Indulging a Son Is Like Killing a Son! The Power of an Earth Immortal

Zhanxian City.

Chen Dengming stood with his hands behind his back on the famous Wangxiantai platform of the Chen Family. His eyes were deep and unfathomable, which made the dozens of Innate Martial Artist kneeling on the ground below the platform both fanatical and quite uneasy.

Only after Chen Dengming waved his hand, and the group heard the sound of his sleeves fluttering, did they rise, offer their prayers, and leave with a mixture of regret and relief.

"Master!"

The aging Chen Zhong, nearing the end of his life, hunched over, looked up with cloudy eyes, trying to see Chen Dengming clearly. He wanted to see his master's youthful appearance one last time before he died, but he found it was truly impossible.

He's so old, so old that I feel his days are numbered.

He suffered a great calamity in the blood refinement of the Chen Family in his early years. Although he did not die, he lost too much of his vital energy. Even though Chen Dengming used spiritual pills to nourish him eight years ago, he was still on the verge of death.

"Old Zhong."

Chen Dengming turned around, looked at Chen Zhong was about to kneel down, shook his head and casually generated a gentle force to support the old servant, and smiled faintly.

"We've been master and servant for so many years, there's no need for us to kneel and bow like these outsiders."

Chen Zhong was moved and sighed, "Master, you are truly an immortal now, a great immortal at that."

Chen Dengming shook his head and smiled, "Immortals are also transformed from humans, and I, sir, Venerable Immortal; I can only say that I am still on the path of cultivating immortality."

Chen Zhong, I didn't give you the wrong name. Over the years, you have demonstrated your loyalty to the Chen Family through your actions. I, your master, also respect you as my old servant."

Chen Zhong was so grateful that tears streamed down his face. He said, "With your words, Master, I can die without regrets."

But sir, if you're willing to send these Xiantian masters to the Cultivation World in the future, why can't you take Ranran and Jing'er with you to cultivate Cultivation World?

"Is it possible that you are unable to resolve the so-called matter of Spirit Root with your current abilities?"

"Solve?"

Chen Dengming sighed and paced back and forth, saying, "If Spirit Root were so easy to obtain, there wouldn't be any mortals in the Cultivation World."

Chen Zhong, I will take care of Yiran and Jing'er, you don't need to worry about it.

Chen Zhong nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

He treated Chen Dengming's two children as his own, which goes beyond what one would call his own; he valued them even more than his own children.

In order to take good care of his two children, he once had the opportunity to get married and have children, but he chose to give it up and only accepted the title of his son.

He naturally hoped that Chen Yiran and Chen Jing could become noble immortals like Chen Dengming.

However, to become an immortal, one needs Spirit Root, and neither the young master nor the young lady possesses any Spirit Root.

Everyone says immortals are good, but little do they know that immortals also have troubles. They need Wealth, Companions, Dharma, and Place, and the gap between social classes is even greater. Without Spirit Root, what's the point of cultivating?

Chen Dengming immediately noticed Chen Zhong's many questions, but he didn't want to explain.

Without being at a certain level, you can't see many problems.

Even now, her children, Chen Yiran and Chen Jing, are still confused, as they are both going through their rebellious phase.

As a father, Chen Dengming couldn't persuade them otherwise. The only way he could help them experience things for themselves was to let them understand. He couldn't reason with them through words alone.

"Father!"

"Father!"

At this moment, two figures, surrounded by several Xiantian masters, rushed over from not far away with extremely fast Movement Method.

They were none other than Chen Dengming's son and daughter, Chen Jing and Chen Yiran.

Chen Jing's body was as straight as a spear, with particularly broad shoulders and back, making him appear imposing. Beneath his broad forehead, a pair of tiger-like eyes gleamed with intelligence, bearing a striking resemblance to Chen Dengming.

Although she had just turned sixteen, she already had the physique of an adult.

Chen Yiran has a beautiful face, a well-proportioned figure, is quiet and dignified, and has a beautiful appearance. Her eyebrows and eyes faintly resemble Chen Dengming's charm. She looks four parts like Chen Dengming and six parts like her mother, Liu Fangyuan Xiuli.

Both the son and daughter are now masters in the Martial World, approaching the Xiantian level of strength. They have mastered various martial arts styles and are not far from reaching the Xiantian.

Even if Chen Dengming were to make a move, his son and daughter could be at the Xiantian at any time, and reaching the eighth level of the Xiantian would not be a problem.

However, the goal of this son and daughter is not to Xiantian, but to cultivate immortality.

"Father! Are you coming back this time to take us to the Cultivation World?"

After the son and daughter exchanged greetings, Chen Jing looked expectant and asked Chen Dengming with his eyes fixed on him.

Chen Yiran, who was standing to the side, did the same.

They grew up in Zhanxian City from a young age, and being the children of the great immortal Chen Dengming, they had long been aware of their own extraordinary abilities through years of exposure to the world. Gradually, they no longer regarded the eighth level of the Xiantian Realm, the pinnacle of martial arts, as the ultimate goal.

Even though they knew they lacked Spirit Root and could not cultivate immortality, they still believed, out of blind trust in their father Chen Dengming, that they could cultivate immortality in the future and that their father would solve the problem of Spirit Root for them.

Because their father was the pride of the entire Southern Xun, the strongest immortal.

Even Uncle Jiang, the number one expert in the Southern Quest and a living immortal, had to obey their father's orders.

Chen Dengming sighed inwardly as he looked at the expectant gazes of his son and daughter.

People who aren't family don't enter the same door.

This son and daughter are quite like him when he was young, very stubborn.

Since discovering the existence of immortals, he no longer regarded martial arts as his ultimate goal.

Instead, he pursued immortality in his twilight years, his ambition undiminished.

However, he possesses Spirit Root and also has a panel.

This son and daughter

"Jing'er, Yiran, the Cultivation World outside is currently in turmoil. If you really want to go to the Cultivation World, you will have to postpone it for some time."

Chen Dengming patiently comforted them, and seeing that Chen Jing and Chen Yiran clearly disappointed, he reached out and embraced his son and daughter.

After a moment's thought, I decided to tell them the truth about some things.

"There are some things I need to tell you beforehand: without Spirit Root, it is impossible to cultivate immortality. Even I cannot help you with this."

If you don't believe me, you'll understand when I take you to the Cultivation World.

Chen Dengming did not intend to show off or make grand promises, claiming that he could solve the problem of Spirit Root.

He really couldn't solve it either; if a problem can't be solved, it's best not to delay it.

Ordinary parents might be afraid that this would hurt their children's feelings and damage their self-esteem.

But the Cultivation World is not child's play. In the mortal realm like Nan Xun's, he can protect his children and ensure their lifelong wealth and honor.

But if they went to the Cultivation World, things would be different.

Spoiling a child is like killing him!

Rather than letting your children have unrealistic expectations and endless hopes, it's better to be realistic and explain things to them early on.

As expected, Chen Jing and Chen Yiran were greatly affected by Chen Dengming's words.

Chen Dengming sighed inwardly, offering only words of encouragement; it would be inappropriate to say anything more now.

He planned that once things stabilized outside, he would have Chen Jing and Chen Yiran marry some female cultivators or male cultivators with good aptitude in the Cultivation World.

In this way, the future generations of the Old Chen will still have a chance to be born with Spirit Root.

He also had a plan to take a group of people from the Southern Search out in the future.

This is also an attempt to enable more people from Nanxun to multiply in the Cultivation World, gradually acquire Spirit Root, and lead the people of Nanxun to the Cultivation World.

But this idea was just something I did on a whim when I was in a good mood.

It's like some businessmen in a past life who, after becoming wealthy, would return to their hometowns to invest and build, but to say they were doing something like being a saint and working tirelessly for the cause is another matter entirely.

After visiting his children, Chen Dengming stayed in Zhanxian City for several more days.

Once he had recovered his Mental Strength, he did not linger in Nanxun any longer and set off to leave.

Now, Lüoshan City has been recaptured, Xu Wei has entered the Yin Spring, and the third Human Immortal Way Scripture has been obtained.

Chen Dengming has accomplished everything he wanted to accomplish during this trip.

Furthermore, due to his successful execution of the most profound Divine Ability of the Sacred Heart Art, the Seven Absolute Realms, his <Chen Family Martial Arts General Outline> finally broke through again, moving from the extraordinary to the saintly level, and his Lifespan Limit was extended by another ten years.

"Everything has been accomplished, but the war outside is not yet over. I will cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm from now on."

Once one reaches the Nascent Soul, one can become the new little ancestor of the Longevity Sect?

At the current cultivation speed, it would take at least 120 years to cultivate normally.

Chen Dengming flew south on his Blade Control, searching for an exit.

He was mentally planning various arrangements and arrangements for the future.

"I don't know if I'll be able to cultivate peacefully through these 120 years."

After returning, I should practice my Technique Method more, accumulate more wealth, prepare suitable magic Law Treasure, and ideally obtain a third-tier Spirit Seizing Array Disk from the Curiosity Sect.

After reaching the Golden Core Realm, his lifespan became even longer; he still has over a thousand years to live.

In this way, many things are no longer urgent and can be arranged slowly.

It also frees up some of your energy to learn another skill.

However, another issue that requires particular attention is the matter of personal safety.

The four regions are currently in a turbulent era, with fierce battles between cultivators.

Although he was a Dao Child, he still needed to fulfill his Duty Assignment to the sect within a certain period of time.

However, the number of times and the duration of their duties are much more flexible compared to other cultivators within the sect.

However, as long as one performs their duties, they will inevitably face some risks in such an unstable environment.

"Though lifespan is long, one must still be able to endure it. After I return to my sect, I'll have to inquire about matters beyond the four regions."

The Sha Star said that life beyond the four regions is not necessarily peaceful, but new places naturally bring new and greater opportunities.

Chen Dengming pondered many things, deeply feeling the meaning of the world being a vast sea of suffering.

It seems that no matter where you are, there are always some kind of trouble.

He wanted to go beyond the Four Realms, hoping to avoid the troubles that had been stirred up by the Sha Star within Inner Domain.

But they also knew that even beyond the Four Realms, it would be difficult to achieve complete peace.

Because the best resources he can enjoy now, namely 'Wealth, Companions, Dharma, and Place,' are all within the four regions.

There was a loud bang.

He entered the deep pool, preparing to leave Nanxun.

Nearly a week has passed, and the area is near the Mingyun Mountain Range, outside of Nanxun.

The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated as the Northern Region cultivators failed to break through the defenses after a prolonged siege.

Within the Northern Region cultivators' camp.

The Northern Spirit Holy Son was gradually losing patience at this border, and he vaguely sensed some danger.

"Fellow Daoist Geng, seven days have passed, and your friend still hasn't been able to lure out Longevity Dao Child. It seems that Longevity Dao Child may have already left this southern border region."

Inside the Dharma Hall, the Northern Spirit Holy Son stood with his hands behind his back in front of the sand table, frowning as he spoke.

Geng Shouyi helplessly spread his hands and said, "Your Highness, as I said before, these cultivators of the Longevity Sect, including this seemingly powerful Dao Child, are all old turtles."

If they had seen even the slightest sign of danger, they would have immediately fled; they'd probably be back at the Longevity Sect by now."

The four regions are both vast and small.

For cultivators who are not at the Foundation Establishment or above, the Four Regions are vast, and without flying vehicles like spirit boats for travel, it would take a very long time to reach the center of the Eastern Region from the center of the Southern Region.

However, for Golden Core Great Cultivator, traveling from the center of one region to the center of another, it would only take a maximum of four or five days to fly in Third-tier Spirit Boat.

Therefore, a week is more than enough time for Chen Dengming to return to the Longevity Sect from the southern border.

Seeing that the Northern Spirit Holy Son remained silent, Geng Shouyi asked in confusion, "Your Highness, with the combat strength of the Longevity Dao Child, even though you also possess the Dao lineage and are at the Golden Core Mid Stage realm..."

But even with me and Zhuang Fangyu has turned against us, we might not be able to keep him, right?

What are your plans?

The Northern Spirit Holy Son reached out and moved some objects on the sand table, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and pondered for a moment.

"Now that things have come to this, and since the Longevity Dao Child has likely already escaped, we have no choice but to make other plans."

Indeed, with only the strength of the two of us, we are certainly not capable of defeating the Longevity Dao Child.

Even if we were to conquer this southern border region, it would be very difficult to hold it.

But if we add the experts from the Mochao Kingdom and the Nightmare Country, we can accomplish many things."

"What?"

Geng Shouyi was startled and unconsciously looked around. "The experts from the two great demon kingdoms have also arrived? The Nightmare Country Lord was severely injured by the Heavenly Dao Second Ancestor, has he recovered?"

The Northern Spirit Holy Son smiled coldly, turned around, and transmitted his voice, "The Longevity Dao Child killed a Prince the Mochao Kingdom, and the Longevity Sect, together with the Tiandao Sect and the Shu Sword Pavilion, severely injured the Dharma Protector of the Mochao Kingdom. This feud has been brewing for a long time."

The Devil Cultivator of the Western Regions, having struggled to break apart the various sects of the Eastern Region for so long, have quietly shifted their focus to the Southern Region as a breakthrough point.

This time, experts from both countries have infiltrated the area.

"If it weren't for that Mochao Kingdom's Kill Chakra Guardian insisting on hunting down the Longevity Dao Child, we would already have stormed into the Southern Region by now."

That being said, the Northern Spirit Holy Son knew only the truth of his own actions.

Not only did the Kill Chakra Guardian want to hunt the Longevity Dao Child, but he also had the Longevity Dao Child as his prey.

This is not only because of their reputation, but also because it involves the secrets of their Northern Spirit Sect.

And such a secret could only be carried out by taking advantage of the chaos of war.

The Northern Spirit Holy Son sighed, "The benefits of capturing a Longevity Dao Child far exceed the easily attainable Southern Borderlands."

"This waiting period is necessary, and we also need the cooperation of our fellow Daoists in the other three border regions to keep the experts from the Southern Region at bay."

"I see."

Geng Shouyi suddenly understood and shook his head, saying, "It's a pity that Longevity Dao Child has already left. Zhuang Fangyu wouldn't lie to me about this; he has been trying his best to find him these past few days, so it doesn't seem like he's faking it."

The Northern Spirit Holy Son nodded slightly. "Never mind, consider him lucky."

"Now assemble your men and get ready."

Geng Shouyi raised his hand in a gesture of respect, tentatively inquiring, "Those people from the Demon Kingdom?"

The Northern Spirit Holy Son said, "They are few in number, but they are all elites. In the past few days, they have gradually broken up into smaller groups and dispersed into the Mingyun Mountain Range to hide."

"The Kill Chakra Guardian has even penetrated deep into the Southern Region's strongholds. Xia Shunyuan's life is already in our hands. What about the other border areas?"

Geng Shouyi said, "As Your Highness predicted, fierce battles are taking place in several other border areas, attracting and restraining many experts from the Southern Region Alliance of Sects."

"Our spies haven't yet gathered any intelligence that any experts from the Southern Region have gone to our area."

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Northern Spirit Holy Son, "Then prepare to make your move tonight."

"We'll directly conquer vast territories north of the Southern Region and plunder all their resources. I'll contact the experts of the two great demon kingdoms."

"Yes!"

Geng Shouyi felt his blood boiling and immediately turned around to get to work.

At the same time.

A beam of light emerged from a crevice in the snow-capped peaks of the Mingyun Mountain Range.

Chen Dengming's figure emerged from the light membrane, and the instant he appeared, he felt a series of alarming omens appearing in his mind.

The Immortal Celestial Dao Power, which remained constantly vigilant, surged rapidly into the clear and bright mind, enabling the use of the Heavenly Eye.

In an instant, his mind soared upwards with the power of the Dao, converging at a higher level and space.

Opening the wisdom eye of one's mind, looking down from the sky, one 'sees' the gathering and hidden auras of various cultivators in the Mingyun Mountain Range.

"Hmm? It's only been a short time, and this place has already been occupied by cultivators from the Northern Region?"

Chen Dengming's expression changed slightly.

They even sensed a large group of Northern Region cultivators not far away, at the foot of Snow Peak Mountain, with two extremely powerful auras among them, like two blazing suns.

Even if one of them intentionally concealed their aura, it would be impossible for them to hide under the observation of the Heavenly Eye, demonstrating their formidable strength.

"Two Golden Core cultivators, one of whom appears to be in the Golden Core Mid Stage, and his aura is even stronger than Zhuang Fangyu's."

Chen Dengming was startled and immediately made a hand seal to use the Wood Escape Technique, disappearing into the trees on the side.

Anyone who shows up and sees a bunch of enemies gathered at the door would be startled.

Chen Dengming initially thought that these people had discovered the entrance to the South and were all coming for him.

But he soon realized that probably wasn't the case.

Judging from the direction directly facing the Northern Region cultivators' camp, it appears to be the direction from which a large-scale attack on the Southern Region cultivators' stronghold is about to take place.

Chen Dengming carefully concealed himself, not wanting to get involved in this trouble. He made hand seals and began to disappear among the trees and forests, preparing to escape, while simultaneously sending the message back to the sect.

"Hmm? There's a little mouse lurking around us?"

Inside the magic room of the Northern Region camp, a strange light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Northern Spirit Holy Son, and a dark brown halo swept across his gaze.

Earth Immortal Dao Power!

He suddenly swept his palm in front of his eyes, and the dark brown halo appeared on his palm before moving to his feet.

Instantly, his feet, planted firmly on the ground, detected some unusual movements in the nearby forest.

A cultivator of considerable strength was moving swiftly through the mountains and forests using extremely skillful Wood Escape Technique.

If he hadn't possessed the Earth Immortal Dao Power, he wouldn't have been able to detect such a subtle and understated action from the other party.

"Interesting, who is it?"

The Northern Spirit Holy Son's eyes shot out divine light, like cold lightning with frost blades embedded in it. An even more surging power of Dao instantly gathered in his feet, and he suddenly stomped his foot.

Buzz!!

Several miles away, the earth suddenly trembled violently.

A large tree suddenly shook, its roots were shaken out of the soil, and soil flew everywhere.

In an instant, as if dragons and snakes were rising from the earth, countless energies accompanied by a strange force surged into the trees.

A figure suddenly darted out from the tree trunk.

Chen Dengming's Wood Escape Technique was forcibly interrupted by a force, and he felt a sense of oppression in his chest and a look of surprise in his eyes.

As the tree crumbled, that surging, thick, and strange power once again condensed at the spot beneath them.

"Underground?"

Chen Dengming's eyes narrowed, and he immediately forced himself to stabilize his body in mid-air.

Almost simultaneously, the ground below suddenly shattered and cracked, sending dust flying everywhere.

Large chunks of rock mixed with soil, shrouded in a dark brown aura, rubbed together violently, forming a heavy, imposing hand that lunged at him.

Boom!

A violent gust of air rushed towards us!

"This is... Dao power?"

Chen Dengming immediately moved, his body flashing with Golden Light, and slightly dodged.

The next instant, with a deafening roar, a violent gust of wind swept past his body, instantly tearing apart the protective barrier formed by his Jiamu Mage Robe. The shield was utterly unable to withstand the onslaught of the Earth Immortal Dao Power.
