The Clone Is in Peril and Self-Destructs! Chen Qingniu, Divine Physician of the Mortal World

By taking others as a mirror, we can understand our own gains and losses.

Between gain and loss lies the ebb and flow of one's State of Mind.

Observing the lives of mortals in the world of cultivation, Chen Dengming seemed to undergo a baptism of transformation into a mortal.

He didn't return to his sect after just a quick glance; instead, he eagerly entered the Human Heart Hall to continue receiving the inheritance and improving his strength.

The elevation and peace of State of Mind gained allowed him to experience the simplicity and authenticity of life, without being impatient for quick success.

It has been said in the Human World that the Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree, cut off his own flesh to feed an eagle, sacrificed himself for righteousness, and finally attained enlightenment.

Some great Confucian scholars traveled the world, cultivating their minds and character, and eventually became saints.

There was a scholar who was learned about Celestial Person, and possessed a noble and righteous spirit. He could compose a poem in seven steps. Once he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, he immediately formed a golden elixir, and golden lotuses sprang from the ground.

Regardless of whether these rumors are true or false, Chen Dengming now shares the same feeling, as if he has the Unseen.

The improvement in his State of Mind will not cause his cultivation to fall too far behind in the future, which seems to confirm the principle that "human strength has its limits, but the mind has no limits."

Immediately, he left behind a Heavenly Immortal Clone to guard the sect.

Alone, he went to the mortal world to live among many ordinary people and experience a unique kind of mortal life. Only occasionally did he enter the Human Heart Hall to observe the state of the Soul Devouring Old Devil and the Northern Yin Holy Mother.

The former is currently limited by his Strength Realm, which has not yet recovered to its peak, and is often unknowingly invaded by him on multiple occasions.

Often, they inadvertently reveal a lot of information about the Demonic Sect.

Even the last time the information was leaked by the Six Paths of the Devil Palace, which led to a great victory for the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, just as Chen Dengming had predicted, resulted in the Six Paths of the Devil Palace launching a fierce high-level reorganization and self-examination.

As a result, there was no reason to doubt the Soul Devouring Old Devil Nascent Soul Demon, a veteran demon who had just returned to the Nascent Soul stage.

After all, even he himself was unaware that he had leaked information, so how could he have been exposed?

However, although the culprit was not ultimately identified, this incident caused widespread panic among the six members of the Demonic Sect, sowing seeds of distrust among them.

In addition, the inner fire of the Northern Yin Holy Mother gradually showed signs of fluctuation.

This means that as time went on, even the extremely cautious Northern Yin Holy Mother gradually relaxed her guard against the mind and began to let her guard down.

This is naturally a good sign, meaning that Chen Dengming will find it much easier to deal with this troublesome old woman in the future.

In addition to observing these two, Chen Dengming also maintained contact with the Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun.

Since Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun the traces of the Little Array Spirit more than a year ago, the Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun has repeatedly entered the River Styx to investigate and search for it.

The River Styx is vast and has a long history, its basin almost covering the entire world Below the Yin Spring, no less than the four seas on Human World.

The land of the Ghost Realm is actually the part of the land that is exposed above the surface of the River Styx. It is composed of even rarer Yin soil and its total area is less than 30% of the River Styx. It has been occupied by many Yin Spring Ghost Lord as their territory.

On the Yin Earth, there are eighty-one Yin Springs, which are the only passage connecting the ghost realm and the Human World.

Therefore, from the moment the Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun discovered the clues related to the Little Array Spirit, to his step-by-step search within the River Styx, he was essentially just retracing the old path the Little Array Spirit had taken, following the clues it had left behind, and searching within the vast River Styx.

Such a search is unlikely to yield results in a short period of time.

Unless the Little Array Spirit didn't go far and left a trace somewhere, it could stay in that area for a long time.

Chen Dengming used to feel excited and delighted when he heard news about Little Array Spirit and Xu Wei.

But now, as Zhu Xun continues his in-depth search, that initial excitement has gradually subsided.

He was fully prepared that it would be difficult to find the two souls of the Little Array Spirit and Xu Wei in the vast River Styx in a short time.

I only hope that Zhu Xun can find a further path Below the Yin Spring, condense Ghost Infant as soon as possible, and advance to become a Ghost King.

Time flies, and more than six years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It was the golden autumn season, with pine and cypress trees as green as flowing water and red leaves as fiery as fire.

Between the Mingyun Mountain Range, a beam of spiritual light swiftly swept across the peaks, spreading a powerful spiritual aura before instantly plunging into the vibrant and colorful forest.

But before they could escape far, streaks of light rapidly approached from several directions, encircling them. Each of them emanated a spiritual power that was no weaker than the last, revealing three Golden Core Great Cultivators.

Two of them deployed flying swords and Law Treasure to attack the fleeing ethereal figure.

"Fellow Daoist, who are you? Quickly give up the resistance!"

"A bunch of traitors!"

The fleeing figure was instantly enveloped in dazzling Silver Light, transforming into a small giant nearly ten feet tall. Its muscles bulged rapidly, twisting and knotting like the roots of an old tree, with countless bluish-black blood vessels bulging and coiling like earthworms.

A powerful yet obscure aura, accompanied by a wildly rising momentum, spread out.

"What?"

"This is?"

The three people who were surrounding them all changed their expressions.

With a clang, a large hand with veins as if wrapped like chains punched away the incoming flying sword. A gap appeared on the fist, but it was quickly restored by Spiritual Qi.

Boom!--

This imposing and ferocious figure, like a maddened chariot, suddenly rushed in front of one of the Golden Core Great Cultivator and grabbed him with its large hand.

Whoosh!--

The air within hundreds of feet seemed to collapse and sink into a deep pool, with an incredibly strong suction force emanating from the Silver Light hand, even affecting the spellcasting of the three Golden Core cultivators.

Human Immortal Divine Ability - Spirit Devouring Technique!

The person being surrounded was none other than Chen Dengming's Martial Immortal Clone.

"Ah--"

The Golden Core Cultivator was at the forefront roared, and a dazzling ring of lightning erupted from the talisman in front of him, shaking off the suction vortex.

But just as its body was pulled back by the impact, a fist radiating Silver Light came crashing down, unleashing a highly condensed column of Qi Pillar.

The intense danger caused the Golden Core Cultivator's expression to change drastically, but he only had time to quickly activate his protective robes.

Boom!!

The violently condensed Silver Light fist energy spiraled, instantly tearing through the protective robes. The robes shattered and turned into countless pieces of cloth that fluttered down.

"Ugh--" The Golden Core Great Cultivator's body was jolted as if struck by lightning, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His chest cracked with a sound, collapsed, and a large cloud of blood mist burst out through the pores on his back.

"Clang! Clang!--"

Just then, a massive, heavy, golden bell emitted a resounding sound, shaking the air and slamming into the small, Silver Light- glowing figure. Ripples spread through the air wherever it passed.

The Martial Immortal Clone immediately felt an extremely strong pressure. After being enveloped by the yellow light emitted by the bell, it was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his head, not to mention the awe-inspiring sound waves.

A thought transformed into a command, which suddenly arose within the mind of the Martial Immortal Clone.

Self-destruct!

A vast power, like a raging sea, suddenly surged from the Martial Immortal Clone's clone, and the spiritual Spiritual Qi that had just been absorbed by the Spirit Devouring Technique also exploded.

Crackling sound --

The Martial Immortal Clone's skin instantly developed clear cracks as if glass had shattered, and a blinding spiritual light flashed, emanating an incomparably dangerous and terrifying aura of death.

"Not good!!"

The three Golden Core Great Cultivators' expressions changed drastically.

Boom!!--

The ground and the air shook violently.

An overwhelming force surged and spread instantly, as turbulent as the Yangtze River, bursting through the dam and pouring in all directions, forming a fierce and transparent circular shockwave.

Instantly, the wind and waves surged within a radius of a hundred feet across the entire mountain forest, forming a wall of chaos, and the stream water surged back and overflowed into the sky.

Countless stones and sand were thrown up by the shockwave and flew everywhere like arrows.

One by one, the massive trees, each as thick as a person's embrace, were uprooted, swept into the sky, and then easily shattered by the terrifying turbulent flow of Spiritual Qi!

Several dozen breaths later, a messy clearing, resembling a bald, scraggly head, appeared in the mountains and forests.

Smoke and dust filled the air, leaving behind a scene of devastation, with a deep crater in the ground.

At the edge of the deep pit, a broken bell, devoid of its former glory, lay half-inserted into the soil like a piece of trash, its crack a deep red, as if melted by intense heat, emitting smoldering smoke.

A violent coughing sound came from inside the bell, which was suddenly pushed aside. A figure with only half a body crawled out of the ground, emanating a faint spiritual aura.

The man was covered in dust and grimaced in pain. He looked around but couldn't see the bodies of his two companions or his own remaining lower body. He let out an uncontrollable scream.

What kind of monster was that we just encountered? It just self-destructed without warning.

If it weren't for the incredible defensive power of his ancient bell, he would probably be dead by now.

Even so, he now only has half of his upper body left. He won't die, but it will take a lot of precious resources to restore the other half of his body.

"The Martial Immortal Clone has been lying low and cultivating for several years, only to be disrupted by a few traitors just as he reached the vicinity of the Southern Entrance."

The Outer Realm Devil Venerable's influence and dominance over the Mingyun Mountain Range are clearly stronger than before. Taking this place will be difficult.

Within the Dao Domain under the jurisdiction of the Longevity Sect, in a town within a small mortal country, Chen Dengming, dressed in a blue robe, walked out of his room, put his hands behind his back, and went to the courtyard. He looked into the distance and shook his head helplessly.

Since the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance's army six years ago, which marched aggressively towards the Mingyun Mountain Range only to suffer a crushing defeat, the two sides have been locked in a stalemate in the Mingyun Mountain Range for more than six years.

However, the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance has taken away a considerable amount of territory in the Ten Thousand Mile Frontier and even other areas beyond the border.

However, the Mingyun Mountain Range are, after all, a strategically vital area where the Southern and Northern Region meet.

Not only will the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance not give up, but the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator will also refuse to abandon their cause.

Chen Dengming's Martial Immortal Clone had been lying low for a long time, deep in the Mingyun Mountain Range, and rarely moved, so it was not discovered.

Over the years, other cultivators who attempted to infiltrate the depths of the Mingyun Mountain Range have all failed.

This is because the influence of the Outer Realm Devil Venerable's Incense and Faith is extremely strong in the Mingyun Mountain Range.

Any cultivator who intrudes will cause the domain to vibrate and repel, thus being discovered.

Chen Dengming's Martial Immortal Clone was quickly discovered shortly after leaving its hiding place and was besieged by Golden Core Cultivator from the Western Region Heavenly Devil Sect and the Northern Region Five Elements Sword Sect.

However, it was, after all, a Dao power clone condensed by him, a Nascent Soul True Lord. Not to mention, it possessed the cultivation of the Golden Core Late Stage, and its Human Immortal Way Power was something that ordinary Golden Core Cultivator could not match.

Three Golden Core cultivators joined forces to attack his clone, and now they are likely to meet a tragic end.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen, my grandfather's illness has flared up again, please come and help him take a look."

Just then, a series of anxious knocks and a boy's childish voice came from outside the courtyard.

Chen Dengming had already noticed. He took out a wooden medical box from his Storage Bag, slung it over his shoulder, walked to the door, Open Door, and said calmly with a smile, "It's Little Stone. No rush, Uncle Chen will go with you to take a look."

At the doorway, a chubby-faced boy who was knocking on the door almost hit Chen Dengming, Open Door.

Seeing that Chen Dengming had already packed his medicine box, the anxious look on his face turned into surprise and gratitude. "Uncle Chen, you immediately picked up your medicine box and came out as soon as you heard my voice?"

Almost before Chen Dengming could respond, the boy's expression turned anxious again. "Uncle Chen, my grandfather might really be dying. Please go and see him quickly."

"Okay, Little Stone, let's go!"

Chen Dengming smiled and waved his hand.

Some passersby, upon seeing him, stopped and respectfully bowed, addressing him as "Divine Doctor Chen."

For more than six years, he used the alias Chen Qingniu to practice medicine in various places, traveling to several mortal kingdoms and visiting many famous rivers and mountains, as well as remote corners of the world.

During that time, he saved lives and healed the wounded, doing only what was right for him as a mortal doctor, never seeking to show off or cause trouble, living a simple and ordinary life.

Over the years, he has witnessed the suffering of ordinary people tormented by illness, the farewells of those afflicted by disease, and the gratitude of many families as well as the ingratitude of a few petty people.

From then on, the Battlefield of cultivators lost Battle Longevity Lord Chen Baimao who gave his enemies nightmares, but the mortal world gained Chen Qingniu, a renowned physician who saved lives.

However, even if one were to live as an ordinary person, becoming famous would still bring considerable trouble.

Chen Dengming could only travel around, rarely staying in one place for more than six months.

Before long, Chen Dengming followed the boy Shi Changqing to a secluded part of the town, where they arrived at a dilapidated old house area.

The ordinary people living here all looked pale and were plagued by poverty.

But upon seeing Chen Dengming, everyone showed a friendly and simple smile, and some even wished Shi Changqing's grandfather could pull through.

Chen Dengming likes the atmosphere here.

Despite the poverty here, where sometimes even a bowl of rice a day is not enough, the neighbors do not scheme against each other and often help one another.

No bullies would come here to oppress the poor, and no such vulgar incidents would occur.

Because this place is so poor, so poor that it's not even worth being targeted and oppressed.

Such situations are rare in the Cultivation World.

Most cultivators are realistic and indifferent. They would be considered good if they didn't scheme against or harm their neighbors, let alone help each other.

Chen Dengming also experienced many sincere hearts as a result.

He came here six months ago and treated some people, which is why these poor people have always remembered and respected him.

Soon, he entered a dilapidated courtyard.

The houses here are very simple, and the walls are mottled and yellowed.

The wooden roof beams were badly damaged by termites, and the holes in the roof could not be plugged.

In the very center of the room, there was a kang (a heated brick bed), and an old man lay on it, his face pale and his breathing shallow and labored, clearly awaiting the passing of his life.

"His lifespan has come to an end."

Chen Dengming sighed inwardly; he had already anticipated this outcome before he came.

With his methods, if combined with some life-extending drugs, he could naturally keep the old man alive for another year or two.

But as a mortal healer, he has never used Immortal Method or Spiritual Material to save people over the years. That would not only disrupt the natural order of birth, aging, sickness, and death in the mortal world, but also undermine the original intention of cultivating one's mind in the mortal world.

Even so, his skills were so superb that they were beyond those of ordinary doctors, which earned him the title of "Divine Doctor Chen Qingniu".

At this moment, faced with Shi Changqing's pleas and urging, Chen Dengming sighed, walked over, put down his medicine box, pulled out the golden needles, and said, "Little Shi, your grandfather is dying. Half a year ago, I extended his life once. Now, Uncle Chen can only keep him alive for a moment. Tonight, his last breath will be gone."

If you have anything you want to say to your grandfather, say it then.

Upon hearing these words, Shi Changqing, who had lived with his grandfather since childhood, could no longer contain himself.

Although she was sensible and resilient from a young age and did not burst into tears, she could not help but rush to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), grab the old man's hand, and sob softly, her body trembling.

Chen Dengming sighed inwardly, but his hands moved swiftly as he applied the acupuncture needles to the old man.

If this acupuncture is not administered, the old man will not even have the chance to open his eyes and say his last words to his grandson, and he will soon pass away.

At this moment, as the golden needles transformed into a series of golden shadows and fell, the old man's breathing gradually became even, and his pale face miraculously regained some color.

He opened his eyes with a slight tremor, his gaze first falling on Chen Dengming, and he spoke in a hoarse voice of gratitude.

Then, looking at Shi Changqing who had immediately come over, she said weakly.

"Changqing, I've been a burden to you all these years. After I'm gone, go to Evergreen Gate. If you can't go to Evergreen Gate, you can try your luck in Chang'an Workshop."

"Your father was a cultivator of the Evergreen Gate, so you must also have the aptitude for cultivation."

Chen Dengming, witnessing this scene, also found it difficult to remain calm. He glanced at Shi Changqing, who was crying and nodding in agreement, and fell silent for a moment.

The path to immortality is difficult, the path to immortality is difficult. If a mortal has no Spirit Root, cultivating immortality is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

He had already examined Shi Changqing's bones and concluded that the boy only had inferior Spirit Root.

Even if the Evergreen Gate accepts this Spirit Root out of respect for his deceased father's past as a disciple of the Evergreen Gate, it will be difficult for him to achieve anything in the future. Instead, he will face numerous dangers due to this chaotic world.

In fact, according to the rules of the Evergreen Gate, those with inferior Spirit Root would not be given special treatment just because of their father.

Because his father was at most an ordinary disciple with a low-grade Spirit Root, he did not have such great merit and ability that the Evergreen Gate could promote him out of turn.

This little stone, rather than Venerable Immortal, would rather be ordinary and be a happy mortal.

However, the old stone's hopes and aspirations make it difficult for the little stone to choose mediocrity, and it is highly likely that it will embark on a journey to seek immortality.

In the past, Xiao Shitou had to take care of a seriously ill elderly person, and because he was too young, it was not safe for him to travel far, so he never went out.

Now that the old man has passed away, what can stop this little stone's ambition to become an immortal?

Chen Dengming had done what a doctor should do, and he did not want to say anything more or interfere.

Everyone has their own destiny, and everyone has their own ambitions.

He is now Chen Qingniu who saves lives, but no longer the Divine Ability- powerful Sect Leader Chen!

Chen Dengming took a deep look at the grandfather and grandson, and was about to pack his things and leave quietly when the old man called him back.

"Changqing, for the past six months, you have been completely thanks to Doctor Chen's treatment. Please give this to Doctor Chen as payment for his services."

The old man handed over something.

Chen Dengming wanted to refuse, but then he met the old man's bright and penetrating gaze in the final moments of his life.

I couldn't bring myself to say no.

He accepted the consultation fee and then realized that the dark stone the old man had given him actually had Spiritual Qi fluctuation.

This might be a relic left by Little Stone's father, or perhaps an unpolished Low-grade Spirit Crystal dug out from some Spirit Vein.

The fact that Little Stone looked at the object with such reluctance yet still resolutely handed it over showed that he knew it was extraordinary.

This grandfather and grandson are people who know how to be grateful.

Knowing the item was valuable, he was still willing to give it as payment; even if he only had one pig, he was willing to share half of its meat with him.

"A person may be poor, but their spirit may be high; it's a pity about Little Stone's talent."

Feeling touched, Chen Dengming thought for a moment, then reached out and patted Little Stone's head with satisfaction.

"Little Stone, I hope you can truly become an immortal someday."

He is about to conclude his six-year journey of self-cultivation in the mortal world.

Let's make an exception this time before we part ways.

This little stone was the child of a former disciple of the Evergreen Gate, which was quite a connection for him, the sect leader of the Longevity Sect.

Those who are destined and have a willing heart can receive a 'Immortal Destiny' even if they are dull-witted or just ordinary people.

Chen Dengming quietly left a seed of spiritual insight for Little Stone, and then left discreetly.

This seed of spiritual awareness was enough to protect Little Stone from two life-threatening situations.

If, after experiencing life-or-death situations twice, the other person is still willing to fight to the death on the Immortal Path, then that is their fate. Things don't happen more than three times; from now on, they must take responsibility for their own life.
