Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2536: 248: Opposition

“Open Duanhai Cliff?”
Wang Ba's statement failed to draw the anticipated response.
Apart from insiders like Kong Zen and Heavenly Monarch Chao, the others exchanged bewildered glances, clearly puzzled by the unusual nature of Wang Ba's proposal.
True Man Gai also revealed surprise before his countenance turned somber, refraining from outright dissent at once.
Yet, one among the Rogue Cultivators Wang Ba had rescued displayed unease and ventured to comment:
“True Man Taiyi, we're not reluctant to aid in opening Duanhai Cliff, but this cliff has endured across Realm Sea for innumerable ages. Countless Mahayana Cultivators attempted to shatter it without triumph; it could well embody Realm Sea's rules.”
“Though we boast numerous helpers, should it stem from Realm Sea’s rules, I'm afraid breaking it remains beyond us.”
True Man Gai's visage grew stern at these words, poised to contribute his view.
Wang Ba grinned and responded:
“I've uncovered a means to unlock Duanhai Cliff, though it calls for a multitude—at minimum six Mahayana Cultivators alongside many Rogue Cultivators…”
“Six Mahayana?”
True Man Gai's heart clenched.
He subtly surveyed the assembly without delay.
Himself, Bai Lechan, Lady Hua, Heavenly Demon Cave's Jiao, Heavenly Monarch Chao, Kong Zen—precisely six in total.
Including True Man Taiyi and Chaos Green Fox exceeded six Mahayana Cultivators already gathered.
Most telling, Wang Ba's assured tone stirred his heart to race.
His mind buzzed with notions, compelling him to question:
“How does True Man Taiyi intend to breach Duanhai Cliff?”
Wang Ba reflected briefly, casting his eyes over everyone.
True Man Gai perceived the signal and politely invited the Rogue Cultivators:
“To evade listeners, fellow daoists, let's retreat to Cloud Sky Realm for tea.”
The intrigued Rogue Cultivators curbed their eagerness and consented.
Zhang Bokai promptly guided them, embracing his position as Cloud Sky Sect Master.
Hence, all trailed Zhang Bokai, ascending into Cloud Sky Realm.
True Man Gai lightly tore a pocket in Cloud Sky Realm's membrane, where the group promptly settled.
Zhang Bokai needless to say directed Cloud Sky Sect disciples to offer tea.
With all settled in seats.
Wang Ba concealed nothing further, declaring straightforwardly:
“Six peerless treasures in my possession may serve as the key to Duanhai Cliff, requiring six Mahayana Cultivators to brandish them.”
“Exactly six are here now—the ideal moment… your opinions?”
Commanding supreme Dao Treasures demands skill; neither Innate Divine Demons nor Chaos Green Fox match Mahayana Cultivators versed in rules for unleashing the six Magic Wands' might. Crucially, if Mahayana can't bear Duanhai Cliff's rebound, the strain shifts to others.
Cultivators prove the handiest choice by far.
Having mulled it over, he opted to consult these six Mahayana Cultivators.
Rogue Cultivators leaned persuaded, Mahayana faces varied.
Not of Four Great Realms, Lady Hua and Heavenly Demon Cave Jiao knew scant of Duanhai Cliff, reacting tepidly by eyeing True Man Gai, deferring to their inviter.
Kong Zen stayed mute unusually, gaze inward serene, thoughts veiled.
Yan Poluo fretted glancing at Kong Zen, dreading folly, but his poise reassured her; inwardly she chided:
“After prior Buddha Lord's grace, how might Kong Zen Buddha Lord slight Buddha Realm? No cause for my fret.”
True Man Gai scowled pensively unlike disinterested Bai Lechan; eyes darting as he pondered.
The atmosphere hushed briefly.
Heavenly Monarch Chao confirmed his inkling—the treasures linked to Tongyou Six Candle Sticks likely. Stroking beard post-reflection, he volunteered:
“Include me.”
His remark pierced the quiet, evoking True Man Gai's shocked, baffled, irked gaze.
Joy lit Wang Ba's features as he faced Heavenly Monarch Chao.
He bowed earnestly at once:
“Gratitude, Master Chao.”
Heavenly Monarch Chao waved off, admitting freely:
“Not purely for you or Little Cang World—this Duanhai Cliff portal Supreme True Buddha dominates. Shattering it frees trapped cultivators opposite, sorely weakening Supreme True Buddha.”
Seeing Rogue Cultivators baffled, he detailed Duanhai Cliff-Supreme True Buddha ties and Sea of Chaos Realm status.
Wang Ba permitted it, discerning the support-building aim, gratitude deepening.
