Longevity, starting from raising chickens

The rolling stars.

Four elephants as high as the sky.

Four huge figures of dragon, tiger, sparrow and turtle stood at the four corners of the sky.

Under the beautiful and silent starry night like glass, Zhao Feng stared blankly at Wang Ba's figure flying alone into the sky and leaving the group.

My heart felt heavy for a moment.

He could vaguely feel that his junior brother seemed to be walking alone in a direction that he had never been in for countless thousands of years in Xiaocang Realm.

He didn't know whether this direction led to the abyss or to dawn.

But he knew that for a man like his junior brother to dare to make this choice, he must have thought about it countless times and made a decision that was so painful that he made up his mind completely.

A faint sigh.

Without any hesitation, he immediately urged the monks of Wanxiang Sect and the raft to fly to the Taoist temple.

……

"Deputy Sect Leader, do you need me to accompany you?"

When he was halfway in the air, Wang Ba paused slightly.

Patriarch Hui Yunzi, dressed in a moon-white robe, stood quietly before him, his expression as indifferent as ever.

Seeing the other party, Wang Ba felt a little warm in his heart, and then shook his head gently:

"Master, I appreciate your kindness, but you don't have to... By the way, now that all the world-eaters outside the world are gone, Master can take this opportunity to leave this world and try to survive the calamity of ascension."

"The rules in the realm are in disarray now, so the thunder tribulation shouldn't be as severe as before. However, for safety reasons, it's safer outside the realm."

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Hui Yunzi was silent for a moment, then he spoke:

"If you see that 'person'...please ask for me whether my disciple is still alive."

Wang Ba was slightly startled, then softened a little and nodded:

"Master, rest assured, I will definitely bring it there."

Master Hui Yunzi did not say anything, but just nodded slightly and stepped aside to make way.

Wang Ba didn't bother to hang around, and immediately flew straight towards the sky.

What you see are bright stars.

But this book was initiated by him alone, so how could it be obscured from his sight?

With a thought, he crossed the starry sky and then casually fell into a boundary membrane.

Within the gray boundary membrane, Wang Ba stood tall, his eyes not looking to the side.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the void, penetrate the countless changes in the boundary membrane, and see the only unchanging truth.

Speak softly:
"Please come out, sir."

He didn't look for it deliberately, but he knew that the 'person' must be somewhere watching him silently.

As time passed, no one appeared.

Wang Ba couldn't help but frown slightly.

I waited patiently for a while, but still no one showed up.

Just as Wang Ba’s patience was running out, he was ready to use other methods.

In the gray, flowing boundary membrane in front of him, a figure finally slowly condensed and walked out of the chaos.

He was tall and strong, with muscular body, shirtless, and long jet-black hair casually draped over his body.

His eyes were filled with arrogance and insolence, as if he didn't care about anyone in the world.

Seeing this figure and seeing this look, Wang Ba was shocked all over!
He thought of this appearance almost every time he was not practicing. Even if hundreds of years had passed, how could he forget it?
"Master!"

But he immediately took a deep breath, his eyes instantly became clear, his face solemn, and his tone full of coldness:
"Since I have come here alone and have shown my sincerity, why do you have to threaten someone close to me?"

Yao Wudi did not speak either. His eyes suddenly changed, showing a hint of indifference and loneliness similar to Hui Yunzi's. Almost in an instant, his body turned into a middle-aged monk in a moon-white robe, with a pale face and no beard.

"Elder Xun..."

Wang Ba's face was slightly gloomy, staring at this 'Lord Xun Fu'. After a while, he suddenly spoke:
"What should I call you?"

"Ogura Kaitendao... or Jieling?"

Xun Fujun didn't seem surprised that Wang Ba had seen through his origins, but his expression suddenly turned cold, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He finally opened his mouth and uttered a fierce overlapping voice, which sounded like a man or a woman, old or young:
"How dare you! You are just a living being born from my body, how dare you act so presumptuous in front of me!"

Wang Ba's expression was unexpectedly calm.

The tone was unexpectedly not timid at all, but rather contained a hint of sharpness:

"If it weren't for me, Xiaocang Realm would have become a desolate place. I'll give you a little face and call you the Heavenly Dao of Xiaocang Realm, but if you don't appreciate it, I'll call you a withered bone in a grave. What can you do?"

"What can I do?"

Xun Fujun sneered and raised his sleeves.

A water mirror suddenly appeared between the two of them.

In the water mirror, the figure of Master Hui Yunzi immediately appeared.

Wang Ba's heart trembled.

The next moment, amidst the sneer of Xun Fujun, a shocking thunderbolt immediately fell on the head of Patriarch Hui Yunzi!

The lightning flooded his body.

When the thunder and lightning gradually faded away, the figure of Master Hui Yunzi was no longer visible.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ba’s face turned cold as frost and he slowly raised his head.

Xunfu Jun smiled:
"How is it? Do you know how powerful I am?"

However, what surprised him was that the coldness on Wang Ba's face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by calmness.

He shook his head calmly.

He raised his hand and slowly made a hand seal.

The next moment, Xun Fujun's expression changed slightly.

Almost as soon as it thought about it, it saw a gap in the wall of its own boundary that had not yet been repaired. A huge bird as big as half the size of the boundary was hanging quietly in front of the gap with a look of humiliation on its face.

It seems that one can tear open the boundary membrane again and break into the boundary at any time.

Xun Fujun suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Ba opposite him.

His expression remained calm, a calmness that made people shudder.

But this time, 'Xun Fujun' did not dare to underestimate him at all.

His face twisted for a while, and the next moment, Shaoyangzi, with a peaceful temperament, appeared in front of Wang Ba.

It has a serene smile on its face.

He shook his head and sighed:
"Among the innate gods and demons, there are very few people like you."

Wang Ba's face was calm, but his heart was skipping a beat.

However, "Shaoyangzi" did not explain, but just waved his sleeves lightly.

The water mirror in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Instead, there are green tea gardens, tea tables, tea stoves, spring water, and tea fragrance...

'Shaoyangzi' sat down first around the stove, then looked at Wang Ba with a smile and raised his hand to invite him.

"I have learned many skills from you monks, but I love the tea ceremony the most. Please."

Wang Ba sat down naturally.

It was as if the conflict just now was just an illusion.

He took the teacup that the other person pushed over to him.

He raised the cup and took a sip.

"how?"

Under Shaoyangzi's slightly expectant gaze, Wang Ba nodded slightly, but then a hint of regret appeared on his face.

"Does Wang Xiaoyou have any opinion?"

Shao Yangzi couldn't help but ask out loud.

Wang Ba did not hold back and said seriously:

"This tea is clear, sweet and fragrant, unlike any vulgar tea on earth, yet it has no spiritual aura at all. It wins only by its taste. Nothing I have ever tasted in my life can compare to it. The only pity is that its taste is short-lived and disappears in a flash, just like the fleeting moment of heaven and earth."

After hearing Wang Ba's words, Shao Yangzi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and exclaimed:
"You are not a tea friend, but you see too clearly..."

The smile on his face faded, and he looked at Wang Ba and said seriously:

"In that case, there is no need for us to test each other any further. How about being frank with each other?"

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear."

Wang Ba was calm and composed, with a slight smile on his face, but there was still no ripple in his eyes. He asked calmly:

"I don't know how to call you a friend?"

Shao Yangzi replied calmly:
"I was born before the world was formed. I should have been nameless but now I have a name. I am just a floating dust in the sea of ​​​​dust. The name I get is 'Cang Fuzi'."

"Wang has overstepped his authority, so I will call for Taoist friend Cang Fuzi."

Wang Ba raised his hand gently.

Cang Fuzi still maintained the expression of 'Shao Yangzi' and chuckled:

"Whatever, the name is just a lie... My friend, you came here alone, so I guess you must have many doubts. But I also have some doubts. When did you guess that I existed in this world?"

Wang Ba heard this and did not hide it:
"When I annihilated my seven emotions and six desires and merged with the Ice Dao incarnation, I found too many coincidences. The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods, the True Warriors... If it was the creation of heaven and earth, it would be too much. If there was external interference, then everything would make sense."

Cang Fuzi heard this and realized something belatedly:
"I see. That's right. We were too hasty after all." It then asked:
"What doubts do you have? I have nothing to hide."

Wang Ba was not polite either. He stared into Cang Fuzi's eyes and asked seriously:
"The first question... I think you have guessed it."

Cang Fuzi was startled for a moment, then nodded, as if he understood what Wang Ba was thinking:
"You want to ask, is your ability to move life span derived from me?"

At this moment, although he had already guessed it in his heart, Wang Ba still couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart when he heard Cang Fuzi's words.

But soon, he calmed down.

Throughout his life, the ability to move his lifespan has indeed provided him with great help. It is no exaggeration to say that this ability has played a huge role in his journey to where he is today, so he is cautious and dares not expose himself in the slightest.

But now and then.

Today, this ability is still important, but it is no longer the most important one.

He realized more clearly that the most important thing... is always to master this ability himself.

He nodded slowly but calmly.

Upon seeing this, Cang Fuzi showed a helpless look and told a story that shocked Wang Ba:

"You should know that from time to time, innate gods and demons from outside the world enter the world. Because they contain different Dao meanings, they often have special talents. When you entered the world in the past, you seemed ordinary, but you happened to hit the path of 'life and destiny' and seized it..."

“Innate God and Devil… Why do you think I am an innate god and devil, Fellow Daoist Cang Fuzi?”

Wang Ba finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a deep voice.

Cang Fuzi shook his head and said:

"You came from outside the world, and you are born with intelligence, so you are naturally a congenital god or demon. As for where you came from and why you came here, that is the fate of the world sea, and I don't care."

Wang Ba fell silent for a moment, but his thoughts were still churning in his mind.

Cang Fuzi said, and continued the previous topic:

"The Dao you seized is not that important. Few creatures in the world have touched this Dao. The part you seized is not much and is not obvious. Therefore, I don't care. Restricted by the rules, I can't do it myself. So I just wait until you die of old age, and then Xiaocang Realm will naturally be taken back."

"Who would have thought that you have worked so hard to learn the method of cultivation and have persisted for many years, which has gradually revealed the way of 'lifespan creation'. This has given me a glimmer of hope. I have long anticipated that there will be a day of disaster, so I have tried my best to accumulate means of resistance... I have observed your thoughts and spirit, so I have transformed this way of creation into the ability to move lifespan, supplemented by a written reminder."

"It can be regarded as handing over all my authority in this field to you."

"But I hope you can help in times of crisis. I can't let you fall into the ruthless evil path, so I set a rule that you can't easily take away the lifespan of your kind. Even if you do, there are many restrictions. I'm also worried that you will die halfway, so I set the 'substitute death' magic rule in the name of 100,000 years of lifespan."

"These were just random actions taken out of desperation. In fact, there have been many such methods laid down over the years, each of them was different. It's just that you are the only one who has come to this point now..."

Listening to Cang Fuzi's words, they were reflected one by one with the unforgettable experiences in my memory.

Wang Ba felt mixed emotions.

He doesn't care about his own life, it's all about the thoughts of the 'person' in front of him.

In fact, living in the world is like being on the Internet, where anyone’s life, death, and future can be easily determined by another person’s thought.

He had encountered this many times along the way.

He is not so arrogant as to think that he is the only one who is different from others.

What he cared about was that even the spirits of the Ogura Realm, who enjoyed a lifespan even longer than that of the World Eaters and could manipulate the rules at will and influence the fate of all living beings in the realm, were also subject to various constraints and were not free.

He can't even destroy an ordinary mortal with his own hands.

So... is there really something in this sea of ​​​​realm that can transcend everything?
Qi training, foundation building... Void training, fusion, tribulation crossing, Mahayana...

After achieving Mahayana, and ascending to become an immortal, will there still be various hardships and constraints waiting for him?
Wang Ba didn't know.

But judging from his past experiences, perhaps ascending to the higher realms would also have corresponding troubles.

This realization did not disappoint him, but made him finally see some things clearly and finally make some decisions.

"You should understand these explanations, right? Do you have any other questions?"

"Including the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods, including the True Warriors... If you have any questions, I can tell you."

Cang Fuzi's voice interrupted Wang Ba's thoughts.

Wang Ba came to his senses, but contrary to Cang Fuzi's expectations, he did not ask about the deeds of the two.

Instead, he asked a question that Cang Fuzi had never expected:

"Fellow Daoist Cang Fuzi, do you have seven emotions and six desires?"

There was silence for a while.

Cang Fuzi's face suddenly changed, from "Shao Yangzi" to Han Yanzi, and then to a cultivator he didn't recognize at all...

Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, separation and reunion, all these faces seem to reveal true emotions.

But in the end, its face was just a blur without any features.

Its voice finally took off all its disguise, and became indifferent and cold:
"All living things have desires. My desire is to exist."

"As long as the Ogura world is here, I will be here. For this, everything is possible."

Wang Ba was silent for a while, then suddenly said:

"Outside the world, there isn't much Chaos Essence left, right?"

Cang Fuzi was startled, and above the blurred face, the gentle face of 'Shao Yangzi' reappeared, with a hint of sighing emotion:

“Indeed, there aren’t many left. Although I have absorbed a lot of Chaos Essence and Dao Intentions from the World Eaters this time, I can only sustain it for a few hundred years at most before I start to decline. Even if I downgrade again, I won’t be able to hold on for too long. By then, I’m afraid that new World Eaters will be attracted.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba revealed another piece of news that Cang Fuzi didn't know:

"I searched Han Yanzi's soul before. He wanted to use the blood sacrifice of all living beings to inform the innate gods and demons in the sea of ​​​​boundaries of the location of Xiaocang Realm in exchange for the opportunity to transform into an innate god and demon."

"Innate God and Demon?!"

A look of surprise and solemnity appeared on Cang Fuzi's face.

Then I was filled with worries:

"If so, I just hope that the innate gods and demons that come here are not too powerful. Right now, this world can no longer withstand any setbacks..."

Wang Ba smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he suddenly asked a question:
"Why did Fellow Daoist Cang Fuzi want to preserve the true spirits of our Wanxiang Sect's masters?"

Cang Fuzi was a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of Wang Ba's questions, but he still said:

"They are willing to sacrifice their lives for this world, so why don't they stay?"

"Although their true spirits are preserved, they still cannot leave this world. They are already part of the Xiaocang world."

"As long as Xiao Cangjie is here, they will all be here. Otherwise..."

He looked at Wang Ba, his tone was not threatening at all, only calm:

"I originally just wanted them to help me, but now, I hope you will care about them more."

Wang Ba did not comment, and then asked:

"My master, and Elder Xun, where are they?"

"They... are practicing, and if they are released, I'm afraid they will shake your resolve."

Cang Fuzi shook his head slightly, not hiding his thoughts:
"I just hope to use your power to protect the Xiaocang Realm. With their true spirits, your goals and mine will be the same."

"But if you really leave, I won't stop you, but everything that belongs to the Ogura world must be left behind."

"Including them."

"This is the rule. It belongs to the Xiaocang Realm and the Jiehai Realm."

"I can't disobey, and neither can you."

"And if you are willing to help this world continue to exist and resist the innate gods and demons, you can even become the master of the Xiaocang world. For example, you can decide on matters such as the canonization of the true gods just now."

It looked at Wang Ba with sincere eyes.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He already understood the situation of this little Cangjie spirit, Cang Fuzi.

Most of it was consistent with his speculations during his ruthless time.

There is no extra emotion, it only exists for the continuation of the Ogura world.

only……

Wang Ba shook his head slightly, expressing his pessimistic opinion:

"The Chaos Essence around the Xiaocang Realm has been exhausted. No matter how many plans you make, they will be nothing but illusions and vanish in the blink of an eye."

"As for the innate gods and demons... they will most likely not be weaker than the seventh level. I'm afraid that the Xiaocang Realm cannot withstand such an opponent."

“Even if it holds on, it will just keep falling step by step until it becomes a completely abandoned place.”

"Your idea is too unrealistic."

Cang Fuzi remained silent after hearing this.

How could it not know this?
But this is just the last-ditch effort of a dying person.

at this time.

"But...I do have another idea."

Wang Ba suddenly spoke.

He stared at the warehouse float.

Cang Fuzi was slightly stunned.

It noticed that at this moment, there was a strange light flashing in Wang Ba's eyes that it had never seen before.

Then, in its extremely shocked mood, he slowly told it his solution:
"This method is..."

"Take Xiao Cangjie to a place rich in Chaos Essence..."

"I call it—"

"Wandering, Ogura Kai!" (End of this chapter)
