Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

"Lord of the Ruins!"

The surface of the ruins of corpses.

When Yin Tianzhi, Cheng Lianzi and others saw Wang Ba coming, they hurried forward and saluted respectfully.

People like the Lord of Jinshuipo and the Lord of Yutang Mansion looked even more pious and followed Cheng Lianzi very respectfully, with a hint of unconscious caution on their faces.

If they had previously been more afraid of the Ruins Lord than respected him, and had been forced to submit to him because of his power, then this unexpected battle with the Supreme True Buddha had made them realize the gap between themselves and the Ruins Lord.

Whether it was fighting against three great Bodhisattvas by himself, or chatting and laughing with the Mahayana cultivator Gai Zhenren afterwards, it was definitely not something they could do.

Therefore, his expression became more respectful and his back became lowered.

Wang Ba glanced over, raised his hand with a smile, and the cultivators found that they could not bow down no matter what.

"Although this battle happened suddenly, we were still able to defend the ruins of Zhang Shi. You all have made great contributions, especially..."

Upon hearing this, the monks were immediately cheered up.

Wang Ba shifted his gaze slightly and looked at Cheng Lianzi.

Noticing Wang Ba's gaze, Cheng Lianzi subconsciously frowned and looked a little solemn.

Wang Ba suddenly smiled and praised sincerely:

"Especially Fellow Daoist Cheng, who risked his life to bring peace to the Ruins of Corpses, broke out of the Ruins of Corpses alone and fought against the Bodhisattva of the Supreme True Buddha. His bravery and determination really surprised me and made me ashamed..."

Hearing Wang Ba's praise, Cheng Lianzi was slightly startled, as if he had not expected Wang Ba's praise to be so straightforward and yet so touching. However, he immediately realized Wang Ba's method and quickly warned himself:

"It's just a trick to win people's hearts!"

"Humph! Although I am far inferior to you, how can I be bought by your little favors so easily?"

As he thought this, a smile unconsciously appeared on his gloomy face, but the moment he realized it, he quickly tensed up.

But the corners of his mouth still couldn't be suppressed, and his words seemed clumsy for a moment:

"Twenty-nine...top-grade Dao treasures?!"

“G-for me?!”

Wang Ba nodded and said naturally:

"Fellow Daoist Cheng has made great contributions, and has also brought out the might of my Corpse Ruins. Since he has made great contributions, he should be rewarded... I think if we meet that Bodhisattva Zhijing again next time, fellow Daoist Cheng should be able to defeat him, right?"

Cheng Lianzi stared at Wang Ba blankly, and his eyes gradually changed slightly.

There was silence for a few breaths.

He put this precious and valuable land into his sleeve, and then, under the envious gazes of the surrounding monks, he bowed solemnly to Wang Ba, then raised his hand towards the boundary sea and said firmly:

"Cheng Lianzi swears here that if I fail to chop off the head of Bodhisattva Zhijing when we meet next time, I will not be able to face the Lord of the Land, and I will kill myself to thank the Lord of the Land!"

The monks around were all shocked when they heard this. They never expected that Cheng Lianzi would be so determined.

Wang Ba's face darkened when he heard this. He suddenly reached out and pressed down Cheng Lianzi's palm, and shook his head slightly, saying:

"As long as you have the intention, the monks of Zhangshixu don't need to swear an oath to make their intentions clear."

Cheng Lianzi shook his head slightly, his face no longer gloomy, but more resolute:

"With such a heart of Taoism, there is no need for the Ruins Master to persuade me."

Hearing this, Wang Ba frowned slightly, and finally sighed softly and withdrew his hand.

Cheng Lianzi also smiled, bowed solemnly to Wang Ba again, and retreated into the crowd.

Wang Ba's gaze shifted slightly, then fell on Yin Tianzhi. He also expressed praise and bestowed upon him a top-grade Taoist treasure.

Yin Tianzhi was also extremely surprised. He knew that top-grade Taoist treasures were rare and precious. After searching throughout the entire Ruins of Zhang Corpses, he found that only Cheng Lianzi, because of the Laowen School, an old force with profound foundation, had a magic weapon comparable to a top-grade Taoist treasure.

Just now, when he saw Cheng Lianzi being awarded a top-grade Taoist treasure, although he was envious and had desire in his heart, he was ultimately clear that he had not actually made any significant contribution this time.

Now that he had received the reward, he was really surprised and happy. However, he was worried that Wang Ba would not be able to convince the people, so after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and refused.

"Fellow Daoist Yin, you have protected me and prevented me from being disturbed by the outside world. Only in this way can I come out of retreat to subdue the great Bodhisattva. This supreme Taoist treasure should be given to you."

Wang Ba smiled and pushed Daobao into Yin Tianzhi's arms.

When the others saw this, although they were envious and even jealous, they did not have any objections.

Just now when everyone surrounded the Yinxu Taoist Temple, Yin Tianzhi endured all the pressure and was determined not to let them disturb the Lord of the Temple. If such loyalty did not result in a top-grade Taoist treasure, it would be disheartening to them.

On the other hand, Yin Tianzhi was able to obtain a top-grade Taoist treasure, which made them more eager to try.

Wang Ba continued to reward people according to their merits, but except for these two, the others only got a top-grade Taoist treasure or some rare elixirs at most.

Even so, no one was dissatisfied. After all, if Wang Ba had not been there, there would be no possibility of winning the battle between the Supreme True Buddha and the Ruins of Corpses. Although they made contributions in the battle, it was not really prominent.

After all, this was also an attempt to save oneself, and now one can get a reward, which is an unexpected surprise, so naturally no one has any objections.

After the rewarding ceremony, Wang Ba wanted to catch an example and continue to establish his authority, but after glancing at the respectful looks of the crowd and thinking back to the previous battles, it seemed that no one had betrayed the enemy. He shook his head with some regret, then looked around at everyone and said solemnly:

"Although we won this battle, it was only because the Supreme True Buddha didn't know about the unification of the Ruins of Corpses, and didn't know that you could work together. That's why they didn't take us seriously, and we took advantage of them... But after this battle, the Supreme True Buddha knows our trump cards. If we come again next time, it will definitely be a tough and arduous battle."

When everyone heard this, their faces became solemn, and the excitement in their hearts suddenly calmed down.

Wang Ba saw this and smiled:

"But we are not without advantages. We are independent cultivators. Although we are no match for the Supreme Buddha head-on, we have many means and are hard to defend against. We can start from this idea and magnify our advantages. In addition, our cooperation is still a little unfamiliar. If we can truly cooperate seamlessly..."

He was just talking about one direction, and he actually didn't know much about the unique tactics of many forces.

But after hearing Wang Ba's words, all the cultivators seemed to be thinking about something, and soon their eyes lit up slightly.

It's not that they didn't think of these things, it's just that they were in different positions, and because they had very little contact with the Supreme Buddha, their understanding of the Supreme Buddha was really somewhat superficial. Wang Ba had dealt with the monks of the Supreme Buddha many times, so he was experienced and had a bird's-eye view, so he could naturally get to the point.

After doing all this, although Wang Ba couldn't wait to go to the Yuntian Realm, he still calmed down and worked with the other cultivators to carefully repair the formation on the surface of the Zhangshi Ruins.

What surprised Wang Bawei was that the previous battle had shattered the stubborn rocks that had accumulated on the surface of the Zhang Corpse Ruins for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, revealing the harder rocks underneath.

Even though the Bodhisattvas and Arhats had fought each other in the early and middle stages of their tribulation, they were unable to destroy the stone underneath at all.

"This ruins of corpses is quite mysterious..."

Wang Ba personally bombarded it with the Dao Realm. Although he did not use his full strength, he only left some marks on the hard stone. He could not help but be a little surprised.

With his current abilities, even the boundary membrane of the Yuntian Realm would most likely collapse at the touch of a button in his hands if there were no formation to protect it. However, it had no effect on the Ruins of Corpses, which naturally surprised him.

"Perhaps it has been nurtured by the Chaos Essence for countless years, and its quality has long been extraordinary."

Yin Tianzhi followed behind and speculated when he saw the situation.

Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, then asked doubtfully:

"I had a question when I came here before, but I never asked it. Today, I thought about it again... Why is this Ruins of Corpses called 'Ruins of Corpses'?"

Every place name has a reason.

For example, Wang Sanwan is named after the fact that many people here have the surname Wang and the road has three bends.

Simple and easy to understand, you will know it at first sight.

However, this chapter on the ruins of corpses is a bit confusing.

Yin Tianzhi was also stunned when he heard this. He frowned and thought for a while, and finally shook his head awkwardly:

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I really don't know. Lord Xu, please wait. I will go find Cheng Lianzi. Maybe he knows."

Wang Ba was about to wave his hand, but Yin Tianzhi had already sent a message to Cheng Lianzi, who was repairing the formation with other cultivators in the distance. Cheng Lianzi also flew over immediately, and upon hearing Wang Ba's doubts, he laughed:

"It's normal that Fellow Daoist Yin doesn't know. Not to mention the Ruins Master, I'm afraid that few cultivators in the entire Ruins of Corpses know about it."

Yin Tianzhi heard this and said with some indignation:

"So you know about this?"

"That's natural."

Cheng Lianzi had no intention of being modest. He immediately looked at Wang Ba and introduced him:

"The word 'xu' has many meanings. Some people say that 'xu' means 'wei', which means a market. It is said that this place was originally a market for independent cultivators to trade. Therefore, this 'Zhangshi Ruins' is a market called 'Zhangshi'."

"But some people say that the word 'xu' means abandoned. This place was originally a boundary, but later due to an accident, the people left and the boundary became a ruin. It is just the opposite of the word 'shi', which means that this is a deserted boundary."

"The abandoned realm is a possibility."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba looked thoughtful and then nodded slightly.

"Lord of the Ruins, please understand."

Cheng Lianzi flattered him lightly, then nodded and said:

"The Laowen Sect has been passed down for many years and should be considered the longest-standing force in the current ruins of corpses. Therefore, it has preserved many ancient secrets. One of them is that long ago, at the end of the boundary sea, a riot broke out in the extreme blue abyss. A second boundary sea crossed the extreme blue abyss and came. Its strength was tyrannical. Wherever it passed, the boundary collapsed and the void collapsed. However, it was ultimately subject to the rules of the boundary sea and died in the end. However, its corpse was immortal and drifted in the boundary sea..."

Wang Ba was slightly surprised and couldn't help but lower his head and look down at his feet:

"So, this is the corpse of the Second World Sea Immortal?"

The appearance of this corpse instantly came to my mind. It was indeed no different from that of a living being. If it was said to be the corpse of an immortal, it would be most reasonable.

Cheng Lianzi was now convinced and spoke freely:

"My ancestor also believed this. Only an immortal can manifest a world and protect the monks. However, after he entered the Mahayana stage, he explored several times but did not gain anything. In the end, he ascended to heaven with regret... The magic weapon I used and the horn were the treasures that my ancestor obtained in the depths of the corpse ruins."

Then he sighed:

"The master left these two treasures, saying that if one can comprehend the 'horn', one can hope to enter the Mahayana stage. Unfortunately, the younger disciples are incompetent, and no one has ever understood it. In fact, since him, no one has been able to enter the late stage of the tribulation."

Wang Ba was a little surprised when he heard this:

"Is the horn also in this corpse ruins?"

Then he immediately recalled that the other party had indeed mentioned this matter, but he was too busy and never paid attention to it.

Thinking of this, he remembered another thing. When he blew the horn, at that moment, his consciousness seemed to have come to an "ocean".

But in a split second, his consciousness seemed to be forced out...

At that time, he thought it was his own illusion. Although he felt it was strange, he just thought that it was not destined yet. Now, thinking about what Cheng Lianzi said, many possibilities suddenly came to his mind.

I couldn't help but lower my head again and look at the extremely hard stone under my feet. At this moment, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something else, but it really seemed like I saw a skin-like texture on it.

"This corpse ruins... is he still alive?"

He couldn't help but think of what Yin Penglai and the others had said before. If he wanted to stay in the Ruins of Corpses to practice, he would need to get the approval of the core of the Ruins of Corpses.

As to what the core is, there are different opinions.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that deep in this ruins of corpses, there might really be the will of that immortal hidden...

"So, it's probably not an accident that I was not recognized by the 'core' at the beginning. Then why did this 'core' not recognize me?"

"What is the difference between me and other monks?"

“Could it be…”

His heart moved slightly, and he vaguely realized something in his mind.

"Don't want to get involved?"

"Still...scared?"

His expression remained calm, but countless thoughts were already intertwined in his mind.

At this moment, he wanted to test it, but in the end he suppressed his impulse.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Since the existence in the Ruins of Corpses has not done anything to me, at least it has no ill will towards me at the moment..."

What he needs to do is not to try to see whether the other party is willing to continue to maintain goodwill, but to ensure that even if the other party has no goodwill towards him, he can get away with it.

But when Wang Ba saw the barely perceptible marks on the stone under his feet, he knew that the distance between them was probably much farther than he had imagined.

"But there is still hope... If the corpse ruins are really the corpses of immortals as Cheng Lianzi said, at least the boundary sea still has constraints on them, so that they can't act recklessly."

"Perhaps this is also the reason why it tolerates the monks living on its body..."

"Wait...something's wrong!"

"If the Ruins of Corpses only tolerates the existence of monks in their bodies, why does it need the approval of the 'core'?"

Wang Ba was startled, and subconsciously looked around at the countless cultivators, and then looked at the ground below. He thought that if he wanted to practice in the Ruins of Corpses, he must obtain the recognition of the Ruins of Corpses. He thought of the many forces in the Ruins of Corpses, but none of them had reached the late stage of the tribulation. He thought of himself being squeezed out of that "ocean"...

At this moment, he finally realized a possibility:

"Could it be that the existence deep in the ruins of corpses is using these monks to support itself?!" (End of this chapter)
