Longevity, starting from raising chickens

“When you meet the Second Ancestor later, Fellow Daoist Taiyi will just tell him what happened… This time, Lingyuan Mansion and Huankong Realm have lost two tribulation-crossing monks at once. I’m afraid it will cause quite a stir later. We need to understand it clearly so that we can have a response. I hope you can understand.”

On the flying boat, Yin Penglai said with a relaxed look.

Wang Ba's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly:
"It's only right and it's our duty."

Seeing Wang Ba's cooperation, Yin Penglai also nodded with a smile, and then changed the subject:
"As for the Wan family of the Shefu..."

His face couldn't help but become a little more stern:
"It seems that Wankong City is really tired of living... Don't worry, my fellow Daoist, my Yin clan will flatten the She Palace sooner or later and avenge you!"

Wang Ba heard something else and asked curiously:
"How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? With the strength of the Yin family, how can I tolerate the Wan family to bully others in this Tongue Palace?"

Yin Penglai hesitated, glanced at Wang Ba, and seemed to have considered it for a while. Finally, he said:

"From what I've heard from you, I think you were once a powerful person... I won't hide it from you, the Wan family is not a problem. The problem is that there are nearly 30 tribulation-crossing forces behind the Wan family. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Wang Ba was slightly stunned, and instantly understood what the other party meant.

The wealth at the entrance and exit of the Ruins of Corpses and the poverty inside the ruins naturally divided the nearly forty tribulation-crossing forces in the Ruins of Corpses into three major camps.

One is the eleven forces represented by the Baiqu Yin family that control the entrances and exits of the Zhangshi Ruins.

One is like the Wan family, who are unable to fight for the entrance and exit and can only find a place to stay in the ruins and survive by various means. They are a second-rate force that can survive the tribulation.

The last one, of course, is those independent cultivators who don’t have any foundation at all.

The independent cultivators were scattered and had different mindsets, so they could not accomplish anything, and that was why they were excluded first.

Compared with forces like the Baiqu Yin family, the Lingyuan Mansion, and the Huankong Realm, a second-rate tribulation-crossing force like the Wan family has no chance of winning at all, and may be destroyed by the other side at any time. In order to protect themselves, they have only one choice, which is to form an alliance with other forces in similar situations to fight against these eleven families.

Perhaps the Wan family alone, with only one cultivator in Wankong City who was undergoing tribulation, was indeed nothing in front of the Baiqu Yin family.

But when nearly thirty second-rate tribulation-crossing forces come together, they become an extremely astonishing force.

In the face of this force, no matter who you are, you must be careful and not act rashly.

This formed a delicate balance, allowing the entire structure of the Ruins of Corpses to continue for a long time.

This situation is very similar to the situation within the sea of ​​chaos, between the three realms and the forces outside the realm.

After understanding this, Wang Ba suddenly had a clear understanding of the entire situation of the Ruins of Corpses.

Suddenly, a thought came to my mind:
“If we form alliances and subdue these forces one by one, the more than one hundred monks who have transcended the tribulation in the Ruins of Corpses may have a chance to break through the Immortal Pass with this power…”

But soon he shook his head slightly and put an end to this delusion.

The situation in the Ruins of Corpses has lasted for so long, and there must have been many talented people among them, but none of them have been able to change it. This shows how deeply involved it is. To break it, one must either have a strong enough strength to break the impasse, or have the right time, place, and people. To subdue these cultivators simply by relying on political schemes, even if this is possible, it will probably take an incalculable amount of time.

With this much time, he might have already pushed his realm to an extremely high level, and then it would be faster for him to convince people with reason.

"However, we can pay more attention to the Ruins of Corpses."

I secretly kept this thought in mind.

The time spent on going back was much less than that on going there. While talking, Wang Ba had already faintly sensed several distinct auras coming from outside, like candlelight in the dark.

He was not unfamiliar with these auras. He had sensed them when he entered the Yinxu Dojo.

His heart froze slightly, and he couldn't help but turn to look at Yin Penglai, with doubt in his eyes:
"Fellow Daoist, these few..."

"I didn't expect that several ancestors would come."

Yin Penglai seemed a little surprised, and then he realized something:

"I think he heard the news that you were attacked, and he came to check on you out of concern..."

Wang Ba's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, but he didn't quite believe it in his heart.

When he first entered the Yinxu Taoist Temple, these people had not shown their faces. It didn't make sense for them to come out to greet him in person just because he was attacked.

"Could it be because I killed those two Tribulation-crossing monks?"

My mind was racing.

The reason why he did not tell Yin the truth of the matter was that he came alone and prepared for the worst in everything, and he did not want to reveal his cards easily.

Secondly, it was what the female cultivator from the Fantasy Realm had said before that reminded him.

An ordinary cultivator who is undergoing tribulation may indeed win the Yin family's high regard, but for someone like him who can kill a cultivator who is undergoing tribulation in the fusion realm, I am afraid that he will not only be respected, but also feared.

If they were just wary, it would be fine. But once there was external pressure, they might even be the first to hand him over to quell the unrest...

This is not because he judges others by his own mean character, but because he has never hesitated to speculate on human nature with the greatest malice.

It’s just that the Yin family, especially Yin Penglai, were quite nice to him, and he didn’t want to hurt people’s hearts easily because of his own problems.

So after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded silently.

Seeing Wang Ba nod, Yin Penglai, who had been keeping an eye on him, breathed a sigh of relief.

A smile appeared on his face:

"Let's go, don't keep them waiting."

The two men immediately walked out of the flying boat, and Wang Ba immediately saw the "ferry" where they had left at the beginning. At this moment, it was filled with light mist, and seven or eight figures were vaguely standing there.

The leader had sparse grey hair, a plump face and body, and was in good spirits, looking like a wealthy man. However, a faint scar above his lip gave him a murderous aura.

Across the dark void, the old man looked at Wang Ba from afar, then his mouth slightly widened, revealing a seemingly happy smile, and said in a distant voice:
"Little friend Tai."

"It's the Great Ancestor! The Great Ancestor actually came in person!"

Yin Penglai didn't know whether he hadn't sensed it before or was pretending to be surprised, and said in surprise.

The great ancestor of the Yin family, Yin Tianzhi?

Wang Ba looked at the scene in front of him. Although the other party seemed to have good intentions, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart.

However, the change in his heart did not show on his face. He was surprised, as if he was flattered. He quickly stepped forward and saluted:

"Junior Taiyi, greetings to Elder Ancestor Yin..."

Although he is a worshiper, he is not a member of the Yin clan after all, so there is no need to call him the great ancestor.

Then he bowed to the other monks who were transcending tribulation behind him one by one.

Yin Penglai also hurriedly saluted.

Yin Tianzhi waved at Yin Penglai, then smiled and looked at Wang Ba, carefully examining him from head to toe, and could not help but praise him:

"Good! Good! He is indeed a rare genius that is rarely seen in the Ruins of Corpses for a thousand years, no, ten thousand years... I heard from them that you escaped from Fan Yuxian and Huanling Saint. You have accomplished this with your combined body, which is enough to be proud of!"

The several Yin family monks who were undergoing tribulation behind Yin Tianzhi also looked at Wang Ba with approval in their eyes.

Wang Ba quickly said a few humble words.

Yin Tianzhi smiled and raised his hand to stop his self-deprecating words, and said with a smile:
"My friend, there is no need to be modest. If I were you, I would not be able to do what you have done...Do you have a Taoist partner? I have a little girl who is only over a thousand years old now. She has the potential to reach the realm of Void Refining. There is also a 40% to 50% chance that she will achieve the realm of Crossing Tribulation in the future. She can be a good match for you. We can hope to achieve immortality together in the future."

The topic was changed very abruptly, but Wang Ba was stunned.

He didn't expect that at his age, he would still encounter such a marriage.

But then it dawned on me.

Compared with the relationship of offering sacrifices, the Yin family obviously believed more in the stability brought by bloodline and marriage.

And why is the other party so eager to bind himself to Yin's big ship?
The moment this question arose in his mind, he had the answer.

"Could it be that they saw something?"

Wang Ba thought quickly in his mind.

Just feeling the expectation in the other person's eyes, Wang Ba still had to bite the bullet and said apologetically:

"Please forgive me, Grandmaster. Taiyi already has a Taoist partner, and he has sworn a Taoist oath that he will be with her for the rest of his life. I dare not break it."

As soon as the words fell, there was silence.

Wang Ba felt that the harmonious and relaxed atmosphere in front of him suddenly froze!

The smiles on Yin Penglai and others' faces froze, and the expressions in their eyes became complicated.

The smile on Yin Tianzhi's face gradually disappeared.

It seemed as if the sky was clear just now, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds covered the city, and it was gloomy and terrifying!
He stared at Wang Ba coldly, with an indescribable sense of oppression in his eyes.

The voice was low, with only one word, but it was like the vibration of thunder, rolling in:

"Ok?"

At this moment, Wang Ba seemed to have the illusion that he was facing the Bodhisattva Zhikong in the Buddhist kingdom.

Irresistible and powerless to resist!

My heart was shocked!
The gap between the early stage of the tribulation and the middle stage of the tribulation is so huge? !

He killed Fan Yuxian and Saint Huan Ling in one breath, and he was not without a trace of pride in his heart. But when he felt Yin Tianzhi's undisguised aura at this moment, he suddenly realized that his understanding of the Tribulation Realm was obviously too scarce.

My heart was racing, I gritted my teeth and said:

"Ancestor, Taiyi's words are not false!"

wow——

In an instant, it was as if the dark clouds converged, the thunder dissipated, and the sky was clear again...

Yin Tianzhi's laughter suddenly came:

"Haha, it's just a joke, don't take it to heart... But what do you think of my Yin family?"

Wang Ba's heart suddenly relaxed and he couldn't help but look at the other party.

But the other person had a smile on his face and a kind expression, as if the scene just now had never happened.

He was a little confused about the other party's thoughts, but when he heard the other party's question, he still said seriously:
"The Baiqu Yin family crossed the sea and settled in this ruins of corpses. They started from humble beginnings and worked hard to overcome difficulties. This is naturally admirable. I am also honored to be able to serve the Yin family."

He spoke such flattering words without any burden.

Yin Tianzhi smiled even more when he heard this, but shook his head and said:

"My dear friend, you should know that this is not what I am talking about... Do you think that I, Yin Shi, can be entrusted with this?"

Wang Ba was stunned, realizing the deeper meaning in the other party's words. This time he did not speak immediately, but frowned and thought seriously.

Yin Tianzhi did not urge him, but waited quietly and leisurely, giving him enough face.

This attitude made Yin Penglai and the others guess something vaguely. They looked at each other and saw surprise and joy in each other's eyes.

After Wang Ba pondered for a while, he came back to his senses, looked at Yin Tianzhi, and said seriously:
"From what I have seen so far, it is worthy of trust."

Yin Tianzhi looked pleased, and then quickly asked:
"How much do you trust?"

Wang Ba thought about it seriously for a while and said:

"Seventy percent."

"Seventy percent is not a small amount, but it's not enough."

Yin Tianzhi seemed satisfied with this answer, but also seemed not quite satisfied.

"Does the ancestor want 90%?"

Wang Ba asked back.

Everyone has selfish desires, so it is impossible to be 100% successful.

Yin Tianzhi shook his head and said:
"No, 90% is too much. Even among the Yin family, how many people can achieve 90%?"

"Eighty percent, how about eighty percent?"

Wang Ba hesitated when he heard this.

Yin Tianzhi smiled and said:
"Listen to what he says and watch what he does. We have a long way to go. You don't have to be suspicious. Just remember, as long as you are willing to trust our Yin family, we will never let you down."

Wang Ba heard the deep meaning in the other party's words, and his heart froze. Then he raised his hand and saluted solemnly:
"Thank you for your understanding, Taiyi will keep it in mind, but I beg you not to let me down."

"well!"

Yin Tianzhi saw that Wang Ba understood everything immediately, and nodded with relief. He shifted his gaze slightly and looked at Yin Penglai:
"Penglai, you can take your friends and get busy."

Yin Penglai quickly responded.

Then he smiled and said to Wang Ba: "I will also ask about the sneak attack on you by Lingyuan Mansion and Huankong Realm. You should practice with peace of mind and enter the stage of transcendence as soon as possible."

He emphasized the word "overcome the tribulation".

Wang Ba raised his hand and saluted again.

Yin Penglai then took Wang Ba and flew straight into the abyss below.

Watching the two figures disappear.

Yin Tianzhi still stood quietly at the "ferry", with a thoughtful look on his face.

The Second Ancestor behind him couldn't help but ask:
"Great Ancestor, could it be that this person really killed Fan Yuxian and Saint Huanling?"

Yin Tianzhi came back to his senses after hearing this and shook his head decisively:

"do not know."

"No, I don't know?"

The Second Ancestor and several other Yin clan cultivators who were transcending the tribulation could not help but be a little stunned.

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, so who knows... But judging from the looks of it, it's pretty close."

Yin Tianzhi touched his sparse gray beard and said thoughtfully:

"The news was spread by the Wan family. Unless this is a trap set by the Wan family, using Taiyi as an excuse to set an ambush and deliberately sow discord between Lingyuan Mansion, Huankong Realm and us...but Fan Yuxian and Huanling Saint are both dead. Lingyuan Mansion and Huankong Realm will only be more suspicious of the Wan family instead of a combined cultivator. Such an act is tantamount to playing with fire, so the possibility of the Wan family setting up a trap is very small."

"And according to Penglai, this Taiyi can barely deal with Penglai with the rules he has comprehended. If he has some special means, it may not be impossible. All in all, he is indeed the most likely."

"This person is so secretive, could he be harboring evil intentions towards us? Should we let Penglai test him again to see what his real intentions are?"

The Second Patriarch couldn't help but ask.

Yin Tianzhi shook his head again:

"No need. If he really agreed to marry my daughter, I would not be sure. But he chose to refuse. Even though I threatened him with force, he still did not change his mind. This made me believe that although he seemed smooth on the surface, he was actually proud and a true man of the Tao. Such a person has no grudges against my Yin family and will never have any ulterior motives. As long as he has no ulterior motives, why should I care so much?"

"Who doesn't have some secrets? You're so controlling, and that's just driving people away. Remember, when employing people, you can't be too thorough. There are no fish in clear water, and there are no followers if you are too thorough. It's just like that."

The Second Ancestor suddenly understood, and then could not help showing surprise:

"This Taiyi Zhenren was able to kill Fan Yuxian and Saint Huanling at the level of fusion. If he reaches the level of transcending tribulation, wouldn't he be invincible in the early stage of transcending tribulation? Then, there would be no need to worry about Lingyuan Mansion and Huankong Realm!"

"Confused!"

Yin Tianzhi couldn't help but scolded:

"Can't you be patient?"

"When he reaches the middle or even late stage of the Tribulation, are you still afraid that he won't be able to take over the Spiritual Source Mansion and the Illusionary Realm?"

"However, even if we have this sharp sword, it will be troublesome if there is no one to wield it... You all should practice well and don't slack off. If you can reach the middle stage of the Tribulation as soon as possible, why would you need to pin your hopes on others?"

Upon hearing this, the Second Patriarch and others couldn't help but reveal a look of displeasure.

Cultivation is not that easy...

……

Tongue Palace, Ten Thousand Families.

boom!
The magnificent palace quickly collapsed, and countless figures fled screaming.

The second young master Wan Haisheng looked miserable.

Several figures with terrifying auras gathered in the sky, looking down below with cold eyes.

"Wankong City, you are the one who spread the news. Tell me, why did Yuxian die while chasing a combined cultivator?"

"The Saint of my Fantasy World also perished because of this! Wankong City, come out!"

Two voices echoed above the Wan family.

But outside the Wan family, no one noticed.

In the ruins of the Wan family.

The figure of an old man in black flew into the air.

His eyes swept over the tragically dead monk of the Wan Family. His face suppressed his grief and anger, but he still managed to force a smile and bowed:
"Everyone, I am just passing on a message. I did find out that the Yin family's worshiper was able to control the rules. After discovering this, I immediately passed it on to Lingyuan Mansion and Huankong Realm. I had good intentions. Who else could..."

"Good intentions? You just want us three families to fight so you can profit from it, right?"

"Wankongcheng, don't waste time. If you can't explain it clearly today, our two families will join forces to massacre everyone in this Shefu!"

Faced with Wankong City's explanation, the cultivators from Lingyuan Mansion and Huankong Realm were not so easily fooled.

Wan Kongcheng's mind raced, and then he nodded suddenly:

"That's right, that's exactly what you guys are thinking. If Lingyuan Mansion and Huankong Realm can weaken the Yin family, my Wan family will naturally be able to get more benefits, and maybe we can also intercept some Chaos Essence... But now, two fellows from Lingyuan Mansion and Huankong Realm have died, and Baiqu Yin family has not revealed any news. Think about it, everyone, if I do this, am I not shooting myself in the foot?"

"What do you want to say?"

A tribulation-receiving monk from Lingyuan Mansion couldn't help but frown.

Wan Kongcheng took a deep breath, his eyes flickered and he said:

"What I want to say is, could it be that the people of the Baiqu Yin Clan took advantage of the situation and ambushed and killed Daoist Fellow Yuxian and Fairy Huanling?"

"It's very close to the Yinxu Dojo. Who else could it be except the Yin family's people?"

“They were able to kill two cultivators in the early stage of the Tribulation Crossing in such a short period of time, leaving them no time to escape. Perhaps the ancestor Yin had to personally take part in the battle… After killing two cultivators who had crossed the Tribulation Crossing, the Yin Clan might soon have another cultivator who had crossed the Tribulation Crossing. With one gaining and the other losing, the Yin Clan has a lot more advantages…”

Upon hearing Wankong City's words, the cultivators from Lingyuan Mansion and Huankong Realm couldn't help but be shocked.

They were already wary of the Baiqu Yin family, so when they heard that the Yin family might have another cultivator who was undergoing tribulation, they immediately sent people to intercept and kill them. Now Wankong Cheng's analysis actually coincides with their own thoughts.

“If I were you, I would not care about anything else and insist that it was that combined worshiper who killed Fairy Yu and Fairy Huan Ling. If they don’t hand it over, I will take the opportunity to unite other families to attack together, at least to seriously damage the vitality of the Yin family. On the contrary, if they really hand over the combined worshiper, they can kill a tribulation cultivator in advance and make the Yin family alienated, making it difficult for the independent cultivators to work for them. Kill two birds with one stone…”

Wankongcheng's voice was cold.

Upon hearing this, several people couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw a touch of heartbeat in each other's eyes.

……

same moment.

The dark abyss seemed to have no bottom.

Wang Ba and Yin Penglai continued to fall straight down.

"The core of the Ruins of Corpses is almost everywhere in the Ruins. Normal cultivators only need to follow a specific method and touch a location in the Ruins of Corpses at random to try to communicate with the core. After being recognized by it, they can become a person in the Ruins and practice in it just like in the realm. Of course, it is said that the deeper you go, the better the communication effect. In fact, I don't think it has much impact. It will usually succeed anyway."

Yin Penglai introduced it in detail, and then said:
"To put it inappropriately, the core of this corpse ruins is like the realm spirit of the realm."

Wang Ba was slightly surprised when he heard this:
"World Spirit? Could it be that this ruins of corpses also has consciousness?"

"That's not quite clear."

Yin Penglai shook his head and said:

"Some people have doubted it, but no one has ever seen the consciousness of Zhang Shizhixu. Over time, people have assumed that it doesn't exist."

Wang Ba suddenly realized, then hesitated for a moment, and asked curiously:
"So, has anyone ever agreed to something and then regretted it?"

"Repent?"

Yin Penglai nodded and said:

"Of course there are, but once you are recognized by the Ruins of Corpses, you will also be influenced by the rules here. If you walk in the sea of ​​boundaries, it will not have any impact. But if you go to other realms, you will be like a demon from outer space and will not be accepted. There is not much point in regretting it."

Wang Ba remained silent upon hearing this.

Those who come here are homeless cultivators who cannot go to other realms. It is naturally meaningless to regret it.

But he was different.

However, thinking that he could also use wealth to get rid of the rules that had stained him, he felt a little relieved.

If worst comes to worst, he can still go back to the Sea of ​​Chaos and use the triple suffering to help himself wash away the rules.

Soon, Yin Penglai smiled and said:
"arrive."

The two paused slightly.

Wang Ba also saw the bottom of the abyss below. There seemed to be gurgling water under the rugged rock walls.

"This is the secret method of communicating with the core. Fellow Daoist, you can give it a try."

Yin Penglai handed a secret technique to Wang Ba with a relaxed look.

The secret method was extremely simple. Wang Ba mastered it completely after just one glance.

He then gently landed and raised his hand to press a piece of stone wall.

Then he started to use the secret method.

The next moment, Wang Ba felt a flash before his eyes.

My consciousness seemed to sink into a vast deep ocean all of a sudden.

The 'waves' around him pushed him forward.

"Is this the core of the Ruins of Corpses?"

"According to Fellow Daoist Yin, as long as we stay in this core for a while, completely adapt to the waves here, and become a part of it, we will be recognized..."

Thinking in his heart, he waited quietly.

However, in the next moment, the "waves" around him suddenly surged up, and then he immediately felt a series of rapids washing over him, lifting him up, and then pushing him impatiently... straight out of the sea!

It seemed as if she didn't want him to stay even for a moment!

"What's going on!?"

Wang Ba was startled, and the next moment, before he could understand what was going on, he suddenly regained consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Yin Penglai opposite him with a look of shock and paleness on his face.

"Why was I pushed out?"

Wang Ba frowned slightly. He was originally reluctant, but now he felt unwilling. He stretched out his hand and pressed on the stone wall again.

Consciousness sinks into it...

wow——

Almost as soon as he sank, a 'torrent' pushed his consciousness out!
continue!

wow——

This time, he couldn't even sink his consciousness into it!

It was as if someone had blocked his way in at the core, as if they were afraid that he would go in again.

"What's happening here?!"

Wang Ba couldn't help but look at Yin Penglai in confusion, but saw that Yin Penglai had a complicated expression, disappointed, unwilling, and slightly distraught.

"Perhaps, perhaps he has not yet adapted. How about we go back and ask the Great Ancestor?"

Yin Penglai spoke hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba glanced at the stone walls around him, and his heart felt a little heavier.

Yin Penglai's expression can already explain some things.

But he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart and nodded.

The two men then disappeared.

And after the two disappeared.

Deep in the core of the ruins of corpses.

In the vast ocean, a thought heaved a sigh of relief:

"Finally he left... How can my small temple accommodate such a great god..." (End of this chapter)
