In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path

The entire Ghost Shade once again tilted.

This time, Chen Dengming was powerless to stop it.

Ultimately, it was the World Buddha Honor, who did not participate in the battle of the dome, who chose to take action, transforming into a colossal ancient Buddha. He stationed himself between the Ghost Shade and the Mortal World, supporting both realms with the Tathagata Buddha Hand in a relatively peaceful manner, slowly bringing them into contact and thus avoiding a catastrophic disaster between heaven and earth.

But even so, the merging of the Ghost Shade and the Mortal World caused tremendous upheavals in both realms.

Firstly, numerous earthquakes began in the Mortal World, gradually disintegrating the Four Regions into twenty-two landmasses of varying sizes, which were submerged by the influx of the Four Oceans, with some lands completely sinking into the depths of the sea.

Consequently, the Four Oceans merged into two vast oceanic realms, with the twenty-two disparate landmasses floating above the oceans like twenty-two colossal islands.

Disasters and hardships, with all living beings suffering immensely.

Fortunately, many beings had already migrated to Nanxun and the Heaven God World governed by Qu Shenzong, rescuing some beings from the Ancient Region.

However, most beings of the Ancient Region still perished in the disasters, causing robust Resentment Qi to proliferate within the Ancient Region.

The untimely deaths of these beings, not of natural causes but due to calamities, were filled with resentment. The immense resentment gathered, gradually giving birth to karma within the Resentment Qi.

Similar scenarios were unfolding within the Dead World of the Heaven Human Life and Death World.

The Dead World once had an Incarnation of Chen Dengming, who helped alleviate the resentment of myriad ghosts and stabilize the situation.

But this Incarnation had long left the Dead World, hidden within the Ghost Shade and merged with his soul parts under Chen Dengming’s command.

Over these two years, with no one stationed in the Dead World, the resentment of myriad ghosts accumulated without release and gradually evolved into karma.

At this moment, within the Underworld River of the Ghost Shade, Chen Dengming’s soul parts had stabilized with the nurturing from the Underworld River and the extrication within the Hall of Human Heart and Deity Hall, having already awakened from his slumber.

A year ago, Mini Array Spirit and Chu Xun also came together to bring Soul Flowers and precious Underworld River Soul Lamp Grass, among other soul-nurturing treasures, to expedite the recovery of his soul parts.

Now, the injuries to Chen Dengming’s soul parts had recovered approximately sixty percent. Although not yet at his peak, he was capable enough to perform some Divine Skills and observe the conditions of the three realms.

Seeing the three realms in complete chaos, plunging into a state where all beings were suffering tremendously, made Chen Dengming bitterly resentful towards Phoenix Cry Dao Monument.

According to his plan, he intended to help various Immortal Sects such as Shu Sword Pavilion, Five Elements Escape Sect, Mingguang Sect, and Yongxin Sword Sect, along with a multitude of lower-level cultivators and mortals, to migrate to the Heaven Human Life and Death World before the great turmoil completely erupted.

This was not only to fulfill a promise but also a grand act of sheltering all under heaven, potentially reducing unnecessary casualties.

However, due to the battle of the dome initiated by the invasion of Phoenix Cry Dao Monument, he nearly perished, and his grand plan to shelter all under heaven was not perfectly executed.

Although many Immortal Sects have now migrated to Nanxun, there is still a large number of lower-level cultivators and mortals who could not reach Nanxun and perished in the disasters, further intensifying the calamitous Qi between heaven and earth.

Although these Immortal Sects were successful in their migration to Nanxun, the sparse Spirit Vein resources in Nanxun were actually insufficient for the survival of numerous cultivators, with many cultivators even beginning to lose their cultivation levels.

If Nanxun was struggling, the Heaven God World governed by Qu Shenzong was even more so.

And these two Mustard Worlds, too, had started suffering from the born calamitous Qi due to the influx of a large number of cultivators and mortals, becoming overwhelmed.

“These two years have indeed been tough on Dongfang, Senior Qu, and everyone.”

In the depths of the Underworld River, Chen Dengming felt a surge of emotion within his heart and immediately, his resolve strengthened. He planned to recreate his Daoist Body, emerge from the Ghost Shade, and preside over the Heaven Human Life and Death World, managing the grand scheme of things.

Without him presiding over the Heaven Human Life and Death World, it could not attract too many cultivators and mortals. Merely the repulsion from the non-self Dao alone would cause many to suffer or even lose their lives.

Not to mention that the Heaven Human Life and Death World is close to the edge of the Outer Space in the heavens, which is exceedingly high, also necessitating him to open the heavenly ladder passage to guide the mortal beings.

Now, although his three souls and seven spirits have already merged with his Incarnation of Faith, inheriting the power of faith from this Incarnation, he still lacks a true Taoist Body to serve as a carrier for his Divine Spirit and the Great Dao.

Without this carrier, it would be difficult for him to return to his peak strength.

However, with his current Hegemonic Dao strength, crafting this carrier is actually quite simple.

Even Deity Transformation Dao Lords can regenerate from a single drop of blood.

As long as the Dao Domain of a Hegemonic Dao Lord is not destroyed, and the will of the Divine Spirit remains intact, one can directly refine a new Taoist Body using the Dao Domain itself.

Yet, Chen Dengming does not plan to rely on the resources within the Dao Domain to recreate his Taoist Body.

Using the resources within the Dao Domain to shape an ordinary Taoist Body is easy, but it limits his strength and potential, far from that of his past Daoist Stone Body.

If he wishes to reach or even surpass his past peak, he needs far more precious resources.

These resources have already been thoughtfully prepared for him by Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong, and he also has ready resources in his possession.

“In the past, I shaped my Taoist Body with the Longevity Jade Seal as its foundation. Now, I shall use the four halls of the Hall of Human Heart, Tian Shou, Heavenly Destiny, and Heavenly Blessings as the foundation of the Taoist Body…”

Chen Dengming’s eyes sparkled, as the ethereal images of the Tian Shou and Heavenly Destiny Inheritance Immortal Halls appeared in his pupils, while within the center of his brows floated the ethereal images of the Hall of Human Heart and the Fortune Palace, both bearing marks of Dao cracks.

Using the four Inheritance Immortal Halls to sculpt the foundation of the Taoist Body, the full skeletal structure of the Taoist Body, this action is indeed extravagantly crazy.

But after some deep contemplation, Chen Dengming still felt it wasn’t enough; his eyes revealed a dense black Dead Qi as he looked in a certain direction deep within the Underworld River.

“Within Ghost Shade, there’s also a Ghost Immortal Mansion. Since I’ve created the Heaven Human Life and Death World, how can this Taoist Body only contain the paths of heaven and humans without the Life and Death Dao…”

He suddenly raised his hand to grasp, and the Dead Qi in his palm formed a majestic vortex, the Death Gate wide open, creating an attraction towards the Ghost Immortal Mansion.

“Come!!”

Boom boom boom—

In the depths of the Underworld River, smoky Dead Qi filled the air, Ghost Creatures screamed in terror, and from deep beneath the ground, an ancient and eerie pitch-black hall slowly rose, revealing its outline…
