Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 1537 - 87: The Cause

However, he did not continue to question it, instead, he asked:

“If I can assist senior, that would be a cause for rejoicing, but what if I can’t?”

Xuan Yuanzi said with a light chuckle:

“If you can’t, then that would be normal. Otherwise, why would I have struggled to this day, still unable to break free?”

He shook his head slightly:

“You’re neither the first person to come here nor the first person I’ve taken notice of. It’s just that after so many years, hope after hope, disappointment after disappointment…”

His tone was filled with sighs.

Wang Ba couldn’t help asking:

“Why doesn’t senior simply abandon this physical body, and with the True Spirit reincarnate to cultivate in the Little Cang World? Or why not just take possession of another? Given senior’s realm, possession should not be so difficult, right?”

A bitter smile surfaced on Xuan Yuanzi’s face for the first time.

He countered with a question:

“Do you really think I haven’t tried? Or do you think I harbor any good and moral virtues typical of cultivators?”

“All these are but illusions to me. Over the years, I have tried countless times, but this body is too formidable, trapping my True Spirit thoroughly within, leaving no escape. No matter what I tried, the result remained the same… It’s not just you; not even the Thunder Tribulation from this world can affect me in the slightest.”

“If I could possess another Spirit Beast, or if my True Spirit could flee into the Little Cang World, why would I remain trapped here till now?”

Wang Ba went silent.

“Senior has no other methods? What about reverting to a Dao Seed?”

“Revert to a Dao Seed? Heh, it’s not that I am afraid to do so, but once I revert to a Dao Seed, everything no longer concerns me. My painstaking plans will merely become a wedding dress for someone else, I must admit, I am reluctant.”

Xuan Yuanzi responded frankly.

Seeing Wang Ba’s hesitant expression, he spoke again:

“Do you perhaps believe there is deception involved, or are you doubting your capability to undertake the task?”

Wang Ba fell silent momentarily, and then said candidly:

“I will reiterate my point: even unified cultivators are helpless against senior, how could I be any different?”

Xuan Yuanzi laughed in response:

“Why must you be so humble? With your foundation, if one day you step into Immortal Ascension and integrate this Clone into one, I dare not say you could rival Class VI, but at least within Class V, you can be invincible.”

“Setting aside the few remaining incomplete Class VI in this realm, and those damn gods born from heaven and earth, who else in this realm could stand shoulder to shoulder with you?”

“If even you can’t do it, then all I can do is wait for this world to turn upside down and wait for a new fate to emerge.”

Wang Ba’s frowned slightly, speaking gravely:

“Senior may be thinking too positively. With the current Heaven and Earth Decline, at most, the Nascent Soul could be tolerated. To step into Immortal Ascension, I fear it would be incredibly difficult.”

Yet Xuan Yuanzi merely smiled:

“Is that so?”

He chose not to expose Wang Ba’s words, and looking up at the cold currents above, he spoke leisurely:

“That is not for me to know. I am only aware that in the near future, perhaps another great disaster will come.”

“With this catastrophe, the heavens will turn and the earth will flip, the sun and the moon will hang reversed. If it is surmounted, blessings will be upon the world. If not, it will be a calamity where no egg remains unbroken under the overthrown nest.”

“A great disaster?”

Wang Ba was shaken.

The catastrophic changes of heaven and earth had only just passed; how could there be another great disaster looming?

He couldn’t help but doubt whether the other party was using scare tactics.

But the impression that the other party gave him did not seem like one to rely on such tricks to intimidate.

His heart became increasingly heavy.

Is this world no longer conducive to living?

In the past, he had never heard of so many calamities and disasters; why do they seem nonstop since his time?

Could it be because the sky and earth are tipping, thus calamities frequently emerge?

Immediately, he extended his fingers to calculate.

But he found that the fortunes ahead were muddled and indistinct, completely obscured.

He could only vaguely sense the leakage of malevolent and disastrous Qi, as if, indeed, a great calamity was descending.

Yet he was wholly unable to discern the origin of this reckoning, the reason for its emergence.

Moreover, he knew not the when and where, or who or what would be involved.

His thoughts stirred, and he turned his gaze to Xuan Yuanzi:

“May I know if senior has any guidance?”

Xuan Yuanzi shook his head:

“If I knew, why would I still be stuck here?”

Seeing Wang Ba’s worried expression, he immediately elaborated:

“All I know is that this catastrophe may be related to what lies beyond this realm. When the time comes, it may either be the moment I free myself, or it might be the day I sleep with this realm.”

“The key to this calamity lies not with me, but with you, and the beings of the Little Cang World.”

“So, whether you are willing to help me or not, you will inevitably face this trial.”

Xuan Yuanzi spoke thus.

Wang Ba became silent.

He felt a sense of turbulence and heaviness in his heart that he had not experienced in a long time.

In the previous catastrophe, he had his master, Sect Master Shao, Elder Xun, Elder Du, and a host of other predecessors shielding them. But now, who could hold up the sky for the Wanxiang Sect and the beings of this realm?

Is it the Elders within the sect, or himself?
