Chapter 1161: 458: Nascent Soul Completed!
In the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm, outside a desolate mountain range riddled with perilous terrain, Starfall Old Ghost was loitering around sneakily, neither daring to rashly enter this area that clearly harbored Ancient Immortal prohibitions, nor daring to rashly leave, thus he remained in this deadlock, waiting for Chen Dengming’s next order.
Unless Chen Dengming insistently demanded that he must enter the deadly land ahead to pursue the Outer Realm Phoenix Cry Daoist, he would slack off whenever possible and would never rashly endanger himself.
However, at this moment, he had already vaguely sensed that something was not right with his master; it had been a long time since any further orders had come.
Even the spirit connections he tried to establish multiple times along the way had gone unanswered.
If Chen Dengming had indeed perished, then he could regain his freedom.
...
Once he left this uncomfortable forsaken place, he could return to the Nether Spring below to resume his carefree life as the Carefree Ghost Monarch, surrounded by three thousand beauties, changing brides night and day, envying neither mandarin ducks nor immortals.
He dared not harbor any ill intentions towards his own master, but if Chen Dengming had fallen victim to misfortune, at most he would shed a couple of crocodile tears, cry out for the pretense of master-servant affection, and then burst out laughing.
“Oh celestial spirits, oh earth spirits, Ghost Emperor above, reveal your presence, let this humble Starfall be reborn, free from the controls of the Longevity white-haired turtle…”
The thought of evil surfaced, and Starfall Old Ghost’s courage inflated significantly, daring to call the Longevity white-haired turtle in his heart.
The next moment, however, he froze and looked around at his environment and the faint Heavenly Immortal Dao Power that enveloped his ghostly body.
He recognized a painful reality.
Even if Chen Dengming had perished, he would still find it difficult to leave the Broken Heavenly Immortal Realm and return to Nether Spring.
Moreover, should the Heavenly Immortal Dao Power protection given by Chen Dengming collapse, he might even face death within the Heavenly Immortal World.
With this thought, Starfall Old Ghost immediately made a bitter face.
“This is not good, not good at all, esteemed Sect Leader of Longevity, you really can’t die, you must stay alive to take poor old me out of this ghastly place…”
“Oh celestial spirits, oh earth spirits, Ghost Emperor, Ghost Emperor, reveal your presence, do not snatch my master’s spirit away…”
“Starfall!
What ghostly trick are you up to?”
Suddenly, Chen Dengming’s voice echoed in his mind.
Starfall Old Ghost shivered with fright, his prayer coming to an abrupt halt, and he immediately concealed all his thoughts, squeezing out an unsightly smile on his ghostly face, hurrying to respond in his spirit.
“Sect Leader Chen, you’re all right?”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
Inside the Heaven Longevity Hall, Chen Dengming was surprised and immediately discerned Starfall Old Ghost’s thoughts through Heartfire, and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Starfall, it seems you are quite disappointed that I’m not in trouble.”
Starfall Old Ghost, with his thoughts exposed, became even more nervous and hurriedly denied everything, while trying to say good things to show loyalty.
“All right, I’ll not take issue with you for now.
You don’t need to keep watch over that Outer Realm Evil Cultivator.
Hurry back to the Soul Fetching Bow and Rod…”
“Yes, yes, I’ll go immediately…”
Starfall Old Ghost felt like he had received a great pardon, Chen Dengming was unharmed, and he suddenly experienced an inexplicable sense of relief.
At least he would not die in this ghostly Heavenly Immortal place, and at least, Chen Dengming had not forced him to venture into the deadly land.
!
Outside the Palace of the Fairy King, the ocean-like hot magma had cooled down significantly.
Some of the ground had solidified into black terrain emitting high temperatures, stretching as far as the eye could see, oppressive and heart-stopping.
Su Yanyan, with a light veil draped over her face, stood quietly atop a slope, gazing into the distance at the Palace of the Fairy King, her beautiful eyes seeming tranquil yet concealing an indescribable tinge of worry and emotion.
Not far behind her, Qiao Zhaoxian was also keeping watch, his expression sly as he eyed Su Yanyan’s graceful silhouette, increasingly feeling that this Third Ancestor of the Longevity Sect, a senior from the past, seemed to harbor unusual care and concern for Old Chen.
He suddenly said, “Senior Sister Su, I think Old Chen won’t have any problems.
He has received the true teachings of the Longevity Taoist Lord to the fullest.
He won’t perish at such a young age; surely a blessed person will enjoy heaven’s protection.”
“Received the true teachings to the fullest?”

Su Yanyan’s pretty face showed surprise, and she didn’t turn back to look at Qiao Zhaoxian.
Speaking of true teachings, she was the only formal disciple accepted by the Longevity Taoist Lord, yet she wouldn’t dare claim to have received all of his teachings.
And in her heart, she already harbored a secret worry, sensing that something might have happened to her master.
“Cough, what I meant by true teachings is…
that aspect…” Qiao Zhaoxian coughed and chuckled.
“That aspect?
Are you mocking our Longevity Sect?”
Su Yanyan was extremely sharp.
With a single glance, she knew what Qiao Zhaoxian meant and her eyes immediately turned cold—she didn’t appreciate such irreverence at this time.
Taken aback, Qiao Zhaoxian hurriedly waved his hands in denial.
To be honest, he highly admired the planning and survival skills of the Longevity Taoist Lord.
In fact, he was more complimenting them than mocking.
However, being frank and outspoken, he sometimes said things too directly, which could lead to misunderstandings.
Seeing Su Yanyan’s frosty demeanor, he immediately changed the subject and chuckled, “Don’t misunderstand, Senior Sister Su.
Personally, I have great admiration for the Longevity Taoist Lord and Old Chen.
However, your concern for Old Chen seems to be quite, quite strong…
You’ve been staring at the Palace of the Fairy King for over half an incense stick’s time without even blinking, and when the heavenly condemnation thunder erupted over there, you blinked thirteen times, and when the clouds of tribulation churned, your hands tightened twice…
You…”
Qiao Zhaoxian’s eyes widened as he spoke, for from the anger and embarrassment barely concealed behind Su Yanyan’s veil, as well as her fiery yet complex eyes, he saw the information he curiously sought to probe, but also realized that this woman had become all the more dangerous.
