Refining Demons to Become a Taoist: Refining 108,000 Insects at the Beginning.

Chapter 82: Fear of Life and Death, Inescapable Fate

Despite this, Chen Ming was still cautious.

He used the secret art of interpreting the heavens and made some calculations, and only after finding nothing unusual did he agree.

Just sending Lady Spirit Snake's daughter to the border between the East Earth Region and the North Pole Demon Region won't cause any trouble.

It just so happened that Chen Ming was heading north, collecting some spiritual objects, seeing the scenery of the East Land, and settling the matter at the same time.

"Okay, I will send your daughter to the edge of the Arctic Demon Territory. Other things have nothing to do with me!" Chen Ming said.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

"I am about to pass away, please come to Lingshe Mountain!"

After saying this, the flower snake possessed by Lady Spirit Snake suddenly stiffened.

Then, the flower snake became soft again and swam away in a daze.

Chen Ming knew that Madam Spirit Snake could no longer maintain her differentiated spiritual consciousness, her energy was running out, and her life span had come to an end.

The path of cultivation is like going against the flow!

Even if one has cultivated to the state of concentration and entered the state of returning to the origin, as long as one has not seen through the vanity of life and death, one will still not be able to escape the constraints of lifespan and will not be free.

Chen Ming also felt heavy in his heart. He transformed into a beam of light and fled to Lingshe Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanmingzi, you are here!"

Mrs. Snake was unable to move, but still wanted to maintain her dignity.

But her face was already very old, her skin was sagging, and her hair was sparse and almost falling out.

When speaking, it takes a lot of effort to open and close your mouth.

The aura on her body weakened little by little, and her magic power slowly dissipated without being stopped.

"Between life and death, there is great fear!"

"Fellow Daoist Xuanmingzi, I can't break through it!"

“Hehe, even if I have seen through the illusion of life and death, it is useless if I haven’t even entered the Return to Origin Realm!”

Lady Spirit Snake took deep breaths, but it was useless after all.

She used up her last bit of strength, waved her hand, and a small pure white snake emerged from her sleeve.

The little snake, holding a purse in its mouth, swam to Chen Ming's side.

"Send her to..."

Mrs. Spirit Snake spoke intermittently, but before she finished, she lowered her raised hand.

"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Lady Spirit Snake's body collapsed and turned into nine giant pythons that soared into the sky.

But the nine giant pythons did not even reach the height of Lingshe Mountain and dissipated bit by bit.

With a crackling sound, it turned into stone and fell from the sky.

Those fallen stones hit the ground, became contaminated with earth, and with a bang, shattered into a handful of yellow soil.

Mixed in the dust, they can no longer be distinguished.

Madam Spirit Snake just disappeared between heaven and earth without leaving any trace.

"Is this how a cultivator who has exhausted his lifespan returns to heaven and earth?"

Apart from the cultivator in the Concentration State who was killed, this was the first time that Chen Ming saw a cultivator who had exhausted his lifespan and passed away.

I didn't expect it to be like this. I really came naked and left naked.

What is gained from heaven and earth must be returned to heaven and earth and become nutrients for heaven and earth again. How dare we think about this carefully? It contains the great terror between life and death!

Chen Ming lowered his head, looked at the pure white snake, and said, "Are you Bai Ling'er?"

A light emanated from the white snake, and when the light faded, the white snake turned into a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl was gentle and weak, with clear eyes, but she was different from ordinary humans.

Chen Ming unconsciously looked at her legs. They were not human legs, but snake tails. Bai Ling'er felt Chen Ming's gaze and quickly put the snake tail under her dress to cover it up.

"Hello, real person." Bai Ling'er shouted timidly.

Chen Ming said: "No wonder I sent you to the North Pole Demon Territory. It turns out that you are a transformed spirit snake."

Bai Ling'er murmured, "No, my mother is a human, and my father is a dragon snake. I was born like this."

"When I grew up, I could transform into a spirit snake with just a thought."

"So that's how it is. You came to the Arctic Demon Territory to look for your father!" Chen Ming asked.

Bai Ling'er has the blood of a demon, which is different from that of ordinary people and is rare among cultivators.

All along, Madam Lingshe has protected Bai Ling'er in the mountains and never allowed her to contact the outside world.

Bai Ling'er was too well protected, ignorant of the world and innocent.

When Chen Ming asked, she told him everything and held the purse in front of him.

"Mother told me that the things inside are for real people."

"But there is a jade inside, which belongs to me. I will be able to sense where my father's people are when I get to the North Pole Demon Territory with the jade."

Chen Ming took the purse and scanned it with his mind. It was indeed filled with spiritual objects accumulated by Madam Spirit Snake.

He stretched out his hand and moved all the spiritual objects in his pouch into the white bone magic jar.

The remaining spiritual objects of little use, the jade pendant, and the purse were returned to Bai Ling'er.

Bai Ling'er took the purse and said, "Master, my mother told me that except for the jade pendant, all other things are for you."

Chen Ming looked at her serious expression, touched her head, and said with a smile: "That's right, since they were given to me, they are mine, and now I am giving them to you!"

Bai Ling'er lowered her head and thought for a while before she slowly said, "Oh, it was given to me by a real person, so it's mine."

Bai Ling'er put the purse away and laughed, like a child who had received candy.

Seeing her smile, Chen Ming's fear of life and death for Madam Spirit Snake's death faded, and he said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll send you to the North Pole Demon Realm now!"

"Okay!" Bai Ling'er responded obediently.

She followed Chen Ming and after walking a few steps, Chen Ming discovered something was wrong.

"Can't your tail turn into legs?" Chen Ming asked.

Bai Ling'er whispered, "It's OK, but it will take mana to transform into a pair of legs. I'm still in the Qi Attraction Stage, so my mana is shallow and I can't hold on for too long!"

"However, I can transform into a spirit snake without consuming any mana."

Chen Ming thought for a moment and said, "It's not convenient to carry you along like this. It would be better if you could transform into a spirit snake."

"Ok."

Bai Ling'er responded, and with a thought, her human form disappeared and turned into a small white snake.

Chen Ming waved his hand and put Bai Ling'er into his sleeve.

After leaving Lingshe Mountain, the sky had already darkened. Chen Ming identified the direction and headed north.

All that remains is the dead silent Lingshe Mountain, waiting for those who come later.

Chen Ming walked for a while, and suddenly, in the night, a beam of orange fire came from a distance.

Chen Ming sensed the aura and saw that it was a cultivator in the state of concentration, so he stopped.

Not long after, a female cultivator in palace dress was seen passing by, carrying an octagonal palace lantern in her hand.

The orange flame came from the octagonal lantern in the female cultivator's hand.

The female cultivator was none other than the Red Flame Fairy who came out of the Biyun Heavenly Palace.

Fairy Chiyan stopped in front of Chen Ming and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you know the location of the Lotus Temple?"
