Longevity, starting from raising chickens

Outside the Wanxiang Sect.

The two stone pillars that originally stood tall and reached the sky have now quietly disappeared.

The three big characters "Wanxiang Sect" in the middle of the stone pillar also disappeared.

Only a vast expanse of land completely covered by thick fog was left.

Around this area, cities where mortals and monks live together stand like stars.

The population gradually increased, and the number of people coming and going became increasingly frequent.

At this moment, a handsome young man and an old man with a lion-like beard slowly stood at the edge of a city, looking far away in the direction of the Wanxiang Sect.

The handsome young man frowned slightly and looked at the old man in front of him, slightly puzzled:

"Brother, why did you bring me here?"

The old man turned his head casually and looked at him, with a smile on his face:
"Why, don't you want to go back and take a look?"

The handsome young man shook his head slightly and said bluntly:

"I don't trust you, Senior Brother. If you lie to me and tell me to start the sect's formation, and you take the opportunity to break in, then the sect will be destroyed in my hands."

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the old man couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.

He laughed, shook his head and sighed:
"So I am such a villain in the eyes of my junior brother."

"Well... not really, it's just that apart from Master, my parents, and Senior Sister, I don't trust anyone. I'm not targeting you."

The handsome young man felt a little embarrassed when he saw the old man acting like this and hurriedly tried to make amends.

However, the smile on the old man's face slowly faded, replaced by a trace of regret and a sigh of relief:

"What a pity... You are right. I do have this idea, but it seems that the Wanxiang Sect is much more cautious than I thought."

Hearing the old man's tone, which definitely did not sound like a joke, the handsome young man felt a chill in his heart.

He couldn't help but look at the old man seriously. The old man at this moment seemed to be completely separated from the Martial Ancestor who mingled with mortals before.

There is no kindness, no mercy, no compassion...what there is is just the coldness that should be possessed by a leader of a top powerful force.

The handsome young man couldn't even tell which side was really him.

Or maybe, every side.

He is the Martial Ancestor who is a man of great talent and genius, and can be said to be the nightmare of all cultivators.

It was that ordinary old man again, full of compassion for mortals.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? Haha, you don't really believe it, do you?"

The old man suddenly burst into laughter, and the sound immediately woke the handsome young man from his suspicion.

The handsome young man looked at the other person with a complicated expression, shook his head, and forced a smile on his face:
"I got it."

"That's good."

Hidden between the old man's shaggy and messy beard and hair were a pair of bright and brilliant eyes.

He turned his head again to look at the Wanxiang Sect shrouded in thick fog, but a hint of regret for not being seen flashed across his eyes.

"teacher……"

He shook his head slightly, then turned and left without any hesitation.

The handsome young man following behind him looked back at the Wanxiang Sect with hesitation, but finally gritted his teeth and left a secret sound transmission note on the spot, then followed:

"Brother, wait for me!"

Two figures stepped into the air, one in front and one behind.

From afar, I heard the old man's heroic voice:

"...Junior brother, who in this Xiaocang Realm can be my opponent?"

The handsome young man replied loudly without hesitation:
"Throughout the Xiaocang Realm, only Han Yanzi of the Original Demon Sect has this ability. He has swallowed up most of the accumulation of the Changsheng Sect and obtained a sixth-level spiritual plant, the Immortal God Tree. It is said that his cultivation has reached an unprecedented level! He is also the only great cultivator of the Refining Void Realm in the Xiaocang Realm!"

"If Zhenwu wants to unify the Xiaocang world, this person will be the biggest obstacle!"

"Is it?"

The old man turned his head with a smile on his face, his eyes seemed to see through the handsome young man's plan.

Although the handsome young man felt a little guilty, his voice became even louder:

"Brother, are you scared?"

"afraid?"

The sound of the old man's laughter filled the sky:

"Besides the kindness of my teacher, what else do I have to fear in my life?"

"It's nothing but life and death!"

The handsome young man's heart skipped a beat.

Is it...

However, the old man's words quickly shattered his fantasy.

"But no matter how strong he is, the most important thing right now is something else."

The handsome young man was immediately disappointed, but still asked:

"what's up?"

The old man shook his head slightly but said nothing more.

"Let's go!"

The two figures quickly disappeared at the end of the sky.

And shortly after the two left.

A figure with a huge head and extremely pale face hurried to the original mountain gate of Wanxiang Sect.

However, looking at the sect that had been completely submerged in thick fog, even though he used several methods that could open the formation in the past, the thick fog in front of him did not change at all.

The face of this figure was filled with confusion:
"What's going on? How did the sect become like this?"

Confused, he quickly shouted towards the sect:
"I'm back! I'm back!"

"Sect Master Qu, Deputy Sect Master Wang, Palace Master Ma..."

The sound of magical power poured into the depths of the thick fog before his eyes.

At this moment, in the thick fog, a voice full of doubt suddenly sounded:
"You are...Palace Master Guan?!"

"It's me, I'm Guan Ao!"

The huge head figure was very excited and said in a hurry:
"Who is guarding the formation? Please let me in immediately. I have something important to report to Sect Master Qu!"

"Master Qu..."

In the thick fog, the voice hesitated for a moment, then announced:
"Palace Master Guan, Sect Master Qu has now resigned and entered the Taihe Palace as an elder."

"Master Qu has resigned?"

Guan Ao was startled for a moment, then reacted and nodded in agreement:

“Although Sect Leader Wang is only at the Nascent Soul stage, he is comparable to the Spiritualization stage. He is also very capable and wise in making decisions. Having him as Sect Leader is also a blessing for the Sect…”

"No, it's Sect Master Zhao from the Mind and Body Sword Peak now."

The figure in the thick fog dared not delay upon hearing this, and quickly flew out of the fog to correct it.

Although his face was revealed, his entire body was still standing within the thick fog and formation.

Guan Ao's face was suddenly filled with astonishment.

"The surname is Zhao, and he's from Heart Sword Peak. Could it be... that kid Zhao Feng?"

"cough!"

The cultivator guarding the formation coughed lightly, but when he sensed the aura of Guan Ao, he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise:
"Palace Master Guan has also become a god?"

Guan Ao immediately came back to his senses, nodded indifferently, and then said in a deep voice:

"Please activate the formation quickly. I need to report to Sect Master Zhao..."

The monk guarding the formation heard this, but shook his head helplessly:
"Palace Master Guan has been away for a long time, but he didn't know that the sect has now closed the mountain gate. All cultivators who want to enter or exit must use the teleportation array and pass through the Spirit Mirage Questioning Array."

Guan Ao was startled when he heard this:
"Why?"

The monk guarding the formation looked at Guan Ao in confusion:
"Palace Master Guan, don't you know? Well, Palace Master Guan, please wait for a moment. I will go to Taihe Palace to meet with the elders."

Although Guan Ao was anxious, he still nodded:

"Then go quickly and don't waste time. This matter is of great importance!"

Hearing this, the monk guarding the formation did not dare to delay and quickly disappeared into the thick fog.

But within a few breaths, several figures quietly emerged from the thick fog.

When they saw Guan Ao and felt the divine aura emanating from him, they all showed surprise on their faces.

"It really is Palace Master Guan!"

"Palace Master Guan is back."

"I said Palace Master Guan must be fine."

Guan Ao glanced at everyone and immediately showed a look of doubt:

"Ling Weizi, Qu... Elder Qu, you have also become gods?"

Ji Ying was the leader, and amid his joy, he also showed a hint of caution and scrutiny:

"Guan Ao, why did you come back at this time? How come there has been no news from you in all these years?"

Guan Ao heard this and said quickly:
"I went to look for that Master Hualong, but since I started practicing, my mind has been in a trance. I don't know whether I am awake or asleep. Not long ago, I woke up and found myself drifting on the sea. After finally recovering a little, I rushed back... But I learned a huge secret!"

He looked around at everyone with a serious expression.

He glanced around carefully again.

Everyone was affected by his serious attitude and couldn't help but listen attentively.

But Guan Ao said solemnly:
"That Master Hualong is actually Ye Cangsheng!"

After saying that, he subconsciously paid attention to everyone's reactions.

However, he soon discovered to his amazement that upon hearing this huge secret, everyone just looked at each other strangely, and then Ji Ying shook his head slightly:

"I will arrange the teleportation array now, you can go back to the sect first."

Guan Ao was stunned and said quickly:
"Elder Ji, this is a big deal. Ye Cangsheng's transformation into Master Hualong must be up to something bad. We must not underestimate him..."

Ji Ying smiled and comforted him, "I understand. I will go and inform the Sect Master right away. You can come back first and we'll talk later."

After saying that, he gave Guan Ao a way to enter the sect's teleportation array.

Guan Ao was full of doubts, but he couldn't resist the temptation to return to the sect, and hurried to the teleportation array. After Guan Ao left, Ling Weizi suddenly said:

"Palace Master Guan must have been trapped in the Hualong Pond for a long time, so he didn't know about the many changes outside... The reason why he was able to escape from the Hualong Pond, according to the information we got from Zhongshengzhou before, the sudden attack of Wu Zu on the Hualong Pond should be due to the collapse of the Hualong Pond and the death of Master Hualong."

"The only strange thing is, if the Dragon Transformation Pool was destroyed by the Martial Ancestor, how did Palace Master Guan escape from the Martial Ancestor's hands?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ying and the others all nodded slightly, then frowned:
"You mean, there's something wrong with Palace Master Guan?"

Ling Weizi shook his head:

"Not sure, but this doubt is indeed difficult to explain."

Just saying.

Suddenly, a sound transmission note came from a distance and flew straight towards the Wanxiang Sect.

"Ok?"

Ji Ying frowned slightly, raised his hand, and scanned the sound transmission talisman with his spiritual sense, then his face showed surprise.

Seeing this, Ling Weizi and others couldn't help but ask curiously:

"what's the situation?"

Ji Ying handed the sound transmission note to everyone, with a strange look on his face:

"Yi An is still alive... He was brought to the vicinity of Wanxiang Sect by Wu Zu, who wanted to use him to trick the formation into opening. He also asked us to find Deputy Sect Master Wang and have him solve Wu Zu's problem... By the way, it was also mentioned that he personally saw Palace Master Guan being found by a true warrior from the collapsed Hualong Pond, and then thrown into the sea by Wu Zu."

Ling Weizi and the others swept the sound transmission talisman with their spiritual senses, and felt the secret code and breath left by Wang Yian to prove his identity, and they were all happy and surprised.

The good news is that Wang Yian is still alive, but the shocking thing is that Wu Zu has indeed set his sights on the Wanxiang Sect.

If Wang Yian had not been so meticulous and cautious, like his father, a shocking battle would have broken out just now.

"In that case, Palace Master Guan doesn't have any major problems, but he still needs to go through the Heart-Searching Formation."

Ling Weizi spoke.

"Well, let's go and take a look first... We must also tell the Sect Master about this matter immediately."

Ji Ying finally made the final decision.

Then one of them rushed to Chunyang Palace with the sound transmission talisman, and the rest of them landed at the Lingmien Heart-Searching Formation, which was activated by Ji Ying himself.

Not long after, Guan Ao walked out of the teleportation array. When he saw the Heart-Searching Array, he frowned slightly.

He could vaguely feel that this Conscience Formation had a bit more murderous flavor than before.

Obviously, if the Spirit Mirage Heart-Searching Formation detects a problem, it will immediately launch a killing move.

Several gods incarnated around also stood in several directions, blocking their own space.

If you move even a little, you will be dealt a fatal blow.

When Guan Ao saw this, he naturally felt something strange in his heart and felt somewhat aggrieved.

After much difficulty, he finally escaped back and immediately rushed to report the secrets to the sect. However, he was treated with such caution by the sect's top leaders, which made him unhappy.

But his heart was immediately startled.

The position of the sect leader changed, and fellow disciples entered the stage of transformation into a god one after another. Even so, the mountain gate was still closed, cutting off contact with the outside world. The guards were so strict that even a high-ranking sect member like him could not enter or leave at will. It was obvious that the sect was now in a great crisis.

Thinking of this, and thinking of the fact that Ye Cangsheng used the name of Master Hualong, Guan Ao's unhappiness lessened a little, and he immediately flew in with big strides.

After half a stick of incense.

Ji Ying and others greeted Guan Ao with a smile.

"Please don't blame me, Palace Master Guan. I did this out of consideration for the sect's safety..."

Guan Ao shook his head slightly, saying:
"I have to report this matter to the Sect Master as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Ji Ying also knew that the other party was angry, and shook his head:

"Then let's go together. We also have something else to discuss."

Although Guan Ao was puzzled, he did not want to ask more questions. He had already realized that a long time seemed to have passed since he left, and he was not clear about many things.

Without stopping, everyone flew quickly to Chunyang Palace.

Zhao Feng was sitting cross-legged in the hall, holding a sound transmission talisman in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

When I saw everyone coming, I knew what they were doing.

However, his eyes quickly fell on Guan Ao, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile of joy:

"Congratulations to Palace Master Guan for escaping from this predicament."

Seeing Zhao Feng, who was a generation younger than him, sitting in the position of sect leader, Guan Ao felt a little awkward, but he still bowed slightly to show his respect for the sect leader, and then quickly told him about what he had encountered during this period of time and the matter of Master Hualong.

"Master Hualong has fallen."

Zhao Feng shook his head slightly and said something that shocked Guan Ao.

"Falled?"

Guan Ao couldn't help but take a step forward with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

Zhao Feng carefully watched Guan Ao's subtle reactions, and finally nodded slightly, smiling:
"No matter what, it can be said that it is a double blessing for Palace Master Guan to return safely and enter the Spiritual Transformation Realm... It's a pity that the great calamity is approaching and we can't celebrate for Palace Master Guan. But Palace Master Guan has now entered the Spiritual Transformation Realm. I wonder if he is willing to continue to serve in Tianyuan Palace or go to Taihe Palace to practice in peace?"

Guan Ao was slightly stunned:

"Great calamity? Why is there another great calamity? Didn't it just pass not long ago?"

Among the elders of Taihe Palace, Qu Shentong couldn't help but speak:

"It has been four or five hundred years since you left for Huangji Continent."

"Four or five hundred years... I have been trapped in the Dragon Pond for that long?"

There was a slight daze in Guan Ao's eyes.

A cultivator who has reached the state of Divine Transformation can live for more than four thousand years.

But four or five hundred years is not a small number, especially when you are in a daze. After waking up from a dream, you find that the changes are so great. For a moment, you have a feeling that things and people have changed and time has passed.

But he reacted quickly.

"Since the catastrophe is imminent, it would be useless for me to practice in seclusion. It would be better for me to stay in Tianyuan Palace and see if I can be of any use."

"good."

Zhao Feng nodded. Seeing that Guan Ao had already entered the state of spiritual transformation, his breath was weak, he sent him back to recuperate first.

Guan Ao also knew the priorities. Although he didn't think it would have any impact, he didn't reject Zhao Feng's kindness.

He then bowed to Zhao Feng and everyone else, then left alone.

As he was leaving, he suddenly saw a figure with a sharp sword intent flying towards him hurriedly.

The two met at the gate of Chunyang Palace.

The man was a little sloppy, and when he saw Guan Ao, he was inexplicably stunned for a moment.

When Guan Ao saw this strange incarnation of the god, he felt that he looked unfamiliar and could not help but pause for a moment.

Both of them subconsciously smiled at each other and nodded.

Then he passed by the wrong person.

Guan Ao flew away slowly.

"Strange... Why do I feel like this person is familiar? I have never seen this person before."

The sloppy figure paused and turned around, watching the other person leave, scratching the back of his head in confusion.

At this time, Ji Ying's voice was heard from the hall:

"Fellow Daoist Chi Jian, why don't you come in?"

The sloppy figure responded quickly and flew in.

The doubts in my mind were quickly forgotten.

After flying into the sect, he immediately heard the arguments in the hall:
"…What Vice Sect Master Wang said does make sense. The ancestors of the sect spent so much money to build this treasure raft for overcoming tribulations. Now is the time to put it to use."

"If a great catastrophe occurs, this precious raft and that temple will be our two escape routes."

"But the treasure raft was originally made for crossing the boundary sea, and the requirements for the driver are extremely high. Who can take on this important task now?"

"I propose Ling Weizi, Shen Ying, Qu Shentong...several elders."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Elder Chijian, do you have any ideas?"

Chi Jian, who had returned to his slovenly appearance not long after joining the sect, was startled when he heard this, and then quickly shook his head:

"I listen to you."

Zhao Feng hesitated for a moment, then said:

"The Tribulation Raft is of great importance, and we need to send two guards..."

Chi Jian immediately understood Zhao Feng's meaning and took the initiative to say:
"Count me in."

Zhao Feng nodded, then frowned and said:
"One more to go."

Chi Jian suddenly remembered the man just now and said subconsciously:
"Isn't that person just now also a god?"

"Palace Master Guan?"

Zhao Feng heard this, but shook his head slightly, glanced at the people around him, and then mentioned another person's name:
"Elder Tang, please guard the Tribulation Raft together with Elder Chi Jian."

Tang Ji nodded in agreement.

Although Zhao Feng is not a deity, his efforts in leading the sect over the years have been seen by everyone in Taihe Palace. He also has the support of Wang Ba and Xumi, so naturally no deity dares to neglect him.

All matters were arranged quickly and everyone left.

And at the same moment.

Guan Ao returned to his residence at Shenti Peak. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror in front of him, a barely perceptible struggle suddenly flashed across his face.

The next moment, his face suddenly regained its composure. His eyes were like an unfathomable deep spring. He slowly raised his hand and stroked his face. A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his calm eyes:
"too ugly……"

"As expected, weapon spirits cannot accomplish great things. This Master Hualong actually chose this body for me..."

"And we couldn't even get Wang Xu's skills!"

"If you have not died for me, you must be severely punished."

"but……"

He slowly scanned the surroundings, transcending the limits of the Divine Body Peak, sensing everything in this sect, and nodded with satisfaction:

"Is the precious raft that can escape this world and cross the sea of ​​​​intervals in this sect?"

"The situation is not too bad." (End of this chapter)
