Might of Spirit Transmutation! Blade Forest Tomb

A cycle of Jiazi is not a long time. For Nascent Soul True Lord, it is merely a period of seclusion. But it is not short either. For Qi Refining or even Foundation Establishment cultivators, a cycle of Jiazi is enough for them to do many things, to struggle and fight, or to fall and get back up many times.

For the vast majority of cultivators in the Cultivation World, the war of invasion by Outer Realm Devil Venerable that once occurred in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm seems to have passed a long time ago, becoming a legend occasionally mentioned by elders, whose full picture and truth are unknown.

After all, the war that took place in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm was only participated in by a small number of powerful cultivators and was not well known to the general public.

In comparison, the counterattack war that took place over a hundred years ago in the Four Seas Four Regions is more memorable. Many of the cultivators who participated in that war have now become sects and ancestors.

When people talk about the events of that era, they speak with great enthusiasm, and when mentioning some of the most glorious figures on the Battlefield, it is hard to avoid mentioning the Longevity Dao Lord of the Longevity Sect and the Fighting Longevity Lord.

"Does the Longevity Sect really have such powerful figures? I do believe in the deeds of the Longevity Dao Lord, the Spirit Transformation senior. It is said that he was one of the leaders of the four regions at that time."

But that Senior Chen, the Fighting Longevity Lord, was actually able to reverse the process and slay Nascent Soul at the Golden Core Realm? And not just one or two. This..."

In a spacious and luxurious restaurant with high foundations and double eaves in a Marketplace, a cultivator heard rumors about a prominent figure in the Longevity Sect and couldn't help but frown and ask a question.

Upon hearing this, everyone else in the restaurant turned their gaze to an elderly man with long eyebrows sitting at the wide table in front of them, and some bowed to show their respect.

This long-browed old man was a veteran who had been through the Battlefield in the past. Now he ran this restaurant. He was easygoing and popular with all kinds of people. Many cultivators who came to this Marketplace liked to stop here and listen to the old man talk about the war in the past.

The old man with long eyebrows was not annoyed when he heard someone questioning him.

He has recounted these kinds of stories countless times, and they have been questioned by countless people.

After all, it happened a hundred years ago, and it was such an outrageous thing as a Golden Core Nascent Soul slaying a Nascent Soul cultivator. No matter how convincingly he told the story, most of these younger generations didn't believe him.

In the world, the majority of people are mediocre, and truly exceptional Heavenly Pride are few and far between.

Most people believe that if even their more accomplished admirers can't do it, then no one else could possibly do it.

However, the long-browed old man had personally witnessed many of the deeds of that Fighting Longevity Lord. Although he had never seen him in person, he had lived through that chaotic era and naturally knew the truth of the matter.

"Young man, there are many people like you who question the Fighting Longevity Lord, but you should know that Nascent Soul True Lord who have titles rarely bestow their titles upon themselves."

The long-browed elder smiled calmly, "The title of 'Fighting Longevity Lord' was bestowed upon this Senior Chen by all the Nascent Soul True Lord of the Four Seas Four Regions. Even the enemy cultivators from beyond the domain at that time were terrified of this title."

"That's how they always exaggerate; after all, it happened a hundred years ago, so who can know if it's true or not?"

I have heard that when Senior Fighting Longevity Lord was in the Golden Core Late Stage, he killed a Nascent Soul from beyond the realm with the help of another ancestor from the Moon Reflection Sect. As for the other Nascent Soul from beyond the realm who came after him, they probably also received some external assistance.

Just then, a discordant voice came from downstairs.

A slight commotion arose among the crowd as they all looked towards the stairwell, where they saw a woman with snow-white skin, a slender figure, and long, beautiful legs ascending the stairs, surrounded by several people.

She had phoenix eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows, a straight nose, and a stubborn and competitive look between her brows. However, her stunning beauty and proud, aloof temperament made all men feel inferior and unrealistically covetous.

"This is... this is Ju Shiqin, the current Saintess of the Bright Light Sect."

"I didn't expect it to be her. She suddenly came here. Could it be that the Bright Light Sect and the Longevity Sect have some new exchanges?"

"I heard that Bright Light Sect had a dispute with the Longevity Sect over the distribution of the message area more than ten years ago. Although it was eventually quelled, a rift remained."

"Noisy!"

The stunningly beautiful Ju Shiqin swept her gaze across the room with a cold, electric light.

Immediately, two screams came from the mouths of two cultivators who were secretly exchanging words in the corner of the restaurant. Both of them trembled like chaff, spitting blood as they collapsed to the ground.

The long-browed old man's expression changed slightly. He immediately stood up, bowed, and said with a smile, "Senior Ju, please calm down! I am merely recounting what I saw and heard back then. If there are any errors or omissions, please take it with a grain of salt. Please do not implicate these guests."

Ju Shiqin smiled coldly, then her expression softened suddenly. She stared at the old man with long eyebrows and said, "You're quite the righteous manager. You dare to speak to me like this for these guests. You're a kind-hearted person."

However, if what you said back then was wrong, then you deceived everyone, and you should be punished for your mistakes!

When he spoke the last word, "punishment," his tone was extremely gentle, yet it struck the heart of the long-browed old man like thunder.

The old man with long eyebrows trembled violently, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and the blood splattered on his white beard, resembling specks of plum blossoms.

"Uncle Jiang--"

A shop assistant who Qi Refining Stage exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to help him up.

Inside the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, within the Immortal King's Mansion.

After sitting in the Heavenly Fortune Hall for ten days, Chen Dengming recovered his depleted Mental Strength and physical strength, and then tried to comprehend the Dao Intent Heavenly Fortune Hall.

Prior to this, he had also come into contact with the Heavenly Blessing Qi, and was able to easily transform the Heavenly Fortune Qi with the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, thereby improving his luck in the short term and bringing good fortune while avoiding misfortune.

However, that kind of improvement is short-lived and the effect is not very obvious.

Ultimately, it's because he only had access to the basics.

Good fortune is elusive and hard to grasp; it can only be encountered by chance.

On the path of Tianfu, both the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng and Qu Shenzong walked ahead of him.

In particular, the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng could directly pinpoint the location of the Heavenly Fortune Hall, and even mobilize its power to combine the strength of the three palaces to fight against the Heavenly Fortune Hall -Merging Demon Lord.

It's no wonder that someone as proud and arrogant as Qu Shenzong spoke highly of the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng, stating that if anyone in the Four Seas Four Regions could break through to the Dao Integration stage, it would have to be the First Ancestor.

Now that the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng has perished, the Heavenly Fortune Hall, located deep within the Immortal King's Mansion, is temporarily unmovable.

Chen Dengming spent seven days meditating in the Heavenly Fortune Hall, and finally, relying on the power of divination granted by the Heavenly Heart Open Door in the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, he found some possibilities and clues.

After noting down these details, he turned and left without lingering.

Comprehending the Tianfu lineage and taking control of the Heavenly Fortune Hall is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it may take several Jiazi of sixty years or even more than ten Jiazi of sixty years.

Although for Chen Dengming now, spending more than a dozen Jiazi of sixty years to comprehend the Heavenly Fortune Hall is nothing.

However, many fellow practitioners and relatives may not live that long.

He was powerless to help his fellow Daoists and relatives live long and prolong their lives, but he should at least do his Mental Strength or see them off on their final journey.

Cultivating the mind and spirit, embracing the spirit of Xianxia and Immortal Intent – these are the original aspirations that Chen Dengming has never wanted to lose since coming to this Cultivation World.

Others cultivate immortality simply to Eternal Longevity and pursue the ultimate meaning of life, for which they are willing to sacrifice a lot, and there is nothing wrong with that.

He cultivates immortality, also seeking Eternal Longevity. But in addition to that, he also cultivates his mind, pursuing more emotional richness and comfort. He never wanted to cultivate to the end, sacrificing too much and becoming a four-dimensional being devoid of emotion and extremely selfish. That would mean losing his original self, and no matter how strong he became, it would be very pathetic.

At this moment, he quickly flew out of the Immortal King's Mansion and appeared on a vast, scorched, yellowish-brown Gobi Desert.

Looking around, all around was desolate and barren.

This place was burned to magma by the Phoenix Dao Fire in the past and has become scorched earth. Even now, after Jiazi, it is difficult to restore it to its former state.

Twenty years ago, Su Yan Yan, Qiao Zhaoxian, and the last remaining people in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm had already left.

Currently, within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, there may only be two and a half living beings.

One of them was Phoenix Cry Dao Child, who was trapped in the perilous place.

The other person was Chen Dengming himself.

The other half is the old corpse Lou Zhen, who buried himself in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The reason it is said to be half is because this old corpse was nearing its end, so it buried itself in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, hoping to take advantage of the feng shui of the High Antiquity Heavenly Immortal Realm to force a breakthrough again, extend its lifespan and live a second spring.

Now, Jiazi have passed. If the old corpse of Lou Zhen had not succeeded, it should have turned to ashes by now.

"Speaking of which, there are a few spirits, but why have they disappeared without a trace when I came out?"

Chen Dengming's heart stirred, and his eyes focused a Cyan Light, projecting it far like the aurora borealis.

After activating the Eye of the Heavens, his vision rapidly expanded and widened.

In an instant, everything within tens of thousands of miles came into his field of vision.

He quickly located the position of Giant Deer.

What I saw was a landscape of undulating mountains, lush ancient forests, and clear streams, like a masterpiece of nature.

The giant deer transformed into the form of a muscular deer, listlessly lying down to rest by the stream under a tree.

On the other side, amidst the overlapping and shrouded peaks, stands an ancient and majestic mountain with rugged rocks, where Little Array Spirit is sitting cross-legged in a cave, cultivating.

Below, amidst the clouds and mist, lies a valley of stone forests that resembles frozen waves, like a row of shimmering, gleaming sword-like peaks.

Xingluo the Old Ghost Luo was lingering outside the stone forest valley, not daring to enter rashly.

With the help of the Eye of the Heavens, Chen Dengming could vaguely see a figure trapped deep in the stone forest valley.

"This must be that forbidden land. It truly is a place where every stone is ancient, every tree is old, and every cave is secluded."

Chen Dengming pondered for a moment, then stepped forward with his hands behind his back.

The figure instantly dissipated, turning into a wisp of Spiritual Qi and vanishing.

The next instant, thousands of miles away, a ripple was born from the Spiritual Qi in the air.

Driven by the rich Immortal Celestial Dao Power Spiritual Qi seemed to shift and change like wind and clouds. The Spiritual Qi gathered into a tide, like a bright and dazzling ribbon, spreading across most of the sky, and then quickly coalesced into a human-shaped outline.

Chen Dengming's figure emerged gracefully from the ripples of Spiritual Qi. Five-colored Spiritual Qi surrounded him, incredibly approachable, and gathered into a five-colored skirt, which he wore on his layered Dao body.

This astonishing Technique Method, resembling a great teleportation, is actually Qi Escape Technique used by cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage to transform the mundane into the miraculous.

An ordinary Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord cultivator using Qi Escape Technique naturally wouldn't have the astonishing effect of Chen Dengming, who could instantly teleport thousands of miles away.

However, Chen Dengming's use of the Eye of the Heavens allows him to observe things tens of thousands of miles away in an instant.

Then, relying on the Heavenly Immortal Dao Domain's control over the Sky Dome, controlling a region's Spiritual Qi as if establishing fixed coordinates, it wouldn't be difficult to achieve a teleportation-like escape technique that allows one to travel thousands of miles with their qi.

The giant deer under the tree, the old ghost in the mountain, and the spirit of the cave formation below all sensed something at this moment. Their expressions varied, and they all quickly sent out their Divine Sense to sense the figure that had appeared out of thin air.

"Fellow Daoist!"

Little Array Spirit's pretty face lit up with surprise, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She swiftly soared through the air, heading straight for Chen Dengming in the sky.

"Sect Leader Chen!" Starfall Old Ghost's heart skipped a beat, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that Chen Dengming is out; he can finally leave this awful place.

He was about to fly into the air to pay his respects when he suddenly sensed something was wrong from the spiritual aura emanating from Chen Dengming. He was stunned, and shock gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Transformation into Spirit Transformation"

His face twitched, and a storm of disbelief surged through his mind.

"How long has it been? Only sixty Jiazi have passed, and he has already reached the Spirit Transformation?"

Starfall Old Ghost looked dazed for a moment, his feelings incredibly complicated.

The Spirit Transformation was a realm he had longed for but could never reach. Now, Chen Dengming, a cultivator whose Strength Realm were once weaker than his, had already surpassed him.

At this moment, the giant deer also let out a cry, abandoning its usual lazy and roguish deer demeanor, and trotted into the air, transforming into Giant Deer Mage Robe. It carefully and obsequiously draped it over Chen Dengming's body with its two hooves, displaying an extremely ingratiating attitude.

It seemed that only Chen Dengming, who had reached the Spirit Transformation stage, could truly earn the respect of the rogue deer.

"Oh no, that beast beat us to it!"

Starfall Old Ghost pounded his chest and immediately flew over to greet him, smiling and bowing in congratulations.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader Chen Sect Leader Chen! Congratulations, Sect Leader Chen! You are truly extraordinary and exceptionally talented. To have reached the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm so quickly is something I admire to the core. I tremble with Ghost Soul!"

Chen Dengming chuckled and patted the much more pleasing-to-the-eye Giant Deer, then looked at Old Ghost Luo and said, "Old Ghost, I didn't expect you to be so good at flattery, but you know I've never liked that kind of thing."

Xingluo the Old Ghost Luo immediately bowed again and said righteously, "Sect Leader Chen is right to reprimand you. After all, you are an extraordinary person. This kind of flattery is simply an insult to your character. I, Xingluo, was presumptuous."

However, Xingluo's greatest respect in this life is for the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord. His respect for you comes from the bottom of his heart and is absolutely genuine!

"Alright, you've guarded this place all these years, which counts as merit. After we go back, I can let you return to the Below the Yin Spring."

Chen Dengming smiled. He didn't like hearing such flattery, but he couldn't deny that it was pleasing to the ear.

"Really?"

Starfall Old Ghost, trembled. Seeing Chen Dengming's gaze sweep over, he immediately bowed and prostrated himself before Chen could speak, saying, "Xingluo thanks Sect Leader Chen!"

Chen Dengming nodded slightly.

Now that he has broken through his limits, the Starfall Old Ghost is no longer as helpful to him, so keeping him by his side is not out of the question.

However, the value of returning the other party to the Below the Yin Spring is not as great as that of letting them go back to the underworld. It would be better to go with the flow and make a good connection.

Chen Dengming turned his gaze to the Little Array Spirit and saw that its Soul Power was abundant, and it was close to breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage. He felt gratified.

"Ling'er, if you break through another realm, you should be able to extend your lifespan by at least Jiazi. Now that I have become a Nascent Spirit Transformation, you should no longer refuse my offer of Nascent Soul Divine Soul as a tonic."

After saying that, he casually grabbed Storage Bag at the waist of his robe, and the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff flew out and floated towards the Little Array Spirit.

When the Little Array Spirit met Chen Dengming's gentle yet unquestionable gaze, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she hummed in agreement, raising her hand to take the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff.

Only then did Chen Dengming feel relieved, and his smile widened even more.

The Little Array Spirit was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage in life.

Now, more than a thousand years later, the threat of his Lifespan Limit has always loomed over him.

Chen Dengming had long wanted to resolve the issue for the Little Array Spirit, but the other party had consistently used the urgency of the war as an excuse to delay.

Now that he has become Spirit Transformation, the Nascent Soul Divine Soul of the Northern Yin Holy Mother, the Master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and others within the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff are no longer of much use to him, and the Little Array Spirit has finally accepted them.

Once the Little Array Spirit devours these Nascent Soul Divine Soul, its cultivation will inevitably break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

At that time, he would have surpassed the realm he was in life. Although it wouldn't have extended his lifespan by 180 years like when he was in the Nascent Soul stage, it would still have extended it by at least Jiazi.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Perfection, I'll have time to think of other solutions.

After the Little Array Spirit the formation accepted the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, Chen Dengming's figure floated towards the strange mountain below, which resembled a forest of swords and blades.

"Is this the forbidden land known as the Blade Forest Tomb?"

Chen Dengming looked down at the desolate land below, where the clouds and mist tumbled down like waterfalls or surged like a wide river. Peaks with jagged rocks and craggy cliffs, as if carved by a knife and axe, broke through the clouds and mist, majestic and awe-inspiring.

According to the map given to him by the First Ancestor, he knew that this place was once a Battlefield where gods and immortals fought, but it had now become a deadly place, Blade Forest Tomb.

Chen Dengming suddenly and deliberately released his aura, and an extremely oppressive spiritual power spread out, making people feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

Instantly, the sea of clouds below swirled wildly, like mountain winds whipping up waves, like the raging torrents of the ocean, rolling in from afar with a terrifying roar, lashing against the cliff tops and bending the trees low.

But in the next instant, an even stronger pressure pressed down, and the forest fell silent. The wind stopped, the leaves did not sway, and the light seemed to dim considerably.

A sharp aura emanated from the steep, dagger-like mountain peaks below, piercing the sky.

Beneath one of the mountain peaks, a ragged, bearded figure suddenly opened his bright, fiery eyes, looked up in surprise and doubt, and frowned.

"Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord? Whose aura is this?"
