Yang Yuanhong then flew into the one-horned giant whale's mouth. When those massive jaws closed, the space that should have plunged into darkness lit up in brilliant radiance.
The space inside the giant whale was unimaginably vast as well.
In many places, the appearance of flesh and bone had vanished entirely, replaced by something like mountains, rocks, and soil. Forests, flowers, and grasses grew there, while many small spirit beasts flitted through the landscape.
"Come with me, young friend."
The old giant whale's phantom appeared again and led Yang Yuanhong downward, eventually arriving at a dry field beneath a cloudless sky.
This dry field covered an enormous area. Without focusing true essence into one's eyes, one could not see its end at a glance.
Within the fields, Yang Yuanhong saw Ling Shuang, who had previously saved them, along with another figure dressed like an old farmer. They were both swinging hoes and turning over the soil.
Having brought him here, the old giant whale's phantom dispersed. The old farmer in the field raised his eyes to look at Yang Yuanhong, and a smile appeared on his thin, withered face.
Yang Yuanhong immediately descended and respectfully bowed to the old farmer.
To be able to farm within this giant whale's belly, and even have the ruthless figure ranked second on the Gold Ranking tilling the earth—this person's identity was already plain as day.
"This junior, Yang Yuanhong, pays respects to Venerable Daohé."
On the way here, the old giant whale had already briefly introduced the origins of this venerable to him.
According to the giant whale, this venerable had been born a farmer and had sensed heaven and earth while laboring in the fields, thus entering the Dao Path.
Some said he had discovered a treasure opportunity in his own fields.
