Chapter 1265: 491: Fortune Heaven! Happy Ghost! Life and Death Rotation Skill_3
Legends say that only Immortals or those with great destiny could touch upon these ethereal and elusive realms.
Chen Dengming, by enhancing his relationship with “Heavenly Man” and boosting his Heavenly Fortune of Armor Path, could also be considered a person of great fortune.
…
Years of cultivation flowed by, leisurely arriving and departing.
Two years in the outside world passed, but within the Heaven Blessings Hall, it was a full two hundred years, gone in an instant.
In this short span of two years, the level of Ghost Qi inside the Nine Nether Ghost City had plummeted from its highest grade of Yama Ghost Qi down three levels to that of the Yaksha grade.
...
The entire Ghost City truly had become a ghost city, desolate and quiet. The vibrant Ghost Qi that once drew many lower-tier Ghost Creatures spontaneously had almost all converged instinctively toward the mountains near where Chen Dengming was cultivating over these two years.
The Nine Nether Ghost Monarch, whose Ghost Qi had drastically fallen mid-way through, was repeatedly startled awake from his tomb and now, from a state of mind where he dared to rage but not to speak, he had gradually grown so bold as to be itching for action.
This is too much!
This Heavenly Human Daojun from the Mortal World was truly overstepping his bounds.
He had thought that this Heavenly Human Daojun would at most remain within his domain for a hundred years, unable to absorb much Ghost Qi. His family had extensive businesses and could withstand the loss. He only had to wait for a hundred years to pass and thought of it as paying money to avoid a disaster, simply being a cheerful and carefree ghost.
Who would have thought that in just these short two years, the Ghost Qi would have been absorbed so much by the other party, almost equal to the amount he himself would amass with full effort over two hundred years – a truly terrifying prospect.
If he allowed the other to continue cultivating so recklessly, let alone a hundred years, the Nine Nether Ghost City might not last a decade, the Nether Spring might even be sucked dry, and the Yin Soil of his painstakingly constructed tombs might no longer be fertile.
This was making it impossible for him to rest in peace even as a ghost.
“A man can bear only so much, and I, the Nine Nether Ghost Monarch, cannot bear this. After observing for these two years, this Heavenly Human Daojun has not set up any traps, why don’t we simply stop dithering…”
Inside the Nine Nether Tombs, the Nine Nether Ghost Monarch gritted his teeth, conspiring in whispered tones with the Immortal Ghost Monarch and the Infinite Ghost Monarch.
The Immortal Ghost Monarch sneered inwardly, taking pleasure in the misfortune of others.
This Nine Nether Ghost Monarch’s bad luck had nothing to do with the Immortal Ghost Monarch; he didn’t want to become a Soon Dead Ghost Monarch and thus advised,
“Forget it, Nine Nether, even if we join forces against this single Heavenly Human Daojun, we are not guaranteed to capture him.
Moreover, he has only cultivated in your domain for two years. Don’t be so petty. Such a trivial matter is not worth risking our lives for. We are ghosts, after all – we should be magnanimous and prioritize living happily!”
Upon hearing this, the Nine Nether Ghost Monarch was infuriated to the point of itching teeth, that damned Immortal Ghost Monarch spoke without understanding the pain of standing in another’s shoes. He thought of inviting that Demon Star to stay in his domain for two years and see how he’d like it.
The Infinite Ghost Monarch also tried to dissuade him, “Nine Nether, be more generous, it will pass if you just endure it.
The Ghost Shade is so vast, and ever since those old-timers like the Netherworld and Yama departed, our territories have expanded considerably. If it comes to it, we can simply move and rebuild our city elsewhere.
The life of a ghost is inevitably rocky. As ghosts, we must look on the bright side and avoid trouble!”
“Alright, alright, alright, these two bastards are dead set on standing by. They do not know the danger of ‘when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.'”
The Nine Nether Ghost Monarch was so angry he laughed instead, about to rebuke them, when he suddenly perceived with keen awareness that the flow of Ghost Qi within the Ghost City was no longer draining out but had, for the first time ever, begun to flow back in.
Instantly astonished, he immediately realized what was happening.
“That Heavenly Human Daojun has already emerged from seclusion so quickly? No, not quickly, it’s already been a full two years…”
…
Within the deep mountains, after two hundred years of cultivation in Heavenly Time, Chen Dengming retracted the Heaven Longevity Hall and then soothed the Senluo who was quite fatigued in his spirit, before reviewing his own condition, greatly satisfied.
“The ‘Heavenly Man’s Skill’ (Great Achievement 29,956/36,000), [Life and Death Rhyme] (Great Achievement), [Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification] with the protection of Blessing, Luck Shines High…”
Having cultivated for two hundred years within the Heaven Longevity Hall, his mana cultivation had advanced rapidly, and he was now on the verge of breaking through to Complete Divine Transformation.
He estimated that after another cycle of sixty years, he would likely achieve the breakthrough.
Beyond his cultivation level, the Life and Death Rhyme had already reached great success and was moving towards completion.
The only regret was that for the third layer of Heavenly Luck Dao’s intention of Supreme Fortune, even after he had pondered over it for two full centuries and had even managed to make contact with Fortune Heaven in the process, he still couldn’t comprehend the intention of Supreme Fortune.
He suspected that it might be because he had only made contact with Fortune Heaven but was unable to have the Splashing Heaven’s Fortune descend upon him, thus failing to understand the intention of Supreme Fortune.
It was like being able to see the many treasures stored within a vault, but being blocked at the door, only able to watch helplessly, unable to open the gate and enter.
“The way of luck emphasizes Karmic Dharma. It seems that my understanding of direction and method is correct, yet I am still lacking Karmic Dharma… When this Karmic Dharma will arrive, it’s not something one can control at all.”
Chen Dengming felt a sense of lament in his heart, but also knew he couldn’t demand it.

However, he found solace and satisfaction in that, over the past two years, his Incense Fire Incarnation had also garnered a large number of low-level Ghost Creatures as Incense Believers and had accumulated a vast Power of Incense Faith, bringing him close to igniting the Divine Fire and achieving Divine Transformation.
Just then, a formidable ghost qi suddenly flew over from the Ghost City across the river, striking fear into the many Ghost Creatures surrounding the deep mountains, making them crawl on the ground, shivering.
The Nine Nether Ghost Monarch, even suppressing his temper, wore an ugly expression. Despite his deep wariness, he still flew above the deep mountains and outside the Formation, clumsily bowed to Chen Dengming and said bluntly,
“Dao Monarch Chen! You have cultivated within my domain for two years, not to mention luring away a large number of Ghost Creatures, and I have not hindered or disturbed you in the slightest.
But now, my Ghost City is almost exhausted by you. I humbly ask you, Dao Monarch Chen, to lift your esteemed hand, find another place to cultivate. Whatever your conditions may be, please just state them!”
Chen Dengming let out a wry laugh, looking around him, noticing that the mountainside was covered with the Black and White Life and Death Flowers.
Apart from the deep mountains where he was, the ghost qi was indeed thinner further out, and the Nine Nether Ghost Monarch was not wrong.
But that didn’t mean the other party had the right to dictate terms to him.
The laws of survival within the Ghost Shade realm were even more brutal than those of the Mortal World, with power ruling supreme, and the weak serving as food.
He indeed planned to leave, as the concentration of ghost qi and the number of Ghost Creatures here were no longer suitable for him and his incarnation to cultivate.
But if he just turned around and left at the words of the Nine Nether Ghost Monarch, wouldn’t that show the other Ghost Monarchs that he was fearful, timid, and easy to talk to? How would he then compete for resources and establish a foothold in the Ghost Shade?
Without delay, he scoffed and said, “Nine Nether Ghost Monarch! You had promised me the opportunity to cultivate here for a hundred years. Since you now go back on your word, I can leave, as the density of ghost qi here is insufficient anyway.
But since you’ve reneged, prepare yourself to face one of my Daoism Divine Skills!”
“What?” The Nine Nether Ghost Monarch was startled.
Suddenly, he saw Chen Dengming casting spells with a flick of his fingers, his aura of Daoist Charm permeating all around him, as he reached towards the Black and White Life and Death Flowers that dotted the mountains.
In an instant, the vast fields of Black and White Life and Death Flowers simultaneously whirled into the air, spinning in the sky, forming a huge black and white vortex that thundered out of the Formation towards him.
The Nine Nether Ghost Monarch shouted in fright and anger as he prepared to cast spells with both hands, but he felt his ghost qi going out of control, ghost qi from all directions disobediently fleeing, absorbed by the immense black and white vortex that was devouring its way towards him.
Chen Dengming stepped forward, waved his sleeve, and coldly snorted, “This skill of mine is named Life and Death Cycle!”
He extended his hand and clawed forward, the gargantuan Black and White Life and Death Flowers swiftly engulfed the Nine Nether Ghost Monarch…
