The Soul Ghost Lingers!
It’s Hard to Speak When Meeting Old Friends Again.
Time in the Four Regions, sixty days after the Divine Transformation battle occurred in the Bright Cloud Mountain Range of the North and South regions.
...
In the high sky near Wind Matter Square in the Eastern Region, a grand and vast aura emerged faintly from deep within the clouds.
Then, from deep within the clouds, two flashes of Spiritual Light twinkled, and the vast aura rapidly retracted, leaving only a strong and a weak trace of Spiritual Might.
Within the clouds, Chen Dengming, clad in an ordinary blue robe, his body covered with a thin layer of Spiritual Light, hovered quietly.
The clouds drifting nearby were dispersed by his strong aura before they could even approach him.
Next to him, Qiao Zhaoxian’s aura was much weaker; he shook his head and sighed, “Old Chen, my Sect Leader Chen, you truly have a higher skill.
Not only did you advance to Nascent Soul, but you also managed to comprehend the path of Heavenly Destiny.
I’m far behind you.
Let alone comprehending the path of Sky Life, my cultivation level has only just broken through to Complete Golden Core.
Breaking through to Nascent Soul, that’s going to take even more time…”
Chen Dengming glanced at Qiao Zhaoxian and laughed, “Old Qiao, speaking such disheartening words doesn’t suit your temperament.
Plus, I’ve said that I was granted the convenience of Heavenly Time.
Though it appears we both cultivated for sixty days, I have actually cultivated for sixty years.
In sixty years, I’ve broken through from Complete Golden Core to Nascent Soul and also fortuitously comprehended a Heavenly Destiny path.
That’s not too much, is it?
If you, Qiao Zhaoxian, were given sixty years, wouldn’t you break through to Nascent Soul and comprehend the path of Sky Life?”
“How could that not be possible…”
Qiao Zhaoxian shook his head.
He still possessed pride and confidence, after all, he was a Daoist of the sect, a talent among the chosen ones.
If he, like Chen Dengming, had access to resources of sixty years of Heavenly Time, he was confident he could break through and comprehend the path of Sky Life.
But the key was, being a Daoist of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he did not have the resources of Heavenly Time available.
“The Longevity Sect has it good, having resources such as Heavenly Time at your disposal…”
Qiao Zhaoxian said enviously.
Chen Dengming curiously asked, “Don’t your Daoists of the Heavenly Dao Sect have similar, or corresponding benefits?”
Qiao Zhaoxian’s eyes flipped, he puffed out his chest, “How could there not be?
Our Daoists of the Heavenly Dao Sect directly receive the infusion of the Power of Heavenly Dao into our bodies, which can forcefully break through cultivation bottlenecks, greatly shortening the cultivation time…”
He said this, becoming smug again, “By that calculation, the time you save in cultivation with Heavenly Time, compared to the time we save after breaking through bottlenecks with Heavenly Dao Baptism, isn’t that much different…”
“However, I’ve reserved the opportunity of Heavenly Dao Baptism for use in the Nascent Soul phase.”
Having said that, seeing Chen Dengming’s expression remain calm and unrippled, Qiao Zhaoxian smiled, “How about that?
My strategy isn’t bad, is it?”
Chen Dengming realized and his calm face showed an expression of admiration, “Indeed, that’s not bad, I didn’t expect your Heavenly Dao Sect to have such benefits.”
Despite saying this, his heart remained unmoved.
Were there bottlenecks in cultivation?
Were there?
Throughout his cultivation journey, he had never encountered any bottlenecks and hadn’t tasted what it felt like to face one.
Fortunately, the Daoists’ benefit of the Longevity Sect was Heavenly Time, not Heavenly Dao Baptism, otherwise it would have been utterly useless for him.
“Speaking of which, whether it be Heavenly Time or Heavenly Dao Baptism, both are just manifestations of the top power of the Two Paths of Life, and both belong to the things of the Heavenly Immortal Path.”
Qiao Zhaoxian looked at Chen Dengming, his smile implying deeper meanings, “I think…
if one day we have a say, why not try to persuade the Ancestor to allow an exchange of opportunities for Heavenly Time and Heavenly Dao Baptism?”
Chen Dengming smiled at the words, noncommittally, as Heavenly Dao Baptism, which breaks through bottlenecks, was useless for him, and exchanging it would only reduce his resources of Heavenly Time, harming him without benefit.
Qiao Zhaoxian pouted, “Looking at you, you don’t seem very interested?
Whether it’s Heavenly Time or Heavenly Dao Baptism, both are likely to have a lesser effect the higher one’s power level is, and need the expenditure of a lot of immortal power.
You don’t think you could effectively use Heavenly Time with even stronger power, do you?”
“Oh?”
Chen Dengming’s eyebrows raised; this situation was the first he had heard of.
But once he had heard the Ancestor mention that creating a Heavenly Time environment required the expenditure of a lot of Heavenly Immortal Dao Power.
Therefore, each generation of Daoists, upon breaking through a minor realm, could only get some support and cultivation from Heavenly Time resources.
The Heavenly Immortal Dao Power used to create the Heavenly Time environment could be directly absorbed by the Daoist.
Expending some also meant that the share of Heavenly Immortal Dao Power available for the Daoists to absorb would be squeezed, naturally needing control.
And it could also be presumed that the stronger one’s power, the more Heavenly Time resources would be used, and it would also exhaust much longevity.
Unless one had as much longevity as he, or was young like Qiao Zhaoxian, a typical cultivator wouldn’t have much demand for this unless absolutely necessary.

To Qiao Zhaoxian’s eager desire and need, Chen Dengming expressed that he would speak well of him in front of the Ancestor in the future.
Whether the agreement was ultimately reached depended on his own Ancestor’s attitude.
Old Qiao, after all, was a brother who had experienced life and death together with him; Chen Dengming was willing to help if he could.
However, even between true brothers, clear accounts must be kept; even if Old Qiao真 did gain the opportunity to enjoy Heavenly Time, the Heavenly Immortal Dao Power needed to create the Heavenly Time environment would have to be provided by the Heavenly Dao Sect and could not use the resources of the Longevity Sect’s Dao Power.
During their exchange, they had also ascertained the safety of their surroundings by their respective means.
Under the observation of Heavenly Vision, Chen Dengming discovered that just five to six hundred miles away, there were cultivators fighting, quite a number of them, and the commotion was huge, with Golden Core cultivators clashing.
