Fortune, Longevity, and Three Daos All Understood! Longevity Rivals Spirit Transmutation, Blessed After Tribulation
Chen Dengming looked deeper into the Fu Hall, where the familiar panel subtitles became even clearer.
"Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator [Chen Dengming]"
Lifespan: 204/826/4555
Spirit Root: Water, Wood (Superior Grade 100/100)
Martial Arts: <Chen Family Martial Arts General Outline> (Sainthood Level 99/100)
Daoist practice: Longevity Merit (completed).
Daoist Lineage: Immortal Celestial Lineage (Longevity, Destiny): Comprehend the Daoist Lineage's Divine Ability [Heavenly Eye], [Eye of the Heavens], [Heavenly Immortal Dao Domain], [Heaven's Will] (blessed by the Longevity Jade Seal);
Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage (Heart): Comprehend the Dao Lineage's Divine Ability [Human Immortal Physique], [Spirit Devouring Technique], [Startling Eye Spirit Refining Art], [Seven Absolute Realms], [Man Conquers Heaven], and others (omitted).
He calmed down and observed the information on the panel in his mind, finding that it was basically consistent with the information inside the Palace of Fortune.
The only difference was that the Lifespan Limit on the panel in his mind fluctuated again at this moment, and the number changed to 4556 years.
This means that his Lifespan Limit has been extended by another year.
Since breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, his Lifespan Limit has increased along with the continuous improvement and strengthening of his Nascent Soul True Body.
This process has been relatively slow and has lasted for more than a decade, during which time his lifespan has increased to 4,555 years, almost reaching the limit of the current stage.
Based on the lifespan of cultivators in the Longevity Sect, his current Lifespan Limit is likely to increase by nearly a hundred years before it gradually comes to an end.
If we take into account his previous lifespan of 2,150 years...
After breaking through to the Nascent Soul, one's lifespan can be increased by approximately 2400 to 2500 years.
The one-year increase in lifespan at this point clearly falls within the category of lifespan that continues to increase slowly thereafter.
However, the information displayed on the panel inside the Blessing Hall remained unchanged.
"The information displayed on the panel inside the Blessing Hall seems to be based on my state when I first came into contact with it. It cannot immediately change according to my state."
"However, my current lifespan is actually 204 years. Could it be that I just spent a very long time meditating in the Heavenly Fortune Hall? Fourteen years have already passed?"
Chen Dengming was slightly puzzled.
Logically, after 16 years of meditation in the Heavenly Destiny Hall, his lifespan should have only reached 190 years.
Now, as he prepares to comprehend the Heavenly Fortune Hall, the year suddenly becomes 204. This means that although it may seem like only a short time has passed from his successful 'enlightenment' to his actual contact with the Heavenly Fortune Hall, fourteen years have actually gone by.
However, Chen Dengming calmed down at this moment because he had seen other things appearing in the Fu Hall.
The shimmering silver-colored Human Immortal Way script, the Human God Hall, the Heart of the Ocean, and the Incense Clone formed from finished Spirit Root all manifested as illusory images, emanating a unique aura, seemingly the 'blessing' of the three energies of fortune, longevity, and life.
These were all extraordinary encounters he had experienced. Any one of them would be considered extremely rare, a dream come true that ordinary cultivators wouldn't even dare to dream of. Indeed, they were all things that brought him great fortune.
Seeing these things reflected one by one in the Heavenly Fortune Hall, Chen Dengming realized that he had been scaring himself.
When the panel appeared Heavenly Fortune Hall before, he thought it was related to the Heavenly Fortune Hall in some way.
However, this is not the case now.
Heavenly Fortune Hall merely reflects all the extraordinary encounters and events he experienced throughout his life.
These things represent his good fortune.
But what is the deeper meaning behind this?
Just as Chen Dengming was pondering, a peculiar attraction emanated from the Heavenly Fortune Hall, drawing upon his very soul.
Its spirit is extraordinary.
Just as Chen Dengming was about to resist, he suddenly caught a message from the attraction and gained enlightenment.
It turns out that even when one is in a state of true Heavenly Heart Realm, one can only Divine Observation the Heavenly Fortune Hall from afar and cannot approach it.
Only those who are truly blessed with great fortune are allowed to enter the Heavenly Fortune Hall.
This is the profound meaning of Heavenly Blessing.
Without good fortune, no matter how strong your abilities or how outstanding your talent, if you lack good fortune, even if the Heavenly Immortal's Palace of Blessings is right in front of you, you will not be able to enjoy it.
Chen Dengming has had so many extraordinary encounters that most people would never experience in their lifetime, so he is naturally considered a person with profound good fortune. His abundant blessings have been recognized by the Heavenly Fortune Hall, and his soul can enter the Heavenly Fortune Hall to receive a baptism of blessings.
He immediately allowed his soul to rush towards the Heavenly Fortune Hall, which seemed to be far away.
At the same time, the panels and other wondrous things that had been formed from the condensation of good fortune all vanished like dream bubbles.
Chen Dengming was quite impressed. This Heavenly Fortune Hall could reflect all the extraordinary things a person had encountered, and even the panel could be detected. It was indeed an ancient Ancient Immortal palace left behind by a celestial being. It had extraordinary abilities and possessed superhuman Immortal Power.
However, this Heavenly Fortune Hall can only reflect the shape of the panel, but not its spirit.
In other words, they know this thing is good, but they don't understand exactly how good it is or how to use it; otherwise, they wouldn't be so rigid and unchanging.
In this way, Chen Dengming actually felt quite relieved.
The control panel was indeed his ultimate secret after his transmigration; it played a crucial role in both his initial martial arts training and his cultivation of immortality.
He would still feel slightly uneasy if Heavenly Fortune Hall were to discover his secret.
This unease, however, also seems somewhat ridiculous.
It's like a tiny Nascent Soul trying to provoke an immortal who may no longer exist.
It doesn't matter if it's just showing its form now.
Simply reading a few lines of subtitles makes it difficult to understand the secrets behind them, unless one is also a transmigrator from a previous life.
However, from another perspective, since even the Heavenly Fortune Hall, which is related to celestial beings, cannot accurately detect this panel, does it mean that it is comparable to it in terms of level, or even slightly superior?
"Could it be something like the Heavenly Dao?"
When this thought flashed through my mind.
His soul has truly entered the Heavenly Fortune Hall.
Instantly, he felt a series of subtle sensations coursing through his soul, much like the feeling of life force enveloping his body that he had experienced before, but even more mysterious, giving Chen Dengming a sense of control over all things, as if divinely ordained.
In an instant, he felt as if he possessed great fortune and blessings, and Great Fortune Reaching the Heavens.
A series of brilliant ideas flashed through my mind, like golden lotuses blooming from the ground.
Many of the previously incomprehensible aspects of Technique Method and Divine Ability were now answered with a sudden flash of inspiration.
Technique Method <Boundless Falling Wood Rustling Down>, Breakthrough!
The Technique Method <Gold Generates Water> has achieved a breakthrough!
The Divine Ability <Seven Absolute Realms>, the state of no-mind, comprehend it!
<Chen Family Martial Arts General Outline>, Breakthrough
That wasn't all. Suddenly, a series of blurry images appeared in Chen Dengming's mind, as if he were blessed by Fortune Shines Brightly and divine protection.
It's like the moon shining brightly after the dark clouds have parted.
Under the protection of Heaven, secrets that are usually difficult to fathom have been partially revealed, revealing a page of divine secrets.
In the scene, numerous eerie and terrifying ghostly figures appear, eventually revealing two Ghost Bride with chilling auras and snow-white faces.
Immediately following, another scene appeared, a horrifying spectacle of sudden flashes of blood. His figure vanished into nothingness within the blood, and in the next instant, the illusory image of the "Human Heart Hall," inscribed with the words "Human hearts waver, the Way of Heavenly Dao is ever-changing," appeared on the two pillars on either side. The scene then abruptly ended...
As the images in his mind faded, Chen Dengming also felt the 'blessing' that had been lingering around his soul dissipate. An irresistible force pushed his soul out of the Heavenly Fortune Hall, gradually returning it to his physical body.
"Were those scenes foreshadowing ominous omens of the future? Is this the end of the blessing baptism at the Heavenly Fortune Hall?"
Chen Dengming's heart stirred, and he blinked, realizing that the Heavenly Fortune Hall, which had been distorted by the blue-green Dao power above his head, had disappeared.
The voice of the First Ancestor came from above.
"Fortune, longevity, and destiny are the three paths of celestial beings. Among them, the path of fortune is elusive, the path of longevity is enduring, and the Fate Dao is mysterious."
"The path to happiness is the most difficult to attain, yet you have actually managed to reach it; you have exceeded my expectations."
After he finished speaking, the First Ancestor fell silent for a moment.
Chen Dengming's performance was completely beyond his expectations, and for a moment he could only sigh in amazement and didn't know what to do.
There are some arrangements that are not appropriate for Chen Dengming at his current level of strength, and it would be inappropriate to mention them.
Chen Dengming bowed and said, "Ancestor, you flatter me. I still need to learn from you. You have already comprehended the three paths of controlling fortune, lifespan, and destiny, and even sent your spirit into the Heavenly Fortune Hall. I, your grand-disciple, have only just scratched the surface and have already been kicked out of the Heavenly Fortune Hall."
The First Ancestor was speechless.
He was able to comprehend the three paths because he had studied the Immortal Celestial Lineage for over four thousand years and had already grasped the ultimate Daoist principles to a very deep level.
With such a commanding perspective, and the presence of the Heavenly Mandate and Heavenly Blessing Palaces, it is naturally easy to comprehend the other two paths.
This brat, after a couple of compliments, actually dared to compare himself to him, the founder of the Longevity Sect. You could call it arrogance, but he certainly has ability; you could only say he's a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.
At this moment, Chen Dengming recounted the two scenes he had just experienced through a spiritual connection, and, taking advantage of the presence of the First Ancestor, performed a dream interpretation on the spot.
After listening, the First Ancestor calmly said, "Heavenly blessings will help you foresee dangers and avoid misfortune. The two scenes you sensed are the dangers you may encounter next."
You should also be able to find clues based on the information shown in the images and take preventative measures in advance.
Chen Dengming nodded slightly, his expression solemn.
He had already made a connection: those two eerie Ghost Bride might actually be the Netherworld Ghost Lord from the Below the Yin Spring.
The Ghost King Qian Luo died at his hands, and the Netherworld Ghost Lord will certainly not be satisfied.
But what is the meaning behind the other scene of carnage?
Could it be that the Three Saints Palace, another enemy force, will bring him bloodshed?
The First Ancestor continued, "Fortune, longevity, and destiny—these are the tribulations you are destined to face. Heavenly blessings can help you avoid misfortune and attract good fortune."
However, you have not yet mastered the blessings of heaven, so you cannot directly avoid danger. This is the misfortune that accompanies blessings. Even if others intervene to help you, it does not count as you overcoming it on your own. Not only will there be no future blessings, but other misfortunes will still appear in the future.
If you take precautions and avert disaster, you will surely be blessed with good fortune.
"Is this what they mean by 'misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and blessing may be a misfortune in disguise'? If I understand my fate and follow the will of Heaven's Will, I will naturally be protected by good fortune. Good people are always blessed by Heaven, and after overcoming calamity, I will have good fortune in the future."
Chen Dengming understood immediately, feeling that he had truly come into contact with the Dao of the Celestial Immortals. He nodded and bowed, indicating that he had received the instruction.
Before he came into contact with fate and fortune, he might have thought that talking about these things seemed mystical.
But after actually experiencing it, you have no choice but to believe many things.
Because this Cultivation World contains mysterious things like the Heavenly Dao and Ancient Immortal.
Fate and fortune can also manifest extraordinary and mysterious powers. It is normal for these ethereal things to manifest, and there are rules and patterns within them.
After receiving some guidance from the First Ancestor, Chen Dengming suddenly realized that the Heavenly Timing weather around him seemed to have weakened, as if it were fading away, and he was taken aback.
The face of the First Ancestor appeared in the blue light of the Dao Stone above, emanating a majestic and resonant voice.
"You have spent twenty-eight years comprehending the Heavenly Fortune Hall, and the Heavenly Timing and resources available to you are less than a year away."
After you have made some preparations and gathered your resources, you can leave with the Daoist Dao Child of the Tiandao Sect. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me."
"Time flies so fast? It's true what they say, cultivation knows no Jiazi. One moment of enlightenment, and the next, more than twenty years have passed."
Chen Dengming was surprised, but not entirely unexpected.
He had already anticipated this when he observed the panel messages earlier.
However, this kind of sudden enlightenment, which occurred nearly thirty years ago, was a first for him.
Only then did I realize that the saying "seven days in the mountains are equivalent to a thousand years in the world" was not an exaggeration.
He hadn't experienced that before, perhaps because his cultivation level wasn't high enough.
After thanking the First Ancestor for the reminder, Chen Dengming immediately had a thought: to first have the three Heavenly Immortal Clones, who had been cultivating for forty-four years, finish their cultivation of the <Heavenly Immortal Art> and come close to him to 'hand in their homework'.
His true self did not comprehend the <Heavenly Immortal Art>; it was entirely comprehended and cultivated by his three avatars.
Now, more than forty years later, there have naturally been some achievements.
However, the Martial Immortal Clone that was formed twenty-eight years ago was affected by the main body and accidentally entered the state of no mind, thus going to the Human Heart Hall. It had already exhausted its Mental Strength again and perished in the Human Heart Hall.
However, he has now been blessed with good fortune, and his mind is bursting with inspiration like golden lotuses emerging from the ground.
It has been basically figured out how the Martial Immortal Clone grasped the special state between "Man Conquers Heaven" and the Seven Absolute Realms, allowing him to briefly and safely enter the "Mindless" state, thus allowing his mind to enter the Human Heart Hall.
At this moment, the three Heavenly Immortal Clones' avatars extended their palms.
The insights and experiences gained from over forty years of studying the "Heavenly Immortal Art" also flooded into Chen Dengming's mind.
Many of these insights overlap with existing experiences.
The three Heavenly Immortal Clones, after all, inherited his thoughts and comprehension.
Despite our efforts to differentiate them.
However, following the inertia of thought, many things that are understood at the same time will still lead to the same path.
Therefore, even if the three clones cultivated together for more than forty years, their final understanding of the Heavenly Immortal Art would not be as simple as one plus one equals two.
It might be that adding three ones together only equals two, which is a rather inefficient process.
Ten days later.
Chen Dengming's 36,000 pores emitted spiritual light, his whole body felt as if it were bathed in spiritual rain, the Nascent Soul Power flowed continuously within his body, and his mind and body felt full and complete, having fully received all the cultivation experience transmitted from the spiritual imprint by his three avatars.
His status changed within the panel.
"Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator [Chen Dengming]"
Lifespan: 219/841/4725
Spirit Root: Water, Wood (Superior Grade 100/100)
Martial Arts: <Chen Family Martial Arts General Outline> (Immortal Martial Arts 1/100)
Daoist techniques: Longevity Merit (Completed), Heavenly Immortal Art (Initial Stage 591/36000).
Daoist lineage: Immortal Celestial Lineage (blessings, longevity, destiny): others omitted.
In the fifteen years that passed swiftly during his enlightenment in the Heavenly Fortune Hall, his Nascent Soul True Body was completely perfected, and his Lifespan Limit also increased to the perfection of his current realm.
Furthermore, having comprehended the Heavenly Immortal Art, his Technique Method of Gold Generates Water, and his martial arts also broke through, thus extending his lifespan by seventy years.
This also resulted in his Lifespan Limit reaching an astonishing 4,700 years.
Even after deducting the more than 800 years of lifespan already consumed, there are still more than 3,800 years of lifespan to live, which is almost comparable to many Spirit Transformation monsters.
Because most of the powerful cultivators who have reached the Spirit Transformation stage have been cultivating for over a thousand years, advancing only when their Lifespan Limit.
Even if one's cultivation level increases and one's lifespan is extended to the five-thousand-year limit, one can only live for another three thousand years.
"My current lifespan is comparable to that of other Nascent Spirit Transformation, except for exceptionally talented individuals like my own ancestor. Most importantly, I am still relatively young."
Chen Dengming nodded in satisfaction, stroked his beard, which had grown to his chest over the past sixty years, and shook his head with a smile.
A sharp glint of light flashed between their fingers.
In an instant, his chin hairs fell off one by one.
Before it even landed inside the hall, it was shattered into dust by the life force of the Heavenly Heart Palace and disappeared without a trace, leaving not a speck of dust.
This time, following the First Ancestor to cultivate under the Heavenly Timing was a tremendous success, completely making up for the loss of cultivation Dao Child in previous years, and even receiving an extra subsidy.
For nearly a year afterward, Chen Dengming prepared for the tribulation he would face after emerging from seclusion, refining one by one the fourth-tier Law Treasure he had obtained from the two Nascent Soul cultivators, such as the Hundred Bone Thousand Soul Chariot and the Beast Restraining Ring.
It was the Soul -Soul-Reaping Bow Staff obtained from the Soul Devouring Old Devil, and the Nascent Soul Divine Soul of Tan Xiangkun, the Three Saints Palace Saint Son, sealed within the bow and staff. He now has the ability to refine it and make it completely available to me.
For Nascent Soul ordinary Nascent Soul, even if they have the favor of their sect or are bestowed treasures by Spirit Transformation elder, possessing two fourth-tier Law Treasure is already considered extremely valuable and indicates great wealth.
Chen Dengming had just reached the Nascent Soul and already possessed five fourth-tier Law Treasure.
He can refine and use three of them.
There are two other items that can be bartered later to exchange for more suitable magical Law Treasure.
With such armament, and the two great Dao lineages of Celestial Person Immortals bestowed upon him, he was not too worried or troubled about the calamities that might occur in the future.
"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."
Sixty years of seclusion had been unbearable. After I came out, I continued to keep a low profile, but anyone who dared to cross me could get away with it and I could finally vent my frustrations...
Chen Dengming secretly vowed that if it was Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord, then he would pretend he hadn't said it.
Based on his ability to contend with Nascent Soul Middle Stage Nascent Soul before breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
If we think boldly now, he could probably hold his own against Nascent Soul Late Stage.
If you encounter an enemy at the Nascent Soul Perfection, you may need to flee for your life.
This was because he was blessed with good fortune, accumulated knowledge and skills, and came into contact with the Heavenly Fortune Hall, comprehended the state of no-mind, and thus had a trump card to protect his life in the future.
If I hadn't had so much good fortune and accumulated so much merit before, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come into contact with the Heavenly Fortune Hall at all this time, and it would have been very difficult for me to comprehend the Mindless Realm of the Seven Absolute Realms.
In comparison, breakthroughs in Technique Method such as Gold Generates Water are merely incidental and insignificant.
Because those were Technique Method he could improve with just time, far less important than the Heartless Realm that involved the Human Heart Hall.
