Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

“Hurry up, hurry up!”

"Don't waste your time!"

"Everyone hurry up... I'll say it again! The Lord of the Ruins has ordered that from today onwards, all cultivators must be recorded in the register. Anyone who dares to conceal anything will be treated as a demon monk and executed immediately!"

"In addition, anyone who has reached the fusion realm can go to the Baiqu Yin family's dojo. The master of the place will give lectures from time to time to point out the direction of the tribulation realm for everyone..."

In the ruins of Zhang Shi.

A crowded, dark cliff dotted with holes.

The aura of cultivators permeates every cave, and at the cave entrance, one can faintly see the cautious and vigilant figures of cultivators.

The auras of these monks vary.

The lower the realm, the closer to the bottom of the cliff one is.

At the top of the cliff, there are three caves in parallel. At this moment, a figure flew out of each cave, with faces showing caution, vigilance, solemnity, worry and flattery...

In the void outside the cliff, several figures in similar attire were shouting loudly, announcing the recent dramatic changes that had taken place in the ruins.

Among the three figures that flew out of the highest cave, a casual cultivator in the middle who was at the early stage of fusion flew over carefully, bowed to each of them, and then forced a smile and said:

"My fellow disciples of Jinshui Po, I have been in seclusion recently and don't know much about the changes in the ruins. However, I didn't know that the Baiqu Yin family has been subdued by the Pond Master, and even the Zhangshi Ruins have been unified by the Pond Master. This is really a cause for celebration."

Upon hearing this, the monks all frowned, and the leader snorted coldly:

"What nonsense are you talking about! Baiqu Yinshi... is a fellow believer with us. There is no such thing as surrender or not. The owner of Bo has never done such a thing. Stop talking nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, the monk's heart trembled and he quickly apologized.

Then he asked carefully:

"Since he is not the one who unified the ruins of Zhang Shi, then who is the owner of this ruins..."

"Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about!"

The leading monk scolded him, but seeing that this person's realm and cultivation were decent, he hesitated for a moment, then explained in a low voice:

"The Lord of the Ruins is the real person who shined in the Yuntian Realm War hundreds of years ago..."

Lian Bozhu had to be extremely respectful in front of the real person and did not dare to be rude in the slightest. He was aware of his humble status and naturally did not dare to mention the other person's name lightly.

The combined cultivator was confused:

"The battle in the Cloud Realm? That real person? Who?"

Seeing the confused look in the eyes of the wandering cultivator, the cultivator from Jinshuipo frowned slightly and then said no more.

Compared to the ten major forces guarding the eleven acupoints in the Ruins of Corpses, these independent cultivators are obviously much less informed. They may not even know that the Supreme Buddha and Yuntian Realm had a great battle hundreds of years ago, and naturally they don't know how powerful that immortal is.

There is no point in saying more, and I am too lazy to bother about it, so I said coldly:

"Don't worry too much. Just know that from today on, the ruins of corpses will be unified. The master of the ruins is called Taiyi. He has pity on you filthy people and wants to preach to you personally... When you go to the Yinxu Taoist temple, don't be impolite and bring shame to Jinshuipo!"

"Especially don't be outdone by the people from the Laowen faction!"

"If I knew that you were not as good as the people sent by Lao Wen, humph..."

With a cold snort, the casual cultivator in the early stage of fusion couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't dare to say much and responded quickly.

This scene also happened simultaneously in many places within the Ruins of Corpses.

The ten major forces guarding the key points are not just defending their own piece of land. In fact, almost every force has various layouts in the depths of the Ruins of Corpses.

There is a shortage of resources in the ruins, but what is most lacking is independent cultivators.

These independent cultivators, whether used for alchemy or as labor... are all good resources.

Even the Baiqu Yin clan was not immune to this and would regularly abduct a group of cultivators from the village and use them for hard labor.

In the past, such a barrier of interests could not be easily shaken.

The ten major forces, together with the many small forces in the ruins that have monks in the Tribulation Realm, are now busy building these facilities to resist the invasion of the future Supreme Buddha.

All kinds of formations, traps, killing moves, spells...everything is used to the extreme.

The power may not be very strong, but it is disgusting enough.

Although the strength of the independent cultivators is far inferior to that of the great sects, their desire for survival and adaptability, like those of weeds, will always sparkle with some surprises under their infinite wisdom...

Everything is progressing at a rapid pace.

And deep in the core of the ruins, no one has ever noticed.

In the vast ocean, a consciousness slowly woke up from its deep sleep, silently watching the bustle and changes in and outside the ruins. Then, its mind moved slightly and fell on a green-robed figure in a cave in the ruins, frowning slightly:

"Why is this person here again..."

"You're not going to fall in love with this dilapidated temple of mine, are you?"

"Should I go and tell him?"

I was slightly moved, but then I seemed to think of something and hesitated:

"This guy is not a pushover. These two took over this world sea... Well, let's just wait and see!"

While thinking, he suddenly realized that a vague thought was slowly squeezing into the "ocean" where "it" existed.

As if sensing something.

In an instant, the ocean began to surge violently and silently!

"Um?"

The consciousness was slightly surprised, and its eyes immediately fell on the figure in green robe.

When he saw the 'horn' in his hand, he was startled:

"How did this thing fall into his hands?!"

His heart skipped a beat, and immediately changes occurred. Then the surging ocean suddenly froze, as if time had stopped.

The thought that tried to squeeze in was squeezed out again at this moment.

It did not dare to linger, fearing that it would be discovered. Like a frightened mouse, it immediately and silently sank into the rolling waves, never to be seen again...

At the same time.

In the cave of Baiqu Yin.

Wang Ba frowned slightly and lowered his head to look at the ancient horn in his hand that was full of traces of the passage of time.

In the palm of his hand, the light golden immortal power quietly faded away.

"Even immortal power is not enough?"

"But when I tried to activate it just now, I did feel something different..."

Thinking back carefully, at the moment when he used his immortal power, his consciousness seemed to be instantly pulled into a vast ocean. It seemed that with just a thought, he could control this ocean...

But this feeling seemed like an illusion, fleeting.

"My feelings won't lie."

Wang Ba looked thoughtful and tried to infuse it with his immortal power again, but this time, it didn't have any effect at all.

"strangeness……"

"It seems that fate has not yet arrived."

He frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and finally put away the horn.

Looking across, his eyes revealed concern.

A figure in a golden and red robe was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Noticing his change, he slowly opened his eyes.

A pair of golden pupils added a hint of mystery to his handsome face.

It was Wang Ba’s Zhenwu incarnation, Chonghua.

The two of them were in tune with each other, and they felt what Wang Ba was thinking. They frowned and shook their heads and said:

"I haven't made much progress... The way of Zhenwu is probably a dead end. Compared with the many inheritances you have come into contact with over the years, they are all specious. If you want to make further progress, I think you should take the path of rules."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Even if Chonghua didn't say anything, Wang Ba could feel his experience and thoughts. But after hearing Chonghua's words and thinking about it, he habitually concluded:

"All the inheritances I've come across over the years, regardless of the method, all lead to the same destination. In the final analysis, they are all ways to comprehend the rules, master the rules, apply the rules, and finally align oneself with the rules. This is called 'harmony with the Tao'. First 'harmony with the Tao', then 'forget the Tao', until one becomes a Tao of one's own, which is not tolerated by the sea of ​​boundaries, and then ascends... From the very beginning, the Tao of Zhenwu requires little from the outside world, and squeezes out one's own potential to the utmost. I feel that it has a sense of 'self-sufficiency, no need for external help'."

He has inherited countless inheritances, and no matter in terms of cultivation or insight, he is a first-rate figure in the world. Naturally, he is not speaking nonsense when he speaks this time.

The two of them shared their experiences and knowledge. Chonghua also understood what Wang Ba meant, but he looked puzzled:

"If we are inherently complete, why would we still seek outside things?"

The way of Zhenwu does not completely require external resources. On the contrary, if there are more resources supplied, the speed of cultivation will be greatly improved. However, compared with cultivators, such resource consumption can be almost ignored. Even if resources are scarce, it will not have much impact. It can be said that the lower limit is extremely high. The only thing is that the life level is far inferior to that of cultivators of the same level, so it can be said to be "short-lived".

Wang Ba shook his head and said:

"That's because you and I are too demanding."

"In the human body, if the universe is like the universe, the precision is no different from the Great Dao. If we are content with the state of ordinary people, we can be self-sufficient without any spiritual energy. However, what we seek is to transcend the sea of ​​​​boundaries. Compared with ordinary people, how far is it? Naturally, we must introduce external forces, inject these external forces into the body, and promote the transformation of blood essence. It is not like us. No matter what we cultivate, we will eventually seek outside..."

Chonghua's heart was shaken, and suddenly he understood everything:

"Yes!"

"What you cultivate is to be in harmony with the Tao, to forget the Tao, and to transcend the Tao."

"I don't need to cultivate the Tao, because I am the Tao in my original form. Now I am just expressing my original self, so that I can make rapid progress..."

“Wonderful!”

Wang Ba clapped his hands in approval, feeling pleased but also a little regretful:

"Your path is indeed a bumpy one. If you were not nurtured by the blood of immortals and were not gifted with extraordinary talents, you would not have come this far. You will have to forge ahead, which will be even more difficult. I can't do much to help you either. You can only rely on yourself to cross the river."

Chonghua looked completely refreshed, as if all the makeup had been washed away, with a golden glow in his eyes. He smiled when he heard this:

"Don't blame me for not being able to merge with my original body. I will just help you break through to the Mahayana in the future."

"As for my path... I have to walk it on my own in the end."

Wang Ba couldn't help but laugh and nodded:

"That's true. I originally wanted to integrate with my fellow Taoists and use this to impact the Mahayana stage, but now it seems that it is not possible. However, the difference between gains and losses may not be clear at this moment."

The creation of the Zhenwu incarnation is indeed for the purpose of reaching a higher realm in the future.

However, at this moment, both of them realized their true nature and were clearly aware that the direction of their practice was fundamentally different.

The Wanfa Sect says that there are all kinds of dharmas, but after all, it is still the way of cultivators. In the final analysis, it is still a process of using the false to cultivate the true, exploring, seeking, and negating.

That is to say, cultivate magic power, realize the Tao, condense the Tao domain, and finally comprehend the most basic rules of the sea boundary and escape from the sea boundary.

At this moment, Wang Ba, who had realized the way of Zhenwu by himself, finally embarked on a path completely different from that of the cultivators.

That is, human beings themselves contain infinite rules. There is no need to comprehend other things or seek outside. Instead, one only needs to understand oneself and observe oneself, and then one can gradually master the rules that belong to him or her.

The strength of this rule depends on how well you explore it.

This is also the reason why true warriors or witches can reach an extremely high level in a very short period of time.

The practice of a cultivator is like walking out of the mountains, but the practice of Zhenwu is actually outside the Three Mountains.

The two have different intentions, so naturally the process of cultivation has nothing in common.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to integrate into the system of Wanfamai.

Of course, the True Martial Way that the two of them realized is fundamentally different from the original True Martial Way. This path is still a dead end for almost all True Martial practitioners and witches.

Just because Chonghua was born from the blood of immortals, he is essentially no longer a mortal. Looking at the entire sea of ​​​​world, perhaps only Yu Yu, who was also born from the blood of immortals, can keep up with him.

Although Wang Ba felt regretful, Chonghua was also a part of him, and the gains and losses were truly unspeakable.

"In that case, I will not linger any longer. The sea of ​​boundaries is vast, and I should go find my own path... If I succeed in the future, I will come to you if you need me."

Chonghua stood up without any reluctance, waved his sleeves, and strode out of the cave, showing his decisiveness and unrestrained attitude.

He stepped into the air and disappeared.

Wang Ba knew his intention and did not try to dissuade him.

Being self-sufficient and not seeking outside does not mean locking oneself in a cave and having no contact with the outside world. On the contrary, it is through contact with the outside world that one can observe others as if observing oneself in a mirror. Only in this way can one see more clearly.

This is the reason why we used fighting to seek breakthroughs.

"Now that Chonghua is gone, the Ruins of Corpses can be put on the right track with a little more adjustment, but it's still not enough."

Wang Ba counted with his fingers, but couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Now he has a clear idea of ​​the general strength of the corpse ruins.

Not counting him, there are about ten cultivators in the middle stage of tribulation and more than one hundred and twenty cultivators in the early stage of tribulation.

Among them, 70% of the cultivators who are transcending the tribulation are in the ten major forces guarding the acupoints, and the rest of the cultivators in the early stages of transcending the tribulation are scattered in the ruins.

As for the monks who have achieved the state of fusion, there are also an astonishing number of tens of thousands.

The main reason is that there is no boundary barrier in the ruins of corpses, so it is very easy for cultivators to leave the ruins and comprehend the Tao principles emanating from many realms. Therefore, after becoming a spirit and before overcoming the tribulation, the cultivation speed of the casual cultivators is extremely fast.

Compared with the Yuntian Realm, the power of the cultivators in the entire Zhangshi Ruins is much greater than that in the Yuntian Realm, if we don't count the top cultivators such as Gai Zhenren and Bai Zhangjiao, as well as the relatively large number of cultivators in the middle stage of the tribulation, the number of cultivators in the early stage of the tribulation alone is even much larger.

Of course, there is no doubt that the Ruins of Zhang Corpses cannot be compared with the Yuntian Realm, whether it is the top cultivators or the foundation, they are far inferior. However, under the Yuntian Realm and the Eastern Liuli Buddha Realm, the surrounding big realms are probably far from being comparable to the Ruins of Zhang Corpses.

If we say that the Ruins of Corpses is the third "realm" outside the Yuntian Realm and the Eastern Liuli Buddha Realm, there is no problem with that.

"Unfortunately, there is still a gap in the number of top monks."

"If the Supreme Buddha really attacks in the future..."

"It seems that we still need to find some more help."

After thinking for a while, he opened the map of the sea boundary presented by the ten major forces, scanned them one by one, and finally landed on a red dot obscured by fog:

“This is it.”
