The Grand Ambition of the Heart Hall's Master! It Never Ends-I Can't Absorb It All!
A generation of Blood God, Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord who lived for nearly four thousand years, fell, and Chen Dengming personally participated in and helped in the process.
Even with his State of Mind, Chen Dengming couldn't help but feel a ripple of excitement and accomplishment at that moment.
At the very moment the Blood God perished, his body and soul utterly destroyed, the pent-up resentment of the many worshippers, with nowhere to vent, suddenly swept across the land, accompanied by pitiful screams.
Some of them, following the extinguished lamps, tried to rush into the Human Heart Hall, but they all failed to enter and were blocked outside, wandering aimlessly and gradually dissipating.
"The incense has backfired."
Chen Dengming frowned slightly. "After the Blood God died, these Incense Believer lost their faith and collapsed, losing their object of faith. They turned into resentment. This resentment had nowhere to go, so it followed the cause-and-effect relationship and entangled itself with the object that destroyed the Blood God."
"It seems that Senior Dongfang might not only be entangled with two Spirit Transmutation Dao Lords, but also with the resentment of these believers."
Despite pondering this in his mind, Chen Dengming was not worried about Dongfang Huayuan's safety.
This formidable figure is said to have once fought against two Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord simultaneously, and even had a record of severely injuring a Nascent Spirit Transformation of the same realm. Spirit Transformation are also very difficult to kill, and it's not so easy for them to get into trouble.
Moreover, this was in the reclaimed territory of the Eastern Region, and the Spirit Transformation Counterattack Cultivator Alliance were no pushovers.
However, he absolutely cannot go out now. He must wait until the resentment of the Incense Believer of the Blood God dissipates before he can leave. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he were entangled in the resentment of the worshippers of the Spirit Transformation.
Chen Dengming looked at the lamp of the Northern Yin Holy Mother.
But the flame in the lamp remained still, showing no sign of any emotional fluctuation.
Even though she was an enemy, he couldn't help but secretly admire the Northern Yin Holy Mother for her remarkable attainments in the Spiritual Realm. After suffering a loss once, she guarded her heart strictly, not giving him any opportunity to take advantage of her.
However, things are different when it's the Ruthless Old Devil.
The Old Devil's emotions were now fluctuating even more intensely, mixed with fear, clearly because the giant deer had caught up with the Old Devil's Nascent Soul and was now entangled with it.
However, even if Chen Dengming wanted to pursue this demon, he couldn't go out immediately.
His gaze fell upon the lamp that belonged to Su Yan Yan.
With a thought, his Divine Sense swept into the flame of the lamp and made contact with Su Yan Yan.
"Senior sister, what's the situation outside?"
Outside, amidst a snow-covered forest, Su Yan Yan, who was protecting the injured Chai Shun, the Dragon Spirit Island, along with Jiang Jian, suddenly paused, her usually calm face flashing with barely concealed surprise.
She felt a very familiar spiritual power surge into her clear and bright mind.
This strange, sensitive, and dangerous feeling was nothing short of an intrusion, compelling her to retaliate immediately.
But at that moment, they heard a faint voice from the soul, seemingly separated by a distant time and space.
"Senior sister, what's the situation outside?"
"Junior Brother Chen?"
Su Yan Yan held her breath slightly, her eyes flashing with a strange light. She made a hand gesture to Jiang Jian, who had noticed something amiss, and then quickly responded to Chen Dengming in her mind.
"It's very dangerous outside right now. It seems that the Venerable Lord Dongfang Huayuan has killed the Blood God, but two Spirit Transformation cultivators from outside the realm have suddenly arrived and started fighting. They've both gone to the Spirit Thunder Layer, and we don't know the specifics."
Where is the Northern Yin Holy Mother?
"She escaped with serious injuries. Her Physical Body was almost half destroyed, but she used the Earth Immortal Dao Power to escape into the earth. She could turn the earth into steel with her fingers, making it very difficult for us to catch up."
Of the other two Nascent Soul Cultivators, one survived while the other Nascent Soul. We also have some injured. Island Master Chai is in serious condition and needs to immediately change his Physical Body to start cultivating again. Junior Brother, how are you now?
"I'm fine. I'm hiding in a secluded place. Since you're all safe, I'll come out and meet up with you later."
After Chen Dengming finished communicating with Su Yan Yan, he felt a wave of palpitations and weakness, and his spirits collapsed.
He immediately realized that this was due to excessive Mental Strength exertion.
Maintaining the Seven Absolute Realms, a supernatural Divine Ability of the human immortals, not only consumes a lot of Human Immortal Way Power, but also requires Mental Strength.
Even if danger arises, you can hide inside, but you can't hide here forever.
The Human Immortal Way Power can be replenished within the Human Heart Hall, so there is no immediate worry, but Mental Strength is difficult to recover quickly.
Chen Dengming patted his Storage Bag, took out Heart Mending Pill, and slowly recovered.
He then seized the opportunity, sat quietly in the hall, and continued to absorb the Daoist texts and wisps of auspicious cloud power from above. He circulated the <Heavenly Immortal Art> to quickly refine the auspicious cloud power and enhance his cultivation.
Since it's a rare opportunity to visit this Human Heart Hall, I should make the most of the time to absorb its inherited power.
Back when he was in the Golden Core Mid Stage, he relied on a Martial Immortal Clone to absorb the power of twelve auspicious clouds in the Human Heart Hall, which saved him at least twenty years of arduous cultivation.
Now, the auspicious cloud power within this Human Heart Hall is incredibly dense, and as for exactly how many strands there are, it is already unknown.
Countless, simply impossible to count.
Chen Dengming devoted himself to cultivation, wanting to receive as much inheritance as possible before his Mental Strength was exhausted.
This is the first time his true form has entered the Human Heart Hall since breaking through to the Nascent Soul.
This may be the first time in thousands of years that a successor has entered the Human Heart Hall.
The state of no-mind within the Seven Absolute Realms is subtle yet dangerous.
Even though Chen Dengming has already grasped the essence, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to successfully enter the state of no-mind and enter the Human Heart Hall every time.
However, having established a successful experience this time, he is confident that he will have a high probability of success next time. The inherited power within the Human Heart Hall will eventually be his.
"Senior Dongfang obtained the Human Strength Hall, his combat strength is already top-tier among those who have reached the Spirit Transformation. If I can control the Human Heart Hall in the future, it will be as if I have a complete Dao artifact for the Human God Hall."
Thinking of the Human God Hall.
Chen Dengming was having a headache.
It seems that this Human God Hall has now been locked down by Dongfang Huayuan.
The opposing side had even deployed multiple secondary deities to guard the Human God Hall, demonstrating their determination to succeed.
If he wants to obtain the Human God Hall, he might have to compete with Dongfang Huayuan the future.
However, he is not without his advantages.
Once he achieves perfect harmony between mind and body and gains control of the Human Heart Hall, it will be easier for him to seize the Human God Hall.
Focus your mind, and even more auspicious clouds will surge forth.
Chen Dengming's 36,000 pores seemed to be lit up, radiating light, and he was bathed in auspicious cloud energy, which he slowly refined and absorbed.
Only then did Chen Dengming vaguely discern where this auspicious cloud-like aura came from.
It seems somewhat similar to the aura that lingered within the Heavenly Immortal Realm when the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng opened Heavenly Immortal Realm.
In other words, this aura seems to originate from the ancient Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the distant human and immortal realms, also known as 'Immortal Qi'.
No wonder that even a mere wisp of auspicious cloud contained a power far exceeding that of ordinary Spiritual Qi, almost equivalent to three times the Nascent Soul Power.
If it were Spiritual Qi, even the Spiritual Qi of Fourth-Rank Spirit Vein, Chen Dengming would need to absorb and cultivate the <Heavenly Immortal Art> to complete a Greater Celestial Circuit and traverse 36,000 acupoints before it could be transformed into three strands of Nascent Soul Power.
Two days pass after one complete cycle of the Greater Celestial Circuit.
But now, this wisp of auspicious cloud energy, once absorbed, can be transformed into three strands of Nascent Soul Power, greatly saving him the hard work of cultivation.
The Nascent Soul inside the body opened its mouth wide to breathe in the auspicious cloud energy, as if drinking milk, feeling completely comfortable. Each breath of auspicious cloud energy could strengthen its aura and cause its spiritual light to surge, making it practically stronger while lying down.
"No wonder in ancient times, everyone was like a dragon, and even those Spirit Transformation were only minor cultivators. Back then, not only were there many rare and precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but the Spiritual Qi contained in the air was also of a much higher quality."
No, it's Immortal Qi.
Perhaps it is because of the abundant Immortal Qi that so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures have been nurtured, and even those born with immortal seeds have been created.
Back then, there were very few Daoist methods, and many High Antiquity Qi cultivators were figuring things out as they went, yet they still managed to cultivate the Dao using simple breathing techniques. It was truly a case of sitting on the cusp of the times; even a pig could fly!
Chen Dengming sighed inwardly, noting that the proficiency level of the <Heavenly Immortal Art> on the panel was also continuously improving.
"<Heavenly Immortal Art> (Initial Stage 613/36000). (614/360000)."
Almost every time he absorbed and refined a wisp of auspicious cloud energy, his proficiency in the Heavenly Immortal Art increased by one point.
At this moment, as strands of Immortal Celestial Dao Power were refined, a feeling of gradually becoming Mental Strength welled up in his heart again.
The Heart Mending Pill I just took is working, but it's not being used up as quickly as it's being consumed.
At this rate of consumption, it's difficult to absorb all the dense auspicious cloud energy around you before your Mental Strength is exhausted.
"The situation outside is dangerous right now, not a suitable time for cultivation. It wouldn't be right for me to exhaust all my Mental Strength. It seems I'll have to find a safer time and environment to come in next time."
Although Chen Dengming felt regret, he was also decisive after assessing the situation.
He immediately began absorbing the surrounding Daoist texts.
These Dao inscriptions are not the main Dao inscriptions inherited from the Human God Hall; they are smaller in size, and each one contains less Dao power.
However, there are many of them, and each one seems to contain profound mysteries of the martial Martial Dao Divine Ability of immortals.
Chen Dengming quickly absorbed these Daoist texts. Even if he didn't refine them in a short time, he could still increase his Daoist power considerably. After refining them all in the future, he could further enhance his understanding of the supernatural Divine Ability of human immortals.
With the addition of these Daoist texts, his Daoist power will increase, making his use of the Ancient Human Immortal Physique more powerful, longer-lasting, and larger in scale.
After half a cup of tea.
Through a renewed telepathic connection with Su Yan Yan, Chen Dengming confirmed that there was no immediate danger outside, and that no Spirit Transformation experts were fighting nearby, so there would be no tragic incident of innocent bystanders being caught in the crossfire.
He immediately relaxed his control over his mind, and his figure gradually transformed into countless tiny dots. This time, instead of rising upwards, he rapidly spun and plummeted downwards.
The starry sky was vast and the snow was white. A sense of oppression pervaded the area, and the Spiritual Qi in the air within a thousand miles was extremely thin, making it seem like a barren land.
Auroras frequently appeared in the Sky Dome.
Every now and then, awe-inspiring streaks of light would emerge from the Spirit Thunder Layer in the distant night sky, then slowly shrink and dissipate, turning into a black hole and gradually disappearing.
Suddenly, a burly, naked figure appeared out of thin air above the ravaged Battlefield and slowly descended.
"Puff--"
The moment Chen Dengming appeared, a jet of blood shot out from his palm, and blood also gushed out from between his eyebrows, flowing down his nose and nostrils in a shocking manner. A wave of dizziness and sharp pain shot through his head.
"Hiss--"
Despite the excruciating pain, Chen Dengming landed on the snow. He looked down at his right hand, which was almost ripped open, Flesh and Blood with Flesh and Blood bones and veins clearly visible inside.
Furthermore, a powerful force lingers within the Flesh and Blood, preventing wounds from healing and counteracting the interference of the Nascent Soul Power.
This severe condition was also present at the wound between his eyebrows.
However, this power seems to be like water without a source, gradually waning.
"The Blood God's Spirit Transformation power? It's indeed troublesome. Thankfully, that old bastard is already dead."
Chen Dengming's eyes changed slightly, and then he gathered azure-blue Immortal Celestial Dao Power in his eyes, converging it on his palm to quickly dissipate this Spirit Transformation power.
The Nascent Soul Power cultivator is unlikely to shake the power of Spirit Transformation.
However, the superior Immortal Celestial Dao Power can shake the power of Spirit Transformation.
It took Chen Dengming nearly 40 Immortal Celestial Dao Power to completely deplete the Spirit Transformation power in his palms and between his brows, and he couldn't help but gasp in shock.
This Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord is truly not someone a mere Nascent Soul Cultivator can contend with.
Even though the Blood God is already dead, the residual Spirit Transformation power from the wounds he inflicted on him before his death is difficult to dispel.
This is still with his combined Daoist power.
Without the power of the Dao, I'm afraid I can only watch helplessly as my injuries worsen, and the situation will become even more dire.
Although the injury is severe, there is no need to use the last Life Returning Pill Medicinal Power yet.
Chen Dengming quickly used the <Reverse Glory Spring Return Technique> to heal his injuries.
In this battle, he sustained multiple injuries, with the least severe being a claw strike to his back from the Ruthless Old Devil Tao Tian.
The injury to his right hand was already severe enough, but the area between his eyebrows was even worse. His brow bone had been pierced, causing air to leak out and pulling at his Purple Mansion and Sea of Consciousness, resulting in a headache.
Fortunately, now that the power of the Spirit Transformation has been expelled, his injuries are recovering quickly thanks to the replenishment of the surrounding Rong Qi.
He had entered the Seven Absolute Realms at a critical moment, which allowed him to escape a life-or-death ordeal.
However, even the Seven Absolute Realms only transform one's Essence, Qi, and Spirit into nothingness for a fleeting moment before entering the formless state.
After exiting the Seven Absolute Realms and regaining his physical form, he will return to the state he was in before entering the Seven Absolute Realms, which is the state he was in when he was injured.
Therefore, these injuries will not disappear into thin air when one enters the Seven Absolute Realms and becomes formless.
Several dozen breaths later.
A faint, elegant fragrance wafted by.
Su Yan Yan, with her graceful figure, flew over on the Law Treasure Cyan Lightning Pearl, wearing a light and thin veil. When she saw Chen Dengming, who was in a disheveled state but was fortunately unharmed, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She twirled and descended, her robes fluttering, like a true celestial being descending to earth, a truly beautiful sight.
Sensing Su Yan Yan's mix of worry and relief, Chen Dengming laughed nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, I won't die. The Blood God is dead, but I'm still alive, hahaha."
The laughter that followed turned to sorrow, aggravating his wounds and causing him to wince in pain.
Su Yan Yan lifted her veil, revealing her elegant and pretty face, which could express both joy and anger. She gave Chen Dengming a hesitant look, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Knowing you're tough and resilient, who would worry about you?"
"Those with thick skin and tough flesh are old turtles; I'm at best a little turtle!"
Chen Dengming chuckled and got up from the ground.
"Alright, I'll take that as you referring to Master and Senior Brother Second Senior Brother."
"Hey, no, no, how could I dare to talk nonsense? Even if I were to say 'old tortoise,' I'd say he's an old tortoise from the Five Elements Escape Sect." Chen Dengming shamelessly leaned closer.
Su Yan Yan couldn't help but chuckle, but not wanting Chen Dengming to see her expression, she turned away with her hands behind her back and said, "Senior Five Elements Dao Lord of the Five Elements Escape Sect may have already arrived and is still fighting."
"Ah?"
Chen Dengming immediately looked up, following the undulating light in the distance, and gazed at the murky clouds in the night sky that were occasionally illuminated by a blinding glare.
Their spiritual senses detected a terrifying spiritual power emanating from that direction, a power that sent chills down their spines.
This is despite the vast distance between them.
If Spirit Transformation stage experts were fighting nearby, this area within a thousand miles would probably have been razed to the ground long ago, and countless lives would have been lost.
Seeing this, Chen Dengming's expression turned serious.
Su Yan Yan said, "Don't worry, unless one has an absolute advantage, it's rare for a life-or-death situation to occur between Spirit Transformation experts. They probably won't fight for long."
As for Island Master Chai, his condition is quite bad now. My Second Senior Brother and I have used our Dao power to expel the Spirit Transformation power from his wounds.
However, he had already been attacked even at the Nascent Soul, and his injuries are now serious; he needs to return immediately for treatment.
"Nascent Soul injured? That serious?"
Chen Dengming frowned.
Injury to the Nascent Soul may even affect the process of Body Seizing and rebuilding.
In the case of Body Seizing, top-tier sects usually have some preparations.
For example, a physical immortal embryo formed from rare and precious treasures is stronger than the Physical Body of an ordinary cultivator, or the corpse of a young cultivator who has just died, and so on.
Even without preparation, sects like the Lingyin Sect of the Western Demon Sea and the Iron Armor Sect of the Eastern Immortal Sea can actually provide suitable Physical Body.
However, if there is a problem with the Nascent Soul, there will be certain risks involved in Body Seizing.
This Chai Shun, in a way, shielded him from disaster.
If the Blood God were to attack him directly, he would likely be killed on the spot, without any time or room to maneuver.
An assassination attempt by a Spirit Transformation expert, even if the Spirit Transformation is injured, is something that an ordinary Nascent Soul cannot withstand.
After a quick exchange, Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan decided that Su Yan Yan and the others should return first, while he would go to find the Giant Deer and track down the Nascent Soul of the Ruthless Old Devil.
"No!"
Su Yan Yan frowned. "It's too dangerous. These Spirit Transformation are still fighting, and that Ruthless Old Devil is also fleeing in the Southern Region. It would be very dangerous for you to chase after him."
Chen Dengming shook his head and smiled, "Have you forgotten how I just escaped the Blood God's assassination attempt?"
Su Yan Yan was taken aback, speechless for a moment, but still unwilling to give in.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I won't take any risks rashly. I roughly know the Old Devil's location. Before he even entered the Southern Region, he was already cornered by the Giant Deer."
Chen Dengming looked into the distance, "And they're helping me too."
A series of howls from vengeful spirits, accompanied by a chilling, ghostly aura, rapidly approached.
The Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun rode the White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot, carrying the Little Array Spirit on the chariot and two Ghost Bride, and sped over.
The two Ghost Bride were now tightly bound by the Little Array Spirit's Red Rhombus, humiliated and lying on the soul chariot, their limbs held down by pale ghostly claws. The scene was erotic as they were jostled around.
This scene made Chen Dengming feel awkward. He immediately turned his head to look at Su Yan Yan and saw that his senior sister still had a calm expression and did not seem to think much of it. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After Chen Dengming turned his head, Su Yan Yan's ears turned slightly red. The words of dissuasion that were about to come out could only be a soft "hmm". She stared deeply at the back of Chen Dengming's head, which was a head taller than hers, and breathed out softly, just like her former martial uncle.
"Take care of yourself, don't be reckless, prioritize your life, and come back as soon as possible."
"Good!"
