The Fiendish Nascent Soul Splits Its Spirit; the Northern Spirit Saint Son Schemes!

Ancient Human Immortal Palace, the scene behind the curtain remained blurry, as if separated from another world.

Chen Dengming had wondered if behind the curtain Cultivation World beyond the Four Realms.

The old man who once used the evil spirit of the first ancestor of the Wonderful Sound Sect as a pawn doesn't seem to be from within the Four Regions.

For now, he can only speculate. The Sha Star may know the truth, but this fellow villager may not be friendly.

He had tried before, but he couldn't get through the curtain to the other side.

Perhaps in the future, when he becomes stronger or receives more of the Daoist tradition, he will have the opportunity to pass through the curtain and see the world behind it.

But now

Chen Dengming had just dealt with the Sha Star's Foundation Establishment spirit on the stone pillar outside the hall. Standing outside the gate of the Ancient Human Immortal Palace, he stared directly at the Sha Star's spirit on the first stone pillar inside the hall.

When fellow villagers meet, their eyes light up.

The Sha Star spirit of the Golden Core on the first stone pillar emerged coldly, standing like a solitary peak, its figure majestic and imposing, its hands behind its back.

His eyes gleamed with sharpness, like Divine Weapons, and locked eyes with Chen Dengming, their intense Mental Will clashing fiercely in the void.

For the Western Regions Devil Cultivators...

The Sha Star Dongfang Huayuan is no longer a person, no longer an ordinary cultivator, but Venerable Lord, a demon god, with countless people willing to follow him fanatically.

However, this Venerable Lord rarely took a liking to others.

Even Chen Dengming felt that the burly, black-clad Sha Star opposite him exuded a sinister aura that chilled him to the bone.

But as he interacted with the other party more and clashed with them more, he gradually became indifferent. With his Spiritual Realm, he would no longer be easily intimidated by the other party.

Suddenly, a message flashed in the eyes of the Sha Star, and he transmitted a voice through his mind.

"You've come many times already, and this time you've finally broken through to the Golden Core stage. This kind of cultivation speed is truly disappointing."

Chen Dengming was surprised. This time, the Sha Star spirit was different. It possessed more intelligence and was not like a rigid and inflexible NPC in a game. It was more lively.

Could it be that after the last incident involving evil spirits, the Sha Star returned to Nanxun, or in some way, amplified the power of the spirits scattered throughout this place?

His eyes shone brightly, unmoved. He retorted sarcastically while probing, "You're not much better. You've cultivated for a hundred years, yet you haven't even left the Four Inner Domain. You're still stuck here stirring up trouble."

The Sha Star's eyes flashed, and he said calmly, "Are you trying to provoke me, trying to get me to reveal what happens beyond the Four Domains? Are you asking me why I don't leave the Four Domains?"

Before Chen Dengming could respond, he continued with his hands behind his back, "The Four Realms may not be any better. I haven't even fully acquired the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage yet, so why the rush to leave? But you, it seems you really want to go out?"

Surprisingly, this Sha Star and brute didn't rush to attack upon meeting; instead, he began to communicate.

Chen Dengming couldn't help but become interested and shook his head, saying, "Of course I want to go out. You've turned the Four Regions into complete chaos. I've almost fallen victim to the Western Region Devil Cultivator several times. I don't even have a peaceful environment to cultivate. If I can't afford to offend you, can't I at least avoid you?"

"Hide?"

The Sha Star sneered, mocking, "Aren't you being too naive? Do you really think war only happens within the Four Inner Domain, and not outside of them?"

As long as you are still cultivating, or even as long as you are alive, you will have to face the competition for these resources and the struggle of human hearts. How can you avoid them by simply running away?

The fact that you're still thinking about how to avoid it proves you're not strong or mature enough. You should be like me, becoming the one in control of everything. If anyone should be avoiding you, it should be others avoiding you, not you avoiding others.

Chen Dengming shrugged. "It's those high-sounding principles again! You're still as domineering and arrogant as ever, but if you want me to be like you, that's impossible."

However, from what you said, I can see that you stirred up the war in order to control the situation in the four regions, to make them fall into chaos and follow your arrangements. So far, it seems that you have succeeded.

However, I'm curious: since you left a part of your mind here to prevent me from obtaining the Dao Scripture, it proves you didn't want me to get it. Since you already knew of my existence, why did you let it go unchecked?

"With your strength, if you truly wish to prevent me from obtaining the Dao Scripture, even if I were within the Longevity Sect, I wouldn't be able to escape it."

"Who said I don't want you to obtain the Dao scripture?"

The Sha Star sneered.

Chen Dengming was stunned. He looked at the second stone pillar in the hall and said, "Then I'll go in and get the Dao Scriptures now. Don't stop me. I'll only take a dozen or so this time."

The Daoist inscription on the first stone pillar was stolen by him last time through trickery.

Now his only option is to defeat the Sha Star's Golden Core avatar, bypass the Sha Star's Nascent Soul avatar, and obtain the Daoist inscription on the second stone pillar.

However, this difficulty was clearly as challenging as, or even greater than, the difficulty he had faced when he was Foundation Establishment and trying to surpass the Golden Core and Divine Transformation of the Sha Star to obtain the Dao Texts.

The Sha Star raised his fist, then pointed with another finger at the other two divine projections, grinning, "Defeat me, him, and him, and this entire hall is yours."

Chen Dengming rolled his eyes. "So, you, a dignified Venerable Lord, speak like..."

The Sha Star sneered, "Watch your attitude. I gave you the opportunity to come into contact with the Heart Inheritance because you not only gained my approval, but also the approval of the Heart Inheritance the Human Immortal Hall."

Do you think that anyone who comes into contact with Daoist texts can access the lineage?

It is precisely because of your special status that I am willing to give you this opportunity, but that is not a reason for you to act recklessly.

You no longer have the ability to protect too much of the inherited power. The reason I'm restraining you is to make you realize your limitations. Take only what you are capable of; taking too much might not be a good thing."

"Oh?"

Chen Dengming suddenly recalled the Wonderful Sound Sect and other sects that had once surrounded and killed the Sha Star, as well as the evil spirit and the old man behind it.

Could it be that this Sha Star is actually doing this for his own good?

"I almost fell for this brute's manipulative tactics. We're not related, and given his personality, how could he possibly be willing to play the role of my protector?"

There might be some ulterior motive behind it.

Chen Dengming's gaze sharpened, his aura began to rise, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"Words are useless; let's see who's the real deal."

"You seem very confident?"

The Sha Star fixed his gaze on Chen Dengming, Chen Dengming met his gaze without flinching.

A hint of approval flashed in the eyes of the Sha Star. Before he could speak, Chen Dengming let out a long howl. His eyes were as solid as a ten-thousand-pound hammer, piercing through the Sha Star's gaze and striking the depths of his heart.

The Divine Ability Dharma Form - The Saint Heart Spirit Refining Art!

In terms of spirit and Spiritual Realm, Chen Dengming has always been superior to his peers.

Even the Sha Star Dongfang Huayuan was no exception. He even admired him, for the other party knew that he was the Heart Inheritance, yet still dared to face him and compete in spirit and mind at the same level.

It's hard to tell whether this is excessive self-confidence or arrogance.

In that instant, the Sha Star felt as if he had been transported to a dark space.

Chen Dengming's gaze, like more than a dozen pairs of eyes, suddenly opened in the dark space and focused on us.

In an instant, it was as if night had turned into day, with more than a dozen suns appearing in the sky, illuminating the entire world. A powerful, searing pain swept over me, scorching my very soul.

My heart is the heart of Heaven.

Close your eyes and it's dark; open your eyes and it's daytime!

Even within the Ancient Human Immortal Palace, where the Heavenly Eye of the Immortal Celestial Lineage could not be mobilized, Chen Dengming's Spiritual Realm still allowed him to infuse his mental thoughts into his spiritual offensive, thus achieving his goal.

In that instant, the Sha Star grunted, quickly gathering his strength and focusing his mind. A look of undisguised surprise flashed across his calm face.

He did indeed intend to test the other party's control over the power of the Heart Inheritance, and to probe the other party's current Spiritual Realm.

Unexpectedly, she was so quickly outmaneuvered by the other party on a psychological level.

However, he has a natural love for challenges and adventures, and he feels that the pressure and danger of this moment are the most exciting and thrilling. Once he breaks through the impasse, everything will be clear.

A blinding golden light suddenly burst forth from his body, and his highly concentrated Divine Sense power spread out like ripples, resisting and expelling Chen Dengming's spiritual invasion.

With a sharp shout, Chen Dengming seized the opportunity to open the gap in the Sha Star's mind. Suddenly, a dazzling silver light of Dao power condensed on his body, and his bones crackled and popped in succession.

Human Immortal Physique!

He suddenly grew taller, his muscles bulging, like a small Silver Light giant. He conjured Soul Shocking Silk in his hand, which shot out in an instant like a torrent of Silver Light, crashing into the Sha Star.

"Bring it on!!"

The Sha Star roared, releasing a powerful golden core aura. His entire body was enveloped in a subtle Golden Light, exuding majesty and domineering power. He was like a calm, unfathomable pool that suddenly transformed into a surging waterfall, forcefully breaking free from Chen Dengming's mental domain.

A pair of hands transformed into countless claw shadows, reaching out to grab Chen Dengming from a distance.

In an instant, a series of crackling sounds rang out in the ancient hall, causing people's minds to tremble. A fierce and domineering aura enveloped Chen Dengming's soul in the blink of an eye.

The overwhelming pressure made it impossible for Chen Dengming to move an inch, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on him, and the claw shadows were like layers of mountains pressing down on him.

This is the same old trick.

Chen Dengming felt an immense and unparalleled Mental Power violently crash into his Divine Sense, causing ripples in his mental world.

But his mind was clear and lucid, and with a change in his State of Mind, as he reconstructed the prison of his soul, the thousands of Soul Shocking Silk he simulated clashed with the numerous claw shadows.

A series of rapid, metallic crackling sounds, like the clanging of metal, rang out.

The two were evenly matched in strength. In the midst of their spiritual clash, countless Soul Shocking Silk and claw shadows twisted and disintegrated in the blink of an eye, their explosive energy scattering outwards.

However, in the next moment, a large number of Soul Shocking Silk suddenly condensed, forming a blazing, high-pressure Qi Pillar, which transformed into a large sword.

Suddenly, with a wave of Chen Dengming's hand, it crashed down.

The Sha Star had not expected Chen Dengming to have a surprise move. His burly figure suddenly moved, not by casting a spell, but faster and more agile than if he had cast one. The air exploded with a whoosh, and his figure was about to disappear.

But a new mental prison has been constructed. Chen Dengming's white hair flew wildly at his temples, and his face, as transparent as white jade in his divine soul state, emitted a radiant light. He had mobilized his Divine Sense to the extreme, and another wave of Spiritual Energy invaded the mind of the Sha Star.

The Sha Star sneered, and a flash of Silver Light suddenly appeared on his body. He had finally mobilized the power of Daoist script and concentrated his mind to strengthen his mental defenses.

At the same time.

It is located near the Northern Region border outside the Mingyun Mountain Range.

There is an area here that has become a stronghold built by the alliance of various sects in the Northern Region, and it is surrounded and shrouded by Formation.

In one of the magnificent and imposing ritual halls, a middle-aged Daoist priest with a fair complexion and eyes that seemed to pierce through one's soul, dressed in a dark blue robe, walked into the hall with his head held high and a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, Northern Spirit Holy Son, my old friend has agreed to join forces with us to deal with the Longevity Dao Child. Does Your Highness wish to take action personally?"

Behind the beaded curtain opposite him, a figure emerged with his hands behind his back. He had a broad forehead, a long and thin face, high cheekbones, and unusually bright eyes with a shimmering light, exuding an otherworldly and refined air.

A strange look flashed in his eyes as he spoke warily.

"Fellow Daoist Geng, did this person agree so easily? Could there be a trap?"

Upon hearing this, the Daoist surnamed Geng looked slightly embarrassed. "It's not easy. This man surnamed Zhuang wants half a Northern Spirit Snow Lotus before he'll agree to cooperate."

"What a huge appetite!"

The Northern Spirit Holy Son scoffed, "Trying to get half a Northern Spirit Snow Lotus before even doing anything? Dream on."

He suddenly rolled his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips. He said, "Very well, I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Geng to tell him that we will each show our sincerity. We will first offer half a Northern Spirit Snow Lotus, but he also needs to help us deal with Xia Shunyuan who is guarding the border."

Then comes the Longevity Dao Child."

The Daoist priest surnamed Geng was startled, frowned, and hesitated, saying, "But doing so might alert the enemy."

Although this Longevity Dao Child has an eccentric style, he is still a member of the Longevity Sect. Once we hunt down Xia Shunyuan, he might immediately flee to avoid danger. Longevity Sect cultivators have always been like this; they never stand under a dangerous wall.

The Northern Spirit Holy Son smiled faintly, "I have a well-thought-out plan. Fellow Daoist Geng, just do as I say."

Ancient Human Immortal Palace.

Chen Dengming shattered the Golden Core Divide of the Sha Star with a single strike, then focused his mind and solemnly looked at the Nascent Soul Divide of the Sha Star on the second stone pillar ahead.

A faint, oppressive aura emanated from the second stone pillar, and the Sha Star figure on it gradually became prominent, emitting a cold, Divine Sense voice.

"My fellow countryman from the south, you've already given it your all to get this far! Last time you managed to get the inscription on the first stone pillar by taking a shortcut, how will you do it this time? And who can help you?"

Chen Dengming remained silent, his eyes gradually becoming purer and clearer, his mind entering a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, leaving no mental gaps.

Defeating the Golden Core stage cultivator of the Sha Star and standing before the Nascent Soul stage cultivator was a new achievement and a new height for him.

However, it is unlikely that one can forcefully overcome the Nascent Soul and Divided Spirit of the Sha Star.

And even relying on the spiritual power of the Heart Inheritance might only offer a slight chance of getting away with it...
