Longevity, starting from raising chickens

"The Imperial Bandits are destroyed... The vortex in the Sea of ​​Realm is moving strangely..."

The two pieces of news, one good and one bad, made Wang Ba feel a little depressed.

The Huangji Thieves were suspected to be created by Chonghua, but now they were suddenly wiped out, which really made him worried.

However, the only thing he could be sure of was that in his perception, Chonghua did not die.

Either Chonghua was not among the Huangji thieves, or he escaped by luck.

Although he was very worried, he was unable to contact the other party and didn't even know where the other party was, so he was really helpless.

Another piece of news, the unusual movement of the whirlpool in the boundary sea, made him both surprised and happy.

"I just told Taoist Man about this whirlpool in the Sea of ​​Realm. Could it be that it has appeared again so soon?"

"No, we have to go there as soon as possible."

Wang Ba's heart moved slightly, and then he looked at the Jade Fire Tung Tree in front of him:
"The boundary sea vortex has appeared."

On the Jade Fire Tung Tree, Taoist Man was slightly surprised, then said in a muffled voice:
"My Lord, please wait a moment."

After saying that, the Taoist's face suddenly struggled out from the Jade Fire Tung Tree, followed by his torso, arms, and lower body...

Almost at the same time, the huge tree trunk behind him flowed into his body like water.

Then a complete Taoist priest appeared in front of Wang Ba.

But his hair was like red clouds, and his clothes were the color of tree bark.

It looks like a smaller jade firewood tree.

Wang Ba looked at this scene with a little surprise.

Also somewhat surprised was Wang Liu, who was swinging a willow branch and practicing his whip skills not far away.

Wang Liu manifested directly with his primordial spirit, but the method that Man Daoren was using was obviously another way.

Taoist Man did not hide anything and explained:

"This is a secret technique from a destroyed realm, called the 'Escape and Transformation Technique', created specifically for spiritual plants that have gained intelligence to facilitate their movements."

Wang Hao nodded slightly:

"When you have time, teach this spell to Wang Liu as well."

"Thank you teacher!"

Wang Liu on the side was overjoyed, and Taoist Man nodded indifferently.

There are countless kinds of secret inheritances in his memory. These are the accumulation of the memories of countless ancient monks, but they all belong to him.

In terms of background and knowledge alone, looking across the entire world, there may not be many people who can surpass him.

But it's fate and time, and now I have to live under someone else's roof.

These emotions did not bother Man Dao Ren. He was anxious to escape from this sea of ​​chaos, so he was more concerned than Wang Ba and reminded him:

"It takes a long time for the boundary sea vortex to grow from its initial form to its completeness. It's not fixed. We should go and take a look as soon as possible, so as not to miss the opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation from the beginning, so in the past few years, he had already laid a super long-distance teleportation array between the two.

He immediately took Man Daoren, Wu Yuanwang and others with him, and quickly used the teleportation array to travel several times before arriving in the ancient city after the renovation of the Demon-Catching Sect.

Shu Yuanzi, the Taoist master of the Demon-Catching Sect, and Gao Yu, the Lord of the Shiqiong Realm, were already waiting in front of the teleportation array. When they saw Wang Ba, they immediately greeted him respectfully.

"No need to waste time, go and take a look first."

Wang Ba came out of the teleportation array, said a few simple words, and then flew directly to the outside of the Demon-Catching Road.

Shu Yuanzi, Gao Yu, Man Daoren and others hurried to follow.

In order to facilitate timely observation of the situation of the boundary sea whirlpool, Shu Yuanzi deliberately moved the ancient city of Qinmodao to the vicinity of the boundary sea whirlpool.

So in just a few breaths, Wang Ba and King Wu the Ape who was following closely behind him suddenly stopped.

Wang Ba looked down at the dark void below with a slightly strange expression.

In the void, the originally smooth space now resembled the situation in the ocean, with subtle wrinkles that were difficult to detect, like ripples flowing on the sea, but also faintly showing a rotating radial shape...

If he didn't look carefully, even if he walked by here, he might not notice the changes here.

Obviously, there are people from the Demon-Catching Sect and the Stone-Poor Realm guarding here all the time to observe the situation.

Shu Yuanzi and Gao Yu just arrived at this time.

Man Daoren was even slower.

He is the remnant soul of an immortal, but the body he occupied was only a fifth-level spiritual plant after all. With his realm greatly reduced, he may not be weaker than an ordinary sixth-level or refining cultivator, but after all, he is no match for the combined cultivators like Shu Yuanzi and Gao Yu.

I barely caught up, and when I saw the ripples below, my eyes lit up:
"It really is a boundary sea whirlpool... It's really strange that there is actually a boundary sea whirlpool in this sea of ​​chaos."

Wang Ba was moved when he heard this, and asked:
"Why do you say that? Shouldn't there be a whirlpool in the Sea of ​​Chaos?"

"Back then, wasn't there a boundary sea whirlpool in the Land of Immortal Absoluteness that led to the Sea of ​​Chaos?"

When Taoist Man heard this, he did not show any embarrassment at all and said seriously:

"My Lord, you don't know that the rules in the Sea of ​​Chaos are very different from those in the outside world. Logically, there shouldn't be any whirlpools in the Sea of ​​Chaos that can lead here. The whirlpools in the Sea of ​​Chaos in the Immortal Land were just a play on the rules in the Sea of ​​Chaos. The two can't be confused."

Wang Ba was thoughtful:
"So you have done some research on this whirlpool in the sea of ​​​​reality?"

Taoist Man laughed and said:
"I remember a realm that was very good at using these natural boundary sea whirlpools. It could even adjust the rules of the boundary sea whirlpools to span across countless boundaries... The boundary sea whirlpool in front of us is still in its early stages of formation. It looks like it will take some time to fully take shape. My Lord, it would be best if the realm makes some preparations now."

Shu Yuanzi and Gao Yu were present, so he didn't make it too obvious.

However, Wang Ba understood what he meant and nodded:

"There are no outsiders here, but you are right."

He immediately asked Gao Yu to pass a message to Zhao Feng and others, asking Xiaocangjie to make preparations.

Wang Ba then looked at Taoist Man, his face becoming more serious:
"How sure are you?"

This time, Taoist Man did not make any promises. After considering it for a while, he said:

"I'm afraid we need to go in and take a look."

After saying that, he fell straight towards the folds in space.

Wang Ba didn't know much about the boundary sea whirlpool, so he fell down immediately after seeing this. The rules he sensed here were indeed a little different from before.

Taoist Man also wanted to show his worth in front of Wang Ba, so he pointed at the ripples around him and said with a smile:

"This boundary sea vortex is indeed naturally formed. My Lord, you can see its ripples. The texture is natural, and the internal rules are also smooth and seamless. My Lord, it is really a destiny. It is really rare to find such a natural boundary sea vortex in this chaotic sea."

Wang Ba automatically filtered out the other party's flattery and frowned:

"You said before that we need to adjust the rules and break the constraints of the Sea of ​​Chaos before we can leave this vortex of the Sea of ​​Chaos. How should we adjust this?"

“Haha, it’s indeed difficult to say, but it’s also simple to say… But we need to start with the reason why this vortex in the sea of ​​​​worlds was formed.”

Taoist Man then pointed to one of the ripples and explained in detail:

"The changes in the boundary sea caused a resonance in the rules between the two places that were far apart. This resonance, by chance, formed a channel. This is why the boundary sea vortex appeared."

"So the appearance of the boundary sea vortex means that the entrance and exit of another vortex has appeared somewhere, or in multiple places, in the boundary sea."

Man Daoist narrated:

"Because of the changes in the boundary sea, the rules of each boundary sea whirlpool are different."

"If you want to use and control this vortex, you need to adjust the rules to what you need. In this way, you can resonate with another vortex in the boundary sea with similar rules, and eventually connect with it, achieving the feat of crossing an endlessly distant place in an instant."

"To achieve this, firstly, we need to know the detailed information such as the rule arrangement or position of the vortex in the other boundary sea. Secondly, there must be no interference from the rules in between. Thirdly, the cultivator must have the ability to manipulate the rules."

"The current problem is that the rules of the Sea of ​​Chaos are blocking us, creating a special situation where we can only enter but not exit. It's like a net that separates the two ends."

"If we want to change this situation, we need to break through this net before the vortex takes shape, so that the inside and outside can be completely connected. If we want to break through this net, it depends on our personal ability and understanding of the rules. Of course, we still need to pay attention to the technique..."

Wang Ba nodded and summed it up in one sentence: those who find it difficult don’t know how to do it, and those who know how to do it have no difficulty.

However, Man Daoren's realm has dropped drastically now, and he is no longer able to change the rules, so now he can only rely on himself.

Taoist Man did not dare to keep anything to himself and taught Wang Ba all the key points on how to crack the rules of the Sea of ​​Chaos, referring to the rules in the whirlpool here.

Although his realm and strength have declined greatly now, his foundation and vision are still there. He has also gathered the life-long experience of countless cultivators and is willing to show it. When he explains, he can explain things in a simple and easy-to-understand way and with great insight.

Even though Wang Ba didn't quite understand it at first, after listening to him, he actually gained some insights.

Some are even eager to try it.

After hearing some of this, the Monkey King Wu, who was standing by, yawned sleepily, found an empty space, and sat down to meditate.

Shu Yuanzi pricked up his ears, but he didn't understand anything.

Man Daoren continued to explain:

"This is the rule of the boundary sea whirlpool. It is a common type of rule in recurring whirlpools, and it is also a necessary rule that cultivators extract from them. Such a complete and standard one is extremely rare even in natural boundary sea whirlpools..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly froze, his eyes fixed for a rare moment, staring at the whirlpool that was gradually forming in front of him.

There was a flash of disbelief and heaviness in his eyes.

Wang Ba was listening attentively, but he noticed that the other party suddenly paused and looked at Taoist Man in confusion:

"what happened?"

Taoist Man stared at the vortex, as if he had finally confirmed something. The expression on his face changed from surprise to astonishment, and then to a hint of deep helplessness.

Then he sighed and shook his head:
"I was wrong... This boundary sea vortex was not formed naturally. No, to be more precise, it was a natural boundary sea vortex that had been artificially transformed."

"This is a dead end."

"Artificial transformation?!"

Wang Ba was startled, and looked at the vortex of the boundary sea in front of him in disbelief:
"How could this be transformed? Then how did Qin Lingxiao's true spirit come here..."

Taoist Man was unaware of Wang Ba's confusion and explained:

"The boundary sea vortex here is indeed naturally formed, and from what I have seen, its inherent rules are of a relatively common type, and it is easier to resonate with other boundary sea vortices. Perhaps this is why it was chosen by someone, and thus it was transformed into the main vein of a boundary sea vortex channel."

"Main vein?"

Wang Ba frowned slightly, feeling a little unfamiliar.

Man Daoren immediately explained:

"Since it is the main vein, it means that someone has used this natural vortex of the boundary sea to open up other entrances and exits in this sea of ​​chaos."

"After being modified, it's like a road that could lead to many directions, but someone blocked other possibilities, leaving only one, and the only passable road, and the door is closed and locked. If you don't know the rules on the other side, even if you find this 'key', you still can't leave... We don't know who modified the rules here, and we don't know the rules on the other side, so there is no hope of leaving here."

Although he said there was no hope, there was no sign of discouragement on Man Daoren's face.

He has survived countless years, so he really doesn't care much about the current setbacks.

Instead, we actively seek solutions:
"It is unlikely that we can open the boundary sea vortex channel here by ourselves. We also need to find the person who has changed the rules of the boundary sea vortex. If we know who this person is, and learn the rules and arrangements on the other side from him, it will be easy."

Wang Ba also frowned.

He had memorized everything that Taoist Man had taught him, but the result was disappointing to him.

The feeling of having hope raised and then dashed was really not pleasant, but Man Daoren's positive attitude did influence him.

"Who is it? To have the ability to transform the whirlpool of the Sea of ​​Realm, he must be at least in the Tribulation Realm. But I have never heard of such a being in the Sea of ​​Realm Chaos... Immortal? Or is it a being outside the Sea of ​​Realm Chaos?"

He pondered over it for a moment, feeling vaguely that it was not the work of an immortal.

"If it's someone from outside the Sea of ​​Chaos... who could it be?"

He thought for a moment and had a vague suspicion, but he didn't know where to look for him.

The Sea of ​​Chaos is so vast that even if we really find it, it may be too late.

Taoist Man pondered for a moment and said:

"I wonder what plans the Lord has next?"

Wang Ba pondered for a while, sighed slightly, and finally made a decision in his heart:
"Since this road is temporarily unworkable, we can't just keep wasting time like this... The Jade Pot Realm is a problem after all. If the Blasphemy Realm is not appeased, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on any longer."

Taoist Man had no interest in these things and shook his head:
"These are just details..."

Wang Ba did not refute after hearing this, but as the master of a world, he naturally had to consider more than just his personal practice and escape.

He took a look at the embryonic form of the whirlpool in the boundary sea, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he finally calmed down and ordered Shu Yuanzi to continue guarding it. He, together with Man Daoren, Wu Yuanwang and others, used the teleportation array to return to Xiaocang Realm.

A few days later.

The Xiaocang Realm, surrounded by nine acropolises, slowly flew away from the Immortal Realm... (End of this chapter)
