Nascent Soul Perfection: Instantly Forging the Initial Faith, Fire-Planted Golden Lotus, Ultimately a Stubborn Monkey Leaping from Stone

In the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, outside a desolate and treacherous mountain area, the Starfall Old Ghost was lurking furtively. He dared not enter this forbidden land, which was clearly protected by High Antiquity immortal restrictions, nor did he dare to leave. So he remained there, waiting for Chen Dengming's next order.

Unless Chen Dengming insists that he must enter the forbidden area ahead to hunt down the extraterrestrial Phoenix Cry Dao Child, he will stay out of trouble and will never rashly risk his life.

However, at this moment, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong with his master, as there had been no further instructions for a long time.

Even his numerous attempts to establish a mental connection during the journey went unanswered.

If Chen Dengming is truly dead, then he can regain his freedom. Once he leaves this uncomfortable, wretched place, he can return to the Below the Yin Spring and become the carefree Ghost Lord again, surrounded by three thousand beauties, changing brides day and night, envying neither the lovers nor the immortals.

He wouldn't dare to have any ill intentions towards his master, but if Chen Dengming himself were to fall into misfortune, he would at most shed a couple of crocodile tears, feigning affection for his master and servant, and then burst into laughter.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Ghost Emperor above, show your power and grant me, Xingluo, New Life, freeing me from the control of the long-lived Bai Mao tortoise..."

With this wicked thought arising, Starfall Old Ghost's courage grew considerably, and he dared to call out "Longevity Bai Mao Turtle" in his heart.

However, the next moment, he froze, looked around at the surrounding environment and the faint protection of the Immortal Celestial Dao Power shrouding the Ghost Body, and discovered a sore spot.

Even if Chen Dengming were to perish, he would find it difficult to leave this Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and return to the Below the Yin Spring.

Even if the protection of the Immortal Celestial Dao Power bestowed upon him by Chen Dengming collapses, he might still lose his life in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Upon realizing this, Starfall Old Ghost immediately made a bitter face.

"This is bad, this is really bad! Longevity Master, you absolutely cannot die! You must stay alive and lead this old ghost out of this hellish place..."

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Ghost Emperor, Ghost Emperor, show your power! Don't take my master's soul away..."

"Starfall! What kind of trick are you playing?"

Suddenly, Chen Dengming's voice echoed in my mind.

Starfall Old Ghost shuddered in fright, his prayer abruptly halting. He immediately composed himself, forcing an ugly smile onto his ghostly face as he responded in his mind.

"Sect Leader Chen, you're alright?"

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

Heavenly Longevity Hall, Chen Dengming was surprised, but then, through his inner fire, he saw through Starfall Old Ghost's thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Xingluo, I'm fine, but you seem disappointed."

When Starfall Old Ghost's thoughts were exposed, he became even more nervous and hurriedly denied everything, saying nice things to show his loyalty.

"Alright, I'll let it go for now. You don't need to keep watch on this Outer Domain Evil Cultivator anymore. Quickly return to the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff..."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away..."

As if granted a pardon, Starfall Old Ghost felt a sense of inexplicable peace upon learning that Chen Dengming was unharmed.

At least he won't die in this godforsaken place; at least, Chen Dengming didn't force him to venture into this perilous place.

Outside the Immortal King's Mansion, the scorching lava, which resembled a vast ocean, had cooled considerably.

Some of the ground had solidified into black, radiating intense heat; the vast expanse of black stretched as far as the eye could see, creating a sense of oppression and unease.

Su Yan Yan, her face lightly veiled, stood quietly on a high slope, gazing at the distant Immortal King's Mansion. Her beautiful eyes appeared calm, but in reality, they held a trace of worry and emotion that was hard to describe.

Not far behind, Qiao Zhaoxian, who was also keeping watch, stared at Su Yan Yan's graceful back with a sly expression. He felt more and more that the care this Third Ancestor of the Longevity Sect, his former senior, seemed to have for Old Chen was somewhat unusual.

He suddenly said, "Su Shijie, I think Old Chen should be alright. He has True Disciple of the Longevity Dao Lord, he won't die young so soon. He will surely be blessed by heaven."

"Having received the True Disciple?"

Su Yan Yan looked surprised, but didn't turn around to look at Qiao Zhaoxian.

As for True Disciple, she was the only disciple formally accepted by the Longevity Dao Lord, but she dared not claim to have received all of his True Disciple.

Moreover, she already had a hidden worry in her heart, and a premonition that something might have happened to her master.

"Ahem, what aspect of the True Disciple's am I referring to?" Qiao Zhaoxian coughed and chuckled.

"In that respect? Are you mocking our Longevity Sect?"

Su Yan Yan was incredibly intelligent. With a glance, she knew what Qiao Zhaoxian was talking about. Her beautiful eyes immediately turned cold, disliking someone who was still so improper at a time like this.

Qiao Zhaoxian taken aback, and quickly waved his hand in denial.

To be honest, he greatly admired the Longevity Dao Lord's scheming and survival skills, though it was mostly praise; he wouldn't dare to ridicule him.

However, he has always been outspoken, which sometimes makes him prone to saying the wrong thing and causing misunderstandings.

Seeing Su Yan Yan's frosty expression, he immediately changed the subject and said with a smile, "Su Shijie, don't misunderstand. I actually admire Senior Longevity Dao Lord and Old Chen very much."

However, I see that your concern for Old Chen is also very, very strong.

You stared at the Immortal King's Mansion for more than half an incense stick's time without blinking, but when the Heaven's Punishment lightning struck, you blinked thirteen times, and when the tribulation clouds rolled, you clenched your fists twice.

Qiao Zhaoxian's eyes widened as she finished speaking.

Because he could see the anger and embarrassment that Su Yan Yan could barely conceal behind her veil, and the complex emotions in her beautiful eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, he could sense the information he was curiously trying to obtain. But at the same time, this woman was becoming increasingly dangerous.

However, before Su Yan Yan could react, an excited deer cry suddenly came from afar.

The two were startled at the same time, and immediately thought of Chen Dengming's giant deer. They turned their heads to look into the distance.

But then a tattered robe flew swiftly towards them from afar. The belt around the waist, shaped like a deer's tail, had several bulging Storage Bag hanging from it. And the giant deer on the robe, with its smooth muscles and an evil glow, was even more eye-catching.

"Giant Deer Mage Robe?"

Qiao Zhaoxian in surprise, "Why did it suddenly run back? Is Old Chen really alright?"

Su Yan Yan glanced coldly at Qiao Zhaoxian. Who was it that just now confidently said that Chen Dengming would be fine?

Qiao Zhaoxian an awkward smile, rubbed his hands together, and was about to approach the Giant Deer Mage Robe.

The Giant Deer Mage Robe snorted, glanced disdainfully at Qiao Zhaoxian, and flew directly around her, heading towards the more alluring Su Yan Yan.

At the same time, Su Yan Yan felt a strangely familiar mental power suddenly invade her mind.

This spiritual power was incredibly sophisticated, and it clearly wanted her to know, deliberately greeting her rather than being offensive.

"Junior Brother! It's you, really you? Are you alright?"

Su Yan Yan's beautiful eyes shone with a strange light, her heart trembled slightly, and she immediately recognized that this mental power was Chen Dengming. She was very pleased and quickly let go of any resistance, allowing Chen Dengming to penetrate her.

"Senior sister, I'm fine, but I'm in a bit of trouble right now, which is why I'm asking for your help. That's why I summoned the Giant Deer."

Chen Dengming's mental voice quickly echoed in Su Yan Yan's mind, and then he told her what was happening in the Immortal King's Mansion and the current situation of the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng.

The fall of the First Ancestor was a great tragedy, but since things had come to this point, Su Yan Yan, as the Third Ancestor of the sect, still had to know about it.

Su Yan Yan was originally Nascent Soul True Lord, having cultivated for over five hundred years. With a steadfast mind, even in sorrow, he could not suppress his emotions.

The speed of telepathic communication is much faster than that of verbal communication.

Almost as soon as she received Chen Dengming's telepathic message, Su Yan Yan turned pale and looked grief-stricken.

However, Su Yan Yan quickly remembered Chen Dengming's current predicament, and swiftly suppressed her grief, inquiring about the situation with concern.

"Junior Brother, what do you need my help with? Tell me quickly. As long as I can help you escape from the Heavenly Prison, I will do everything in my power."

With a thought, Chen Dengming's giant deer snorted, and with a flick of its tail-transformed belt, two Storage Bag and a Soul House flew out.

After one of the Storage Bag was opened, Shore Flower planted in a pot of yin soil flew out, along with Longevity Jade Seal and Soul-Reaping Bow Staff that emitted a radiant glow.

The Soul-Reaping Bow Staff emitted a dark light, its ghostly aura intensifying. It flew out of the Starfall Old Ghost's Ghost Body and respectfully bowed to Su Yan Yan.

Soul House, the Little Array Spirit also poked its cute little head and body out, first bowing to Su Yan Yan.

"Ghost cultivator Xue Zhen greets Fellow Daoist Su."

"Senior sister, this is the Shore Flower, a treasure nurtured by the River Styx Below the Yin Spring."

"From within the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff flew the Starfall Ghost Lord from Below the Yin Spring of yesteryear. Soul House was a dao companion with whom I had cultivated day and night for many years, the spirit of a Ghost King."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan Yan first looked at Starfall Old Ghost in surprise, and then couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Little Array Spirit's pretty appearance.

In fact, she had known about the existence of this array spirit for a long time, but this was the first time Chen Dengming had introduced it to her so solemnly.

After carefully examining the Little Array Spirit, Su Yan Yan couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Xue Zhen, ghost cultivator, could you possibly be... the former Xue Zhen Ling True Lord of the Yin Ghost Sect?"

Upon hearing this, a shy smile appeared on the Little Array Spirit's pretty face. "Fellow Daoist Su, I didn't expect that after all these years, you would still remember me."

Su Yan Yan stared at the Little Array Spirit with a bewildered and shocked expression, looking quite strange.

What kind of freak is this Junior Brother of hers? Not only did he capture the Starfall Ghost Lord from the Below the Yin Spring and imprison him in the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, but the Little Female Ghost that she had always thought was just someone she kept hidden away in a golden house was actually her former senior, the Venerable Master True Lord.

"Are you two old acquaintances?"

This surprised Chen Dengming.

However, upon further reflection, the Little Array Spirit's age was even considerably older than Su Yan Yan's, and it was once Nascent Soul True Lord, so it was indeed possible that they knew each other.

Beside her, Qiao Zhaoxian only saw Su Yan Yan standing there with a rich expression, as if she were communicating with someone. Then, the Little Female Ghost that Old Chen had kept flew out of the Soul House, and the two women stared at each other.

He immediately understood what was going on, and shouted with a mixture of surprise and dissatisfaction, "Hey, Old Chen, is that you? Are you alright?"

You're really not being fair. You contacted two people the moment you had something to do. Sigh, you didn't even want me to share the good news.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had been punched in the chest. His chest felt heavy, and he immediately realized that this was Chen Dengming's response to him, in the same way as always, a blow to the chest. His face darkened.

"This Old Deng"

Su Yan Yan glanced at Qiao Zhaoxian, signaling him not to interrupt, then softly transmitted her voice in her mind, "Junior Brother, please continue, don't get distracted."

"Senior sister, next, I need to try to use the power of the Shore Flower to transport the Longevity Jade Seal and a Storage Bag to my side."

"Starfall Ghost Lord and Ling'er will use their ghost cultivation Law Power to stimulate and accelerate the ripening of the Shore Flower. Senior Sister, you must lend Ling'er a hand when I remind you, using your Immortal Celestial Dao Power to suppress the fluctuations of the Longevity Jade Seal and send it out."

In the mind of the Little Array Spirit, it received Chen Dengming's voice at the same time as Su Yan Yan. Upon hearing this, it stood at the entrance of the Soul House and obediently bowed to Su Yan Yan once again.

"Please cooperate and assist, Fellow Daoist Su!"

Seeing Su Yan Yan nod, the Little Array Spirit immediately nodded to Starfall Old Ghost.

The Starfall Old Ghost, skilled as ever, swiftly formed hand seals and cast a spell.

Instantly, a chilling ghostly aura emanated from the flower, and a wisp of ghostly smoke formed by Technique Method enveloped the Shore Flower.

Su Yan's pretty face glowed, her hair fluttered and flowed, and she cast a spell to cover the Shore Flower planted in the Yin soil. The next moment, her eyes shone brightly, and her Law Power was pushed to the limit.

Instantly, the Yin Qi in the yin soil rose, Shore Flower, which originally only had a few green leaves, gradually bloomed and opened their buds.

As the flower buds bloomed, the Yin soil quickly dried up and cracked, losing its Yin Qi. The flower buds bloomed like dragon claws, and the sharp petals seemed to tear through the void, causing dark cracks to appear in the surrounding void.

An astonishingly powerful suction force suddenly emerged from the dark crack, which gradually collapsed inward, resembling a dark vortex that led directly to the flower's roots.

With difficulty, Starfall Old Ghost Xingluo said, "The Shore Flower, the flower leads to the other shore, it's now..."

To Qiao Zhaoxian's astonishment, the Longevity Jade Seal and the Storage Bag flew over swiftly.

Su Yan Yan's eyes shone with a brilliant blue light as she simultaneously channeled her Immortal Celestial Dao Power to suppress the frenzied Heavenly Dao will on the surface of the Longevity Jade Seal.

Heavenly Longevity Hall.

Chen Dengming was astonished, feeling as if a vortex of cracks had suddenly appeared in his mental world.

Then countless roots extended from the vortex, spreading throughout the entire spiritual world.

Immediately afterwards, the inner world was also quickly penetrated.

He did not resist or stop it, but felt a tremor in his Sea of Consciousness and a stinging pain from between his Nascent Soul's eyebrows.

The next moment, a large number of roots sprouted from between the eyebrows.

Each root tore through the void, creating dark cracks. In the instant that countless roots entwined around it, the thick roots of the Shore Flower opened up like a passage leading directly to the outside world.

Whoosh--

The Longevity Jade Seal and the Storage Bag appeared together in the Heavenly Longevity Hall along this passage.

It's done.

Chen Dengming was startled and looked at the items that had appeared in the hall with surprise.

At this moment, the roots and stems of the Shore Flower were also quickly swallowed up and disappeared as the void rift rapidly closed.

Through the telepathic connection with the inner fire of the Human Heart Hall deep within his mind, Chen Dengming knew that both the Little Array Spirit and the Starfall Old Ghost were unharmed, and immediately felt relieved.

He raised his hand and summoned the Longevity Jade Seal and the Storage Bag, which flew to his front.

Storage Bag were many Spiritual Material, which could be used to forge an ordinary Physical Body after failing to condense a Dao body from the edges of Dao Stone like the Longevity Jade Seal.

However, the most pressing issue for ordinary Physical Body is the problem of Spirit Root, and Chen Dengming was not confident that he could solve this ancient calamity in the Cultivation World.

If it is Dao Stone formed from the essence of heaven Heavenly Immortal Realm the celestial realm of High Antiquity times, it is a spiritual object by nature, especially connected with the Immortal Celestial Dao Power and Immortal Spiritual Energy, and therefore does not have this kind of trouble.

"I will reshape the Physical Body with Dao Stone, nurture its life force with Phoenix Dao Fire and Heavenly Thunder, imbue it with Immortal Spiritual Energy, and grant it divine will with the will of Heaven's Will. Finally, I will finish it off with the Life and Death Dao Rhyme. I only hope that my plan will succeed."

Chen Dengming's eyes gleamed as he silently stared at the control panel.

It was then observed that the proficiency of the <Heavenly Immortal Art> had not only fully recovered the portion previously absorbed by the mad Heavenly Dao Will, but had also increased to over 13,000 points during the process of recklessly absorbing Immortal Spiritual Energy.

This is almost a third of the way through the cultivation process in the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

If this continues, he may break through to the Nascent Soul Perfection in two or three days.

At that time, when his condition reaches its peak, it will be the best time to begin forging his Dao body.

Meanwhile, the seed of Life and Death Dao Rhyme within his body had grown several times larger after absorbing the seed of Buddha Guai's power.

This energy has transformed into the shape of two yin-yang fish, resembling the Tai Chi symbol, swirling like mist within the Nascent Soul's body.

Within his mind, the Primordial Spirit Power, after absorbing the seed of Buddha Guai power, had grown by about two times, completely surpassing that of ordinary cultivators of the same realm.

At this moment, Chen Dengming remained calm and composed. His Nascent Soul continued to absorb Immortal Spiritual Energy, rapidly increasing his cultivation level. He was neither arrogant nor impatient, and with a transcendent State of Mind, he controlled his rapidly growing cultivation.

In his mind, he reviewed his various experiences after his transmigration, turning page after page of past events, all of which became the accumulated experience and foundation of the years.

He, Chen Dengming, struggled through the mortal world, experiencing all sorts of deceit and treachery, and fought his way through the Martial World until finally succeeding in ascending to immortality. This is the story of cultivating immortality in one's later years.

In the Cultivation World, he experienced the hardships and betrayals of his time as Rogue Cultivator, the difficulties and betrayals of joining Immortal Sect, and the joy of finding dao companion and achieving fame and success. He was a late bloomer.

On the Battlefield, he experienced countless battles, large and small, across the four domains and four seas. He went from Foundation Establishment Reverse Kill Golden Core, from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, fought Ghost Lord and Demon Kings, and became renowned both within and outside the Inner Domain. He became the ancestor of a sect.

In the future, he will also inherit the legacy of the First Ancestor Longevity Dao Lord, and transform into the heavens to protect the world.

He is capable of bearing all the responsibilities he has achieved, and these achievements will not break him.

In the end, amidst the surging tide of memories, a sliver of Chen Dengming's wit emerged from the vast ocean of past events.

His mind was crystal clear, and his Law Power was profound and powerful.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

His Nascent Soul's body outside his body flickered violently with magnetic light, and a light shield composed of more than 36,000 faint lights appeared, which was like more than 36,000 tiny mouths, continuing to absorb the rich immortal Immortal Spiritual Energy around him.

The divine mechanism is perfected and its power is achieved naturally.

The Nascent Soul Perfection stage has finally been reached, and a breakthrough is now in sight.

"The time has come!"

Chen Dengming's eyes shone brightly, his Primordial Spirit was abundant, and Nascent Soul nascent soul sat cross-legged in the air, making a hand seal and pointing resolutely.

Whoosh--

The Longevity Jade Seal traced a beautiful arc, flying directly out of the Heavenly Longevity Hall and landing in the Phoenix Dao Fire outside.

This incomparably hard Dao Stone, imbued with the Immortal Celestial Dao Power and impervious to wear even after countless ages, can only be transformed by the Heavenly Dao Thunder, which is full of destruction and Life Force, and the Phoenix Dao Fire, thus giving it Life Force amidst destruction.

Boom--

Almost the instant the Longevity Jade Seal fell into the Phoenix Dao Fire outside the palace, the entire seal seemed to be ignited, emitting a brilliant light, and soon its surface was covered with marks resembling candle tears.

At the same time, Chen Dengming's Law Power to control the Longevity Jade Seal was instantly incinerated by the Phoenix Dao Fire, causing him to lose control of the Longevity Jade Seal.

The Longevity Jade Seal was about to fall.

Chen Dengming's Nascent Soul eyes shone with a bright blue light, containing a strong heavenly might. His mind was connected with the Heaven's Will. In the instant that the crazy will of Heavenly Dao swept over him like a raging storm, he forcibly mobilized the Heaven's Will.

My will is the Heaven's Will, Heaven's Will is in accordance with my will.

"Thunder!!!"

Chen Dengming's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he let out a low shout.

Boom--!

The Heavenly Dao's will, frantically closing in, manifested as streaks of scarlet lightning, as if controlled by an invisible hand. They flashed intensely in Chen Dengming's cold eyes, crashing heavily against the Longevity Jade Seal that was about to fall.

"Boom--"

A thunderous roar shook the heavens.

Hundreds of scarlet lightning bolts struck, erupting into a massive ball of fire and lightning that seemed to shatter the void, so intense it was blinding, like a golden lotus blooming in the flames.

The Longevity Jade Seal, which had remained intact for millennia, instantly shattered into countless dust particles.

But before the countless dust particles could disperse, streaks of crimson lightning, like wild horses, came galloping in with overwhelming force, one after another, gathering the dust particles back together and reshaping them in the Thunder Fire.

In that instant, it was as if countless thunderbolts were hammering wildly at the Phoenix Dao Fire, gradually carving the Dao Stone into a blurry human figure from the dust it had turned into.

This can be described as destruction before construction, and being placed in a life-or-death situation before being reborn.

This is truly a case of "golden lotuses growing in fire, and mischievous monkeys leaping from stones."

Chen Dengming's eyes gleamed as if spitting out dazzling divine swords. His Mental Strength was severely depleted, and he did his best to mobilize the Heavenly Thunder Hammer generated by the frenzied Heavenly Dao will to condense his Dao body.

He is not of the Heaven's Mandate Lineage, but at this moment, he uses his will to command the Heaven's Will, transforming the Heaven's Will into heavenly thunder and controlling the heavenly thunder, as if he were exercising the power of thunder punishment of the Heaven's Mandate Lineage.

His will was fiercely challenged by the mad will of Heavenly Dao during this process, like a gladiator riding a mad bull, who would fall to the ground and be shattered if he was not careful.

This time, he was not only forging his Dao body, but also using the Heavenly Dao Power to temper his will, so that his newly increased Primordial Spirit Power would quickly become pure, his body stronger, and his will more resolute.

If he can successfully condense a Dao body, his understanding of the Heavenly Immortal Way will also be greatly enhanced.

The process of forging the Dao body amidst such lightning strikes and flickering Dao fire was incredibly powerful.

Gradually, a clear and perfect human figure appeared in the fire, shining brightly, and even seemed to possess Life Force. It was not destroyed by the Heavenly Thunder Dao Fire, but was New Life and gave birth to life force.

"The Heavenly Thunder Dao Fire have given it Life Force; the first step is complete!"

Chen Dengming Mental Strength already feeling exhausted, but at this moment he was exceptionally invigorated.

He quickly raised his hand and summoned Heart Mending Pill from his Storage Bag, which transformed into liquid and merged into his Nascent Soul to replenish his depleted Mental Strength.

At the same time, he waved his hand and pushed, and a large amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy surged out of the portal like clouds and mist, flowing towards the Dao body in the Phoenix Dao Fire.

The second step is to imbue it with the Immortal Spiritual Energy.

As the Immortal Spiritual Energy surged into the vibrant Dao body, clear energy channels immediately appeared within its transparent and luminous form, with a rich and powerful aura of Immortal Celestial Dao Power flowing through them.
