But this last resort, fraught with major uncertainties, offered little hope for a successful re-cultivation in the future.
…
Within the Hall of Human Heart.
After establishing a mental connection with Qiu Feng, Chen Dengming was exceedingly surprised.
“Sect Leader Qiu actually doesn’t even know where he is now?”
No wonder after so many years, the sect dispatched search parties of cultivators seven or eight times, but they were never able to find the whereabouts of Qiu Feng and Cheng Zhenwei and others.
...
They could only find traces nearby the secret pathway that seemed to indicate a past battle.
But it was also impossible to determine whether it was Qiu Feng and others who had clashed with someone, or if it was a result of the wars that erupted in the Four Regions.
In any case, these groups that went to explore the secret pathways years ago, seemed to have evaporated from the mortal world.
It turns out these people had been attacked and, while fleeing, accidentally entered a death zone, losing all contact with the outside world.
Through the recent communication with Qiu Feng, he also basically understood.
Over the years, Sect Leader Qiu and Master Cheng had been completely isolated from the world, unaware that the wars that had erupted were no longer simply conflicts between the Four Regions, but involved Outer Realm Evil Cultivators.
The other party was also unaware that he had now become the Sect Leader, having broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
However, Chen Dengming had yet to inform the other party of this news, deciding it would be wiser to locate them first.
“A place set with a special domain, possessing three types of fierce creatures, each capable of threatening the now complete Golden Core Qiu Feng and late-stage Golden Core Cheng Zhenwei…
This place is unusual…”
Chen Dengming once again penetrated Qiu Feng’s spirit with his mind, and with the other’s consent, planted a Spirit Seed in the depths of his spirit.
Then, he did the same with Cheng Zhenwei’s spirit.
It didn’t matter that these two were unclear about their location.
All he needed to do was to use heartfire to penetrate the depths of their spirits, plant a Spirit Seed, and then he could find them through the obscure connection between their spirits.
This method, if used to search for enemies, would be met with resistance unless there was a significant difference in strength, making it difficult to be effective.
But since Qiu Feng and others did not resist, it was much easier.
…
Some time later.
Qiu Feng and Cheng Zhenwei looked at each other inside the cave, both their minds filled with doubt and astonishment.
“Sect Brother Qiu, what kind of strength does the Taoist son posses now?”
Unable to help himself, Cheng Zhenwei asked first.
Qiu Feng hesitated before responding, “When we left the sect, he was at the mid-stage Golden Core level.
Now, after decades, it seems…
he must have reached the peak of Golden Core, right?
His cultivation speed is indeed fast…”
“Peak of Golden Core?”
Cheng Zhenwei felt suspicious, glanced at Qiu Feng, and mumbled, “Why do I feel…
it’s like he’s even stronger?”
For a moment, Qiu Feng also fell into silence.
They both could feel as if a nail had been hammered into their spirits, an uncomfortable sensation, occasionally sensing the presence of this nail, like a fishbone stuck in their throat.
Even slight contact with their minds would evoke an intense pressure that made their spirits tremble.
Peak of Golden Core…
seemed not to be this strong, right?
This Taoist son, couldn’t have already reached Nascent Soul, could he?
As the two stared at each other, and then at each other’s scruffy bearded appearances, they both laughed.
Qiu Feng cleared his throat, feeling better at the thought of possibly being freed soon, and said, “It might not be too long before the Taoist son brings people to find us.
We haven’t cared about our appearance for these many decades; it’s time to tidy ourselves up.”
…
Once Chen Dengming’s spirit exited the Hall of Human Heart, he contacted his Incense Fire Incarnation to gather the remains and set off in search of the location sensed within his spirit.
He wasn’t yet certain whether Qiu Feng and Cheng Zhenwei were located in the Southwest or the Northern Regions.
Therefore, for the time being, he restrained himself and sent his Incense Fire Incarnation to search for their whereabouts.
If they were in the Eastern Region, and the Incense Fire Incarnation was unable to resolve the situation, it wouldn’t be too late for him to intervene personally.
But if those two were in the Southwest or Northern Regions, the situation would be troublesome.
His Martial Immortal Incarnation that had been sent to explore the Three Regions was still in the stage of lying dormant and gathering intelligence.
He could sense that the deeper he delved into the markets or Immortal Cities of the Three Regions, close to the camps of the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators, the more intense the sense of oppression and rejection became.
Clearly, once the Martial Immortal Incarnation approached the bustling areas controlled by the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators, it would stand out like a firefly in the dark night and would be exposed and endangered in an instant.
Given the grave situation in these Three Regions, he absolutely could not venture there recklessly.
Because his name as the Fighting Longevity Monarch Chen Baimao was already notorious and widely recognized in the camps of the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators, having been placed third on the deadly blacklist of their battlefield.
Ahead of Chen Baimao, there were only two others branded with infamy by the high ranks of the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators, both bitterly detested.
One was Dongfang Huayuan, viewed by the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators as the greatest traitor, who had recently provoked immense hatred by killing the Blood God.
The other was the Longevity Taoist Lord Lu Xiucheng, who, after killing the Heavenly Crystal Dao Monarch and severely wounding the Blood God, as well as stealthily ambushing and crippling multiple Dao Monarchs, was placed at the top of the blacklist.
For a Nascent Soul to be ranked among the top three on the blacklist alongside two Divine Transformation experts truly shows the darkness of that list.
But when one considers the identities of the many Nascent Soul Evil Cultivators slain by the Fighting Longevity Monarch, not being either the main or vice leaders of the Demon Sect’s Six Paths or the saints and Elders of the Three Saints Palaces,
That most hate-provoking battle record indeed deserves its notoriety.
As a result, no matter how covertly and humbly Chen Dengming continued his secluded cultivation, the legends about him that circulated in the battlegrounds of both factions of cultivators remained persistent and widespread.
…
A day later.
The Incense Fire Incarnation set out alone, following the guidance of Chen Dengming’s Spirit Seed detection to seek out Qiu Feng and Cheng Zhenwei.
Meanwhile, Chen Dengming himself was hosting an emissary from the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance within the Longevity Hall.
After the Dao children had presented the guest with fragrant tea and spiritual fruits, the emissary partook of them as a matter of courtesy and then politely produced a jade token that recorded battle achievements along with a list of various materials, handing them to Chen Dengming for his perusal, and spoke with utmost respect.
“Senior Chen!
Your total battle achievements amount to 326,450 points, with access to three types of first-level battle achievements and two types of second-level battle achievements.
You may request an exchange for any type of Spiritual Material, Spiritual Treasure, Spiritual Pet, including Spirit Vein domains, Furnace Tripods, or any special needs listed here.”

Chen Dengming took the items with satisfaction, scanning them with his Divine Sense, and replied with a casual smile,
“Last time, I had mentioned to Elder Zuo that I wished to exchange for an excellently recorded Qi Escaping Skill in Spirit Runes.
Is it included in these materials?”
The emissary bowed reverently with a smile, “Indeed, this skill has been especially brought here by this junior, precisely because Senior Chen had personally mentioned it before.”
Chen Dengming’s expression brightened upon hearing this, “That is very good news!”
The Qi Escaping Skill was one of the most exquisite Escape Skills and was exceedingly rare in the market.
This skill was created by a True Monarch of the already extinct One Qi Sect from the ancient times.
Upon using this skill, one could merge into the Spiritual Energy to move swiftly, even more convenient and quick than the Five Elements Escape Skill.
Up to this point in his cultivation, Chen Dengming had only ever seen two persons practicing and employing this skill.
One was Feng Qingbo, the Grand Ancestor of the Yingyue Sect.
The other was the Ruthless Old Demon Tao Tian, whom he himself had killed.
While the former had no intention of teaching or gifting the Daoism,
The latter, though having met his end at Chen Dengming’s hand, unfortunately had no record of the Qi Escaping Skill among his possessions.
Chen Dengming had long coveted this skill, but it remained elusive until now.
Now, as the Sect Master of the Longevity Sect, having established many merits, he had finally managed to exchange for this skill through the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance…
