Longevity, starting from raising chickens

West Sea Kingdom.

The bottom of the Yae Sea.

Taoist Yuanci sat cross-legged with his eyes closed quietly in the water waves, motionless.

The inky black robe reflects a dreamy color in the sea water like fish scales.

Beside him, a ghost-eyed dragon was squinting lazily.

The fish and sea beasts swimming around all instinctively moved away from this place, forming a spherical blank area.

At this moment, Yuanci Taoist suddenly felt something and opened his eyes.

The next moment, in the void in front of him, a shadow of divine pattern flashed, and then two figures condensed silently.

The leader looks ordinary, but he is majestic without being angry and has a noble air.

The man behind him was dressed as a shirtless monk.

It was Wang Ba and the monk from Xitaozhou who were giving precepts.

Seeing these two people, Yuanci Taoist smiled, but did not stand up, but bowed slightly:
"Hello fellow Taoist, hello master."

The Ghost-Eyed Chilong noticed the movement, opened his eyes and looked at the two of them, but then lazily closed his eyes again.

Wang Ba scanned the void around Yuanci Taoist, his face slightly tense, and whispered:

"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist."

However, Zhao Jie looked at Yuanci Taoist's face in astonishment, and then he couldn't help turning his head to look at Wang Ba. The two faces were almost identical, which made him feel a little surprised:
"This... could it be..."

Yuanci Taoist looked at Zhaojie and smiled slightly:
"Master, your guess is correct. I am also an incarnation."

Hearing this, even though Zhaojie had already seen through it at a glance, he still couldn't help but be shocked.

The Ice Taoist before was already in the middle stage of the fifth level, but the one hiding under the sea now seems even more mysterious than the Ice Taoist.

Feeling the obscure and mysterious aura of Yuanci Taoist that even he couldn't see through, he couldn't help but ask:
"You, you are already at level five?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanci Taoist smiled calmly:

"Trapped here, and yet to transcend the calamity."

"Haven't passed the tribulation yet? How can I..."

Zhaojie was surprised, but he quickly reacted and stopped talking.

It is taboo to spy on other people's practice at will.

Taoist Yuanci smiled calmly and did not explain.

Wang Ba took advantage of the time when the two were talking to look around, then looked at Zhao Jie and said politely:

"The bottom of the West Sea is different from the North Sea. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the Yaekai Sea on the sea is even more spectacular. Master, you may as well enjoy it."

Although Zhaojie was a monk, he was not a dull person. He immediately said, "I have heard of the name of Yajenhai for a long time. It is a good opportunity for me to go and take a look."

After saying that, he quickly flew out of the deep sea.

Seeing Zhaojie leave, Wang Ba no longer concealed his feelings and looked at Yuanci Taoist with a serious expression:
"I haven't been here all these years, but I didn't expect that you have fallen deeper and deeper into trouble now."

Upon hearing this, Yuanci Taoist glanced at the void around him. In the void, he could faintly see arrays of flags arranged around him. He shook his head and said:

"If I use my body to fill the eye of the real membrane, the Dao Realm will quickly assimilate with the surrounding boundary membranes. If it weren't for these formation flags that barely slowed down the assimilation speed, my consciousness would have already sunk."

"You shouldn't have used your own to fill your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn't help but utter a rare complaint.

Yuancidao was very calm:
"If I hadn't tried to fill it with my body, so that the Dao Realm could be connected with the boundary membrane, thereby obtaining great nourishment from the boundary membrane and the chaotic source essence outside the boundary, how could I have raised the Dao Realm to the current state close to the first level of perfection in just a few hundred years?"

"To be one with the heaven and earth, what a rare opportunity!"

"It's a pity that this formation flag protects me, but also restricts me. If there were no formation flag blocking me, I am afraid that although I have not passed the tribulation, I have already entered the second stage of the Dao realm."

Wang Ba frowned, not showing much joy, and said in a deep voice:

“If there were no formation flags blocking it, I’m afraid your Dao domain would have been assimilated by the boundary membrane long ago, and there would be no more Yuanci Daoists in the world… Now you are trapped here and can’t get out. Even if you can really be on par with Lianxu, what can you do?”

Upon hearing this, Yuanci Taoist could not help but remain silent and sighed:
"Yes, this is both an opportunity and a trap. According to the current speed of the boundary membrane assimilation, it will take at most another two or three hundred years. When my Dao Realm successfully breaks into the second level, it will also be completely integrated with this world."

"Two or three hundred years... that was also after the great catastrophe."

"It's just that I don't have the extra energy to deal with this right now."

After Wang Ba blamed him, he came to his senses, pondered for a moment, and finally said helplessly:

"If it really doesn't work, we can only give up the Dao Realm and see if we can extract the spirit soul and start a new one."

"But all the previous accumulation will be wasted."

Once the Dao domain is stripped away, it means that the corresponding understanding is completely lost.

Everything has to start all over again.

But it's better than losing this incarnation completely.

However, Wang Ba had originally hoped to be able to integrate the incarnation of Yuanci Taoist into himself first in order to deal with the upcoming disaster. However, he could not hide his disappointment with this result.

The two of them were in tune with each other, and Yuanci Taoist naturally understood what Wang Ba was thinking, but he really couldn't get away at the moment.

As he was thinking, Wang Ba suddenly frowned and looked towards the southeast:

"Hmm? What does the Pantheon want me for at this time?"

His eyes swept over Yuanci Taoist, who nodded slightly. He also felt relieved, and then his mind moved, and his consciousness quickly left.

……

In the grand temple, the deep red statue of the Yin God suddenly opened its eyes.

He lowered his head slightly and looked down, but he could no longer see any monks.

A hundred years ago, the great elder of Yinshen Temple, Sha Hui, had passed away.

As the Yin God, he did not appoint any new elders.

Without any new incense-burning Taoist monks to join in, the Yinshen Temple is becoming increasingly empty, without any human presence at all.

But for Him, it is more comfortable.

However, He did not stay. He sensed the call from the Mother Goddess outside the temple. After thinking for a moment, He restrained his breath, quickly turned reality into illusion, and left the temple.

At this moment, his eyes swept around and even further away...

"The spiritual energy of Jingyuan Continent is indeed much richer than that of other continents."

Wang Ba was a little surprised.

Although Jingyuan Continent is not large, it is extremely rich in spiritual energy and is the ancestral vein of the Nine Continents.

However, he had never been to Jingyuan Island. Now, after seeing it for a while, he found that it was indeed worthy of its reputation.

Although the spiritual energy there is not as rich as that in Wanxiang Sect, it is still about 10% to 20%. However, Wanxiang Sect is just a sect, while Jingyuan Continent is a huge continent.

This comparison also shows the favorable environment of Jingyuanzhou.

What also made Wang Ba feel nervous was that in the area that his spiritual sense swept through, there was no normal cultivator from Jingyuanzhou, and even ordinary people were very few.

The surrounding area was filled with Taoist monks who were constantly patrolling with solemn and depressed expressions.

There were also many cultivators who built various fortifications, carved talismans, and refined magical instruments just like ordinary soldiers. However, no matter whether it was talismans, magical instruments, or elixirs, they all had the characteristics of each evil god.

Outside the place occupied by the monks of the Incense Dao, there was a huge canyon that was like a scar, dividing the land that Wang Ba saw into two parts.

On the opposite side was the Zhenwu army, guarding the dangerous pass and watching covetously.

On the steep cliffs stood many real warriors wearing uniform and sophisticated armor, with fierce eyes.

Although there seems to be no fighting at the moment, these true warriors are full of wildness and desire for a fight.

Beside him, there were god-destroying crossbows ready to fire, and the arrows engraved with runes were shining coldly, as if they could break through the air at any time.

On the contrary, on this side of the Grand Canyon, the monks of the Incense Dao all looked nervous and on high alert.

"No wonder they were able to defeat the Kingdom of the Ten Thousand Gods and force them to retreat here."

Wang Ba couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he knew nothing about marching and fighting, he could clearly feel the stark difference in morale and temperament between the two sides.

The True Warriors are like steel knives that have been tempered through thousands of hammerings, while the Incense Taoist monks are more like quick-grown broiler chickens. Although they are fat, once they encounter a ferocious opponent like the True Warriors, they will most likely be defeated.

If it weren't for the support of the evil gods in the rear, perhaps the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods would have been destroyed long ago.

Thinking this in his mind, he quickly withdrew his gaze, and at the same time, the entire statue directly crashed into the Temple of the Mother Goddess in front.

It was still a huge and empty temple, and inside the temple an equally huge placenta was rising and falling slightly.

The only difference from what he had seen before was that at this moment, in the temple, apart from the Mother Goddess, other evil gods such as the God of Longevity and the God of War were all there.

At this moment, with the arrival of the 'Yin God', they all turned their heads and looked down at him, their eyes were indifferent and without any emotion.

Filled with a strong sense of oppression.

Feeling the aura of these evil gods in front of him, Wang Ba's heart became slightly solemn.

"Four Divine Emperors..."

His eyes swept around without leaving a trace.

At this time, the voice of the Mother Goddess slowly sounded.

"Yin Shen, you are finally here."

Wang Ba walked forward slowly and bowed slightly:
"Yin God, I have met the Mother Goddess, and I have met several of them."

The God of Longevity, the God of War, and another evil god who looked somewhat unfamiliar just looked on expressionlessly at Wang Ba's salute.

After being promoted to God Emperor, the last bit of humanity in them completely disappeared. They were free of emotions and waves, and became true gods.

Absolutely rational, and absolutely ruthless.

Only the Mother Goddess seemed to have retained something other than "divinity" and whispered: "This time I called you back because we heard that Lianxu of the Wanxiang Sect finally showed up and defeated Han Yanzi."

Wang Ba was already used to the Mother Goddess getting straight to the point, but he didn't know what her purpose was, so he just replied softly:

"I was just about to report to the Mother Goddess that this person is called Hui Yunzi, and he is in charge of the Wanxiang Sect. He is now in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, and his strength is similar to that of the former ancestor of the Huangji Continent, Ye Cangsheng."

From the placenta, the Mother Goddess's slightly dull voice came:
"So you are also in the middle stage of Refining Void. No wonder... We called you back this time because we wanted to use you to convince the Refining Void Master of the Wanxiang Sect that we are willing to unite with him and defeat Zhenwu together."

"Unite with the Wanxiang Sect?"

Wang Ba was stunned. He didn't expect that these evil gods actually had this idea in mind.

The Mother Goddess said calmly:
"We have retained a glimmer of hope by using the monks. Once these Zhenwu become powerful and destroy our Ten Thousand Gods Nation, there will be no place for monks in Xiaocang Realm."

"If the master of Wanxiang Sect is not stupid, he will definitely understand the truth."

Wang Ba's thoughts raced through his mind, but he did not respond immediately.

On the one hand, I didn't expect that these evil gods seemed to be much smarter and knew how to drive away tigers and devour wolves. They seemed to have reproduced the style of the past when they were able to maneuver all the way in Fenglinzhou.

Secondly, he was thinking about whether there was anything he could use.

He thought quickly in his mind and stalled for time:

"What the Mother Goddess said does make sense, but Senior Hui Yunzi has already ordered the mountain gate to be closed not long ago. It seems that he has already planned to avoid Zhenwu. Without definite evidence, I am afraid it will be difficult to persuade him."

"evidence……"

The Mother Goddess hesitated for a moment, but quickly responded:

"Wang Xu, the ancestor of Zhenwu, is now only a hair's breadth away from the sixth level. Once he successfully crosses the level, with the help of the Dragon Transformation Pool, he alone will be enough to annihilate all the gods in our Ten Thousand Gods Kingdom. Is this evidence enough?"

As he spoke, the umbilical cord suddenly bent and lightly touched the air like a finger.

Then a phantom image quickly condensed.

In this scene, there is an old man with a forehead as big as a birthday star, a god of war with a thousand densely packed arms, and dozens of evil gods emitting the aura of a god... So many evil gods, as if facing a formidable enemy, only surrounded a figure wrapped in blood and shrouded by a golden pool.

The pictures are chaotic and the sounds are noisy.

However, one could faintly hear the evil gods whispering in fear:
"careful!"

Suddenly, the bloody figure moved.

The astonishing blood energy quickly transformed into a blood dragon, which carried this figure and fiercely killed the evil gods.

With a chop, the God of War retreated violently.

Many of the Longevity God's spells fell upon the figure, but were easily dispelled by the golden pool above the figure.

He also easily dodged the attacks from the other evil gods.

Then he got close and punched them one by one. Every time he threw a punch, an evil god was beaten to death!

If it weren't for the Mother Goddess constantly providing the power of incense, these evil gods would have almost no enemy.

It was also because of the inexhaustible power of the Mother Goddess's incense that she finally managed to exhaust the opponent's blood and energy, and both sides stopped fighting.

When the blood and energy dissipated, an old man with messy white hair and beard and a body as strong as copper was revealed.

Wang Ba was also very familiar with this old man.

It was the ancestor of Zhenwu, Wang Xu.

This was obviously from the perspective of the Mother Goddess herself, and it also allowed Wang Ba to see the power of the True Martial Way.

Wang Ba's heart couldn't help but freeze.

Although the Mother Goddess did not use the trump card that she had combined into one in Fenglinzhou in the past, the strength of Zhenwu Wang Xu still exceeded his expectations.

Judging from the images provided by the Mother Goddess alone, with the assistance of the Dragon Transformation Pool, Wang Xu can almost be called the number one person below the Refining Void Stage.

But more importantly, he also noticed some details:
"Many times he could have killed directly, but he chose to give up."

"Is he using the gods' help to hone himself and achieve a breakthrough?"

The voice of the Mother Goddess sounded slowly:
"It seems that you have also realized that the reason why the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods still exists today is because it uses us as a whetstone."

"Once he no longer needs us, or feels that we are no longer useful, that will be the time for us to be wiped out. Even if the incense does not go out, we will eventually return, but we will be under his control from then on."

"We must take a risk and fight for a way out for our Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods!"

Wang Ba was silent for a moment, glanced at the gods in the hall, and finally came to a conclusion in his mind.

Bow slightly:

"I will definitely do my best to persuade Wanxiang Sect to practice emptiness, even if it means death."

"It's just that I made a breakthrough not long ago. I would like to ask the Mother Goddess to give me a way to escape, in case I fail to persuade them and get captured by them."

"A plan to escape..."

The Mother Goddess hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"Take a step forward."

Wang Ba stepped forward as he was told.

Several umbilical cords flew out and poured directly into the body of the Yin God.

Soon, Wang Ba felt an incomparably abundant power of incense rushing out like a mighty river.

"How come these evil gods still have so much incense power?!"

Wang Ba was slightly startled.

He originally wanted to use this opportunity to explore the background and situation of these evil gods, but he did not expect that the Mother Goddess who had been crying miserably before would actually take action at this moment and be even more generous than before.

The Mother Goddess was also a little surprised:
"Are you already a God Lord?"

Just now, the Yin Spirit's aura was restrained, and He did not notice it.

At this moment, while injecting the power of incense, he discovered that the Yin God had quietly entered the level of God Lord.

Without the support of God's kingdom and enough believers, He could hardly imagine how the Yin God could do it.

"Could it be that he has nurtured a group of followers right under Lianxu's nose?"

Although he was confused, the power of the incense did not stop. Instead, it became even more violent.

After a long time, the umbilical cords slowly loosened and retracted.

Wang Ba was also satisfied.

As he broke through to the stage of transformation, the Yin God position directly surpassed the first-class God position and entered the level of God Lord.

The level of God Lord is roughly equivalent to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation of a cultivator, but when fighting alone against cultivators of the same level, the evil gods are often no match for the cultivators.

However, Wang Ba doesn't care. The Yin God is just one of his means. It is often more effective when used to bewitch and deceive. Even those with higher cultivation than him will most likely be affected by this.

Therefore, the amount of Yin God's power is what he is more concerned about.

After the breakthrough, the power of the Yin God shrank again and was almost exhausted. This time, the infusion from the Mother Goddess was exactly what he wanted.

But he also realized that there might not be many such opportunities in the future.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and said again:
"Thank you, Mother Goddess, for the gift... But to show your sincerity, why not take out some of the cultivation resources that we don't need and give them to the other party to show our unity."

Hearing this, the God of War, the God of Longevity and other gods did not react at all.

But the Mother Goddess hesitated for the first time:
"Would a Void Refining cultivator... care about these things?"

Wang Ba looked sincere:

"The Mother Goddess is not among the monks, so she doesn't know."

"These cultivators value interpersonal relationships. This interpersonal relationship is like you send me and I send you. The so-called 'understanding the world is a state of mind, and being familiar with human relationships is cultivation' is exactly this principle. We will first send him treasures without asking for anything. When he feels really uneasy and takes the initiative to find us, we will then mention the matter of alliance. How can he refuse us with dignity?"

"Even if he really refuses us out of dignity, if we are in danger, will he really have the nerve not to help us?"

"If he really does this, it would be a disgrace to him. How can he still hang out among the monks?"

"Even if this fails, it can still buy a way out for our Ten Thousand Gods Kingdom!"

"This……"

In the placenta, the voice of the Mother Goddess was filled with confusion for a moment.

"Is there such a strange custom among the monks?"

"If it weren't for the Yin God's reminder, I would have almost missed the big event."

"Thank you, Yin Shen."

Wang Ba looked solemn and said proudly:

"For the Mother Goddess, for the Kingdom of All Gods, and for the Supreme Sky, a little bit of humiliation is not worth mentioning!"

The gods of longevity, war, and others looked at him blankly. Only the mother goddess in the placenta spoke again, with a barely perceptible sigh in her tone:

"Thank you for your hard work, Yin Shen."

Wang Ba didn't say much. He just explained where the supplies were to be sent and then said goodbye and left.

His eyes swept over the endless Pantheon temples and the monks of the Incense Dao. He paused in mid-air, with a hint of indifference and regret in his eyes:

"Such a good incense, in the future..."

He shook his head slightly, then flew back to the Yinshen Temple.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the bottom of the Yae Sea.

After a brief chat with Yuanci Taoist, he arranged for people to receive the "favors" from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods through the Lingxi Stone. Then he and the shirtless monk Zhaojie flew along the sea towards the west.

However, he never went to Hui Yunzi to discuss any matters concerning the alliance between the two parties.

in his eyes.

The Kingdom of All Gods is about to complete its mission.

But what he is not sure about now is, who will be the next one? (End of this chapter)
