Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2512 240: Cultivation Ascension

The Zhang's Ruins lie distant from the Duanhai Cliff, separated by the immense Four Great Realms. Even Wang Ba, bolstered by the Escape and Dissolve Divine Power, must depend on the various marks he previously set in the Realm Sea, executing multiple jumps through Soul Falling, to at last reach the place.

"Ruins Master."

In the vast Chaos Origin Substance, Yin Tianzhi bowed deeply to Wang Ba, who abruptly emerged from the Token.

Wang Ba gave a faint nod, his eyes scanning the surrounding Chaos Origin Substance, realizing he hovered in the void beyond the Cloud Sky Realm and Canlong Realm.

His brows knit slightly as he asked:

"What's going on?"

Yin Tianzhi wore a helpless expression:

"We've only just reached the Four Great Realms by Duanhai Cliff, but entry is utterly impossible."

Wang Ba probed the area and instantly detected a colossal Formation enveloping the Cloud Sky Realm, Canlong Realm, and Eastern Luli Buddha Realm.

This Formation drew power from the Three Great Realms, harnessing the boundless Chaos Origin Substance into an impenetrable barrier.

It was evident that tremendous effort and resources had gone into its construction.

"Didn't you spot anyone from the Cloud Sky Realm or Canlong Realm?"

As Wang Ba's gaze swept over the Formations, his frown deepened while he questioned.

Yin Tianzhi shook his head faintly:

"I saw no one. I just got here and got stopped by this Formation. I sent messages inside, but got no reply for some time. Worried about delays, I quickly triggered the Token you provided."

Wang Ba nodded subtly, thought briefly, then darted toward Canlong Realm, shouting aloud:

"Is Master Chao here? Taiyi requests an audience."

However, Canlong Realm's Realm Membrane rippled as if under scrutiny, yet nobody ventured out.

Wang Ba's brows furrowed even more, sensing something instinctively, before he sped to Cloud Sky Realm and called out gravely beyond the Formation:

"Taiyi of the Zhang's Ruins seeks to meet True Man Gai of Cloud Sky Sect."

After a short silence.

After several breaths, Cloud Sky Realm's Realm Membrane parted, and a figure shot forth.

Before the figure could be clearly seen, that individual bellowed:

"Don't spout nonsense! Are you a Supreme True Buddha Demon Monk in disguise? True Man Taiyi perished long ago—True Man Gai saw it himself. How dare you impersonate him to trick us!"

Wang Ba was momentarily stunned but remembered Wu Monkey King's earlier words.

He mulled it over briefly, then declared firmly:

"True or false, let True Man Gai come himself to judge."

But that figure drifted nearer, peering at Wang Ba through the Formation. He donned a purple robe akin to Bai Lechan's, with a young visage—not quite as ethereal as Bai Lechan's—and sneered coldly:

"No need for a demon monk to probe us!"

The moment the words escaped, a sword-light materialized inside the Formation and hacked straight at Wang Ba and Yin Tianzhi!

This sword-light brimmed with ferocity, channeling the might of the Three Great Realms and nearby Chaos Origin Substance in a single devastating cut toward Wang Ba.

Yin Tianzhi's face paled sharply, sensing the sword-light poised to rend the void itself—evasion seemed futile—as he exclaimed in alarm:

"Ruins Master, watch out!"

Wang Ba's face grew somber, eyeing the descending sword-light while standing firm, hands clasped behind him.

From his Primordial Spirit erupted the Yellow Dao Domain at Tenth Tier, morphing into an identical sword-light that collided directly with the Formation's assault, holding perfectly even!

"Crack!"

A sharp crack rang out as both sword-lights abruptly dissipated.

Inside the Formation, the youthful purple-robed cultivator's eyes widened in shock:

"Mahayana?!"

Wang Ba kept his composure steady.

The Formation's sword-light rivaled a full Mahayana blow. Though not yet Mahayana himself, his foundation—forged across myriad paths—spanned two great realms, effortlessly matching and blocking such an attack.

A flicker of astonishment and uncertainty crossed the young purple-robed cultivator's features.

He was aware the Supreme True Buddha boasted many elite monks, yet only one Mahayana: the Tianshang Buddha Lord.

However, the Tianshang Buddha Lord's style differed markedly from this figure.

Furthermore, this unique Yellow Dao Domain was utterly distinctive.

Though he'd never beheld True Man Taiyi personally, he knew the man's signature traits intimately.

Faced with this, hesitation crept in, and he probed cautiously:

"Are you really True Man Taiyi? Any proof?"

Wang Ba's frown deepened slightly.

With his sharp perception, he easily gauged this cultivator at mid-to-late Crossing Tribulation stage—likely ranking below Bai Lechan in Cloud Sky Realm.

As peers with Sect Leader Bai in cultivation, and lord of the Zhang's Ruins, he refused to humble himself proving to this junior.

With a light headshake, he replied:

"If True Man Gai can't appear, is Taoist Brother Bai available?"

The young purple-robed cultivator hesitated at the words, then answered:

"My master... my master is occupied with urgent affairs and can't emerge."

"Are you Taoist Brother Bai's disciple?"

Wang Ba's brows relaxed a touch; a swift realization struck, and he bluntly stated:

"Have True Man Gai and Taoist Brother Bai gone to the Supreme True Buddha?"

At Wang Ba's question, the young purple-robed cultivator's pupils contracted, though his face stayed impassive as he denied with a slight shake of the head:

"My grandmaster and master remain in the realm, merely tied up for now."

Wang Ba's insight pierced the pretense; unwilling to bandy words, his expression hardened as he demanded:

"How long have they been away? When did they depart? Where to now?"

Catching the urgency in Wang Ba's voice, the young purple-robed cultivator's composure finally cracked, his brows furrowing as he responded:
