Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

His gaze grew cold and solemn as he let out a low cry:

"I ask everyone to step aside."

The three Patriarchs below hastily retreated.

Having said that, Daoist Yuanci's

ash-colored Dao Domain burst open in an instant, enveloping the Formation and swiftly pressing downward.

The thick, almost viscous Yuanci within the Formation was quickly absorbed upon contact with the ash-colored Dao Domain.

For the massive amounts of Yuanci within the Formation, this absorption was minimal.

But for Daoist Yuanci, who still hadn't fully crossed the threshold of Immortal Ascension, it provided a relentless torrent of tremendous power.

To use Yuanci to counterpressure the Membrane Eye!

Whoosh!

Accompanied by the rapid compression of the Formation,

Daoist Yuanci once again plunged into the sea.

Unlike before, this time, with the aid of the Formation, he could fully perceive every change below.

He could even faintly sense the astonishing battle taking place outside the realm through the Yuanci Membrane Eye.

Fu was clearly no match for the mysterious monster.

However, it stubbornly stood its ground by the Membrane Eye, not showing the slightest intention to dodge, obviously to buy time for Daoist Yuanci's escape.

And yet, it could have left.

Seeing this scene, a resolute look flashed in Daoist Yuanci's eyes.

He let out a low cry.

The ash-colored Dao Domain, carrying the abundant Yuanci within the dark golden Formation, rapidly neutralized the Yuanci surrounding the Membrane Eye.

Under such counteraction, the Yuanci Membrane Eye began to heal swiftly.

In merely the blink of an eye, the Membrane Eye at the seabed quickly closed in.

Initially spanning several miles across, but now shrinking to a few hundred yards, a few dozen yards...

Until it was merely around thirty yards across.

Daoist Yuanci, however, suddenly ceased his actions.

The three Patriarchs looked up in astonishment at Daoist Yuanci.

The White Clothed Child, who flew over in a hurry, asked anxiously:

"Why have you stopped?"

Without answering, Daoist Yuanci slapped his Storage Treasure.

Immediately, seven array flags of the Heavenly Cyan Void Breaking Array flew out.

Everyone was puzzled by his actions, but since only Daoist Yuanci knew how to deal with Yuanci, they could only watch him as he did so.

However, in the next moment, to everyone's surprise, Daoist Yuanci suddenly took a step forward, entering the dark golden Formation himself!

The seven array flags of the Heavenly Cyan Void Breaking Array then fell around him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The seven array flags were planted in the seabed around the Membrane Eye.

Instantly isolating this spot from the external space.

The White Clothed Child was incredibly shocked:

"Wang, what are you doing?"

The three Patriarchs were also full of confusion.

Yet facing everyone's surprise and doubt, Daoist Yuanci's expression remained exceptionally calm as he said in a deep voice:

"To the Patriarchs, I will wait here for the return of the Spirit Beast."

"Wait for the return of the Spirit Beast?"

The Dustless Patriarch's brow furrowed slightly: "Young friend, I understand your feelings right now, but as long as the Yuanci Membrane Eye remains unsealed, there will never be peace in the Little Cang World."

Daoist Yuanci's expression stayed indifferent:

"To the Patriarchs, I have merged my Dao Domain with the Membrane Eye here; it will soon heal and will not affect the beings of the Little Cang World."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked!

"Young friend!"

"This... you plan to be forever stationed here?!"

The Dustless Patriarch's face showed astonishment:

"Why would you take such a drastic step!"

The Nine-hole Patriarch, Greedy Kung Patriarch, and all the Cultivators present were equally astonished and conflicted.

Their eyes revealed not only confusion and bewilderment but also complexity and admiration.

Daoist Yuanci said with a light smile:

"As for my Dao-heart, if no one lets me down, I shall let no one down."

In the past, I missed my chance with Fu.

Now, Fu had finally appeared, not only was he not unfamiliar to him, but even stood before the realm membrane to shield him.

Even though Fu was merely a Spirit Beast, how could his heart bear it?

Alas, beyond the membrane lay great peril, and should he venture forth, it would ultimately be to no avail.

"I shall wait here for the return of my Spirit Beast, and also use this opportunity to continue refining myself through the Membrane Eye, I implore the Ancestors to indulge me."

Upon hearing Daoist Yuanci's words, the four Ancestors looked at each other, all remaining silent.

Nine-hole Patriarch shook his head helplessly:

"With your talent, if it weren't for the decline of the Heaven and Earth in this realm, achieving Immortal Ascension would be a simple feat for you, why must you... Sigh!"

Daoist Yuanci did not speak, merely offering a faint smile.

Each person has their own aspirations, and moreover, his main form remained unaffected.

Before long, the healing of the Yuanci Membrane Eye commenced once again below.

The figure of Daoist Yuanci gradually began to merge with this place.

The aura emanating from his body grew increasingly distant, as if separating from this world.

Upon witnessing this scene, the joy in the hearts of the four Ancestors due to having resolved the Yuanci calamity also dissipated considerably.

They gave a slight shake of their heads and sighed.

Then, surprisingly, they proceeded to pay their respects to Daoist Yuanci.

Afterwards, they returned to where An Changshou, Qu Shentong and the others were.

Daoist Yuanci serenely accepted this.

Qu Shentong and others, across the Heavenly Cyan Void Breaking Array, offered complicated salutations towards him.

No matter what Daoist Yuanci's motivations were, after all, he was the greatest contributor to the eradication of the calamity of Yuanci.

All of Jin, and even all beings of Fenglin Continent, would remember this kindness.

Subsequently, they left one after another.

Now that the calamity of Yuanci had been resolved, the residual Yuanci in the outskirts still needed attention; they must be dealt with before they could harm Jin.

After the crowd had left.

The turbulence of the sea gradually subsided.

The sky above the Eightfold Sea, after a long time, was pierced by strands of sunlight.

Only within a ten-zhang radius corresponding to where Daoist Yuanci was, the sky remained overcast and dark.

Daoist Yuanci glanced around, listening to the noises beyond the membrane, growing farther and fainter, until barely perceptible.

He sighed softly, then sat down cross-legged on the seabed and slowly closed his eyes.

...

Wanxiang Sect.

Wanfa Peak.

Inside Pearl Dungeon.

Wang Ba stood atop Spirit Chicken Mountain.

Gazing at a massive chicken egg in front of him, cracked open, with strange patterns marking it.

And within the shell, a wet, fluffy, milk-yellow little chick with, curiously, three legs, gazing back at him, tilting its head in wonder.

His feelings were almost as astounded as that of the peacock and the One-legged Golden Crow beside the chick.

He couldn't help but glance at the peacock that stood petrified as if it had lost all its love for life and the One-legged Golden Crow, uncertain whether to feel joy or concern, as well as the nonchalant Jia 15 who had come over out of curiosity, looking every bit the bystander.

For a moment, he didn't know what kind of expression to wear.

"Should I call this a Three-Legged Chicken or a Three-Legged Crow?"

"In any case, it's definitely unrelated to this peacock."

His eyes, shimmering with spiritual light, caught sight of the soaring golden brilliance atop the Three-Legged Chick's head.

Wang Ba almost didn't need to look to guess that the bloodline of this three-legged chick was surely that of a divine beast.

He couldn't help but take a glance at Jia 15.

It must be said that this old creature brought him far too many surprises.

First, there was Erya, with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline.

And now, a Three-Legged Chick, most likely related to the Golden Crow Bloodline.

Jia 15 was on the verge of becoming an Ancestor to divine beasts, breeding divine creatures.

The only concern troubling him was that despite Jia 15's hard work mating with so many Spirit Chickens recently, none of the eggs that hatched had any organs of Dao Intention.

"What exactly is missing here?"

"Rank, breed... as far as I can tell, none of these should be an issue."

Wang Ba was immensely troubled.

At that moment, his Spirit Rhinoceros Stone vibrated slightly.

Mana infused within, he soon furrowed his brow, a bit puzzled:

"Martial Uncle Qi, are you about to give me another surprise?"
