Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 1605 - 109 Yin and Yang Talisman_3

He simply stood silently in midair, watching the seawater below ceaselessly wash onto the shore day after day, listening to the crash of the waves...

His gaze appeared dazed, bewildered... until it gradually cleared and transformed back into icy composure.

However, this coldness now seemed subtly different from the deliberate façade of before.

"Han Yanzi."

Shen Fu lightly clenched the red wooden talisman, which promptly disappeared into his palm.

He looked to the northwest direction, his eyes flickering with steadfast determination.

Without hesitation, he flew toward the northwest.

...

Wanfa Peak.

Inside the small house.

"Senior Brother, you’ve just entered Immortal Ascension Stage, and now you’re heading out again?"

Bu Chan couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

Yet with age and experience, this furrowing failed to mar his appearance, instead adding charming depth to his expression.

Wang Ba smiled and gently embraced Bu Chan. Though Bu Chan initially struggled, under Wang Ba’s strong arms, he quickly settled down.

But his eyes still carried a deep tenderness and glimmer of tears:

"The Sect has so many people, so many in Immortal Ascension Stage, and you’re merely the Deputy Sect Master—why is it always you who risks life and limb?"

"You’re just some lousy Spirit Chicken breeder; you’ve already built your Taoist Field—what more do you want?"

"Earlier, after you finished Crossing Tribulation, I heard them say that if Hui Yunzi Ancestor hadn’t intervened, Han Yanzi from the primitive Demonic Sect would have already..."

At the perilous part of his words, Bu Chan’s eyes displayed even more fear.

He couldn’t help but tighten his grip on Wang Ba’s arm.

Wang Ba, though surprised, felt a rare sense of warmth stir within him.

Their relationship had not waned over the years, but after becoming an old married couple, Bu Chan often jested at his expense. Displays of genuine emotion like today had grown scarce.

He understood, however, that today’s situation had been exceptionally dangerous. First came the World Eater from the outer realm, then Han Yanzi—either threat alone could spell instant death and destruction if not handled with care. No wonder the usually composed Bu Chan was so deeply affected.

So, he simply smiled and drew him closer, saying nothing further.

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning just because you’re keeping silent."

Bu Chan rested his cheek against Wang Ba’s chest, murmuring:

"I know I can’t stop you. You’ve never listened to me anyway... I just hope you remember, Wanfa Peak still has a junior sister always waiting for you."

"Junior Sister."

Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel a pang of affection.

"Don’t speak..."

Her delicate face slightly lifted, almond eyes misty, lips parted softly.

And once more, they indulged in a passion that neither could resist.

The gentle embrace is, indeed, the hero’s final resting place.

But Wang Ba never considered himself a hero, making the allure of such tender moments even harder to resist.

He took the time to consolidate the gains from successfully Crossing Tribulation and seized the opportunity to savor every moment with Bu Chan.

Time was perhaps meaningless to him, yet the moments he shared now would remain the most cherished experiences of his life.

He always kept this in mind.

Pearl Dungeon.

Wang Ba gazed at the hundreds of newly established Spirit Chicken breeding grounds and giant elephant farms, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Seems the scale needs further expansion."

The Taiyi Dojo was still in its most basic state. Though it had absorbed fragments of Dao Intention scattered by a few World Eaters, which had provided considerable benefits to the dojo, it was still far from what was needed.

At the dojo’s core remained the Dao Domain, but the required quantity wasn’t as staggering anymore.

After all, when the Dao Domain extracts resources from the outer realm, it is nourished simultaneously by the Realm Membrane and outer realm resources, growing stronger over time.

This principle applied to the Immortal Ascension Stage, but beyond that stage, the demand for Dao Domain quantity would surge dramatically due to the Void Refining Stage requirements.

The Void Refining dojo would need Class II Dao Domains. If quality fell short, quantity had to compensate. Thankfully, Wang Ba didn’t fear increasing supply.

He only needed to proceed according to plan with steady cultivation.

"Once the dojo matters are handled, the next step will be the divine beast cultivation programs."

Wang Ba looked at the five divine beasts before him, as well as the Wu Monkey King, whose flesh had healed but whose aura remained somewhat exhausted, deep in thought.

Erya had returned to the Fire Paulownia Tree, the White Tiger lazily lounged nearby, Ding Twenty-two wrapped itself around him, while Elephant Forty-Nine looked at him pitifully, waiting for feed.

The only exception was Sanjin, perched alone on Spirit Chicken Mountain, looking blankly at the shattered puppet of Spirit Poultry it had toyed with for years.

No matter how skillfully it tried, pressing its talons and beak to piece together the fragments, it could not reassemble them.

Turning its head desperately, it sought help from the other divine beasts, but its loud, flustered ’caws’ only earned looks of mild disdain.

Finally, Sanjin could only turn back to the scattered parts, imagining how wonderful it would be to have a companion identical to itself.

As the thought took shape, the golden flames on its body appeared to move of their own will, separating from its form and transforming into a three-legged Golden Crow before its eyes.

Sanjin’s eyes sparkled instantly. Fluttering its wings, it leapt forward to play with its new companion.

Wang Ba calmly watched these divine beasts, nurtured with such care and effort.

To be fair, whether it was Erya, Ding Twenty-two, Sanjin, Elephant Forty-Nine, the White Tiger, or the Wu Monkey King, their progress far exceeded the normal Spirit Beasts within Little Cang World.

Even if Elder Du Wei were resurrected, it was unlikely his cultivation speeds could surpass those of Wang Ba’s divine beasts.

It wasn’t just the Sect providing him limitless resources but also Wang Ba himself, having traversed Fenglin Continent, Huangji Continent, and numerous other regions, mastering top-grade Beast Taming Techniques. Over three hundred years, countless Spirit Beasts had served as experiments, honing his understanding of taming both in theory and practice. It was unlikely even three millennia of Little Cang World history could match his expertise.

Yet all things pale in comparison.

When measured against Fu—missing for four centuries only to reappear suddenly at Class VI—or that one fleeting glimpse of what seemed to be Fanming before vanishing, his divine beasts appeared lackluster.

In terms of bloodlines alone, there wasn’t much to justify their impact.

After all, Fu started with a mixed-blood lineage—not an innate divine beast bloodline—ranking only at the Second Layer among Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard grades.

The First Layer belonged solely to the Thousand-eyed Dark Lizard.

Having nurtured it to top-grade Class IV, Wang Ba still faced difficulty breaking the threshold.

Of the five divine beasts, Erya bore the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, Sanjin carried the Golden Crow lineage, Ding Twenty-two was slightly weaker with a common innate divine beast bloodline, Elephant Forty-Nine had transformed from an Innate Divine Demon—the sole specimen in the Realm Sea—and the White Tiger had evolved from a Hybrid White Tiger to nearly pure blooded.

Fu once paled in comparison to them.

Since then, however, it had gained the Azure Dragon Bloodline, completely changing its narrative.

"Outer Realm..."

Wang Ba mused silently.

Fu had ventured into the Outer Realm by accident, undergoing a metamorphosis.

If that bird truly was Fanming, then its transformation might also stem from the Outer Realm.

With this thought, a figure appeared fleetingly in his mind.

"It seems it’s time for another meeting with him."

With that decision made, Wang Ba, accompanied by the Ice Daoist and Wu Monkey King, finally stepped out of Wanfa Peak...
