Spirit Transmutation Completion! Array Spirit Extends Longevity! The Peaceful Era Is Ending

"Ah!--"

A piercing scream suddenly tore through the deep mountains and reached the Nine Nether Ghost City, instantly silencing all the ghosts.

In the depths of space, the Ghost Body of the Nine Nether Ghost Lord was drawn into the giant Black and White Life and Death Flower. His ghostly energy was rapidly absorbed and transformed into Life Energy, filling his body and causing immense harm.

No matter how much it struggled and broke free, launching attacks with Ghost Artifact Law Treasure, it could not stop the ghostly energy within its body from reversing into Life Energy.

This incredibly terrifying scene terrified the Nine Nether Ghost Lord to the point of losing his soul.

Fortunately, the attacks of the Ghost Artifact Law Treasure were not entirely ineffective, and they still caused damage to the Black and White Life and Death Two Flowers.

Despite the Nine Nether Ghost Lord's fierce resistance, the giant Flower of Life and Death was quickly breached, and its figure fled in a disheveled state, rapidly moving away from the deep mountains.

Chen Dengming did not intervene again, quietly watching as the Nine Nether Ghost Lord fled back to the Ghost City in a sorry state.

With his Life and Death Cycle Technique and Life and Death Cycle Technique and its powerful restraint on ghosts, even killing the Nine Nether Ghost Lord wouldn't be impossible; it would just require more effort.

However, eliminating the Nine Nether Ghost Lord would not be of much significance; it would only disrupt the balance of the Ghost Realm and cause other Ghost Lord and Ghost Kings to band together out of fear, sharing a common hatred, which would be detrimental to his and his Incense Clone' development in the Ghost Realm.

Seeing the astonishing power of his newly comprehended Life and Death Cycle Technique, Chen Dengming was greatly satisfied.

With his mastery of the Life and Death Dao Rhyme and Death and the two Daoist Divine Ability he has comprehended, he can now roam freely in the Ghost Realm and control the Life and Death Qi, which is a tremendous killing move for any ghost cultivator.

However, the purpose of deterrence has been achieved. The concentration of ghostly energy near this Nine Nether Ghost City is indeed no longer acceptable. Chen Dengming has decided to leave and find another place to cultivate.

Nine Nether Ghost City, the Nine Nether Ghost Lord, who had fled in panic to the tomb, breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that Chen Dengming was not pursuing him.

He looked down at his body, which was formed from Yin Earth, and his eyes showed horror.

But this body of yin earth, which should have been shrouded in Yin Qi, was now full of Life Energy and Life Force, and even excessively sprouted many seedlings of flowers and plants.

This incredibly vibrant Life Force made the Nine Nether Ghost Lord feel extremely uncomfortable and uneasy, and his eyes revealed a deep-seated fear.

The Heavenly Human Dao Lord is too powerful and terrifying. His technique of Life and Death Reincarnation actually possesses the power of Life and Death Reincarnation, almost turning this dead ghost into a living person. One-tenth of the ghost energy in his body has even been transformed into Life Energy.

This means that he had already lost one-tenth of his cultivation in the previous exchange.

It would take at least a hundred years to regain this level of cultivation.

Damn it!

The Nine Nether Ghost Lord's heart was bleeding. Suddenly, he was startled and realized that the powerful aura, which was like a nightmare, was fading away. He was immediately surprised.

After a short while, the Nine Nether Ghost Lord secretly watched Chen Dengming's figure disappear into the distance at the entrance of the tomb. Thinking of what the other party had said earlier, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, gradually relaxed.

"It seems he truly had no intention of killing me. He's probably just unhappy with the ghostly aura around here. I hope he doesn't come back."

After relaxing, the Nine Nether Ghost Lord was on the verge of tears.

The Heavenly Human Dao Lord had only been here for two years. Although he still had the life of a ghost, he had already shed a layer of skin.

Not only did the concentration of ghostly energy within the ghost city drop several levels, but its own cultivation also suffered a 10% loss. Furthermore, a large number of low-level ghosts around the ghost city became Incense Believer of the people brought by the other party.

He dared not forcibly expel or kill these many Incense Believer, but could only let them roam freely.

Several days later.

An uninvited guest arrived at the River Styx near the City of the Undying.

Under the unseen observation of the Undying Ghost King, who was trembling with fear, he immediately recognized the uninvited guest as the Heavenly Human Dao Lord who had just left the Nine Nether Ghost City. He immediately covered his forehead, his vision went black, and he cried out in despair.

"This killer star was staying peacefully with Old Ghost Nine Nether, how did he suddenly come here? This is terrible, this is terrible!"

Considering that the Nine Nether Ghost Lord had only lost resources and not his life, the cautious Undying Ghost Lord thought it over again and again, but still left the Ghost City with a fearful avatar to give a feigned welcome and inquire about Chen Dengming's purpose.

Half a cup of tea later, the incarnation of the Undying Ghost Lord left the River Styx with a grim expression.

"At least a hundred years! This damned bastard actually intends to stay here with me for at least a hundred years!"

Inside the tomb, the Undying Ghost Lord's expression was gloomy.

The Nine Nether Ghost Lord could only hold out for two years before he couldn't take it anymore. If this damned Heavenly Human Dao Lord were to stay here for a hundred years, his Undying Ghost City would probably become a dead city.

But even with the strength of this Heavenly Human Dao Lord, he dared not resist rashly.

Remembering the Nine Nether Ghost Lord's previous plea for help, the Undying Ghost Lord Nine Nether Ghost Lord immediately tried to contact him.

Inside the tomb of the Nine Nether Ghost City, the Nine Nether Ghost Lord was pondering where the Heavenly Human Dao Lord would settle down again, and in his heart he had already Curse both the Undying Ghost Lord and the Interminable Ghost Lord.

He was overjoyed to suddenly receive a message for help from the Undying Ghost Lord via the telepathic array.

"You immortal old ghost, you've finally met your match! I asked you for help before, and you ignored me. Today, I'll make sure you can't even reach me! If you don't die, who will?"

He immediately responded telepathically.

"Undying Ghost Lord, this Heavenly Human Dao Lord from the Human World has no ill intentions. He's only staying with you for a short time, no more than a hundred years. Just bear with it. Being a ghost, the best thing is to live happily!"

The Undying Ghost Lord was so angry that his mouth almost twisted in disbelief when he received a retort that was exactly the same as what he had said before. But now that it was his turn, he really had nothing to say.

On the other side, the Interminable Ghost Lord of Wujian, who received the telepathic message, was also somewhat flustered.

It seems that the Heavenly Human Dao Lord are going to visit the few remaining Ghost Lord one by one.

It's very likely that after the Undying Ghost Lord, he'll be next.

But at this moment, even knowing the outcome, he couldn't muster much thought of resistance or even an ambush.

The Undying Ghost Lord's suggestion that the three Ghost Lord join forces to expel the Heavenly Human Dao Lord is just as ridiculous as the Nine Nether Ghost Lord's previous proposal.

It seems that the Heavenly Human Dao Lord only needs a large amount of ghost energy resources for cultivation and has no intention of eliminating the three Ghost Lords.

However, if they were to rise up and launch a fierce counterattack, even if they managed to drive away the Heavenly Human Dao Lord, given the current powerful state of the Human World, it's possible that many Spirit Transmutation Dao Lords in the human Human World would make a comeback, and the Ghost Realm would be completely reshuffled.

The Interminable Ghost Lord was unwilling to engage in a petty squabble. He had cultivated for so many years, and had even died once. To be able to live and become Ghost Lord was already an incredible stroke of luck. Resources were important, but not as important as life.

"Sigh! Enough! Undying Ghost Lord! Ghosts have to bow their heads when under someone's roof. Just bear with it and the storm will pass. Don't cause any more trouble."

Although the Undying Ghost Lord was furious, he listened to advice and gradually calmed down.

If he didn't want his reputation for immortality to turn into one of certain death, he would indeed have to choose to be pragmatic and settle things peacefully.

After politely seeing off the Undying Ghost Lord's incarnation who had come to visit, Chen Dengming continued his cultivation near the River Styx.

He used the same technique to perform the Life and Death Cycle Technique, absorbing ghostly energy from all directions, turning it into Death Qi and then into Life Energy, thus enhancing his cultivation.

During this process, the Incense Clone is still responsible for accepting all the low-level ghosts attracted by the overwhelming ghost energy and developing them into Incense Believer.

After cultivating for over a month, the Undying Ghost Lord still hadn't seen any movement. However, two ghost messengers who had come from the Nine Nether Ghost City and the Boundless Ghost City brought some interesting news.

A ghost messenger sent by the Nine Nether Ghost City brought news that the Undying Ghost Lord had plotted to ambush him, but the Nine Nether Ghost Lord righteously refused.

The ghost messenger sent by the City of No Return, representing the Interminable Ghost Lord, invited Chen Dengming to visit the City of No Return after his trip to the City of Undying, and presented him with the rare treasure, the Nether River Soul Lamp Grass, as a gift.

This truly showed Chen Dengming what it meant for everyone to have their own ulterior motives.

These two Ghost Lord likely didn't want to be dragged down by the Undying Ghost Lord, so they took the initiative to curry favor with him, while also hoping to use him to get rid of the Undying Ghost Lord.

He absorbed a lot of the resources of the Ghost Realm, but it doesn't matter. The death of an Undying Ghost Lord means there will be more resources available for distribution in the future.

But Chen Dengming was naturally not provoked by such a low-level tactic.

The fact that the Undying Ghost Lord has remained holed up and hasn't come out lately is enough to show that he has no intention of being his enemy.

He's only here to compete for resources for cultivation, not to fight and kill. It would be best if we could coexist peacefully.

Chen Dengming instructed the ghost messengers of the Netherworld Ghost City to deliver the Nether River Soul Lamp Grass directly to the Underworld Ghost City, to the hands of the former Little Array Spirit, now the Ghost Queen of Youdu.

The Little Array Spirit has been stuck at the Spirit Transformation stage for a long time, unable to break through, and its remaining lifespan is slowly being depleted.

If the Little Array Spirit is still unable to break through to the Little Array Spirit Transformation further prolong its lifespan after consuming this Styx Nether River Soul Lamp Grass, Chen Dengming plans to use his own extraordinary methods to try and forcefully help the Little Array Spirit complete the breakthrough.

The world has changed drastically, but the green hills remain unchanged.

I wish to ride the wind and roam in splendor, to Spirit Transformation and merge with the Dao to meet the immortals.

In the realm of demons, another hundred years passed in the blink of an eye during cultivation.

These past hundred years were not fleeting moments within the Heavenly Longevity Hall, but rather a period of cultivation within the normal flow of time.

Therefore, something happened that made the Undying Ghost Lord breathe a sigh of relief— the Heavenly Human Dao Lord had cultivated near the Undying Ghost City for a hundred years, but it only caused the concentration of ghost energy in the Undying Ghost City to drop by two levels. This result was not particularly unbearable.

Therefore, the Undying Ghost Lord ridiculed the Nine Nether Ghost Lord, making a mountain out of a molehill. Meanwhile, the Interminable Ghost Lord, who was secretly observing the situation, breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the course of a century, Chen Dengming remained calm and composed, like water overflowing when full, and finally achieved the perfect breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation stage.

In the eighty-seventh year, the Incense Clone successfully gathered immense Incense and Faith power, ignited the divine fire, and broke through to Spirit Transformation.

Only the Little Array Spirit array is still a bit short of breaking through to the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage.

After cultivating near the Undying Ghost City for a hundred years, Chen Dengming went to cultivate near the Boundless Ghost City. He did not favor one over the other and basically used up the resources of each ghost city.

However, after cultivating near the Ghost City of No Jiazi the Unseen, Chen Dengming had a premonition that it was time to leave.

The two hundred years of peace that was predicted by divine Heaven's Will and divination have now passed by more than 160 years.

Now, with only thirty-odd years left, we are about to enter that ominous year, seemingly ordained by Heaven's Will fate.

Over the years, although he has not yet opened the Fortune and Prosperity Heaven and comprehended the third Dao Intent the Heavenly Great Fortune Reaching the Heavens, his Life and Death Dao Rhyme is already perfected, and his cultivation is completely stable at the Perfection of the Spirit Transformation. His preparations are quite sufficient.

Presumably, both Qu Shenzong and Dongfang Huayuan have made preparations.

It's time to leave the pass and deal with the internal troubles posed by the Buddha Guai, and help Dongfang Huayuan.

Chen Dengming had no habit of hesitating or procrastinating. As soon as the thought arose, he left the Ghost City of No Return with his Incense Clone and headed to the former Underworld Ghost City of the Underworld, now known as Youdu.

Before leaving the Ghost Realm, he wanted to personally help the Little Array Spirit break through to the Spirit Transformation, so that he could truly have no regrets and not want to see his old friends grow old and their beauty fade away.

Youdu.

The tomb rebuilt by Little Array Spirit is a beautiful, undulating mountain range, winding and twisting, filled with ghostly energy, resembling a sleeping dragon.

Chen Dengming's arrival immediately alerted the Little Array Spirit cultivating inside the tomb.

Suddenly, the tomb gates swung open, and a strange spiritual light bathed the tomb in a blue glow, as if the entire mountain forest were coated with a blue light, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight.

The Little Array Spirit's figure was like a rich floral fragrance carried by the evening breeze, transforming into a light mist that wove into the dark green mountains and forests, like a soft, cool cloud, rushing towards Chen Dengming.

"Fellow Daoist!"

"Ling'er!"

Chen Dengming embraced the soft, fragrant jade in his arms, inhaling the familiar scent of the Little Array Spirit, gazing at her radiant face, a smile appearing on his own.

His relationship with the Little Array Spirit started with the demon helping him cultivate, then progressed to countless days and nights of intimate companionship, and later, his wife Xu Wei's true spirit transformed into his Seven Souls.

Over the years, the two have naturally developed and harmoniously formed an inseparable dao companion relationship.

To say there were no feelings involved would be a lie.

It's impossible for me not to love you.

The relationship between the human and the ghost, which should have been different paths, has now become a natural progression. Even He Yingyu has long accepted the fact that Old Deng has been Keeping a Beauty in a Golden House and raising a female ghost in his Soul House for many years.

However, now that she is stronger and has a higher status, the Little Female Ghost's identity and strength have also risen accordingly. She has moved from the Soul House to the Ghost Realm and become the Ghost Queen of Youdu.

"Ling'er, your body, formed from Yin earth, is otherwise no different from a normal person's in terms of feel, except for being a bit cold..."

Chen Dengming lowered his head and gazed at the Little Array Spirit in his arms, whose temperament had become more noble than before, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Little Array Spirit smiled faintly, "That's natural. If I can break through to the Dao Integration stage in the future, and even switch between Yin and Yang, and be resurrected from the dead, then I will be no different from a normal person."

Unfortunately, I'm still lacking some experience even in the Spirit Transformation...

She paused, seemingly unwilling to worry Chen Dengming, then clenched her fist and said with encouragement, "However, fellow Daoist, rest assured, at most another Jiazi, I will definitely be able to break through to the Spirit Transformation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming shook his head. "Ling'er, I can't wait that long, and neither can you. Today I'll give it a try and see if I can help you break through faster."

You now possess a body shaped from Yin Earth and two Yin Springs, your foundation is already quite solid, and your essence, energy, Essence, Qi, and Spirit have all reached their peak. What you lack is only a blazing fire to ignite your Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit, allowing you to achieve complete perfection. I can ignite that fire for you right now!

"Fellow Daoist, will this have any impact on you?" the Little Array Spirit asked worriedly. "If it does have an impact on you..."

"No, don't worry!" Chen Dengming gave the little Little Array Spirit a reassuring smile, then gestured for it to fly back into the tomb and prepare.

Even after the Little Array Spirit broke through to the mid-to-late stage of the Nascent Soul, its lifespan was only extended by about four hundred years.

Nearly three hundred years have passed since then. If it takes another sixty Jiazi to break through to the Spirit Transformation, there is a risk that the closer one gets to the end, the less likely one is to break through, and ultimately, one will perish.

Chen Dengming does not want this tragedy to happen again.

At this moment, seeing that the Little Array Spirit had already gathered Yin soil and prepared inside the tomb, Chen Dengming immediately stopped hesitating. He opened the Death Gate of the Human Disk Eight Gates in his body, made a hand seal to perform the Life and Death Cycle Technique, and absorbed the ghost energy from all directions, which then surged into the tomb.

Just as the ghostly Death Qi was about to transform into Life Energy, Chen Dengming forcibly interrupted the Technique Method.

Although this made him quite uncomfortable, it was still within his tolerance level.

With his current strength and perfected Life and Death Dao Rhyme, this backlash from the Law Technique is unlikely to cause much harm.

After performing these Technique Method more than ten times, the density of ghostly energy in the Little Array Spirit tomb had surpassed the Yama level, reaching an even more terrifying and dense hellish level, almost restoring the former glory of the ghost immortal era.

However, the ghostly aura around the tomb and the surrounding Ghost City was becoming increasingly thin.

Surrounded by such dense ghostly energy, the Little Array Spirit, whose Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit had already reached their peak, began to undergo another transformation, like oil being poured over a raging fire, moving towards perfection.

This continued for about half a year.

One day, within the Youdu Tomb, a surge of powerful ghostly energy suddenly spread in all directions. A perfectly beautiful and captivating body, amidst the dense ghostly energy and accompanied by the numerous minor Primordial Spirit thoughts and wills of the Little Array Spirit, condensed and emerged.

"Finally, I've broken through!"

Outside the mausoleum, a hint of satisfaction appeared on Chen Dengming's slightly tired face, followed by a hearty laugh.

The Little Array Spirit Transformation's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage finally resolved the long-standing issue of its Yin Longevity limit, allowing it to enjoy at least another three thousand years of Yin Longevity in the future.

Xu Wei's true spirit transformed into the Seven Souls the Little Array Spirit. Could it be said that she could now continue to accompany him for another three thousand years?

"I am not alone on this path!"

Chen Dengming's eyes were full of gratified smiles. He never wanted to live forever but was all alone, without any ties or friends.

Because he cultivates not the path of ruthless immortality, but the path of compassionate immortality, thus making his journey in this world of Xianxia worthwhile.

However, although their lifespans have increased, the hidden dangers of the great calamity have not yet been eliminated. If they cannot overcome the calamity, even if they possess eternal life like immortals, they will still be unable to escape the fate of perishing.

Chen Dengming saw that the Little Array Spirit's aura was stable and its energy channels were long within the tomb, indicating that it was consolidating its realm.

He immediately turned and left, his mind connecting Qu Shenzong and Dongfang Huayuan through Heaven's Will.

"Senior Qu, Dongfang... two hundred years are about to pass, and we don't have much time left. Are you ready?"

Within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, in a stone cave that had been peaceful for over a hundred years, two lightning-fast beams of light shot out from the cave.

Inside the grotto, a burly figure with a full beard and a composed aura suddenly became increasingly powerful and surging, spreading out a Daoist energy fluctuation that caused the surrounding void to freeze.

"Nephew Disciple Chen, I have been waiting for a long time."

In the Western Regions, amidst the vast Myriad Mountains, a long roar, like a giant dragon shattering the clouds, suddenly resounded. A blinding Silver Light pierced through the snow-capped peaks and shot out with lightning speed. Within the Silver Light, a domineering and rugged figure stood proudly atop a giant spear, exuding an aura of intimidation.

"Young Chen, I've been waiting for you to say that! For the sake of achieving enlightenment, I'm willing to risk my life! If I succeed this time, I'll owe you two favors!"

Inside the Ghost Realm, Chen Dengming shook his head and smiled inwardly, "Dongfang, don't be too optimistic. I still haven't grasped the Dao Intent of 'Great Fortune Reaching the Qi Tian,' but I'm somewhat confident in controlling the Heavenly Fortune Hall."

But what the Living Buddha Venerable's intentions are, remains unknown!
