Spirit Transmutation Late Stage! A Single Domain Cannot Contain the Great Kun! Everyone Ascends

After reaching the Spirit Transformation, each advancement in every minor realm becomes exceptionally difficult and arduous, requiring the consumption of massive amounts of resources.

Such a massive amount of resources is something that neither the Four Seas Four Regions nor the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm could provide to Chen Dengming in a short period of time.

In other words, after providing it to him, the Four Seas Four Regions, including the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, will pay a certain price.

The Immortal Spiritual Energy of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm is constantly leaking away and collapsing. Chen Dengming's unbridled absorption of Immortal Spiritual Energy for cultivation will inevitably accelerate the collapse of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The Spiritual Qi resources within the Four Seas Four Regions are probably even inferior to those of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

If we compare the Four Seas Four Regions to a vast ocean, then the Longevity Dao Domain is one of those oceans.

The Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Cultivation Cultivator of the Longevity Sect are like small fish and shrimp, the Nascent Soul Cultivator Spirit Transformation cultivators are like a Kun, which is even larger than a giant whale.

The Kun is so large that it can barely be contained within a large ocean area.

If it were to eat freely, all the other fish and shrimp in this sea area would have no food, and might even become food for the Kun.

Therefore, if Chen Dengming wanted to cultivate quickly, it would be difficult for him to stay in the Four Seas Four Regions for an extended period.

Even if one leaves the Longevity Dao Domain to cultivate in other regions, it will be a huge burden on those regions, violating the <Contract for Spirit Transformation Cultivators> and triggering war and conflict.

This is also why the old ancestors stayed in the Daoist land for a long time to cultivate in seclusion, and why even though the Spirit Transformation cultivators were all of excellent talent, they still found it difficult to make rapid progress and break through.

While a lack of understanding of the Tao certainly played a part, another major reason was the issue of resources.

The disputes among the Spirit Transformation, such as Mingguang Shangren and Yongxin Sword Lord, over the places to preach were actually a struggle for resources.

However, now, with the help of the Life and Death Reincarnation Technique and the protection of Senluo, Chen Dengming has found a new path and has achieved the convenience of cultivating in the Ghost Realm by utilizing its resources.

The Ghost Realm is comparable in size to the entire Four Seas Four Regions, but the number of Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord within it is far less than in the Four Seas Four Regions.

Moreover, thanks to the existence of the River Styx, the ghostly energy resources within the Ghost Realm are incredibly abundant.

Normal cultivators in the Human World, being living beings, cannot utilize the eerie ghostly energy to cultivate.

Because ghost energy is Death Qi, even the old zombies of the Iron Armor Sect dare not completely and recklessly absorb Death Qi for cultivation; they still need to retain a portion of Life Energy.

However, Chen Dengming understood the Life and Death Dao Rhyme and created the Life and Death Reincarnation Technique, which allowed him to control Death Qi and use magic to transform the vast Death Qi into Life Energy.

Between the cycles of life and death, a balance of yin and yang is maintained, generating the power of creation, providing the body with vigorous vitality, and strengthening the essence of the three elements in the human body.

The continuous improvement of the Life and Death Dao Rhyme will also continuously increase his Law Power and strengthen the three elements of the human body, thus perfectly solving the problem of Law Power resources.

With the issues of essence and qi in the three elements of the human body resolved, and the spirit in the three elements having the vast Primordial Spirit Power left behind by Qing Mingzi as a huge resource pool, Chen Dengming completely solved the problem of Cultivation Resources that plagued all Spirit Transformation cultivators.

Therefore, after more than forty years of cultivation, Chen Dengming's <Heavenly Human Dao Law> has become increasingly proficient, and his cultivation speed has increased extremely rapidly, a hundred times faster than that of other Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord who do not have such unique Cultivation Resources.

After another thirty-seven years of cultivation.

On this day, a vast pressure from the Spirit Transformation, like a sudden surge of ocean waves, spread in all directions from the mountain valley filled with the Life and Death Two Flowers. Instantly, the black and white flowers covering the mountains and fields bowed slowly outward from the thatched hut, as if paying homage and offering congratulations.

Inside the thatched hut, Chen Dengming radiated Treasure Light, releasing a powerful aura of life that even Senluo's aura could not suppress, causing the Water of the Underworld River to surge and churn with immense force.

Late stage of Spirit Transformation.

With abundant resources at his disposal, Chen Dengming finally broke through from the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation to the late-stage of the Spirit Transformation after seventy-nine years.

The ultimate sublimation of his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit brought about by the breakthrough made his aura soar like smoke and pillars of light, directly reaching the ghostly realm and the dark heavens, attracting attention from all directions.

Starfall Ghost City, the Starfall Old Ghost, who was enjoying himself with two women on his left and right, was so startled that he almost fell off his chair. Looking up at the outside of the hall, he felt the powerful aura that was not far away, and his mind trembled.

"Master has broken through!"

Zhu Xun also flew up to the city wall, looking into the distance with gleaming tiger eyes and a heart full of excitement.

Two beautiful and charming Ghost Bride flew over together, exclaiming joyfully.

"Husband, Senior Chen has broken through."

"Senior Chen is truly a peerless genius! This is the first time a cultivator from the Human World has been able to break through in the Ghost Realm."

Further away, the three remaining Nascent Soul Ghost Lords of the Ghost Realm—Nine Nether Ghost Lord, Boundless Ghost Lord, and Undying Ghost Lord—sensed the aura of the former God of Slaughter and were all awakened from their slumber, their minds trembling and filled with suspicion.

"This god of death actually broke through in the Ghost Realm? How did he do it? What is he trying to do? Does he want to unify the Ghost Realm?"

The Nine Nether Ghost Lord was very confused and uneasy. After thinking it over, he decided to test the waters.

Inside the Undying Ghost City, the Undying Ghost Lord enormous Ghost Body, held a bowl of wine in his hands, deep in thought. "In recent years, the ghostly energy in Starfall Ghost City has been churning like a great river flowing into the sea. I've always wondered what this Heavenly Human Dao Lord has been up to. I never imagined he could absorb Death Qi to cultivate?"

Now he has even broken through! This is a cultivator from the Human World coming to the Ghost Realm to plunder Cultivation Resources. This person is not to be trifled with!

Although he was extremely dissatisfied and resentful, the situation was beyond his control. The deaths of the Netherworld Ghost Lord and the Underworld Ghost Lord served as a warning. Although he was known as the Undying Ghost Lord, when it really came down to it, he would still die. At most, he would complain in his heart, but he dared not stop it.

Inside the Ghost City of No Return, the Interminable Ghost Lord was even more pragmatic and was already making arrangements to send Ghost Bride with congratulatory gifts to offer his congratulations.

What nonsense about humans and ghosts being on different paths! Human World cultivators are all about blood and flesh. Forget about ghosts, it's all about who has the bigger fist.

At this moment, other ghost kings and lords in the Ghost Realm, such as the Ghost Lord Yin Spring Ghost Lord, were also alarmed. They had different thoughts, but they were all intimidated by it.

Inside the thatched hut, Chen Dengming slowly suppressed the surging aura emanating from his breakthrough, instructing the Senluo in his spiritual world to transmit more Senluo Aura to mask his living aura and evade the suppression of the ghost realm.

He felt that his Divine Sense senses were more acute after the breakthrough, and the world around him seemed to have changed.

He had experienced this feeling when he broke through to the early stage of the Spirit Transformation.

But now, this feeling is clearer; the world around him seems more three-dimensional and complex, and many things seem to have lost their secrets before his eyes.

Judging from his pre-transmigration mindset, he should already be able to see the four-dimensional state of the world. Furthermore, if we add his understanding of the Heavenly Human Time Method of time and space, he can now directly see the rapid flow of time, this ethereal thing, and the existence of space.

This is something that other Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord might not be able to do, and it's something he couldn't directly perceive when entering the corresponding state without using Immortal Celestial Dao Power.

"With a stronger Primordial Spirit, my Divine Sense, willpower, and perception have also greatly improved."

Chen Dengming carefully sensed it, then made a hand seal and cast a Fireball Technique.

The extremely thin fire Spiritual Qi in the air rapidly condensed under the influence of the superior fire Spirit Root.

A huge fireball, as big as a tabletop, quickly condensed.

Chen Dengming could see through the Spiritual Qi structure within the fireball at a glance.

It is this structure, created by combining Mnemonic and hand gestures with intention, that allows Spiritual Qi to be arranged in a specific pattern, forming this enormous fireball.

Now he could see through the structure at a glance. With a slight concentration of Divine Sense will in his eyes, the structure in the fireball instantly became disordered and collapsed, disintegrating into Spiritual Qi with a 'boom' and disappearing.

He continued to try casting spells, and even more complex Technique Method became completely transparent under the Divine Sense will granted by his Primordial Spirit Power.

One can see the complex structure at a glance, and with a powerful Divine Sense will, one can directly cause the Technique Method to collapse.

No wonder that those who reach the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord level must use true Dao techniques imbued with Daoist principles.

Only true Daoist arts that contain Daoist principles can contain one's own Divine Sense will and Dao Intent. Even if the structure of the Technique Method is seen through, it is difficult to destroy the Technique Method directly with one's powerful Primordial Spirit Power.

Chen Dengming suddenly mobilized his Immortal Celestial Dao Power and used the <Heavenly Human Time Method> to control the flow of time around him and converge it forward.

An extremely dense aura of time instantly gathered above his palm. It was invisible to the naked eye and difficult to perceive with the mind, yet it slipped away from his fingers as quickly as quicksand.

The Immortal Celestial Dao Power was also rapidly depleting, so Chen Dengming pushed the flow of time he controlled forward.

With his other hand, he quickly formed a hand seal, casting a spell to construct a Technique Method state with a Celestial Person structure, resembling a human figure.

Chen Dengming had already honed this skill of shaping people to an extremely high level through countless attempts at creating clones.

He swiftly channeled a chaotic, rapidly dissipating force of time into the structure of the Celestial Person Technique Method.

A figure emanating a chilling aura of time appeared instantly beside Chen Dengming. The figure emitted bizarre and strange light, seemingly filled with twisted and ever-changing fluctuations. A single glance conveyed the vicissitudes of time and the terrifying aura of its relentless passage.

"Go!"

Chen Dengming pointed casually.

A figure, imbued with the aura of time, flashed by and instantly pounced against the wall of the thatched hut.

The walls of the thatched cottage looked as if they had been weathered by more than a decade of time, with visible signs of wear and tear.

The figure charged forward with undiminished momentum, leaving behind traces of time as if time itself accelerated in its wake.

Ultimately, the time-manipulation power within the figure was completely exhausted, the Technique Method structure collapsed, and it vanished completely.

Chen Dengming watched this scene and nodded slightly.

His Heavenly Human Time Method, after absorbing Dao power and reaching a high level of mastery through the Heavenly Human Dao Rhyme, has now reached a high level and can be used in actual combat.

The time power he controlled just now wasn't much; at most, it could only accelerate time by ten years, stripping external objects of their time.

However, if he were willing to remain still for a hundred days, controlling the time to condense a Heavenly Timing Avatar, once this avatar is unleashed, it could deprive the enemy of a hundred years of lifespan.

However, the 100-day preparation time for the Technique Method is far too long, and the conditions for casting it are very demanding.

Chen Dengming concentrated his Divine Sense will again, looking at a certain point in the void, and the divine light in his eyes quickly brightened like a lamp.

Instantly, there seemed to be a barely perceptible ripple in the void, yet it was as if nothing had happened.

Chen Dengming shook his head, the light in his eyes fading.

It seems that although he can perceive the boundaries of space, he is still unable to shake the power of space through his own Divine Sense will.

This is normal. The Immortal Celestial Dao Power in the Heavenly Longevity Path mainly lies in their control over the power of time, which is the source of the strength of the orthodox Celestial Immortal Path.

As long as one's comprehension is high enough, one can comprehend the Heavenly Timing of Heaven in the Dao of Longevity and use the Immortal Celestial Dao Power to influence time. Others who have not reached the Spirit Transformation through this path will find it difficult to do so.

However, influencing space is beyond the scope of this method. One can only indirectly influence space by controlling time, thus forming the power of spacetime.

Chen Dengming stayed in the thatched hut for several more days to consolidate his cultivation and familiarize himself with his current state of Law Power.

Qing Mingzi still had about 10% of his Primordial Spirit power remaining.

This one-tenth of his Primordial Spirit Power wasn't enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Spirit Transformation, but it still saved him two hundred years of arduous cultivation.

A few days later, sensing the presence outside the thatched hut, Chen Dengming couldn't help but smile. He used a Cleansing Technique to tidy it up before stepping out of the hut.

"Fellow Daoist!"

The charming figure of the Little Array Spirit appeared first, riding a white deer covered in muscles.

Upon seeing Chen Dengming, she cried out joyfully and pounced towards him. The light from the Yin Spring of the Starfall Ghost City not far away illuminated one side of her pretty face, making her long, slender, and beautiful neck even more alluring, as fair as snow.

She flew to Chen Dengming's side, then demurely lowered her head to congratulate him, saying, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, fellow Daoist! Julu and I sensed it and rushed here immediately to celebrate for you."

"Ling'er, almost eighty years have passed, and you've become much stronger! Not bad! Truly not bad!"

Chen Dengming gazed at Little Array Spirit's radiant and exquisitely beautiful face. Her bright eyes sparkled beneath her long, arched eyebrows, and her dimples appeared on her cheeks as she spoke. He couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and comfort.

Before going into seclusion to cultivate, Chen Dengming shared some of Qing Mingzi's Primordial Spirit power with the giant deer and the Little Array Spirit, helping the giant deer recover from its near-death injuries.

However, most of the Primordial Spirit Power was given to the Little Array Spirit, hoping to help it become a true Ghost Lord in the future and achieve longevity, rather than reaching the end of its Yin Longevity, which is a great pity.

In retrospect, the choice he made back then was not wrong.

After obtaining nearly one-tenth of Qing Mingzi's Primordial Spirit Power, the Little Array Spirit, with Chen Dengming's instruction and the help of Starfall Old Ghost and Zhu Xun, obtained the Underworld Ghost Lord's Underworld Ghost City, Yin Tu, and Yin Quan.

Now, eighty years later, the Little Array Spirit has cultivated to the Nascent Soul Perfection stage, its aura has become much stronger, and it has extended its lifespan by a few years. It is increasingly likely that it will break through to become Ghost Lord before its Yin Longevity ends, thus extending its lifespan once again.

The Little Array Spirit felt shy under Chen Dengming's unwavering gaze, but she could sense Chen Dengming sincere feelings and was moved. Overcoming her shyness, she nestled into Chen Dengming's arms like a gentle breeze, her soft and pure voice reaching his ears.

"I was able to recover and even surpass my former strength, regain my Three Souls Seven Souls, and survive to this day, all thanks to the tireless help of you, fellow Daoist, and Sister Xu Wei!"

Seeing the adorable Little Array Spirit, Chen Dengming felt as if he were seeing Xu Wei from the past. Touched, he reached out and stroked Ling'er's smooth hair, saying, "You are the closest people to me on my cultivation path, so there's no need for these words."

Just then, Chen Dengming looked out of the mountain valley and saw that Starfall Old Ghost, Zhu Xun and others had arrived, and even many unfamiliar ghosts had formed a procession and rushed over, which surprised him.

With his spiritual cultivation, no matter what evil intentions the ghosts harbored, he could see through their intentions at a glance. They had all come from afar to congratulate him.

Below the Yin Spring, various ghost kings Ghost Lord sent messengers to congratulate him on becoming a Your Majesty in the Human World, as if he truly had connections in both the Yin and Yang realms, and that both the black and white worlds gave him face.

Such a funny scene made him chuckle involuntarily.

These ghosts are all incredibly cunning; they know the saying, "You can't hit a smiling ghost."

However, being in a foreign land, he readily accepted good advice.

After Zhu Xun and his men accepted all the congratulatory gifts, the group headed back to Starfall Ghost City.

Now that he has successfully broken through, his cultivation has come to an end. However, his resources related to Dao power and Primordial Spirit are scarce, and he needs new insights. Further improvement will not be a matter of a short time.

For nearly eighty years, he stayed in the Ghost Realm not only to cultivate, but also to secretly observe the situation of the Ghost Realm and search for traces of the legendary Ghost Emperor Yuan.

By now, he was fairly certain that Ghost Emperor Yuan was most likely no longer in the Ghost Realm, or that he was already dead; otherwise, he should have appeared during the battle eighty years ago.

In that case, the demon realm would completely lose its threat to the Human World.

The greatest threat to Human World today is the Buddha Guai swallowed by the Living Buddha, and the Eternal Great Tribulation that may erupt at any time.

The former is restrained by the Living Buddha, so the threat is still within a controllable range.

The latter, however, is a catastrophe that could wipe out the entire Cultivation World at any moment.

The Five Great True Immortals of the past fought a great war over resources as they struggled to overcome the Eternal Great Tribulation.

Now that there are no immortals left in the Four Seas Four Regions, how can one transcend tribulation?

Time waits for no one. Having used nearly eighty years of breathing room to improve his strength, Chen Dengming was already very satisfied.

After lingering in Starfall Ghost City for several days, he left the Ghost Realm through the Yin Spring and connected with Qu Shenzong through the Heaven's Will.

"You have indeed broken through in less than a hundred years. Haha, with the help of Qing Mingzi's 30% Primordial Spirit, Dongfang Huayuan is now close to the perfection of the Spirit Transformation. He will probably break through in another Jiazi."

This Qing Mingzi is really something else. He left the Primordial Spirit Power to you, and left the Dao Intent for me to ponder. Hahaha!

Qu Shenzong laughed heartily, then sighed deeply, "Truly, as long as the resource problem can be solved, how could the fine sons of my Four Seas Four Regions lose to those few Dao Integration cultivators from beyond the realms?"

"Great power? What a load of rubbish! He's just got good resources. What a pity for Brother Lu!"

Chen Dengming was not surprised by Dongfang Huayuan's improvement, but upon hearing Qu Shenzong's tone, it seemed that the other party had also made some progress, which made him feel excited.

If Qu Shenzong makes any progress, it may be possible for him to break through to the Dao Integration stage.

Once the other party has the opportunity to break through to the Dao Integration stage, even if the Living Buddha cannot suppress the Buddha Guai in the future, he will have nothing to fear. He immediately asked with pleasure.

"Senior Qu has already found a way to break through to the Dao Integration Realm?"
