In these critical times, when time was of the essence, Chen Dengming acted swiftly and immediately convened a Tribulation Transcending Conference in his capacity as the Heavenly Human Dao Lord, inviting numerous Spirit Transmutation Dao Lords from Four Seas Four Regions to attend within a month.

The reason for setting the timeframe at one month is to take into account that many Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord may be in seclusion or traveling.

For Spirit Transformation cultivator who has lived for five thousand years, a month is no different from a day or even an hour.

The timing of this call to action is both reasonable and urgent.

Chen Dengming personally used his Dao power to inscribe Jade Slip to create invitations, making sure that many Your Majesty realized the importance of the matter. Then, elders from his sect sent them out one by one. For a very few people who were not easy to find, he sent many clones to visit them in person.

A dozen days later, near the Minglong Mountains, once the remote southern Ten Thousand Mile Frontier, now Gathering Place for many Rogue Cultivators and even migrants seeking refuge in the south.

Chen Dengming's figure floated on the clouds, looking down at the bustling scene below with a surprised expression.

"It's quite remarkable that so many mortals and cultivators still reside here today."

Looking back, this place used to be the territory of the Lin family in Brocade Workshop. He and Qiangzi had spent some time making a living in Brocade Workshop, which was one of the most unforgettable times when he was struggling at the bottom of the Cultivation World.

Now, centuries have passed and the world has changed drastically. The Lin family and Brocade Workshop have long since perished, and even Qiangzi has long since died of old age.

This once desolate land, a fierce Battlefield the four regions, has now become prosperous again, which is truly unexpected.

Chen Dengming longed to experience the world of mortals, but the more secrets he knew, the heavier his burden became. His lifespan was longer, but the time he could spare was even less.

His main purpose in coming here was to find out about Nan Xun's situation and see if Dongfang Huayuan was able to successfully achieve Dao attainment.

At this moment, he spared a thought and slipped into the mountainside of Mingyun Mountain below.

This place has been revered as a sacred home by the cultivators of Nanxun. It has many buildings and is surrounded by Formations, which prevent non-Nanxun cultivators from entering.

Near the entrance, there are two very grand statues, one in front of the other. They are not door gods, but seem to have another meaning.

Both statues do not depict specific features, but they are engraved with names.

The former is engraved with the words "Nanxun Saber King, Venerable Immortal Chen".

The latter is inscribed. "The First Person of Ancient Times, the Venerable Immortal of the Dongfang."

When Chen Dengming saw the two statues, he couldn't help but chuckle. By now, many cultivators in the Southern Seeking Realm probably already knew that his true identity was the Celestial Heavenly Human Dao Lord the Longevity Sect.

However, he did not take the initiative to acknowledge him, and some cultivators from the south who sought immortality were also sensible and did not rashly use his name. Even this statue does not depict facial features or specific image and name, which is very considerate.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to help his fellow villagers; in fact, he did more to help Nan Xun than Dongfang Huayuan did.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people migrating from the south to the Cultivation World. But if the cultivators from the south are involved with the Heavenly Human Dao Lord, then things will get complicated, and the originally simple relationship between fellow villagers will become even more complicated.

Chen Dengming's mind wandered, unnoticed by anyone.

At the entrance to the Southern Exploration Gate, which was suddenly sealed by the Formation, a layer of light membrane appeared and then quickly disappeared.

The commotion immediately alerted many of the guards nearby.

But in the end, nothing was found.

As soon as Chen Dengming focused his mind on Nanxun, he sensed a faint repulsive force.

The emergence of this repulsive force immediately gave him a judgment.

After delving deeper for a moment, he decisively pulled himself back to reality.

"It seems that Dongfang has already achieved Dao integration and is now merging his Dao Domain into his Dao Foundation. Otherwise, I wouldn't be feeling this repulsive force. Within Nanxun, his will has already been integrated..."

Knowing that Dongfang Huayuan had already achieved initial success in attaining enlightenment, Chen Dengming breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely at ease.

He has achieved his goal for this trip.

Chen Dengming regained his composure, glanced down at the bustling Gathering Place of Rogue Cultivator below, and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed an anomaly in the Spiritual Qi in the air, which seemed to be rapidly escaping and quickly thinning out.

"Um?"

Chen Dengming's eyes revealed a strange look. Turning around, he looked solemnly at the Minglong Mountains in the distance, near the edge of the Northern Region.

That place was more than two hundred miles away from here. At this moment, a pillar-like wind rose up from the mountains. The wind swirled higher and higher, growing larger and larger, like pillars reaching to the sky sweeping across the mountains, quickly raising a light gray-brown mist.

In an instant, the mist, like tens of thousands of ferocious beasts, rolled and leaped, spreading over the stream and graves, and swiftly crossed mountains and ridges.

"A nascent form of calamity..."

Chen Dengming frowned slightly.

He was planning to investigate Dongfang Huayuan's situation before heading to Bafang to see how the dense fog formed by the nascent calamity force was annihilating living beings.

Unexpectedly, they witnessed a dense fog formed by nascent calamity power, like a sandstorm sweeping across the sky, swallowing mountains and forests, rolling in.

Chen Dengming floated in the air without making a move. He watched as the pillars of wind, carrying thick gray-brown fog, approached from afar like violent yellow dragons. Any Demon Beast swallowed by them disappeared without a trace and never escaped again.

At this moment, in the Gathering Place below, some cultivators on the towers also noticed the thick fog sweeping in from afar. They immediately activated the warning Formation, and the piercing sound spread throughout the bustling Gathering Place. The atmosphere gradually quieted down, leaving only the heart-pounding warning sound.

"What happened?"

"That's... Tribulation Mist! Oh no, it's Tribulation Mist! Evacuate quickly, evacuate!"

After a brief silence within the Gathering Place, an even more exaggerated clamor, accompanied by sirens, pierced the sky, causing even some initially calm individuals to panic.

In the air.

Chen Dengming's figure had disappeared into the clouds and arrived at the forefront of the Tribulation Mist sweeping in from all directions.

Suddenly, he felt as if he were standing before a torrential downpour swept by a typhoon, or as if he were standing alone before a terrifying tsunami hundreds of feet high.

The wind blows across the sea, and a lone figure stands ten thousand miles away.

Before Chen Dengming stood alone amidst the overwhelming Tribulation Mist of calamity, he was in imminent danger of being submerged; the fog truly obscured the sun and moon, and covered the earth.

But at this moment, he suddenly opened his arms, his entire body surging with Immortal Celestial Dao Power, his aura astonishing, causing the surrounding winds to howl, the heavens and earth to ripple, and thunder to roar fiercely.

Thin, beautiful streaks of electricity appeared in the clouds overhead, like bolts of red silk.

Chen Dengming let out a long howl, the sound of which drowned out the thunder, and suddenly clenched his fists.

Instantly, the air pressure in all directions seemed to intensify wildly, and a terrifying, oppressive pressure spread in all directions as he clenched his hands.

Heavenly Immortal Dao Domain!

The overwhelming swirling Tribulation Mist, as if crashing into an invisible barrier, came to a complete halt ten feet in front of Chen Dengming, tumbling and rolling endlessly, yet unable to advance an inch.

Chen Dengming immediately sensed that his Immortal Celestial Dao Power was being depleted.

The Heavenly Immortal Dao Domain that had been constructed was being eroded by this nascent calamity force.

This was a rare occurrence before, indicating that the nascent tribulation power has accumulated even more terrifying negative forces, capable of shaking the Immortal Celestial Dao Power.

His expression turned solemn, and suddenly the phantom image of the Human Heart Hall appeared in his eyes.

Ten thousand flames of the heart appeared within the hall.

The internal human plate Open Door simultaneously with the celestial plate 'Heavenly Heart Star, quickly entering a state of boundless imagination.

"Heavenly Net!"

Chen Dengming raised his hand and grabbed forward.

Instantly, the sky above, blazing with lightning, seemed to be torn apart, instantly creating five claw marks that rapidly extended downwards, gradually transforming into a net of threads forming Heavenly Net.

The Heavenly Immortal Dao Domain in all directions rapidly shrank as they were enveloped by the Heavenly Net, gradually merging with Heavenly Net.

The numerous gray-brown Tribulation Mist contained within the Heavenly Net were rapidly compressed, quickly gathering into a single, awe-inspiring gray-black tribulation force, only a few dozen feet in size.

In the distant Gathering Place Rogue Cultivator, many terrified Rogue Cultivator stared in astonishment at the scene more than two hundred miles away.

Some people felt an immense, terrifying spiritual power emanating from afar, so powerful that it almost made them prostrate themselves on the ground in worship.

Then suddenly, a giant net radiating azure light descended from the Sky Dome, enveloping the overwhelming, sandstorm-like Tribulation Mist, and then coalescing into a small black dot.

Someone used a farsight Technique Method and could vaguely see a figure floating in the air over there, a sight that inspired fear.

Just one glance was enough to conjure up the image of an enormous giant in my mind, and I trembled with fear, unable to look any longer.

"That's... Nascent Soul True Lord?"

"It's Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord."

On a mountain peak outside the Gathering Place, possessing First-Rank Spirit Vein, a Cultivation Family surnamed Chen resides.

At this moment, the group of people in the Lineage were gazing at the distant scenery with reverence. Among them, an elderly man with white hair corrected the mistake of a member of the family, speaking with utmost respect and excitement.

"That should be the Heavenly Human Dao Lord, the ancestor of the Longevity Sect, and also the ancestor of our Chen Family."

The many elders and descendants around him were shocked upon hearing this, and immediately knelt down, led by the old man.

"Great-grandson Chen Feiyan, along with many descendants and clansmen, pays homage to the Ancestor! May the Ancestor live a long and prosperous life, as long as the heavens!"

The younger generation followed suit and paid their respects. Many of the descendants were in a daze, some were so excited that they could hardly believe it, and some were quite nervous.

Many people have heard since childhood that their family is related to the Heavenly Human Dao Lord of the Longevity Sect by blood, especially the lineage of their own ancestor Chen Feilin, which is the most direct relationship. However, many of the older generation in their clans have cultivated for hundreds of years but have never actually set foot in the Longevity Sect, let alone seen the legendary Spirit Transformation Ancestor.

Therefore, the collective worship here today creates a sense of unreality and makes me quite uneasy.

A long time.

The intense spiritual power and the overwhelming Tribulation Mist from the other side of the sky vanished, as if they had never happened; it was all like an illusion.

The Chen Lineage members then came to their senses, feeling a sense of loss as the oppressive force they had felt vanished.

Chen Feiyan sighed inwardly and was about to get up when suddenly the sky darkened, and a faint, oppressive spiritual power emanated from it.

Chen Feiyan was startled and immediately looked up.

A figure floated in the air, with a Cyan Light, shimmering blue net above its head, capturing the rolling black tribulation power within a radius of several dozen feet, emanating a terrifying and dangerous aura.

The sunlight seemed to be half-obscured by this person's figure, making it difficult to see his face clearly in the shadows. Only his white hair at the temples was particularly striking, exuding a sense of vicissitude and eeriness.

"Old... Old..." Beads of sweat instantly appeared on Chen Feiyan's forehead. He was so nervous that he didn't even have the courage to utter the words "Ancestor."

After all, this ancestor was a very ancient and esteemed figure. Even his grandfather seemed to have only met him once when he was very, very young.

"Are you all from the Chen Family?"

High in the sky, Chen Dengming smiled as he looked down at the group of clansmen kneeling on the ground and asked them a question.

There was no need to ask; he had already keenly sensed that many of the people from these Cultivation Family had a faint connection to him in the blood flowing through their veins.

The reason it is described as thin is because his bloodline had already undergone a tremendous change when he was Spirit Transformation, as his body was reforged with Dao Stone.

But since this connection exists, however faint it may be, it does seem like he is a descendant.

Upon hearing this, all the Chen Family descendants were flattered and extremely excited. Chen Feiyan nodded vigorously and immediately took out the family genealogy from his Storage Bag, knelt down respectfully and said, "In reply to Your Majesty, my father is Chen Qingyun, my grandfather is Pei Yi, and my grandfather's father is Chen Feilin, the current ancestor of the Chen Family in the Longevity Dao Domain of the Eastern Region."

"So many generations have passed... If you calculate the time, Fei Lin must be over four hundred, almost five hundred years old by now..."

Chen Dengming looked at the group of people, young and old, below with a sigh, and nodded, saying, "So you are Pei Yi's child. How is your father now? Where is he? We are all family, so there's no need for such formalities Your Majesty junior."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feiyan was so excited that he almost fainted. His old face was flushed. He hurriedly obeyed and said, "Reporting to senior, my father broke through to the Golden Core stage more than a hundred years ago. He then led my brothers and sisters to leave our clan and set off to establish branches and branches elsewhere."

Sixty Jiazi ago, after I, the great-grandson, broke through to the Foundation Establishment, I left the Lineage as my father commanded, taking my children and many followers to establish Lineage near Nanxun Mountain. While cultivating here, I also helped and absorbed some cultivators from Nanxun..."

Chen Dengming was surprised to hear this. It seems that the Chen Family has really done a lot of help for Nan Xun over the years, and they have put their heart into it.

This may also be due to the influence of him and Chen Jing. Chen Feilin must have known about his father Chen Jing's attachment to Nanxun, and when he passed away, he was buried in Nanxun.

However, the reason for dispersing the Lineage in this way is probably to better allocate resources and seek development.

Chen Dengming chatted with Chen Feiyan for a while longer and learned that Chen Feilin had broken through to the Golden Core Late Stage three Jiazi ago, and might not have broken through to the Nascent Soul yet.

This grandson is quite ambitious. He gave up his chance to become a candidate for the Longevity Dao Child in the past. Over the years, he has been busy with his cultivation and has maintained contact with He Yingyu and Chen Feilin, providing support to the Chen Family both openly and secretly.

"You've had it tough too. I see you're still in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, so you must continue your diligent cultivation and not slack off."

Chen Dengming looked at Chen Feiyan and then at his many descendants. He then opened his Storage Bag, selected some pills and talismans, and sent them down.

"These pills can be used to properly nurture the younger generation of the clan!"

Chen Feiyan immediately prostrated himself on the ground, tears of gratitude streaming down his face. When he looked up again, Chen Dengming was nowhere to be seen.

Upon opening the numerous medicine bottles in his hand, he discovered that there were six Foundation Establishment alone, as well as the precious Three Yang Pills, which aided in the rapid accumulation of Law Power Foundation Establishment Realm.

The talismans were incomprehensible in terms of their rank, but judging from the bursts of spiritual power emanating from them, they were likely very powerful talismans, suitable as clan treasures to protect the Lineage.

For the ancestors, this might have been nothing more than a simple gift, but for their descendants, it represented the hope for the future development of the Lineage.

After leaving the scattered small Lineage of the Chen Family, Chen Dengming sought out a remote and desolate place and began to study the immense calamity power contained within the Heavenly Net.

This immense calamity force was originally a vast expanse of nascent Tribulation Mist, but now, gathered together by the Heavenly Net, it has condensed into a gray-black calamity force similar to that found within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

However, after careful examination, Chen Dengming discovered the differences.

"This tribulation power doesn't possess much Karma, so it's almost harmless to those at the Spirit Transformation, but it could potentially cause significant damage to Nascent Soul at the Core Formation stage..."

He deliberately separated a portion of his mind and entered the power of tribulation to experience it.

I felt as if my mind and spirit were being invaded by ghostly energy, or as if I were being baptized by wind, thunder, lightning and fire, and there were also resentful Curse like evil spirits clinging to me. All kinds of negative forces were intertwined, making it very complicated and obscure.

However, this power is only at the level of normal damage and does not rise to the level of Karma calamity, so it cannot cause him much harm and will only deplete his power.

Even such normal damage is absolutely unbearable for Golden Core Cultivator, and even Nascent Soul True Lord would suffer harm if they were in the same situation.

Moreover, this calamity force is clearly highly corrosive, quickly devouring all surrounding forces and turning them into its own.

Even his Dao power was being worn down. Generally, once Nascent Soul True Lord was caught in it, even if he could withstand the damage, if he couldn't escape quickly, his power would be quickly depleted.

"Fortunately, the widespread Tribulation Mist was very thin, and I managed to wipe Tribulation Mist all out, which is why I suffered significant losses."

Even ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator, when caught in a large-scale Tribulation Mist, wouldn't be able to withstand all the damage from the Tribulation Mist and break free like I have. Unless they're extremely unlucky, they wouldn't survive it.

Having formed his own judgment, Chen Dengming gained a clear understanding of the Tribulation Mist that had appeared in various places.

For the time being, it poses no significant threat to cultivators at the Nascent Soul and above.

However, if left unchecked, it could develop to the level of the calamity power within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, which would be terrifying.

But he still doesn't understand how this calamity power was born.

When it was first discovered, the fog seemed to be spreading across the mountains, then suddenly rose with the wind, quickly gathered, and formed a large area.

"The other Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord couldn't possibly be unaware of this tribulation power. I'll see what they have to say at the Tribulation Transcending Assembly in a dozen days."

"We could go to the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and collect some even more powerful tribulation energy to show them its might. That's tribulation energy that even the Outer Realm Devil Venerable fear!"

Chen Dengming's mind raced with thoughts, then he looked at the trapped tribulation force in front of him and felt a headache coming on.

He could only temporarily trap this calamity, but he couldn't destroy it.

No force can cause any damage to this formless and intangible calamity; in fact, it may even be devoured and help it grow stronger.

"Perhaps the path of the Demon Immortals can devour this power, making it a part of themselves, and thus destroying it."

"Or should I just throw this indestructible garbage out into the outer realms and give them a headache?"
