The Immortal Sect Is About to Open! Time is Tight! The Stranded Five Elements Sword Lord

When Chen Dengming entered the Nascent Soul Late Stage, the Magnetic Light formed by the 36,000 pores on his body connected to form a radiant membrane that enveloped his entire body.

It can even form a special Magnetic Field Domain that interferes with the surrounding feng shui and weather, causing Spiritual Light to flicker and dart around you.

The Magnetic Body Protection became several times stronger due to the surge in Law Power.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul Power in Chen Dengming's body is extremely strong, with nearly two-thirds of all 36,000 acupoints filled. This is much stronger than when he first broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm and his body was completely empty.

"The Heavenly Immortal Art truly allows one to cultivate a more powerful Nascent Soul Power at a higher cultivation level, an advantage that other sects' Nascent Soul Daoist Magic cannot match."

Chen Dengming carefully sensed that after the breakthrough, the amount of his Nascent Soul Power was about twice as strong as before the breakthrough.

He is now five times stronger than when he first broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

This is only the difference in quantity.

Comparing the difference in the purity of the Nascent Soul Power, the power after the breakthrough is twice as strong as before.

In a rudimentary sense, this means that the Nascent Soul Power in the present moment can exert the destructive force that would have been created by the combined Nascent Soul Power in the past.

"Even if it's just a minor advancement, the difference is really huge. Perhaps it's because I cultivate the <Heavenly Immortal Art>, but the difference between other Nascent Soul Cultivator breaking through to a minor realm isn't as large as five times."

"The reason I was able to kill Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators in the past was mainly because I relied on my Dao power and Divine Ability to close the gap. Otherwise, relying solely on Nascent Soul Power would really not be enough."

Chen Dengming was perfectly clear-headed.

He used to be able to kill Nascent Soul Late Stage by relying on his Dao power and various Divine Ability, but it was difficult for him to kill cultivators at the Nascent Soul Perfection.

The only achievement in defeating Nascent Soul Perfection at the peak of their cultivation was defeating and capturing Starfall Old Ghost's Nascent Soul, which was mainly achieved by leveraging the power of the Dao artifact, the Human Heart Hall.

If Starfall Old Ghost hadn't gone to such lengths to use the Shore Flower to enter his mental world, he would still have had a hard time dealing with him.

Chen Dengming steadied himself for a moment, then glanced at the panel again.

"Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator [Chen Dengming]"

Lifespan: 300/922/5085

Spirit Root: Water, Wood (Superior Grade 100/100)

Martial Arts: <Chen Family Martial Arts General Outline> (Immortal Martial Arts 56/100)

Daoist techniques: Longevity Merit (Completed), Heavenly Immortal Art (Later Stage 0/36000).

Daoist lineage: Immortal Celestial Lineage (blessings, longevity, destiny): others omitted.

This breakthrough was not only a breakthrough in realm, but also a breakthrough in the <Heavenly Immortal Art>. His lifespan was extended by another 180 years, completely breaking through the 5,000-year mark.

However, at the same time, he himself has entered the advanced age of three hundred years. After deducting the lifespan he lost due to his past bravery and fighting, he still has more than four thousand one hundred years to live, and is still blessed with longevity.

Chen Dengming could feel that his body and the Nascent Soul within him were still slowly undergoing the transitional changes after the breakthrough, adapting to the stronger power.

He suddenly made a hand seal, and a Storage Bag at his waist opened, from which flew out a Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, entirely dark purple.

Waaaaah--

Instantly, the cave abode became Yin Qi, the temperature plummeted, and a strong ghostly aura emanated from the staff.

"Congratulations! Congratulations to Sect Leader Chen making another great step forward and breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage. This is truly a cause for celebration!"

A chilling laugh emanated from within the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, from which flew the obese Ghost Body of Starfall Old Ghost. Rolling ghostly energy enveloped this massive body, nearly filling the cave abode.

Chen Dengming frowned and snorted coldly, "Just congratulate me properly, but your laughter is awful. Don't laugh like that next time."

Starfall Old Ghost's smile froze, his voice caught in his throat as if he had a choked word, and he immediately stopped laughing and agreed.

Chen Dengming said in a deep voice, "Now that I have broken through, my seclusion will come to an end for the time being. Perhaps it won't be long before I enter the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm. How is your Soul Body Transformation Technique progressing?"

"If your cultivation is inadequate, I will still refine you into Nascent Soul Soul Arrow."

Upon hearing this, Starfall Old Ghost instinctively wanted to force a smile, but he immediately suppressed it and solemnly bowed, saying, "Sect Leader Chen, rest assured, Xingluo's Soul Body transformation technique has already been mastered to perfection. You don't need to refine me into Nascent Soul Soul Arrow; I can transform into Nascent Soul Soul Arrow on my own."

As soon as he finished speaking, his Nascent Soul, along with his ghostly aura, transformed into a jet-black long arrow. As the ghostly aura surged, the arrow's body grew larger, resembling a crossbow, and the arrowhead could freely change into various ferocious shapes.

"Hehehe, Sect Leader Chen, look."

The Starfall Old Ghost, smugly said, "Isn't my Soul Body quite impressive? Whatever kind of arrow you want to shoot, I can conjure it up, as big as you want. Even if the enemy tries to dodge, you don't need to lock onto it; I'll take care of it for you!"

Chen Dengming stared at the Starfall Old Ghost opposite him, who had transformed into something resembling a giant spiked club, and was speechless for a moment.

Survival is hard, so the Ghost Lord resorts to performing arts.

This old ghost's will to survive is truly strong; he's played very wildly, devising all sorts of tricks to survive and avoid being refined into Nascent Soul Soul Arrow.

Once the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow is forged, the opponent will completely lose their intelligence, leaving only resentment and killing intent.

Therefore, once the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow is unleashed, it is a relentless pursuit, a soul-devouring attack, determined to completely take the life and soul of the enemy.

Now that the Starfall Old Ghost has transformed into a soul arrow, it naturally retains its intelligence and is no longer just filled with resentment and killing intent, but it is not a pure Soul Reaping Arrow either.

However, since the other party had been refined into the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, becoming the bow's spirit, and had completely submitted to him in the depths of its heart, once fired, it could still exert the soul-seizing effect of the Soul Reaping Arrow.

Furthermore, because its intelligence has not been extinguished and it possesses the potential to grow, it may still evolve into Spirit Transformation Arrow in the future.

The only thing to be careful about is that you must always be stronger than this old ghost, otherwise you will easily suffer a backlash.

"The Nascent Soul Soul Arrow, including the cultivation of Yin spirits, requires being stronger than them. Once weakened and given the opportunity, one will still be devoured by the vengeful ghosts. Therefore, this is a common principle."

Chen Dengming's eyes flashed, and he stood up, waving his sleeve, saying, "Alright, you've passed. Go back now."

"Alright! Xingluo thanks Sect Leader Chen for his appreciation!"

The Starfall Old Ghost immediately bowed with joy, and the surging ghostly energy, carrying his Nascent Soul, instantly shrank into the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff.

Chen Dengming raised his hand and grabbed the cold, Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, bringing a strong resonance to his soul.

With the Soul Staff in hand, his entire aura seemed to instantly turn cold and sinister, his white hair at his temples filled with an eerie atmosphere, as if he had transformed from a kind and refined Longevity Sect Leader into a generation of soul-devouring demon tyrant.

"Soul Devouring Old Devil"

Chen Dengming's eyes flashed with a strange light. He seemed to be deep in thought, reviewing a plan he had already considered for a moment before putting away his Soul-Reaping Bow Staff and leaving the cave abode.

After leaving the cave abode, they naturally exchanged pleasantries with the many elders and others who had come to offer their congratulations upon hearing the news.

While offering his congratulations, Xing Huiguang looked at Chen Dengming's young and spirited face and felt quite emotional.

It's true that a new generation surpasses the old. Junior Brother Chen is only three hundred years old, yet he is already a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

He originally broke through to the Nascent Soul a few years earlier than Chen Dengming, but he only recently broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

In terms of the favorable Heavenly Timing and resources they enjoyed, they were actually about the same, and he even had more resources back in peacetime.

In terms of cultivation speed, however, he was far inferior to his opponent.

That has to be said, that's talent.

After exchanging pleasantries with the elders, Chen Dengming spent a short while with He Yingyu in the Longevity Hall before being summoned by Su Yan Yan.

"Junior Brother Chen, do you still remember what the First Ancestor said many years ago? If you can break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage Immortal Sect of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, we can enter the Heavenly Longevity Hall together again and cultivate using the Heavenly Timing."

In front of the waterfall at the back mountain, Su Yan Yan's calm voice drowned out the roar of the waterfall and clearly reached Chen Dengming's ears.

Chen Dengming smiled slightly, "Of course I remember. I've been working hard to cultivate all these years, and as a result, I broke through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage five years earlier than planned, all for the moment when the Immortal Sect of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm opens."

At one time, he still harbored some thoughts of cheating and trickery when it came to entering the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm to resist the invasion of Outer Domain Evil Cultivator.

However, now he is willing to take on these responsibilities voluntarily.

This may not only be due to the resources the sect provides for his upbringing, nor simply because he is the Longevity Sect Leader, with a group of disciples and relatives standing behind him who need his protection; more importantly, it is due to the growth and transformation of his character.

He not only wanted to stop the former enemies from spreading and prevent the war from engulfing the four regions and four seas with even greater ferocity, but also wanted to find a way out for the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Chen Dengming paused, then looked at Su Yan Yan in surprise and said, "But Senior Sister, is this all you've told me today? Are we going to enter the Heavenly Longevity Hall soon?"

Su Yan Yan sighed, "Not bad. Although this isn't the most suitable time, after all, you've only just broken through."

Even if one continues to cultivate in seclusion, it may be difficult to regain the passion for cultivation. Instead, mental obstacles may arise over time, leading to a bottleneck in one's progress.

But now time is of the essence. According to the First Ancestor's prediction, the Immortal Sect will open in at most three months!

"Three months?"

Chen Dengming's heart skipped a beat, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. "Three months, under the Heavenly Timing and environment, is almost a hundred years, perhaps not enough?"

Su Yan Yan shook her head, "That's not enough. The First Ancestor originally wanted to arrange for you to cultivate in the Heavenly Timing until you broke through to the Nascent Soul Perfection, while I would prefer to be able to reach the edge of the Spirit Transformation stage."

But now, we only have a maximum of ninety-odd years left, so today we are going to enter the Heavenly Longevity Hall.

If you're not ready yet, I can give you a few days' grace.

Chen Dengming couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

The First Ancestor is really going all out this time, seemingly willing to gamble everything and sacrifice a great deal of precious Heavenly Timing to nurture him and Su Yan Yan.

"It seems the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator have arrived with great force this time?"

Su Yan Yan turned around and said, "It's not just the group of cultivators that the Outer Realm Devil Venerable brought from beyond the realm, but also that group of Evil Cultivator who have been expelled for more than fifty years."

Among them are the Three Saints Dao Lord, as well as the Heavenly Demon, the Mochao Kingdom Lord, the Heaven and Earth Sword Lord, and the Five Elements Sword Lord —all Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord.

Although these Spirit Transformation will have their own Dao suppressed upon entering the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, and even their Spirit Transmutation Dao Power will be affected, they are still incredibly powerful and pose a threat.

Su Yan Yan turned around to face Chen Dengming, her bright, intelligent eyes filled with a hint of helplessness. She looked at him intently and sighed softly, "Therefore, even though time is tight and there are many difficulties, Junior Brother, you still have to overcome them."

Chen Dengming frowned, then his brows relaxed, and a confident smile appeared on his handsome face.

"What difficulties could I possibly have? It's just continuing my secluded cultivation, utilizing the Heavenly Timing —a resource others can only dream of. What kind of difficulty is that?"

This was indeed not a difficult task for him; while other cultivators faced bottlenecks, he did not.

As long as you practice step by step, you will definitely reap the rewards and increase your proficiency in Daoist techniques.

The only thing that needs to be overcome, and what Su Yan Yan is worried about, is the psychological pressure brought about by prolonged seclusion.

But this psychological pressure was nothing to him.

Su Yan Yan gazed intently into Chen Dengming's confident eyes, as if she could see that domineering and fierce figure sweeping across the Battlefield. A smile appeared on her face as well. "Good!"

Chen Dengming nodded and said, "Since time is of the essence, let's begin today. Give me half a day to handle everything concerning the sect and external affairs."

Since time is of the essence and we need to enter the Heavenly Longevity Hall to cultivate with all Heavenly Timing might, then we cannot even leave a clone outside the sect.

Apart from the Incense Clone, all other clones will enter the Heavenly Timing Time with him to cultivate, striving to improve their strength by all means.

As a result, all matters, large and small, within the sect need to be entrusted to He Yingyu, Xing Huiguang, and many elders for full handling.

It would take Chen Dengming half a day to arrange all these matters.

At the same time.

Above the land of exile in the Western Regions, where the Spirit Thunder Layer is close to the heavens, figures with astonishing spiritual power gathered.

When the spiritual lightning bolts, powerful enough to threaten even Nascent Soul True Lord, spread out, they dissipated on their own before even getting close to the figures, as if an invisible, domineering force made it difficult for the spiritual lightning bolts to approach.

One of the middle-aged men, exuding a chilling Devil Qi, coldly said, "The Immortal Sect the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm is about to open. At this point, have you not yet made your decision?"

Once inside the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, our own Dao power will be suppressed, and our Spirit Transformation Law Power will also be suppressed to the greatest extent.

The long-lived old tortoise and the scoundrel Qu will definitely not let go of such a great opportunity to strike us hard.

Only the power of the Devilish Immortal Way can devour the power of other lineages, thus mitigating some of the suppression from the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

"That's true, but Mochao Kingdom Lord, you're asking us to contribute our own Dao power at a critical moment to boost your and the Heavenly Demons' strength. Doesn't that weaken even our last bit of self-defense?"

On the other side, a tall, handsome middle-aged man with a long, narrow face but distinct features frowned and said, "If that's the case, we might as well stay in the Four Domains, not enter the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, and be willing to be exiled for life."

Upon hearing this, the others also displayed various expressions, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

Finally, the seemingly middle-aged scholar-like Heaven and Earth Sword Lord sighed with his hands behind his back, "Five Elements Sword Lord, we discussed this difference of opinion decades ago."

Even now, we still don't trust each other, and in that case, it will be very difficult for us to extricate ourselves.

"In that case, I suggest that both the Demon Demon and the Heavenly Demon swear an oath by the Demon Immortal that they will never betray each other or take advantage of each other's misfortunes. This would give each other some space to trust each other."

The Five Elements Sword Lord frowned and pondered for a while. Seeing that the Mochao Kingdom Lord and the Heavenly Demon, who had opposed this suggestion decades ago, did not object but had gloomy faces, he slowly nodded in agreement.

He is now filled with helplessness and a touch of regret.

In the past, in pursuit of more resources and the possibility of reaching the Dao Integration Realm, he chose to betray the Four Domains and establish a deep cooperation with the Heaven and Earth Sword Hall.

The benefit he received was that the Dao power and sword techniques contributed by the swordsmanship of the outer realms truly benefited him greatly, giving him hope for achieving Dao integration in the future.

Unexpectedly, the war of invasion from foreign lands ended in failure, resulting in even greater losses.

The Five Elements Sword Sect is now in a much worse state than before, and is struggling to make progress. Even its ability to break out of its predicament after entering the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm depends on the efforts of others.
