Longevity, starting from raising chickens

"He is the Patriarch Qitian..."

Wang Ba looked at the young man in ochre clothes. Although he had guessed his identity, he still couldn't help but look sideways. For a moment, he felt a little dazed.

In the past, there were three sects and one clan in the Dajin of Fenglinzhou. The Qin clan and Youxian Temple shared the same ancestor, who was 'Master Qinlin'. The one who founded the Wanxiang Sect was Master Chongyuan, and the founder of the Changsheng Sect was the young man in ochre clothes in front of him, Master Qitian.

Because these three ancestors have the relationship of master and apprentice, and brothers to each other, the three sects and one clan in the Xiaocang world are also always close, maintaining a harmony that is rare among other forces in the world.

The three ancestors naturally have high status among the three sects. Even in the Wanxiang Sect, the Patriarch Qitian is equally respected and admired.

Wang Ba had also seen the portrait of Patriarch Qitian and had even burned incense for him in the past. Now, after crossing the distant sea, he saw the living original body with his own eyes in this Yuntian Realm. This feeling was extremely complicated and difficult to describe.

But after all, his faith was firm and he quickly came to his senses and raised his hand to salute.

But I didn't expect that the young man in ochre clothes had already raised his hand:
"Greetings to Master Taiyi, my name is Qitian."

Wang Ba was slightly startled, but saw that the young man in ochre clothes also had surprise in his eyes, but he forced himself to remain calm and smiled.

As he was close by, he naturally heard Hui Yunzi addressing Wang Ba and guessed Wang Ba's identity to some extent. However, in front of the surrounding cultivators, he did not say much but behaved with the courtesy of a peer.

Wang Ba also understood what he meant, smiled, raised his hand and said:
"My name is Taiyi, nice to meet you, Master Qitian."

Then he looked around curiously and asked doubtfully:

"Why don't you see Master Chongyuan?"

Hui Yunzi looked at Master Qitian hesitantly.

The Master Qitian's mind raced, but his face remained calm as he said:

"My brother is seriously injured and cannot come, but Brother Chen Dao personally invited us, which is a blessing for our three sects, so I will come here with the disciples in the sect first."

"Personally invite you?"

Wang Ba turned to look at Chen Zhongqi beside him, and immediately understood what was going on. He raised his hand and thanked him sincerely:

"Thank you, Mr. Daoist Chen."

Chen Zhongqi quickly returned the greeting:
"Brother Taiyi, you don't have to be polite. It's just a small matter. But the banquet has already started. How about we talk about it later?"

Wang Ba hesitated.

Patriarch Qi Tian said first:

"Brother Chen is right. Master Taiyi, please."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba could only nod slightly, and smiled at Patriarch Qitian and Hui Yunzi, saying:
"Don't leave after the party."

Patriarch Qitian and Hui Yunzi both nodded.

At that moment, Wang Ba was forced to sit down at the banquet table surrounded by monks.

Patriarch Qitian and Hui Yunzi stopped where they were, looking at the figure being surrounded by the crowd and gradually leaving, as if it were a dream.

After a long while, Patriarch Qitian turned to look at Hui Yunzi, no longer hiding his disbelief, and said in a voice transmission:
"Is he really the young man you told me about before?"

He shouldn't have lost his composure like this, but the truth that Taiyi Zhenren was actually the deputy leader of the Wanxiang Sect in Xiaocang Realm was so shocking that even though he knew the answer in his heart, he still couldn't help asking again.

Hui Yunzi nodded hesitantly. In order to rescue the Wanxiang Sect of Xiaocang Realm, he had sought out Master Qitian many times before. He had also mentioned the situation of the Changsheng Sect of Xiaocang Realm and the existence of Wang Ba to him, but he could not help but doubt himself.
"It certainly looks like him, and his words and actions are the same, but..."

He couldn't help but put together the Divine Transformation cultivator in his memory and the figure in front of him who was surrounded by many Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, but no matter what, they could not be overlapped.

I was too surprised just now to think of anything, but now countless questions arise in my mind.

If we count on our fingers, it has only been two or three thousand years since he ascended to heaven. How could that young deputy sect leader suddenly transform himself into Taiyi Zhenren, who has won five battles in a row and made all the Buddhas surrender?

Moreover, he had previously thought that the other party had ascended here, but considering some rumors about Taiyi Zhenren that they heard after coming here, it was obviously not the case.

The opponent seemed to come out of nowhere. As soon as he appeared, he killed several Bodhisattvas and Arhats in a row, and shocked the Yuntian Realm.

"But if it wasn't for the ascension, how did you get to the Yuntian Realm?"

I felt confused, surprised, and puzzled.

As thoughts turn and ideas gradually dig deeper, some details gradually surface.

"Yes, the dojo he opened in Xiaocangjie seems to be named 'Taiyi'... So, Taiyi Zhenren should be Wang Ba, but no one knows what happened in the meantime that caused him to undergo such an amazing change."

He had heard of the name of Taiyi Zhenren before, but he didn't think much about it. After all, the sea of ​​​​boundaries is so large that it is too normal to have repeated names. But how could he have imagined that this Taiyi Zhenren was actually the younger generation of the sect that he was familiar with and admired.

Thinking of this, he asked doubtfully:
"Grandmaster, why were you so distant to him just now? Wang Ba respects his teachers and is not someone who disregards etiquette."

Patriarch Qi Tian was slowly digesting the shock brought by this news. Upon hearing this, he shook his head slightly and said:

"I know he respects teachers, otherwise he wouldn't have come over to you when he saw you just now, regardless of other people's eyes... But, he suddenly appeared in the world, but he didn't come to recognize his ancestors right away. There must be a reason. We don't know what he thinks now, and what kind of situation he is in. If we recognize him rashly, it might delay his business, which would be bad."

"On the contrary, if he really wants to, he will recognize us sooner or later. It doesn't matter if he has this little time... Besides, in the way of cultivation, the one who has achieved success comes first. He has already stood at a higher position than me and my senior brother. He can certainly respect his teacher, but I can't be ungrateful and take advantage of my age. It's the most disgusting thing. I will treat him with the courtesy of a peer, and that's fine."

When Hui Yunzi heard this, she was startled at first, then nodded in agreement:
"What the ancestor said is very true."

Although Master Qitian was concentrating on practicing, he was worthy of being the founder of a school of thought. He was thoughtful and had clear ideas. However, he was in a confused state of mind and could not even figure this out.

But even so, he still felt a little unreal.

Compared to Hui Yunzi's dreamlike state, the more experienced Master Qi Tian quickly accepted this fact and transmitted his message:
"He might be like my teacher, the reincarnation of a powerful being, and now he has just returned to his original state. You should quickly ask your sect leader to pass this message back... Forget it, since my senior brother has come out of retreat, I will personally send the message to him."

After saying this, he cast a spell to send the message back.

Hui Yunzi could not help but look again at the figures that had already taken their seats in the distance. Wang Ba was sitting at the head of the guest seats. The head of the Yuntian Sect, who was dressed in a purple robe and had a godly face, was personally accompanying him. They were chatting and laughing happily. The aura of the cultivators sitting on both sides of him also made him terrified. He felt that compared with these people, the Patriarch Qitian next to him seemed dull and lifeless. It was obvious that they were all advanced people in the Tribulation Realm.

But another thing came to mind:

"I don't know what the Wanxiang Sect of Xiaocangjie is like now."

Soon, before Hui Yunzi had time to think, he was arranged to sit at the table with the leader of the Wanxiang Sect. With the opening speech of the Yuntian Sect's leader, praising his achievements and virtues, this grand celebration banquet officially began.

……

During the banquet, the wine glasses were exchanged with each other, and the monks' words of praise, either sincere or just for show, were heard constantly, and from time to time, monks came to toast.

Wang Ba, however, never refused anyone who came.

For monks, as long as they are willing, most spiritual wines will not affect their mind. Therefore, each of them is a master of wine, and when they toast each other, their intention is naturally not about the wine.

By drinking and chatting, we became familiar with each other and developed a superficial friendship. If anything happens in the future, who knows, we may be able to establish a relationship.

When the wine is at its best.

Suddenly a monk suggested that this grand gathering was rare, so it would be better to sit down and discuss the Dao and the mysteries of the Dharma.

This proposal was quickly agreed upon by the majority of people.

Especially the cultivators from the Yuntian Realm. Most of those who come here are the masters, elders, and elite disciples of various sects in the Yuntian Realm. They have different realms, but there are also many humble people. If they can hear a few witty words and advice at such a grand event, it may be of great benefit to them.

Upon hearing this, Master Bai of Yuntian Sect also clapped his hands in agreement, but then frowned and said:
"There are too many people here, and if we discuss the Dao in pairs, it will be too chaotic... How about we choose two people to discuss it in a high position, and then everyone can ask questions. What do you think?"

Master Bai's words were immediately supported by many monks.

At that moment, two Yuntian Sect cultivators in the late fusion stage volunteered themselves and climbed to a high place to discuss the method of upgrading from the fifth to the seventh level of the Dao realm.

Immediately, many Void-Refining and Integration-Treatised cultivators from various sects pricked up their ears around them.

As for the cultivators below the level of Refining Void, although they tried their best to listen, they were still confused.

On the main peak, listening to the two combined cultivators sharing their experiences and insights on the Dao Realm improvement without reservation, all the Tribulation Transcendence cultivators saw something and smiled and said to the purple-robed youth:

"The White Palm Sect is kind and generous, and is also very kind to other sects in the world. This is admirable."

The purple-robed youth looked calm, but was unwilling to say more. He just shook his head slightly and said:

“It’s not really kind.”

Then he changed the topic without leaving a trace, looked at everyone at the table, and smiled slightly:
"It has been rare in the past to have so many Tribulation Realm cultivators gathered here like today. It would be a great blessing if we could discuss the Dao sincerely!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and their hearts beat faster.

In the past, cultivators in the Tribulation Realm were scattered across various sects and realms. Their cultivation depended entirely on the experience left by their elders of previous generations, and they had few opportunities to communicate with cultivators of the same level.

And although the Supreme True Buddha's attack on the Yuntian Realm this time was a great calamity, it also attracted many fellow practitioners in the Tribulation Realm who were rarely seen in the past. With the Yuntian Sect mediating, there was no need to worry too much. It was indeed a rare opportunity to communicate sincerely with fellow practitioners.

At that moment, several monks in the Tribulation Realm were ready to take action.

After the two Yuntian Sect's combined cultivators finished their conversation, two cultivators in the early stages of the tribulation came up to a higher place and started discussing about the comprehension and application of the 'fire element' rules.

Fire is one of the Five Elements. The rules of the Five Elements are the most common type in the Sea of ​​Boundaries. They are also the easiest to comprehend within the realm. Therefore, the rules mastered by many monks who have transcended tribulation are basically within the scope of the Five Elements.

Therefore, although the communication between the two confused the cultivators who were undergoing the tribulation, it caused many cultivators of the same level to nod frequently, as if they had understood something.

Wang Ba was sitting at the table, and couldn't help but listen to the two people's conversation with interest. After listening carefully... he gained nothing.

There was no other reason. What the two of them talked about was the most basic understanding of rules. To him, it was just like two plus three. It was too simple and not even inspiring. He felt a little disappointed.

He glanced over and found that it was not just him. The purple-robed young man next to him had a faint smile on his face, but he obviously didn't pay much attention to it.

But due to the situation, it was not shown obviously.

This is actually normal. After all, cultivators in the early stages of tribulation have a preliminary grasp of the rules. Naturally, they appear extremely immature in front of a cultivator like the purple-robed youth who has completed the tribulation and is only one step away from entering the Mahayana stage and having the hope of ascending to heaven.

I lost interest for a moment.

The two monks who were in the early stage of tribulation transcendence quickly finished their communication, and then others went up one after another.

Wang Ba listened to some of them, and found most of them unremarkable.

Only the discussions of some monks in the middle stage of tribulation could make him look sideways and listen carefully. He did have some thoughts in his mind, but they were all unsystematic.

However, these contents are becoming increasingly distant and difficult to understand for cultivators below the Tribulation Realm.

Soon, two more monks came down from the platform, but perhaps because everyone was digesting the content of their conversation, no one came forward for a while.

Seeing this, the purple-robed youth looked around at everyone at the table and asked with a smile:
"Are there any fellow Taoists willing to go up?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stepped forward.

But at this time, someone suggested:
"This banquet is to celebrate the success of Master Taiyi. Why don't we ask Master Taiyi to come up and give us some pointers?"

When these words were spoken, many people's eyes lit up.

When the purple-robed youth heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he couldn't help but nod, turned to look at Wang Ba, and asked with a smile:
"Fellow Taoist Taiyi, what do you say?"

Wang Ba did not expect that this fire would burn him, but seeing everyone's eyes on him, he hesitated for a moment and did not refuse. The process of discussing the Dao was actually also a process of sorting out his own cultivation. He smiled and said:

"I just hope you won't dislike it."

"How can you dislike it? This is a good deed."

The purple-robed young man laughed.

Wang Ba nodded and smiled, then went up to the platform alone.

His green robe fluttered slightly as he sat on a high place, with an unrestrained demeanor. Even without saying a word, he made the people below quiet down.

Seeing that he was the only one there and no one else came up to discuss the Dao with him, Wang Ba remained calm, smiled and looked at the audience and said:
"If there is no fellow Taoist to discuss this with me, I will have to perform a one-man show on my own."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around them suddenly became lively.

At that moment, a young Nascent Soul cultivator plucked up the courage to ask questions about the Dao Machine Evolution Dao Realm.

"Don't mess around!"

When the elder of the young monk heard this question, he felt as if the sky had fallen, and he quickly lowered his voice and scolded him.

However, Wang Ba stopped him with a smile, and gave him instructions on the details of how the Dao Machine condensed the Dao Domain.

Many people at the main peak seat were a little disappointed at first. They thought that this was a chance for them to get a glimpse of the realm of rules of this Taoist master Taiyi, but they did not expect that Wang Ba would talk about such a trivial matter as the evolution of the Taoist realm from the Taoist mechanism.

However, as they listened, many monks who were undergoing tribulation became a little solemn.

It was because Wang Ba was indeed talking about Daoji and Daoyu at the beginning, but he soon extended it to talk about the relationship between Daoyu and rules.

From the Nascent Soul using the Dao Machine to derive the Dao Realm, to the continuous digging of the Dao Realm, until it touches the core of the bottom layer of the Sea of ​​​​Boundaries - the rules...

From the simple to the complex, layer by layer, not only those monks who were transcending tribulation, but also those Nascent Soul monks with extremely high comprehension could roughly understand some of the profound principles.

Some Nascent Soul and Spiritualization cultivators were already on the verge of success, and at this moment, a flash of spiritual light suddenly appeared in them. They immediately left their seats and went into seclusion.

Ordinary cultivators might not understand, but cultivators in the Tribulation Realm were all horrified.

This is because he can use ordinary words to explain the way of cultivation and even make people who are far from attaining the right level understand it. It can be seen that Taiyi Zhenren's attainments in cultivation have far surpassed those of his fellow practitioners here, and he has reached the transcendent realm of simplifying the complex and being ingenious without being elaborate.

Soon, more and more cultivators could not help but raise questions. First it was the Nascent Soul, then the Spirit Transformation, Refining Void, Fusion, and even Transcendence. What shocked those who were interested was that no matter what realm these people were in, or what kind of Dao or rules they practiced, whether it was the common one like the Dao of the Five Elements, or other extremely rare types.

But when asked a question, this Master Taiyi would almost always answer without thinking, giving extremely brilliant answers.

Even if there were problems that seemed extremely difficult to everyone, Master Taiyi only hesitated for a moment and then quickly gave an effective solution.

Later on, the monks who were undergoing the tribulation could not even get a word in. Each monk who was undergoing the tribulation had his eyes shining, and tried his best to recall the many difficulties he had encountered in his past practice. He could not wait to ask about them all, for fear of missing out and missing out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Some monks who had originally planned to watch the show no longer had the leisure to do so and asked in a low voice with respect on their faces.

Looking at the green-robed figure on the podium, who was calm and composed, citing extensive evidence and calmly answering many difficult questions raised by the monks, the purple-robed young man, who was the host of the banquet but was completely ignored, couldn't help but feel a rare shock in his heart.

Although he already knew that the other party was good at many things, he had never thought that the other party's knowledge was so extensive. However, whenever he asked questions, he seemed to know everything and was proficient in everything.

He considered himself to have a wide range of knowledge, but compared with the knowledge of the Heavenly Emperor in front of him, his knowledge seemed shallow.

I couldn't help but utter a heartfelt exclamation:

"Is the Silkworm Dragon Realm's foundation so profound?"

He naturally didn't know that Wang Ba was born in the Wanfa lineage, and had already reached a realm that the founder of the Wanfa lineage had never reached. He also obtained countless precious inheritances collected by the Profane Realm in the Sea of ​​Chaos, and studied them day and night. When it comes to his vision in inheritance, looking at all the cultivators in the Sea of ​​Chaos, I am afraid that except for Man Daoist, he has the most extensive knowledge.

When dealing with difficulties encountered by fellow monks in their practice, if you compare it with your own practice, you will naturally be able to solve them.

Also sitting at the table, Master Qitian, Hui Yunzi and others sat in different seats according to their realm of cultivation. Even though they had heard of the name of "Master Taiyi", they still felt dazed when they saw this scene.

"This Taiyi Zhenren must be the reincarnation of a powerful being from outside the world, just like our teacher!"

"It's just that his background is much stronger than that of the teacher."

Master Qi Tian became more and more certain of his guess.

Otherwise, how could there be such amazing progress in such a short period of time?

But I had some ideas in my mind.

A rare ripple appeared on Hui Yunzi's indifferent face at this moment, and she even clenched her hands in her sleeves for fear of losing her composure.

Sitting next to him was a middle-aged cultivator, who was none other than the leader of the Wanxiang Sect of the Yuntian Realm. Looking at this scene, he could not hide his admiration and envy in his eyes.

He had something to say in his mind, and he just glanced around. In the end, he found that there was only Hui Yunzi, whom he disliked, beside him. He sighed slightly in his heart. Master Chongyuan cared too much about these cultivators from the lower realm. For such a grand event, some powerful disciples in the sect did not come, but instead sent Hui Yunzi.

After hesitating for a moment, thinking of his master's advice to him, he suppressed the slight displeasure in his heart and whispered:

"This Master Taiyi is a rare master. If you have the chance later, remember to tell him about the difficulties you encountered in your practice. You must seize this opportunity."

After all, he is a member of the Wanxiang Sect. No matter how much he dislikes him, they are still family. As the sect leader, he cannot help but give some advice, especially since the Wanxiang Sect’s headquarters was destroyed before and many Wanxiang Sect members died, and they have not recovered yet.

Although there is support from the Changsheng Sect and the Youxian Temple, the Yuntian Realm is not entirely peaceful. Even though there are abundant resources, the Yuntian Sect occupies the vast majority of them. The remaining sects and factions divide up the small bit that is left, and there are always many disputes. If it weren't for the great enemy, the Supreme True Buddha, who was outside, the Yuntian Sect personally ordered the sects in the realm not to fight, the Wanxiang Sect would have had an even harder time.

It is hard to say when the master will pass away, and the Wanxiang Sect is in urgent need of a monk who can transcend the tribulation.

What surprised him a little was that when Hui Yunzi heard his words, she turned her head slightly with a strange look in her eyes.

The middle-aged monk touched his face subconsciously:

"Why are you looking at me like that... Quick, someone has stopped, go and ask!"

He noticed that the sound from the distant platform paused and seemed to have finally stopped, so he hurriedly urged.

Hui Yunzi hesitated for a moment after hearing this and was about to explain in a low voice.

But from afar, he heard the voice of Master Bai of Yuntian Sect announcing the end of the discussion.

"Is this gone?"

The middle-aged monk heard this and felt very regretful. He looked at Hui Yunzi and sighed deeply:
"Master had high hopes for you, but it's a pity that you didn't seize this opportunity. Sigh, I don't know when our sect will be able to produce another Tribulation Crossing Realm. Let alone someone like Taiyi Zhenren, as long as he is at the Tribulation Crossing Realm, I will have done my Master and Master a honor..."

When Hui Yunzi heard this, he was speechless for a moment, and hesitated to speak:

"Sect Master, Master Taiyi..."

The banquet ended and the monks began to disperse.

Other cultivators who came with the Wanxiang Sect also gathered from various peaks.

At this moment, a figure flew over hurriedly and landed in front of the two of them.

Seeing the Yuntian Sect robe on the cultivator and sensing the profound aura of the other party, the middle-aged cultivator hurriedly bowed:
"What instructions do you have, senior?"

But the monk smiled and said:
"Young friends from the Wanxiang Sect, Master Taiyi invites you."

"Master Taiyi invites you? Invite us?"

The middle-aged monk was stunned. (End of this chapter)
