Practice begins with immortality

At the same time, when the Eight Desolate Realm was busy, what was Wang Bai, the master of the realm, doing?

At this time, Wang Bai was devouring and refining Ji Xuanlong and Ye Xuanqing to advance the progress of Hunling Xuan Gong.

Another half a year passed, and Wang Bai finally digested the two of them. Including the previous Qianhuan Ancient Ancestor, this was the third tribulation-crossing being that Wang Bai had devoured.

"Well, not bad." Feeling his own improvement, Wang Bai nodded contentedly and said, "With three or five more powerful bloodlines like this, my Hunling Xuan Gong will be considered complete."

"But there's no need. Relying on the body of the furnace and the heritage of the Ji and Ye families, it's enough for me to achieve the great perfection of the Hunling Xuan Gong!"

"In addition, the size of my inner world has now reached 12,960 light years."

.......................

And when everything was settled, Wang Bai flashed and stepped into the cave world that once belonged to the Ye family.

At this moment, the cave world seemed particularly deserted and quiet, with no human figures in sight.

At the beginning, Wang Bai issued an order for Wuming to bring those people back and hand them over to various schools for careful training. You know, these people all have special bloodlines flowing through their bodies. If they spend a certain amount of time and resources to carefully cultivate them, they will definitely become a powerful force in the future.

As for Qing, he had already returned to the Eight Desolate Realm with Wuming and the others. Before leaving, he had revealed his intention to travel around the Eight Desolate Realm and appreciate the unique scenery everywhere.

So why did Wang Bai choose to return here?

This is mainly due to the mysterious old woman mentioned in the mussels.

The space surrounding each human refining furnace was tightly sealed by a variety of complex and powerful restrictions. Even for a cultivator proficient in the laws of space and with strength reaching the fusion stage, sneaking in quietly would be extremely difficult. This was even more difficult for Qing, who was only at the Spiritual Transformation stage at the time.

However, the old woman had actually managed to easily send Qing into the Ye family's forbidden area with just a magic talisman! This showed that the magic talisman technique she mastered was already extraordinary and far beyond the current era. It was no exaggeration to call it an "immortal talisman."

Afterwards, at the ruins of one of the Ye family's furnaces, Wuming had personally destroyed these harmful objects when he brought people here.

Nearby, Wang Bai discovered a trace of space. Relying on the Heavenly Monarch's Revelation Technique, Wang Bai found the coordinates of the place where this trace of space led.

"It seems like the entire Ye family has been groped by that old woman!"

With a hint of surprise, Wang Bai came to a mountain peak through this trace of space.

There is a small house at the foot of the mountain, with many bottles and jars inside.

Wang Bai took a look and found that it contained a kind of liquid medicine.

It was like the Iron Willow Dew that Qing had mentioned, but its efficacy was indeed more than a hundred times stronger than that of the Iron Willow Dew. Moreover, its medicinal effect was mild and long-lasting, and it could be said to melt in the mouth.

Afterwards, Wang Bai hid himself and waited quietly for the owner of the cabin to come back.

Three hours later, a tall and strong old woman with white hair flew down from the mountain. It seemed that her cultivation had reached the perfect state of spiritual transformation.

The old woman came to the hut as soon as she came down the mountain. She waved her hand and the void turned into a talisman, breaking the restriction in the house and entering it.

"A talisman formed purely from mana already possesses such power. Furthermore, this old woman is also proficient in various talisman techniques. Her attainments in the art of talismans are unparalleled and unrivaled in the world. It's no exaggeration to call her the supreme grandmaster of the art of talismans!"

"Not only that, this old woman also carries a trace of the rare bloodline of the ancient mythical bird Chongming Bird. In that case..."

Thinking of this, Wang Bai no longer hesitated. He immediately took off all his disguises and appeared in front of the old woman.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass here!" The old woman suddenly sensed a strange aura approaching and instinctively wanted to fight back.

However, just as she was about to make a move, she clearly sensed the unfathomable, vast, and powerful aura emanating from Wang Bo. Instantly, the old woman was horrified, knowing she was no match for him, and decisively gave up the idea of ​​attacking him.

The old woman quickly gathered her strength, clasped her hands together, and respectfully bowed to Wang Bo, saying, "I am Zou Wei, and I pay my respects to this venerable Lord! I wonder what you may have to offer me, my Lord?"

Wang Bai stared at the old woman with a sharp gaze and slowly asked, "Is your last name Zou? As far as I know, there is a Lianxu family in the Tianyu Realm with the same last name Zou."

The old woman nodded slightly and replied, "In reply to your Excellency, I am indeed from the Zou family, but I severed all ties with them many years ago."

"Then do you know a person named Ye Qing?"

"Your Majesty, I met this man thirty years ago. He clashed with me over the so-called issue of family honor. I saw that he was a rare kind person, so I allowed him to see the secrets of his Ye family."

"But I didn't expect him to actually destroy the human refining furnace. This is something I hadn't anticipated."

"My Lord, is he still alive?"

"Alive. Someone rescued him."

"That's good."

……

"I see you also have the bloodline of the Chongming Bird, and when I killed Ye Xuanqing, her double pupils opened. Those double pupils must have something to do with you."

"Ye Xuanqing is dead?" Hearing this, Zou Wei was stunned. She asked in disbelief, "Is that old witch really dead?"

"Of course, I killed that bastard myself. If you don't believe me, you can see this."

Wang Bo took out the Garuda glass heart and said to Zou Wei, "Now, can you believe it?"

"I believe it, I do. Thank you, sir, for avenging the murder of my husband and son!"

Zou Wei knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Bo. She had waited for this day for too long.

…………

Afterwards, through communication, Wang Bo learned about Zou Wei's past.

"I was born into the Zou family. Although I am a branch of the clan, I have shown great talent in the four arts of cultivation, especially in the art of talismans. Therefore, my treatment and status are no different from those of the main lineage."

"But because of my physique, I rarely interact with people of my age, and I don't have much in common with them."

"But after I broke through the Jindan stage, I met a cultivator who was skilled in formations, and that's who I call my husband. We had similar interests, so we became Taoist companions."

"Later, when we were in the Nascent Soul stage, my husband and I found a Chongming bird feather in a large cave. After extracting its essence and blood and refining it, we obtained the Chongming bird's bloodline."

"The double pupils of the Chongming Bird are said to possess the ability to see through the essence of all things. Therefore, those with double pupils possess an extraordinary level of understanding."

"Of course, the blood contained in just one feather isn't enough to grant my wife and I double pupils, but it has greatly improved our understanding."

"The one who was actually born with double pupils is our son, Shi Zhen."
