Chapter 1457: Chapter 61 Reunion

The dark blue slender figure briefly emerged within the violently churning waves.

Despite its fleeting appearance, the assembled Patriarchs could still sense the thick aura of an extramundane being, similar to that of the dark Water Buffalo.

Above the roaring waves, though the billows were tumultuous, for a moment, it seemed to fall silent.

Whether it was the jumpy White Clothed Child, the middle-aged Cultivator with a gentle face, the grey-clothed old Taoist who always wore a smile, or the woman in palace attire with a frosty expression.

All of them had extremely grave looks on their faces at this moment.

They had nearly exhausted themselves just now against a target that could not move, only to have finally dealt with it, and yet now another one appeared!

The four exchanged glances, their faces showing the ugliness of the situation.

They watched as the massive body of the dark Water Buffalo was quickly dragged into the sea, about to be completely submerged in the blink of an eye.

The White Clothed Child hesitated for a moment.

However, the woman in the palace attire snorted coldly and dashed towards the sea.

“I’ll take a look!”

Seeing the palace-dressed woman breaking in first.

The White Clothed Child clenched his teeth and also shouted:

“I’m going too.”

He was about to descend but was stopped by a trail of blue smoke blocking his path.

The White Clothed Child turned his head to look, and it turned out to be the Nine-hole Patriarch standing atop the incense burner.

He said with a slightly heavy tone:

“You have suffered severe damage to your origin. A further heavy blow might cause your true form to fall in rank. It’s better not to go down. Wait here for us.”

The White Clothed Child’s face rarely showed a hint of conflict.

After the Nine-hole Patriarch spoke, he quickly entered the incense burner and descended into the churning waters below.

In midair, the grey-clothed old Taoist hesitated for a while and finally sighed, then drifted down as well.

Only the White Clothed Child was left above the sea surface, anxiously looking downwards.

But at this moment, a figure flew rapidly from a distance.

The White Clothed Child, sensing the movement, turned to look.

The newcomer in a black scaled robe was none other than Daoist Yuanci, the incarnation of Wang Ba.

Daoist Yuanci hurried over, only to see the White Clothed Child alone on the vast sea, with the other three Patriarchs and the dark Water Buffalo nowhere in sight.

His expression immediately changed.

Without even pausing to say hello, he immediately came before the White Clothed Child with a solemn look:

“Patriarch, where are the other three Patriarchs? And the World Eater? Could it be…”

The White Clothed Child promptly shook his head:

“It’s not what you think. They went down just now. Right after we killed that World Eater, another one popped out and dragged it down. Greedy Kung, Nine-hole, and Dustless were worried, so they went down to check.”

Daoist Yuanci, upon hearing that the three Patriarchs were safe, immediately felt relieved.

But then his expression tensed up again:

“Another World Eater?”

He quickly asked:

“How does it compare to the previous one?”

The White Clothed Child shook his head with an ugly look:

“Not sure–we only saw it for a moment. I wanted to go down and take a look, but…”

He couldn’t help but look down at his true form.

Only then did Daoist Yuanci notice that one side of the Yuyang Drum was completely broken.

His expression turned more serious: “Patriarch…”

The White Clothed Child waved his hand:

“No matter, it’s already like this.”

Then, with a somewhat worried gaze, he looked towards the roiling deep sea below.

“I wonder what the situation is like down there.”

Daoist Yuanci sensed the concern in the White Clothed Child’s eyes.

After a moment of contemplation, he immediately spoke without hesitation:

“Patriarch, wait here for a moment. I’ll go take a look.”

The White Clothed Child was startled and quickly said:

“No, the situation with that World Eater is unknown, and right now you’re just at the Nascent Soul stage. If it affects you, I’m afraid…”

As he spoke, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Then he looked at Daoist Yuanci in surprise.

He had been preoccupied with worry about Greedy Kung and the others, so he hadn’t noticed the change in Daoist Yuanci.

But now that he was focusing on Daoist Yuanci, he finally sensed something unusual and showed a shocked expression:

“You… could it be…”

Daoist Yuanci nodded:

“I haven’t crossed Tribulation yet, but I’ve had a bit of an epiphany.”

After speaking, without the slightest hesitation,

a hazy grey Dao Domain appeared and disappeared around him in a flash.

He then quickly descended toward the sea below.

Seeing that hazy grey Dao Domain around Daoist Yuanci,

The White Clothed Child could no longer hide his amazement:

“This kid has actually condensed a Dao Domain!”

“He hasn’t entered Immortal Ascension yet, but he has already refined a Dao Domain. What incredible depth of foundation is this?”

Naturally, he was unaware that Li Yuehua had taken the Yang Fruit some time ago, carrying Daoist Yuanci’s Soul on a tour of the extramundane sights,

The gains from that experience were unimaginable.

But he could see that Daoist Yuanci, compared to not long ago, had changed completely.

Perhaps there was no significant change in his Mana stage, but the establishment of a Dao Domain vastly increased the might he could wield.

Leaving aside the shock in the White Clothed Child’s heart.

Daoist Yuanci plunged into the sea.

The rich Yuanci energy filling the sea water rapidly streamed into his body, like martins returning to the forest.

Refined by the Nascent Soul swiftly into Mana.

The water below was dark and turbulent, and the murky splashes obscured his vision.

The overly rich Yuanci energy also greatly affected his Spiritual Sense within it.

However, he had patrolled this sea area before and was no stranger to it; sensing some Spiritual Light stirring below, he instantly swam down quickly.

The Yuanci energy around, carrying the sea water along with it, parted away like subjects before their king, rapidly moving to both sides.
