Chapter 190: 106~107: Time flows in the blink of an eye, a hundred years is like the snap of a finger (combined for a monthly ticket)__2 Chapter 190: 106~107: Time flows in the blink of an eye, a hundred years is like the snap of a finger (combined for a monthly ticket)__2 The Devouring Ghost let out a pained howl, struggling mightily.
However, with each wave of almost transparent power being drawn away by the red diamond, its struggle gradually weakened.
On the other hand, the Mini Array Spirit was glowing with spiritual light, rain of light swirling around it, every strand of hair seemed crystal clear, pure and flawless, its aura gradually becoming stronger.
The sight of this give-and-take was somewhat chilling.

The competition between the spiritual-ghost cultivators seemed much more brutal than that among ordinary cultivators.
“So this is what Ling’er meant by eating ghosts…”
Chen Dengming widened his eyes.
He was surprised at this.
...
He had thought that the Mini Array Spirit’s eating was simply swallowing ghosts, but this was not the case.
Moreover, the Mini Array Spirit’s current state was also very peculiar.
In his past life, he had read various web novels in which descriptions of stunningly beautiful characters would include phrases like “hair gleaming like crystals”, “skin as clear as jade, seemingly transparent” and “being enveloped in a celestial aura.”
He had initially thought those descriptions exaggerated.
Could such sparkling hair be the result of not washing for several years, he wondered.
But now, to his surprise, those descriptions in the novels turned out to be true.
It was possible that the author of those novels was a cultivator who became a novelist after descending the mountain.
Seeing the Mini Array Spirit’s condition gradually stabilizing, there shouldn’t be any danger.
Chen Dengming was now reassured, so he sat down, took a sip of cold tea, calmed his mind and began to inspect his own status within the panel.
“Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator [Chen Dengming]
Life-span: 84/238/584
Spiritual Root: Gold, Wood (Superior 0/100)
Martial Arts: ‘Chen Family Martial Arts Compendium’ (Great Perfection)
Daoism: ‘Longevity Spring Skill’ (First level 330/3000), ‘Chen’s Dao Method Chapter’ (Master Level 34/100), ‘Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill’ (First level 78/100), ‘Golden Body’ (Beginner 11/100), ‘Plum Replaces Peach as Stiff Skill’ (Beginner 14/100)”
More than twenty days have passed since he officially broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
During this period, the gradual improvement of his body, life potential energy, and life span due to his advanced realm has also been moving towards perfection.
Therefore, his life span limit has increased considerably once again.
In the end, Chen Dengming could clearly see that his life span increased by a total of 105 years after he broke through from the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
This was five years more than he had anticipated, something that satisfied him very much.
Being less would have disappointed him, but being more was a pleasant surprise.
Aside from increasing his life-span after the Foundation Establishment Stage, learning ‘Longevity Spring Skill’, the Changchun Sect’s foundation technique, also directly increased his life span limit by 15 years.
This was merely at the beginner level, which was astonishment in itself.
Putting aside his golden finger ability to increase his lifespan through cultivation, any other cultivator who practices this Longevity Spring Skill can directly extend their lifespan by five years.
If one cultivates the complete twelve levels, wouldn’t one gain sixty years in lifespan, effectively living sixty years longer than other Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators?
The Longevity Spring Skill really lives up to its rebirth from Longevity Technique, its life-extending effects are truly excellent.
Besides mastering this main technique, during these seven days, Chen Dengming has also raised the technique ‘Roving Qi Transforming Gold’, which was about to break through, to the master level, raised ‘Water Shadow Wood Poison Gu Skill’ and ‘Dragon Bone Training Skill’ to the proficient level, and learned the skills ‘Golden Body’ and ‘Plum Replaces Peach as Stiff Skill’.
His life-span limit has therefore increased by another 25 years, reaching a total of 584 years.
After upgrading and changing his techniques, Chen Dengming bundled together all the techniques he has mastered and those he had a master level understanding of, and threw them all into ‘Chen’s Dao Method Chapter’.
Now, looking at the dashboard, there’s a complete shotgun replacement.
Seeing his long life-span, Chen Dengming, who has harbored the urge to continue practicing ‘Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill’ deep in his heart for a long time, has already become a little restless, and is about to act impulsively.
“Now I look like a young man in his thirties, but in reality, I’m an old man in his eighties.
However, the actual life-span I’ve expended is as high as 238 years…”
“At the cost of a full life-span of a normal Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, I upgraded from an inferior conflicting spiritual root to a superior conflicting spiritual root.
This is probably because of the panel.
The results I achieved from practicing ‘Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill’ at every level are almost the best results possible.
Otherwise, if my luck was slightly worse, I might have only improved to a mid-level spiritual root, and with even worse luck…”
Chen Dengming shook his head.
It’s true that everyone’s path through life is different, and a hundred years can pass in the blink of an eye.
No ordinary person could emulate him.
Those who could do so, such as Golden Core or Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, almost always have excellent qualifications.
If they can’t upgrade to the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root, it wouldn’t mean much.
Except for the creator of this technique, the demonic cultivator Master Hundred-Losses, who was a Golden Core perfection cultivator but only had mediocre spiritual roots, was considered a waste among the elite.
This demonic cultivator, in order to upgrade to a superior spiritual root and increase the chances of achieving the Nascent Soul Stage, risked his own life.
As a result, he miscalculated his remaining life-span and the effects after practicing the technique, and tragically died without achieving the Nascent Soul Stage.
“This Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill is actually quite a good fit with the ‘Longevity Technique’ of the Longevity Sect.
If the Longevity Sect has disciples with poor qualifications who practice the Longevity Technique, these disciples, who have longer life-spans than ordinary cultivators, could take a gamble…
However, whether or not they can upgrade also depends on luck.”
Chen Dengming had a sudden thought, but then shook his head.
When he first entered the territory of the Longevity Sect, one of the disciples of the Longevity Sect had scorned his experience of practicing a life-shorting secret technique.
Perhaps for the disciples of the Longevity Sect who pursue a long life, the life span they have so hard to cultivate is very precious, how can they waste and reduce it.
