Calculating the Ghost Monarch (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3 Chapter 1046: 417: Like a Tiger Growing Wings, Transforming into a Leopard!
Calculating the Ghost Monarch (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3 A tremendous and majestic aura was released from the bottom of the lake, and the strong Incense Faith Power quickly spread out.
“The great Divine Spirit Immortal Envoy has arrived!”
“We pay our respects to the Immortal Envoy!”
Many cultivators and mortals worshipped together, prostrating themselves completely.
The waters of the lake stirred, creating a fish-scale pattern of silver waves, as the huge silhouette of the Incense Fire Incarnation, shrouded in a misty blue light, emerged from the deep and rushed out of the lake, lifting waves like quivering mercury.
In an instant, the three-zhang-tall Incense Fire Incarnation soared majestically into the sky, leaving behind only a holy decree that echoed in the minds of the devout Incense Believers.
...
“Continue to aid struggling cultivators and devout mortals, propagate the Divine Spirit Radiance.”
The many Incense Believers who received the holy decree immediately worshipped reverently and accepted the command.
In the past nearly twenty years, the Divine Spirit Association had developed rapidly in the Four Regions.
Initially, under the guidance of Chen Dengming, many Incense Believers entered the regions of the northwest that were afflicted by war to heal the wounded and gather followers.
As the number of Incense Believers grew, they established the Divine Spirit Association and created pilgrimage sites for Incense Believers in various territories.
Now, the number of Incense Believers faithful to the Divine Spirit has reached several hundred thousand, including tens of thousands of cultivators.
As a result, the Incense Faith Power of the Incense Fire Incarnation had grown immensely, multiplying many times over, greatly advancing its combat effectiveness as well as the speed of cultivation.
Having been summoned by his original self, Chen Dengming, the Incense Fire Incarnation immediately traveled afar, heading straight for the Yin Ghost Mountain Range.
Along the way, he raced through the air as vapor, yet his mana remained undiminished, constantly drawing Water Spirit Qi from the air with the two Heart of the Ocean items, replenishing his mana at an astonishingly swift rate.
…
Meanwhile.
Outside the Nether Cave of the Yin Ghost Mountain Range, waves of formidable mental power surged without end, like a tempest of the spirit.
After a heated debate with Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch, he indeed had the audacity to maintain his high demands and was unwilling to lower the collaboration terms.
“Longevity Sect Leader, although the Ghost King of Yinming claims to be in the late Nascent Soul stage on the surface, he likely did so out of fear that I would conquer him, and has thus concealed his true power.
It is very likely that he has already reached the complete Nascent Soul stage by now.
If he were really so easy to kill, I would have done it myself long ago.
Now, if I am to make a move, I must have at least ninety percent of the profit from the power and the next batch of goods from your trade.
I need to specify the goods, otherwise, there is no point in talking!”
“Starfall…
you choose to reject a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.
Then don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Chen Dengming stood at the entrance of the Nether Cave, his eyes glowing with a faint brilliance as he shook his head inwardly.
He no longer wasted words and, feigning agreement with his intention, transmitted, “Fine, Starfall, I can make a decision and agree to your demands, but you have to agree to a few of my conditions as well.”
“Good, good…”
Below the Nether Spring, within the mists of Starfall Ghost City, the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch cackled in response.
This Longevity Sect Leader is really hard to handle.

No matter how powerful he is in the Mortal World, when it comes to handling things under the Nether Spring, one must follow his rules.
As long as he adamantly refuses to budge, the other party is forced to comply, at best raising some demands to recoup losses, which he could continue to bargain over.
“Longevity Sect Leader, state your conditions.
I shall listen for now, but I may not agree to all.”
“I want to send a few friends down, and next, I need thirty jars of River of Styx Water and the whereabouts of the elusive shore flower…”
Chen Dengming laid out three demands in succession.
He did not explicitly state that his main purpose was to send the Incense Fire Incarnation down, but mixed it with other demands to prevent the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch from becoming guarded against him.
“The whereabouts of the elusive shore flower?”
The Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch was taken aback, somewhat astonished.
This Longevity Sect Leader, could he possibly know that he possessed a shore flower?
“Such a secret matter, not even my confidants and numerous consorts are aware, much less should the Longevity Sect Leader in the Mortal World know…
Is he testing me?”
During his contemplation, the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch’s attention was drawn by the “shore flower,” causing him to relax his focus on the other two demands.
What of sending a few people down or sending out a few dozen jars of River of Styx Water…
To him, these were mere trifles, insignificant requests.
This Longevity Sect Leader must surely be aware of this.
So, was the Longevity Sect Leader deliberately proposing three demands, using the first two common ones to conceal his true aim with the third?
Suspicious but cautious, the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch still sent back his mental force.
“These three demands of yours, the first two are easy to discuss, and I can decide to grant them.
But this shore flower is indeed a treasure of the Underworld River, and it cannot be sought after willfully; it may not emerge for many years, and I too desire it.
Thus, I cannot grant you any leads on such a precious item.”
“I never really expected you to agree to the last demand.
The shore flower, rumored to connect the hearts of people from across the world, is an exceptional treasure that cannot be sought after…
Chen Dengming inwardly smiled.
He sought the shore flower, having surmised from the scriptures that it might help him comprehend the fifth intention of the Hall of Human Heart and address the difficulty of consolidating Heart Force.
However, it was indeed hard to find any clues of the flower.
As long as he could sneak the Incense Fire Incarnation among other incarnations to descend together, he would have achieved his objective.
This Starfall would sooner or later regret agreeing to his demand and might even pay for it with his life…
