A Hundred Thousand Units of Immortal Aura! The Fortune Dao Recognizes a Nonhuman
In the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, both the Heavenly Longevity Hall and the Heavenly Destiny Hall floated above the vast continent, attracting wisps of immortal Immortal Spiritual Energy to linger around them.
From afar, the two celestial palaces appear to be situated amidst a vast, white sea of clouds, with layers of clouds resembling a ladder of cotton leading directly to the palaces.
Above, the vast sea of clouds seemed still and frozen, its pale color tinged with a hint of crimson and a touch of madness, with flashes of lightning occasionally streaking across the sky, sending chills down one's spine.
Above the Immortal Palace, on the clouds, Longevity Dao Lord Lu Xiucheng and Heavenly Dao Ancestor Qu Shenzong exchanged a glance, their weariness seemingly easing considerably at that moment.
"With this much Immortal Spiritual Energy, it should be enough for your two younger relatives to absorb."
Qu Shenzong looked at Lu Xiucheng with a smile.
Lu Xiucheng sighed, "We're just drinking poison to quench our thirst. Once this Immortal Spiritual Energy is depleted, the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm will collapse and disintegrate at an even faster pace, and it might even exacerbate the madness of the Heavenly Dao. It's only in recent years that the Heavenly Dao has finally calmed down a bit."
"At a time like this, you mustn't think like that anymore. You and I both know it's worth it."
Qu Shenzong said solemnly, "A short pain is better than a long one. If we cannot stop the Outer Realm Devil Venerable this time, we should try to bury them all within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm."
Not only will the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm be transformed into the Demon Realm, but the Four Seas Four Regions will also be doomed forever.
Therefore, our preparations are necessary. After a brief period of growing pains, if we can solve the problem once and for all, at least the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm will still exist, Four Seas Four Regions will still exist."
Lu Xiucheng nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with determination, and said, "You're right. At least these disciples still have a sense of responsibility, so we still have hope of victory. It's just that this time, your Tiandao Sect will have to sacrifice even more for my Longevity Sect."
Qu Shenzong laughed heartily, his demeanor one of grandeur, "At this point, the Four Seas Four Regions are one family, let alone your Longevity Sect and my Tiandao Sect?"
To be honest, these resources aren't easy to obtain. Your Longevity Sect is full of talented people, and only those with the ability can acquire the resources we've accumulated.
"In our Tiandao Sect, only Xuan Chenxiao the standard, but his accumulation is already sufficient, so there's no need to waste any more resources."
Having said that, Lu Xiucheng no longer hesitated or feigned concern. After nodding, his eyes focused with azure light, his intention transforming into the Heaven's Will, and he began to contact his two disciples who were far away in the Eastern Region.
Qu Shenzong then turned his gaze to the Heavenly Destiny Hall.
Inside the Heavenly Destiny Hall, two figures sat cross-legged.
It was none other than Xuan Chenxiao, the Heavenly Dao Second Ancestor, and Qiao Zhaoxian.
The former possessed a majestic aura, still at the peak of the Nascent Soul Perfection stage, with a perfectly balanced and unbreakable aura, and his brows were furrowed.
The latter, however, was at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, deep in thought, his eyes sometimes lost in confusion, sometimes gazing into the distance.
Seeing this scene, Qu Shenzong sighed inwardly.
Compared to Su Yan Yan and Chen Dengming, two rising stars of the Longevity Sect, their own two disciples were actually outshone.
If there were even the slightest possibility that Xuan Chenxiao could break through to the Spirit Transmutation Stage within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, he would not hesitate to invest numerous resources in him.
Naihe Xuan Chenxiao had already reached the Nascent Soul Perfection for many years. What he lacked was not the accumulated Law Power Primordial Spirit foundation, but his mind.
If Xuan Chenxiao hadn't suffered such a crushing defeat in his battle against Dongfang Huayuan, or if he had been able to break through the desperate situation using the Heavenly Dao Technique during the battle, he might have had a smooth journey ahead.
However, his invincible belief was shattered back then, which shook his faith in destiny and caused mental obstacles, preventing him from reaching the Spirit Transformation.
This is no longer something that can be solved simply by having more resources; the opportunity to overcome the obstacle lies solely within itself.
As for Qiao Zhaoxian, although he lacked resources, he had only broken through to the Nascent Soul Early Stage for about ten years, and his cultivation level was too low.
Even with sufficient resources, it is impossible to influence the situation at crucial moments. Therefore, at present, we can only provide some guidance and training, but it is difficult to expend a lot of resources on it.
Within the Longevity Sect.
Chen Dengming had already arranged all the affairs within the sect, and then spent a few more moments of tender time with He Yingyu and her husband.
Next, although it will only be a normal three-month seclusion in the Cultivation World, it is very likely that the Immortal Sect will open after the seclusion, and then they will go to the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm to fight. The two will be separated more often and will find it difficult to share a bed and talk at night as husband and wife.
"My Husband, this is a rare opportunity. Every bit of cultivation you gain during this Heavenly Timing will be a step towards greater strength. You can entrust the sect to me with peace of mind. You should go as soon as possible."
Inside the cave abode, He Yingyu, though reluctant to part, still thoughtfully straightened Chen Dengming's clothes and urged him on.
Chen Dengming responded with a soft "hmm," and looking at He Yingyu's lingering gaze and alluring pink cheeks, he felt a pang of pity.
I couldn't help but lean in and give him a little affectionate kiss, as a final farewell.
Who wouldn't love their own wife?
Although He Yingyu has become Dao Child, she has worked hard for the sect all these years without enjoying many resources. Now, she is so sensible and considerate, truly a model wife.
People generally say that He Yingyu is lucky because she married Fighting Longevity Lord, the Longevity Sect Leader.
Only Chen Dengming knows the truth about his own affairs.
Back then, his senior sister was considered to have condescended to marry him. Everyone said that Old Deng was lucky, that a toad had eaten swan meat, and everyone was so envious that they drooled inside the house. His senior Senior Brother Guan even cried for several years.
Now that he's successful, he knows he can't abandon his wife who's shared hardship, let alone his senior sister, who's not just a wife who's shared hardship, but also shrewd and capable. Naturally, he keeps her Keeping a Beauty in a Golden House and cherishes her himself.
"Alright, alright, my Husband, if you keep acting like this, I really won't be able to bear it."
He Yingyu was quite embarrassed by Chen Dengming's groping, and pushed him away as if begging for mercy, burying her burning face in his neck.
"Very well! I will go and cultivate diligently. You, within the sect, must also cultivate diligently and condense your Nascent Soul as soon as possible."
Chen Dengming, seeing that he had the upper hand, patted his back and got up to leave.
He knew that time was precious, so he decided to say goodbye and that was enough. After offering some words of comfort, he thought it was about time to leave.
Soon, under He Yingyu's lingering gaze, Chen Dengming left the cave abode and reunited with Su Yan Yan.
Before long, the two of them simultaneously sensed the fluctuations of the will of Heaven's Will.
Following the will of Heaven's Will, the two flew towards the Sky Dome.
The immense aura of the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng, accompanied by Heaven's Will akin to the might of the heavens, descended upon the two of them.
Deep within the clouds and mist of the sky, the face of the First Ancestor appeared. In his right eye, the majestic and magnificent phantom of the Heavenly Longevity Hall emerged, its gates emitting azure light that poured down and shone upon the two figures.
Chen Dengming and his companion were immediately drawn into the Heavenly Longevity Hall.
At the same time.
Further away, above the Tiandao Sect, Qu Shenzong, holding the Heavenly Destiny Hall, also appeared in the sky above the Tiandao Sect.
Under the light emanating from the gates of the Heavenly Destiny Hall, Qiao Zhaoxian and Xuan Chenxiao flew out from within the Heavenly Destiny Hall and headed towards the Tiandao Sect.
"The First Ancestor!"
Qiao Zhaoxian looked up at Qu Shenzong in the sky.
Qu Shenzong nodded slightly and transmitted his voice with a smile, "Go. There are still three months left. The Immortal Sect may open soon. In these three months, you should think more about how to use the power of destiny. There's no rush to improve your Strength Realm."
"Yes!" Qiao Zhaoxian bowed solemnly.
The gains he made during the year or so he spent cultivating in the Heavenly Destiny Hall were far greater than what he had made in decades of arduous training on his own.
As a result, although his Strength Realm has not yet improved, his application of the power of Fate Dao and various Law Technique Divine Ability has greatly improved, and his cultivation level has also increased considerably.
However, when he thought of the First Ancestor's evaluation of Chen Dengming, he found it difficult to feel any complacency; all he felt was boundless fighting spirit and pressure.
"Old Chen! Your breakthrough was too fast! You really don't give your brother any face. I've heard that once the Immortal Sect opens, you will be one of the four chiefs of the Four Seas Four Regions, leading a team into the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm."
Qiao Zhaoxian withdrew his gaze, clenched his fists tightly, and descended towards the sect below.
Heavenly Longevity Hall, wisps of Immortal Spiritual Energy floated gently.
After Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan entered the hall through the enormous eye of the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng, they were immediately enveloped in Immortal Spiritual Energy.
They immediately felt completely refreshed, and the 36,000 acupoints in their bodies became rapidly active, absorbing the rich immortal Immortal Spiritual Energy, and their cultivation began to surge.
"This is.?"
Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan were both shocked. They never expected to encounter such a grand scene as soon as they entered the Heavenly Longevity Hall.
The two looked up, and the azure blue Immortal Celestial Dao Power emanating from the Dao Stone descended like a blue ribbon, enveloping them.
The surrounding Immortal Spiritual Energy gently gathered and surged, spreading out and connecting in a variety of shapes and forms, creating a wonderful and fascinating scene.
The blue face of the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng was reflected within the Dao Stone, majestic and unfathomable, emanating a voice that was both dignified and benevolent.
"Don't be surprised. This time, thanks to Fellow Daoist Qu of the Tiandao Sect's righteous assistance, who gave up their Tiandao Sect's resources, you will not only have nearly a hundred years of favorable Heavenly Timing for cultivation, but also obtain 100,000 cubic meters of Immortal Spiritual Energy for your cultivation."
As for how much you will ultimately gain, that depends on your own fate.
"The Tiandao Sect made a sacrifice?" Chen Dengming asked in surprise, but then frowned as he looked at the gathering Immortal Spiritual Energy beside him.
"But Ancestor, if a large amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy leaks out, wouldn't that accelerate the disintegration of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm? This is 100,000 cubic meters of Immortal Spiritual Energy!"
Chen Dengming was very clear about what 100,000 cubic meters of Immortal Spiritual Energy meant.
This means that after absorbing all 100,000 cubic meters of Immortal Spiritual Energy, 100,000 cubic meters of land in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm will collapse and disintegrate, falling as meteorites and being destroyed.
Su Yan Yan, standing to the side, was also shaken and felt considerable pressure.
"In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles," the First Ancestor said calmly.
"Since you have participated in the plan to the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and resist foreign enemies, you should be clear about the responsibilities on your shoulders."
I won't say my biggest expectations for the two of you for now, so as not to put too much pressure on you.
But for now, all you need to do is focus on increasing your strength. If the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm is invaded by the Outer Realm Devil Venerable and the Immortal Celestial Lineage is devoured, then no matter how much Immortal Spiritual Energy you have, it will only become nourishment for others to invade the four realms after they become stronger."
Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
It seems that both the First Ancestor and Senior Qu have high hopes for the two of them, and there may be an extremely important plan that requires their participation.
"It seems that the suppression of Spirit Transformation cultivators within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm is too great, and the First Ancestor and Senior Qu have also placed some of their hopes on my senior sister and me."
But the prerequisite is that my senior sister and I both need to become stronger; I at least need to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Perfection. But right now..."
Chen Dengming was feeling unsettled and uncertain.
He knew very well that, based on the standard that the higher the level of cultivation, the purer the required Law Power, even if he had no bottlenecks in his cultivation, he might not be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Perfection even if he cultivated for another two hundred years.
He just didn't know how many years of hard work he and his senior sister could save if they each absorbed half of the 100,000 cubic meters of Immortal Spiritual Energy.
"You can start cultivating now. During this time, I will tell you some things to be aware of after the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm opens."
The ancestor's mighty voice echoed down, and the Immortal Spiritual Energy, like a thousand waves, accompanied by the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, enveloped Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan.
A vast, heavenly pressure descended from the sky, and the First Ancestor's azure eyes turned icy and ruthless, even bearing a hint of the Dao of Heavenly Dao.
Under its gaze, in an instant, the traces of time around them began to increase dramatically as the Immortal Celestial Dao Power immortals grew stronger.
The shifting Immortal Spiritual Energy resembled a slow-motion video, moving eerily frame by frame.
Time changes.
Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan's movements seemed to accelerate hundreds of times, proceeding at a speed so fast it was almost blurry in the Heavenly Timing weather.
This is, of course, just a special phenomenon that appears from the outside.
In Heavenly Timing, neither of them felt much of a sense of unease and continued with their preparations as usual.
Chen Dengming immediately formed six Heavenly Immortal Clones by performing a hand seal.
His Spiritual Realm is already much higher than when he could condense four clones. In addition, with the improvement of his Strength Realm, he can now condense six clones at the same time without feeling too much mental burden.
But this is also the best state to be in at the current stage.
With his six avatars cultivating alongside his main body, his cultivation speed will be astonishing.
Therefore, it was originally planned that it would take more than 50 years to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, but it only took 48 years, three of which were delayed because he was with Xu Wei.
At this moment, as the six clones condensed together, they sat around Chen Dengming according to his wishes and began to cultivate the <Heavenly Immortal Art> by forming hand Law Seals.
Instantly, the surrounding Immortal Spiritual Energy, along with the Spiritual Qi floating down from above, was drawn in like a rainbow.
Chen Dengming took off his Storage Bag one by one and placed them on the ground to the side.
During the nearly one hundred Heavenly Timing of cultivation he will have to devote himself to his practice, he will also need to organize his Law Treasure and study the Shore Flower during his rest periods.
No one can maintain the continuous circulation of the Daoist energy for a hundred years.
At least since Chen Dengming began cultivating immortality, he has never encountered a method that allows one to cultivate as if in a perpetual motion machine.
Generally, one can spend at most half a day practicing, and the rest of the time is for rest and studying other Technique Method.
These rest periods can also be considered as the time for communication, as mentioned by the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng.
At this moment, the voice of the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng continued to be transmitted from outside.
However, what should have been a gradual flow of information became a rapid-fire stream of messages due to the acceleration of time.
This stream of information suddenly flooded into Chen Dengming's mind, instantly making him aware of some things he needed to pay attention to within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.
"Within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, what the Outer Realm Devil Venerable cares about most is naturally the Immortal Celestial Lineage and the Three Palaces of Fortune, Longevity, and Life. If he obtains the Dao lineage devoured by the Three Palaces, the Outer Realm Devil Venerable will have the same opportunity to obtain the entire Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm."
Based on our observations over the years, Fellow Daoist Qu and I have finally come to a very sad conclusion: the Outer Realm Devil Venerable may have gained partial recognition from the Path of Fortune, and the blessed objects he possesses are most likely Dao artifacts of the Path of Fortune."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming was deeply shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How could an Outer Realm Devil Venerable Outer Domain Evil Cultivator, gain the approval of the Heavenly Immortal Blessing Path?
How did they manage that?
In an instant, his mind flashed back to wars of foreign invasion that had taken place over a thousand years ago.
Although the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator were repelled at that time, it was also then that the Outer Realm Devil Venerable used his Devilish Immortal Way power to devour the power of multiple lineages within the Inner Domain, thus increasing his demonic might.
Could it be that, at that time, the Outer Realm Devil Venerable fortuitous opportunity, by chance, devoured the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, and within it lay a treasure of the Dao?
