Chapter 499: 225~226: Heavenly Immortal Palace, Dao Orthodoxy’s Test, Election Concludes (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_3 Chapter 499: 225~226: Heavenly Immortal Palace, Dao Orthodoxy’s Test, Election Concludes (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_3 By now, the others had also appeared one by one.
Chen Dengming looked up and saw, not clouds, but a sky filled with mist and faintly shimmering spiritual energy.
Right above him were circular rings that looked like the age rings of the ginkgo tree hole that he had just glimpsed, forming a spiraling entrance and exit.
At that moment, Chen Dengming keenly sensed something was amiss.
A unique and subtle feeling of the passage of time, similar to the constant transformation of the world, was born within his tranquil spirit.
He clearly recognized it as the sensation of longevity loss that he was thoroughly familiar with.
Usually, a person’s lifespan would be decreasing every moment.
...
But when one could perceive it so clearly, it meant that one’s lifespan was being consumed at a frighteningly rapid rate.
Chen Dengming was startled and immediately checked his status secretly.
He found that his lifespan did not show any significant change.
At least, he had not lost a year.
But from his several life-risking experiences, he knew that it might not take even a short tea break for a year of his lifespan to be expended.
“Is this the hostile force of non-self in the Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification?
Instead of consuming spiritual energy, it now consumes longevity?”
Chen Dengming looked at the floating Third Ancestor Su across from him.
The opponent looked calm and did not seem to be willing to give a reminder.
Even their clear eyes looked at him, revealing a hint of a smile in their gaze, as if he had known the truth.
There was a slight movement in Chen Dengming’s eyes, but his heart remained calm, not revealing any mental cracks, and he stayed calm.
This small amount of lifespan loss wasn’t worrying for him.
As long as the potential test of this Dao Unification inheritance didn’t last too long, he could handle it.
Perhaps, this was the content of the test.
But this was really harsh.
“Is this the site of the Dao Orthodoxy of our Longevity Sect?”
“Is the Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification here?”
“It looks desolate and uninhabited.
It is said that the three teachers and the ancestor often meditate here…”
The others began to chat, temporarily letting go of their grudges as they entered this place that countless disciples of the Longevity Sect had yearned for, and they were full of admiration for this mysterious Dao Orthodoxy site.
However, when Chen Dengming saw the ignorance of these people, he knew that they had not realized that their lifespan was dwindling rapidly, which made him shiver inwardly.
This place, the Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification site, was even more terrifying than Nanxun, where the Human Immortal Dao System was located.
Perhaps, people could age unknowingly here and by the time they realized it, they would be close to death.
The founding ancestor of Longevity Sect discovered and occupied this place many years ago.
Chen Dengming didn’t know what price was paid for it, or whether it really fits so well with the Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification.
“Follow me and I’ll show you the real Longevity Hall, also known as the Heavenly Immortal Palace…
There, you will also be able to determine whether you have a destiny with Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification.”
At that moment, Third Ancestor Su spoke calmly, turned around with graceful steps, and flew toward a floating island above the middle of the distant lake.
On that island, there was a great hall shrouded in mist, devoid of flying eaves and beveled corners.
The hall top was square, the hall bottom and the entire floating island were round, seemingly symbolic of the heaven being square and the earth being round.
Chen Dengming and the others immediately flew to catch up and quickly reached the floating island, entering the mist.
“This is…”
Chen Dengming, in his quiet state of mind, suddenly noticed something peculiar about the mist.
There was a sense of passage of time deep within some of the mist.
This unique feeling, could probably only be detected by someone abnormal like him, who was always engaged in life-risking exchanges with longevity.
“Is there longevity flowing within this mist?
No, longevity is essentially the passage of time.
What’s flowing within this mist is the power of the passage of time…”
He found out that the aura of the passage of time, like the serene river within the mist, flowed into the mysterious hall ahead.

The closer he got to the hall, the more he felt a cold, ruthless, yet all-encompassing power.
Even the Dao Force and the Daoist Scripts that had melted into his Sea of Knowledge were faintly trembling as if facing rejection.
“Is that…
the Heavenly Immortal Dao Power, drawing on the power of the passage of time?
So, the Heavenly Immortal Dao Unification of Longevity Sect eventually leads to the Dao of longevity coexisting with the heavens?
Controlling the passage of time?”
Chen Dengming was stunned by this deduction.
This speculation was too exaggerated and remote.
If one could truly master the passage of time, then one could get close to the secret of eternal life and unravel the mystery of immortality.
It was feared that even a divine transformation ancestor would hardly be able to touch the surface of it.
Moreover, this speculation may not be accurate.
It was just a random thought he had suddenly conceived.
By now, Third Ancestor Su had landed on the island and was standing in the plaza outside the great hall, displaying an elegant demeanor.
Chen Dengming and the others also landed one by one.
When they landed and stood in front of the great hall, they suddenly felt themselves becoming insignificant.
The ancient and simple hall shrouded in the mist seemed like an insurmountable vault of heaven, imposing and grand.
Behind its mysterious coldness, it emitted a complex sense of deep love.
At the top of the hall’s wall, a line was inscribed in the ancient language of the cultivation world – “Heaven and Earth are not benevolent, and all things are but straw dogs to them!”
Seeing that line of words.
Everyone’s mind was deeply shocked, and different people had different interpretations and feelings.
Some people envisioned a scene of heavenly wrath in the form of unstoppable rain turning into a flood, drowning all living beings, or the scorching sun baking the earth, causing devastation everywhere.
They turned pale.
Others pictured a scene of spring rain nourishing everything, warm sunlight bringing life, creating a harmonious scene of beauty, and couldn’t help but smile.
