This Heaven-Stealing Rat Has Lived an Immensely Long Life!

"By the way, fellow Daoist, do you need my help with repairs?"

Lin Yunji said to Shi Mang.

"I won't need it here," Shi Mang declined.

The Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure are all rare treasures within the Primordial Expanse Universe.

The value of any one of these items is enough to make even the Supreme Primordial Unity fight tooth and nail for them.

Similarly, once Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure is damaged, repairing it is by no means easy.

Simply put, it needs to be slowly nurtured with Chaos Essence Qi, allowing it to gradually repair itself. This process may be extremely long.

A slightly more complex method requires a master skilled in the art of alchemy to use various rare and precious Chaos Materials to aid in the repair.

Even so, it will still take a long time.

Therefore, Shi Mang didn't want to trouble Lin Yunji.

Little did he know, repairing the Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure was not so complicated for Lin Yunji.

The Universe Furnace, encompassing the universe, refining all things!

All the mysteries of creation and refinement are included within it.

For Lin Yunji, repairing the Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure was too easy.

All you need to do is throw the damaged Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure into the Universe Furnace, provide it with enough essence, and then wait patiently.

It won't take too long for the Universe Furnace to restore the Primordial Expanse Supreme Treasure to its original state!

"Are you sure you don't need it?" Lin Yunji asked Shi Mang again.

"No need. You need to repair three treasures yourself, and I have three here. Take them and ask an old friend for help."

Shi Mang said, "That person is skilled in the art of creation and refinement, and often helps people repair their most precious treasures."

Since Shi Mang declined, Lin Yunji didn't say anything more.

After dealing with Chang Yanzi, Lin Yunji rested for a while before continuing their journey back the way they came.

When Lin Yunji returned to the Great Fault Line, several of the Primordial Wilderness Saints were already waiting there.

They returned early and simply set up their temple there to wait.

When Lin Yunji and the others returned, they did not deliberately conceal their presence.

The vast and boundless Supreme majesty enveloped everything, and the Primordial Wilderness saints in this Great Fault immediately noticed it.

"The Divine Venerable has returned!"

"Supreme Lin Yunji and the others have returned!"

In an instant, several Primordial Wilderness Sage came out to greet them.

"Fellow Lin Yunji! Nüwo Daoist Nuwa! All Supreme Beings!"

Among all the saints, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were the first to bow and say hello.

Lin Yunji smiled and returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute.

Shi Mang and You Han also bowed in greeting.

Lin Yunji addressed Zhen Yuanzi and the others as equals, Shi Mang and the others naturally gave Lin Yunji face as well.

Otherwise, the Sage would be nothing more than a junior disciple in their eyes.

"Will your journey be successful, everyone?"

Hongyun also spoke to Lin Yunji.

"It went fairly smoothly."

Lin Yunji said this, and then he recounted his encounter with Heavenly Venerable Fanti.

Upon hearing about the matter of Heavenly Venerable Fanti, the several Primordial Wilderness Sage were all astonished.

"To possess the past is to exist; in that case, wouldn't the Heavenly Venerable Fanti be immortal?!"

Among the several Primordial Wilderness Sage, Lu Ya couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

He attained sainthood after exchanging for the Jianmu Spirit Fruit through the Divine Net.

He was the last Golden Crow in the Primordial World, in charge of the Innate Fire Essence.

Whether used to assist in cultivation, or for alchemy and weapon crafting, the Innate Fire Essence is an excellent treasure.

This thing only exists on the Sun Star.

Moreover, the differentiated Innate Fire Essence needs the branches and leaves of the innate Fusang Spirit Root to be nourished; otherwise, it will quickly dissipate.

Both of these things are currently under Lu Ya's control.

So he sold Innate Fire Essence on the Divine Net for a long time, accumulating a lot of Exchange Points. When Lin Yunji put the Jianmu Spirit Fruit on the exchange list, he exchanged it immediately.

"More or less." Lin Yunji.

"Indeed, only those who reach the realm of the Celestial Venerable are truly immortal and indestructible."

"It's truly unbelievable that even after Yuanling was killed, he could be reborn from the dead," Shi Mang said.

The primordial spirit is the foundation of a cultivator. The physical body is merely a shell that carries the primordial spirit.

Once the primordial spirit is completely destroyed, it is as if it has no place to be buried.

However, for the Heavenly Venerable Fanti, the existence of the primordial spirit is no longer of any concern.

As long as he existed, he is immortal.

But the past exists, which means it's already in the past. Who can erase the past?!

In this way, he has indeed achieved true immortality.

"By the way, why are you back so early?"

Lin Yunji asked Zhen Yuanzi and Lu Ya.

They had agreed on a time before coming to the Ancient Realm.

They can explore freely for 100,000 years, but they must return in time after that.

And now, it has only been less than 50,000 years.

Lin Yunji and his group's trip went quite smoothly.

It took only 50,000 years to travel all the way to the forbidden zone and back.

"We were lucky; after making some gains, we returned," Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile.

"Oh?" Lin Yunji a little curious.

"Hongyun and I were a bit lucky to find a Daoist temple left behind by a Supreme," Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile.

"Supreme dojo that has never been discovered?!"

Shi Mang was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but interject.

"The Supreme temples in this area should have all been discovered by now."

Zhen Yuanzi and his group set off from the Great Fault, an area that had long been explored by countless powerful beings from the Source Realm.

Given their Sage level of Daoxing, they shouldn't be able to go very far.

"The Shi Mang Supreme Mirror is indeed a Supreme temple that has been discovered."

However, we did find something very special.

As Zhen Yuanzi said this, he didn't keep anyone in suspense. With a wave of his sleeve, a figure flew out from his sleeve and landed on the ground.

At this moment, Lin Yunji and the others could see clearly that it was actually a Chaos Spirit Beast.

This Chaos spirit beast didn't seem to be very intelligent. It looked like a dog and a rat at the same time, and it was very affectionate towards Zhen Yuanzi, circling around him as soon as it appeared.

"It's actually a Heaven-Stealing Rat?" Shi Mang exclaimed in surprise.

"This is a type of Chaos spirit beast that is quite common in the Source Realm. They are good at concealing their aura, have low innate intelligence, but have excellent luck."

Therefore, many people in the Source Realm like to keep them as pets, hoping to increase their good fortune. However, the effect is generally mediocre.

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, this beast must have been abandoned here after someone from the Source Realm came in," Shi Mang said.

But the next moment, as he looked at the Heaven-Stealing Rat, his gaze sharpened slightly. "Something's not right!"

He reached out and grabbed the Heaven-Stealing Rat that was clinging to Zhen Yuanzi's leg, then examined it closely.

"Hiss! This beast! This beast has probably lived for hundreds of billions of years!"

Such a lifespan suggests it was a being from before the destruction of the Ancient Realm!
