Chapter 1458: Chapter 61 Reunion_2

It was only a matter of breaths.

Daoist Yuanci had already seen three figures standing separately on an incense burner, a duster, and a broken Greedy Kung.

“It’s the three Patriarchs.”

Daoist Yuanci had no joy in his heart; on the contrary, his expression became slightly condensed.

At this moment, the three Patriarchs also sensed something and turned their heads to look. Upon seeing Daoist Yuanci, they couldn’t help but show surprise, especially upon feeling the aura on Daoist Yuanci’s body, which had completely transformed compared to before, they all revealed a look of astonishment.

However, they had no time to ask further questions at this moment, their expressions somber as they quickly turned their heads to look below.

Seeing this, Daoist Yuanci flew over quickly and landed beside the Nine-hole Patriarch, urgently whispering:

“Patriarch, what’s the situation below? Where is the World Eater?”

The Nine-hole Patriarch shook his head slightly:

“Gone.”

He pointed towards the deeper sea bottom.

There, one could faintly see the dots of stars beyond the realm.

That was where the Truth Membrane Eye of Yuanci was located.

No, rather than calling it the Truth Membrane Eye, it was more like a scar of the Little Cang World.

“We had just arrived here and only managed to see that Water Buffalo being dragged away in an instant, the speed was so fast that we couldn’t see clearly what happened.”

Upon hearing this, Daoist Yuanci felt relieved.

He quickly said:

“Since these Eaters have already left, this is a good opportunity for us to mend the Membrane Eye here.”

But just then, the palace-dressed woman suddenly spoke out in confusion:

“What is that?”

The Nine-hole Patriarch, Daoist Yuanci, and Dustless Patriarch all couldn’t help but look in the direction pointed by the Greedy Kung Patriarch.

They saw at the edge of the Yuanci Membrane Eye below, the turbulent sea water and the rising force of Yuanci blowing a bundle of white, unnamed material, stretching it out.

This white material was somewhat transparent, and one could faintly see the dense and uneven patterns on it.

Spread out, it was both long and wide.

The Dustless Patriarch suddenly spoke, puzzled:

“This object, it feels like it’s shed from something?”

The palace-dressed woman thought for a moment.

The surrounding sea water quickly pushed this bundle of white material towards the four of them.

Soon, this unknown white molting fell in front of them.

The Nine-hole Patriarch scrutinized it for a moment and nodded:

“Indeed.”

“Appearing here, it might be from the molting of some World Eater.”

Daoist Yuanci also curiously scanned it with his Spiritual Sense.

He discovered that the material was somewhat like the shed skin of a snake.

Only, it seemed to have been washed by the Yuanci and Chaos Origin Substance from outside the realm for quite some time, and its aura was difficult to discern.

He carefully extended one finger, encompassed by the force of Yuanci, and lightly touched the molting.

However, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

Disbelievingly, he increased a few degrees of Yuanci Mana.

To his shock, the skin that seemed to be shed like a snake, was unmarred.

“So tough!”

Using three or four tenths of his strength, he was still unable to affect the skin in the slightest.

What surprised him more was that the Yuanci force, when it permeated into this seemingly ordinary molting, not only didn’t damage the epidermis but was quickly absorbed by it.

It even seemed to become tougher!

“This…”

Daoist Yuanci felt a shake in his heart.

“What kind of being shed this skin that it’s so exceptional?”

Not exaggerating, just this layer alone was comparable to an upper grade Class IV defensive treasure.

If refined and nurtured properly, it could even go a stage further!

He then carefully scanned the delicate part of the white molting with his Spiritual Sense, attempting to infer the true form of its body from these traces.

“The World Eater should be a large serpent,” said the palace-dressed woman confidently.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the Nine-hole Patriarch softly said:

“Not necessarily, I observe that there are several raised parts on this skin, which should indicate claws…”

The grey-clothed old Taoist smiled but did not voice his own thoughts.

Yet only in Daoist Yuanci’s heart did a flicker of familiarity pass by.

Looking at the layer of white skin in front of him, he found the patterns increasingly familiar:

“Why do these patterns so closely resemble the Stone Lizards bred by the original body?”

“But such a large Stone Lizard is rare to see, and it seems to have a particular preference for Yuanci…”

“Wait a moment…”

A thought suddenly flashed through Daoist Yuanci’s mind.

But it was soon dismissed by himself.

“Impossible, it has long been… and looking at the molting, the size and appearance do not seem to match up.”

These thoughts raced through Daoist Yuanci’s mind.

Yet he was not distracted by these thoughts.

His mind moved swiftly, and he quickly said in a deep voice:

“Please, three Patriarchs, continue to guard here to prevent any World Eaters from intruding again. I’m going to gather others to seal this Yuanci Membrane Eye.”

Hearing Daoist Yuanci’s words, the three Patriarchs also returned to their senses.

The Nine-hole Patriarch immediately nodded:

“That is right!”

The grey-clothed old Taoist also agreed:

“Little Friend Wang is right, let’s not worry about these things first, we should secure this place first.”

“How long will it take to mend this Membrane Eye?” asked the palace-dressed woman.

Daoist Yuanci replied without hesitation:

“If the east, west, south, and north lines progress together, it should take at most two hours.”

“That fast?”

The three Patriarchs were somewhat surprised.

For them, with their lengthy lifespans, two hours was almost like the time taken for one breath.
