A Pot of Braised Dao Venerable! Cleaning Up the Mess

Sound of Time, Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, Divine Immobilization Technique, Heavenly Fire, Nine Heavens Divine Thunder

All the Heavenly Dao techniques that Tiandao Divine Void had comprehended when he was a true immortal were now being frantically transmitted into Chen Dengming's mind through the Heaven's Will and the will of the gods, and were being rapidly absorbed by his brain, which had been repeatedly injured and repaired.

His lifespan was rapidly depleted during this period as he repaired numerous brain cells.

However, compared to a lifespan of over 20,000 years, losing nearly a thousand years of lifespan is nothing.

After several dozen breaths...

On the contrary, Chen Dengming's brain became stronger and clearer as it was repaired and transformed, and the heavy burden of being in a daze gradually decreased to almost nothing.

The various messages flooding his mind were quickly organized and understood by him using his powerful mental calculation ability; he had already analyzed and understood a significant portion of them before even finishing receiving them.

After a hundred breaths.

As the Heavenly Dao withdrew its Heaven's Will, Divine Void also gradually withdrew its divine will.

An aged and increasingly weary voice came from the depths of chaos, entering Chen Dengming's mind.

"The great calamity has not yet been resolved. Remember, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Do not underestimate the New Realm. We all have no more strength left to deal with this calamity. The rest of the game is left to you, the missing piece, to fill in and finish."

As the transmission ended, the Heavenly Dao deep within the chaos, weary, closed its eyes and began to slumber.

Divine Void completely withdrew his divine will at this moment, and laughed maniacally, "What game is there? It's just an unfinished game, an unfinished game that even I, the god, am powerless to resolve. Who in this universe, in heaven and on earth, can resolve it? I don't believe it, I don't believe it."

He was speaking incoherently, muttering the words "I don't believe it," and then turned and left, seemingly reverting to his previous erratic and delirious state.

Many years later, when I came to my senses again, I realized it was all a ridiculous dream, and I began to believe that there are immortals in the world.

Chen Dengming watched as the Heavenly Dao fell into slumber once more and the Divine Void went mad again. He remained silent for a moment, pondering the Heavenly Dao's last words to him.

"When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact; this tells me not to neglect the New Realm. Is this a reminder to set aside my prejudices and that if the New Realm are in trouble, the Ancient Realm will also be affected?"

Chen Dengming's expression was strange.

Now that the Heavenly Dao has fallen asleep again and Divine Void remains mad, judging from their demeanor and the act of jointly bestowing their inheritance, they seem to have already recognized him as the variable in the missing piece of the game of Heaven and Earth, and the key to resolving the great calamity in the future.

And he had even more confidence in himself than he did in himself.

Or perhaps, these two powerful Divine Ability, now increasingly mired in depravity due to their declining power, have foreseen that they may not be able to overcome this calamity on their own, and thus place their hopes on this variable.

"Variables. It seems that I was one of those celestial beings and immortals who, during their struggle for power, pierced through space-time, causing the Myriad Mother Qi to enter the chaotic space-time, and thus inexplicably traveled here."

In terms of potential or talent, without the Myriad Mother Qi, I seem to be quite ordinary. The only thing I might be slightly better about is my temperament.

But that's clearly not enough to be considered a good indicator. Non-Self possess some hidden potential that I haven't even discovered myself?

Chen Dengming subconsciously touched his cheek, then shook his head, unable to think of any other special potential he might possess.

He immediately stopped thinking about it, rubbed his still throbbing temples, turned around and flew towards Dongfang Huayuan two.

"Amitabha!"

Seeing Chen Dengming's figure flying over, the Living Buddha Venerable clasped his hands together and murmured a Buddhist chant, saying, "Benefactor Chen has once again averted a catastrophe for the Ancient Realm, preventing the lives of the Ancient Realm from being annihilated. He is truly benevolent and his merits are immeasurable!"

At this moment, he had returned to his original form from the ten-thousand-foot Buddha body. He was now a tall, thin monk dressed entirely in white Buddhist robes, with a bald head as smooth as a mirror. Although thin, his bone structure was large and imposing. Beneath a pair of long white eyebrows, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, giving him a kind and benevolent appearance.

This was Chen Dengming's first time seeing the true form of this Buddha, and he wasn't too impressed to hear the Buddha speak kindly to him upon meeting him.

This old bald man often does things in a sneaky and underhanded way. He can suddenly appear out of nowhere, and when you need to find someone, he disappears without a trace. He is truly a man of the underworld.

However, at this moment, the old Buddha did indeed step in to help; otherwise, the situation of Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong might have been even more dire.

Moreover, the fact that the other party gave him the Seven Souls Prayer Beads and single-handedly held back the demon realm shows that he is an unconventional but compassionate Buddha.

Chen Dengming immediately responded politely.

"It is clear that the Buddha also cares about the world. Just now, the Heavenly Dao senior transmitted a message to me, informing me that the great calamity has not yet been resolved, and that the calamity is even in the New Realm, not in the Ancient Realm."

"Does the Buddha have any good plan to avert this calamity?"

"Amitabha!"

The Living Buddha Venerable lowered his eyebrows and chanted the Buddha's name in a peaceful tone. Although his voice was not loud, it had a profound power. He twirled the Prayer Beads in his hand, counting them one by one, as if he were calculating something.

Chen Dengming's gaze sharpened slightly upon seeing this.

This old Buddha is, after all, a figure who has lived for ten thousand years.

When that Eternal Great Tribulation erupted, this Buddha also suffered from the calamity and was swallowed by a ghost immortal's soul, but he ultimately escaped danger and survived to this day. Perhaps he really does have some profound insights.

However, after a short while, the Living Buddha Venerable sighed and shook his head, saying, "Benefactor Chen, this humble monk is not strong enough and really cannot think of any good solution. However, our Buddha emphasizes the law of fate. Everything in the world is within the scope of the word 'fortuitous opportunity.' Life is based on the pull of 'fate,' and so is its destruction."

Perhaps the solution to this catastrophe lies within the New Life itself.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming felt a headache coming on. He stared blankly at the solemn and dignified expression of the Living Buddha Venerable, unsure whether the old monk was just spouting nonsense or had actually foreseen something.

He didn't ask any more questions. After exchanging a few words, he made a hand seal and created several clones, which flew to the edge of the Ancient Realm Outer Heaven to check on the situation of the many cultivators who had formed the great formation in the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain and to clean up the mess.

He then summoned the Flesh and Blood and blood that had been immobilized by the phoenix-shaped jade talisman and the Fire Parasol Staff, and left with Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong, who were still unrecognizable as carbonized figures.

Although this battle at the Dao Venerable level has ended, its impact has not yet subsided.

Although the battle broke out in the Outer Heaven, the aftershocks of the previous battle have already affected his Dao Domain, and will certainly also impact the Spirit Thunder Layer and the Spiritual Qi Wind Layer. The Ancient Realm may also be affected to some extent, which needs to be handled properly.

In addition, the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain has lost the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable, and coupled with the impact of the previous battle, the Dao Domain may undergo tremendous changes. The living and cultivation environments of the large number of cultivators and mortals living in the Dao Domain may face huge changes.

Two incense sticks in advance.

At the moment when Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable was completely annihilated and perished, not only did a wisp of Karma Red Lotus Fire follow the cause-and-effect connection and entangle Divine Void.

A large amount of Karma Red Lotus Fire suddenly appeared deep within a planet in the New Realm Territories universe, filled with surging calamity.

Deep within this planet, there was a giant shrouded in surging calamity and Karma. His features were blurred, and a large amount of Karma Red Lotus Fire suddenly sprang forth from the Karma surrounding him, transforming into a fire phoenix with a long, resentful cry, and then into the appearance of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.

The blurry figure's gaze fell upon the face of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable amidst the Karma Fire, where invisible causal lines formed by a vast amount of Karma seemed to entangle the past and the present.

In the past, Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable had shattered his body and had many entanglements with his original self.

These entanglements all become part of the cycle of cause and effect, contributing to Karma and transforming into Karma Fire.

He stretched out his enormous palm, and boundless Karma Fire rapidly gathered in his palm, forming the image of a red Karma Fire phoenix, which appeared on his palm and suddenly raised its head, letting out a high-pitched cry full of ferocity.

The Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol gazed at the Karma Fire phoenix in its palm. A hint of malevolence formed by calamity appeared in its usually calm eyes, and it spoke in a low voice.

"You have cultivated your Phoenix Cry Dao Domain for many years; now it's time to reap the rewards! Only fruits accumulated through tribulation energy will be truly bountiful."

He suddenly opened his enormous palm.

The Karma Fire Phoenix suddenly let out a high-pitched cry, spreading its wings and flying away with astonishing Karma Fire Calamity Qi, heading straight for the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain.

Within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm.

On a towering sacred mountain, covered in snow, ancient snow lotuses bloom everywhere.

Chen Dengming sat cross-legged atop the peak, using the power of the Dao Domain to carefully examine the Flesh and Blood of Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable. After confirming that there was no residual will within the Flesh and Blood, he breathed a sigh of relief.

What actually reassured him most wasn't this recent examination.

Previously, neither the Heavenly Dao nor the Divine Void had expressed any opinion regarding this mass of Flesh and Blood.

This indicates that there is indeed no longer any trace of the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable in this mass of Flesh and Blood; only the incomparably pure phoenix Flesh and Blood and blood and Dao power remain.

Even though Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable had long since perished, this mass of Flesh and Blood was still full of vitality, its surface glowing with a misty light, and occasionally bursting forth with a cluster of Phoenix Dao Fire.

The blood in the Flesh and Blood was originally crimson, but now it seemed to have cooled and turned golden.

Golden blood emerged amidst the red Flesh and Blood, the red and gold intermingled with mysterious Dao patterns. Some bones were incredibly crystalline, with bone marrow flowing within them like liquid gold. Apart from the bloodstains, the entire mass of Flesh and Blood was almost spotless, carrying a sense of holiness and purity!

Even though it was just Flesh and Blood, it still exuded a faint Dao Venerable aura, which made people feel depressed.

"If I eat this lump of meat, will I turn into a birdman too?"

Chen Dengming made a self-deprecating remark to ease the psychological discomfort and repression caused by this Dao Venerable meat.

This feeling is something everyone experiences. For example, when ordinary people eat delicacies like crocodile meat, snake meat, or bear paws, they instinctively feel a sense of oppression and discomfort.

However, Chen Dengming did not intend to eat it directly. Instead, he braised it in a large pot, refining the Flesh and Blood into a golden pill before consuming it, which would also help with rapid absorption.

However, refining this mass of Flesh and Blood, even though it no longer possesses any will, is no easy task.

After all, this Flesh and Blood naturally possesses immunity to the Phoenix Dao Fire; otherwise, it would be much easier to handle.

"If we're talking about alchemy, the Five Elements Dao Lord of the Five Elements Escape Sect is the most skilled. But this is, after all, the Flesh and Blood of Dao Venerable; I wonder if he can offer any unique insights."

Chen Dengming was not in a hurry.

If all else fails, then the only remaining option is to use time as the ultimate method of alchemy to refine it.

He has the advantage of Heavenly Timing; he has no shortage of time.

Moreover, the golden flames condensed from the phoenix-shaped jade talisman are suspected to be condensed from the Phoenix Dao Fire, and their power is far superior to that of the Phoenix Dao Fire.

He had tried it before; the golden flames could burn and shake Flesh and Blood, but at that rate of burning, it would obviously take a very long time to completely refine it.

Chen Dengming planned to first familiarize himself with the Phoenix-shaped Jade Talisman, and then enter the Heavenly Timing, while simultaneously refining the Fire Parasol Staff and the flesh and Flesh and Blood.

During this period, he also needed to be distracted and multitask, digesting and comprehending the Dao of Heavenly Dao and the Daoist traditions passed down to him by the Divine Void, and comprehending immortal techniques.

Handling so many things at the same time, even if Chen Dengming could multitask, still felt overwhelmed.

Especially at this time, the many clones that had been separated also sent messages, reporting on the progress of their respective tasks.

Five of the clones that went to the Spirit Thunder Layer, the Human World, and the Ghost Realm to investigate the post-war situation all transmitted messages through their minds, informing the audience of the specific details of the post-war disaster.

The Spirit Thunder Layer and Spiritual Qi Wind Layer above the Human World have suffered extensive damage, causing frequent heavenly lightning and winds to descend upon the Human World, making Human World current living and cultivation environment even more harsh, and the calamity energy has begun to breed again.

The Ghost Realm fared much better, barely affected at all. With the help of the Little Array Spirit, its situation was kept very stable.

Meanwhile, another clone that flew to the outside of the Ancient Realm to investigate the situation encountered an unexpected incident and was captured by a former formidable rival, now a junior.

Sensing this situation, Chen Dengming's expression turned strange, and he sent a wisp of his Divine Sense will into that clone.

In an instant.

In the New Realm Territories, Huang Yun, who had just captured Chen Dengming's clone and was about to interrogate him, was startled.

She suddenly felt a terrifying and chilling aura emanating from Chen Dengming, Immortal Binding Rope. The moment his eyes fixed on her with a sharp light, it was captivating, like a cold, solid knife piercing the depths of her soul.

"You"

Huang Yun's pretty face changed drastically. Her heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and she suddenly felt a strong sense of weakness and powerlessness. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she immediately tried to retreat.

"Stop!"

Chen Dengming let out a cold shout, his eyes like two electric torches, and the will contained in his voice had a terrifying mind control power that made his words seem like magic. Coupled with his white hair parted in the middle and hanging down to his broad shoulders, and his crystal clear skin, he was like a light in the dark universe, with an unusual and evil magic power.

Huang Yun's delicate body trembled violently, her phoenix eyes filled with fear and hatred as she stared intently at Chen Dengming, gritting her teeth and shouting coldly.

It's you!

Chen Dengming smiled calmly, put his hands behind his back, and said, "It's me. Long time no see. I didn't expect you to still be so bold. Knowing that this is my clone, you still dared to try to capture me."

A flame seemed to ignite in Huang Yun's Huang Yun eyes—a flame of humiliation, a flame of furious murderous intent. Her chest heaved, and she mustered her courage to roar, "How is my master now?"

Chen Dengming said calmly, "Dead! His soul and spirit are completely destroyed; only a lump of Flesh and Blood remains."

Huang Yun felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her heart trembled and her pretty face turned pale. She was about to shout that it was impossible.

However, at that very moment, Chen Dengming's clone, who had been standing motionless, suddenly had his robes flutter without wind, his white hair flying, and a pair of clear black and white eyes that seemed to see through all secrets, or like two vortexes flashing with brilliant light, full of the magic to control people's hearts, attracting Huang Yun's eyes like a magnet.

In that instant when the opponent's mind faltered, he had already penetrated the depths of the opponent's mind through his clone, exercising mind control and planting the seeds of Mind Enslavement.

In the realm of psychological warfare, stirring up the enemy's emotions to cause them to lose their composure and breach their mental defenses is an incredibly simple tactic.

Unfortunately, many people, even knowing that anger and impulsiveness are devils, still find it difficult to control themselves, giving others an opportunity to take advantage of them.

However, in the blink of an eye, the situation had reversed.

Even though Chen Dengming only attacked through a clone, Huang Yun, who was at the peak of the Nascent Spirit Transformation realm, could still be easily enslaved and subdued.

With his mental power, he can disregard the distance of time and space. He only needs an avatar as a medium to transmit his mind to exert most of his mental power. Even those who have reached the Dao must treat this with caution, let alone those who have reached the Spirit Transformation stage.

Soon, Huang Yun's mind was conquered and enslaved.

Chen Dengming said calmly, "Go back to the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain and act as my eyes and ears, helping me observe the situation there!"
