Garbage Hauler! Detaining Outer Domain Nascent Soul! Turning Disaster into Fortune

The Ancient Realm is located on the edge of the New Realm. Looking down from here, a misty, ethereal universe and the world of the Four Seas Four Regions, enveloped by the Outer Heaven, reveal a breathtaking outline.

Every now and then a fog would drift in, making it impossible to see the specific situation below.

Chen Dengming came here for the second time. Gazing at the vast and boundless starry sky in the distance, he felt as if his body had become much lighter. A strange and unfamiliar chill swept over him.

That was the aura of the New Realm, Life Energy of the entire Cultivation World.

From his current perspective, the Ancient Realm is just a broken planet, which may have been a giant Cultivation Star in the past. Perhaps Ancient Realm was incredibly prosperous thousands of years ago.

But now, the Ancient Realm has declined, and the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm is like a huge broken continent, floating in the starry sky, separated from the Four Seas Four Regions below, and shrouded in the mist formed by the Outer Heaven.

Around this massive, semi-circular, shattered continent of the Four Seas Four Regions, there are scattered small landmasses shrouded in light. Some resemble mountain peaks, while others look like giant bowls filled with water. These may be the thirty-six Cave Heaven- heavens and seventy-two blessed lands scattered by the Earth Immortals of the past, or the Mustard Seed Realm of the Human Immortal Way.

Further below the Four Seas Four Regions lies a vast continent shrouded in eerie, ghostly energy.

A large area of it is occupied by rivers that exude a yin Yin Qi, their combined size exceeding that of the four seas.

That was the Ghost Realm, where eighty-one Yin Springs formed eighty-one pillars and passages, connecting the vast Ghost Realm with the Four Seas Four Regions, slowly rotating in the starry sky along with the Four Seas Four Regions.

Such a direct observation reveals that the Ancient Realm was indeed fragmented and devastated.

In the past, the realms of heaven, earth, humans, ghosts, and gods were all in a state of near-completeness, differing only in degree of integrity.

Compared to such Ancient Realm, the New Realm, with its vast universe, seems to possess infinite possibilities. Although planets with life are few, and Cultivation Star capable of cultivation are even rarer, its advantage lies in its boundless universe, abundant resources, and freedom for exploration.

"The New Realm Territories are so vast, with so many powerful figures, including at least two Dao Venerable. It's immoral for me to dump some of the garbage that the Ancient Realm can't handle into the New Realm, but it should be forgivable, right..."

Chen Dengming looked out at the vast universe, then raised his hand and threw the Tribulation Mist that was covered by the Heavenly Net above his head into the depths of the starry sky.

He watched the Tribulation Mist recede into the distance.

After leaving the Ancient Realm, the connection between the Heavenly Net and him gradually weakened; the farther he drifted, the weaker the connection became.

This is a problem that cannot be avoided during the Spirit Transmutation Stage; only after entering the Dao Integration stage will true Dao power be generated.

Furthermore, by maintaining a constant connection with the Dao Domain, one can unleash the power of Dao Intent Divine Ability Abilities anytime, anywhere, even throughout the universe.

As the Tribulation Mist enveloping him was about to slowly sever his connection, he watched as the Heavenly Net enveloped him.

Suddenly, several faint lights appeared from the distant starry sky, quickly approaching the vicinity of the Heavenly Net. Chen Dengming was taken aback, and then his eyes immediately sharpened.

"Outer Domain Evil Cultivator... are they actually guarding the outer perimeter of the Ancient Realm?"

Almost simultaneously, three extraterrestrial cultivators who had flown in from afar in spirit boats also spotted a figure floating on the edge of the Ancient Realm in the distance, and their hearts skipped a beat.

"Ancient Realm Indigenous People?!"

As one of them cast a spell, a mirror-like surface appeared before him, reflecting Chen Dengming's image.

The moment the cultivator saw Chen Dengming's white-haired figure appear in the mirror, his eyes bulged, his expression filled with horror and disbelief.

"The Sovereign of the Sealed Realm?!"

"What?"

"The Sovereign of the Sealed Realm has appeared!?"

The other two cultivators from beyond the realm were also utterly shocked upon hearing this.

Seeing the three flashes of light suddenly stop, Chen Dengming made a decision in a fraction of a second, his mind racing, and he abruptly opened his palm.

The Tribulation Mist that had been shrouded in the distant Heavenly Net was instantly released.

A large cloud of Tribulation Mist instantly enveloped the three Nascent Soul Cultivators.

"Send this message immediately."

Before the three Nascent Soul Cultivators could finish their exchange, a massive cloud of Tribulation Mist suddenly enveloped them, and they immediately activated their magic Law Treasure to defend themselves.

However, these three clearly lacked experience in dealing with the Tribulation Mist, or perhaps they had never encountered such a large-scale Tribulation Mist in the New Realm before. They were immediately swallowed up and submerged by the Tribulation Mist along with their Law Treasure.

Heavenly Net followed almost closely, and under Chen Dengming's control, it once again captured Tribulation Mist and the three of them.

The messages transmitted by the three using their special magical Law Artifact were completely intercepted by the Heavenly Net and could not escape its reach.

The next moment, all three of them experienced the terror of the Tribulation Mist, and the spiritual power attached to their protective Law Treasure was quickly eroded and assimilated.

"Not good! This mist... it possesses such strong corrosive properties! This seems to be the mist formed by the calamity energy that the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain spoke of."

"Quickly break out and spread the news of the appearance of the Sovereign of the Sealed Realm back to our respective sects and the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain. The Sovereign of the Sealed Realm actually released such a dense aura of calamity towards our New Realm; his intentions are despicable!"

"Oh no! We seem to be trapped. When I rushed out, it felt like I hit a solid barrier!"

At the edge of the Ancient Realm, Chen Dengming looked indifferently at the extraterrestrial Nascent Soul Cultivator were scurrying left and right in the Heavenly Net like a few flies.

He quickly and clearly heard the conversation between the three through the connection established between Heaven's Will and Heavenly Net, which further fueled his murderous intent.

However, at the same time, it also raises considerable questions.

"The Sovereign of the Sealed Realm. Who are you referring to? Me? Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Moreover, the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain is also aware of the calamity aura and seems to have begun to take precautions. Could it be that they are aware of the situation within the Ancient Realm, or that the Eternal Great Tribulation is also a precursor to the New Realm?"

Despite his doubts, Chen Dengming had no intention of exchanging any words with the three of them.

To find out the inside story, the Nascent Soul of these three people, who will be captured later, will naturally know everything.

These three Nascent Soul clearly came from different Immortal Sect Dao Gate outside the realm, and the Technique Method and Law Treasure they used were not of the same kind.

At this moment, the three of them struggled desperately within the Heavenly Net, trying to break through Heavenly Net, but this only exhausted their own Law Power and hastened their death.

If they didn't struggle and only focused on resisting the Tribulation Mist, they might have been able to hold out for a little longer.

But at this moment, the three of them were attacking the Heavenly Net and resisting the erosion of the Tribulation Mist, so their Law Power was quickly depleted and they gradually became unable to hold on.

Even though Heavenly Net's connection with Chen Dengming weakened, it was not completely severed.

If Chen Dengming wants to enhance the power of the Heavenly Net, he only needs to channel more Immortal Celestial Dao Power into it.

These three Nascent Soul were no match for his immense Dao power.

Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea is up, the three Nascent Soul True Lord screamed one after another as their true bodies were eroded and perished in the Tribulation Mist.

Soon, only three Nascent Soul cultivators, along with their divine souls, were left in a state of panic, desperately begging for mercy.

With a thought, Chen Dengming manipulated the Heavenly Net to release all the Tribulation Mist, capturing only the three Nascent Soul and their belongings, and then brought them back in the net.

Several dozen breaths later.

Within the Ancient Realm.

Chen Dengming released three Nascent Soul Divine Soul to inquire about the current situation within the New Realm.

"Why do you call me the Sovereign of the Sealed Realm?"

The three Nascent Soul Nascent Soul were all terrified and filled with remorse.

They could have lived for two thousand years, but they were sent to patrol one of the areas on the outskirts of the Ancient Realm. Unexpectedly, they were so unlucky as to encounter the Sovereign of the Sealed Realm, resulting in the destruction of their Physical Body and their Nascent Soul falling into the hands of the Sovereign of the Sealed Realm.

Faced with Chen Dengming's question, the three Nascent Soul hesitated for a moment. One of them chose to reveal the situation, while the other two remained silent, suppressing their fear and observing the situation.

Those Non-Self kind will surely have different hearts.

With their intelligence, they naturally understood that falling into the hands of the Ancient Realm natives, the Sovereign of the Sealed Realm, would most likely lead to a miserable end.

Moreover, they had already discovered that the cultivation level of this Sovereign of the Sealed Realm did not seem to be the extremely terrifying late-stage or even perfect Dao Integration Realm expert as rumored, but rather Spirit Transformation.

This result left them with many doubts.

"Because I tore open the curtain to save Qu Shenzong last time, and also fought a great battle with Feng Lingzi, I am called the Sovereign of the Sealed Realm in the New Realm."

Chen Dengming was puzzled and speechless at the result given by one of the Nascent Soul cultivators.

It's true that he tore open the curtain to rescue Qu Shenzong, but what merit or Dao Integration Great Power like Feng Lingzi?

Moreover, this absurd news was spread by Feng Lingzi himself, who is claiming to be the Sovereign of the Sealed Realm. What is his intention in doing this?

"What is a boundary?" Chen Dengming continued to ask.

"The Ancient Realm is a completely closed High Antiquity Cultivation Star, hence it is called the Sealed Realm, while our New Realm is completely open. Except for a few Cultivation Star belonging to major Lineage, most Cultivation Star are open to each other."

"The Phoenix Cry Dao Domain has detected calamity energy? Could it be that your New Realm also has signs of Eternal Great Tribulation?"

"Yes, the news was reportedly confirmed by Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable himself. We have never experienced the specific situation and do not understand it at all. We only know that the Spiritual Qi of the major Cultivation Star is beginning to decline. The closer the Cultivation Star is to the edge of the Ancient Realm, the more frequent and serious this phenomenon is."

Some Cultivation Star even give rise to calamity energy, but we have never seen calamity energy until today."

"What is your purpose in appearing near the Ancient Realm? Who sent you?"

"After Senior Feng Lingzi revealed your existence to Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable, the Fengling Realm still established a monitoring team despite Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable's reluctance to make a big fuss."

Every Jiazi, each major sect and Lineage must send a Nascent Soul to join the surveillance team as an inspector, to come to this Cultivation Star on the edge of the Ancient Realm to observe the movements of the Ancient Realm and take precautions!

"It seems this Feng Lingzi has completely set its sights on me," Chen Dengming thought to himself.

"How many Dao Venerable, Dao Integration Realm cultivators, and Nascent Spirit Transformation do you have in the New Realm today?"

"We have three Dao Venerable in the New Realm. One of them is the Vast Sky Dao Venerable. It is said that he existed when the Five Great True Immortals of the Ancient Realm were at their peak, and he is the oldest Dao Venerable in the New Realm."

Secondly, there is the Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable, whose true form is a starry Kunwu ancient tree. He has lived for about eight thousand years and is the longest-living Dao Venerable besides the Vast Sky Dao Venerable.

Thirdly, there is Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, who is the youngest, only about four thousand years old. She is the most mysterious, and it is said that her true form is a phoenix, a divine beast born in the past. She had a great connection with a senior who was very likely to become Dao Venerable.

But later that senior disappeared, and it was at that time that Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable became the third Dao Venerable of the New Realm.

The three Great Dao Venerable each govern a Great Dao Domain, and each of the three Great Dao Inner Domain has hundreds, even thousands, of suitable Cultivation Star.

The Nascent Soul paused, glancing at Chen Dengming's expression, "As for Dao Integration Great Power, aside from the Devil Venerable Moluo has perished in the Ancient Realm and Senior Qing Mingzi, there are only twelve Dao Integration Great Power in the three Dao Inner Domain. Among them, the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain has the fewest, with only two currently, one of whom is Senior Feng Lingzi."

"As for the exact number of Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord, I don't know, but when the various Dao Domains were counting five hundred years ago, there were more than six hundred Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming inwardly gasped.

The number of powerful individuals within this New Realm is truly terrifying.

There are twelve more Dao Integration Great Power, and a terrifying six hundred or more Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord.

In the past, it was only two Dao Integration Masters, Mo Luo and Qing Mingzi, who led about a dozen Nascent Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord, who had already caused the Four Seas Four Regions and Four Regions to suffer repeated defeats and fall into enemy hands.

However, this number of powerful individuals is only a fraction of the total number in the entire New Realm.

Chen Dengming looked at the other two Nascent Soul and said, "Since you are both silent, it seems you have nothing to say or add. In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

Both Nascent Soul were stunned, "???"

They were merely observing the situation, letting their companion speak first to buy time. It wasn't that they didn't intend to say anything or add anything; who would willingly be so stubborn if they could suffer less?

But before they could explain, a blinding Silver Light appeared in Chen Dengming's eyes.

The illusory image of the Human Heart Hall appeared, and the faces of two Nascent Soul Flames, as a powerful Mental Strength invaded.

"Ah--"

The two Nascent Soul Divine Soul screamed in agony as Chen Dengming swiftly invaded their minds, rummaging through their secrets.

Such astonishing methods made the other Nascent Soul cultivator tremble with fear and lingering dread. Fortunately, he wisely spoke up first and revealed some information.

In any case, these messages were never said to be kept secret, and they weren't exactly top secret.

After a dozen or so breaths, the dazzling silver light in Chen Dengming's eyes faded, and he had gained a direct and in-depth understanding of the situation in the New Realm.

Currently, New Realm from Feng Lingzi has his eye on him, and the Phoenix Cry Dao Sect seemingly paying extra attention to him and the Ancient Realm because of the Saintess Huang Yun, other Dao Venerable and Dao Domains don't seem to be paying much attention to the Ancient Realm.

This put him at ease.

If the Ancient Realm, while dealing with the Eternal Great Tribulation, also faces the watchful eyes and threats from the New Realm, the situation will be extremely dire.

It's just the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain now; the Ancient Realm can still withstand it.

No matter how strong Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable is, he cannot lead two Dao Integration Realms to forcibly enter the Ancient Realm alone. The sleeping Heavenly Dao and the mad Divine Void are not to be underestimated either.

At this moment, due to his forceful mental invasion, the two Nascent Soul Divine Soul had already fallen into a coma.

"Your mission is complete."

Chen Dengming looked at the still conscious Nascent Soul and said, "Thank you for telling me what happened."

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul breathed a sigh of relief and was about to raise his hand in a gesture of respect when Chen Dengming's next words immediately made him extremely nervous again.

"Unfortunately, you are spies sent by Feng Lingzi of the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain. I'm sorry!"

Before the other party could respond, Chen Dengming raised his hand and grabbed.

The three Nascent Soul Divine Soul were instantly crushed into pure Nascent Soul Power, which he then fed directly to the giant deer on his body.

The giant deer let out a joyful cry and began to feast heartily, thoroughly enjoying itself.

To prevent New Realm Dao Integration Great Power Feng Lingzi from directly tracking down the three Nascent Soul and causing unnecessary trouble, he had no intention of leaving any survivors.

Chen Dengming turned around and glanced at the distant starry sky. Then he returned the three Nascent Soul True Lord's Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, as well as his many Law Treasure, robes, and Storage Bag, to the distant Tribulation Mist intact.

After all these Law Artifact Law Treasure had been corrupted, he then used the Divine Ability of "Fortune Shines Brightly Shining Brightly" to quickly descend and disappear into the distance.

With Fortune Shines Brightly, the probability of something terrible happening next is close to zero, and they will not encounter the mad and wandering Divine Void again as they did last time.

But the so-called "seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune" means that he avoided misfortune, and good fortune will follow misfortune.

If any cultivator from outside the realm dares to enter the Ancient Realm to investigate in a short period of time, they may encounter his auspicious signs, but become someone else's great misfortune.

Several days later.

A ripple suddenly appeared in the starry sky.

The next moment, the particles of cosmic energy collided at high speed and exploded.

A Star Chart emerged from a gap, and a gaunt old man stepped out. His robes were as if they were made of intertwined silk threads, exuding a complex and awe-inspiring aura.

The moment the old man appeared, his gaze fell on the Tribulation Mist drifting in the starry sky not far away. When he caught sight of a few tattered robes, Law Treasure, and Storage Bag floating outside the Tribulation Mist, the old man's brows furrowed.

"The calamity energy has turned into mist? These people were all dignified Nascent Soul True Lord, yet they all perished in the calamity energy?"

His gaze was deep as he looked toward the distant Ancient Realm. After a moment of contemplation, he raised his hand and grabbed, causing his robe, which resembled intricate lines, to suddenly radiate light.

"Seal up!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--

Countless threads, accompanied by a strange Dao power, instantly enveloped the vast Tribulation Mist, shrinking into a ball and flying back into the old man's hand.

This person was none other than Feng Lingzi, one of the two Dao Integration Great Power in the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain.

"Judging from the information these people reported beforehand, this thick Tribulation Mist must have emerged from within the Ancient Realm. These people came to investigate, but died inside the Tribulation Mist?"

Feng Lingzi frowned and pondered, his eyes filled with suspicion. He then examined the tattered robe and Law Treasure, finding only signs of severe erosion from the calamity energy. Even the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman was severely corroded, but there were no other clues.

His eyes flashed with divine light as he separated a portion of his mind and entered the Tribulation Mist to personally experience its power.

After a moment, Feng Lingzi regained his composure, his gaze turning somber and uncertain as he looked toward the location of the Ancient Realm.

"Although this Tribulation Mist is strong, it shouldn't be so strong that even the three of them, at the Nascent Soul, couldn't escape, let alone send out intelligence. Could it be..."

With his intelligence, he immediately guessed many possibilities.

However, none of these possibilities have any substantial basis, and it is impossible to truly determine which one it is.

"Now that this kind of Tribulation Mist is drifting out of the Ancient Realm, the situation is developing in a worse direction. The Ancient Realm must be on guard; we must contact Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable immediately."

As Feng Lingzi pondered, the Star Chart beneath his feet flashed, and his figure rapidly approached the edge of the Ancient Realm.

Soon, he was completely close to the edge of the Ancient Realm. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and his figure immediately slid down into it, about to throw the restrained Tribulation Mist back into the Ancient Realm.

However, at that moment, a terrifying pressure suddenly emanated from the mist below, and a blurry shadow wandered in the mist, seemingly attracted by something, and drifted over unconsciously.

"That spiritual power, that is..."

Feng Lingzi paused, his eyes narrowed, and his heart tightened.
