Chapter 1042: 416: One Man’s Success Leads to Ascension for All His Kin!
The First Generation of Immortals from the Hometown (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2 Chapter 1042: 416: One Man’s Success Leads to Ascension for All His Kin!
The First Generation of Immortals from the Hometown (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2 Chen Dengming did not find it troublesome and granted each request.
Bringing one mortal or a group of mortals didn’t make much of a difference to him.
The difference between those with Innate abilities and those without was also not significant.
His reason for requiring Innate warriors during the recruitment was considering the unique circumstances of the Cultivation World.
Even with his protection, he could only ensure the safety of the general environment and the most basic living guarantees at the beginning.
...
It was impossible to thoroughly help everyone with every little matter.
The threat to human survival was not only from Demonic Beasts or the environment.
Because humans have always been their own worst enemies, they are the species most fond of infighting.
Innate warriors still had a bit of self-preservation and the ability to maintain a decent livelihood in the Cultivation World, but it was much more difficult for ordinary mortals.
Therefore, for the first group to be brought out of the Cultivation World, Chen Dengming chose Innate warriors as they could better and more easily take root and establish themselves.
Now, there were people willing to leave with their wives and children, which brought relief and reflection to Chen Dengming’s heart.
In the past, he left behind seven rooms in his home, resolutely leaving his family to pursue the path of immortality, fraught with the unknown and without a guarantee of safety or survival in the Cultivation World.
Latter, as it turned out, cultivation was indeed as difficult as he anticipated.
If at that time there had been a True Immortal descending to guarantee his safety and at least ensure a stable environment, there would have been no need for him to leave the Chen Family and the seven wives.
Now, in a way, he felt as though he was resolving his own past regrets by helping others.
…
After several days of preparation, a group comprising Innate warriors and a small number of mortals formed a team bound for immortality.
In total, over sixty people boarded the Spirit Boat released by Chen Dengming, then departed under the reluctant and lingering gazes of countless mortals and Chen Jing.
Ultimately, Chen Jing did not agree to follow Chen Dengming back to the Cultivation World.
Instead, he wished to stay in Nanxun to tend to his mother’s grave and those of the other six ladies for a few years.
Afterwards, Chen Jing planned to revisit some places in Nanxun he had been to as a child, to relive the memories of his youth.
This was akin to someone in old age, with the candle of life close to burning out, recapturing the innocence of early years, as the falling leaves return to their roots.
After deep contemplation, Chen Dengming, considering his son’s emotional state, did not refuse Chen Jing’s wish to stay in Nanxun.
The lifespan of a mortal is ultimately finite.
No matter how much he extended Chen Jing’s life, the end was already not far away.
It is better to live out one’s remaining years with satisfaction than to live unhappily.
“In this world, so many seek immortality, but how many truly achieve it?
There may be no more immortals in this world…”
Chen Dengming felt a sense of poignancy within.
Using flying immortals to roam, embracing the bright moon until one’s last breath, enjoying longevity.
Becoming immortal—this is the ultimate goal of every Cultivator, and he was just another seeker on the path to immortality.
The Ancestor once said, there are no more immortals in the world, for the Five Dao Systems of Immortal Origin have shattered, the five Immortal Worlds collapsed, and True Immortals no longer have a place to reside.
For those who came later, reaching immortality was also difficult, perhaps requiring a reconstruction of the Immortal World…
“Cultivation is difficult, more so than a mortal ascending to the heavens—perhaps many times harder.”
Chen Dengming glanced back to see the Nanxun natives aboard the Spirit Boat, who were feeling surprised and gradually joyful as they flew high into the sky, and he remained composed.
He had already examined these Nanxun locals.
Only one possessed an inferior Spiritual Root, and their future achievements would not be great.
Perhaps this was the only time in their ordinary lives that they would ever ride a fourth-order Spirit Boat.
In the future, even after spending a lifetime in the Cultivation World, it would be difficult to find the same treatment they received when they first embarked on the boat to the Cultivation World.
…
Four days later.
Near Chang’an Market, outside a small mortal county city in the Longevity Dao Field,
when the Spirit Boat steered by Chen Dengming arrived at this place, it immediately startled the three Disciples of the Longevity Sect who were stationed within the city walls.
The moment the Disciples saw the class of the Spirit Boat and the green Sect flag that represented the presence of the Sect Master, they were all struck dumb.
This…
this…
Could this be the Longevity Sect Leader or a high-ranking Great Cultivator closely associated with him, personally arriving at a small county in a mortal nation?
It was more astonishing than the emperor making a clandestine visit to the brothels in disguise by a factor of ten thousand.
The Disciples immediately exited the city to welcome him, extremely nervous and respectful.
The quick-witted quickly sent messages within the city for the county governor to prepare to welcome them.
As a mortal nation close to the bustling Chang’an Market and under the protection of the Longevity Sect, almost every county city in the Longevity Country had three to five Cultivators stationed around.
If it was a prefectural city, the number of Cultivators in residence could be as many as ten.
And those who served as county governors or prefectural leaders in these mortal city walls were generally people from Cultivation Families close to the Longevity Sect.
They assisted in protecting and managing mortal cities and discovering mortals with Spiritual Roots.
Those with inferior talents were absorbed by the Cultivation Families.

Those with mediocre talents were absorbed by Branch Sects established by Longevity, Evergreen, and Tan Siyan, such as Changming.
Those with superior talents were absorbed by the Longevity Sect itself.
This way, whether it was the Cultivation Families, the various Branch Sects, or the Longevity Sect itself, they could all develop fresh blood over the years.
This was the secret to the enduring prosperity of a Sect and the long-term peace and stability of a Dao Domain.
At this moment, Chen Dengming had changed his appearance, posing as Sang Tianrong, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from within the Sect.
This look was only clear to the Disciples who had come to greet him.
The many mortals from Nanxun on the Spirit Boat were caught in the Blindfolding Technique, unable to discern the disguise.
This was done so as not to cause a huge commotion by appearing in person, which would lead to the batch of Nanxun natives being treated like deities in the county city, living carefree for the rest of their lives even if they couldn’t become Cultivators.
