Qu Shenzong He Dao_2 Chapter 1252: 487: Spiritual Energy Plummets!
A Hundred Years!
Qu Shenzong He Dao_2 “You speak the truth,”
Chen Dengming nodded in agreement.
With the strength of the Longevity Sect, they naturally had the qualifications to demand a redistribution of resources.
And since the Longevity Sect rarely made enemies, as long as their demands weren’t too excessive, most of the Immortal Sects and Way Gates, even if they had to bleed a little, would pinch their noses and accept the proposition—not one would object, and at least it would be more graceful than losing everything through conflict.
...
This kind of resource redistribution was, in fact, no different than robbing Peter to pay Paul.
For example, under circumstances where some Immortal Sects and Way Gates had an abundance of resources, the Longevity Sect would demand them to donate Spirit Veins of the first or second rank under the pretense of maintaining regional stability, to compensate for the deficits in the Longevity Dao Field.
In return, the Longevity Dao Field would provide support through trade tax exemptions or discounts on real estate and native resource trade within their domain.
This was also a form of a small thank-you gift to the sponsors and indeed could solve the problem of the falling Spiritual Energy within the Longevity Dao Field in the short term.
“Alright, Sister, you go ahead and summon the Immortal Sects and Way Gates from the Four Seas and Four Realms to make the proposition.
If it’s truly difficult to coordinate, then we’ll discuss the next steps,”
Chen Dengming ultimately agreed to Su Yanyan’s suggestion.
Resource issues were major concerns for the healthy development of a Sect, and the Longevity Sect had both the rationale and confidence to make such demands.
The crucial point was to see whether the other Immortal Sects and Way Gates would agree or not.
This was not about seizing by force but was a tacit understanding formed over many years of development in the Cultivation World.
The primary objective was also to maintain regional stability; the strong had the right to propose a redistribution of resources to avoid direct conflicts that could lead to widespread chaos.
Ignoring the dark plot of the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators in the great wars of the Four Regions from days past,
On the surface, it was actually a resource redistribution demand from the northwest regions being refused which led to the outbreak of war.
After discussing the specifics with the two women, Chen Dengming returned to the cave dwelling with He Yingyu.
As per the usual routine of a long-married couple, they shared an intimate moment without neglecting to diligently continue their cultivation.
…
Several days later, Chen Dengming was planning to go to the Ghost Shade to advance his cultivation further.
Now that variables had arisen, he himself had become one.
Whether to avert the Ancient Calamity or to uncover the secrets behind his own transmigration, he needed to hurry and achieve He Dao before the arrival of the Ancient Calamity.
Unexpectedly, before he could enter the Ghost Shade, Dongfang Huayuan made contact with him through the Human God Palace within his Spirit.
“Have you achieved Complete Divine Transformation already?”

Realizing the intensity of Dongfang Huayuan’s Primordial Spirit, Chen Dengming felt both expectation and surprise.
“Though I have made the breakthrough, the Spiritual Energy in the mountain ranges of the Western Region has become scarcer because of me,”
Dongfang Huayuan’s tone was as casual as ever, “The Spiritual Energy resources within the Four Seas and Four Regions are too scarce.
If I were to attempt to achieve He Dao, I’m afraid I would have to take a path that goes against the entire world.
Chen kid, you wouldn’t block me too, would you?”
Chen Dengming’s heart skipped a beat, sensing the inevitable had come at last.
He pondered how to respond when Dongfang Huayuan continued with a hearty laugh, “In truth, I’ve considered a solution: One is for me to venture outside the domain and plunder the Spirit Vein resources from there before returning to advance.
But as you’re aware, this comes with great risk, and even if I make it back safely, it might provoke a larger invasion war from the Outer Realm, possibly invoking the direct intervention of a Supreme Daoist.”
Chen Dengming frowned; this plan indeed entailed tremendous risk.
Qu Shenzong had similarly ventured beyond their domain to plunder resources for He Dao.
Yet Qu Shenzong’s plunder was for Qingmingzi’s Dao of He Dao without the need to return, which, though more dangerous, wouldn’t shift the tremendous risk onto the Four Regions and cause a Supreme Daoist from the Outer Realm to intervene.
However, if Dongfang Huayuan were to plunder resources from the Outer Realm and then return to merge within the domain, that would be like returning with a bomb, potentially bringing the wrath of the Outer Realm Supreme Daoist back with them.
Chen Dengming said, “This first option doesn’t seem viable to me; tell me the second one.”
“The second is for you, me, the Buddha in The World, and any willing Deity Transformation Dao Lords from the Four Seas and Four Realms to join forces and kill Buddha Trick,”
Dongfang Huayuan proposed a shockingly audacious plan, which even Chen Dengming found startling.
Fortunately, both were now Deity Transformation Dao Lords, communicating through the Human God Palace within their Spirits, and considering Buddha Trick was currently restrained by the Buddha in The World,
Otherwise, the mere birth of such murderous intent might have been detected by such Hegemony Capabilities.
Dongfang Huayuan pressed on, “When the whale falls, all come to life; the thirty percent of Qingmingzi’s Primordial Spirit you shared with me last time solved a large part of my cultivation resource problem, saving me much hardship.
With the current resources of the Four Seas and Four Realms, supporting one He Dao might leave the entire Cultivation World in debt.
Instead of that, let’s join forces and eliminate this destabilizing factor, Buddha Trick.
Devouring his Primordial Spirit and Mana, I too could solve a significant portion of the resources needed for He Dao!”
Chen Dengming’s frown deepened as he spoke solemnly, “Your idea is dangerous and highly improbable of success.
You were part of the elimination of Qingmingzi last time and know all too well how extremely fortunate and difficult it was to obtain his complete Primordial Spirit.
This kind of luck cannot be expected to repeat itself; Buddha Trick is even more powerful than Qingmingzi, and the idea of killing him and preserving his Mana and Primordial Spirit for your absorption is much more difficult than the act of slaying him!”
“Difficult it may be, but it’s not without hope!”
Dongfang Huayuan stubbornly insisted, “This is the best choice so far, and it’s the choice that aligns with the will of the people.
Buddha Trick is indeed stronger than Qingmingzi.”
