Human Heart Hall, the flames of the heart flickered.

After Chen Dengming's mental energy was withdrawn from Zhu Xun's mind, he felt a significant loss of Mental Strength and Human Immortal Way Power, and a sense of Mental Strength.

"It's really tiring to fight for Old Zhu. I've lost at least 60% of my Mental Strength energy and about 40% of my Human Immortal Way Power. If I went down myself, it wouldn't be so troublesome."

Chen Dengming shook his head inwardly.

Ultimately, it's not their own territory; even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

With Undercurrent Old Ghost's strength at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, he wouldn't need to go to so much trouble if he encountered his true form.

However, this power of telepathy does have its strengths; at the very least, it can help those around you save their lives in times of crisis.

However, the prerequisite is that he can sense the danger the other party is in beforehand. Whether it is through the Human Heart Hall.

"Some of the power of the Human Heart Hall is gradually being unlocked for me. Once I reach the Spirit Transformation, I will be able to unleash the full power of this Dao artifact."

Chen Dengming recalled how he had used the Human Immortal Hall in his Sea of Consciousness to suppress the mind of the Northern Yin Holy Mother that had invaded his heart.

That time, it was merely the spontaneous force of the Human Heart Hall, without his intervention.

If he can activate the artifact of the Human Heart Hall, his combat power will be greatly enhanced.

He may seem to possess numerous Law Treasure now, making him powerful and advantageous in the Nascent Soul Realm, but these Law Treasure appear ordinary and offer no advantage when placed before Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord.

"Even those who have reached the Spirit Transformation possess Dao power, but without merging with the Dao and condensing a Dao body, they cannot achieve Spirit Transformation status. Therefore, if my Law Treasure is of inferior quality, I will be unable to maintain my combat advantage and will become just another ordinary person."

Chen Dengming also had a clear idea in mind: he was not satisfied with the current situation and needed to continue to work hard.

At least he was lucky; he already had the Human Heart Hall.

However, at this moment, he thought of the Human God Hall, which was almost Dongfang Huayuan.

"Senior Dongfang's injuries should have healed by now, but we haven't heard from him since. Let's contact him and ask if he knows what agreements have been reached between the Nascent Spirit Transformation both inside and outside the Inner Domain."

Chen Dengming focused his mind and tried to contact Dongfang Huayuan, calling out to him in his heart.

Not long after.

The Silver Light formed by the Human Immortal Way Power intertwined in the Sea of Consciousness, revealing the illusory outline of the Human God Hall.

Dongfang Huayuan's imposing and domineering figure appeared inside the hall.

"Young Chen, I owe you another favor this time. I want to thank you for helping me contact the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance to send supplies to restore my soul."

What do you need me for? Just say the word.

Chen Dengming was already used to Dongfang Huayuan's straightforward manner, and smiled through telepathy.

"Senior Dongfang, I'm not the kind of person who only comes to your door when I need something. It's nothing, I just wanted to check on your injuries and see if you need any other supplies."

"You've got a sharp tongue, you know. Even with my bad temper, you always manage to make me happy."

Dongfang Huayuan, annoyed, laughed heartily, "My injuries have fully healed. I thought there would be more battles after I came out of seclusion, but I didn't expect that a ceasefire, reparations, and repatriation agreement have already been signed."

"Oh? A ceasefire, reparations, and repatriation agreement?" Chen Dengming's heart skipped a beat.

Dongfang Huayuan said meaningfully, "You've come to me this time, I'm afraid it's to ask this question, right?"

Chen Dengming smiled upon hearing this, making no attempt to hide his curiosity, "I am indeed somewhat curious; I haven't heard a single word about it yet."

Dongfang Huayuan intimidated and said, "This agreement was also negotiated by your First Ancestor and Mingguang Shangren with the Three Sages and the old Daoists."

The main concern is that the Four Regions are, after all, our territory, and many of our disciples and followers need to survive on this land. Therefore, if we continue fighting, we are hesitant to act rashly.

"If Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord is forced into a desperate situation, it will be a disaster for the Four Domains and even the Four Seas."

Chen Dengming wholeheartedly agreed with this.

The devastation caused by the battle between a group of Nascent Soul cultivators once affected an area of nearly a thousand miles, harming countless people.

When Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord clash, even within the Spirit Thunder Layer, the resulting severe weather and Spiritual Qi disturbances often lead to natural disasters and calamities in many regions.

If it weren't within the Spirit Thunder Layer, the extinction of all living beings within thousands of miles would be commonplace, so it's normal for our own Nascent Spirit Transformation to be wary of a fight to the death.

Dongfang Huayuan added, "Although a ceasefire has been reached, they have been forced to pay corresponding war reparations and have been deported."

In a few years, the Immortal Sect your Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm will open.

At that time, they will be banished into the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm. Whether they can leave the Four Domains and Four Seas through the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm will depend on their own abilities.

"Were they all expelled from the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm? But I've heard that it's difficult for Non-Self- Dao Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord to enter the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, or that entering it requires paying a heavy price."

Chen Dengming was surprised.

He knew that the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm would open in a few years, and he even guessed the approximate time.

However, he also knew that to enter the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, one needed to possess certain blessed items related to celestial beings.

With so many people going in together, it's impossible for everyone to receive a blessed item.

However, since this matter was initiated and facilitated by the First Ancestor, and given the Three Heavenly Palaces under his control, perhaps there was some way to resolve it that would have led these people to agree.

Dongfang Huayuan chuckled and said, "You're right. The Three Saints Daoist and the Mochao Kingdom Lord, these Nascent Spirit Transformation, do indeed need to pay a great price to get in, and they might even be tricked by your First Ancestor."

However, if they don't go in, they will face war, even if it means mutual destruction.

Ultimately, they will be wiped out, while our side, even if it dies, will only be a group of weaklings.

How many of the strongest among them will be dragged down with them?

At this point, Dongfang Huayuan seemed to realize something, and said with a murderous aura, "I would really like to see them object, but unfortunately they're not fools, and they're also very afraid of dying."

Chen Dengming was speechless for a moment, realizing that Dongfang Huayuan and extreme personality had resurfaced.

The other party's nickname of "Sha Star" wasn't given lightly; they value strength above all else and believe in the survival of the fittest.

The weak will die without the enemy even blinking, but as for the strong...

Can a dead strong person still be considered strong? Isn't it precisely because they weren't strong that they died? Then they deserve to die!

However, Chen Dengming also understood from this.

This gives the Spirit Transformation two choices: either fight to the death, or knowingly suffer losses and still enter the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, be expelled, and seek a way out.

"The Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm... could it be a gateway to the Cultivation World beyond this realm?"

Chen Dengming voiced his doubts.

Dongfang Huayuan, "Back then, when the Five Great True Immortals were shattered, it was rumored that they had some connection with the outer realms."

"The Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm does indeed have a path to the outer realms, but whether these people can safely reach the outer realms depends entirely on how resilient their lives are."

As Chen Dengming was pondering the dangers within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm...

Dongfang Huayuan's tone was intriguing, "Even if your ancestor swore a poisonous oath to the Heavenly Dao to appease and gain their trust by leading them in, he would never take action within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm."

But given the cunning nature of your ancestor, I have my doubts.

Chen Dengming was taken aback, and immediately a lot of things came to mind.

When the First Ancestor communicated with him, his tone subtly implied a sense of entrusting his son to him in a time of crisis. Could it be that the First Ancestor had already made some plan or decision at that time?

A bad feeling crept into his heart.

At this moment, Dongfang Huayuan yawned, "Alright, I've revealed enough information to you. If you have any further questions, you can ask your ancestor later."

Chen Dengming immediately expressed his gratitude, and sensed the outline of the Human God Hall disappearing from his Sea of Consciousness along with the figure of Dongfang Huayuan.

From Dongfang Huayuan, he was basically certain that for at least the next sixty or seventy years, there would be no more wars, and he could cultivate in peace for a long time.

But this peaceful time might have been bought with some kind of future sacrifice by the First Ancestor.

Chen Dengming tried to contact the First Ancestor through his inner fire, but received no response.

If the mind of Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord is tightly closed, it will be very difficult for him to transmit his thoughts even if he wants to.

If you actually manage to infiltrate, you might end up being destroyed by the other party as if they were your inner demon.

At this point, Chen Dengming felt Mental Strength exhausted and desperately needed to recover.

Considering that Below the Yin Spring, there is still the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord waiting for him to fulfill his promises of various benefits.

Chen Dengming was quite worried.

He immediately sent a mental message to Zhu Xun, instructing him to personally escort the Ghost Bride out of the Yin Spring and deliver the Soul Mussel Pearl after her injuries had healed.

"I also need to think of a way to deal with the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord, otherwise that old ghost will definitely cause trouble once he finds out that the war has ended."

Chen Dengming slowly withdrew his thoughts and left the Human Heart Hall.

In no time, Chen Dengming's body outline rapidly materialized within the cave abode.

A jade Sound Transmission Jade Talisman suddenly flew to his front, its wings flapping slowly, shimmering with spiritual light, and incredibly lifelike.

"Senior sister."

Chen Dengming's eyes flashed; this crane-shaped Sound Transmission Jade Talisman was the one He Yingyu used exclusively for one-on-one communication with him.

He immediately mustered his strength and sent a wisp of his Divine Sense into the jade talisman to check the message.

After a short while, Chen Dengming breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl wasn't in any danger; she was just inquiring about the situation in the Four Domains. It seems she's received some news and knows things are peaceful now, so she wants to return to the Four Domains to be with him.

Chen Dengming wanted to refuse, but when he thought that He Yingyu was about to break through to the Golden Core Late Stage and might need his help, he softened his heart.

"Fine. This girl, let her come. She's already set off, and now that she's here, am I supposed to send her away?"

Chen Dengming sighed inwardly and shook his head.

The girl had already asked him for help, and even said that she had refined a new Law Artifact to broaden his horizons. He really couldn't refuse; he was Old Deng, not Old Chen.

At this moment, another ordinary Sound Transmission Jade Talisman stirred within the Storage Bag.

"There's been a lot going on today."

Chen Dengming frowned, took out Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, and then took out Heart Mending Pill and Zhuang Shen Dan to restore his mind.

The cold, clear voice emanating from the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman immediately made him sit up straight.

"Junior Brother, it's been a while since we last contacted each other. You said you'd return my Cold Jade Ice Crystal Bed, why haven't you sent it over yet?"

Chen Dengming's expression was solemn. From the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, he could hear a hint of dissatisfaction in Su Yan Yan.

This former charming junior uncle, now a charming senior sister, is probably just jealous that he hasn't contacted her for so long; it's not like he has ulterior motives.

"Well, it seems I'll have to pay her a visit soon. I've been so busy lately that I forgot to ask how Senior Sister Qiao is doing."

Chen Dengming immediately considered and prepared to reply telepathically.

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable excuse.

He was Old Deng, not Old Chen, and knew that once this woman started blaming him, she was already furious.

At this point, if you say something nice to someone from a distance, they may not be able to hear it because they can't see you, and it might even create more problems than it's worth.

The best course of action is to visit them in person later. Once you see them, put on a friendly face, and their anger will dissipate.

Immediately, he stuffed the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman into his Storage Bag, pretending not to have heard it.

He spread his hands.

Place it on your lap.

We need to start recovering as quickly as possible.

Focus your mind and clear your thoughts.

One day later.

Before He Yingyu arrived, Chen Dengming brought the Cold Jade Ice Crystal Bed and the Rhombus Flying Blade, a trophy seized from the Northern Yin Holy Mother, and personally visited Su Yan Yan's cave abode.

The old man's kind words pleased everyone.

Su Yan Yan didn't ask for the Cold Jade Ice Crystal Bed back, saying that she was now in the Nascent Soul Late Stage and the bed was useless to her; what she had said before was just a joke.

Chen Dengming knew, of course, that this was no joke. It was just that his senior sister had seen that he had come in person, which showed his sincerity, and her anger had dissipated.

After much persuasion, Su Yan Yan accepted the Rhombus Flying Blade from the Northern Yin Holy Mother. It was clear that she was even happier after receiving the item.

Chen Dengming immediately informed Su Yan Yan of the information he had learned from Dongfang Huayuan, and also explained his recent plans.

"I didn't expect you to already know this information, or even more than I did. I only learned some of it yesterday, and I called you here to tell you about it."

Su Yan Yan looked surprised, then pondered and said, "Even if Master has made some plans or decisions, they must have been decided long ago, and most likely a lot of them have already been implemented. They won't change them easily, so you don't need to worry about him."

"Well, I certainly know that. I just really don't want the First Ancestor to be in danger."

Chen Dengming tucked his hands into his sleeves and sighed.

"You won't do it if you don't want him to?"

Su Yan Yan glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, feeling extremely annoyed by his old-fashioned appearance, which completely lacked the domineering and powerful aura he displayed on the Battlefield. She then said indifferently.

"Now, apart from the First Ancestor, you are the strongest person in the Longevity Sect. You are also the Sect Master, and your responsibilities are the heaviest."

Starting tomorrow, I will help you with some sect affairs. As usual, you will leave an avatar behind to oversee things, and continue to focus on your cultivation to improve your strength as soon as possible."

Chen Dengming exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" He then tried to politely decline, but was met with a cold and authoritative gaze from Su Yan Yan, leaving him no choice but to accept with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister. But I have something urgent to take care of."

Su Yan Yan raised an eyebrow. "What is it? Could it be that Yingyu is coming?"

Chen Dengming wrinkled with surprise.

What's going on?

How did this pretty senior sister know that He Yingyu was on her way? Could it be that the two of them had some private communication that he didn't know about?

He quickly composed himself, not asking any further questions, and smiled, "Madam is indeed coming. However, it's not because of her. That matter is rather complicated and may require Elder Zuo's approval. I can only give it a try first."

"Oh?" Su Yan Yan frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought. "Is it related to the Yin Spring?"

Chen Dengming sighed inwardly and nodded in agreement.

This charming junior uncle is really too concerned about his affairs; he hadn't even revealed much information before she guessed it all.

Seriously, there are absolutely no secrets anymore.

Su Yan Yan said, "With your current strength, reputation, status, and achievements, if you find it difficult, no one in the sect can handle it. Just go ahead and do it. Don't worry too much."

"Hmm." Chen Dengming nodded; he indeed didn't need to worry about too much now.

It's difficult, but at worst we can just not do it.

He has other ways to try.

Several days later.

Outside the City of All Immortals, located in the heart of the Eastern Region, more than a dozen beams of spiritual light floated in the air.

The leading beam of light, imposing and awe-inspiring, created a somber and oppressive atmosphere, and it was none other than Zuo Qiu Ling.

Many cultivators entering and leaving the City of All Immortals avoided the scene upon seeing it.

They stopped at a distance to observe, discussing amongst themselves, curious about what important person could have Elder Zuo personally greeted them.

Before long, a ray of light drifted in from the south and landed City of All Immortals.

The spirit boat appeared, its flags fluttering in the wind, and a large "longevity" character came into view.

Many people were taken aback when they saw the figure standing solemnly on the deck of the spirit boat. Then, when they saw the pair of bright eyes that were full of awe-inspiring power and the white hair at his temples, they were all shocked.

"It is the Fighting Longevity Lord!"

"Longevity Sect Leader, I didn't expect it to be him. No wonder Elder Zuo personally greeted him, giving him a lot of face."

"Indeed. Nowadays, cultivators of the Longevity Sect have face when they go out, especially the Longevity First Ancestor, who has immense face. Fighting Longevity Lord is a way to gain face."

"If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul True Lord, Elder Zuo might not have personally come forward."

While many cultivators were excitedly discussing, Chen Dengming had already disembarked from the spirit boat and was chatting and laughing with Zuo Qiu Ling with ease.

"Sect Leader Chen, what is it that can't be communicated with me via the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman? Why must you come in person?" Zuo Qiu Ling probed with a smile.

Visiting someone in person is usually no simple matter; it's bound to be troublesome.

Nobody likes trouble, and he's no exception.

But given Chen Dengming's influence, even knowing it would cause trouble, he had no choice but to agree and agree to discuss it.

If it were someone else, he would have used being busy with other matters or going on a trip as an excuse to back out.

Chen Dengming chuckled and took Zuo Qiu Ling's hand, saying, "Elder Zuo, it's been a long time since we last met. Let's put these matters aside for now. I brought some fine tea with me. Let's sit down and enjoy the tea before discussing other matters."
