The Difference in Dao Power! The Tribulation of Myriad Things! Decades Passed in the Blink of an Eye!

With his strength reaching Chen Dengming's level, there were almost no secrets in the Cultivation World that could deceive him, and he already had a clear understanding of Dao power.

The Dao power of things like the Dao power of the Dao Master, the Dao power of the Dao Venerable, and the Dao power of various immortal lineages are actually different.

But setting aside the differences in the Dao Intent, if we trace the origin of the Dao power, the essence of the power is actually the same; they are all the power that is closest to the origin of the Great Dao.

That primordial power is called Immortal Power.

The only difference is that the power of the Dao of Harmony is the power of the Dao at the initial stage of its formation, while the power of the Dao of the Dao Venerable is the power of the Dao at its perfect state.

Only when one's Dao power is perfected and reaches its ultimate sublimation and breakthrough can Immortal Power be born.

According to Qu Shenzong's description, Immortal Power is different from the Immortal Spiritual Energy of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm. Not only is it more refined, pure, and powerful, but every strand of Immortal Power also contains the power and will of the immortal path, which is even more exaggerated than the difference between cotton and steel.

Whether it's the Immortal Celestial Lineage Immortal Celestial Dao Power transmitted through the Hall of Inheritance of the Celestial Immortal Daoist Lineage or the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage Human Immortal Way Power through the Human Immortal Hall Lineage, both are Dao Power transformed from the immortal Immortal Power of the immortals of the past before their death or before they suffered great calamities.

When an immortal dies, their Immortal Power will gradually dissipate along with their will, making it difficult for them to exist and continue for long.

Therefore, before their death, immortals would refine the Inheritance Hall, imprint their own will and Dao Intent within it, and infuse it with their Immortal Power.

After their demise, this portion of Immortal Power may slowly degenerate into Dao power.

It's also possible that the immortal didn't die, but their realm dropped to the Dao Venerable realm, which is similar to the Heavenly Dao. In that case, the Immortal Power within the inheritance hall would automatically degenerate into Dao power.

This method of leaving behind a legacy is a good strategic move, whether it's to ensure the continuation of the lineage and the existence of successors, or to help immortals who have successfully escaped the great calamity and reincarnated to cultivate again, so that they can avoid detours by using the inheritance hall.

As for those who inherit the immortal path, they absorb and inherit the power of the Dao step by step, comprehend the Dao Intent until they reach perfection, and then slowly break through to condense Immortal Power and cultivate into immortals.

Whether one, like Chen Dengming, innovates upon this foundation and forges their own Heavenly Human Dao between humanity and nature, that is a matter of individual destiny, a matter of chance and fate, and no one can say for sure.

At this moment, facing the overwhelming Dao power within his body, Chen Dengming had two choices.

One method is to transform this Dao power into Immortal Celestial Dao Power or Human Immortal Way Power through the Inheritance Hall.

Secondly, one can utilize the Life and Death Dao Rhyme or the Heavenly Human Dao Rhyme to absorb these Daoist powers, just like the seeds of Buddha Guai Daoist power in the past. By using one power to strengthen another, one's own Daoist principles can grow rapidly, which will also lead to a surge in one's Law Power and an increase in cultivation.

Chen Dengming chose the latter.

He has already walked out of the Heavenly Human Dao, and in the future, when he merges with the Dao, he will be merging with his own Dao, so naturally he will want to strengthen the Heavenly Human Dao Rhyme.

"Although these two streams of Dao power are both ownerless, they are extremely abundant. It will take a considerable amount of time to fully absorb them, not to mention Qing Mingzi's Primordial Spirit Power..."

Chen Dengming used his internal vision to observe the two types of Dao energy within his body.

The Dao power belonging to Qing Mingzi is somewhat similar to the aura of Immortal Celestial Dao Power.

However, this aura is gradually fading and disappearing.

Because Qing Mingzi has already perished and his will no longer exists, the will belonging to the other party in his Dao power will also disappear, and the Dao power will gradually transform into the purest Dao power.

High Antiquity immortals relied on refining inheritance halls to condense their own thoughts on the Dao into Dao characters, cast them inside the hall, and then transfer Immortal Power into it in order to maintain the characteristics of their own power and prevent it from returning to its origin.

Dao Venerable and Dao Integration Great Power have merged with the Dao, below the level of Immortals, naturally cannot retain their power characteristics after their fall.

All power originates from the world and will ultimately return to the world.

At this moment, another, even deeper and more profound Dao power within Chen Dengming's body belonged to that mysterious Grandmaster, and was even more powerful than Qing Mingzi's Dao power.

Even in extremely small quantities, it still evokes a terrifying sense of overwhelming power and suppression.

However, the aura within its Dao power was also fading and disappearing.

Chen Dengming guessed that this wisp of Dao power had severed its connection with the mysterious Dao Venerable, was shattered by the Heaven's Will into a scattered state, and lost its Dao Intent.

However, to be on the safe side, he did not intend to absorb this wisp of Dao power directly. Instead, he would have the Human Heart Hall absorb this wisp of Dao power, and then the Human Heart Hall would convert it into Human Immortal Way Power for him to absorb.

His Heavenly Human Dao Rhyme can also be strengthened by absorbing the Immortal Celestial Dao Power and Human Immortal Way Power.

However, such repeated transformations inevitably lead to a loss of power, making it impossible to maximize benefits, but the advantage lies in safety.

Chen Dengming had not forgotten that the Qu Shenzong was searching for Qing Mingzi in order to use the stones from other mountains to polish jade, attempting to steal the Heavenly Dao of another realm and merge with the Dao.

The other party also desperately needs Qing Mingzi's Dao power.

He immediately communicated with Qu Shenzong telepathically, asking if he needed to absorb Qing Mingzi's Dao power.

The Dao power containing the aura of Qing Mingzi's Dao Intent is extremely complex and dangerous; it is someone else's Dao.

He won't absorb this aura until it dissipates.

But Qu Shenzong had other needs.

"To achieve enlightenment, I am willing to take the risk. This may be my only chance!"

Ultimately, Qu Shenzong expressed his willingness to take the risk and give it a try.

Recalling the scene behind the crack that Qing Mingzi had seen when he opened the Great Dao, Chen Dengming said solemnly, "Senior Qu, this Qing Mingzi has a close relationship with that mysterious Outer Dao Venerable. If you intend to steal his Dao, you must be especially careful of that Outer Dao Venerable."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. His Daoist Dao Intent is also gradually dissipating, and I've only scratched the surface. If anything goes wrong, I'll cut my losses decisively!"

Qu Shenzong responded solemnly.

Chen Dengming nodded slightly.

That's what he meant too, Qu Shenzong was clearly also very clear-headed and had his own judgment.

Immediately, he expended a significant amount of his Immortal Celestial Dao Power, actively forcing out a portion of the Dao power belonging to Qing Mingzi within his body to Qu Shenzong for absorption.

This attempt can only be made once.

After a while, the Dao Intent aspect of Qing Mingzi's Dao Power will completely dissipate.

At this moment, while waiting for the Dao power within his body to gradually dissipate, Chen Dengming's mind entered his riddled inner world to observe the immense Primordial Spirit Power suppressed by the Human God Hall.

This immense Primordial Spirit belonging to Qing Mingzi was truly powerful, resembling a vast ocean shrouded in golden mist.

Even now, having lost its will and become a lost treasure trove of primordial Primordial Spirit, it can still occasionally shake the ten-thousand-foot-tall Human God Hall.

Fortunately, Chen Dengming's inner world was infinitely vast, which enabled him to withstand this immense power of the Primordial Spirit.

At this moment, even though the Human God Hall is absorbing this Primordial Spirit power.

The power of this Primordial Spirit remains astonishingly strong.

Chen Dengming was also thrilled to witness this scene.

This is the primordial Primordial Spirit power of a Dao Integration Great Power, and it is completely pure and can be directly absorbed.

Even though he couldn't absorb it all, and there were losses during the power refinement process, absorbing just one-third of it would be enough to raise his Primordial Spirit power to the late or even peak stage of the Spirit Transformation, saving him countless years of hard work.

"It is truly a lucky coincidence to obtain such a powerful Primordial Spirit Power."

"If it weren't for the Human God Hall suppressing its god, the Human Heart Hall sealing its heart, the Heavenly Net trapping its soul, Heaven's Will destroying its will, it would have been impossible for such a vast Primordial Spirit power to remain... This is also thanks to everyone."

After his initial excitement, Chen Dengming calmed down.

It's already quite an achievement to kill a Dao Integration Realm expert, let alone retain the power they've cultivated over many years as a resource.

Normally, even if you kill a Spirit Transformation expert, if they resist fiercely before death, their Primordial Spirit will be completely destroyed, and you can't hold back at all.

Currently, his only confidence is that he can preserve the Nascent Soul Divine Soul power of Nascent Soul True Lord when he kills him.

Therefore, this vast Primordial Spirit Power is an incredibly rich resource, but it is everyone's achievement that it was left behind, and it should not be kept all by itself, otherwise it would be unfair to Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong.

Even if the two are broad-minded and won't say anything, just because others don't speak up doesn't mean Chen Dengming can refuse to give it to them.

"Even if I absorb only a small portion of this immense power, it will be difficult to refine it in a short time. It would probably take at least several decades to slowly refine it."

It seems we'll have to stay in this ghostly realm for a while.

Chen Dengming was making plans in his mind.

The Human God Hall was slowly absorbing this vast Primordial Spirit Power; Dongfang Huayuan's share, he didn't need to remind him.

His gaze fell upon Senro, who was wailing and churning in his mental world.

This Spirit Transmutation Nether Beast had previously clashed with Qing Mingzi's Primordial Spirit, and its Primordial Spirit suffered considerable damage. It had also contributed a great deal of effort; otherwise, Qing Mingzi's mental world would have collapsed immediately, followed by severe damage to its Primordial Spirit.

"Senluo, you just did a good job, so I won't treat you unfairly; I'll share some of the credit with you."

Chen Dengming's mind transformed into a large sword, and he separated a portion of the pure Primordial Spirit power, which was like a golden ocean, and sent it to Senluo.

This pure Primordial Spirit power descended like a golden river from the sky, sprinkling upon Senluo's massive body, instantly causing Senluo to let out a comfortable roar, his mind filled with gratitude.

"You deserve it!"

Chen Dengming smiled, then sent a telepathic message to Qu Shenzong, informing him of the allocation of this Primordial Spirit Power.

Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Qu Shenzong.

"I have already reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage, and my Primordial Spirit is perfected. Even if I absorb more of this Primordial Spirit Power, it will only be icing on the cake, and it still cannot solve the problem of achieving Dao integration."

You have already given me the Dao power that is most useful to me, so I don't need this Primordial Spirit Power.

You still have enormous room for growth in the Spirit Transmutation Stage, so you can have my share.

Chen Dengming was surprised. After offering some words of advice, he realized that Qu Shenzong was not being polite, so he had no choice but to accept the offer and began to absorb the powerful Primordial Spirit energy to strengthen his own Primordial Spirit.

The focus of the Spirit Transformation stage is on cultivating the spirit.

Law Power is relatively easier to cultivate, but the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit is quite difficult and mysterious, and even the slightest carelessness can trigger inner demons.

At this moment, Chen Dengming directly absorbed the pure Primordial Spirit Power left behind by the Dao Integration Great Power after his death, and his Primordial Spirit cultivation soared.

On the panel, the proficiency level of <Heavenly Human Dao Law> was also fluctuating and increasing rapidly.

At the same time.

Outside the territory.

In the chaos beyond the depths of space, a massive, irregular celestial body, resembling a star-shaped cloud within the chaos, underwent an astonishing transformation, as if the earth had collapsed and mountains had crumbled.

The light emanating from the entire celestial surface dimmed considerably, and tornado-like gales swept across the land. Many forests and vegetation that had previously nurtured Life Force began to wither and freeze, the climate became chaotic, and a scene resembling an apocalyptic mass extinction unfolded.

At the very center of this celestial body, there once stood a divine peak teeming with Life Force, but now Life Force has ceased, and the peak itself has begun to crack and collapse on a large scale.

Beneath the divine peak, a large number of the Qing Ming Sect cultivators screamed in disbelief, calling out the name of Qing Mingzi.

"No, how could this be? Ancestor, Ancestor!"

A powerful Spirit Transformation cultivator soared into the Sky Dome, his voice trembling. He could feel the faint Dao power within his body rapidly dissipating.

A tornado-like cloud, resembling a pillar of clouds, connects the sacred peak to the Sky Dome.

Above the Sky Dome, deep within the once mysterious and powerful clouds, a force imbued with Daoist power was rapidly dissipating.

This is the New Realm Dao Domain formed by Qing Mingzi's merging with the Dao, a prototype of his own Dao Domain.

This kind of Dao Domain is not like the Longevity Dao Domain, which is called a Dao Domain but is not actually a true Dao Domain. Instead, it is a true world formed by a Dao Integration Great Power using Dao power.

Although there aren't many species of living beings or cultivators in this Azure Netherworld Domain, its future should have been full of potential.

However, this Dao Domain has now collapsed due to the fall of Qing Mingzi. The resulting chain reaction is not only that the Qing Ming Sect will lose the direction guided by its Dao lineage, but also that the concentration of Spiritual Qi in this Dao Domain will gradually decline.

Although Qing Mingzi is neither an immortal nor Dao Venerable, he is merely Dao Integration Great Power.

However, the system of the Immortal Celestial Lineage that he stole in the past when he joined forces with the Demon Lord is very mature, and he has already condensed a Dao Domain with the help of the Vast Sky Dao Venerable, cultivating this Dao to its peak.

For the cultivators and living beings living within the Azure Netherworld Inner Domain, he is the heavens.

Now that Qing Mingzi has perished, it's like the sky has fallen; it's a catastrophic disaster.

Just as countless beings were gripped by fear, a figure of unparalleled dominance suddenly appeared in the Sky Dome above the Azure Netherworld Domain.

The moment this figure appeared, it exuded an aura of dominance over the universe and suppression of all heavens, as if all living beings in the world should bow down before this figure, even heaven and earth should bow down, and even dragons and phoenixes dare not claim to be noble.

The Qing Ming Sect Spirit Transformation from the Azure Nether Sect, who had just soared into the clouds, was instantly horrified, his mind going blank as he plummeted to the ground.

The figure slowly raised its hand, and from the depths of the clouds, a clear yet faint light rose from the layers of mist.

In a daze, a faint, radiant figure was pulled up from the light.

He screamed in terror, as if pleading for something.

Wisps of spiritual radiance emanated from this figure, quickly dissipating along with the aura within the Dao power.

In a short while, the figure faded into the distance, and the pleading grew louder and louder.

The figure with its outstretched hand slowly shook its head, as if letting out a sigh, allowing the figure in its palm to completely vanish without a trace.

He has lived through countless ages and has witnessed the birth and fall of many Dao Integration Great Power. He has even personally helped more than just Qing Mingzi.

Now that Qing Mingzi has perished, he feels as if a close disciple has died, but he has done everything he could. Qing Mingzi still lost his life in that Ancient Realm, which can only be said to be a calamity in his destiny, and he should accept it calmly.

Aside from a slight sense of regret and the impending farewell, he wouldn't experience much emotion because of this.

The passage of time has long since taken away many of his familiar friends and relatives, and many of his emotions have long since returned to complete tranquility.

Qing Mingzi, in fact, one of the people he was relatively close to over the past few thousand years, and that was all.

"Calamity, everything has its calamity. This is your calamity, and the Ancient Realm will once again face Eternal Great Tribulation."

The figure quickly disappeared, returning to the chaos deep within the universe, gradually departing.

Everything in the universe has its tribulations, and he too should have his.

But he became less and less afraid; he was no longer afraid, and even looked forward to it, because perhaps that would end his long period of confusion.

Time flies, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Within the realm of demons.

Since that catastrophe-like battle decades ago, the entire Ghost Realm seems to have become much quieter.

No more Ghost Lord or ghost kings clamored to gather their armies and invade the Human World.

The Nine Nether Ghost Lord, who narrowly escaped death, along with the Undying and Boundless Ghost Lord, were terrified.

Now, let alone the emergence of the Ghost Immortal Token, even if the Ghost Immortal Mansion were truly before them, the Ghost Lord probably wouldn't dare to plot their invasion of the Human World anymore.

After the scourge of ghosts disappeared from the Human World, the Cultivation World gradually returned to the state it had been before the war a hundred years ago.

At this moment, in a mountain hollow near the River Styx outside the Starfall Ghost City.

A sinister, Death Qi lingered in the air, and strange black and white flowers bloomed all over the mountains, creating an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

In the very center of this sea of black and white flowers, a simple thatched hut stands quietly on the riverbank.

Inside the thatched hut, a tall Daoist priest with black and white hair sat cross-legged.

He clasped his hands together in front of him, and a Black and White Life and Death Flower grew in his palms.

The convergence of Death Qi caused his white hair at the temples to turn even whiter.

But soon a phantom wheel spun behind it, and at the location corresponding to the spleen, black and white flowers like yin and yang fish spun, and the Death Qi was transformed into a lot of Life Energy, which flowed into the body.

This Daoist priest was none other than Chen Dengming, who had become famous Heavenly Human Dao Lord, the Longevity Four Seas Four Regions's Longevity Sect Spirit Transformation Ancestor.

After recovering from his injuries decades ago, Chen Dengming expressed his gratitude to the Dao Your Majesty who participated in the extermination plan.

The promises made by Mingguang Shangren and Yongxin Sword Lord will be fulfilled.

He also shared a portion of Qing Mingzi's pure Primordial Spirit Power with Dongfang Huayuan.

After leaving the Ghost Realm with the others, he personally handled some sect affairs, and then, together with Zhu Xun, bid a final farewell to Jiang Qiang, who had passed away peacefully in his sleep. After agreeing with the Qu Shenzong on a time to travel together to Lan Ke Mountain, he and Zhu Xun returned to the Ghost Realm.

Now, decades later, he has been absorbing and refining Qing Mingzi's Primordial Spirit Power and Dao power.

At the same time, he used the Life and Death Reincarnation Technique to absorb the vast Death Qi within the Ghost Realm and transform it into Life Energy. With this power of creation, he strengthened the Life and Death Dao Rhyme, and together with the improvement of his Primordial Spirit, he rapidly improved his cultivation level.

After decades of refining and absorbing such abundant resources, he has gained a great deal and is not far from breaking through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.
