Several days later, Perilous Hall, on a Thousand-Year Cold Jade bed embedded with a large piece of Peerless Spirit Crystal.

Chen Dengming stretched, threw off the Spirit Silkworm Quilt covering him, sat up, rubbed his eyes, and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Beside him, another Heavenly Immortal Clone, sitting directly opposite, was still in a state of cultivation.

His true form cultivated for the first half of the night, and then chose to wander in spirit for the second half, entering a resting and nourishing state within the Spirit Refining Art, which is equivalent to sleep. In this state of cultivation, the depleted mental energy will only become more abundant and stronger.

At this moment, the Heavenly Immortal Clone got up and walked over, placing his palm on Chen Dengming's body and transmitting his insights and experiences from the night's cultivation through the mental imprint.

This Heavenly Immortal Clone is like an experience booster, assisting him in cultivation and rapidly improving his Technique Method and Cultivation Method.

Although its cultivation efficiency is much slower than that of the main body, at best it can only be comparable to one-tenth of the main body, but it is still a rare auxiliary cultivation method.

At this moment, various insights were transmitted into Chen Dengming's mind.

During Chen Dengming's internal observation, even the panels that were not very noticeable changed rapidly.

"Longevity Merit (Level 4: 114469/400000) -- (Level 4: 114491/400000)"

"Golden Core Mid Stage cultivator [Chen Dengming]"

Lifespan: 104/573/1915

Spirit Root: Metal, Wood (Superior Grade 100/100)

Martial Arts: <Chen Family Martial Arts General Outline> (Sainthood Level 58/100)

Daoist Techniques: <Longevity Merit> (Level 4: 114491/400000), <Modified Scattering Beans into Soldiers> (Mastery 71/100), <Modified Scattering Flowers from a Celestial Maiden> (Mastery 76/100), <Boundless Falling Wood Rustling Down> (Beginner 19/100), <Gold Generates Water> (Beginner 59), others omitted.

He broke through from the first level to the fourth level of the Longevity Merit. Not only did his strength break through to the Golden Core Mid Stage, but his Lifespan Limit also increased by sixty years.

In addition, he learned a third-tier intermediate Technique Method a year ago, one of which he even mastered to the beginner level, thus extending his Lifespan Limit by another forty years.

This increase in lifespan by a century has brought his current Lifespan Limit close to two thousand years.

Even disregarding the 573 years of lifespan already consumed, Chen Baimao still has over 1,300 years left to live.

"On the surface, I am Heavenly Pride who has cultivated to the Golden Core Mid Stage at just over a hundred years old."

However, if you include the lifespan already consumed, it took me 573 years to cultivate to the Golden Core Mid Stage.

According to the strong-form algorithm, I'm actually more than four hundred years behind others in terms of speed, which is already very slow. There's nothing to be proud of."

Although Chen Dengming is satisfied with his current achievements, he remains highly clear-headed, neither arrogant nor complacent.

However, Martial Aunt Su's bed is indeed a cultivation artifact. Combined with the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Spirit Seizing Formation, the effect of cultivating for one day is comparable to that of cultivating for two days.

"Tsk tsk, these Peerless Spirit Crystal and Thousand-Year Cold Jade are truly priceless treasures."

Chen Dengming looked down at the ice bed beneath him, where his bottom felt a bit cold.

It can be clearly seen that a huge, bright yellow, Peerless Spirit Crystal, about the size of a washbasin, is embedded in the bed, emitting extremely pure wisps of Spiritual Qi.

Peerless Spirit Crystal are only born deep within Fourth-Rank Spirit Vein. A Peerless Spirit Crystal placed underground can even evolve into Fourth-Rank Spirit Vein on its own after many years.

The Thousand-Year Cold Jade is a renowned spiritual Spiritual Material Spirit Vein.

This jade can lock in the Spiritual Qi of Peerless Spirit Crystal, preventing it from easily leaking out. Even if it is leaked out by someone, the jade can still absorb Spiritual Qi from the air to replenish the spirit crystal.

Therefore, the fusion of these two treasures into an ice bed is an excellent cultivation treasure.

The Spirit Gathering Formation gathers Spiritual Qi, which enters the ice bed and is absorbed by the Peerless Spirit Crystal.

The Spiritual Qi released by the Peerless Spirit Crystal can be quickly converted into Core Power by the cultivator sitting on the bed, without the need for complicated refining, thus saving a lot of time.

In terms of Cultivation Practice Method, this means that one less Greater Celestial Circuit of Cultivation Method circulation is required, greatly improving efficiency.

"If I could cultivate on Martial Aunt Su's bed every day, wouldn't the time it takes me to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm be shortened by several decades?"

Chen Dengming tapped the ice bed, thinking to himself.

Suddenly sensing something amiss, he immediately turned around.

Then a beautiful figure flew in from Perilous Hall Gate, her gaze landing on the bed behind the beaded curtain in the side hall, and she said calmly and coldly.

"You never miss a single moment or opportunity; you've been taking up my bed these past few days."

Chen Dengming chuckled dryly and jumped off the bed, casting a Cleansing Technique to tidy it up, and said...

"Even a slow bird can fly early, and diligence can make up for lack of talent."

"Uncle-Master, you said a few months ago that as long as you are not in the sect and I am needed to Nephew Disciple it, I can cultivate here."

Don't worry.

Su Yan Yan said calmly, "Since I've said so, I naturally grant you permission to use it."

"Now that the Heavenly Immortal Hall and the First Ancestor are not known when they will return, the sect's cultivation of you, the Longevity Dao Child, is also in dire straits due to a lack of resources. Otherwise, your uncle would not have offered this bed."

Chen Dengming felt both embarrassed and touched.

I always feel like I'm still thinking about my uncle's bed, which is indeed quite embarrassing.

But there's no way around it, practicing in bed is incredibly efficient.

However, in order to cultivate this Dao Child, Martial Aunt Su was willing to go to great lengths, even offering his precious bed so that he could cultivate here often. This is truly the way of Heaven, taking from the surplus and giving to the deficient.

Chen Dengming felt that he should always keep in mind the spirit of the Longevity Sect so that he could emulate and learn from it in the future.

"Uncle-Master, you were gone for a few days this time. Did you meet with the Alliance Elders? Did you get all the details sorted out?"

"We saw it, and we even took people to Bu Zhou Island to check it out. In fact, the Alliance Elders were already paying close attention when similar incidents occurred before, and now we have basically determined what happened."

The two, a senior and a Nephew Disciple, walked out of the side hall and into the front hall while talking.

"The highest inheritance of the Devilish Immortal Way lineage emphasizes demonic intent. The purer the demonic intent, the stronger the Devil Cultivator, and they may even generate demonic blood on their own."

Some people are born demons; these people are closest to the demonic intent and fanatically pursue the path of the Devilish Immortal Way.

Besides, there are also many who are bewitched, initially drawn in but becoming increasingly entangled in the demonic abyss, unable to extricate themselves, and ultimately growing more and more fanatical.

Listening to Su Yan Yan's detailed explanation, Chen Dengming said with a strange expression, "This Devilish Immortal Way lineage sounds somewhat similar to the Immortal Way. It also involves faith."

However, the Immortal Way are benevolent towards their followers and will give them many rewards. The more followers they have, the more abundant their incense offerings, and the stronger the power of the deities.

But in the Devilish Immortal Way lineage, the power of many believers will eventually be absorbed by the purest demon. Like ten thousand insects nurturing a single Gu, ultimately sacrificing countless others to create a single demon, is that how it is?"

Su Yan Yan paused, then put her hands behind her back and said, "This applies not only to the Immortal Way and demons, but also to the path of Buddhist Way. There is even an ancient saying that Buddhism and demons are one; whether one is a Buddha or a demon is entirely up to one's thoughts."

Chen Dengming's body trembled as he thought of the Vajra Putuo Gate.

Could it be that the Buddha Venerable Putuo of the Vajra Putuo Gate chose to stand idly by due to some lapse in judgment?

So, the rumored Sumeru Island in the Northern Spirit Sea is related to the Vajra Putuo Gate.

"Could Sumeru Island be the mastermind behind this incident?" Chen Dengming asked, frowning.

"No, that's not it."

Su Yan Yan shook her head, "I only brought up the idea of the unity of Buddha and demon on a whim. This idea comes from an ancient legend and may not be true."

The reason for the appearance of these Devil Creature, according to the investigation by the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance, is most likely that External Demonic Heresy, through some unknown channel, spread pure demonic intent, bewitched some people, and thus caused these events."

She glanced at Chen Dengming with her beautiful eyes, "Actually, in the past ten days or so, similar things have happened in many places across the country. What we encountered is just one example."

Chen Dengming felt a chill run down his spine, his expression immediately turned serious, and various thoughts began to surface in his mind.

Could something have gone wrong with the Immortal Sealing Array at the edge of the Four Seas?

Su Yan Yan sighed inwardly. She had already contacted her three Senior Brothers and learned a lot of things, including the matter of the Ten Thousand Devils Blood Sacrifice Dao Domain.

However, she was unwilling to tell Chen Dengming about these things for the time being, so as not to put too much pressure on him and affect his cultivation.

"It's alright now. The Four Seas Cultivation Alliance is taking this matter very seriously and is recruiting experts from major sects across the seas to handle it."

Su Yan Yan said, "We have rendered meritorious service this time, so we don't need to answer the call to arms. You should focus on your cultivation first."

She turned to look at the bed in the side hall, paused, and said, "My cultivation level cannot be improved in a short time. You can use this bed for a while, take it back to your cave abode, and return it to me when I need it later."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude. As for returning the item, that was naturally beyond question.

This precious bed is priceless; even Nascent Soul Cultivator would consider it a treasure.

With this Cold Jade Ice Crystal Bed as an aid, he will be able to break through to the Golden Core Late Stage at a faster pace.

But at the same time, he felt even more embarrassed.

I don't know if this uncle is particular about his bed, but in any case, he made a rather aggrieved sacrifice.

That day.

Chen Dengming carried the Cold Jade Ice Crystal Bed back to his cave abode, startling He Yingyu.

"You, how did you manage to carry the Third Ancestor's precious bed back?"

"My Third Martial Uncle asked me to carry it back; she doesn't need it for now."

Chen Dengming chuckled and excitedly pulled He Yingyu to sit down and experience it for herself.

"I...I dare not sit on this. After all, this is the Third Ancestor's precious bed. I would be afraid of defiling it if I sat on it."

He Yingyu quickly declined.

No matter how much Chen Dengming tried to persuade him, he refused to go up and experience it, fearing that he would disrespect the ancestor.

She naturally knew that this was the Third Ancestor's way of cultivating her Husband.

Her Husband let her go up and try, hoping she would experience something positive.

But she really didn't dare to try this sweet treat; she was somewhat overwhelmed by the favor and worried that she would be wasting the resources.

After Chen Dengming tried to persuade her several times, seeing that He Yingyu was really unwilling, he had no choice but to stop forcing her.

He changed out of his robes and into civilian clothes, and said with a smile, "Since you're unwilling to try, then so be it. But tonight, under my supervision, let's first practice the <Life-Damaging Seedling Pulling Technique>."

He Yingyu lowered her head and nodded, this time agreeing readily.

More than a year ago, she finally broke through to the Golden Core Realm, and her lifespan increased greatly.

Although Chen Dengming does not yet know his exact lifespan.

However, He Yingyu was not old to begin with, at least half a year younger than this old guy. In addition, Su Yan Yan had used the Seven-Colored Bright Mirror Destiny Technique to test her lifespan potential. Su Yan Yan's lifespan potential was cyan, which was considered excellent.

After careful consideration and obtaining He Yingyu's consent, Chen Dengming decided to teach her the "Life-Damaging Seedling Pulling Technique".

With He Yingyu's aptitude being only slightly above average among Medium-grade Spiritual Root, whether she can cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm within the next seven hundred years remains an open question.

If you get stuck at a certain level and fall into a bottleneck, it could take hundreds of years.

However, if one only cultivates the first level of the <Life-Damaging Seedling Pulling Technique>, it might be possible to upgrade a mid-to-high-grade Spirit Root to High-grade Spiritual Root.

In this way, there might still be hope for breaking through to the Nascent Soul in the future.

With Chen Dengming, who now possesses the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, overseeing and supervising this matter, there is great potential for success.

If he had had the same conditions back then, Xu Wei might not have ended up in such a heartbreaking state.

At the same time.

Within the four Inner Domain.

In a desolate immortal sect, the walls of the streets are covered with evil runes.

The once bustling square in the city has now become a sacrificial site filled with the strong smell of blood.

The area was surrounded by flags, with countless withered monk bones hanging from the tops, disgusting blood constantly seeping from the marrow, and the ground covered with some kind of black and yellow leather, creating a terrifying atmosphere.

At this moment, a rusty longsword was stuck in the altar at the center of the arena, emanating a sinister demonic Devil Qi.

Many people gathered in the square, all expressionless, kneeling and praying numbly toward the altar, muttering incantations that completely masked their inner fear and despair.

Their eyes were filled with superstition and madness, as if they were waiting for something evil.

As they chanted, a strange energy fluctuation emanated from the altar in front of them, seemingly coming from the depths beneath the long sword, sending chills down their spines.

Even with the daytime sunlight shining here, it felt noticeably colder.

Suddenly, several beams of light flew over, carrying a dozen struggling cultivators who were caught by several mysterious cultivators dressed in dark blue robes and thrown onto the altar below with a 'thud'.

Immediately, the cultivators within the spiritual network began to writhe and beg for mercy, wailing loudly.

Seeing this scene, some of the many cultivators kneeling around looked even more numb, some were confused, and some were in a daze.

The mysterious cultivators who were arresting people, however, looked excited and expectant.

"Call--!"

Suddenly, a sinister, black smoke-like Devil Qi emanated from the altar, followed by a howling sound like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

It was as if one after another, ferocious demons roared out from the Devil Qi, instantly devouring the dozen or so cultivators on the altar.

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen skeletons appeared on the altar.

The longsword hummed and vibrated, and the rust on its blade deepened, with pieces of iron even peeling off layer by layer in the Devil Qi.

From deep within the altar, faint sounds of greedy chewing and sinister laughter could be heard.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators in mid-air excitedly exchanged ideas.

"It seems we made the right choice in arresting them this time. My demon is very satisfied with these sacrifices."

"I wonder if this will further expand my demonic power and inspire followers across the world."

"As long as they are devout enough, they will sense the demonic intent and fulfill my demonic wish."

As these individuals exchanged glances, the pure demonic intent in their eyes intensified.

An indescribable demonic power, originating from this fallen Immortal Sect, spread out and connected with several similar sources in the four devastated regions, seemingly forming a 'small field' that amplified the demonic power, leaving those within it dazed, numb, and gradually succumbing.

This bizarre and eerie situation even seemed to send a message across the four regions, past the motionless Immortal Sealing Array, and into the four seas, like a silent call.
