The Four Seas Counterattack! The Power to Protect the Dao

The war in the Cultivation World has begun, and the situation is not as Chen Dengming had once imagined, where it is entirely determined by the top experts.

At least when the number and strength of the top experts on both sides are roughly equal, or when the top combat forces are evenly matched due to certain reasons, the situation will reach a stalemate.

At this moment, a large number of cultivators below the Spirit Transformation began to enter the arena and fight.

Although the final victory will depend on the Nascent Spirit Transformation, the participation of both high- and low-level cultivators is not without significance.

The victories, defeats, and casualties of these cultivators are directly related to the foundation and fortune of both camps.

If talent is depleted, the future is gone, the foundation of the power will be unstable, and the strength of some Incense Dao in the Incense and Faith will decline.

Therefore, although the first wave of counterattack organized by the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance was launched by Spirit Transformation experts.

However, the main force of the second wave of formal counterattack was still a huge army of cultivators led by Nascent Soul cultivators, while the Spirit Transformation cultivators served as a deterrent force, and their operations were characterized by secrecy, independence, and flexibility.

Chen Dengming delegated sect affairs to his clone and many sect elders. After He Yingyu reported to him, he continued to seize the time to begin his cultivation.

Just as the ultimate factor determining the course of a war and victory still lies with the strongest individuals.

The future direction and development of the Longevity Sect across the Four Seas Four Regions also depend on the top experts within the sect.

As the sect leader and the Dao Child of this generation, he naturally needs to rapidly increase his strength.

However, after consulting with several sect elders and the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance about their counterattack, he still transmitted the information to the Sha Star Dongfang Huayuan through the Human Immortal Way Power.

It's impossible that Outer Domain Evil Cultivator didn't have spies and informants planted all over the world.

As long as one Devil Cultivator remains lurking, the news of the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance's counterattack cannot be kept secret from the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator.

Therefore, even if the Sha Star Dongfang Huayuan was pretending to betray the foreign realm but actually spying, it would not matter if such information was revealed to him.

Moreover, after numerous tests, Chen Dengming believed that he had not only gained some favors from Dongfang Huayuan, but had also basically confirmed that Dongfang Huayuan was trapped in Nanxun, indeed isolated from the outside world and lacking intelligence.

"The counterattack has begun, and they've already sent two Spirit Transformation cultivators to attack? They think they can drive away Senluo True Body? I've dealt with that behemoth before; he's not someone to be trifled with when he's enraged."

Within Chen Dengming's Sea of Consciousness, the Human God Hall cast forth spiritual light, from which came the questioning voice of Dongfang Huayuan.

Chen Dengming calmly responded, "What is real can be made to appear unreal, and what is unreal can be made to appear real."

I think the announcement of this counterattack by the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance is just a temporary publicity stunt, a pre-battle mobilization.

The specific timeframe is only mentioned as within two or three years. Who knows if they might suddenly launch an attack and catch the extraterrestrials off guard? The information released so far might just be a smokescreen to make the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator nervous.

Dongfang Huayuan. "What you say is true. But since mobilization has already begun, it seems it will be soon. Has the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance or your ancestor privately spoken to you about me?"

Chen Dengming naturally understood what Dongfang Huayuan meant, and shook his head, saying, "They haven't contacted me yet. I think even if they want to find me to confirm the coordinates and rescue you, it will definitely be after their army is pressing in."

"What do you mean by rescuing me? This is cooperation."

Dongfang Huayuan scoffed and laughed, "Do I need someone to save me?"

I just don't want to fight them to the death, with blood splattering everywhere, only to have you all benefit in the end.

Chen Dengming muttered to himself, 'Then let's not save him,' but on the surface he smiled and flattered, 'It was my fault for not choosing words properly. Senior Dongfang is truly awe-inspiring. It is an honor for the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance to cooperate with you! With your participation, this counterattack will surely be a great success.'

There's no harm in saying a lot of nice things; a sweet tongue is always a good thing. If you can't beat someone with fists, then you have to rely on sweet words.

Dongfang Huayuan's smug and arrogant expression was starting to crumble.

He didn't like being flattered, but what the kid said was the truth, so he could accept it and immediately replied.

"Alright, kid, no need to try to be clever. In short, if you're sincere about cooperating with me, you definitely won't lose out. How's the refinement of the Human Immortal Way Scripture I gave you last time coming along?"

"Some of these haven't been refined yet."

Chen Dengming, embarrassed, immediately seized the opportunity, saying, "This junior is foolish and was just about to ask you for guidance, senior."

Dongfang Huayuan was taken aback.

He was just asking politely, but this kid knew how to take advantage of the situation and actually asked him how to refine Daoist scripture.

The methods for refining the various branches of this text are obviously different; how could he possibly understand the method of spiritual inheritance?

But to say he didn't know now would be a huge loss of face for his senior, so he could only laugh it off.

"You are a spiritual inheritor, and the key lies in spiritual feeling, which cannot be expressed in words."

However, I can offer some advice on Martial Dao Divine Ability, such as the Seven Absolute Realms and the Human Immortal Physique derived from the Indestructible Vajra Zen Skill Technique.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming immediately expressed his gratitude in Sea of Consciousness mind and asked for further details.

"I was surprised that you were able to successfully execute the Seven Absolute Realms last time. However, the strongest and most dangerous of the Seven Absolute Realms is the Realm of Heartlessness."

If you can overcome the dangers of the Heartless Realm, you will be invincible even when facing Nascent Soul.

Dongfang Huayuan's voice was solemn, "From what I've observed, when you used the Man Conquers Heaven last time, you were able to accomplish the impossible with your Mental Strength."

If you can combine the concept of "Man's Will Can Man Conquers Heaven" with the Seven Absolute Realms, perhaps you can escape the danger of the Heartless Realm.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming's heart stirred, and he thought to himself, "Wonderful!"

This is a case of those involved being confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

Dongfang Huayuan only proposed a direction, but did not provide a specific implementation plan, which Chen Dengming still needs to explore.

But sometimes, even this seemingly simple direction is hard to grasp without that spark of inspiration.

"As for your Human Immortal Physique, I wonder if you have ever heard of the martial art called <Giant Spirit Body>?"

"Giant Spirit Body?"

Chen Dengming listened to Dongfang Huayuan explanation of the Martial Dao Divine Ability, it was as if he were reliving his past experiences of discussing martial arts with others in Nanxun.

But now he can discuss martial arts with Dongfang Huayuan, which surpasses anyone he used to seek in the south.

This can be described as an exchange between the two greatest masters of martial arts who sought each other in the south, and also an exchange between the inheritors of the two Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage who analyzed the secrets of the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage Divine Ability.

Even though it was mostly Dongfang Huayuan was talking, the occasional strange ideas that Chen Dengming put forward were still quite insightful theories based on his many years of martial arts experience, which were quite enlightening for Dongfang Huayuan.

After his exchange with Dongfang Huayuan, Chen Dengming also gained a great deal.

Even the proficiency level on the panel, which had been stuck at the 'Sainthood' level for many years, has fluctuated and increased by several points, reaching 97 proficiency, close to a breakthrough.

This is precisely the kind of lesson learned from others, which can be used to improve oneself.

Dongfang Huayuan, as the first martial arts genius to emerge from Nanxun, was able to break through to become a cultivator against the general trend in Nanxun. Many of his martial arts theories were insightful and profound, which greatly influenced Chen Dengming.

Among them, whether the combination of the human immortal's Divine Ability [Man Conquers Heaven] and [Seven Absolute Realms] can avoid the dangers of the 'Mindless' state requires careful consideration and research.

The Man Conquers Heaven is one of the ultimate Dao Intent Divine Ability within the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage.

Although the Seven Absolute Realms is not the ultimate Dao Intent Divine Ability, its power is still astonishing due to the unique nature of its seven realms of nothingness.

If these two Martial Dao Divine Ability could be combined, they might complement each other and create a new trump card.

In addition, there is the optimization and improvement proposed by Dongfang Huayuan regarding the combination of the Human Immortal Physique and the martial art of the Giant Spirit Body, which is also a direction that needs to be studied.

Chen Dengming seized the time and plunged into the cave abode to cultivate. At the same time, he condensed two Martial Immortal Clones. One clone was used to study the possibility of human Man Conquers Heaven and the Seven Absolute Realms, while the other clone was used to study the optimization direction of the Giant Spirit of the Human Immortal Physique.

He himself continued to cultivate the Longevity Merit together with his Incense Clone and another Heavenly Immortal Clone guarding the Perilous Hall, striving to break through his Strength Realm.

At the same time.

Following the news of the counterattack released by the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance, many forces and sects were busy preparing for war.

People around the world are filled with anxiety, and the atmosphere of preparing for war is intense.

Prices of all kinds of goods began to soar, and pre-war mobilization was in full swing.

Time flies, and two years later it was already time to go.

The first counterattack from all sides suddenly erupted when no one had heard a word of it.

This was the first counterattack launched by three Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators: Qu Shenzong, a former Nascent Soul cultivator from the Four Domains; Divine Sword Master of the Shu Sword Pavilion; and Mingguang Shangren, a Spirit Transformation from a top sect in the Four Seas.

Once the war broke out, it plunged the entire Northwest region into chaos. The sky and sea lost their color, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the traces of battle, like black holes, appeared and disappeared, inspiring fear in all who beheld them.

These three Spirit Transformation were all exceptionally skilled in Spirit Transformation. Their combined efforts resulted in the successful tearing apart of the natural barrier of the Land of Corruption in the northwest corner, dispelling the dark clouds and mist that shrouded the Land of Corruption, and also successfully driving out the Senluo True Body was entrenched within Land of Corruption.

As Senluo True Body departed, only a small part of his true form was revealed amidst the swirling black mist.

It was a terrifying body, like many of the young children of the Netherworld, resembling countless black tentacles.

It may even be only a part of its body, not the whole.

This image seems to suggest that the legend that the underworld is an old tortoise is false.

The underworld seems capable of endless transformations, which perfectly reflects its name, Senluo—meaning all things in the universe.

As it wriggles, it resembles a vast black river rushing across the sky, creating a roaring sound, which seems to suggest that the theory that it was born from the River Styx is true.

Its shape truly resembles a vast, surging river of the Styx, exuding a chilling aura.

Senluo True Body disappeared along with the black mist in the Land of Corruption of the far east of the Eastern Region, shrinking into the Land of Corruption of the adjacent Southern Region.

The black mist that had shrouded the Land of Corruption of the Southern Region for many years also churned and shrank considerably.

The retreat of this colossal creature signifies that the first counterattack by the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance has been a resounding success, securing a bridgehead in the Eastern Region.

As for what happens next, whether Senluo True Body will continue to live in seclusion in the other three Land of Corruption in the west, south, and north, or whether he will migrate to the interior of the four Inner Domain, is no longer the point.

The key point is the Land of Corruption in the far east of the Eastern Region, which has been captured and has become a bridgehead for the counterattack from all directions.

The second wave of cultivators from the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance will soon use this as a springboard to launch a counterattack and take over the Eastern Region.

"I never expected that in just two short years, the first counterattack would have already begun and ended in less than a day."

This was indeed a very sudden attack, but did those Outer Domain Evil Cultivator really have no defenses whatsoever?

Perilous Hall of the Longevity Sect, Chen Dengming's clone stared solemnly at the sand table in front of him, drawing a circle around the location of the Land of Corruption in the Eastern Region.

At this moment, he had separated a portion of his true self's spirit from his original body; the original self was still in seclusion within the cave abode, cultivating.

Opposite him, Su Yan Yan pointed to a spot on the sand table and said, "These Outer Domain Evil Cultivator weren't unprepared or obstructed; they were intercepted and stopped here."

Furthermore, during this counterattack, they discovered that Dongfang Huayuan was indeed trapped in Nanxun, guarded by Heavenly Crystal Dao Lord.

Senior Brother Jiang sent word that he speculated that if these Nascent Spirit Transformation were to make another move, it would likely revolve around rescuing Dongfang Huayuan.

After all, they are not yet aware that we have already contacted and cooperated with Dongfang Huayuan. Once Dongfang Huayuan is rescued, we will have a powerful new ally!

Chen Dengming frowned slightly.

The rescue operation for Dongfang Huayuan cannot bypass him.

After all, he's the only one who can currently contact Dongfang Huayuan.

Therefore, once this operation begins, he will inevitably get involved. With his strength, he can get involved in the battles of these Spirit Transmutation Dao Lords, even if it's just as a guide.

"Don't worry."

Su Yan Yan saw through Chen Dengming's thoughts at a glance, "If we really need you, Senior Qu Shenzong will guarantee your safety."

Moreover, it seems there's still some time ahead. The second wave of counter-offensive will soon begin, so the first priority is to proceed cautiously and secure the easternmost part of the Eastern Region.

She paused, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Chen Dengming, "You should still be able to cultivate peacefully for another year or two. Can you break through?"

Chen Dengming was speechless. He glanced at Su Yan Yan, shook his head, sighed, and uttered a single word, "Difficult!"

Even though he has used all sorts of methods to cultivate with all his might over the past two years, he has only managed to cultivate one-third of the eleventh level of the Longevity Merit.

It's extremely difficult to make a breakthrough within one or two years.

It will take at least three and a half years to see any hope.

Su Yan Yan frowned, paced back and forth with her hands behind her back, pondering a solution.

Besides a precious bed, she had no other treasures to give Chen Dengming to enhance his cultivation.

The fact that they can continue to delay for another year or two is due to the merits they have accumulated in the past; it would be very difficult to delay any longer.

If Chen Dengming were to actually enter the Battlefield and get involved in the rescue of Dongfang Huayuan, whether or not he had reached the peak of the Golden Core Perfection could be the difference between life and death.

Su Yan Yan frowned and said, "Once you break through to the Golden Core Perfection, you can take the Infant Transformation Pill that my Longevity Sect has preserved for the past sect leaders."

This Infant Transformation Pill can help you quickly condense one to two tenths of your Nascent Soul Power, accelerating your progress into the Nascent Soul Realm.

But most importantly, once you possess one or two tenths of the Nascent Soul Power, not only will your spell power increase significantly, but you'll also be able to manipulate fourth-tier Law Treasure. This is the most direct boost to your combat strength. However, the key is that you must first break through to the next level."

Chen Dengming spread his hands and said, "Uncle-Master, you also know that these things cannot be rushed and cannot be forced."

Moreover, I can also mobilize fourth-tier Law Treasure with my Dao power, although it will consume a lot of Dao power.

"There's always a way out now, so you don't need to worry, Uncle. All I can do now is try my best."

Su Yan Yan nodded slightly, her expression returning to calm. "That's all we can do. The Tiandao Sect and the Shu Sword Pavilion are already preparing to launch a counterattack and have mobilized to set off."

"According to your previous arrangements, our Longevity Sect is now sending Elder Ran to lead a group of disciples ahead?"

"Good!"

Chen Dengming, with his hands behind his back, solemnly said, "I have already discussed this matter with Senior Brother Ran. I'm afraid Senior Brother Ran will have to..."

He and Su Yanyan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of regret in each other's eyes, and said nothing more.

Ran Yiqiang suffered a severe blow to his vitality after being injured by that powerful Devil Creature more than 20 years ago.

Over the years, the other person has also aged extremely quickly.

As the former Evergreen of the Longevity Sect, the person with the best chance of living past a thousand years at the Golden Core stage, he is now clearly nearing the end of his life.

This is very sad.

This was not only a great blow to Ran Yiqiang, but it also shook the longevity aspirations of many disciples within the sect.

Achieving longevity is incredibly difficult.

The cultivators of the Longevity Sect pursue longevity and dislike fighting and violence.

However, without strong protective measures, no matter how long one lives, one is easily harmed and killed by external forces.

Ran Yiqiang knew his days were numbered and didn't want to truly die of old age...

He thought it was too ugly, hurting their self-esteem, and leaving many disciples feeling frustrated and confused.

I'd rather die in the chaos of Battlefield than die of old age.

This is also why Su Yan Yan really hopes that Chen Dengming can break through to the Golden Core Perfection stage before heading to the Four Domains Battlefield.

If one cannot escape danger, then the only way is to enhance one's protective abilities to preserve life, prolong life, and attain eternal life.
