Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant - Chapter 1670: 132 Returning to the Sect_2

Chapter 1670: Chapter 132 Returning to the Sect_2

“Looks like it was unnecessary after all.”

“However, these Dao soldiers have made some progress, it seems the previous method of Dao soldiers is no longer sufficient.”

Wang Ba shook his head slightly, putting away the array flag hidden in the void.

Across from him, as the Moro Giant Elephant King was also subdued, a smile seemed to appear on Xin Yuan’s physical face, then gradually faded until it disappeared completely…

Wang Ba solemnly bowed slightly toward the void.

In the distance, Kong Zen, seeing this scene, was slightly surprised in his heart and couldn’t help muttering:

“Goodness! Although this original body has been in Xin Yuan’s physical form for only a hundred years, why does it feel like it’s changed into a different person entirely…”

Noticing the suction also weakened as Xin Yuan’s physical form fully merged with the realm membrane, Kong Zen quickly called to Elephant Forty-Nine, flying toward Wang Ba’s place.

Even before arriving, he could not help but loudly commend:

“Well done! As expected of my original body… Just now I thought you wouldn’t be able to defeat that Black Elephant.”

Upon hearing the voice, Wang Ba turned his head, noticing the Class IV aura emanating from Kong Zen, he frowned slightly:

“Why is it that after so long, you haven’t made any progress?”

The smile on Kong Zen’s face immediately froze, and then he showed displeasure:

“Don’t strike a person’s face when hitting them, is that why you specifically target my little face?”

Wang Ba’s brow furrowed deeper:

“Get yourself together.”

However, Kong Zen cheekily grinned and said:

“If you were normal, how could I not be?”

“The heart is with you, not with me.”

Then, feeling the transformation Wang Ba had undergone, he also furrowed his brows:

“What exactly have you been closing yourself off for more than a hundred years? Why does it seem like your Dao Domain hasn’t much improved?”

Wang Ba casually said:

“Perfecting the Dao Domain is like laying bricks, you only need to layer them up, but what I’ve learned over this hundred years is how to ‘build a house.’”

Kong Zen paused, and then, upon realizing, laughed and cursed:

“Look at you acting so high and mighty, one is Dao, the other is skill, is that correct?”

“Indeed.”

Wang Ba nodded.

“But in the current situation, the great calamity of the world is about to arrive, how is there time for you to waste like this?”

Kong Zen touched his smooth head, puzzled.

Wang Ba, however, remained calm in expression:

“I do have treasures for enlightenment… But after being in seclusion for over a century, there are indeed some matters within the Sect that need to be dealt with.”

“Hmm?”

Kong Zen froze, and with their minds connected, he immediately reacted, his expression changing:

“My son was captured by Wang Xu?! Life or death unknown?!”

Wang Ba quietly watched him.

There was an inexplicable quiet in the air.

Kong Zen quickly realized, coughed guiltily:

“Your son… No, aren’t we basically one entity, why is there a need to differentiate so clearly?”

“Besides, shouldn’t we think about confirming Yi An’s life or death and then deal with that rascal Wang Xu?”

“Wait… Do you think this is a good thing?!”

He looked at Wang Ba with bewilderment.

Wang Ba, his expression calm and serene after emerging from seclusion, though his appearance had not changed, seemed even more ethereal, and responded in a gentle tone:

“How many people in this world do not have their own tribulations? As I see it, Yi An does not face a great life-and-death tribulation. His capture by Wang Xu, although unexpected, seems to be Wang Xu recognizing Yi An’s identity and respecting a bond of incense fire.”

“Yi An has had a smooth journey since childhood, even when he ventured to the West Sea Country in the past, he encountered danger but emerged unscathed. Cultivating under Senior Brother Zhao Feng, who is cold outwardly but warm inside, has had his covert care. Now, this ordeal with Wang Xu may very well be a rare opportunity for cultivation… Only by going through some experiences can one shed their old views and witness a broader horizon.”

“Cultivation is also the cultivation of the heart.”

Kong Zen dug his ears and yawned wearily:

“Why did you become so preachy after a mere seclusion… Well, since Yi An is fine, why not continue cultivating here in peace.”

Even when being retorted by Kong Zen, Wang Ba was not annoyed, merely shook his head:

“Senior Brother Zhao from the Sect sent me a message.”

“I can deduce some things, but I am not all-knowing or omnipotent. Many things are difficult to discern without witnessing them personally. Returning to the Sect is firstly to clarify the changes within the sect to face future crises. Secondly, it’s essential to elevate the Taoist Field, so even if faced with a great calamity, there will be an escape route. Thirdly, Ice Daoist seems to have reached Dao Domain Perfection; if he doesn’t fuse now, there may be no chance before the great calamity.”

Kong Zen counted on his fingers and then suddenly remembered something, frowning:

“I recall the Tribulation Crossing Raft within the sect hasn’t been used since its construction, perhaps it could also serve as another escape route.”

Wang Ba was slightly startled and then nodded approvingly at Kong Zen:

“What you said is indeed a method. Now that the Longevity Sect has gifted us the Undying Divine Tree, this Tribulation Crossing Raft might be useful in the future…however, if it comes to that time, it might already be the end of the road.”

He couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Kong Zen thought for a moment and then said:

“How is Daoist Yuanci now? Why not fuse with him first?”

Wang Ba shook his head slightly:

“I have yet to come up with a way to separate him from the Realm Membrane, so we can only take one step at a time.”

The great calamity is approaching, the calamity aura fills the heavens and earth, and things that could be clearly understood in the past are now gradually becoming blurred.

Unless one experiences it firsthand or is closely related to it, he cannot use the ‘Complete Heaven Number’ to deduce comprehensively now.

Moreover, the situation of Daoist Yuanci seems to have already exceeded the scope accessible to him.

The two talked briefly again, and Wang Ba did not delay. A Divine Pattern, clearer than before, suddenly appeared, and then his figure instantly disappeared before Kong Zen.

Kong Zen touched his smooth head and frowned:

“The situation is really unstable…I must soon transcend these Evil Gods to fulfill my grand wish; otherwise, living every day in fear.”

After speaking, he sat down on the back of Elephant Forty-Nine, casually lifting its canopy-like, smooth ears glistening with gems, and started mumbling:

“My cultivation differs from yours; I am not good at fighting. What I need is to enlighten the world, but as the holy beast protector, you must not slack off! You have to cultivate diligently, ask for anything you need and I will arrange for my true form to deliver it. You know that my true form can’t do anything against me…”

Elephant Forty-Nine’s eyes showed a look of despair.

It really couldn’t do anything!

…

Wanxiang Sect, Chunyang Palace.

“Junior Brother…”

Facing the clear and ethereal figure in front, Zhao Feng was withered in appearance, unable to speak for a moment.

Seeing Zhao Feng’s state, Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel a wave of guilt, and with a gentle tone said:

“It’s been hard on you all these years, Senior Brother.”

With Zhao Feng’s foundation and talents, he should have attempted to transcend the Divine Tribulation long ago.

Yet now he is mired because he has to manage sect affairs.

Because of Wang Yi’an’s issue, Zhao Feng had to not only soothe the sect members, handle numerous tedious tasks but also endure the grief of losing a disciple entrusted by Wang Ba.

Even if Wang Ba himself were in such a position, he admitted he would find it hard to endure.

Zhao Feng only shook his head, sighing:

“Yi An…he stayed behind to help me and Qin Lingxiao fend off the enemy.”

“Qin Lingxiao actually came specifically to rescue Yi An and me but didn’t expect…”

“Qin Lingxiao?”

Upon hearing this name, Wang Ba was slightly startled but quickly reassured:

“Senior Brother, don’t worry too much. Yi’an’s soul lamp isn’t extinguished, he must be fine. I have deduced; Yi’an now remains unharmed…Senior Brother might as well tell me about the present situations within the sect and here in Jin.”

Whether Yi’an’s hair and beard remain intact he doesn’t know, but he indeed doesn’t want Senior Brother to bear such burden anymore.

Hearing Wang Ba’s words, Zhao Feng was also aware they were true, thought for a moment, then said to Wang Ba:

“There are indeed many things in the sect to discuss with you, but it’s not urgent right now. You should first visit Bu Chan; Yi An’s matter…she is equally distressed.”

Wang Ba heard the words in silence, then nodded:

“I’ll come back later.”

With that, he instantly disappeared within Chunyang Palace.

…

Meanwhile.

Fenglin Continent, South Sea Coast.

The sea surface swayed.

A massive-headed, bizarre corpse slowly drifted towards the shore…
