In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path Chapter 84

In the depths of the Bright Cloud Mountain Range, in a desolate valley, mournful clouds veiled a strange atmosphere.

Formations and array flags harmoniously generated a dense fog, like a woolly ss draped over the valley, emanating a strong aura of death, creating a peculiarly eerie ambiance.

Inside the valley, it was like a scene from hell, covered with corpses and skeletal remains encased in spider silk.

Liquid oozed from these silk cocoons and gathered in the low-lying areas, forming a sticky, deep pool.

In this pool, a hint of blood-red energy circulated around an ominous silhouette sitting at the center, radiating eerie, evil light.

The valley was vast with nurous boulders, but no sign of life could be found.

...

Every inch of the ground was strewn with bones and corpses.

Those closer to the deep pool were the remnants of gigantic demonic beasts.

Their interlocking bones ford an eerie specter, akin to worshipping the direction of the blood pool, creating a horrifying and bizarre scene.

“Aah!——”

“Spare ——”

Heart-wrenching screams pierced through the gloomy night sky.

Outside the valley, one Cultivator after another was dragged into the valley by spider-like Demonic Beasts.

One mont they were screaming, the next, they were skewered by the spider-like Demonic Beasts’ sword-like legs on the spot, or completely covered and immobilized by the spider-like webbing into a gigantic silk cocoon.

One by one, these silk cocoons, wiggling with living beings within, were transported by the Demonic Beasts to the vicinity of the deep pool.

From within the deep pool, a cold and hoarse voice reverberated, imbued with cruelty, “Hurry, quicken the pace, nourishnt, spiritual materials, resources…

This master needs many more high-quality resources, my breakthrough is imminent……”

Outside the valley, several Cultivators who had been quietly waiting promptly paid their respect, with the foremost one responding, “Ancestor, currently, there aren’t many powerful Loose Cultivators in our borderland.

Most of them have joined the various major families.

Even the Low-status Loose Cultivators have learned to stick together, preferring to be exploited and oppressed than settling in the wilderness.

I originally planned to incite a continuing battle between the Zhu and Luo families to cause chaos in the borderlands.

Then, many more Loose Cultivators who were unable to hide in their safe havens would be hunted by our targeted demonic beasts.

Even the Cultivators of these two families would be dragged into our feud, but now, it’s still not the opportune mont……”

A voice echoed from within the valley, “Hurry up!

Even if our thods stir up so trouble, it won’t matter.

Once this master truly breaks through, all troubles will be resolved easily.”

“Yes!”

…

It was late evening in Brocade Mill.

Chen Dengming obtained two Daoist techniques from Boss Hu using the first part of the Gu Refining Skill.

The first one was a Rank One, Level Five, Wood Elent technique — Skill of Transforming Decrepitude into Glory.

Upon executing this technique, it can heal injuries to so extent and alleviate the effect of evil curses.

The second one was a Rank One, Level Six, tal Elent technique — Golden Air Travel.

This offensive technique allowed one to manipulate the flowing tal Elent spiritual energy in the air, forming countless Gold Needles or sharp blades to attack enemies in an unexpected and seemingly unavoidable manner.

Both of these mid-level Qi Cultivation Techniques, whether in terms of effectiveness, power, or spiritual energy consumption, exceeded that of lower-ranked techniques, making it quite difficult for ordinary Cultivators to master them and execute them instantaneously.

However, Chen Dengming only needed to comprehend them.

Each subsequent practice would improve his understanding and yield insights.

With hard work, he would quickly master these techniques.

As these two techniques were high-level techniques he had never learned before, mastering them would greatly prolong his lifespan.

Currently, Chen Dengming had a lifespan of 322 years, with 84 good years left to live.

With this ample ti, he had enough ti to cultivate till the Foundation Establishnt Stage.

Moreover, he had ambitions to continue cultivating the “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancent Skill” to see if he could enhance his Spiritual Root to even higher levels.

Even though the creator of this divine technique, which was deed suitable for long-lived individuals, the Hundred Loss Demon Path, had died suddenly without being able to master it…

Chen Dengming was unsure of what the result would be if he continued down the path of experintation and cultivation he had started, but he heard rumors that in the Cultivation World, there were Cultivators who possessed a Heavenly Quality Spirit Root, a rank above an excellent spirit root.

For example, the first generation Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect was one such Cultivator.

However, ever since 400 years ago, there have been very few new Cultivators discovered with a Heavenly Quality Spirit Root.

It remained unknown whether they died young or if there was another reason behind it.

As a re Loose Cultivator, Chen Dengming relied on hearsay and couldn’t investigate further.

He couldn’t even verify the authenticity of the information he had, but that didn’t stop him from hoping.

Those with excellent Spirit Roots had a fifty-percent chance to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishnt Stage without relying on a Foundation Establishnt Pill once they reached the tenth level of Qi Cultivation.

If they consud the pill, the success rate would increase to eighty percent.

However, if they failed once, this success rate would significantly decrease.

The rumored Heavenly Quality Spirit Root bearers could naturally breakthrough once they reached a certain bottleneck in their cultivation journey without even needing a Spirit Pill’s aid.

In reality, Chen Dengming, with his cultivation panel, faced practically no obstacle or danger when breaking through minor realms except for the breakthrough from the Innate Stage to the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Once his proficiency reached a certain level, the insight would naturally co, leading to a breakthrough.

However, the step from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishnt was another major hurdle.

Chen Dengming suspected that it was even more dangerous than the shift from the Innate Stage to the Qi Cultivation Stage.

He had yet to attempt or gather more relevant information, hence he didn’t know what to expect.

…

On this day, after obtaining the two Daoist techniques, Chen Dengming intended to explore them throughout the night, but he found himself unable to quiet his unsettling heart and concentrate on cultivation.
