Longevity, starting from raising chickens

Gululu...

Countless bubbles quickly rose upwards as he went deeper.

The gray water of origin around it became deeper and darker.

Wang Ba never retreated, and drilled straight into the unfathomable abyss deep under the water.

The feeling in my heart becomes clearer and clearer.

Finally, after a period of extreme darkness...

Wow!
It was as if I had passed through a barrier.

The sight suddenly lights up!
In the dazzling pure white light, Wang Ba suddenly opened his eyes!
The cave is spacious and bright, and the formation at the entrance is surging with streams of light.

He was a little dazed, but recognized the cave in an instant.

"It's in the Yinxu Dojo!"

"I'm back?!"

Feeling the surge of the soul, feeling the stirring of the ninth-order Dao realm within the soul... the familiar feeling returned at this moment, but faintly, there seemed to be something different.

It was a very strange and transcendent feeling.

"Master, are you awake?"

Just at this moment, a slightly awkward voice suddenly sounded in Wang Ba's ears.

Wang Ba looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gray-haired monkey standing beside him, looking at him, scratching its ears and cheeks, with a look of surprise on its face.

It was the Monkey King Wu.

Compared to before, the aura of the Ape King Wu has obviously improved a lot. Even without relying on the method of Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled, he has already reached the late eighth level.

Wang Ba couldn't help but ask:
"Why am I here? What happened before?"

King Wu the Ape did not dare to delay and quickly recounted everything that had happened after Wang Ba's true spirit disappeared.

Hearing that Chao Tianjun, the Lord of Jingku and even Gai Zhenren had appeared, and even the Lord of Jingku and Chao Tianjun had tried to find a way to rescue him, they all left helplessly in the end.

Wang Ba couldn't help but feel suspicious:

"Master Chao and the Lord of the Quiet Cave arrived late. I think it was because the Buddha of Heavenly Sorrow had isolated himself from the outside world at that time."

"But why did Tianshang Buddha leave directly at that time?"

He carefully sensed his soul and found that except for the Silkworm Dragon Staff, the other four staffs were still there.

When asked about the situation, King Wu of the Ape also looked confused, as if he didn't know the reason. He only saw that after Lord Tianshang Buddha struck out Wang Ba's true spirit with one palm, he left in a hurry.

After hearing King Wu's description, Wang Ba glanced at King Wu's confused face and had some vague guesses in his mind.

With a flip of his hand, an ancient horn rose silently from his palm and floated slightly.

"The Ruins of Corpses..."

Looking at the horn, recalling the perception when he was in the true spirit, his eyes were slightly focused, but he did not act rashly.

Then he asked about what happened after Chao Tianjun and others left.

After hearing the narration from King Wu Ape, he realized that his physical body was taken to the Ruins of Corpses by King Wu Ape, and was protected by Yin Tianzhi, Cheng Lianzi and others from the Yinxu Dojo, and remained in the Yinxu Dojo.

It can be said that King Wu of the Monkey is smart. Although he is a man of few words on weekdays, he deceived Cheng Lianzi and others with words at the critical moment, making them dare not have any other thoughts.

Cheng Lianzi and others saw that Wang Ba seemed to be half asleep and difficult to approach, and the Earth-Splitting Staff was protecting its master spontaneously, so they did not doubt King Wu of the Ape's statement and respectfully welcomed him to the Yinxu Taoist Temple.

According to the memory of King Wu Ape, more than two hundred years have passed since he was ambushed by Buddha Lord Tianshang.

"Well done."

Wang Ba sincerely praised King Wu Ape, and then asked:

"What's the situation outside now?"

King Wu of the Monkey shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.

Then he thought about it and said that Yin Tianzhi, Cheng Lianzi and others had come here several times before, and seemed a little anxious, but were stopped outside the cave by it.

Wang Ba's mind moved slightly, knowing that something must have happened, otherwise Yin Tianzhi would not easily come to find him if he knew that he was in seclusion.

He pondered for a moment, and then without hesitation, he moved his mind, spread out his consciousness, and soon sensed Yin Tianzhi's breath and transmitted his message.

Soon, a surprised voice was heard from outside:
"Lord of the Ruins!"

Wang Ba waved his sleeves, and the formation of the cave was unlocked. Yin Tianzhi then strode in from the cave entrance.

Seeing Wang Ba, he immediately bowed and said with joy:

"Lord of the Ruins, are you out of seclusion?"

Wang Yan shook his head slightly:
"It will take some time to close down."

"But I heard from King Wu Ape that you were looking for me before? What's the matter?"

Yin Tianzhi hesitated for a moment after hearing this, a trace of shame appeared on his face, and he nodded:
"That's right. Over a hundred years ago, a monster appeared near the ruins of corpses. It was completely black and came and went without a trace. It also kidnapped many monks who were away from home."

"Daoist Cheng Lianzi had gone out before and tried to capture him, but he was easily defeated. If it weren't for the top-grade Dao treasure bestowed by the Ruins Lord, he would have probably lost his life."

"We have no choice but to stay in the ruins of Zhang Shi and rely on the formation to resist this beast. It is difficult to go out."

Wang Ba was slightly surprised when he heard this:
"A black monster? A mythical beast or something else?"

"Have you seen what this monster looks like? Does it have great power?"

Yin Tianzhi shook his head slightly:
"It shouldn't be Mahayana. If it is Mahayana, I'm afraid that Daoist Cheng Lianzi wouldn't be able to come back last time."

Wang Ba thought about it, and under Yin Tianzhi's expectant gaze, he shook his head slightly and said:

"I still need to stay in seclusion for a while, but if this monster comes to bother me again, you can call me and I will take action."

Hearing Wang Ba's words, Yin Tianzhi immediately showed a look of joy:

"Yes."

Wang Ba then asked:
"By the way, do you know what's going on with the Supreme Buddha and the four realms of Broken Sea Cliff?"

Yin Tianzhi shook his head hesitantly, and then added:
"More than a hundred years ago, I heard that a lot of people from the four major realms gathered again."

"We also heard that some nearby realms were conquered by the Supreme Buddha. It is said that the future Buddha's son 'Zhiyuan' is not a Mahayana, but under the dedicated training of Tianshang Buddha, his strength far exceeds that of ordinary great bodhisattvas... We were a little worried for a while, but strangely enough, the people of the Supreme Buddha never came to trouble us again. Maybe they were afraid of you, Lord Xu."

"By the way, Yuntian Realm also invited us, but because you haven't come out of retreat yet, we declined."

"After that, this black-haired monster came to abduct people. The monks who were away from home have disappeared, so they rarely get any news from the outside world."

Wang Ba looked slightly surprised when he heard this:

"The future Buddha is Zhiyuan? Are you sure you heard it right?"

"This... I should have heard it correctly. It was spread for a long time. I heard that he personally killed an eighth-level perfect evil dragon and subdued an eighth-level perfect divine beast. His fame far surpassed that of other Buddhist disciples."

Yin Tianzhi thought about it for a moment, then shook his head.

"It turns out that he is not my junior brother..."

Wang Ba was a little surprised. He hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then said:
"Send some more people to the four realms to inquire about the situation."

“Also, find a way to inform the four major realms. Even if they know that Buddha Lord Tianshang is about to ascend, they must not take action. There is a trick.”

"Hurry up and set off immediately."

Seeing Wang Ba's serious expression, Yin Tianzhi did not dare to neglect him and nodded seriously:
"I'll go there myself!"

Then he said goodbye and left.

However, before leaving, Wang Ba thought for a moment, threw to the other party a top-grade flying Taoist treasure and a token printed with the mark of escape magic, and sent King Wu of the Ape along with him, giving him a few instructions.

Ape King Wu is extremely powerful, having already reached the late eighth level. He is also very skilled in fighting. With his company, even if they encounter the black monster, they should be able to escape safely.

Watching Yin Tianzhi and Wu Yuanwang leave, Wang Ba couldn't help but look thoughtful.

Now he has no way to contact the Lord of Jingku or Chao Tianjun, and can only use the communication treasure to contact Xiahou Tianmo.

But he didn't know the other party's situation at the moment, and contacting him rashly would only put the other party in danger.

Another way was for him to go there himself and use the mark of the magical power of escape that he had left outside before to teleport to the vicinity of Luohun Dang, and then go through some trouble to get to Yuntian Realm.

But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​going out to find out immediately.

Firstly, with his current realm, if he meets Buddha Lord Tianshang again, he will still not be a match for the other party.

Even if he knew the situation outside, it would be meaningless to him.

Secondly, the insights gained from the origin of the sea of ​​​​boundaries have stimulated the growth of the Dao realm, and it can no longer be suppressed.

"Right now, I can only focus on myself."

Feeling the Dao Realm stirring within his soul, Wang Ba did not delay any longer.

Something moved in my heart.

His true spirit body came out directly from his body.

It looked like a glazed jade dragon, and its appearance was exactly the same as the one in the origin of the sea boundary.

Then he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of origin water, only as much as a cup of tea. As soon as this origin water appeared, it immediately dispersed in all directions, as if it wanted to blend into the surrounding environment.

Inside the cave, wherever the water of origin passed, countless spiritual plants quickly sprouted on the flat ground...

"What an amazing fortune!"

Wang Ba admired it sincerely. Although he had not expected such a strange situation, he had already prepared for it.

With a flick of his sleeves, a pink rabbit and a strange beast with a white head and a horse body flew out.

It is the immortals of disaster and plague and wealth, they are all manifestations of rules.

The rank of the Plague Immortal is unknown, but it is not inferior to the early eighth rank, while Fugui has already reached the middle eighth rank.

As soon as the two beasts flew out, they saw the water of origin scattering in the air, and their eyes lit up with extreme impulse and desire.

Wang Ba did not stop them and let the pink rabbit and the strange beast with a white head and a horse body each swallow a mouthful of the water of origin, and directly swallowed one third of the water of origin that Wang Ba brought back.

The water of origin enters the abdomen.

In just a moment, the two strange beasts that manifested the rules seemed to lose control and fell straight down, with many rules quickly appearing on the surface of their bodies.

The rules of the Plague Immortal are very pure, which are "plague poison", while the rules of Fugui are much more complicated, including all the basic rules such as Yin Yang and the Five Elements.

Under the nourishment of this original water, a smooth round membrane suddenly emerged around the bodies of the two strange beasts, surrounding them.

Seeing the remaining water of origin flowing in all directions, Wang Ba's true spirit opened its mouth and sucked, and the scattered water of origin was swallowed back into its stomach.

At the same time, Wang Ba's body was sitting cross-legged again with his eyes slightly closed.

His soul's shadow faintly appeared above his head, which was a black hole.

Above the black hole soul.

The Dao Realm blooms little by little like a lotus.

But it cannot hide the countless rules that are obviously extremely complicated.

Compared with these rules, the outer Dao realm is like flesh and blood that cannot keep up with the growth of tendons and bones.

It is clear that the rules are constantly twisting, weaving, stretching, and extending...

The rules that Wang Ba's true spirit comprehended in the original space of the sea of ​​​​boundaries are now all reflected in this realm of Taoism.

However, it also makes the Dao Realm appear increasingly weak.

Seeing this, Wang Ba's true spirit opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of water of origin, about half of which was left.

This mouthful of water of origin quickly split into two parts. One part of it flowed into his Dao domain. The Dao domain grew and multiplied rapidly, covering countless rules visibly to the naked eye... The other part of the water of origin fell into the black hole soul below.

Under the effect of this water of origin, the soul, like a black hole, rotates rapidly and digests it quickly.

There was a faint roar coming from inside.

"It is indeed the water of origin... No wonder even the Lord of the Boundary Sea gave it as a treasure to the distinguished guest of the Second Boundary Sea."

Wang Ba felt the transformation that had taken place in his soul and Dao realm, and was secretly surprised.

When his true spirit was at the origin of the sea of ​​​​boundaries, the amount of water of origin it swallowed was actually not much, but it had such an amazing effect that he couldn't help but want to use his true spirit to enter the origin of the sea of ​​​​boundaries again and bring back some water of origin.

But because he was afraid of the Lord of the Sea Realm, he was not blinded by these benefits.

The true spirit quickly penetrated into his body.

The true spirit returned to its place, the primordial spirit accelerated the absorption of the water of origin, and the Dao domain outside the rules also kept rotating.

Under the breeding of rules and the nurturing of the water of origin, the Dao Realm grew perfectly along the rules and quickly reached perfection, until it finally reached the perfection of the ninth-order Dao Realm...

The black hole soul also completely digested and absorbed the water of origin.

The Yuanshen and Dao realm simultaneously reached the peak of the middle stage of tribulation!
Even so, the effect of the water of origin is still continuing. The surging force is pushing Wang Ba's soul and Tao domain, like lake water supporting a large ship, to break through to a higher level again.

However, the time that Wang Ba had spent in the middle stage of the tribulation was too short. Even with the help of the water of origin, he was still unable to break through in one breath.

It rose to a high point and then fell back, but then the momentum continued and it consolidated and rose again.

Once, twice...

As Wang Ba continued to try, with the combined power of his soul and the Dao domain rules, the invisible bottleneck was like a dam across the lake. Amidst the wave-like impacts, a crack finally appeared...

……

The Ruins of the Corpses of Zhang, in a deep sea deep in the core.

As if it had sensed something, a consciousness slowly emerged from the deep sea and faintly condensed into a human figure. The body flowed like water waves, and the face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes were exposed.

His gaze penetrated the void and fell on Wang Ba, who was in seclusion and trying to break through in the Yinxu Taoist Temple.

Sensing the other person's condition, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"True spirit...his true spirit is back?"

"I didn't even notice it... Wait! This is..."

Then his eyes flickered, and he saw the rules surging on the bodies of Plague Immortal and Fugui, and also saw the aura leaking out from Wang Ba Daoyu and Yuanshen. A trace of surprise and greed flashed across his eyes:

"This, this is the original power of the sea boundary?! Where did he get it from?!"

"Could it be that he went to the origin of the sea boundary?"

"But, a living person's true spirit is not a human immortal, so how did he enter and exit the origin of the sea of ​​boundaries?"

"And even if it is a human immortal spirit, it can't bring back the water of the origin of the sea of ​​​​boundaries, right?"

Freely entering and exiting the origin of the boundary sea and bringing the water of the origin back into the boundary sea are two completely different concepts.

The former can be achieved in the human fairyland, but the latter will be difficult even for the mysterious fairyland.

The greed in his eyes was almost uncontrollable, but when he thought of the big shot behind the other person, he hesitated, and fear overcame the desire in his heart.

He shook his head, then breathed a sigh of relief:

"Since he's fine, it has nothing to do with me. After all, I saved him once, so I should remember that, right?"

Thinking of this, there was a bit more respect and fear in his eyes when he looked at Wang Ba at this moment.

Then it turned into flowing water and sank into the deep sea...

I don’t know how much time passed.

Inside the cave of the Yinxu Taoist Temple.

Accompanied by a crackling sound.

The next moment, an astonishing dark yellow light shone through the cave and illuminated the entire sky of the Taoist temple.

It even faintly penetrated the Yinxu Dojo, penetrated the chaotic source outside the Dojo, and illuminated the void...

same moment.

On the surface of the ruins of Zhang Corpses, the light of the formation flows.

Countless monks from the Ruins of Corpses were on full alert, staring fearfully outside the formation, with expressions of tension and fear on their faces.

At this moment, a dark yellow light shone out from the mouth. The monks felt the strange phenomenon and looked over with strange eyes:

"That is how the matter?"

"The direction of the Yinxu Dojo... Is this the birthplace of the Immortal Palace?"

"Or is there a treasure being born?"

Only Cheng Lianzi and others showed surprise on their faces:
"This direction... Could it be that the Ruins Lord has made a breakthrough?"

But before Cheng Lianzi could feel happy, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

Turning around suddenly.

However, it was discovered that the huge formation covering the surface of the ruins of Zhang's corpses had actually undergone a slight deformation!

Then a huge black shadow was seen passing by outside, and at the same time, a claw covered with black hair slammed into the edge of the formation and kidnapped a cultivator with one claw!
All the monks changed color!
"The evil creature is coming again!"

"careful!"

“Shoot now!”

For a moment, screams and the sound of spells penetrating the formation and bombarding the black shadow were intertwined.

However, the black shadow avoided these spells at an incredibly fast speed and retreated safely.

"Beast!"

Cheng Lianzi glared with anger and shouted loudly in shock and anger.

However, standing inside the formation, he did not dare to leave without permission.

He had suffered great losses at the hands of this vicious creature before, so he dared not put himself in danger easily.

All they could do was watch the black shadow fly away quickly, and then run towards a farther distance at a leisurely pace, without any fear on their face.

At this moment, a large group of green light suddenly flew out from the cave below, quickly passing by Cheng Lianzi and other monks, and flew straight towards the black shadow! (End of this chapter)
