Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2352: 85: Homecoming (Part 3)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
Just as he opened his mouth to respond, a sudden realization hit him, forcing him to clamp his lips shut in haste. With a flicker of unease, his eyes darted toward the swirling vortex in the Realm Sea beneath them. Noticing it remained unchanged, he let out a quiet breath of relief inside.
“Such carelessness! I nearly invited disaster moments ago!”
The unsightly Cultivator clad in white armor caught only the beginning of his mutter and wondered what came next.
“Senior Qian, what if what?”
The youth in purple armor cleared his throat awkwardly before replying.
“Nothing at all, simply stay focused.”
A knowing light dawned on the ugly Cultivator in white armor, who grinned in response.
“With a senior like you watching over us… Oh, on that note, is that one still in closed-door cultivation? When do we launch our assault on the Immortal Pass?”
“That one?”
A brief surprise crossed the Purple-armored youth's face, but understanding soon followed, turning his demeanor grave. His once casual stance straightened instinctively, and he lowered his voice to speak.
“Probably… That one's position is so exalted that only a handful in the realm might know if they've ended their seclusion. Yet, storming the Immortal Pass isn't solely about their emergence; it hinges also on the three camps amassing sufficient power.”
The solemn look on the Purple-armored youth's face, laced with deeper respect than even for the Limp Half-Immortal, made the ugly Cultivator in white armor grow equally grave, nodding with a touch of sorrow.
“What a shame I haven't had the honor of beholding that Taoist Master's grace firsthand.”
His words drew a soft chuckle from the Purple-armored youth.
“No need to fret; an opportunity will surely arise…”
While uttering those words, a jolt raced through his heart. On reflex, he glanced below, only to freeze as his expression twisted in shock!
The Realm Sea vortex, perfectly normal just instants before, began to swell without warning!
Beyond that, the whirlpool's inner currents spun at a visibly quicker pace.
It felt to him like an entity on the vortex's far side was widening this gateway, bridging worlds to reach them!
“Didn't they claim the Realm Sea vortex was on the verge of sealing? How is anyone still crossing through?!”
“Is it possible… could my words have cursed it once more?!”
Right then, the Purple-armored youth's features paled amid rising fury and haste, though his vast experience let him regain composure swiftly. Acting on instinct, he seized a Messaging Magical Device and swiftly reported the strange occurrence.
Even as a Refining Void Cultivator, the ugly Cultivator in white armor struggled to keep steady, his eyes revealing the dread churning within.
Though stationed here with scant details, they understood this spot linked to realms beyond the Sea of Chaos Realm, controlled at its far end by foes. With the Realm Sea vortex acting up so abruptly, enemies from outside the Sea of Chaos Realm might soon descend!
This thought sent an icy shiver racing through him!
“Snap out of it! I've alerted Taoist Master Chonghua and the Vajra Realm Master; I'll hold the watch here…”
The Purple-armored youth spoke with steady resolve and haste.
Yet even as his words trailed off, his visage darkened.
The Realm Sea vortex beneath them fully unfurled, and in that very instant, a verdant glow emerged gracefully from its depths!
Reacting without delay, the Purple-armored youth grasped his twin-hammer Dao Treasure, launching them with deceptive slowness that belied their speed toward the green light!
At that juncture, the green light scattered, unveiling a green-robed form hovering in the air.
Confronting the incoming twin-hammer Dao Treasure, the figure made no move to evade, merely arching a brow in mild astonishment.
The hammers struck him, but they vanished like stones dropped into endless depths, yielding no resistance whatsoever.
Still, beholding that well-known, tranquil silhouette, the Purple-armored youth drew in a sharp, stunned breath.
“T-Taoist Master?!”
The green-robed figure turned his gaze upon him then, offering a warm smile tinged with approval.
“White Hair, in more than two centuries, you've truly advanced considerably.”
