Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2463: 223: Reforging (Part 3)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
The outer layer of his form shifted to the distinctive ashen hue typical of ancient trees, taking on an egg-like shape, as if evolving into a personal domain.
This emerging domain was far more compact than the previous Little Cang World, twisting and undulating without pause.
Myriad tiny openings dotted its surface, drawing in the nearby Chaos Origin Substance with wild intensity, creating what looked like swirling vortices.
As this unfolded, the diverse laws inherent to the Ancient Cyan Sky Wood began to manifest, expand, and intensify… leaving Wang Ba’s heart pounding with astonishment!
He had encountered ruined domains before and had even organized domain laws himself, aiding the Little Cang World in surpassing its boundaries.
Yet now, observing a domain arise from utter void, his grasp of laws received a fresh, profound revelation.
The principles he had grasped amid the Perfume Sea’s embrace and during his ascent of Sumeru in the Eastern Glazed Buddha Realm at last linked together in this instant.
No other soul beheld this spectacle, yet in that moment, the fundamental laws housed in Wang Ba’s Primordial Spirit Dao Domain unfurled outward like a mighty tree, its branches spreading wide, nearly enveloping every root beneath… The Dao Domain appeared to gradually reveal its concealed inner laws.
Watching the Canlong Realm on the verge of emergence, True Man Gai prompted:
“The moment has arrived, Taoist Friend Chao.”
Heavenly Monarch Chao wasted no time, promptly expelling a stream of Primordial Spirit Essence Blood that rushed toward the churning Canlong Realm.
The domain laws derived from the Ancient Cyan Sky Wood diverged from the Canlong Realm’s original laws, not always ideal for Beast Control, whereas the prime strength of Canlong Realm rested in its perfect conditions for nurturing, sustaining, and advancing countless Spirit Beasts and Divine Beasts, all shaped by those domain laws.
Having refined the Canlong Realm, Heavenly Monarch Chao commanded the Realm Spirit and proceeded to reshape the Canlong Realm to his vision.
This rudimentary rule-based small domain proved simple to tweak and alter, rendering Heavenly Monarch Chao’s adjustments relatively straightforward.
Within a little over a year, the overhaul of Canlong Realm’s laws reached completion.
Although rough around the edges with certain inconsistencies, the basic structure stood firm; with diligent care and future advancements, it could one day reclaim the Canlong Realm’s past splendor.
Upon the triumphant remaking of Canlong Realm, True Man Gai extended brief felicitations but departed swiftly, wary of Bai Lechan’s impending breakthrough, after bestowing a wealth of pills and artifacts that might prove useful to Canlong Realm.
With True Man Gai’s exit, Heavenly Monarch Chao turned his hand over and tossed the Silkworm Dragon Staff to Wang Ba:
“Here, this belongs to you now.”
Wang Ba felt a jolt of surprise and couldn’t resist questioning hesitantly:
“Master Chao, why not keep the Silkworm Dragon Staff within Canlong Realm?”
Heavenly Monarch Chao answered offhandedly:
“It brought rise, but it also caused the fall; relying on a Dao Treasure for a realm’s fate is foolish indeed. Before, we had no choice, but with Canlong Realm reborn, how could we err again? Besides, since Tianshang Buddha Lord is aware of the Silkworm Dragon Staff, Canlong Realm was fated to lose it. Rather than draw eyes, better to regard it as a commonplace item… You hold onto it for now; you’ll benefit more than I.”
Wang Ba paused briefly but accepted without protest, storing it securely.
Afterward, he soared into the freshly formed Canlong Realm alongside Heavenly Monarch Chao.
Inside this entirely new domain, creation’s dawn had just broken, demanding much construction and development.
At its heart lay a swath of Chaotic Ancient Land, where the influx of external Chaos Origin Substance combined with the primal Power of Creation from the world’s genesis rapidly birthed flora, fauna, aquatic life, fowl, and a host of other beings one after another…
“We’re short on hands.”
Heavenly Monarch Chao remarked, a touch of wistfulness in his tone.
Wang Ba acted without delay, dispatching communications to Yin Tianzhi, Tao Bingji, and the rest in Zhang’s Ruins.
In the Yunhuo Realm of Tao Bingji’s origins, plenty of cultivators and common folk remained; some could be relocated to populate Canlong Realm.
Wang Ba went on:
“Should we ever unlock the Sea of Chaos Realm, we could dispatch folks there too.”
Heavenly Monarch Chao nodded appreciatively, then surveyed the domain, his brow furrowing faintly:
“The realm’s internal laws still harbor flaws; further tweaks are necessary…”
Turning to Wang Ba with gravity, he continued:
“If queries about the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled Technique trouble you, seize this opportunity to consult me. Once I ascend later, you’ll be left to figure it out alone.”
His demeanor grew grave, his face etched with earnestness as he declared:
“Buddha Tianyin has fallen; the Three Great Realms no longer endanger the Supreme True Buddha. When Tianshang Buddha Lord regains strength, who knows when they’ll strike next. Your power now overpowers Crossing Tribulation experts, yet it lags behind Mahayana might.”
“Opening Duanhai Cliff is its own pursuit. Securing your unassailable strength demands priority.”
“Upon reflection, your sole path forward is harnessing the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled Technique to swiftly raise a Ninth-Tier Divine Beast. Even a fleeting Ninth-Tier might not grant combat prowess, but it could safeguard your survival at least.”
Tianshang Buddha Lord was truly a force to reckon with, yet a resolute Mahayana Cultivator bent on flight could often elude even Tianshang Buddha Lord’s grasp. This explained the rarity of Mahayana Cultivators perishing in the Realm Sea. Buddha Tianyin stood as a rare case, struck down by Tianshang Buddha Lord right inside the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm. In such dire straits, refusal to battle unto death would have doomed the whole Eastern Luli Buddha Realm to oblivion.
Wang Ba found himself in full accord with this counsel.
Yet a crucial challenge arose.
Even for a provisional fusion into a Ninth-Tier Divine Beast via the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbridled Technique, reaching such heights necessitated an Eighth-Tier late-stage Divine Beast as the core, something he utterly lacked.
Nevertheless, in that very instant, an idea flashed through his thoughts, directing him straight to a particular location.
