Source of the panel? Flying to a place close to the shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The hand-kneading system is naturally not difficult for Nascent Soul True Lord like Chen Dengming.

Of course, this is not a real-world counterpart to his life-extending panel.

It was merely a mental trap he had constructed, a smokescreen using methods such as psychological suggestion and mental hallucination.

This kind of deception is only effective against cultivators with low cultivation levels like Bai Shou Hong.

Even Golden Core Cultivator would have a certain chance of noticing something amiss.

But it's enough for now. Bai Shou Hong doesn't need to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm; he may have already awakened his soul and spirit before reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.

At that time, this panel system, which he shaped by hand, will become useless and can be eliminated.

For the next month, Chen Dengming stayed at the Prince's Mansion to observe Bai Shou Hong's condition.

Su Yan Yan then began to hold the Emperor of Dali accountable for his crimes.

There's no need for her to do this herself; it would be too beneath her.

After the order was issued, Longevity Sect immediately dispatched an inspection team and an enforcement team to thoroughly rectify the court and the interior of the Great Ceremony Dynasty.

A month later, after Bai Shou Hong cultivated day and night to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Level, the Dali royal family had been completely purged, the Dali emperor had abdicated and passed the throne to a worthy successor, Prince Zhong Yong.

The Great Ceremony Dynasty underwent a complete upheaval in just one month. The so-called imperial power was a joke in the Cultivation World, yet it could be overthrown overnight.

The Dali royal family was once considered Cultivation Family. The Dali emperors were all at the Foundation Establishment Realm stage, while the retired emperor was at the Golden Core stage.

The power of the royal family, which could be granted by the Longevity Sect, was bestowed upon them.

Those who do not follow the rules of the Longevity Sect will naturally be punished, or even easily banned.

However, considering the development of his Second Senior Brother Bai Shou Hong, Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan did not truly allow Dali to step down and instead allowed many Cultivation Family to compete for the royal family qualification again.

For the time being, let Prince Zhong Yong ascend the throne to stabilize the court, allow the people to live in peace and prosperity, and ensure the normal development of the dynasty.

"Junior Brother, your method of training is novel and unique. I think it could be used on some disciples, and perhaps it will motivate them."

Outside the Prince Zhong Yong's Mansion's Mansion, Su Yan Yan returned afterward and observed that Bai Shou Hong had reached the Qi Cultivation Fourth Level. She was surprised and asked.

She had assumed that Bai Shou Hong was unlikely to break through to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Level within a month and would inevitably be punished by Chen Dengming and taken to the Below the Yin Spring.

After being frightened and returning, one will realize the importance of diligent practice.

Unexpectedly, Bai Shou Hong actually managed to do it. This kind of cultivation speed is not bad even among the High-grade Spiritual Root in the sect.

In response to Su Yan Yan's suggestion, Chen Dengming shook his head and laughed, "Senior sister, don't even think about it. This kind of training method cannot be implemented on a large scale."

You might think this kind of trickery is easy, but in reality, you have to keep your eyes peeled and constantly watching your Second Senior Brother's cultivation.

Every time he cultivates a little, it needs to be recorded and his cultivation proficiency increased so that he can see his own improvement.

This is like a reward system. As long as you cultivate, you can see improvement, and there are also extra lifespan rewards, so of course he will cultivate diligently.

But if I don't pay close attention, and he practices but his proficiency doesn't change, or the change is off, then it doesn't seem real, and he'll naturally become suspicious and find it hard to continue."

"So troublesome?"

Su Yan Yan was surprised, then nodded slightly, "That's true. After all, you are a successor of the human immortal's spiritual lineage, so you can multitask without being affected. It would be quite troublesome for me to cast this illusion spell, let alone popularize it."

Chen Dengming nodded and said, "The temporary illusion will make him change his laziness. Once he forms a habit of diligent cultivation, he will not waste his precious youth and will slowly awaken his Second Senior Brother's soul."

With the support of his Second Senior Brother's Nascent Soul True Lord will, even without a reward system, he would diligently cultivate on his own.

Su Yan Yan nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Second Senior Brother Jiang Jian, after all, was a Nascent Soul True Lord had cultivated for over a thousand years. His will was firm, and diligent cultivation was as natural as breathing in his daily life. He didn't need any external reward mechanism to stimulate him at all.

"Senior sister, I'll leave this place to you for a while. Actually, you can leave at any time if you have other matters to attend to. I've already left my watchful eye on Second Senior Brother."

Chen Dengming withdrew his gaze from the Prince's Mansion below and looked at Su Yan Yan.

Su Yan Yan's bright eyes flashed, and she smiled slightly, "Go ahead, you should also hurry up and cultivate. We don't have much time left."

"Um."

Chen Dengming understood what Su Yan Yan meant, nodded solemnly, and then a spirit boat the size of a date pit flew out from his sleeve.

The spirit boat, shimmering with spiritual light, swelled rapidly in the wind, growing larger quickly. Chen Dengming leaped aboard and sped away into the distance.

The Second Senior Brother's system, created by his own hand, was merely a smokescreen.

Where did his longevity panel come from, or is it just a smokescreen?

He had thought about this problem many times before.

Looking back now, the answer remains the same as it was at the beginning: wherever it comes from, as long as it benefits him, it is out of good intentions, and the truth will be revealed in the future.

Just like the system he created for his Second Senior Brother, it was out of good intentions, not any malice.

That being said, if someone truly harbored malicious intent and was capable of such a feat, and could deceive themselves so completely, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths to do as they pleased.

The spirit boat sailed away, leaving a long trail in the sky. Soon ahead, the Thirteen Peaks of Longevity, shrouded in mist and Immortal Qi, came into view.

With his Second Senior Brother's matter settled, he will now begin a long period of seclusion to focus on cultivation and prepare for breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

"I have at least forty years, and at most fifty years, to dedicate to my spiritual practice."

Once you break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, you can catch up with the time point mentioned by the First Ancestor and enter the Heavenly Longevity Hall to cultivate using the Heavenly Timing.

From this perspective, perhaps the madness of Heaven's Will has somewhat subsided.

A thought struck him, and he took out the Longevity Jade Seal from his Storage Bag.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the frenzied red aura covering the jade seal had faded somewhat, but it was still present.

"If another forty or fifty years pass, will Heavenly Dao be able to wake up from its madness?"

Chen Dengming frowned, recalling the advice his senior Senior Brother and sisters had given him: the Longevity Jade Seal could pinpoint the location of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

He immediately pressed his fingers together on his brow, and a wisp of Divine Sense, along with the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, condensed at his fingertips and touched the Longevity Jade Seal.

In an instant, it seemed as if a connection was established between the Unseen mind and the Longevity Jade Seal, drawing out a thread composed of Divine Sense and Immortal Celestial Dao Power.

"Whoosh!"

The Longevity Jade Seal flew into the sky.

Chen Dengming immediately made a hand seal, turned the spirit boat at a ninety-degree angle, and headed straight for the Sky Dome.

The spirit boat sped up and soon reached the Spiritual Qi Wind Layer, where the wind howled and the heavens and earth rippled.

Strong gusts of spiritual wind swirled and swept across the spirit boat's shield, emitting piercing howls and shrieks, causing the shield to ripple wildly.

Soon, the Spiritual Qi Wind Layer was broken through, and the roaring wind was replaced by rolling thunder.

The once bright surrounding sky suddenly darkened completely, like paper that had dried up, turning into a closed, suffocating dome.

Spirit Thunder Layer.

Chen Dengming slowed the ascent of the spirit boat, his expression solemn as he looked up at the sky, where he saw many winding, stone-green clouds.

Slender, beautiful streaks of golden-blue electricity flashed wildly within the dense, swirling clouds.

A few glimmers of starlight shone behind the floating clouds, like eyes that flickered on and off.

Further away, the sun shone brightly through a Red Cloud, like a flowing sphere encased in molten lava.

At this point, the Longevity Jade Seal had begun to rise again.

Chen Dengming made a hand seal to urge the spirit boat to rise. The oxygen and Spiritual Qi in the air were rapidly thinning, and the temperature began to drop.

Suddenly, several huge bolts of lightning streaked across the clouds again, their twisting streaks of electricity flashing like blue-purple flames within the clouds, followed by a series of thunderous explosions.

The spirit boat's shield instantly burst forth with several intense but brief bolts of lightning, swaying precariously. The areas struck radiated outwards in concentric circles of pulse-wave-like light, indicating its imminent collapse.

Chen Dengming frowned, then suddenly flicked his sleeve, and the spirit boat quickly shrank to the size of a date pit and flew into his sleeve.

With a loud bang--

Several more bolts of lightning, like fiery red serpents, shot towards them at lightning speed.

"Heavenly Thunder, heed my command!"

A deep blue light appeared in Chen Dengming's eyes, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

A vast aura, as mighty as the heavens, emanated from him, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently.

His entire body was enveloped in azure light, and his white hair at the Heavenly Dao. Wisps of Heavenly Fortune Qi also appeared and disappeared under the blessing of the Longevity Jade Seal.

Heavenly Immortal Dao Domain!

Several bolts of lightning trembled, tracing winding arcs as they darted away from Chen Dengming's sides.

Chen Dengming remained calm, following the guidance of the Longevity Jade Seal, and flew through the air, continuing to ascend into the sky.

Another streak of Thunder Fire shot in swiftly, illuminating the dark sky, before quickly passing by him.

Venturing so deep into the Spirit Thunder Layer is an extremely reckless and dangerous act, even for Nascent Soul True Lord.

In the past, Chen Dengming had mostly just passed by the lower edge of the Spirit Thunder Layer, never venturing deep inside.

But now that I've truly ventured deep inside, I've come to feel the terrifying threat of lightning within the Spirit Thunder Layer.

If even a successor of the Immortal Celestial Lineage is like this, one can only imagine how ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator are.

In the end, more and more lightning bolts shot out from the gaps in the clouds, and the Heavenly Immortal Dao Domain was like a stable boy trying to control a herd of celestial horses, unable to keep them in check.

Chen Dengming had no choice but to use a hand seal to summon the Divine Transformation Stone, which transformed into a shimmering protective shield to shield himself.

They continued ascending deeper and deeper, for an unknown period of time, until Chen Dengming felt that both his Nascent Soul Power and Immortal Celestial Dao Power had been depleted by more than half. Only then did the surrounding darkness gradually fade and the dense clouds gradually thin out.

As the rays of sunlight shone down once more, everything around seemed to become ethereal.

The azure sky was infinitely deep, with only a few feather-like clouds drifting motionlessly in the distance, creating an ethereal and pristine scene.

Chen Dengming sensed that the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding air was extremely scarce, leaving him with almost no source of energy to absorb and recover from.

This can induce a sense of panic, like a fish suddenly jumping out of the water onto the shore, or a person entering the water from the shore, unable to feel the presence of oxygen, experiencing a sense of suffocation and intense danger.

In fact, at this moment, warning signs were constantly being sent through his mind.

But Chen Dengming's Spiritual Realm was strong enough that he could control his fear and remain calm.

"I still have half of my Nascent Soul Power and Immortal Celestial Dao Power left, which is enough to support my return."

Chen Dengming looked at the Longevity Jade Seal floating beside him, and the sense of guidance and calling compelled him to continue flying.

Whoosh--

In this vast, ethereal sky where even air resistance seemed nonexistent, he flew at an extremely high speed.

Fifteen minutes later, darkness fell again, and the Spiritual Qi energy had become extremely thin.

Only the distant sun still shone brightly, while the moon hung on the other side like a cold, heavy iron plate.

Upon arriving here, Chen Dengming was basically certain that they had reached a space-like region similar to the world of his previous life.

But this Cultivation World was clearly different; it seemed to have something else in common with him. It felt rather strange, with a sense of suffocation, as if this vast space was tightly sealed off by something.

It felt like being stuffed inside a bottle.

This peculiar feeling could probably only be perceived by someone with his keen sensitivity to the Celestial Person.

Moreover, even within this extremely vast and boundless space, he could feel a chill seeping in through the protective barrier formed by the Divine Transformation Stone.

Strange and peculiar waves of faint energy, difficult even to detect with Divine Sense, spread from an unknown distance. They were only felt when they landed on the body, causing the Divine Transformation Stone to vibrate and emit a mournful cry.

"What kind of power is this? Could it be an extraterrestrial force that only those at the Spirit Transformation can access?"

Chen Dengming's expression changed slightly. He could feel this special power even passing through the Divine Transformation Stone and shooting directly onto his body, causing his skin to feel numb and itchy.

He continued to carefully follow the guidance of the Longevity Jade Seal as it ascended into the air.

But after a short while, his expression changed drastically, and the Heavenly Immortal Dao Domain keenly sensed an extremely strong threat.

A dazzling beam of light, accompanied by a blinding surge of special power, suddenly attacked from a direction overhead.

It happened without warning, arriving in the blink of an eye, carrying with it a huge fireball the size of a meteorite and countless tiny dust and fragments.

Chen Dengming immediately dodged.

However, it was still inevitable that it would be hit by some dust and gravel, as well as that special force.

The Divine Transformation Stone outside the body suddenly roared and trembled, its surface riddled with dents.

A large wave of that strange power penetrated the protective barrier of the Divine Transformation Stone and struck his body directly.

Chen Dengming was struck dumb, his skin cracked open, blood spurted out, and some of his hair fell out.

His face was grim. He quickly flew away and looked down. The large piece of flying fire meteorite, which was wrapped in that strange power, was falling rapidly. As it fell, it disintegrated and landed in the Spirit Thunder Layer far below, causing a violent and intense spiritual lightning strike.

Presumably, after being struck by spiritual lightning and swept by fierce winds, it was reduced to dust and rubble.

Chen Dengming was suddenly startled. He could sense a trace of Immortal Spiritual Energy from the strange power still emanating from his body.

This Immortal Spiritual Energy was extremely weak; if he hadn't absorbed a lot of it before, he wouldn't have been able to distinguish what kind of power it was.

Could it be...?

Chen Dengming suddenly looked up.

To the naked eye, it still appears as a vast expanse of white and azure blue, like a clean velvet cloth with a deep blue backdrop, resembling an endless expanse of crystal glass.

He suddenly closed his eyes, entering a state of communion with the Celestial Person, to sense the distant void above his head.

That is also the location guided by the Longevity Jade Seal.

In the next instant, he vaguely sensed the existence of something like a barrier, and faintly felt the presence of another space.

This feeling was as if he had once stood at the entrance to the Cultivation World from Nanxun, and sensed the existence of the Cultivation World.

Or perhaps, standing at the entrance to the Southern Seek realm in the Cultivation World, one senses the presence of the entrance's light membrane and the Southern Seek itself.

However, this sense of separation gave him a unique feeling of unevenness and ruggedness, as if it were an invisible barrier with varying heights and depths.

"Could this be the shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm?"

The thought had barely formed in his mind when he suddenly sensed something amiss with the distant barrier, which seemed to be moving strangely, accompanied by a mysterious, subtle sound and the burst of that strange power.

Boom--

Without warning, a burst of intense light, accompanied by a strange wave of power and Immortal Spiritual Energy, spread out, and a large, 'invisible' meteorite crashed down. It gradually became visible, enveloped in a sea of fire, and swiftly swept past Chen Dengming in the distance before descending.

Chen Dengming looked grave, as if he had finally understood.

If that invisible yet perceptible space in the distance above is the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Therefore, the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm might be constantly breaking down and disintegrating.

The falling meteorite was actually part of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

This gave him a strange sense of sorrow, as if he were seeing a huge, rotting corpse.

He never expected that after searching so hard, he would find such a tragic scene.

He suddenly thought of a question: if he cultivated the Heavenly Immortal Way and reached the end, facing a Heavenly Dao that was likely to go mad, and Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm on the verge of collapse, how could he possibly move forward?

Forty or fifty years later, after entering the shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, even if he drove away the invading Outer Domain Evil Cultivator, what could he possibly do for the collapsing Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm?

Even the Immortal Celestial Lineage is like this.

The Human Immortal Way is not much better than the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm in the mortal Human World.

The Five Great True Immortals lineages have all long been shattered; where then can a new path be found?

Why does the Four Seas Four Regions now feel to him like a decaying cage, and the people inside are decaying along with the cage...?
