Chapter 182 - 182 179 I Shall Care for Your Wife and Daughters
Chapter 182: Chapter 179: I Shall Care for Your Wife and Daughters Chapter 182: Chapter 179: I Shall Care for Your Wife and Daughters Within the depths of the Endless Void, spatial turbulence surged everywhere.
This was an attached space of the Biluo Great World, distinct from the boundlessly vast cosmic starry sky, where the spatial turbulence seemed especially chaotic, much like the tides within the ocean, appearing out of the void storms at any given moment.
Two figures emerged in the void, one tall and formidable, radiating a fierce aura, and the other small and wiry, his back slightly hunched, appearing from a distance almost like a large rat of an old man.
“Elder, I’ve sensed it; my White Tiger Saber is nearby in this expanse of void.”
Luo Zhancheng spoke reverently to the diminutive old man beside him, “But ever since arriving in this region, I’ve flown for nearly two hours, following the sensation, and couldn’t get any stronger leads.
Is there something peculiar about this area that’s keeping me looping around here?”
“Oh?”
The old man’s eyes, previously squinted, suddenly popped open round as two sharp glints shot out, scanning the surrounding void.
After a long while, he chuckled, “It’s not that there’s some maze within the void here, it’s that we are near Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven.
It’s just that the Cave Heaven has been concealed, thus we cannot see where it lies.
…
That’s why you’ve been circling around the outskirts of Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven.”
“I see.”
Luo Zhancheng heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
His combat strength was formidable, and he could traverse even the outer starry space, but strong combat strength did not equate to a deep understanding of the Space Dao.
From the moment he entered this spatial turbulence, he felt somewhat apprehensive.
This place was dangerous, and if it weren’t for Elder Kongkong occasionally pulling him out of peril, he likely would have perished in this vast void by now.
“Elder, do you have a way to find exactly where Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven is?”
Luo Zhancheng asked.
He had great confidence in Elder Kongkong.
In fact, had Elder Kongkong not personally escorted him on this journey, he would not have dared to venture here.
Among all the Supreme Elders of the Beast Taming Sect, only Elder Kongkong’s exploration of the Space Dao was the most profound.
“Hehehe…”
Elder Kongkong’s laughter was filled with slyness and sleaziness, making it easy to feel that the old man seemed to be plotting something bad.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry.
Now that we’re certain that Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven is in this area, it can’t possibly escape the eyes of this elder.”
As he spoke, a giant rat suddenly appeared above his head.
The rat was a hundred zhang in length, completely white, and what was most astounding was that its slender tail was more than three times the length of its body.
This wasn’t his Spiritual Beast; instead, it was the manifestation of his Dharma Image Primordial Spirit.
Once Beast Taming Sect cultivators reached the Dharma Image Realm, they would merge their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts into their Dharma Images, eventually uniting them with their Primordial Spirits.
They could possess both human and Spiritual Beast forms, with all the abilities of the Spiritual Beast fully becoming the cultivators’ own.
Moreover, since their Spiritual Beasts’ strengths were fully integrated with their own, they became much more powerful than ordinary Dharma Image cultivators upon their initial promotion.
Engaging in combat in the form of their Spiritual Beast would also make their combat abilities even more formidable.
In fact, the Cultivation World had all sorts of Dharma Images, including various dragons, phoenixes, Qilins, and other Divine Beasts and Fierce Beasts within other sects.
There were also Dharma Images of swords, spears, blades, halberds, mountains, rivers, and even ghosts, demons, and other forms, plenty in number, each unique; the Beast Taming Sect, however, specialized in this particular method.
Above, the giant rat, with eyes shining brightly, looked around, its gaze whirling erratically at the void in all directions.
After a long while, Elder Kongkong’s sparse eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he snorted coldly, “Heavenly Pool Ancestor truly has some skills, managing to hide the Cave Heaven to this extent.
Even I can’t easily see through it.
If it weren’t for you confirming that the White Tiger Saber is nearby, I might have doubted that Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven was even here.”
“Is it that hard to find?”
Luo Zhancheng was surprised.
Elder Kongkong’s command of Space Law was not only the strongest within the Beast Taming Sect but also among the few in the entire Southern Domain who could claim to surpass him in this aspect.
It was unexpected that even Elder Kongkong found it difficult to locate Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, which showed that the concealment techniques employed by this Cave Heaven were indeed extraordinary.
“Hehe, not to worry; they’re just some small concealment tricks.
It will take me a bit more effort, that’s all.”
Elder Kongkong snickered, “I’ll use a few more methods to test it out.
Now that we’ve confirmed this area, there can’t be no traces left behind.
After all, the Cave Heaven also needs to follow a specific orbit.
As long as I find its pathway, I will be able to completely pinpoint it.”
With that, the giant rat above darted off, suddenly running around the void spanning a thousand li.
As the rat ran, an invisible wave spread in all directions from its body, and gradually, the void within a thousand li came under Elder Kongkong’s perception.
Then, like a flash of lightning, the rat began to circle the area of the void, continually shrinking the space; in just an hour or two, it had already circled the region hundreds of times.
The area now enclosed by its route had been reduced to merely four or five hundred li.
As the range narrowed, its speed also increased more and more rapidly.
Suddenly, a series of squeaking noises emitted from its mouth.
The sound was so headache-inducing and offensively unpleasant to listen to, but Elder Kongkong’s face lit up with delight.
With a flash, he whisked Luo Zhancheng through the void and appeared directly above the giant rat.
He had to bring Luo Zhancheng with him; otherwise, in the wildly turbulent spatial currents, it wouldn’t be long before the man was swept away, eventually torn into pieces by the incessantly shifting void.
After Elder Kongkong arrived above the giant rat’s head, he sat down cross-legged, sinking his spirit into the space below, and closed his eyes to feel it out carefully.
Gradually, he locked onto a part of the void through the sound and fluctuations of breath.
“Found it.”
Suddenly, Elder Kongkong opened his eyes and looked towards a corner of the void, chuckling, “Excellent, excellent, excellent.
Such a clever means to conceal a Cave Heaven.
I’ve learned something new, heh heh heh.
In the future, when I hide things in the void, I can also use this method for reference.”
Luo Zhancheng was speechless, “Elder, you’re always the one stealing from others.
When has anyone ever stolen from you to the extent that you need to hide things so secretly?
And you, hiding so many things all over the place, aren’t you worried you’ll forget where they are over time?
It would be like throwing away treasures for nothing.”
Elder Kongkong shot him a disdainful look and said, “What do you know?
I have to leave some tricks up my sleeve for the Sect.
Otherwise, if the Sect were to face calamity in the future, it wouldn’t be able to rise again without resources.
If we don’t conceal things well enough, they’ll be hunted down by the numerous Sects of the Southern Domain as the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven is, explored countless times over.
The treasures within the Cave Heaven have long since been plundered, with only some common Spiritual Objects left.
Even if the Heavenly Pool Ancestor did leave a legacy, his disciples would struggle to develop using the Cave Heaven now.”
“But if you hide it so well that no one can find it, aren’t you worried?”
“What’s there to worry about?
If the Sect truly faces a catastrophe, I’ll obviously leave clues for the future generations.”
While Elder Kongkong said this, the giant rat continued to carry them forward, breaking through the swirling spatial currents until they arrived in front of an invisible barrier and finally stopped.
“This is it?”
Luo Zhancheng probed curiously with his Divine Sense and faintly discovered something odd about this place.
“Heh heh, the chaotic spatial currents outside the Cave Heaven World must have been interfered with by the Heavenly Pool Ancestor.”
Elder Kongkong’s voice sounded with a peculiar laugh while he swiftly set up a Teleportation Array.
“Get on the Array.
Take out that imitation Golden Light Mirror; it’s a trigger for the Guiding Array inside.
Place it in the center of the Teleportation Array and connect to your White Tiger Saber with your Divine Sense to lock the position.
In a moment, I’ll break the spatial barrier of the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven and disrupt the defensive Power of Laws.
Following that, you’ll initiate the Teleportation Array to enter.
Don’t worry, the Guiding Array where the White Tiger Saber is will receive you and take you through.”
Luo Zhancheng nodded and obediently stood on the Teleportation Array.
He was somewhat nervous at heart.
Honestly, if the Cave Heaven weren’t of great use to the Sect, he really wouldn’t want to take this risk.
The laws within the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven were relatively intact.
If anything went awry and he didn’t teleport into the underground space, with his power, he would hardly be able to withstand the Power of Laws for long before potentially being completely suppressed by it.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid; I’m here.
You’ll definitely be safe and sound.”
The gleam in Elder Kongkong’s eyes shone brightly as he looked around the outside of the Heavenly Pool Cave Heaven for a suitable spot to intervene, comforting him, “Considering how well this Cave Heaven is hidden, it’s very likely not set up by those old timers from Taiyi Mountain.
Given their understanding of the Space Dao, they definitely couldn’t achieve this.
So don’t worry.
Even if there’s a glitch in the teleportation, as long as you can hold out for a quarter of an hour, I can fish you out.”
“What if I can’t hold out for a quarter of an hour?”
“Oh, then you don’t have to worry about what happens afterward.
I will take care of your wife and children.
With me here, no one will bully them.”
Elder Kongkong replied without much concern, which nearly choked Luo Zhancheng.
He glared with eyes wide as copper bells, staring intently at Elder Kongkong’s slender neck for quite some time.
If he didn’t know that he was no match for the Supreme Elder, he might have wanted to grab Elder Kongkong by the neck and give him a good thrashing.
Unfortunately, this idea he could only entertain in his mind and never dared to act on, or he might find himself trapped by the Supreme Elder in some corner of the void, left to reflect on what it means to respect the elder and love the young.
Elder Kongkong then instructed, “After teleporting, remember to set up the Array Plate I gave you; only then can I teleport over.
Otherwise, if I force my way in, it’s hard to say whether I could withstand the Cave Heaven’s laws, let alone refine the Cave Heaven itself.”
“Mmm.”
Luo Zhancheng responded with a sullen hum, which was as close to agreement as he could muster.
