The Nascent Soul of the Passionate Sect’s Lady with the Blade (5.4k for monthly ticket) Chapter 890: 363: Track!
The Nascent Soul of the Passionate Sect’s Lady with the Blade (5.4k for monthly ticket) The fields were a vast expanse of white, and the piercing cold winds of deep winter swept up billows of snow mist, which howled as they raced along the mountains and plains into the distance, resembling a boundless white dragon.
The stars in the distant sky were clear and bright, each one of them dipping low as if they were eyes, watching over the Cultivation World below where all things competed freely amid the frosty heavens.
In fact, at this moment, two of those stars were indeed a pair of eyes, looking down and searching the quiet expanse of whiteness for any signs of suspicion.
These two eyes were actually Chen Dengming, who, using the power of the Heaven Immortal Dao, had cast [Eye of The Heaven], transforming into the form of celestial stars, roving thousands of miles to detect all around.
[Eye of The Heaven] surpassed the [Heavenly Vision] substantially in terms of wide-ranging, long-distance observation.
...
To Chen Dengming, this ability seemed somewhat akin to the satellites of his previous world.
However, even with this capability, finding the True Monarchs of Nascent Soul who intended to hide their tracks deliberately was not an easy task.
Just then, he felt a stirring within, as the Eye of the Heaven had spotted several Spirit Boats flying in from the distance.
It was Feng Qingbo.
Besides, among the vast snowy mountains, there were two other slight fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, located on the path between him and where Feng Qingbo was converging, which caught the attention of the Eye of the Heaven hanging high in the sky.
Even though no Cultivator figures could be seen, those unusual slight surges of energy still led him to conclude that someone was following them using an Escape Skill to remain hidden.
He conjectured that it was most likely two Nascent Soul True Monarchs arranged by the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, as the aura released by their Spiritual Energy matched the badges distributed by the alliance.
This was one standard to distinguish friends from foes.
The other standard was that the aura of Outer Realm Evil Cultivators differed from the cultivators of the Four Regions, and it was easy to identify alliance cultivators through their auras.
Regardless of who they were, Chen Dengming now had a firm grasp of them, marking them in advance.
By this time, Feng Qingbo had already converged and was only a little more than two thousand miles away from the third Nether Spring location.
The two Ghost Ladies and any other potential enemy cultivators had yet to show themselves.
This patience was indeed beyond Chen Dengming’s expectations.
If he had not already confirmed that the two Ghost Ladies were nearby, through the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch, he might even start to doubt whether the enemy had come at all.
“Quite patient, are they planning to wait and make their move at the third Nether Spring?”
Chen Dengming thought to himself with curiosity, taking out the map of the Underground Mansion from the Nether Spring given by the Qianluo Ghost King to check again.
The location of the third Nether Spring was deep within the Fengling Mountain Range, in the Eastern Region.
It was once the site of the Elixir Sect’s gate.
After the fall of the Four Regions, the Nascent Soul ancestors of the Elixir Sect failed to escape, along with various Golden Core Elders, all of whom were summoned by the Five Elements Sword Sovereign to the Five Elements Sword Sect for Alchemy.
The rest of the disciples ended up being divided up like goods among various Outer Realm forces, reduced to mere alchemy craftsmen.
Now, the Fengling Mountain Range had been designated as the Mingguang Sect’s territory, only for the moment the Mingguang Sect had yet to come to take over, leaving the vast mountain range an empty land.

The third Nether Spring was within one of its valleys.
Chen Dengming browsed the information of the third Nether Spring once more.
According to notes on the map, this third Nether Spring was the domain of the Five Mist Nether Spring Ghost Monarch.
The Five Mist Nether Spring Ghost Monarch was actually five Ghost Kings at the initial to late stages of Nascent Soul, who had come together and received the title of Ghost Monarch.
In the world of Ghost Shades, such combinations were extremely rare.
This was because Ghost Cultivators always harbored malicious intents, and the Nascent Soul Ghost Cultivators, being extremely cunning, found it difficult to trust and closely ally with one another.
However, the Five Mist Nether Spring Ghost Monarch was rumored to once be five brothers from the same family, who after being killed by a Ghost Cultivator and made into his five ghosts, managed to avenge themselves after the Ghost Cultivator died in a spell battle, inheriting his Daoism.
After a thousand years of cultivation, they had astonishingly all reached the Nascent Soul Stage, no longer distinguishable from each other, and even possessed a unique skill that allowed them to merge into one entity, rivaling the strength of a Complete Nascent Soul Ghost Monarch.
“If the two Ghost Ladies have set the battlefield at the third Nether Spring, it probably has something to do with the Five Mist Nether Spring Ghost Monarch…
It would be best to contain it and avoid risks.”
Just as Chen Dengming was contemplating this, suddenly the Eye of the Heaven felt another disturbance, sensing an unusual fluctuation.
This fluctuation was unlike the sound of wind or water; it more closely resembled the waves created by a collision of Mind & Divine Sense.
Had it not been for his extraordinary spiritual insight, far beyond that of ordinary men, and the Eye of the Heaven being in a Heavenly Heart State, which made him exceptionally sensitive to all things, he would not have been able to detect such a subtle signal.
Yet despite this, he could not pinpoint the source of the disturbance, but in the depths of his mind, he felt growing unease, and his body hair stood on end as he sensed imminent danger closing in.
“Someone is communicating through Divine Sense or Spirit…
They mustn’t be far.”
Feeling this, Chen Dengming emerged from the cabin, looking around, as his gaze intersected with Mi Changzai’s, who had also noticed something amiss.
If someone on the surrounding Spirit Boats was communicating through Divine Sense or Spirit, it would be difficult to escape his perception, and although he could not determine what was being communicated, he could certainly lock onto the precise direction.
He quickly transmitted a message to Mi Changzai, “I believe I have detected the enemy’s movement.
Be ready; as soon as I confirm their precise location, we’ll act accordingly.”
No sooner did his voice fall than he took a step back amidst Mi Changzai’s surprised gaze, retreating back into the cabin.
His eyes, however, shone with silver light, and a formless, ethereal aura began to rise from him.
