Comprehending Immortal Method! Dharma Idol Appears! Abandoned Child
A day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth.
In the Heavenly Timing, after more than four years, Chen Dengming finally raised his Dao power to the level of perfect Dao integration. He had also consumed nineteen Five-Colored Golden Core, leaving only fifteen.
At this point, his Dao Domain had transformed from illusion to reality, revealing an incredibly clear depiction of the specific terrain and myriad living beings within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm and Death. Furthermore, it formed a strong mutual attraction with the power of the Dao Domain that had been injected into the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm.
Within the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, various rare and precious treasures are born from Life Energy, which in turn gives rise to Immortal Spiritual Energy.
These Immortal Spiritual Energy will then flow into his Dao Domain, increasing his Dao Power.
His Dao power will, in turn, strengthen the Outer Dao domain that he has penetrated into the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, making the Dao domain more solid and its rules more stable.
This is a perfect cultivation cycle.
When one's Dao power accumulates to a certain level, one must comprehend a rule that can be used outside of one's Dao domain. Once this rule is born, it will allow the Dao domain within the body to completely interact with the Outer Dao in terms of space and time, condensing into a Dao land.
This is the moment when one achieves the status of Dao Venerable.
"My Dao power is now completely perfected. Next, I will study the Dao lineages of Celestial Immortals and Divine Immortals, comprehend the immortal techniques of both paths, and then research the Five-Colored Divine Fire that I have mastered!"
Chen Dengming felt the abundant Dao power flowing between his Dao Domain and Dao Body, and pondered in his heart.
Four years have passed within this Heavenly Timing, while only four days have passed in the outside world.
Further study of Daoist magic and immortal arts might only require one or two years in the outside world.
However, the only concern is that Heavenly Timing the environment for his cultivation for one or two years requires an enormous amount of immortal Immortal Spiritual Energy, which the current Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm cannot sustain.
After all, he was already Dao Integration Dao Master. The influence of the Heavenly Timing on him placed him in a state of rapid change in the flow of time, resulting in extremely astonishing losses.
After much deliberation, Chen Dengming concluded that the only way to stabilize the Heavenly Timing and avoid significant harm to himself was to take another Five-Colored Golden Core.
This would waste a Five-Colored Golden Core, but it is the best and most direct solution to the problem at this stage.
The Ancient Realm is still too lacking in resources, and the Human World is about to fall into Age of Dharma Decline with scarce Spiritual Qi.
Even though it is his Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm, because he has not been enlightened for long, the immortal Immortal Spiritual Energy he has accumulated is still far from restoring the glory of the High Antiquity times.
For Chen Dengming, a hundred or two hundred years of cultivation time is nothing at all.
In fact, he could have simply gone into seclusion for one or two hundred years without needing the Heavenly Timing, which would have saved resources to the greatest extent and prevented the depletion of so much Immortal Spiritual Energy.
But now, with a great calamity looming Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol causing trouble, even the mysterious Vast Sky Dao Venerable is reminding him to seize the opportunity to break through.
Under the influence of all these factors, Chen Dengming knew that time could not be delayed.
It's hard to imagine how powerful the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol will be in a hundred or two hundred years.
However, a window of one or two years can still be created.
Chen Dengming immediately consumed another Five-Colored Golden Core, refining the abundant Dao power within it and slowly dispersing it to stabilize the Heavenly Timing environment.
At the same time, he began to multitask, comprehending the Immortal Celestial Lineage and the Immortal Way.
Of these two major lineages, he had already mastered ninety percent of the Immortal Celestial Lineage, and only needed to comprehend the two great immortal techniques Sound of Time and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
The Immortal Way only includes the portion that was comprehended by the Incense Clone of the past, and only 20% has been mastered. Comprehending it is extremely time-consuming and requires a great deal of effort.
At the same time.
In this Human World.
Several streaks of light streaked across the sky, flying swiftly over the boundless plains, and finally hovering above a mountain range with a slightly spiritual aura after crossing the plains.
In the flat and wide areas surrounding the mountains and among the mountains, there are many fairy Marketplace and mortal towns scattered like stars. Occasionally, a spiritual light will appear from the mountain peaks and then quickly descend.
The light in the air subsided slightly, revealing the figures of one man and two women. One of the women, a dignified and beautiful woman with a voluptuous and graceful figure, frowned and said...
"My Husband, in this vast area, only the mountain range near where you once inscribed the Blessing Stele still possesses considerable Spiritual Qi."
In most other areas, the Spiritual Qi in the air is so thin that it can be ignored. If this continues, I'm afraid the number of cultivators born in the Human World will continue to decline sharply year by year.
The man with white hair at his temples nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "The speed at which the calamity energy has increased in recent years has been getting faster and faster. Even though I have tried my best to stop it, it is not my own body that is taking action, so it is difficult to fully take care of the entire Human World and the ghost realm."
Fortunately, Dongfang is cooperating with me. Given the current situation, I have more important things to do, so I can only postpone it for another two years."
"Junior Brother, are you really confident that you can break through to that realm within two years?"
Another woman, with a cool demeanor and slender figure, gazed at the man with a slight flicker in her bright eyes.
This man was, of course, an avatar of Chen Dengming.
Several years ago, Chen Dengming created two clones. One of the clones went to the Longevity Sect to accompany the two young ladies, while also clearing away the newly added calamity energy in the Human World and the Ghost Realm on behalf of the main body.
Unfortunately, the clone's abilities are limited. Even though it can draw upon the power of the Dao Domain, there is still an upper limit, and its speed in processing newly generated tribulation energy is not particularly fast.
Perhaps influenced by the fall of the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain in the New Realm, the growth rate of calamity energy within the Ancient Realm has been extremely fierce in recent years.
In both the Human World and the ghost realm, many areas have undergone repeated baptisms of calamity over the years, leaving their Spirit Vein depleted and broken, turning them into barren wastelands.
If this continues, the Ancient Realm will not only be extremely lacking in resources, but even areas with Spiritual Qi will become pitifully scarce.
This will also lead to the Ancient Realm becoming the second Nanxun, where it will be difficult for mortals to find people with Spirit Root, and cultivators will lack Spiritual Qi and resources for cultivation, making it difficult for them to break through to higher realms.
In response to Su Yan Yan's question, Chen Dengming's clone smiled and nodded as he looked back, "Senior Sister, my main body has already broken through to the Perfection of the Dao Integration Realm. After cultivating within the Heavenly Timing for two years, which is a full two hundred years, it should be enough time to break through that final hurdle."
Upon receiving Chen Dengming's response, Su Yan Yan and He Yingyu were both infected by the confidence in his words, which calmed them down considerably and eased their depressed moods.
The great decline in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is a tremendous calamity for any cultivator.
Especially for those of high cultivation levels, descending from the Heavenly Human Life and Death Realm to the mortal Human World feels almost like jumping from land into water when they were ordinary people, and they feel suffocated.
This suffocation is a strange, panicked feeling of being unable to absorb Spiritual Qi.
Their Spiritual Qi is constantly being depleted, and the Spiritual Qi they need to maintain is not being replenished. If they continue to stay in the Human World like this for a long time, their spiritual realm will become unstable.
Fortunately, they still had a good Husband to rely on.
They believed their Husband could avert this catastrophe that swept across the land, and they were convinced that he could.
People generally say that Old Deng is lucky, enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives.
Who would have thought that the beauty herself was lucky, having fallen for the Old Deng?
Time flies, and another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
New Realm.
The once-famous Phoenix Cry Dao Domain has now become a living hell, with nearly a hundred Cultivation Star shrouded in calamity energy.
Half of the cultivators and mortals on the Cultivation Star could not escape the calamity, while the other half fled to the Cultivation Star Realm, which is now under the jurisdiction of Feng Lingzi and Xun Suzi, before the calamity arrived.
However, even many cultivators within the Sealed Realm still felt uneasy.
Many people boarded the ark and gathered together, fleeing to the more distant Great Enlightenment Dao Domain, hoping to receive the protection of the Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable.
Of these fugitives, some successfully entered the Great Enlightenment Dao Domain, while others perished in the Tribulation Mist during their escape.
To this day, the remaining dozen or so Cultivation Star within the Sealed Realm are the only remaining Life Force of the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain, and have not yet been covered by the calamity energy.
However, these dozen or so Cultivation Star, faced with the ever-expanding and attacking calamity energy, were like a dozen small boats tossed about in a raging sea, with the possibility of being destroyed and losing their crew at any moment.
"Seal up!!"
Within the Sealed Realm, on the outer edge of a Cultivation Star, Feng Lingzi swiftly formed hand seals, and streaks of multicolored light swept across, emitting intensely suppressive Dao energy waves that quickly sealed off the Tribulation Mist that was growing on the outer edge of the Cultivation Star.
As a square, sealed space took shape, enclosing a large area of Tribulation Mist, Feng Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief, his expression grim as he looked into the distance.
On the outskirts of a Cultivation Star not far away, Xun Suzi also used his Dao techniques to remove the Tribulation Mist, preventing it from invading the Cultivation Star and damaging the protective field formed by their Dao domain.
Since the great calamity broke out, and the evil phoenix turned against the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain, causing countless disasters and massacres, these two mortal enemies have now been forced to join forces due to the crisis.
They abandoned some Cultivation Star and transferred their Dao domains to the dozen or so Cultivation Star they now live on, supporting each other and jointly resisting the invasion of the evil phoenix carrying immense calamity energy.
However, simply holding out is not a viable solution.
The calamity grew ever stronger and more overwhelming, and the evil phoenix became increasingly powerful.
What surprised, doubted, and even terrified them even more was whether Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable had met with misfortune in the Ancient Realm, and whether that evil phoenix was a revenge from the Ancient Realm.
If this is the case, it indicates that the Ancient Realm already possesses the power to suppress and kill Dao Venerable, and may launch an even more ferocious retaliation at any time.
At this moment, a ripple appeared in the starry sky, Xun Suzi stepped out from the ripple, arriving not far from Feng Lingzi.
The old man's forehead was covered with deep wrinkles, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes also showed the aura of the years. His long black hair was tied into a topknot, and he exuded an air of authority without anger. He wore a high-necked black robe, with two small dragons with red eyes and black scales wrapped around his sleeves. The dragons' bellies were bulging, filled with the tribulation energy that had been temporarily devoured and stored.
Xun Suzi stared solemnly at Feng Lingzi and said, "Now the calamity energy is increasing, and even the Dao Domain that you and I carefully set up every day cannot block it. That evil phoenix has not appeared for a year. I have a bad feeling."
Feng Lingzi also had a bad feeling. His eyes showed exhaustion, and he said in a deep voice, "Great Enlightenment Dao Venerable is not responding to our request for help. What about Vast Sky Dao Venerable? Have you received any reply from Huan Kong Dao Domain?"
Xun Suzi sighed and shook his head, putting his hands behind his back, saying, "Perhaps we should also think of an escape route as soon as possible. The situation is becoming increasingly dire. Even Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable has perished. The great calamity has truly erupted. A tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives. We cannot repeat the mistakes of the Ancient Realm. We must leave when it's time to leave!"
"Walk?"
Feng Lingzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Let's go to other Dao Domains; perhaps those two Dao Venerable won't expel them.
However, for the other Dao Integration Dao Master, their arrival is a competition for resources and a threat. Not only will they have to start from scratch, but they will also live in dire straits.
Furthermore, he was still very grateful to Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable.
In the past, the Phoenix Cry Dao Venerable rescued him from the clutches of that ten-thousand-foot-tall demon god of calamity.
He will never forget this kindness.
He truly could not completely sever ties with the Phoenix Cry Dao Domain and the many cultivators from the former Sealed Spirit Realm who now needed his protection.
Seeing Feng Lingzi's expression, Xun Suzi understood his intentions and was about to offer some advice.
Suddenly, both of them felt a jolt in their hearts, as if they were enveloped by an extremely strong threat.
Almost simultaneously, Feng Lingzi's expression changed, and he let out a soft cry as he looked at the sealed space in front of him.
However, the sealed space created by the Spirit Sealing Technique seemed to be rapidly blackened, and the calamity energy within it began to quickly erode the sealed space and his Dao power.
"This is."
Feng Lingzi's body trembled. He suddenly looked up at the distant starry sky, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he whispered, "Oh no, it's him! He's here! He's still alive!"
Xun Suzi immediately looked into the distance, and asked in surprise, "Who is he? Who has come?"
In the distant depths of space, a massive, billowing aura of calamity appeared silently.
A colossal figure, as large as Cultivation Star, emerged from the rolling tribulation energy, its majestic outline faintly visible. Streaks of pitch-black tribulation lightning, like winding dragons and snakes, coiled around its terrifying, demonic body, accompanied by heart-palpitating raging Karma Fire, spreading a suffocatingly terrifying pressure, as if a catastrophe had descended.
"Hey!--"
A high-pitched, resentful cry suddenly shook the starry sky, breaking through the Tribulation Mist and revealing the phoenix, half of its body wreathed in red Karma Fire and the other half in black Sin Fire.
The evil phoenix circled in the calamity aura, then suddenly landed on the shoulder of that enormous, demon-god-like body, and strode toward the Sealed Realm.
"The Bandit Cultivator!! I should have realized it was him!"
Feng Lingzi's face turned deathly pale. The terrifying memory she didn't want to recall surged up like darkness, assaulting her mind.
He knew he was finished!
A monstrous phoenix—he and Xun Suzi could only fight it together.
This terrifying Bandit Cultivator has returned, seemingly even stronger than before; they are doomed!
Heavenly Human Hall.
Chen Dengming was suddenly awakened from his cultivation. In his mind, the mental images transmitted by Huang Yun, who Mind Enslavement, appeared.
The moment he saw the emanation of the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol appear in the image, his eyes sharpened instantly.
Especially the evil phoenix surrounding the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol, which is enough to prove that his previous guess was correct.
At this moment, the mental image transmitted by Huang Yun revealed an extremely terrifying scene.
The entire Sealed Realm was destroyed by the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol. Even powerful Dao Integration Dao Master like Feng Lingzi and Xun Suzi were devoured and sealed by the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol Image using the Heavenly Prison.
This scene was also captured by other Dao Lords in the Great Enlightenment Dao Domain and the Universal Sky Dao Domain who were paying close attention. For a moment, the starry sky trembled, and many Dao Lords felt insecure and uneasy.
"Retreat!"
Chen Dengming, having failed to observe the entire situation, immediately ordered Huang Yun to retreat.
However, his command came a step too late. The instant the command was given, a Karma arose from his mind and tried to invade him.
This means that Huang Yun has been controlled by the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol, and this Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol has even used the mental imprint deep in Huang Yun's heart to carry out a mental counter-invasion against him.
After all, the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol was also his own, a means of manipulating minds, which could be said to be comparable to his own.
Chen Dengming snorted coldly, showing no panic. A spark of the Fortune White Lotus Fire within his soul quickly devoured the invading Karma tribulation energy, transforming it into blessings.
Immediately afterwards, he decisively shattered the mental imprint that had enslaved Huang Yun, cutting ties decisively at the crucial moment and abandoning his pawn.
This is not the time to get entangled with the Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol. The other party obviously knows that he is preparing to break through to the Dao Venerable realm and wants to interfere and stop him.
However, it seems that this Tribulation Qi Dharma Idol is not yet powerful enough to sweep away everything.
Last time, the opponent suffered a loss at his hands in the Ancient Realm, and failed again when he tried to lure him in with the Evil Phoenix as bait.
Their appearance this time was merely an invasion of the Sealed Realm; they didn't go so far as to arrogantly attack the Ancient Realm.
I've been sick for the past two days, and although I've taken medicine, it's not helping much. I have a cough, and I suspect it's the flu or something. The medicine makes me very sleepy. Tomorrow I have to drive a long distance from my in-laws' house back to my own, so I'm taking a day off to rest. I'll resume updating the day after tomorrow.
