Chen's Eighteen Zhang of Land: The Human Immortal Walking the Continent

Within the nameless valley, a strong, oppressive, and obscure aura emanated continuously. A colossal figure, resembling a small mountain, stood in the valley, surrounded by clusters of multicolored light.

This five-colored radiance is the nearly solidified five-colored Spiritual Qi that has been attracted and gathered.

Amidst the rising red mist, drifting golden clouds, and shimmering blue sky, the scene resembled a long, flowing rainbow. Among these, the dark blue and black spiritual lights were the most intense, like two phoenixes and cranes dancing in flight. They changed in an instant, transforming with the giant's breath, entering its enormous nostrils that seemed to breathe out clouds and mist like a celestial cave abode, as if a pair of phoenixes and cranes were flying into a blessed celestial cave.

Beside a lake in a valley, inside Soul House where the discarded robes and Storage Bag were placed, the Little Array Spirit, both surprised and embarrassed, lay at the doorway, gazing at Chen Dengming's enormous and magnificent figure from afar, muttering to itself.

"Dao, fellow Daoist, you've changed so much, it's really... it's hard to get used to."

Although she complained, the Little Array Spirit's gaze seemed to be drawn by a magnet, unable to look away.

The Ancient Human Immortal Physique is arguably the most perfect Physical Body state of a human immortal, and also represents the strongest and most perfect Physical Body state of humankind.

Such a perfect body, even if you put a dog's head on it, would still be very attractive to humans, especially females.

Not to mention that Chen Dengming was already handsome and full of mature charm, which made him even more attractive to the young woman. However, she was too shy to express her feelings and could only steal glances at him.

The You Jing among the Three Souls, however, was already stirring restlessly, constantly urging it from the depths of the mind.

"You little Tai Guang, Bai Chun, a lonely female cultivator for over a thousand years, what are you pretending to be so innocent for?"

"If you're so shy, why don't you let me have a turn? I've wanted to have something happen between Xiao Chen for a long time, but He Yingyu has always been there to stop me, never giving me a chance. She's really shameless!"

"No, no, stop talking about me! I will never go along with your evil ways!"

Her body, flushed with Tai Guang blush, was a rosy white, radiating a spiritual glow.

Rumble--

At this moment, a sound like thunder came from Chen Dengming's body, which was over ten feet tall, and a fine silver electric light floated and swirled around his body.

The thunderous sound was actually the churning of internal organs and the resounding of bones, demonstrating the terrifying strength of its physique.

Chen Dengming felt his body brimming with immense power. His powerful magical Law Power, now mostly combined with his Daoist energy, transformed into a strange force that circulated within his body, seeping into his muscles, bones, and internal organs. This not only made him incredibly large but also gave him superhuman Physical Body strength.

His heart pounded like a drum, and the sound of his blood flowing through his veins was like a babbling mountain stream rushing down the mountain.

Even if observed with Divine Sense, it seems that the blood is mixed with Dao power, with a slight Silver Light as it flows, full of mystery.

"His towering 13 zhang tall, his Law Power and Dao power combined and transformed into pure Physical Body strength, but both of these powers were primarily Mental Strength."

Human desires are boundless, and human capabilities are limitless.

When Human Immortal Way Power is abundant, the stronger their Mental Strength, the more continuously their Ancient Human Immortal Physique can grow larger and stronger, and this can be maintained for a very long time. (Mental Strength)

As Chen Dengming pondered the essence of the Ancient Human Immortal Physique, he recalled the fearlessness and courage of the Ancient Immortal who dared to fight against the heavens and create the world, and their indomitable fighting spirit in rising up and resisting when Heaven's Will played tricks on them.

In that instant, his mind resonated more deeply with the Ancient Immortal's state of mind.

Creation!

Create land!

Man Conquers Heaven!

A surge of heroic ambition, a desire to rival the heavens, welled up within Chen Dengming. His spirits rose, his aura rapidly escalated, and he let out a long, exhilarating roar, like the cry of Dragon's Roar in a deep valley.

The rumbling sound waves spread out, tearing through the clouds and echoing through the valley, shaking the rocks, sending dust flying, and causing trees to be swept up as if by a gale, their leaves flying and trunks bending over—a truly astonishing sight.

His Mental Strength surged rapidly, and the power within his body boiled over.

The pores all over the body are like tiny mouths with suction power, devouring and absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

"With the breath of a whale swallowing the sea, I will climb the highest heavens!"

Chen Dengming's heart stirred, and he suddenly unleashed the <Spirit Devouring Technique>.

Instantly, centered on his massive body, it was as if a hundred-foot-deep pool had been plunged into it, radiating an immense and astonishing suction force.

Boom!--

Crackling--

The surrounding air trembled violently, and five-colored Spiritual Qi, like a rainbow, rushed towards Chen Dengming, gathering into a turbid ball of Spiritual Qi that suddenly collapsed into his body.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--

Click--

Pebbles and decaying leaves flew up from the surrounding area.

Even large trees were bent and broken under this terrifying suction force, rising from the ground and swirling in the air, colliding with each other into fragments that gathered into a turbid airflow that enveloped Chen Dengming's massive body, forming a huge, chaotic cocoon.

'Bang bang--bang bang!'

Sounds like the beating of drums emanated from inside the cocoon, and gradually, as if some enormous object was slowly prying the cocoon open, cracks appeared.

However, the mud, sand, pebbles, and leaves that were frantically sucked in quickly formed a new layer of cover.

In the darkness, Chen Dengming's body continued to stretch and expand, his bones thickened and lengthened, his muscles became more solid and dense, and his skin gradually became thicker and rougher.

The ground beneath their feet began to rumble and sink.

His weight was increasing; his physical condition was not stagnant, but rather rapidly improving, making him incredibly powerful.

Its original size of thirteen zhang (approximately 33 meters) began to grow taller and larger again.

This perfectly aligns with the idea that "the Mental Strength is inexhaustible, and the power of human effort is limitless."

When it reached eighteen zhang (approximately 33 meters).

A deafening explosion!

The layers of cocoons that had enveloped them suddenly shattered, violently shaken by a fierce and violent aura, scattering into countless fragments in all directions.

Many fragments have not yet dispersed.

With a thunderous roar, the ground trembled, Chen Dengming, with his enormous body resembling Silver Light giant, took a step forward, his aura fierce, and raised his hand to grab.

The Spirit Devouring Technique instantly transformed into a suction vortex within the enormous, carriage-like palm.

Boom!!--

The fragments that shot out in all directions quickly converged into turbid rivers, returning to his palm to form a huge, turbid sphere ten feet in diameter.

"Good, very powerful. Dao, fellow Daoist, you've grown even larger."

The Little Array Spirit inside the Soul House was utterly shocked by what it had just witnessed.

She felt that Chen Dengming in this state was terrifying; even if she recovered her former peak strength, she might not be able to suppress him.

Boom! Crack! Crack! --

Chen Dengming suddenly and slowly closed his palm, and the ten-zhang-long turbid sphere collapsed rapidly with a 'crack crack crack' under the violent suction force.

When it finally shrank to only one zhang in size, it became a stone and wood sphere weighing more than ten tons.

It fell into his huge palm with a 'thud'.

Chen Dengming casually tossed the ball around, and it emitted a terrifying whistling sound.

After weighing it in his hand, the thick muscles of his arm, like a twisted iron plate, writhed violently like a block of steel.

He took a step forward, his palms bulging with muscle, and threw the ball out.

Long--

An explosion of air within the valley tore open a Qi Pillar.

The surface of the stone pillar turned reddish-brown and melted into a crystalline state in an instant due to high-speed friction.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted from a mountain peak opposite, piercing through and blasting a large hole in it with the high-speed stone ball, sending rock fragments flying everywhere.

The stone ball, still possessing great momentum, continued to rub against each other, emitting sparks, and hurtled into the distance like a fiery meteorite.

"That's intense?"

Chen Dengming himself was taken aback.

This power seemed even more terrifying; he only gathered his strength slightly before throwing it.

If I had possessed such power when fighting the dragon beast that day, even if I couldn't gain an absolute advantage, I could at least have brought the dragon beast back to its senses more quickly.

However, at this moment, he also felt that the Human Immortal Way Power within his body was being depleted at an even faster rate.

This formidable power also comes at a greater price.

Chen Dengming paced back and forth, familiarizing himself with the current situation, before striding confidently and nakedly running through the valley, knowing that only the Little Array Spirit could see him anyway.

With each step he took, the ground in the valley collapsed into a deep pit. If he walked a little faster, the earth shook and dust billowed, as if he were a walking immortal, traversing mountains and rivers with overwhelming power.

Meanwhile, in the mountains seven or eight miles away, several Outer Domain Evil Cultivators, drawn by the strangely rapidly dissipating Spiritual Qi around them, suddenly heard a series of booming sounds and were instantly terrified.

"Flash out!!"

The leading Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly let out a sharp shout, his voice distorted with tension, and his body quickly leaped down to the ground below.

The other Qi Refining disciples were a step slower, but they plummeted down at an even faster speed. They were all stunned by the terrifying and fierce aura rushing towards them, like birds that had lost their souls and were so frightened that they lost their ability to fly and fell from the sky.

However, almost the instant these people fell from the sky, a meteorite with a surface burning with flames and thick smoke streaked past with a 'boom,' flying diagonally, tearing and vibrating the air, leaving a clear trail.

The trajectory of the meteorite as it flew diagonally pointed directly to the path of several cultivators who were hastily trying to avoid it.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator's expression changed drastically, and his spiritual light suddenly surged, forming a shimmering magical shield.

The next moment!

"Thump!--!"

A series of bloody mists suddenly exploded in the sky.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator in the lead didn't even utter a sound before his Flesh and Blood merged with the shattered magic shield. The other Qi Cultivation Cultivator, even though their bodies grazed the edge of the meteorite, were instantly shattered into fragments of bone and blood, which scattered everywhere.

BOOM!!

A violent tremor shook the ground behind them, sending up large amounts of sand and gravel, along with broken trees.

In the forest, a path several tens of feet long had been carved out. At the very end, a stone ball emitting blue smoke was half-buried in a mound of earth, radiating a crystalline light.

Inside the valley, Chen Dengming familiarized himself with his eighteen-zhang-tall form and felt better than ever before.

His strength has increased, and his Physical Body is also stronger. It is likely that ordinary fourth-tier Law Treasure or ordinary methods of Nascent Soul Cultivator will have difficulty harming him in this state of Ancient Human Immortal Physique.

This increase in combat power is enormous, meaning that he might actually be able to contend with or even kill ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators with the strength of Golden Core Perfection cultivator at its peak, without needing to rely on external forces.

The only regret is that, in his Eighteen -Ancient Human Immortal Physique state, Chen Dengming estimated that he could only maintain it for about half a cup of tea's time (three or four minutes).

If a fierce battle occurs, the depletion of Human Immortal Way Power will be too great, and the time this ability can be maintained will be even shorter.

"Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. It seems that if I want my Ancient Human Immortal Physique to become even stronger, I'll need to refine more Daoist runes as soon as possible, and perhaps even find a way to obtain the Human Heart Hall."

Chen Dengming pondered for a moment, then glanced at the panel.

It was discovered that the "Ancient Human Immortal Physique" status has appeared in the section on Human Immortal Supernatural Divine Ability.

We have already skipped the beginner stage and reached the entry-level stage.

"It seems my guess was correct. While the Human Immortal Way Power is the main factor in determining the effectiveness of the Ancient Human Immortal Physique, Mental Strength is the key to making the Ancient Human Immortal Physique even stronger."

Chen Dengming seemed to be deep in thought. He dispersed his Human Immortal Way Power and gradually recovered from his Ancient Human Immortal Physique state.

Suddenly, a feeling of weakness arose, as if I had been brought back to reality from the intense fighting spirit and confidence that had allowed me to smash a mountain with a single punch.

Chen Dengming understood that this was a fairly normal psychological reaction.

To use a more similar analogy, it's like a Nascent Soul Late Stage monster like the Soul Devouring Ancestor suddenly losing his Physical Body and being forced back to the Nascent Soul Astral Projection state, which would naturally make him feel weak.

"The power of Divine Ability abilities is ultimately just that —Divine Abilities. I cannot become overly reliant on them; I still need to focus on my own cultivation and development."

Chen Dengming silently reflected on his actions, quickly eliminating any lingering desire for powerful strength to prevent any mental loopholes from forming.

Then he looked around.

He was now in a deep pit, about two zhang long and half a zhang wide, with only half of his body protruding from the pit.

These were the enormous footprints he had left on the ground while in his Ancient Human Immortal Physique form.

Looking down, you can even see the lines of skin from the soles of feet in the compacted soil, exuding a faint sense of intimidation.

"These big feet, if used for mountain climbing, would make traversing mountains and rivers a piece of cake."

Chen Dengming made a self-deprecating remark, flew out of the deep pit naked, arrived at the lakeside, and put on his Dharma robe.

Looking at the perfectly fitting, luxurious third-tier robe, Chen Dengming touched the fabric and shook his head in self-reflection.

"From now on, I'll just wear ordinary clothes. It would be a loss if this third-tier robe were to burst during battle."

I hope my senior sister can quickly develop an upgraded, larger version of the Ruyi Treasure Armor.

"Dao, fellow Daoist, you, you are still more beautiful when you are small."

At this moment, Soul House, the Little Array Spirit flew out, its fingers twisting together as it shyly uttered words against its will.

Chen Dengming glanced sideways at the Little Array Spirit, an old acquaintance of decades, and without any embarrassment, asked, "What? Did it scare you by being too big just now?"

The Little Array Spirit instantly turned red like a light bulb, its entire spirit body glowing red. It spat and shrank back into the Soul House, stammering.

"Fellow Daoist, you have bullied me. I deserve to let the You Jing come out."

Chen Dengming's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to appease him with a smile.

He was just talking big, but You Jing was serious about it.

Honestly, he's not completely ready yet.

Of course, the most important thing is that even the You Jing couldn't get past the girl's hurdle.

After you are dressed and ready to go.

Chen Dengming dispelled the concealment Formation, flew out of the valley, and followed the trajectory of the stone ball he had just thrown.

Along the way, the upper halves of several trees were torn apart, leaving furrows, and some forests were still burning.

Fortunately, he chose a remote and uninhabited place, almost outside the jurisdiction of the Border Town outpost, which...

The thought had barely formed in his mind when Chen Dengming's expression changed slightly. He stared in astonishment at the scattered pieces of corpses on the ground below, some still smoking, some charred, and fragments of robes and Law Artifact still faintly visible.

Further ahead in the mountains and forests, a ravine with wisps of smoke rising from it appeared.

The stone ball he had thrown earlier had embedded itself in the pile of earth, still radiating high temperatures, though it had shrunk somewhat in size, its surface melting and crystallizing.

"Did we accidentally kill some passing cultivators?"

Chen Dengming immediately flew down to investigate.

Several dozen breaths later.

Chen Dengming looked at the Jade Slip in his hand, which he had forcibly invaded with his Divine Sense, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He has confirmed that the people he mistakenly killed were all cultivators from the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator.

These people had probably been sneaking around, using magical Law Artifact to conceal their figures and auras, and came to investigate. Because they were some distance away and he hadn't deliberately probed, he hadn't noticed them.

However, by sheer chance, they still managed to kill these few Outer Domain Evil Cultivator.

From the discovered Jade Slip, Chen Dengming learned that the task assigned to these people was to infiltrate the vicinity of the Border Town stronghold and gather information about him, the leader of the Longevity Sect Leader.

The reason is that his collaboration with the Dragon Venerable of Dragon Spirit Island to kill Tan Xiangkun has attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator camp, and now some people urgently need to investigate more information about him.

"So they came here just to spy on me. How unlucky they were to run into my hands. It's truly a case of reaping what you sow, fate has it all."

Chen Dengming chuckled and shook his head, but a sense of unease crept into his heart.

He had attributed all the credit for eliminating Tan Xiangkun to Dragon Venerable, perhaps intending to keep a low profile and avoid attracting the attention of the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator.

Unexpectedly, someone still had their eye on him. Could it be related to the Ghost King Qian Luo?

Chen Dengming is also unable to confirm this at the moment.

At this moment, he noticed the communication Jade Slip vibrating; his charming martial uncle Su Yan Yan, had sent a message.

"Return immediately!"

Chen Dengming frowned slightly.

The fewer the words, the bigger the matter.

It seems something big is about to happen.

He quickly dealt with the scene of the accidental killing, put the murder weapon, a stone ball still weighing ten tons, into his Storage Bag, and then transformed into a streak of light, speeding away.

The concept of Human Immortals is not only a concept found in previous Xianxia, but it's also a concept the author has always wanted to explore. Human Immortals, through their Physical Body, prove their immortality and open the Immortal Sect. This might differ from normal cultivators who wield Law Artifact artifacts in combat, leading some readers to question whether it's true fantasy. The author can only say that they've always insisted on writing their own unique perspective. For example, the term "Xianxia" encompasses not only immortals but also heroes, differentiating it from the selfish, cold, or dark cultivation genres that have dominated for a long time. This might have a market, but sometimes, to maintain a certain direction, something has to be sacrificed. This might explain why the book once stopped reaching 8,000 subscribers and couldn't reach 10,000. Other distinctions, such as Human Immortals, Celestial Immortals, and Divine Immortals, are also clearly defined. Writing about Human Immortals for a period doesn't mean it will remain so indefinitely. Well, that's all for now. Time for bed.
