Old Codger Chen Forms His Nascent Soul! Thirty-Six Thousand Apertures, Every One Connected to the Immortal Dao

In High Antiquity, cultivators of Qi sought immortality by emphasizing the Heavenly Timing, favorable location, and harmonious relationships.

Nowadays, those who cultivate immortality emphasize wealth, companions, methods, and location.

Ultimately, this might be because in High Antiquity times, resources were abundant, but Qi cultivators were scarce. There was no shortage of wealth, but a lack of methods.

After all, everything is difficult at the beginning, and everyone's methods are still in the exploratory and research stage, so communication is necessary, and it is also important to have good interpersonal relationships.

As for the Heavenly Timing and place, back then, it referred to the rising and setting of the sun and moon, the changing of the seasons, and secluded places with excellent feng shui and spiritual Spiritual Qi.

However, according to ancient records, in High Antiquity times, when the sun rose, it meant a year would not set, and when the moon set, it meant a year would not rise. Therefore, a day in High Antiquity times, with the sun rising and the moon setting, was equivalent to a year in modern times.

"That was an era where everyone was a dragon among men, rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures were everywhere, Innate Spirit Treasure emerged in endless streams, everyone became an immortal, and those who had just Spirit Transformation should not be complacent."

Heavenly Longevity Hall, the First Ancestor, the Longevity Dao Lord, slowly recounted some of the conditions of High Antiquity times.

In the center of the hall, Chen Dengming was bathed in azure light, absorbing the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, and listening to the First Ancestor's detailed explanation.

"Later, Spiritual Qi declined and resources became scarce. The immortals used the Daoist soil and their Immortal Power to create various immortal realms, maintaining the original appearance of High Antiquity times and preserving the favorable Heavenly Timing and location."

From then on, the celestial realm and the Human World were separated; one day in heaven was equivalent to one year on earth. This is the origin of Heavenly Timing.

"At this moment, I can only use the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, relying on the Heavenly Longevity Hall priest, to contact the Heavenly Immortal Realm and borrow the Heavenly Timing. If I want to truly control the Heavenly Timing, I must become a true Celestial Immortal, only then can I ride the flying immortals to roam freely, embrace the bright moon and live forever, achieving immortality!"

"Master the Heavenly Timing, become a celestial being, and achieve immortality."

Chen Dengming seemed to understand something.

The Longevity Sect, having received the Immortal Celestial Lineage, pursues longevity, and this pursuit is not without basis.

Among the Five Great True Immortals, only celestial immortals control the Heavenly Timing. If one controls the Heavenly Timing, then one controls the vast expanse of time.

As for whether it is truly immortal, he has not yet come into contact with it and it is difficult to judge, but it is definitely very close, because time is on the side of the celestial beings.

As the Immortal Celestial Dao Power increased, the First Ancestor stopped speaking and instead began to utilize the Heavenly Timing create a High Antiquity cultivation environment for him, where one day in heaven was equivalent to one year on earth.

Chen Dengming immediately noticed that the marks of time around him were increasing, indicating that time was changing rapidly.

He quickly focused his mind, calmed his spirit, and began practicing the Longevity Merit.

Within the golden core of his body, the Nascent Soul breathed in and out, drawing in the Spiritual Qi that showered down from above.

Water and trees flourish.

The water Spiritual Qi further nourished the Wood Spiritual Energy, increasing it by several times out of thin air, and then gradually transformed into the Nascent Soul Power. The Nascent Soul's face shone with Treasure Light, showing a sign of good fortune.

According to Chen Dengming's previous calculations, he would need to cultivate for nearly eleven years before he could break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Currently, the actual time spent practicing in the Heavenly Longevity Hall may need to be extended.

Because he was cultivating in the Heavenly Longevity Hall, he didn't have the means to set up any methods to aid his cultivation.

Furthermore, his Martial Uncle's Ice Crystal Jade Bed had not been properly repaired, which naturally caused his cultivation speed to be about 30% slower than before.

Therefore, if he cultivates within the Heavenly Longevity Hall, it will likely take him about fifteen or sixteen years to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Fortunately, with a lifespan reaching Chen Dengming's level, he can't be called an old tortoise, but he's at least a young tortoise. Losing another five or six years of lifespan is nothing at all.

At this moment, in the vast the Unseen, wisps of Spiritual Qi were continuously absorbed by Chen Dengming into his Nascent Soul, transforming into Nascent Soul Power, and opening up acupoints within the Nascent Soul.

According to the Immortal Celestial Lineage, the human body has as many as 36,000 pores, which are also 36,000 nerve acupoints, and these correspond to 36,000 celestial immortals. Among them, the celestial immortal who controls the mysterious acupoint is the most mysterious.

If the Xuan Guan acupoint is cultivated well, it can secrete the Divine Water of the Big Dipper, which can prolong life and increase strength.

Besides these, there are many other acupoints and points, which are incredibly mysterious.

From the day a person is born, they lose one function each day, which is like locking up one acupoint, so people gradually age until death.

The path to immortality involves temporarily halting the closure of acupoints, or even reopening them, to achieve the goal of longevity.

Therefore, cultivators of the Longevity Sect will have a longer lifespan than cultivators of other sects when they reach the Nascent Soul Realm, and may live to be over 2,500 years old.

This is mainly because when cultivators of the Longevity Sect, they will use the Longevity Merit to open 36,000 acupoints within the Nascent Soul's body, thereby prolonging life, enhancing functions, and laying a foundation.

After the Nascent Soul Realm, the Heavenly Immortal Way involves cultivating an immortal within the body.

Until one cultivates to the point of having 36,000 immortals, each with their own duties, a small Heavenly Immortal Realm is formed within one's own body. The human body's celestial universe is complete, and every gesture and word becomes law. One becomes the Dao, embodying the Heavenly Dao.

Chen Dengming could hardly imagine creating 36,000 immortals within his body, or even creating Heavenly Immortal Realm— such a distant concept.

Currently, he is still in the stage of opening up acupoints and laying the foundation, which is equivalent to opening up blessed lands for the celestial immortals within his body to cultivate in the future.

This was originally a slow and painstaking process of cultivating Spiritual Qi energy and developing Nascent Soul Power, which required a lot of time and effort.

But now, thanks to favorable Heavenly Timing, Chen Dengming only needs to endure the loneliness to pretend that he has completed his cultivation in just over ten days.

At this moment, as the Nascent Soul Power continued to increase, acupoints were opened up within the Nascent Soul's body, and the Nascent Soul's aura became stronger and stronger, with Chen Dengming's imposing presence appearing between his brows.

Time flies like an arrow, and years pass by in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen days passed outside, while fifteen years flew by the Heavenly Longevity Hall.

This day.

As the 36,000th acupoint was opened, the Nascent Soul instantly emitted dazzling light, as if thousands of golden needles were piercing the golden core. The golden core shattered and transformed into even more vast Spiritual Qi, which was absorbed into the Nascent Soul.

Thirty-six thousand pores correspond to thirty-six thousand acupoints, absorbing Spiritual Qi, which naturally gives rise to radiant light.

This is precisely what makes the Heavenly Immortal Way Nascent Soul different.

Therefore, Immortal Method and have long and abundant vital energy.

In the future, with these 36,000 acupoints absorbing Spiritual Qi together, not only will the speed of Spiritual Qi recovery be astonishingly rapid, but the Law Power will also become increasingly profound.

Moreover, the radiant light emitted from these 36,000 acupoints permeates the entire body, forming the Nascent Soul's magnetic field, making it both offensive and defensive.

When inhaling, Spiritual Qi is drawn into the pores of the skin from all directions, forming a protective magnetic aura Nascent Soul body.

During exhalation, turbid air radiates outwards from the pores of the skin all over the body, forming a magnetic light offensive of the Nascent Soul.

With his Nascent Soul now protected by magnetic light, Chen Dengming has successfully condensed his Nascent Soul and officially entered the Nascent Soul Realm.

As the radiant light emanating from the Nascent Soul subsided slightly, Nascent Soul with an appearance exactly like Chen Dengming was revealed, slowly floating and sitting in the Dantian.

This Nascent Soul is like a luminous body, like a light bulb illuminating a dark human body. Its spiritual light illuminates the bright red and delicate muscles, flowing blood vessels, and dense, net-like nerves.

The writhing internal organs, the brain containing countless flowing rivers of memories, and so on...

All of this combined to create a breathtaking and magnificent scene.

This spiritual light was a pure Nascent Soul Power, slowly spreading throughout the body, seeping into the Flesh and Blood, internal organs, and even bones, improving the physique, condensing into the Nascent Soul True Body, and the body exuding a refreshing fragrance.

This process was completely natural.

This is because when he condensed his Golden Core into a Nascent Soul, he absorbed the power of Chen Dengming's Flesh and Blood and blood to condense his Nascent Soul.

Just like a woman carrying a child for ten months, the Nascent Soul is rooted within the golden elixir.

In this way, even if the Physical Body is destroyed in the future, the Nascent Soul can still exist independently of the physical body because it has already absorbed a large amount of the Physical Body's Flesh and Blood energy, and can then possess another Physical Body Seizing rebuild itself.

However, as Chen Dengming's Nascent Soul grew stronger, his physical body also gradually strengthened in tandem.

Now that the Nascent Soul has truly condensed, the Nascent Soul True Body will be formed again, which is a natural process.

This is what the "Ballad of the Golden Core" says, "With immortal skin and bones, a body of gold, and a spiritual fragrance that pervades the mortal world. I possess Nascent Soul with two thousand years of lifespan; may you, too, be an immortal being."

"The Nascent Soul is complete."

Chen Dengming's heart stirred, and he allowed the Nascent Soul to enter the embryonic breathing cultivation stage.

He mobilized the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, transforming it into a wisp of azure cloud that floated and enveloped the Nascent Soul's head, helping him to calm his mind, restrain his desires, and preserve his inner sanctity.

This is to prevent the practitioner from going astray and Qi Deviation after a recent breakthrough.

This 'fire' also refers to a deviation of mind and a lack of concentration, which leads to loss of mental control, the arising of desires, and the birth of the Three Realms of Demonic States.

Now, it's as if a fire has been lit between the Nascent Soul's brows.

The flames burned quietly, steadily and calmly, with a long, steady pulse.

In this state, even if evil spirits invade his mind, he will let his mind be the source of the evil spirits, and he will not be surprised by them. The evil spirits will defeat themselves, and he will not be disturbed.

The Nascent Soul True Body refers not only to the Physical Body but also to the power of the mind, like a golden lotus being refined in fire, true gold is not afraid of being refined by fire.

"Fifteen years have passed in the blink of Nascent Soul eye, and you have already reached the High-grade Innate Dual Spirit Root."

"With your talent, you are second to none in our Longevity Sect. Looking across the entire Cultivation World, I have only seen a handful of people who can rival you. Only the Qu Shenzong can surpass you."

The voice of the First Ancestor, accompanied by a beam of light, came from above.

Chen Dengming opened his eyes, and a long-accumulated spiritual power was suddenly released and spread, its pressure far surpassing that of the Golden Core stage.

He stood up, looked up at the face of the First Ancestor revealed in the Immortal Celestial Dao Crystal above his head, and bowed with a smile.

"No matter how talented I am, I cannot do without your guidance, Ancestor!"

Before acknowledging one's own abilities, one must first thank the mentors who have guided and supported them.

Even if someone is truly capable, it's because they were mentored and guided by their seniors.

The relationship between Bo Le and a thoroughbred horse must not be confused.

Having struggled his way up from the mortal realm to the Cultivation World, Chen Dengming knew all the hardships and joys he had experienced. He understood that even though the First Ancestor was used to flattery, he, as the grand-disciple, couldn't remain silent about expressing his gratitude, as it came from the bottom of his heart.

The First Ancestor said calmly, "If we're talking about mentorship, the upcoming Heavenly Mandate and Heavenly Blessing Palaces are the real extra support I can give you."

The Heavenly Timing and the power of the Dao are not yet sufficient for you, but this is the treatment you should enjoy as Dao Child, and this is also the resource that a Daoist Dao Child should have.

With your current level of strength, you can enjoy this favorable Heavenly Timing for another forty-five years. This is not defying fate, but rather accepting destiny from Heaven!

"I am ordained by Heaven!"

Chen Dengming was shaken, feeling the heavy weight and strong prestige of those four words.

Having received the Immortal Celestial Lineage, if one enjoys blessings, longevity, and prosperity, it can indeed be said that one is ordained by Heaven, blessed with great fortune, and Prosperous Longevity.

The First Ancestor now oversees the three palaces of Fortune, Longevity, and Destiny, controlling the complete Immortal Celestial Lineage. His reappearance directly annihilated a Nascent Spirit Transformation, demonstrating the immense power of the Heavenly Realm. Even someone as powerful as the Yongxin Sword Lord must acknowledge the First Ancestor's ferocity.

This completely sheds the old turtle's reputation for low combat power and transforms it into Dragon Turtle with overwhelming combat strength.

Now he too is expected to enjoy the fruits of others' labor and receive their support.

After the old man and the young man continued their conversation for a while...

Chen Dengming immediately decided that this was a rare opportunity, and he would use the remaining forty-five years of Heavenly Timing to comprehend the Heavenly Destiny Hall and the Heavenly Fortune Hall, especially the Heavenly Fortune Hall.

These two halls do not entirely belong to the Longevity Sect.

The Heavenly Fortune Hall was found by the First Ancestor within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, but he was unable to take it away.

The First Ancestor had a wisp of his spirit sitting in the Heavenly Fortune Hall, while his true self remained anchored in that position. If he wanted to comprehend something, he could only do so through a distant Divine Observation of the First Ancestor.

The Heavenly Destiny Hall belongs to the Tiandao Sect and could be taken back by the Qu Shenzong at any time.

Therefore, the opportunity to comprehend these two halls is extremely rare. Forty-five years is a very short time, and one might not even be able to comprehend anything at all.

However, Chen Dengming was willing to take the gamble; otherwise, he feared he would miss the opportunity and regret it later.

"Since you've already made your decision, I'll take you to the Heavenly Destiny Hall first. After all, it's a real hall, and there's no need for Divine Observation. You might find it easier to comprehend it then. After that, you can visit the Hall of Blessing."

The First Ancestor paused as he spoke, then said, "Heavenly Destiny Hall, there is another person, the Daoist Dao Child of the Tiandao Sect. You should be familiar with him. If you have any questions, you may be able to communicate with him."

I have negotiated with the Qu Shenzong, and the two sects have put aside their past grievances and agreed to share the same lineage. This child will also come to study the Longevity Hall after him.

Chen Dengming was taken aback. "Old Qiao? We know him very well."

"It's good to get to know him. This child hasn't broken through to the Nascent Soul yet, and he doesn't have the Heavenly Timing or resources. He's still absorbing the Immortal Celestial Dao Power. You'll have to wait a day."

"Yes, I will follow the First Ancestor's arrangements."

Chen Dengming bowed and accepted the order.

He hadn't expected that Qiao Zhaoxian would also be there, currently in the Heavenly Destiny Hall.

However, upon closer examination, this is quite normal. It was clearly something that the two sects' ancestors had discussed long ago. Otherwise, the Tiandao Sect would not have so easily handed over the Heavenly Destiny Hall to the First Ancestor.

This is a matter of great importance for the inheritance of a lineage. To hand it directly over to the Longevity Sect, which is also Immortal Celestial Lineage, isn't it a good thing that the Longevity Sect will swallow it up and refuse to give it back?

The fact that Qu Shenzong dared to offer this not only demonstrates his extraordinary vision and strategic thinking, but also suggests that he had made thorough preparations. Longevity Sect would also need to make some concessions and sacrifices.

Poor Qiao Zhaoxian has no Heavenly Timing or resources, and is still patiently absorbing the Immortal Celestial Dao Power. Chen Dengming is not in a hurry and begins to organize the spoils of war that he hastily collected half a month ago.

Half a month ago, with Feng Qingbo's assistance, he killed two Nascent Soul True Lords and obtained three Storage Bag and one Nascent Soul Divine Soul.

Now, including the Nascent Soul Divine Soul of Tan Xiangkun that was previously stuffed into the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, he now possesses two Nascent Soul Divine Soul.

These two Nascent Soul Divine Soul are extremely precious resources that even ghost cultivators would dream of.

Chen Dengming pondered how to deal with these two Nascent Soul Divine Soul.

It was broken up and fed to the Little Array Spirit and the cheap Ghost Old Man Zhu Xun, to help the two ghosts quickly break through to the Nascent Soul.

Or perhaps they should refine both of their Nascent Soul Divine Soul into Nascent Soul Soul Arrow.

While the former approach may seem like keeping the benefits within the family, it doesn't guarantee success.

For a ghost cultivator to condense Ghost Infant and advance to the level of a ghost king is no easy feat.

While the latter method has a higher success rate and will create a powerful weapon after refining the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow, it also carries the risk of being destroyed in future battles. If destroyed, it would be a complete waste.

After pondering for a while, Chen Dengming had already made up his mind.

He was inside the Heavenly Longevity Hall, enjoying the resources of the Heavenly Timing, which meant that the Little Array Spirit and the Ghost Old Man Zhu Xun were also enjoying the Heavenly Timing.

The two ghosts might not be affected as directly and strongly as he was, but they would still benefit to some extent, experiencing about 20-30% of the effect.

He had forty-five years of Heavenly Timing to spare, so he first shattered one of his Nascent Soul Divine Soul to feed the two ghosts. Whoever eventually broke through to the Nascent Soul would be a great help to him.

Having thought this through, Chen Dengming didn't hesitate. He patted his Storage Bag, took out the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, and first chose the unlucky old Nascent Soul who rushed out. In front of the First Ancestor, she did something that spoiled the mood in the Heavenly Longevity Hall.

Destroying Nascent Soul, feeding female ghosts, playing with a giant bow, and loving young ladies—this is Chen Dengming's carefree cultivation life.

Chen Dengming cultivates immortality, and he considers himself upright and honorable, never resorting to demonic methods to destroy people's Nascent Soul; such actions are merely out of necessity.

The First Ancestor said that we, the cultivators of the Longevity Sect, will not act unless necessary, but once we do, we will show no mercy and eliminate any future troubles.

He's a quick learner, putting what he's learned to use immediately.

(Today, Old Deng has successfully formed his Nascent Soul. He is only 10,000 words short of the initial plan of 1.5 million words. It can be considered that he has not delayed the plan. He has successfully formed his Nascent Soul. Fellow Daoists, please vote with your monthly tickets to celebrate.)
