507: Tribulation Cultivator Comparable to a Cultivation Star! Sealing Dao Integration Great Powers
In any case, the Immortal King's Mansion, a powder keg containing two gunpowder barrels, has been thrown out of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and out of the Ancient Realm.
Even if the Eternal Great Tribulation is indeed triggered by this and begins in the New Realm, Chen Dengming and others have already bought some buffer time and space for the Ancient Realm.
As for what will happen in the future, no one can say for sure.
Now, the only thing we can do is seize this buffer time and space we've gained, continue to grow stronger, and prepare for the inevitable.
It must be said that human nature is indeed selfish.
Even immortals can be selfish, because immortals were originally human.
Faced with the choice between the safety of the New Realm and the Ancient Realm, Chen Dengming would naturally choose the Ancient Realm without hesitation.
Because the Ancient Realm contains his relatives and friends, his Dao domain, countless people who lent him their Mental Strength when he used the Unity of All Hearts, and numerous Incense Believer who worship his incarnations.
Qu Shenzong patted Chen Dengming on the shoulder and said, "Since you've already chosen to throw the Immortal King's Mansion out, let the New Realm Dao Venerable have a headache now. There's no point in thinking about it too much."
At least the Heavenly Dao Blood is in the New Realm, so far away, it can't possibly arouse the Heavenly Dao Lord."
"Um."
Chen Dengming nodded. At this moment, he also sensed that the Heavenly Dao, which had shown signs of awakening earlier, had fallen into slumber again, and he felt somewhat relieved.
He looked at Qu Shenzong and Dongfang Huayuan, bowed, and smiled, "Thank you both very much this time."
"Don't stand on ceremony here. I won't be so polite with you in the future."
Dongfang Huayuan waved his hand impatiently, then looked around the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and sighed with his hands behind his back.
"This Heavenly Immortal Realm may be a bit dilapidated, but it's wonderful. The air you breathe is filled with Immortal Spiritual Energy. If you manage it well in the future, the Immortal Spiritual Energy here will become increasingly abundant, and it might even be restored to its High Antiquity glory."
Qu Shenzong watched all this with mixed feelings of complex emotions and satisfaction, and was also filled with emotion and sighs.
In the past, he and Lu Xiucheng had been fighting openly and secretly for many years. Their ultimate dream was to win the chance to the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and enter the Dao Integration Realm.
But when it came to confronting external enemies, the two shook hands and made peace, showing each other humility, until conditions no longer allowed them to merge with the Dao through the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Seeing that the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm has finally found a new Dao Lord and regained its Life Force, he was filled with many emotions.
Soon, Chen Dengming saw off Qu Shenzong and Dongfang Huayuan, instructing them to keep a close eye on the situation in the mortal Human World and the ghost realm. He then began to continue laying the foundation for his Dao within the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Now that the Immortal King's Mansion, an extremely unstable and dangerous factor, has been eliminated, laying the foundation for one's Dao is proceeding smoothly without any further obstacles.
At this rate, Chen Dengming will be able to completely control the entire Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm and become the true Dao Lord of the Heavenly Immortal Realm in just three months.
Just as this Dao Domain was rapidly covering the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he multitasked, creating numerous clones.
One of his clones took out the Five Elements Daoist Techniques contributed by the Five Elements Escape Sect and began to comprehend them, hoping to fully unleash the potential of his Daoist body's Five Elements Spirit Root.
Even though one's strength has reached the Dao Integration realm, the advantage of Spiritual Root Potential has become negligible among powerful cultivators of the same realm.
However, comprehending the Five Elements Daoist methods with all five elements Spirit Root can still provide some assistance, and may even greatly benefit the development of the Daoist domain.
Besides sending a clone to comprehend the Five Elements Dao, Chen Dengming also personally summoned the Heavenly Fortune Hall to check on the damaged Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus and the current state of Heavenly Fortune Qi's recovery.
As the saying goes, fortune may be the harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be the harbinger
Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent; misfortune may turn into good fortune, and good fortune may turn into misfortune. This has been seen countless times throughout history and in all things. For example, the old man who lost his horse may have known it was a blessing in disguise.
Therefore, by observing the state of the recovery of Heavenly Fortune Qi, one can also observe the development of corresponding calamities.
With Chen Dengming's current understanding of Tianfu Dao, combined with divination, he can almost make some predictions and avoid misfortune.
At this moment, in his observation, Heavenly Fortune Qi, which had been greatly depleted before, had not recovered and showed no signs of recovery whatsoever.
Chen Dengming's expression gradually became solemn. As he made calculations with his five fingers, the Heavenly Disk Nine Stars appeared above his head, the Human Disk Eight Gates appeared behind him, and the Dao Domain below him transformed into the Nine Palaces of the Earthly Plate.
In an instant, the nine stars, eight gates, and nine palaces appeared together.
The Earth Plate remains stationary, the Heavenly Disk Nine Stars rotate in unison, and the Human Plate resides in the center to observe the changes in heaven and earth.
This confirms that the celestial plate is dynamic, like the heavens in motion, while the terrestrial plate is static, like the earth at rest.
Movement is yang, stillness is yin; change occurs only when yin and yang interact.
Chen Dengming looked up at the sky and saw the Heavenly Disk Nine Stars rotating and changing in a complex and unpredictable manner, as if the will of Heaven's Will was unfathomable and elusive. His expression became solemn and his brows furrowed deeply.
Is the will of Heaven's Will unpredictable because the calamities have shifted beyond the heavens, or is there another reason?
"Heaven gives birth to all things and also kills all things; fortune and misfortune are determined by Heaven; great kindness arises from no kindness received."
Chen Dengming pondered deeply, his eyes flashing with divine light, gradually hardening. "Now that I am the Dao Lord of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and the Heavenly Dao is asleep, I am Heaven itself. Fortune and misfortune are determined by me. If I wish to protect the world, I can act with complete self-reliance."
Once this thought and resolve were made, a violent storm erupted between heaven and earth, captivating all who beheld it.
Wind and thunder represent the actions of Heaven.
Thunder in the hexagram Zhen represents the majesty of heaven, while wind in the hexagram Xun represents the mandate of heaven.
Now that Chen Dengming's mind is made up, it is as if the heavens have issued a command, forming a will of its own. This will will, in the future, influence the entire Human World and even the ghost realm as the Dao Domain stabilizes and takes shape.
Just as Chen Dengming was seizing the time to establish his Dao Domain.
Within the New Realm, a calamity was unleashed by a terrifying, ten-thousand-foot-tall demon god, affecting multiple Cultivation Star.
Six months later.
In the New Realm, a somewhat desolate Cultivation Star shimmered in the dim starry sky. Suddenly, a series of whooshing sounds pierced through the outer layer of the Cultivation Star and appeared in front of the teleportation array on the floating island outside the Cultivation Star.
The teleportation array quickly lit up, and suddenly a powerful spiritual force emanated from within it, causing the entire Cultivation Star to fall silent.
Then, the many cultivators who rushed in immediately bowed deeply with utmost respect.
"A cultivator from the Blue-eyed Cultivation Star pays respects to Senior Feng Lingzi!"
Boom!--
Suddenly, a dazzling pillar of light rose from the teleportation array. Within the pillar, countless fine cosmic energies collided wildly. A figure radiating intense spiritual power slowly floated out from within the pillar, his long sleeves fluttering as his eyes shone with boundless majesty.
A sturdy old man stepped out from the pillar of light and walked through the starry sky, making the spiritual power even stronger.
Many cultivators involuntarily bent their bodies even lower, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
The old man surveyed the many cultivators who had come to pay their respects with an air of authority, nodded slightly in satisfaction, and said in a deep voice.
"This matter is of great importance and urgency, and I cannot linger here any longer. Where is that Bandit Cultivator who stirred up this calamity?"
Among the many cultivators, a Nascent Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord immediately flew out, bowed respectfully, and said, "Senior Feng Lingzi, that Bandit Cultivator only left Mingyue Star two months ago. The Lin family and the Five Clouds Sect on Mingyue Star have both suffered great calamities. Now the place is filled with tribulation energy and is not suitable for cultivation. The entire star has begun to migrate. Dao Your Majesty is now severely injured and his whereabouts are unknown."
In the end, the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord's expression turned solemn, and he looked sorrowful.
A cold glint flashed in Feng Lingzi. He frowned and sneered, "This Bandit Cultivator is truly audacious, but his strength is indeed not to be underestimated. He's probably already at the peak of the Nascent Spirit Transformation realm. I will indeed need to personally take action. Tell me, where is he? I will personally seal him away!"
The term "Bandit Cultivator" refers to cultivators who, in recent years, have been defined by the New Realm as those who have caused disasters.
Because Eternal Great Tribulation is imminent, the birth of any disaster will increase the calamity's energy and hasten its Eternal Great Tribulation.
Therefore, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable personally issued an order that any cultivator who instigates disaster will be regarded as Bandit Cultivator, and all cultivators in the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain have the right to capture or kill them.
"Reporting to Senior, how is that Bandit Cultivator now?"
Just as the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord was about to speak, he suddenly looked at the distant starry sky with a look of horror.
Feng Lingzi had sensed something a moment earlier, and almost simultaneously turned around to see a humanoid shadow striding towards them in the starry sky.
With each step, the figure traversed an immense distance, rapidly approaching and gradually revealing a terrifying figure almost the size of a small Cultivation Star, exuding an extremely powerful aura of oppression, danger, horror, and madness.
His entire body was enveloped in a dense and terrifying aura of calamity, exuding a frenzied energy. His face was shrouded in rolling black calamity energy, making it impossible to discern his specific features. However, his rough skin, which occasionally appeared, resembled parched earth, and there was even a chilling aura of age flowing through his body.
His eyes were filled with a frenzied, crimson light, and as he strode forward, though no sound was uttered, it gave the impression of thunder.
The arrival of this giant, comparable to a colossal Cultivation Star, brought an unparalleled visual shock and intense sense of oppression.
This was the first time that many Blue-Eyed Star cultivators had ever seen such a massive and terrifying creature. They felt as if a fierce storm was sweeping in, and the intense pressure and impact caused them to involuntarily retreat.
Compared to the beings on this vast Cultivation Star, the numerous cultivators were as insignificant as ants, not to mention the terrifying aura of tribulation and madness that permeated their entire bodies.
Only Feng Lingzi, after his initial shock, revealed a strange glint in his eyes as he stared at the approaching Bandit Cultivator. His expression gradually became serious, and after taking a deep breath, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.
"I never imagined that there would be someone like you in this world who could cultivate the Qi of Calamity? This is truly a rare find. It's a pity that you haven't yet achieved Dao, and are no match for me."
"Once I capture you, I'll see just how you managed to do it."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hands, his sleeves fluttering without wind. In a swift hand seal, an extremely pure Dao power formed colorful threads that rushed towards the approaching Bandit Cultivator as if splitting the starry sky.
"Seal off the heavens and cover the earth!"
Buzz!--
The vast amount of cosmic energy in the starry sky rapidly converged into the threads, quickly forming towering, multicolored walls, like square boxes, which were about to seal the ten-thousand- Bandit Cultivator within.
The ten-thousand- Bandit Cultivator suddenly unleashed two crimson and frenzied bolts of lightning from his eyes, which shot directly onto the multicolored giant wall.
The colossal wall roared and trembled, crackling with crimson Thunderbolt Arc, yet it did not collapse. Instead, it bound and sealed off the crimson Thunderbolt Arc, and then continued to Bandit Cultivator.
In the blink of an eye, the colorful walls of confinement completely sealed the ten-thousand-foot- Bandit Cultivator within, and the oppressive and mad aura instantly vanished.
Upon seeing this, the many Blue-Eyed Star cultivators on the floating island all breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in unison, "Senior Feng Lingzi is mighty!" and "Senior Divine Ability Feng Lingzi is incredibly powerful!"
Feng Lingzi smiled and was about to press down with his palms to shrink the seal, but in an instant his expression changed drastically, and he stared at the seal wall that was rapidly turning black as if it had been dyed with ink.
A terrifying surge of calamity energy rapidly eroded the sealing wall, and even astonishing Karma quickly entangled Feng Lingzi.
"Karma?!"
Feng Lingzi's expression changed drastically. His figure suddenly shifted and fluctuated, then exploded and disappeared like a firework, simultaneously neutralizing the Karma that had been entangled with him.
The next moment, his aura changed, and he appeared above the sealing wall, solemnly making a hand seal.
A circular, colorful imprint suddenly appeared, and behind it, the phantom of a vast realm emerged, instantly emanating a terrifying pressure that could suppress all ages.
Boom!--
In that brief instant, the entire starry sky, including the slowly rotating Cultivation Star, seemed to freeze for a moment.
Space seemed frozen and confined, and time itself appeared to stand still.
This circular seal, however, was unrestricted and swiftly moved downwards to seal away the calamity energy along with the contaminated sealing wall.
However, as time went by, the circular seal seemed to be constantly moving downwards, and the distance along this "path" seemed to be infinitely extended, never reaching its destination.
But this doesn't mean the space has been extended; rather...
"Time has slowed down? He can actually manipulate the flow of time to slow it down?"
A look of shock appeared in Feng Lingzi's eyes, an expression he hadn't shown on his face for many years.
What shocked him last time was the Sovereign of the Sealed Realm who tore open the curtain with his bare hands and rescued someone from his grasp.
But it was ultimately confirmed by Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable that the Sovereign of the Sealed Realm was nothing more than a clown.
Now, he has once again encountered a powerful opponent who has shocked him.
The shocking thought flashed through Feng Lingzi's mind for only a moment before he sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to withdraw the circular seal and retreat.
But at this tense moment, the ink-black wall of confinement suddenly cracked open.
A gigantic hand, blotting out the sky and filled with calamity, broke through the sealing wall and swiftly reached out to grab him.
Feng Lingzi even sensed a fluctuation of Dao power deep within the giant palm, and his expression changed drastically.
"Harmony with the Dao?!"
He took the round seal and retreated rapidly.
However, the giant hand seemed to expand infinitely, covering the sky and earth, as if the sky were collapsing, making it hard to breathe and impossible to escape, like a mountain pressing down on a monkey.
Feng Lingzi had not felt such intense pressure in a long time.
But the most crucial thing was the overwhelming aura of calamity filled with Karma, which terrified him and forced him to avoid it without fear.
He suddenly touched the space between his eyebrows, and deep within that space, the magnificent phantom of the Sealed Spirit Realm appeared and flickered.
A vast and magnificent power of the Dao ignited as he moved his fingers away from his brow.
A colorful flame spiraled upward from its fingertip, forming a butterfly that flew towards the overwhelming giant hand reaching out to grab it.
The Butterfly of the Sealed Realm!
With a mere flap of its wings, the surging calamity seemed to solidify in the void, covered by layers of colorful light, like solidified, magnificent crystal.
With another swipe, the massive, overwhelming hand that had been grabbing at the sky froze inch by inch, covered in a dazzling array of colors, which rapidly spread toward the Bandit Cultivator's enormous body.
"Fine!"
Feng Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of caution appearing in his eyes, before preparing to distance himself again and retreat.
But in the next instant, the endless, boundless black energy mixed with the tribulation energy rapidly assimilated and devoured the colorful Dao power, and the giant hand that was solidified inch by inch quickly turned black.
"Not good!"
Feng Lingzi gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke. Suddenly, he clapped his hands together, and his aura changed drastically once more, as if he were about to turn into a firework and disappear.
But in that fleeting moment, a black and white flower appeared above his head.
Feng Lingzi felt his Life Force rapidly draining away, and his long lifespan seemed to be being consumed at an accelerated pace. His increasingly slowed energy suddenly stopped.
He looked up in horror.
Boom!--
A mad, scarlet bolt of lightning tore through all the colorful sealing forces almost simultaneously, and a gigantic, pitch-black hand slammed down as if the sky were collapsing.
Between the giant hands, a slowly rotating spherical prison suddenly descended.
"No!!"
Feng Lingzi roared, and the aura of his Dao Domain between his brows became even more powerful and solid, violently shattering the black and white flowers above his head. His aura changed rapidly, and the Technique Method was about to succeed.
But at this critical moment, the overwhelming calamity and Karma had already enveloped him, converging into a phantom resembling a black lotus platform. Affected by the calamity and bad luck, his Technique Method suddenly failed at the most unlikely moment.
Boom!
Feng Lingzi's figure was instantly swallowed up by the spherical prison.
The most Dao Integration Great Power in sealing techniques in the New Realm was instead sealed himself.
This is simply ironic.
The many cultivators on the floating island of Blue-Eyed Star not far away were so shocked by what they saw that they were almost scared out of their wits, feeling as if the sky had truly collapsed.
The Phoenix Cry Dao Domain currently only has two Dao Integration Great Power, Feng Lingzi, this Dao Integration Great Power, was actually sealed by this terrifying Bandit Cultivator.
Who exactly is this Bandit Cultivator?
A large number of Blue-Eyed Star cultivators immediately began to retreat. Some quickly activated their Star Chart, wanting to escape as soon as possible, already sensing that great calamity was imminent.
However, it was too late; the entire Sky Dome of Blue-Eyed Star had darkened.
The tens of thousands of Bandit Cultivator strode forward as if trying to capture stars and the moon. With his hands raised high, the spherical prison that had devoured Feng Lingzi spun wildly and grew larger, emitting a vast amount of tribulation energy and a terrifying aura. It quickly became even larger than Blue Eye Star.
Boom!--
As Bandit Cultivator lowered his hands, the giant spherical prison immediately began to engulf the entire Blue-Eyed Star.
(The update will be a bit late tomorrow, I have some things to take care of.)
I'm recommending a friend's new book: Who says sword immortals are hard to train? Just leave it running!
