Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2352: 85: Homecoming (Part 3)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
As the words were on the tip of his tongue, a sudden realization hit him, causing him to halt abruptly and seal his mouth shut. With a flicker of unease, his eyes darted to the swirling vortex in the Realm Sea beneath. Noticing it remained unchanged, he let out a quiet breath of relief:
“Such carelessness! I nearly invited disaster moments ago!”
The unsightly white-armored Cultivator caught only part of the sentence without continuation, leaving him baffled:
“Senior Qian, what if what?”
The youth in purple armor cleared his throat awkwardly, then muttered:
“Nothing at all, simply stay focused.”
Realization dawned on the ugly white-armored Cultivator, who grinned and replied:
“With a senior like you present… Oh, on that note, is that one still in closed-door cultivation? When might we launch our assault on the Immortal Pass?”
“That one?”
A brief surprise crossed the purple-armored youth's face before enlightenment struck, his demeanor turning grave as he straightened up instinctively from his former casual stance, whispering:
“Probably… That one's position is so exalted that only a handful in the realm might know if they've exited seclusion. Yet, striking at the Immortal Pass isn't solely contingent on that one's emergence—it hinges too on the three camps assembling sufficient forces.”
Observing the deep respect in the purple-armored youth's solemn look, surpassing even his awe for the Limp Half-Immortal, the ugly white-armored Cultivator grew equally earnest, nodding regretfully:
“What a shame I've never witnessed that Taoist Master's grace firsthand.”
The purple-armored youth let out a soft chuckle in response:
“No need to fret, an opportunity will surely arise…”
While uttering those words, his heart jolted unexpectedly. On impulse, he glanced below, only for his eyes to lock in place, his expression twisting in shock!
The vortex in the Realm Sea, calm just instants before, began to widen without warning!
Beyond that, the rotation of the patterns within the vortex accelerated visibly.
It felt to him like something from the vortex's far side was widening this gateway, bridging realms to reach this spot!
“Didn't they claim the Realm Sea vortex was on the verge of sealing? How could anyone still pass through?!”
“Is it possible I cursed it once more?!”
In that instant, the purple-armored youth's complexion paled with frustration and haste, but his vast experience allowed him to regain composure swiftly, prompting him to seize a Messaging Magical Device without delay and transmit word of the disturbance.
Even as a Refining Void Cultivator, the ugly white-armored one struggled to keep steady now, though the anxiety in his gaze revealed his inner dread.
Though their posting here offered scant details, they understood this spot served as a conduit beyond the Sea of Chaos Realm, with its terminus controlled by foes. The abrupt unrest in the Realm Sea vortex suggested enemies from outside the Sea of Chaos Realm were imminent!
This thought sent shivers racing through him!
“Stop idling! I've alerted Taoist Master Chonghua and the Vajra Realm Master—I'll keep watch here…”
The purple-armored youth issued the command with steady resolve.
Yet his features darkened before the words fully escaped.
The Realm Sea vortex below had fully dilated, and right then, a verdant glow emerged gracefully from within!
Acting on instinct, the purple-armored youth summoned his twin-hammer Dao Treasure, launching them with deceptive slowness that belied their speed straight at the green light!
At that juncture, the green light scattered, unveiling a green-robed form hovering in the air.
Confronting the incoming twin hammers, the figure made no move to evade, merely arching a brow in mild astonishment.
The hammers struck him, vanishing like stones into an ocean, yielding zero resistance.
Still, beholding that recognizable, composed silhouette, the purple-armored youth drew in a sharp, amazed breath:
“T-Taoist Master?!”
The green-robed figure turned his gaze toward him then, a warm, approving smile playing on his lips:
“White Hair, in more than two centuries, you've truly advanced considerably.”
