Longevity, starting from raising chickens

Mount Xumi, outside Miaojue Temple.

Looking at the slowly closing temple gate, Wang Ba felt a complicated feeling in his heart as he felt the sadness left before Kong Chanzi completely disconnected from his mind. However, he quickly pulled himself out of this complicated state of mind and turned to look at Chao Tianjun beside him:
"Master Chao, what are your plans next?"

Chao Tianjun glanced at Miaojue Temple with complicated eyes. The sound of Buddhist chanting was endless in the temple, with a hint of sadness and solemnity.

He shook his head slightly and said:

"After Tianyin passes away, I plan to go outside the world and open up the Silkworm Dragon World again. I may need your help then."

Wang Ba was slightly stunned:
"So urgent?"

The threat from the Supreme Buddha has not yet been eliminated, so it would be a bit hasty to rebuild the Silkworm Dragon Realm at this time.

Chao Tianjun nodded and looked at Miaojue Temple. He seemed to think of the ending of Tianyin Buddha, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes:
"Buddha Tianshang is too powerful, Tianyin's defense is unique, and Master Gai's swordsmanship is unparalleled, but even so, they are still no match for him. I have given up hope... Why not just rebuild the Silkworm Dragon Realm and fulfill my responsibility? The rest is up to fate. You have inherited my legacy, and the inheritance of the Silkworm Dragon Realm is in your hands. If the Silkworm Dragon Realm can be passed on smoothly, it will be a consolation to the predecessors of the Silkworm Dragon Realm. If not... it is also God's will."

Wang Ba was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said:
"Master Chao, please give us your instructions. Taiyi will do his best to help as long as he can."

Upon hearing this, Master Gai, who had remained silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist Chao, our two worlds are originally brothers. The Yuntian Realm is also willing to contribute to the reconstruction of the Silkworm Dragon Realm. If there is anything you need, just let me know."

Upon hearing this, Chao Tianjun was not polite and nodded:

"I do need some help from you. The Silkworm Dragon Realm is just being built. Everything else is easy to do, except that we are short of manpower."

Wang Ba's heart moved, and he thought of a world, and then he said:
"I will arrange for some boys and girls to be brought to this world to pass on the unique skills of the Silkworm Dragon Realm to Master Chao, and also help Master Chao set up the formation to prevent them from being taken advantage of by villains."

Hearing Wang Ba's words, Chao Tianjun showed a look of relief:

"So good."

Upon hearing this, Master Gai also laughed and said:
"I will produce some top-grade elixirs, which can also help the Silkworm Dragon Realm quickly train a group of disciples. By the way, don't forget the item that Daoyou cultivated in my Yuntian Realm when the time comes."

Chao Tianjun smiled and said:
"How could I forget? I haven't thanked Brother Gai for his careful care yet."

Master Gai smiled slightly, and without further delay, he immediately bowed and said:

"You two will stay here. I will return to Yuntian Realm first to arrange many matters. The main thing is that Liaochan will have a breakthrough soon, so he needs someone to look after him."

Hearing this, Chao Tianjun couldn't help but show a hint of envy on his face, and congratulated:
"Junior Brother Bai has made a breakthrough, and you can rest assured to ascend. Congratulations to you."

The Silkworm Dragon Realm no longer exists, and even if it is rebuilt, its foundation will be lost. On the other hand, the Yuntian Realm has successors. How can he not feel sad?
He turned to look at Wang Ba, feeling a little regretful.

If Wang Ba was a homeless person, he would be able to help him with all his strength and let him inherit the legacy of the Silkworm Dragon Realm. However, Wang Ba's situation destined him to be unable to become a complete member of the Silkworm Dragon Realm, so he could only sigh inwardly.

Chao Tianjun immediately bowed and said:

"Fellow Daoist Gai, please go ahead. I have nothing else to do, so I will just stay here and watch Tianyin for now..."

Wang Ba also congratulated:
"Then I wish Brother Bai Dao a successful breakthrough."

Master Gai smiled slightly:
"I will definitely convey your kindness to you two."

After saying that, he turned into a sword light and flew out of the sky.

Chao Tianjun's gaze fell back on Miaojue Temple, his face unable to hide the heaviness in his heart. He then looked at Wang Ba and asked:
"Have you ever mentioned opening the cliff to them?"

Wang Hao nodded:
"I didn't hide it, but Master Gai didn't accept it, and Buddha Tianyin also declined."

Chao Tianjun shook his head and said:
"The survival of Broken Sea Cliff is a matter of great importance to the fate of the four major realms. Master Gai has always put the interests of the Yuntian Realm first, so how could he agree to your request? Tianyin may have some possibilities, but I'm afraid he is powerless..."

Then he sighed softly and shook his head:
"However, nothing in this world can last forever. At least, it is impossible to do so in this third sea. As for the second sea, I don't think it will be as we expect. Otherwise, why would the immortals from the second sea return to the third sea?"

Wang Ba nodded and agreed:

"Everyone has fantasies about the unknown. How can we know that the place where we ascend is the real paradise? Master Chao and I have the same opinion. I am afraid that the second sea may not be a peaceful place either."

He couldn't help but recall his thoughts when he first entered the world of cultivation.

When I was in the Dongsheng Sect, I always thought that changing a sect would allow me to reach the top in one step and live freely and carefree, but in the end I ended up in the Tianmen Sect.

When he was in Tianmen Sect, he felt that being a casual cultivator would be better than working like a slave in the sect. However, after becoming a casual cultivator, he still encountered many hardships and was in danger of losing his life at any time.

At that time, he thought that if he could join a large sect, perhaps he could practice with peace of mind. However, even if he joined the Wanxiang Sect, although he no longer had the sense of crisis of being in danger of losing his life at any time, he would immediately face greater disasters and it was difficult for him to have peace.

At that time, he felt that he was unlucky and always encountered various problems. However, now he thinks that this is just inevitable. As long as he lives forever, he will eventually encounter various difficulties that others will never encounter in their lifetime.

Especially since the situation in the Sea of ​​Boundaries is destined, there is probably no truly worry-free and peaceful place in this world.

He couldn't help but sigh:
"If someone is to be blissful and worry-free, then someone else is bound to suffer. How can worries be eliminated? I'm afraid this is a state that can never be achieved."

Chao Tianjun also nodded, and then a smile appeared on his face. He looked up at the sky, as if he had passed through the boundary membrane and looked at the deepest part of the third world sea. He said excitedly:

"But if I stay here, I will never see the beauty of higher places. I would rather go to the Second World Sea to try my luck than stay here and look at this unchanging world. It is better to be on the road than to stand still."

His words were still full of lofty ambitions.

Wang Ba remained silent upon hearing this.

It’s not that I disagree with what the other person said, but I just felt a rare sense of confusion in my heart.

For him, he actually didn't care where he was going. To be honest, if he could stay near the Broken Sea Cliff and enjoy the infinite Chaos Source, he would be willing to do so. Even if he couldn't ascend, it would be no problem for him to stay here.

So when he heard what Chao Tianjun said, he couldn't help but think in his heart, if the problem of the destination of Xiaocang Realm was finally solved one day, how would he deal with it?

Ascension, or...

He wasn't quite sure and felt a little lost.

This confusion did not last long.

Soon, Xinyuan arranged for them to go to the cave to rest.

Wang Ba and Chao Tianjun did not refuse. They followed Xin Yuan to find a cave at the foot of Mount Xumi and rested there. Of course, they were mostly waiting for news from Tianyin Buddha.

Xinyuan did not leave immediately, but looked at Wang Ba, hesitantly, with worry and expectation, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Friend Wang, may I ask how the inheritance in Xituozhou in Xiaocang Realm is doing now?" Hearing the other party's question, Wang Ba was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his face:
"I forgot to mention that."

"Senior Xinyuan, you must be asking about the Xituozhou Zhuanlun Temple, right? Senior, please be at ease. The inheritance of Zhuanlun Temple is safe and sound in the Xiaocang Realm. Although it is not prosperous, it is stable."

As he spoke, he briefly described the changes in the Ogura world after the other party's Nirvana.

When Xinyuan heard that his reincarnated successor was actually a monkey like Wu Yuanwang, he was not surprised. Instead, he couldn't help but show a bit of shock when he heard that Xiaocangjie had encountered many things while wandering after Wang Ba took over.

"So after my Nirvana, you encountered so many things."

Xinyuan exclaimed:
"After a great disaster, there will be people with great courage and great opportunities. Thank you for protecting my Xituozhou inheritance, so that I will not let my ancestors down."

Wang Ba's expression became more serious after hearing this, and he bowed to the other party and said:
"The help you have given me is beyond words. If it weren't for you, I would not have achieved what I have today. Please accept my respect!"

When Xinyuan heard this, he thought that the other party was of humble character, so he quickly declined and said that he dared not.

Wang Ba saw this but didn't say much.

What he said was not empty talk. He practiced the Dao of All Dharmas. If everything went well, it would be only a matter of time for him to master the many rules.

But if Xinyuan had not taken advantage of the opportunity of merging his body with heaven and earth at the very beginning to open the door to the world of rules for him, he might have had to spend an unknown amount of time and take many detours to reach where he is today.

Precisely because he had witnessed the mysteries of the world of rules from the very beginning, his practice of the Tao went smoothly all the way, and he had successfully mastered the rules before achieving the tribulation, laying a solid foundation for his current strength below the Mahayana level.

So his thanks were by no means polite.

Even though Xinyuan himself might not have understood the rules of the Xiaocang world.

After thinking for a while, Wang Ba waved his sleeves and a monkey figure fell down.

Seeing this, Xin Yuan felt the familiar Buddhist aura from the other person. He was startled at first, but then he couldn't help showing joy on his face. He looked at him carefully, and the more he looked, the happier he became:

“I am truly born with Buddha nature!”

King Wu the Ape scratched his armpits. He felt quite unfamiliar with this teacher. However, at Wang Ba's signal, he still bowed to Xin Yuan.

Seeing this, Xinyuan did not blame him. He smiled and nodded, then touched his sleeves, then looked embarrassed and sighed:
"I don't have anything to give you. Your realm is already higher than mine. It is obviously difficult to reach this realm so quickly just relying on my Buddhist methods. It must be that young friend Wang has worked hard to cultivate you. As your master, I am really ashamed."

Hearing this, King Wu of the Ape hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Xin Yuan again, and said with a slightly awkward tone:

"Thank you, Master."

Hearing this, Xinyuan was greatly pleased. He nodded, then did not linger any longer and said goodbye and left.

Wang Ba did not try to persuade him to stay. At this juncture, he really was not in the mood.

In the cave, he discussed with Chao Tianjun the way of unbridled beasts.

Ten Thousand Beasts Without Rein is not only a method to tame beasts, but also a method to practice the rules. Wang Ba himself is good at the way of all laws, so he can take the practice of Ten Thousand Beasts Without Rein like a fish in water.

When communicating with Chao Tianjun, he was not timid at all. Instead, he answered questions fluently without any hesitation. Sometimes he said something surprising, but it made Chao Tianjun thoughtful and full of insights.

Time passed quietly like this. A few days later, the two people who were exchanging their experiences suddenly stopped, felt something in their hearts, and walked out of the cave together.

Subconsciously, I looked towards the top of Mount Sumeru and Miaojue Temple.

But the temple gate finally opened, and rows of monks slowly walked out, their faces looking sad...

The Buddhist music in the temple is grand and deep, filled with compassion.

Wang Ba heard it clearly. The Buddhist sound contained the words of the "Rebirth Mantra"...

A monk flew out of the temple and landed in front of Wang Ba and Chao Tianjun. He looked haggard. It was none other than Yama, the head of the Eastern Glass Buddhist world.

At this moment, he landed and saluted the two of them with his palm raised, meticulously, and said in a low voice:
"Buddha Master Kong Chanzi has received the initiation and inheritance from Buddha Master Tianyin, and is still in retreat. I am afraid that I have no time to take care of you two, so before retreating, I specially sent Yama Bharata to express my apologies to you two..."

Chao Tianjun sighed and nodded upon hearing this:
"It's understandable that a sudden change has happened. Let him be at ease. Now that I know the news about Tianyin, I will not stay any longer. If there is any need, the four realms are of the same spirit. As long as I am here, you can talk to me."

Yan Po Luo couldn't help but force out a small smile of gratitude on his face, but his somewhat sad face seemed even more bitter. He bowed to Chao Tianjun and said:
"Thank you, Lord Tian. When the Buddha Master Kong Chanzi comes out of retreat in the future, I will invite you to participate in the ceremony and witness the Buddha's succession."

Then he looked at Wang Ba:

"Buddha Master Kong Chanzi specifically asked me to invite Master Taiyi to come."

Wang Ba heard this and nodded:
"Of course, but I don't know when it will be held?"

Yama Pala hesitated:
"It depends on the Buddhist Master Kong Chanzi. It may take several decades, or even more than a hundred years..."

Wang Ba knew what was going on and did not ask any more questions.

He then said goodbye.

Yama Polo tried to persuade him to stay but did not insist.

Now that Buddha Tianyin has passed away, Buddha Kongchanzi has not yet completely digested the things left behind by Buddha Tianyin. However, there is still a Mahayana and late-stage tribulation-crossing cultivator from other realms lingering in the realm. Even though he knows that the four realms have a close relationship, he dare not gamble on this.

The two of them immediately wanted to fly out of the boundary.

But they couldn't help but stop and look up.

But I saw the sky above the top of Mount Xumi and Miaojue Temple was filled with red clouds...

This person seems to be still here.

Chao Tianjun couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but recite in a low voice:
"I came without a trace and I leave without a trace. Coming and going are one and the same. Why ask about the affairs of life? This life is just a dream."

After saying this, his white robe fluttered and he walked away singing.

"Why bother asking about the affairs of life? This life is just a dream..."

Wang Ba recited this poem, sighed softly, and left.

Only Yama was left standing there, looking up at the red clouds in the sky, lost in thought... (End of this chapter)
