Time Farmer! Seas Change! Life and Death Cycle Technique

As the Nether Beast Senluo expressed its willingness to submit, Chen Dengming immediately suppressed his mental exhaustion and made Senluo swear an oath based on its own principles.

He only needs the beast to agree to serve him for a hundred years, after which he can regain his freedom.

For Senluo, a century is but the time it takes to take a nap.

Driven by Chen Dengming, the fact that this calamity could be resolved in such a short time (a century) demonstrates Senluo's wisdom; he naturally knows how to make a wise judgment.

Once Senro has sworn an oath according to his own principles, this mission will be considered a great success.

Chen Dengming put away the Heavenly Net, instructed Senluo to stay where he was for the time being, and then gathered with Dongfang Huayuan and the Five Elements Dao Lord.

"Now that Senluo has been subdued, we can enter the Below the Yin Spring at any time to kill him as a warning to others."

With a natural-born Netherworld beast like Senluo as our mount, we essentially possess a pass to the Underworld. The Non-Self- human environment Below the Yin Spring won't pose too much of a threat to us.

Dongfang Huayuan Chen Dengming up and down with surprise in his eyes, then suddenly grinned and said, "You kid, you've really become amazing now. That technique that just condensed such a terrifying Dharma image, was it you who created it?"

"Not bad, it's a new creation, and the first time it's been truly used in this way, but I didn't expect the consumption to be so great."

Chen Dengming rubbed his throbbing temples, shook his head and smiled wryly, "The situation was tense just now, and I couldn't control myself. I hope I didn't hurt you?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Dongfang Huayuan's eyes. He wondered if Chen Dengming had really lost control, but being the prideful person he was, he naturally kept a carefree smile on his face.

"No, I was just hit by the aftershocks. How could I be injured so easily?"

As he said this, his hand, which had been holding the gun, unconsciously moved behind his back, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

The Five Elements Dao Lord caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, but pretended not to see it, and said with a smile, "Since this trip has gone so smoothly, Fellow Daoist Chen, when do you plan for us to enter the Below the Yin Spring?"

The plan was orchestrated by Chen Dengming, a fact that has gained public approval.

Because Qu Shenzong was also standing behind Chen Dengming.

Secondly, the Celestial Immortals' ability to predict the Heaven's Will and good or bad fortune is indeed suitable for planning, and no one has any objection to Chen Dengming's strength.

Chen Dengming nodded and said, "Although it's urgent, I still need to make some preparations. If all goes well, it will probably take about two more years."

Two years is not a long time, and Chen Dengming must have had his reasons for making this arrangement.

The Five Elements Dao Lord and Dongfang Huayuan immediately agreed.

Immediately, the three quickly took action to deal with the damaged celestial phenomena and natural environment in the vicinity, and then left.

At the same time.

New Realm frontiers beyond.

With the fall of the Outer Realm Devil Venerable and Qing Mingzi, two Dao Integration Great Power, the Devilish Cultivator Star was plunged into a state of infighting and resource redistribution, resulting in widespread suffering and devastation.

This day.

A streak of phoenix-tail light flew through the starry sky, rapidly approaching and appearing above the Devilish Cultivator Star.

Amidst the flames, a slender, tall woman clad in fiery red armor hovered, looking down below.

A voice from the heart gently drifted in, entering the woman's soul.

"Huang Yun! You have been reborn from the ashes, your mind has been stabilized, and you have turned misfortune into blessing. I have also infused you with the blood of the Phoenix Dao. Now that you have successfully stepped into the Spirit Transformation, take flight again from where you failed."

"This star is filled with evil. You must unleash the fire of purification to burn away all the evil on this star, and then refine the star's core. Only then can you achieve the Great Dao."

"I have a premonition that in a few years, an unparalleled person will emerge from the Ancient Realm. If you can subdue that person while you are here, that will be the time when you achieve complete perfection in the Great Dao."

Within the fireworks, Huang Yun, her expression indifferent, replied, "Disciple will humbly obey Master's teachings!"

A glint of fire appeared in her eyes as she looked down at the devastation below, where Devil Cultivator cultivators were rampaging everywhere. Involuntarily, a white-haired figure vanished in the flames appeared in her mind.

With a swift movement, she transformed into a long, fiery Tail Fire and plunged into the Devilish Cultivator Star below.

After leaving the Southern Frontier, Chen Dengming did not return directly to the Longevity Sect, but instead relied on the Heavenly Longevity and Heavenly Fate Palaces to fly back to the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

In the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, it took him more than half a month to recover his depleted mental energy.

He then began to study the traces of time and the Heavenly Timing in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

To silently take the massive Senluo into the Below the Yin Spring and slay the Ghost Lord, we must rely on the power of the Shore Flower.

However, the Shore Flower had already been used by Chen Dengming when he was Heavenly Prison, and it has now withered.

This flower is so precious that it's rare to find another one.

It will take a hundred years for the Shore Flower lily to regain its Life Force.

Only the right Heavenly Timing can accelerate the ripening of these past hundred years.

Regarding how to utilize the Heavenly Timing, the volume containing the Daoist Dao Intent of the First Ancestor contains the most extensive and detailed records among the three volumes of Dao Intent on longevity.

When Chen Dengming was Heavenly Prison, he still found the text obscure and difficult to understand.

After comprehending the Jiazi for sixty years, the several avatars still only had a superficial understanding of the Dao Intent of Heavenly Longevity and did not know how to manipulate the Heavenly Timing.

Even now, Chen Dengming's understanding of the Dao of Heavenly Immortal Way has undergone a new leap with the establishment of the unity of Unity of Heaven and Man and the birth of the Heavenly Human Dao Rhyme.

Through this process of analogy, he gained many new understandings of the Dao Intent Longevity.

"The so-called 'Heavenly Timing' actually exists within the human body and has many similarities with human beings."

Chen Dengming sat cross-legged in the middle of the broken world of heaven and earth, feeling the big world from the outside, looking inside his own small world, and carefully observing the traces of time around him.

Time flows like a river, every moment, every second, passing by rapidly. To try and control time is easier said than done.

But as time goes by, it leaves its mark on both the world and on people.

Through these traces, one can observe time, and even control time with the Immortal Celestial Dao Power.

To control time within oneself, one must take control of one's own body.

In pursuit of longevity, ordinary people imitate the habits of many wild animals to create martial arts, practice diligently, and keep their internal organs young, their bone age younger than that of their peers, and their lifespan longer. Could this be considered as controlling the aging process of their own bodies, thus gaining a few more years of life from heaven?

Cultivators are even more like those who consume qi and whose spirits are immortal, constantly pursuing a 'delayed' journey of cultivation and longevity.

"By controlling and cultivating oneself, one can control the lifespan of one's body; this is the cultivation of one's inner world."

If a person can control and cultivate the external world, then they can also control the Heavenly Timing.

Based on the First Ancestor's theory of Heavenly Timing, Chen Dengming gradually developed his own understanding of Heavenly Timing.

He completely broke free from his own Heavenly Human Dao.

By looking at the internal universe within a person, we can find commonalities with the external universe, which is like learning from others' experiences to improve ourselves.

Chen Dengming slowly raised his head, looked up at the Sky Dome, and felt the omnipresent traces of time in the world around him.

He slowly closed his eyes again, listening to the whisper of the wind, the gentle sway of the clouds, the pulse of the earth, and the sound of this Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm collapsing and dying.

He was looking for the pattern he was looking for.

"Humans have 366 small joints, so there are 366 days in a year."

Humans have 12 major joints, therefore there are 12 months in a year.

The five internal organs correspond to the five elements, and the four limbs correspond to the four seasons. The head is like the sky, and the body is like the earth.

Time flows by, the sun rises and sets.

A day has passed.

Chen Dengming viewed the outer world as a giant human body, and quickly identified 'his' first key element—a day!

One small joint per day.

A major milestone every month.

A complete limb in March.

The five elements cycle in turn, which are the five internal organs of the heavens.

The sky is like a dome, the head of heaven and earth.

The land is covered with rolling mountains, flowing rivers, and vast plains, forming the body of heaven and earth.

One year later.

Chen Dengming slowly opened his eyes, his gaze bright, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

He has grasped one of the Dao Intent recorded by the First Patriarch: the concept of Heavenly Longevity. Moreover, he has grasped it based on the First Patriarch's understanding and through his own perspective on the relationship Celestial Person.

At this moment, the outer world, in his eyes, was also a giant 'human body' that he could control and cultivate, capable of altering the Heavenly Timing.

"Manipulating time in the entire outer world is very difficult, but simulating a small world and controlling time within that small world is not difficult."

"Having comprehended this method today, I will name it the Heavenly Human Time Method."

Chen Dengming stood up and took out the Shore Flower from his Storage Bag.

As he made hand seals and cast spells, the Immortal Celestial Dao Power rapidly spread outwards, locking onto the traces of time in the surrounding area.

The many traces of time immediately fell into a state of stillness.

Subsequently, Chen Dengming absorbed a large amount of Immortal Spiritual Energy and poured it into this small, almost still environment marked by the passage of time, acting as a medium to stabilize this small piece of heaven and earth.

He withdrew from this small world and began to use his Immortal Celestial Dao Power to slowly shrink its area.

When the area shrinks to the size of only the Shore Flower, the traces of time and the Immortal Spiritual Energy become extremely rich.

At this moment, Chen Dengming controlled the traces of time, and in accordance with the changes of time in the outside world, began to guide the aura of the traces of time into the small world.

The atmosphere of time within this small world suddenly became extremely rich, and the flow of time accelerated along with the flow of time in the greater world. The Shore Flower quickly showed obvious signs of activity.

One day later.

The traces of time within the small space have almost completely disappeared; a year has already passed inside.

As a new day dawned, Chen Dengming changed locations and repeated the process, restraining the time changes of the great world for one day, while inducing a time change of 366 days within the small world constructed by Technique Method.

This process sounds complicated and mysterious, but it can be put simply.

Chen Dengming had already created a small world with a head, body, internal organs, and joints; all that was missing was the time and energy to make this small world vibrant.

After he poured the time and Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Great World into the Small World, a whole year in this Small World was quickly filled by a single day in the Great World.

The vastness of the universe in a single day.

After filling the small space, it takes exactly one whole year.

Therefore, Chen Dengming used the Heavenly Human Time Method, transforming himself into a 'time farmer' who ruthlessly irrigates time.

Water the days, reap the fruits of time!

Day after day, they cultivate new small farmlands, then channel water from the larger farmlands to irrigate these smaller ones.

After a hundred days of this,

The Shore Flower in the Time Farm have finally New Life.

Chen Dengming's understanding of the Heavenly Human Time Method, including his understanding of the state of unity Unity of Heaven and Man, has also deepened considerably.

"The world changes like the sea turning into mulberry fields; the world is a sea of suffering, and heaven and earth are like a field, and I am the farmer who irrigates that field with time."

As Chen Dengming slowly raised his eyes, an aura of time flowed around him.

At this moment, his understanding of the Heavenly Human Dao Art took a big step forward.

His magical Law Power began to surge, and he had already been close to the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation when he comprehended the Heavenly Human Dao Rhyme. Now, he had completely broken through and was still increasing rapidly.

Chen Dengming put away the Shore Flower, took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the five-colored spiritual light.

When they reappeared the next moment, they were in a dangerous place filled with cliffs and precipices.

The cliffs here are steep and precipitous, as if cleaved by a knife or axe, with dangerous rocks everywhere, seemingly about to collapse at any moment. It is a place filled with Sha Qi.

Here, Chen Dengming sensed the presence of the old corpse of Lou Zhen, the former patriarch of the Iron Armor Sect Lou Zhen.

However, this aura was filled with a sense of decay.

A glint of blue light flashed in his eyes, and he saw clearly that there was indeed an old corpse in the soil below.

However, the old corpse showed no trace of time or life force whatsoever.

Lou Zhen, this old corpse, wanted to bury himself in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and live a second spring, but in the end, he could not defy fate and died completely.

Chen Dengming withdrew his gaze, and the phantom images of the Heavenly Longevity Hall and the Heavenly Destiny Hall appeared in his eyes. His figure quickly disappeared in a burst of Cyan Light.

The southernmost part of the Southern Regions, the Southern Frontier.

Chen Dengming returned to this place and flew over the enormous shape of Senluo.

"Ao--"

Senluo sensed Chen Dengming's presence and awoke from his brief slumber. His eyes, like two enormous crimson lakes, gazed at the sky, reflecting a drifting Shore Flower.

Chen Dengming patted the Soul House on his chest, "Ling'er, it's all up to you now."

"Yes, fellow Daoist!"

Soul House, the Little Array Spirit array activated its ghostly energy, forming hand seals to cast a spell.

Starfall Old Ghost had already taught the Little Array Spirit Technique Method to activate the Shore Flower.

At this moment, as the Little Array Spirit cast its spell, the roots and stems of the Shore Flower rapidly extended and lengthened, the green leaves fell off, and red flowers resembling dragon claws quickly grew out.

The red flowers seemed to tear through the void, giving birth to countless fine cracks.

Soon its roots connected to Senluo's enormous body, while its dragon claw-like petals flew to Chen Dengming's brow.

The next instant.

A tearing pain arose from Chen Dengming's brow and his inner world.

Senluo's incomparably enormous and boundless body also vanished suddenly.

Only a faint black mist remained where it had been, slowly dissipating as Senra vanished.

Chen Dengming floated in mid-air, pale golden blood flowing from between his brows. He closed his eyes and sensed the world of his mind.

Suddenly, a root resembling a vortex pierced into his mind's world, and then the vortex within the root released a vast expanse of black mist.

The next moment.

A colossal, boundless monster, like a vast black ocean, appeared in his mind's world.

Only the world within the heart can so easily contain such a colossal being as the universe.

Feeling the real presence of Senluo within his body, Chen Dengming breathed a sigh of relief.

With the help of the Shore Flower, it was finally accomplished.

Upon entering his inner world, Senluo even showed joy at the boundless expanse of the environment.

This was unexpected by Chen Dengming.

However, since this beast enjoys staying in his mental world, that's a good thing.

With this beast residing in his mental world, as long as the beast does not resist, he can mobilize some of its power at any time. At least after entering the Below the Yin Spring, he can protect some fellow Daoists from harm.

Chen Dengming opened his eyes and looked at the Shore Flower in front of him, which had completely withered and turned to ashes, slowly dissipating. A trace of regret appeared in his eyes.

This flower is so precious; has it finally become completely unable to grow on its own?

In the vast River Styx Below the Yin Spring, it is very difficult to find even this small Shore Flower.

Suddenly, Chen Dengming had a sudden inspiration and quickly entered a state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

The next instant, a powerful and heavy pressure emanated from his body.

The Nine Stars Heavenly Dao Star Chart spun out from behind his head, and the Eight Gates behind him manifested a unique humanistic aura.

Among the nine stars, Tianqin Star and Tianbing Star shine brightly together.

Chen Dengming's face shone like white crystal under the starlight.

Behind him, among the eight gates, the Life and Death Gates Life and Death Dao Rhyme, along with the Life and Death Qi transformed from the Immortal Celestial Dao Power immortals, surged together toward the ashes of the Shore Flower.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The ashes of the Shore Flower lily churned rapidly in the Life and Death Qi, gradually transforming Death Qi into Life Energy, Life Energy condensed into a red and green seed within the ashes.

"The Life and Death Cycle. Life Force is born from death. After the Shore Flower turns to ash, its ashes fall to the ground and become spring mud to nourish the flowers?"

A look of understanding appeared in Chen Dengming's eyes. He reached out and caught the red and green Shore Flower seeds. A few ashes peeled off from the seeds along with the Death Qi, symbolizing New Life.

A smile appeared in his eyes, and his understanding of life and death had deepened considerably.

The method of bringing someone back to life that just now can also be considered a magic technique.

"Let's call this technique the Life and Death Cycle Technique. Death Qi can be transformed into Life Energy, and Life Energy can be transformed into Death Qi. It can even deprive someone of their Life Force and forcibly reverse it into Death Qi."

Chen Dengming put away the seeds of the Shore Flower lily.

Even with this tiny flower seed, there is still some hope, better than being completely reduced to ashes.

Perhaps it takes a thousand years for the flower seed to mature into a mature Shore Flower.

However, for him, who had already mastered the Heavenly Human Time Method, this was not a difficult problem to solve. The only concern was that it would consume too much of the Immortal Spiritual Energy of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Leaving behind a completely empty plain devoid of Senluo's massive body, Chen Dengming turned and left.

Now, we can gather everyone and head to the Below the Yin Spring to completely resolve the ghost problem and, incidentally, find out about the Ghost Emperor's decree.

"Senior Qu has been chasing after Lan Ke Mountain for over a year. I wonder if he has found that Qing Mingzi from beyond the realm?"

The Unseen, Chen Dengming always had a feeling that Qing Mingzi, who could evade his divine calculations and the pursuit of Qu Shenzong, might become a major threat at some point in the future.

Unfortunately, Qing Mingzi was Dao Integration Great Power who had entered the body of another being. Even though he was now unable to escape, his Divine Ability abilities were beyond imagination, and he was also familiar with the methods of the Heavenly Dao.

While the First Ancestor might be able to use divination to find this person's whereabouts, Chen Dengming and Qu Shenzong were both powerless to do so.
