Longevity, starting from raising chickens

"To overcome the tribulation... the position of the sect leader?"

Hearing Qu Shentong's words, Wang Ba was slightly surprised.

He then felt it and indeed detected a hint of perfection emanating from Qu Shentong, and that he might take that crucial step at any time.

While I was happy for him, my heart suddenly sank.

He is currently busy with the affairs of the Taoist spirit beasts and the Taoist temple. If he is distracted by the mundane affairs of the sect, he will have no time to take care of both.

He did not ask Qu Shentong whether he could hold on for a while longer. He knew Qu Shentong very well. He would not say such a thing unless he was about to lose control.

His mind raced, and he immediately said:
"Elder Xumi, you can be the sect leader."

Qu Shentong frowned and directly rejected Wang Ba's proposal:

“Let’s not talk about whether Elder Xumi is competent because he is not familiar with worldly affairs. Just to mention that he is now a spirit-transforming cultivator, it is not as convenient for him to act as a Yuanying cultivator when encountering problems… The position of the sect leader can only be held by a Yuanying cultivator at the moment.”

Wang Ba's face slightly sank when he heard this, but he also knew that what the other party said made sense.

Qu Shentong then looked at Wang Ba, hesitated for a while, and finally said:

"There is one more thing I haven't told you yet."

Wang Ba was puzzled, but then he said in a deep voice:
"Sect Master, please speak."

Qu Shentong nodded, and then told Wang Ba something he didn't know:
"After becoming the sect master, I learned some secrets in the sect that only the sect master could know, and even Elder Jiying and Elder Xumi did not know these secrets."

"Even Elder Jiying and Elder Xumi don't know? What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

Qu Shentong shook his head and said:

"I cannot tell you what it is specifically. According to the custom of past clan leaders, I swore an oath when I succeeded to the position of clan leader in the ancestral temple. These secrets can only be known after you become the clan leader."

"I can only give you a rough reminder now."

"A secret that only the master can know..."

Wang Ba frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.

But then he suddenly came to his senses, looked at Qu Shentong, and a helpless look appeared on his face:
"Is the Sect Master trying to use this to make me the successor of the Sect Master?"

Qu Shentong laughed out loud:
"I really can't hide it from you!"

But then he said solemnly:

"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but the construction of the dojo is a long way off, and it won't be accomplished overnight. Even if you succeed me as the sect master, I don't think it will have much of an impact. I'm about to pass the tribulation, and I'm always worried about the many affairs of the sect. If you weren't the sect master, I wouldn't be able to rest in peace even if I passed the tribulation."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba fell silent and pondered for a moment.

Qu Shentong did not urge him, but just looked at Wang Ba quietly.

He knew that with Wang Ba's personality, he would definitely be able to figure this out.

But Wang Ba's next words made him feel shocked:
"Master, I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility, but what if I say that the construction of the dojo has already been planned?"

"W-what did you say?"

Qu Shentong subconsciously took a step forward, staring straight at Wang Ba, with a hint of shock in his eyes:
"Is the construction of the dojo already in sight?"

Wang Ba nodded and did not hide anything:
"Not long ago, the two Dao spirit beasts I raised... oh, the source of the Dao domain needed for the Dao field, have successfully mated."

"What do you mean?"

Qu Shentong frowned in confusion.

Wang Ba said in a deep voice:
"That is, if they can successfully give birth to offspring this time, and if the offspring can reproduce... we can start preparing for the construction of the dojo."

"A large amount of feed for feeding spirit beasts, enough spiritual energy, enough secret realms, and breeding places..."

Qu Shentong did not ask anything else, but only asked one question:
"How sure are you?!"

"It just depends on whether the offspring born from these two spirit beasts meet the standards. As long as it works..."

Wang Ba did not say anything that would definitely succeed. Nothing is inevitable in this world, but it also depends on human efforts.

But Wang Ba's statement still made Qu Shentong feel reassured.

He knew Wang Ba's character very well, and would never say it out loud unless he was absolutely sure.

At the moment, I couldn't help but excitedly said:

"Good! Good!"

"The affairs of the dojo are naturally more important than my transcendence of tribulation and transformation into a god!"

He clapped his hands fiercely, his eyes showing a hint of determination, and looked at Wang Ba:

"In this case, I will hold on for a while longer. When I can no longer hold on, I will pass the throne to someone else in the sect. Don't worry, whether it's me or the successor, we will fully cooperate with you!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba nodded and bowed, "Thank you, Sect Master, for your understanding."

However, Qu Shentong stopped him directly and said vigorously:
"Hurry up and get busy. If you need anything, the Three Palaces will fully assist you! All arrangements within the sect will be made with you in mind first!"

Wang Ba immediately bowed to Qu Shentong again.

But after hesitating for a moment, he stood still and said to Qu Shentong:

"Opening up a Taoist temple is an act that defies heaven. If nothing unexpected happens, a corresponding calamity will surely befall when it is opened..."

"Dao Jie?"

Qu Shentong pondered and asked, "What level of disaster will it be?"

Wang Ba recalled the detailed information Jiang Yi had given him about the opening of the dojo, estimated it, and then said conservatively:
“Even if we can successfully open it up, it will only be the most elementary dojo that can only accommodate those in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. And given the current situation in the Xiaocang Realm, the difficulty of the Dao Tribulation should not be too strong. According to my estimation, it should be between the fifth and sixth levels, but it can only be said to be an approximation…”

"Level 5 and Level 6?"

Qu Shentong thought about it, then shook his head and said:

"I'll do my best to arrange this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba looked at Qu Shentong with some surprise.

He knew the situation in the sect. Apart from a few ancestors who could only occasionally command by relying on personal connections, not counting the fifth-rank divine beasts, there were only a few cultivators in the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm, such as Ji Ying, Xumi, Pang Xiu, and Qi Yan, left in the sect.

Among them, Qi Yan had just passed the tribulation and has not woken up yet.

If one wants to deal with the Dao calamity, relying solely on the few gods in the sect is probably far from enough.

However, seeing that Qu Shentong agreed so nonchalantly, he thought there must be another hidden trick, so he did not ask any more questions.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be related to the secret that only the so-called sect leader can know.

Although he was somewhat curious, he really had no idea about the position of sect leader at the moment.

In the past, he guarded the gate of Chunyang Palace for Shaoyangzi. He knew very well that although being the sect leader did not seem to require any personal effort, it actually required a lot of energy.

All major events require the clan leader's participation in decision-making and coordination. It is basically impossible to be a hands-off boss.

However, he had to concentrate on the cultivation of Taoist spirit beasts and the construction of the Taoist temple, and he also had to comprehend the many Taoist meanings and Taoist opportunities. He simply did not have the mind and energy to be distracted.

On the other hand, the greatest attraction of the sect master to ordinary cultivators lies in the help he provides in their practice.

But now he is basically no different from the sect master in the sect. He can use all kinds of resources at will. It is nothing more than a title, and he does not care too much about it.

I chatted with Qu Shentong for a while, mainly about the Zhenwu Dao in Huangji Continent and the situation in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods.

"I have contacted Palace Master Guan before, but there has been no response. I am afraid..."

A rare look of worry appeared on Qu Shentong's face.

Because he possesses an incomplete Dao domain, Guan Ao's strength is second only to Wang Ba in the sect.

Wang Ba is unwilling to take the position of clan leader, so Guan Ao is the most suitable candidate.

However, Guan Ao's loss of contact made things complicated.

Wang Ba had no better solution for this, so Guan Ao took the initiative to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool, wanting to pave a way for the many Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect to reach the God Transformation Pool.

But the Dragon Transformation Pool is most likely the place where Ye Cangsheng, the ancestor of Huangji Continent, lives. Even the Master Hualong is most likely Ye Cangsheng himself. Even though Wang Ba possesses the magical power of the Small Zhoutian Escape, he dare not rush in rashly.

"Palace Master Guan, we can only take it one step at a time."

Wang Ba said helplessly, which was rare.

The only thing that is certain is that Guan Ao is still alive, which is the greatest blessing.

Qu Shentong could only nod helplessly.

Wang Ba then bid farewell to Qu Shentong and returned to the secret realm of the beads on Wanfa Peak.

While reading the many classic books that the Ye family had collected for tens of thousands of years and that were donated by Chi Jian.

At the same time, he kept a close eye on the changes in the many spiritual beasts, especially Xiang Sijiu, Jia Shiwu, the big white goose and a number of other divine beasts.

In the process of reading these books of the Ye family, he also gained more than ten divine patterns.

He did see some methods of refining Taoist soldiers. Although the corresponding spirit beasts had been lost and extinct, based on these methods, combined with the collection in the sect and his many feelings when refining the Xuanlong Taoist soldiers, he gradually had a clearer understanding of the Taoist soldier methods.

Therefore, he began to occasionally try to deduce the corresponding Taoist military techniques from some lower-grade spiritual beasts.

This process is not easy.

Because the Taoist military method seems to involve the way of taming beasts, but in fact it is closer to the way of formation. It emphasizes how to make the best use of all the formation bases to unleash abilities that far exceed the current level.

The spiritual beast is the base of the formation.

As for Wang Ba's knowledge of formations, he was limited to using ready-made formation plates and flags for arrangement, and his understanding of some commonly used ones such as the spirit gathering formation.

Fortunately, the art of formation is essentially the application of the ritual of divine runes. Ever since Wang Ba comprehended the way of divine runes, he has accumulated many years of experience, and now his divine runes are gradually approaching the small success threshold of three hundred and sixty-five.

It's not too difficult to learn.

Unfortunately, the way of divine runes is very special. It is different from most essences. Not only is it innate, but it is also acquired. The existence of the way of divine runes is not mentioned in the Zhoutian star map.

However, even so, one law can lead to understanding all laws. Based on the solid foundation of Wang Ba's own practice over many years, and by analogy, his progress in the research of Taoist soldiers can be said to be rapid.

So he sometimes studied Taoist soldiers, sometimes studied spiritual beasts, sometimes devoted himself to reading many classics, and sometimes focused on practicing and understanding the Tao.

It’s a pity that his Yin Shen power accumulated slowly, and it was almost used up before. He really didn’t have any more Yin Shen power to comprehend the Zhoutian Star Map.

Rao is so.

The combination of the four is extremely fulfilling and time passes by unnoticed.

Until this day, he suddenly felt a slight movement coming from his Lingtai Temple.

"Hmm? The Mother Goddess called me?"

Wang Ba was a little confused, then he counted with his fingers and suddenly understood.

My eyes flickered:

"I see... I can use it for a while."

The next moment, his mind moved, and his consciousness immediately sank into the Yin God statue...

……

Huangji Continent, on the edge of the South China Sea.

Magnificent temples stand among the waves along the coast, arranged in sequence from high to low and from inside to outside.

Inside the Yin Temple.

The statue of the Yin God shook slightly, and a hint of life suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Wang Ba glanced at the Sha Hui below, whose aura had begun to decline, then calmly took a step forward and disappeared into the Yin Temple.

Looking around, he saw many monks of the Incense Dao working together to build a Dharma Boat...

Some guesses suddenly came to my mind.

However, he did not stop. He took a slight step and flew into the Temple of the Mother Goddess.

"Here he comes."

Inside the Temple of the Mother Goddess, there was still the huge placenta, and the Mother Goddess's calm and almost indifferent voice came from the placenta.

The human part gradually disappears, and is replaced by the 'divinity'.

Feeling the changes in the Mother Goddess, Wang Ba felt a little depressed.

"This Mother Goddess is getting closer and closer to the level of the Divine Emperor..."

But on the surface, he still bowed respectfully towards the placenta.

"Mother Goddess called me back, what instructions do you have?"

Inside the placenta, the Mother Goddess' voice lacked previous emotions, and was concise and capable:
"Yang Que died, Zhenwu attacked suddenly, and Huangji Continent was in chaos. This is our opportunity... I want to counterattack Huangji Continent and make it the foundation of my Ten Thousand Gods Kingdom."

Wang Ba listened quietly and did not ask any questions immediately.

Sure enough, the Mother Goddess quickly told him the purpose of calling him back:

"Right now, Huangjizhou is in chaos. It is not difficult to rob people by trickery and robbery. However, I am afraid of the hidden Void Refining Monks in Wanxiang Sect and Yuanshi Demon Sect in Fenglinzhou. Since you are in Wanxiang Sect, you should know them. That is why I called you here. Do you have any way to deal with them?"

What the Mother Goddess said did not exceed Wang Ba's previous calculations.

However, a hint of surprise and astonishment still appeared on Wang Ba's face at the right time.

"Mother Goddess, are you going to conquer Huangji Continent?"

He then frowned and said:

"The two sects' Void Refining Cultivators... As far as I know, the Void Refining Cultivators of these two sects rarely leave Fenglinzhou."

Inside the placenta, the Mother Goddess' voice was emotionless, and she said slowly:
"Just because they rarely leave doesn't mean they never leave. I don't want them to affect my conquest of the Imperial Continent. Can the Yin God solve this problem?"

Wang Ba showed a rare look of embarrassment and hesitation.

The Mother Goddess seemed to have noticed something and suddenly said:
"If you need anything, just let me know."

After hearing the words of the Mother Goddess, Wang Ba showed a decisive look at the right time. He said directly:

"I can think of a way to prevent the Wanxiang Sect and Han Yanzi from escaping... But I still need some things."

"What is it? Just tell me!"

Hearing that the 'Yin God' was really confident that he could solve this problem that was giving him a headache, even the Mother Goddess, who had already lost much emotion at this moment, had a ripple in her tone.

Wang Ba said casually:

"I need a large amount of spiritual veins, spiritual stones, spiritual plants, and spiritual beasts..."

Listening to the words of the Yin God, the Mother Goddess's puzzled voice suddenly came from the placenta:
"These are all things that the monks need... What does the Yin God want these for?"

Wang Ba’s answer was impeccable:
"This is exactly what the monks need. It can move people's hearts. I will use it to incite the Wanxiang Sect and the Original Demon Sect to fight each other, so as to buy time for the Mother Goddess."

After a moment of silence in the placenta, the Mother Goddess's joyful voice finally rang out:

"I knew that the Yin God must have a trick up his sleeve, and it really lived up to my expectations!"

"These things are exactly what we don't need. I will immediately arrange for someone to send everything you need to Fenglinzhou, and you can use them secretly."

Wang Ba bowed slightly and made a respectful gesture:
"Mother Goddess is wise."

"I will go back and prepare."

Having said that, he was about to leave.

But at this moment, the Mother Goddess suddenly spoke and kept Wang Ba.

"Please wait a moment."

call out!
An umbilical cord then flew out and penetrated into the body of the 'Yin God'.

This is already an old project, so although Wang Ba seemed surprised on the surface, he had already gotten used to it in his heart.

"Just now I thought the Mother Goddess had become stingy, but now it seems that she is still as generous as ever!"

Feeling the power of incense flowing into the umbilical cord, Wang Ba couldn't help but say in his heart.

At this time, I heard the Mother Goddess say:
"Nowadays, there are fewer believers, and the power of incense is not as strong as before, but I cannot let you down, so I will take the incense I use and give it to you for cultivation or to deal with the Lianxu investigation... Thank you for your hard work, Yin Shen."

Hearing the words of the Mother Goddess, Wang Ba couldn't help but be moved.

He immediately said solemnly:
"Since the Mother Goddess values ​​me, the Yin God will devote himself to the cause until his death!"

Wang Ba's words were so powerful that the Mother Goddess seemed to be able to feel his sincere loyalty. The power of incense flowing from the umbilical cord suddenly became stronger.

However, compared to the third-class god position, it only takes a while for the Mother Goddess to be filled up.

This time, it took a full day before the umbilical cord finally stopped transmitting the incense.

Even though the transmission lasted for a day, Wang Ba could still feel that only more than 60% of the Yin God's power was replenished in his Yin God Temple.

But compared to the third-class god position, the power of the Yin God that is actually converted is several times more.

The Mother Goddess's voice also came at this time, with a little bit of heartache:
"This is all the incense I have left. You can use it first. When the believers behind offer incense, you can come back."

Listening to the words of the Mother Goddess, even Wang Ba couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this moment, and nodded:
"Okay, I'll come again next time."

Placenta was silent for a while after hearing this, as if she didn't expect him to actually nod in agreement.

Wang Ba didn't care. After agreeing on the time and place for handing over the various supplies, he returned to the Yin Temple on his own.

Consciousness returns quickly.

He then called over his disciples and instructed them to take charge of the handover location.

He followed behind personally to prevent the evil gods of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods from secretly using these resources to do anything with them.

Fortunately, perhaps due to safety considerations for the 'Yin Shen' who was the insider, no problems were found in the things sent by the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods.

On the contrary, the number far exceeded Wang Ba's original expectations.

"In this way, most of the basic conditions required for the subsequent large-scale reproduction of Daoyi spirit beasts have been met."

Returning to the Wanfa Peak, Wang Ba looked at the big white goose and Jiashiwu in Lingji Mountain with deep thought. The Chaos Essence seemed to be still changing their bodies bit by bit:
"Next, we have to look at them."

What Wang Ba didn't expect was that the changes made to Jia Shiwu and the White Goose would last for decades.

Many of these matings did not produce offspring.

Even when Jia Shiwu mated with most of the spiritual birds on Lingji Mountain, he was unable to fertilize each other's eggs.

This caused Jia Shiwu's spiritual faith to collapse for a time.

The inability to give birth to offspring means that its "many children, more blessings system" is no longer effective.

Although its lifespan has accumulated to thousands of years, this is still a fatal blow to it.

Until one day, the aura of Jiashiwu and the big white goose finally stopped changing.

After Jiashiwu and the big white goose mated, a huge spiritual egg was finally laid.

Feeling the faint breath of life inside the spiritual egg, Wang Ba could not hide the joy in his heart.

Good things happened one after another. Xiang Sijiu finally gave birth to her first child after being pregnant for fifty years.

However, it was different from what Wang Ba had expected. The offspring of the Moro giant elephant born by Xiang Sijiu, a fifth-level divine beast, was still a top-grade fourth-level one.

Its appearance is no different from that of the previous Moro elephant.

Its body surface is grey and black, unlike Sijiu which is covered with golden lines.

"Fourth-level top grade... In this case, we can still use the previous 'Moro Giant Elephant Taoist Soldier' ​​method."

Wang Hao pondered slightly.

He then injected life force into the Moro elephant cub, but unfortunately, perhaps because it was still far from the fifth level, the Moro elephant cub failed to break through.

Wang Ba was not too disappointed.

However, the gestation period of the Moro elephant is too long, so if you want to obtain enough giant elephants, you need to ripen them.

After ripening the fruits, Wang Ba suddenly felt something and calculated with his fingers.

Slightly realized:

“It’s been so long.”

He then called in Wang Qingyang, who had become the deputy hall master in the Tianyuan Hall.

"Go to Hailing Country and bring your junior brother back."

"Junior brother?"

Wang Qingyang looked at Wang Yian, who was looking around curiously, with a little confusion.

Master, when will you accept new disciples?

Although she was confused, she quickly took the sect's teleportation array and came to the place her master had told her to go.

Following the master's instructions, I found this junior fellow apprentice without much effort.

But when Wang Qingyang saw this person, he was still surprised even though he was prepared. (End of this chapter)
