts, their mighty bodies and abundant spiritual power were enough to let them move freely through the void.

This was the power of Supremes.

Only Supremes could ignore most void beasts’ threats and roam the void at will.

Both Supremes were clad in black robes.

One was tall and broad, with a youthful face.

The other was hunched, showing signs of age.

The elder Supreme said in a deep voice, “Another minor world has fallen to the demons. This matter must be reported to the Holy Realm at once.”

The tall Supreme nodded.

Just as they were about to change direction, they suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation.

“Another minor world?”

Their hearts stirred, and they immediately rushed toward that direction.

Passing through several dangerous void vortices, they discovered a beam of light.

Enshrouded within the light was an ancient, vast world.

The tall Supreme was astounded. “This radiance… it is even older than the Sacred Profound Heaven and Earth.”

The elder Supreme was equally astonished. “This minor world… we have never seen it before.”

“And from the aura it emits, it seems it has not been corrupted by the demons!”

They exchanged glances, excitement rising in both their eyes.

An ancient minor world.

A minor world untouched by demonic corruption!

This was of utmost importance!

Such a world must be protected at all costs.

“Let us enter and see.”

They rushed toward the minor world together.

As they approached, the radiance grew larger and brighter.

Finally, it swallowed them whole.

To their senses, it was like passing through a veil of soft water.

When their vision cleared again, they found themselves above a boundless sea.

A gentle sea breeze brushed their faces.

Beneath them rolled the calm waves.

Not far ahead lay a city built along a harbor.

Many fishing boats floated upon the sea, casting nets.

They closed their eyes to sense.

The elder Supreme spoke solemnly. “The spiritual energy here is not dense. At most, it can support cultivators of the Manifestation Realm.”

The tall Supreme pointed toward the distant city. “Within that city, there is a Manifestation Realm cultivator. He should be the strongest in this minor world.”

“Let us seek him out.”

…

Atop the highest peak of Yuhai City stood a mature and graceful woman, gazing silently at the sea.

She wore a sky-blue palace dress that outlined her full curves perfectly.

Behind her stood several cultivators.

Without exception, they all stood respectfully at her side.

Even though they had traveled from afar, representing their sects to meet the Sect Master of Yuding Sect, at this moment none dared show the slightest impatience.

For they knew, each day, this Sect Master would stand here for a time, looking out over the sea.

This was already her unshakable habit.

Not even the most exalted guest could alter it.

At that moment, two fierce winds suddenly descended from the sky.

The cultivators immediately turned to the two figures, their vigilance rising.

In their perception, these two were like towering mountains, like vast oceans.

In one breath, they seemed like unfathomable masters.

In the next, they appeared as simple as children, easily seen through.

A host of contradictory feelings converged upon these two.

They were impossible to fathom.

“Who are you? Why have you suddenly appeared here? State your identities!”

A female cultivator of Yuding Sect stepped forward, her voice cold and solemn.
