Longevity, starting from raising chickens

In the secret realm, spiritual energy flows.

Wang Ba sat cross-legged between the Jade Fire Paulownia Tree and the Emperor Willow. His spirit emerged from his body and he gazed at the map of the celestial bodies.

But I saw the Dao domain around me spreading out little by little, and the dark yellow color continued to surge.

Sometimes there are five colors flowing, sometimes there are purple lightning and green wind, sometimes the divine patterns turn over, and sometimes the starlight is turbulent.

The qi and blood flow, and the soul is filled with energy.

In the midst of constant changes, the way Wang Ba practiced was rapidly becoming perfected at an astonishing speed.

In the past, Xinyuan used his body to fill the membrane eye. Although he was trapped in it, it was a blessing in disguise. The improvement of his Tao realm was unimaginable.

Wang Ba merged into the world through the body of Xinyuan. Although his realm was limited and he could not see all the mysteries therein, even after more than a hundred years of hard contemplation, he could only achieve one tenth of it.

But even so, for the level of transformation of the spirit, it is already a remarkable achievement.

Therefore, although he had not practiced his own Dao domain at all in the past hundred years, it was as if he had dug out a wide and connected ditch. Now, looking at the map of the stars in the sky, things such as the five elements, wind and thunder, etc., were like surging waters, following this ditch that Wang Ba had already dug, straight to the target.

The first level of Dao realm is complete!
And it was almost at the same time.

Wang Ba's soul suddenly closed his eyes.

The unfolded map of the celestial stars also rolled up quickly in an instant and flew into Wang Ba's sleeves.

However, Wang Ba's soul remained silent and said nothing, just closed his eyes and meditated quietly.

The Xuanhuang Dao Realm around him was constantly creating waves, but after just a few days, this turbulent Dao Realm finally stabilized.

It exudes a breath as thick as the earth.

However, compared to before, the range that the Xuanhuang Dao Realm can cover has increased more than ten times. With just one thought, it can easily cover an area of ​​more than ten miles around.

Within this range, any existence weaker than him can be said to be at his mercy of life and death.

The soul also opened its eyes, and then gradually returned to Wang Ba's body.

Afterwards, Wang Ba came back to his senses, feeling that his body had completely reached perfection, only waiting for a breakthrough, and felt a little regretful:

“It seems perfect, but it’s still a little short of breaking through to the second stage of Dao Realm, which is Refining Void… However, I feel that if the former Han Yanzi was still in front of me, if he didn’t have any other means, he might be able to fight me on equal terms. No, I should be slightly inferior, right?”

The higher the level of cultivation, the more astonishing the gap becomes.

The gap between the Spirit Transformation and the Void Refining is not so easy to make up even with the foundation of the Wanfa Vein.

Of course, Han Yanzi himself has been practicing the Void Refining Realm for many years, and his methods are much stronger than those who have just entered the Void Refining Realm.

Therefore, Wang Ba himself was quite calm about this result.

"The first-level Dao domain is perfect, and now the Ice Taoist is also like this... However, if you want to merge with the Ice Taoist, you still need to think about it carefully."

Wang Ba was in deep thought.

After breaking through the Golden Core stage, the difficulty for a Wanfamai cultivator to integrate into a new essence increases exponentially, and the higher the realm, the higher the difficulty will be.

The Nascent Soul stage is already extremely difficult, and when it comes to the Spiritual Transformation stage, the difficulty will only soar.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Ba needs to try every possible means to make the Bing Dao Domain find a point of integration into the Xuanhuang Dao Domain as much as possible. After finding it, he will take the opportunity to integrate it little by little until it is completely completed.

It's easier said than done, but in reality, even the first step is impossible.

The Dao Realm is the highly condensed state that cultivators have achieved through their practice, and it does not allow any outside Dao Realm to enter. If one wants to find this point of convergence, one needs to practice every day, and it also requires time and perception.

But the greater possibility is that we will never find this point of fit.

Wang Ba's mind turned, and he remembered the advice given by Master Hui Yunzi before he went into seclusion, and frowned slightly:

"Grandmaster Hui Yunzi said that if I want to merge with the Taoist Ice Master, the key lies in the "Greatest Refining Emotions Art"... But how can I find the point of convergence in this "Greatest Refining Emotions Art"? "

Wang Ba thought seriously in his heart, but had no clue.

But he was not surprised.

He had originally planned to spend a thousand or even ten thousand years to merge with the Ice Taoist, but now he wanted to achieve something before the catastrophe came, which was really asking too much.

But he has also thought of a way to deal with this.

He immediately took out a stone bead that looked quite ordinary.

It is only half the size of a palm, and its surface is hard and rough.

But Wang Ba did not dare to underestimate it.

"A fifth-level sea pearl... can be used to deduce and improve based on what the user already knows, according to the user's ideas. This is quite different from the Zhoutian Star Chart."

The Zhoutian Star Map is more inclined to help Wang Ba comprehend the principles of the great Dao. Of course, in the process, he may also comprehend some magic skills and supernatural powers.

Once upon a time, when Wang Ba was comprehending the Zhoutian star map, he summarized various divination techniques and comprehended the "Zhoutian Doushu".

But in comparison, the Zhoutian Star Map is more about helping to improve one's realm, while Haizhu is more like giving an effective solution based on the user's own situation.

Precisely because of this function, cultivators of all generations have consumed a great deal of sea pearls, so much so that even now the Wanxiang Sect only has two fifth-level sea pearls that are slowly recovering.

"A fifth-level sea pearl... I wonder if it can solve the problem of fusing with the Ice Taoist."

Thinking of this, he immediately forced out a drop of his soul blood, which fell into the fifth-level sea pearl in his hand.

But the stone bead suddenly shook.

The essence and blood quickly seeped into the stone bead, and then a faint blue luster suddenly appeared on the rough surface of the stone bead.

As if sensing Wang Ba's anticipation for it, the stone bead began to spin at a very fast speed.

It seemed as if it was dealing with Wang Ba's needs for it, and trying to find a solution from the means that Wang Ba himself had mastered.

Wang Ba waited patiently for a while.

As a result, short and concise words and graphics soon appeared on the sea pearl.

After taking a careful look, Wang Ba was a little surprised at first, and then he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and enlightened.

“So that’s how it is… Although the Ice Taoist is no longer as cold as ice after becoming a spirit, he has always been indifferent. After practicing the Supreme Emotion Refining Art, he has become even more indifferent… And this is more of a superficial appearance. In essence, this is actually a manifestation of the Ice Dao and the Ice Dao Realm, but it does not involve the Dao Realm.”

"So I just need to follow the artistic conception and true meaning of the Supreme Refining Emotions Art, and try to make my emotions and personality as close as possible until they are completely in harmony with the Ice Taoist. Then I will be able to find the opportunity to merge with him. Once I break the artistic conception of the Supreme Refining Emotions Art, it means that I have completely merged with the Ice Taoist."

Although these words sounded difficult to understand, Wang Ba immediately understood the direction.

Of course, just having a direction is not enough, so Haizhu also provides corresponding means of practice to allow oneself to be in harmony with Bing Dao Ren as soon as possible.

"My mood is indifferent and heartless..."

Wang Hao was thoughtful.

He quickly came back to his senses, looked at the sea pearl in his hand, and exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of his heart:
"It is indeed a fifth-level sea pearl... A fifth-level sea pearl alone has such a miraculous effect. I wonder how miraculous the sixth-level sea pearl is. Unfortunately, most of them are no longer in this Xiaocang world."

I feel quite regretful.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something. "The Yuanci Taoist is now more and more integrated with the boundary membrane. I am afraid that it will not be long before the old story of the Heart Fate Master will repeat itself... Since Haizhu can solve the problem of integrating with Bing Taoist, can it also..."

With this idea in mind, Wang Ba would certainly not miss it.

He immediately held the sea pearl, and a thought occurred to him.

To his surprise, the Haizhu started to spin again as before, as if it was looking for a solution.

Not long after, the sea pearl suddenly stopped, and then words and figures began to appear on the sea pearl little by little, just like before.

"To peel off from the membrane, you must maintain consciousness and use..."

Just as the next word was about to appear, the sea pearl in front of him suddenly shook, and then there was a "click" sound on the surface of the dark blue pearl, and a crack that made him shudder!

"Not good! This is beyond the capabilities of a fifth-level sea pearl!"

Wang Ba was shocked and quickly withdrew his thought.

The faint words that were about to appear on the sea pearl also quickly faded, and the light disappeared in an instant. The sea pearl turned back into the plain, hard and rough stone bead.

However, the cracks on the stone beads still made Wang Ba feel a little distressed.

Such a treasure was almost destroyed in his hands.

"It's so difficult for Yuanci Taoist to escape from the boundary membrane... It seems that only the sixth-level sea pearl can hope to solve the problem of Yuanci Taoist."

Wang Ba felt a little helpless.

Nowadays, there has been no news about the existence of sixth-level sea pearls, which means that the problems faced by Yuanci Taoists are probably unsolvable.

"It seems that I can only extract my spirit and soul and practice again. But hundreds of years of hard work will be wasted."

Although he felt a little helpless, Wang Ba quickly calmed down.

It's not like he hasn't encountered difficulties in his practice, but as long as he's alive, there's hope that everything can be solved.

He didn't think any more about it and put away the fifth-level sea pearl. Then he began to try to practice the method of accelerating fusion derived from the sea pearl.

"A heart as pure as ice..."

Wang Ba's heart quickly calmed down, and then his whole temperament seemed to become much colder.

It seems that I have lost interest in everything around me.

But at this moment, a slightly respectful voice suddenly sounded outside the secret realm, which instantly broke Wang Ba from this state.

His temperament suddenly became gentle and peaceful again.

"Xin Zhao asked to see the deputy sect leader. The Spiritual Food Department has already picked and extracted the Dao spirits of all the Dao spirit beasts..."

Listening to the voices outside the secret realm, Wang Ba pondered for a moment:
"The Taiyi Temple is the sect's retreat, so we can't help but pay attention to it."

He immediately stood up and left the secret realm. As expected, he saw Xin Zhao standing far away outside Wanfa Peak, waiting politely.

Seeing Wang Ba coming out, he hurriedly presented an octagonal box with both hands.

This octagonal box was one of the magical instruments specially made by Xun Fujun in the past to contain the Tao, and it has been used before.

Wang Ba nodded slightly, took the octagonal box from a distance, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and nodded with satisfaction:
"Master Xin, thank you for making the trip in person."

Xin Zhao smiled and said:
"For a sect, how can it be said to be hard work?"

Wang Ba nodded, and after some further greetings, Xin Zhao took his leave.

Wang Ba pondered for a moment, then took the octagonal box and rushed to Chunyang Palace.

Upon learning that Wang Ba was about to start his advancement to the Taiyi Dao field, although Zhao Feng felt that it would delay Wang Ba's practice, he was quite supportive. Soon, after receiving the news, other Jindan cultivators also quickly rushed over.

Although they don't know how to advance the temple, it doesn't stop them from protecting Wang Ba.

Among the people who came were Liang Wuji and An Changshou from the Changsheng Sect. When they heard that Wang Ba wanted to be promoted to the Daoist temple, he, who had luckily saved his life from Han Yanzi, suddenly spoke up and made a suggestion:
"The Immortal God Tree has many wonderful uses. It can suppress the void and increase spiritual veins. If it is used as a suppressing object in this Taoist temple, and grows together, I wonder if it is feasible?"

Liang Wuji's words surprised all the gods of Wanxiang Sect.

Zhao Feng couldn't help but look at Wang Ba.

Wang Ba thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

But he still looked at Liang Wuji seriously and said:

"Fellow Daoist, this is a great honor, but this item is the most precious treasure of the Changsheng Sect after all, so we are still borrowing it from your sect. If one day, Fellow Daoist Liang or other people from the Changsheng Sect ask for it, we will return it immediately."

Liang Wuji couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He bowed to Wang Ba and didn't say much.

Someone immediately presented the Immortal Tree.

Wang Ba was not polite either. He held the sacred tree in his palm and flew towards the sky above the Wanxiang Sect.

Then he followed an empty eye and rushed in.

Sensing Wang Ba's arrival, a green dragon immediately pounced towards Wang Ba with joy.

Wang Ba also smiled for a rare moment and wanted to stroke Qinglong's head, but even though Qinglong had tried his best to be smaller, it was still too big compared to Wang Ba.

Wang Ba had no choice but to give up and ordered:

"Da Fu, you protect me."

The Azure Dragon suddenly grew in size and enveloped everything around it.

Wang Ba shook his head slightly and looked towards the figure sitting cross-legged in the Taiyi Taoist temple.

He was dressed in a moon-white robe, and seemed to be completely unaware of the movements around him.

It was the founder Hui Yunzi.

His aura was suppressed to the extreme, so he was able to hide in the Taoist temple that was supposed to accommodate only cultivators in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

After feeling this dojo, I found that it has not suffered much damage in the boundary membrane over the years. On the contrary, it has grown significantly by absorbing many chaotic source substances within the boundary membrane.

Wang Ba no longer hesitated and immediately threw the Immortal Tree in his hand into the Taoist temple.

As soon as the immortal tree entered, its huge roots began to twist rapidly like a living thing and penetrated into the void.

At the same time, Wang Ba immediately poured all the Taoist ideas in the octagonal box into the Taoist temple, and then began to upgrade the Taoist temple according to the method he learned from Jiang Yi.

Half a day later.

Wang Ba looked at the Taiyi Taoist temple, which was dozens of times larger than before, and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

"Refining the void!"

“This dojo can accommodate Void Refining cultivators so quickly. It is indeed worthy of being a sixth-level spiritual plant.”

"This retreat should be enough for now." (End of this chapter)
