Burying Corpses in the Immortal Abode! Even a Dao-Cultivator Can Be Nourishment
The Mochao Kingdom Lord was certainly using various manipulative and alarmist words to save his own life.
However, the threat from the Outer Realm Devil Venerable is indeed a problem that everyone will need to face and urgently solve.
Fortunately, thanks to the suppression and protection of the High Antiquity realm of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, the Four Seas Four Regions are not entirely without hope.
Chen Dengming reunited with the others who had finished their battle.
As everyone looked at his towering, Silver Light figure, which was over twenty feet tall, they all felt an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Especially the Mochao Kingdom Lord, who was firmly suppressed in his palms, whose occasional release of his Spirit Transmutation Spiritual Might was enough to make people's hearts tremble.
Qiao Zhaoxian a chill run down his spine.
Just being in close proximity to such Spirit Transmutation Spiritual Might made him tremble with fear, and he dared not imagine what it would be like to fight a Divine Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord head-on.
Even a Nascent Spirit Transformation whose strength has been greatly suppressed is still bigger than a horse, even if they are weakened.
"Old Chen, your strength is truly astounding! This size and power, could it be the Human Immortal Divine Ability of the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage that you used before? You can even grow this big now?"
Qiao Zhaoxian around Chen Dengming, marveling at the sight. His gaze fell on the giant deer on Chen Dengming's robe, finding the muscular deer incredibly cool and to his liking.
"Fellow Daoist Chen's title of Fighting Longevity Lord' is indeed well-deserved. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Chen and Fellow Daoist Xuan displaying their divine power today, we would all be in serious trouble."
"This Mo Jiazheng, the Supreme Elder of the Shu Sword Pavilion, is saying with emotion."
"Elder Mo, you flatter us. Everyone contributed to this battle, and Mochao Crown Prince and the others are no pushovers either."
Chen Dengming shook his head, his voice booming like a great bell, creating waves of sound.
He looked at Su Yan Yan, nodded slightly, and was relieved to find that his senior sister was not injured.
Although the battle was extremely fierce, it ultimately annihilated the enemies who had escaped from the Immortal King's Mansion.
On their side, no one died, except for True Lord True Lord, who was seriously injured, and Qiao Zhaoxian, who suffered minor injuries.
"Sect Leader Chen, the Mochao Crown Prince, and the Shuangxue Body Sect Master's Nascent Soul Divine Soul are all bound within this bottle. This bottle isn't a very good soul-capturing magic Law Treasure; you should capture them yourself."
At this moment, Xuan Chenxiao raised his hand and summoned a slender-necked magic bottle, saying helplessly.
"The Nascent Soul Divine Soul of the Demon Devilish Son and the Lord of the Heaven and Heaven and Earth Sword Hall could not be subdued; they were both destroyed in the battle."
"It's alright, being able to take in two is already very good."
Chen Dengming immediately thanked him and then had Su Yan Yan take the Soul-Locking Silk with her help, saying, "Let's deal with the Mochao Kingdom Lord first, and then I'll take care of these two demons."
These Nascent Soul Divine Soul are priceless; you can deduct the exact amount from my contribution later."
Dunyu True Lord immediately objected, waving his hands repeatedly, "Hey?! Sect Leader Chen, you're exaggerating. You can use this Nascent Soul Divine Soul to annihilate more Outer Domain Evil Cultivator in the future. We'd be overjoyed. How dare you mention sharing the profits with it?"
"Indeed! We have no use for Nascent Soul Divine Soul or Divine Soul, so Sect Leader Chen, please don't stand on ceremony in this regard. The overall situation of preserving the Four Domains and Four Seas should be the priority."
Seeing that everyone was politely declining, Chen Dengming immediately stopped being so polite.
He does indeed need Nascent Soul Divine Soul.
Putting aside everything else, the severe damage suffered by the Giant Deer and the White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot alone requires divine souls to heal.
Julu, in particular, was now filled with resentment. If it weren't for his powerful Human Immortal Physique suppressing it, anyone else would have already suffered a backlash.
The rumbling and commotion from the Immortal King's Mansion's Mansion gradually subsided.
Everyone knew that the great battle inside was probably over.
They immediately relaxed considerably.
Chen Dengming shared some information he had learned from the Mochao Kingdom Lord with everyone.
In particular, there's the news that the mysterious Buddha Guai might be hunting down any external Spirit Transformation.
"With the Living Buddha Venerable outside, even if that Buddha Guai is truly insane, I think the situation should still be under control."
Xuan Chenxiao and said, "I have heard my master mention this person before. This Buddha Guai has a very mysterious background and is suspected to have a great connection with the Living Buddha Venerable."
When our four regions fell to the Japanese, the reason why the Vajra Putuo Gate chose to stand idly by was because it received instructions from the Living Buddha Venerable Sumeru Island.
The Living Buddha Venerable may have been pressured by this Buddha Guai, and there may have been some agreement between them, a mutual restraint, which led to some misunderstandings back then."
Among the crowd, including Chen Dengming, there was actually some misunderstanding about the Vajra Putuo Gate's inaction back then, and now they all have some guesses.
Given the power and status we held back then, we couldn't see things clearly. But now, the truth is presented from a different perspective.
Now, hearing Xuan Chenxiao say this, the feeling is even clearer.
Su Yan Yan nodded and frowned, "Now it seems that the Buddha Guai was indeed restrained by the Living Buddha Venerable. Otherwise, if the Outer Realm Devil Venerable Buddha Guai also actively intervened when he led many Evil Cultivators to invade, the situation in the four regions would have been even worse."
However, the Buddha Guai that the Living Buddha Venerable had not intervened, and the Living Buddha Venerable also adhered to some kind of agreement between them, making it difficult for him to take action. He even had to restrict the Vajra Putuo Gate from intervening, in order to prevent misunderstandings.
"But now that he's realized the Three Saints Dao Lord and the others have fallen into a trap, this Buddha Guai can't sit still anymore; it seems he's going to break the agreement."
Qiao Zhaoxian his thick eyebrows and said indignantly, "This person is also a person without any magnanimity. Even if his cultivation is high, I think he is not as good as the founding ancestors of our two sects, and even not as good as many of our fellow cultivators."
Chen Dengming recalled the threat he had felt when he secretly speculated about this person in the past, as if he could be locked onto by the other party.
However, when discussing this person in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, there is no sense of threat whatsoever, as if there were thorns in one's back. It seems that the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm has isolated the near-omniscient perception of such a Dao-Merging expert.
He immediately reminded everyone not to discuss such a powerful person after they left, lest they bring disaster upon themselves.
Even knowing such horrifying news, no one has time to think about or consider the current situation outside.
That Buddha Guai was a genuine Dao-Merging expert.
If even Living Buddha Venerable could not stop the Buddha Guai from venting his anger on the many Spirit Transmutation Dao Lords, then no matter how much these Nascent Soul Nascent Soul worried, it was all in vain.
Many of the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord are incredibly Connecting to Heaven and cunning; they are not lambs to the slaughter. If they intend to hide, it will not be so easy for the Buddha Guai to hunt them down.
The real danger lies in the fact that if such a terrifying figure were to lose all sense of decency and take his anger out on the many cultivators and mortals in the Human World, it would be a catastrophe even more terrifying than an invasion by Outer Domain Evil Cultivator.
At this moment.
Inside the Immortal King's Mansion.
The rolling red clouds of calamity piled up in layers, swirling and churning rapidly like thick smoke billowing from the chimneys of every household.
Within this mansion, shrouded in calamity energy, only two figures with weakened auras remained standing, along with a pile of mangled corpses struggling to move.
Apart from that, there was nothing else that seemed to be Life Force.
Longevity Dao Lord Lu Xiucheng had blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, his hair was disheveled, and seven or eight crisscrossing, shocking bloodstains appeared on his chest, deep enough to expose the bone. His Daoist body had suffered a serious injury.
His once majestic and unfathomable azure face now shows a significant reduction in blue Dao power, and several age spots have appeared on his face, his expression full of fatigue and the signs of old age.
Qu Shenzong, standing beside him, was in much better shape. Although he was also quite exhausted, he was not injured and his aura was stronger. He looked at the broken corpses scattered on the ground, let out a long breath, and then looked at Lu Xiucheng.
"I never expected that the Buddha Guai would reappear and attack, severely injuring your Primordial Spirit with his Dao Intent. Otherwise, this battle wouldn't have been so arduous for both of us, and you wouldn't have been so badly injured."
Lu Xiucheng, exuding an air of age, calmly smiled upon hearing this and said, "The weather is unpredictable and ever -Heaven's Will, and we are all following its Heaven's Will. Is there anything we still cannot see through or accept?"
Qu Shenzong sighed, "The more open-minded you seem to be than I am, the more I regret it."
The Four Regions Cultivators all hold me, Qu, in high esteem, regarding me as the number one person in the four regions. But over the years, only I have known that there has always been an even higher mountain above my head.
That's you, Longevity Peak. You had a much better chance than me to reach the Dao Integration stage, and you should have been able to do so much earlier.
I never understood why you failed to achieve enlightenment until a few years ago.
Qu Shenzong looked regretful, not only for Lu Xiucheng's past, but also for Lu Xiucheng's impending doom.
Lu Xiucheng showed no regret or pity, saying, "What I cannot do, my junior disciples will, and you can do it too."
Qu Shenzong's body trembled. "I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of him?"
Lu Xiucheng turned his head. "Shouldn't it be higher?"
Qu Shenzong was taken aback.
The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
High.
It definitely should be higher.
Originally, the Mochao Kingdom Lord had escaped, and the two of them were extremely anxious and impatient, but then they suddenly realized...
Outside, Chen Dengming had already suppressed the Mochao Kingdom Lord, putting their minds at ease so they could focus on dealing with the trapped beasts inside.
It's hard not to have high hopes for such a younger generation.
Now.
Seeing the pile of shattered corpses on the ground gradually being eroded by the power of the tribulation and losing its strength.
The two stopped exchanging words and quickly took action, digging pits on the spot to bury the dismembered body in different places. Then they swiftly withdrew from the Immortal King's Mansion, which was filled with tribulation power.
If they don't leave soon, all the good fortune they've gained from exploiting Heavenly Fortune Hall over the past few decades will be completely wiped out by the calamity.
This kind of calamity power is something even immortals of the past would not want to be tainted by, for once tainted, the consequences would be endless.
Only the blessings of the Heavenly Fortune Hall could barely offset the calamity, which is what is meant by "Fortune Shines Brightly," using blessings to ward off disaster.
They had been preparing for this situation for decades, using the power of calamity to destroy their enemy.
The fact that the fragmented corpses of all the Nascent Spirit Transformation were buried within the Immortal King's Mansion was quite significant.
Outside the Immortal King's Mansion.
Just as Chen Dengming watched Xuan Chenxiao and the others finish cleaning up the Battlefield, he saw a slight tremor in the misty aura at the entrance of the Immortal King's Mansion's Mansion.
Then, the figures of the two progenitors flew out of the mansion together.
Everyone immediately gathered around.
Seeing that their ancestor seemed to be seriously injured, Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan were both shocked and immediately asked what was wrong.
To avoid worrying his juniors, and because there was no need to be overly pessimistic and dampen morale, Lu Xiucheng simply said it was no problem and let it go.
Chen Dengming and Su Yan Yan exchanged a helpless glance, both seeing a hint of worry in each other's eyes.
However, since it concerned the First Ancestor, he had his own arrangements.
As the younger generation, they had concerns, but they could only keep those concerns to themselves.
There was no other way but to cooperate; it was impossible to change certain decisions made by the First Ancestor.
Ultimately, these two can be considered the pillars of the four domains, having shouldered too much for them and forging ahead with heavy burdens.
Even if younger generations like Chen Dengming want to help share the burden, it depends on whether they have the ability to do so.
Soon, at Qu Shenzong's praise and request, Chen Dengming handed over the Flesh and Blood of the Mochao Kingdom Lord that he had been suppressing in his palm to Qu Shenzong for 'destruction'.
Seeing that Qu Shenzong easily subdued the Mochao Kingdom Lord with a jar-like Law Treasure and then flew back towards the Immortal King's Mansion's Mansion, Chen Dengming and the others looked puzzled.
"Burial these Spirit Transformation within the Immortal King's Mansion will allow their power to become nourishment, dissolved by the calamity force of the Immortal King's Mansion. Not only will their Primordial Spirit spirits be unable to escape the entanglement of the calamity force and be reborn as evil spirits, but their Flesh and Blood essence will also be transformed into part of the Immortal Spiritual Energy."
The First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng, said with his hands behind his back, "This can be considered as a way to cleanse them of their sins and make some final contribution to the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm."
Chen Dengming suddenly realized, and involuntarily thought of Shi Yiyin, the Spirit Transmutation Malevolent Spirit Wonderful Sound Sect the Miaoyin Sect who had become a deity in the past.
It seems that the primordial ancestors had conducted in-depth research on how to destroy those Spirit Transformation.
It completely eliminates the possibility of Spirit Transformation cultivators being reborn, not even giving them the chance to become evil spirits.
"In fact, let alone those who have reached the Spirit Transformation, even ordinary people or those Dao Integration Great Power will become nourishment for the universe after death."
Lu Xiucheng shook his head and sighed, then looked at Chen Dengming and smiled, "It is said that after a Dao Integration Great Power dies, their essence, Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit will dissipate and be directly devoured and absorbed by the power of the various immortal realms, transforming into boundless immortal spiritual Spiritual Qi and Dao power."
This is the resource that newcomers can obtain, allowing them to gradually grow stronger and hopefully advance to the Dao Integration Realm.
"Resources." Chen Dengming nodded, finally seeing the true and bloody side of this world.
While cultivating immortality relies on personal enlightenment, it still requires the support of resources.
In the past, when they were weak, the Rogue Cultivator would fight amongst themselves like chickens pecking at each other, all for the sake of resources.
Later, as they grew stronger, the wars between the four domains and the invasions from beyond the domains were all for resources.
Unexpectedly, even becoming Dao Integration Great Power could not completely liberate him. After death, he would become part of the resources, strengthening the Immortal Realm and becoming a resource for future generations to draw upon to become stronger.
The image of the fifth Dao Intent of the Human Immortal flashed through his mind. In that image, after the High Antiquity Immortal died, he fell to the ground, and his Flesh and Blood dissolved into the earth, giving birth to countless little people, which seemed to foreshadow an ending.
"Life and death."
Unbeknownst to him, the Daoist principles concerning 'life and death' that had once been born deep within Chen Dengming's heart were once again touched, and he gained some new insights.
He realized that life and death are like a cyclical process, with the strong dying and the weak being born from the soil left behind by the strong, taking their place as the strong. This seems to be a kind of 'Life and Death Cycle'.
"Um?"
Lu Xiucheng looked at Chen Dengming, who was emanating a faint aura of Dao, with surprise in his eyes.
What's wrong with this disciple?
He had only exchanged a few words with him, yet the man exuded an aura of Daoist wisdom, as if he had attained some kind of enlightenment.
Even knowing that Chen Dengming was exceptionally talented and possessed some secrets, Lu Xiucheng's astonishing performance.
He cultivated immortality for nearly six thousand years and encountered countless extraordinary people and individuals.
However, very few of them could truly rival Chen Dengming at this moment, and most of them had opportunities but lacked the strength and fortune, ultimately dying young.
Among those people was a poor scholar who could compose a poem in seven steps, whose noble spirit could shake the heavens and earth, and who was able to defy Spirit Root and enter the Immortal Path.
Those heroes who shed their blood on the battlefield, their hearts filled with unwavering loyalty, become ghost kings after death.
There was an Incense Dao attained enlightenment, and whose chickens and dogs all ascended to heaven.
But having seen it all, in his view, those people's ultimate achievements were nothing more than this.
Chen Dengming's behavior at this moment gave him a glimpse of many possibilities and hopes, especially one of those hopes, which was linked to the upcoming plan.
"All of you, disperse and do not disturb him; let him have his moment of enlightenment."
Lu Xiucheng immediately waved his sleeve to dismiss everyone, leaving Chen Dengming to remain and meditate.
Such a golden opportunity should not be allowed to be disturbed by others.
"A sudden epiphany?"
Su Yan Yan was slightly surprised. As she stepped back, she looked at Chen Dengming's handsome face with white hair at the temples. For a moment, she felt that she could no longer see where this Junior Brother's future limit would be.
"What kind of monster is Old Chen? How could he suddenly have an epiphany? And what did he realize this time?"
Qiao Zhaoxian followed the others and stepped back, both surprised and envious.
Seeing Lu Xiucheng's solemn expression, he knew that Old Chen's sudden enlightenment was no small matter.
He had barely managed to catch up with the other person's silhouette, and he might be left behind again in no time.
