My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 234 The Dao Ancestor is a Little Girl

Ten heavens?
For a moment, all the immortals present who were close to the Dao were slightly moved.

They had all embarked on the path of the ten heavenly steps, and now they heard that in extremely ancient times, possibly even during the early years of the First Immortal Lord's cultivation, these ten heavens had appeared!
So what is the relationship between these ten heavens and these ten heavenly staircases?
At this moment, all the immortals who were close to the Dao couldn't help but have such a thought in their minds.

They were all beings born after the First Immortal Lord stepped onto the tenth Heavenly Rank. The First Immortal Lord was also the fastest disappearing immortal who reached the tenth Heavenly Rank. It was as if her appearance was merely to show the beings of the world how to step onto the tenth Heavenly Rank and cultivate to the tenth Heavenly Rank.

Because after the First Immortal Lord stepped onto the tenth Heavenly Rank with astonishing speed, he only came to this Outer Heaven once and then disappeared without a trace.

In addition, this first immortal master left behind many incredible secrets.

In particular, her specialty, the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture," is considered the most wicked cultivation method in the history of the Dao. The mere surviving copy of the "Outer Mind Realm" has instilled fear in many near-Dao immortals.

This technique is indeed powerful in killing, but no matter how strong the killing technique is, it will be helpless after the appearance of this outer realm.

Because it is as if this method is the source of everything in the world, and can suppress all great forces innately!
Even a near-immortal at the tenth level of the Heavenly Rank would experience various discomforts when attempting to break through the "Outer Mind Realm," as if they were doing something utterly rebellious.

It is precisely for this reason that this group of near-Dao immortals who have embarked on the path of the Ten Heavenly Ranks have set out to pursue the First Immortal Lord's trail and explore ancient secrets.

Every near-immortal present had a premonition that as long as they could decipher the mysteries of this matter, even if they couldn't know exactly what this ancient secret was, it would definitely make their path to the Heavenly Realm smoother.

Each step into a higher level of the Heavenly Realm is no less than a life-or-death battle fought with all one's might. The victor ascends to a higher level, while the loser vanishes into thin air, leaving no trace of existence, not even the past.

This is why most near-immortals dare not tread the path of the ten heavenly staircases, choosing instead to live for ten thousand epochs before perishing in the great calamity.

Because a cataclysmic event would not destroy any trace of a near-immortal's past existence.

As long as there is any trace of existence, this near-Dao Immortal still has the possibility of returning. Even if the near-Dao Venerable position no longer exists and he cannot immediately ascend to the position, there is still a great possibility of him ascending to the position.

However, things change after reaching the tenth Heavenly Rank. Not only is lifespan limited before the seventh Heavenly Rank, but breakthroughs also involve various great terrors. After the seventh Heavenly Rank, one must use oneself as a Dao Seed to achieve supreme transcendence.

The seventh Heavenly Rank uses oneself as a seed to condense the Dao Seed; the eighth Heavenly Rank creates countless possibilities and infinite power, causing the Dao Seed to sprout; the ninth Heavenly Rank allows the Dao Seed to blossom, marking the initial step towards transcendence; the tenth Heavenly Rank achieves the power of transcendence, taking a single step towards transcendence!
This is the path taken by the First Immortal Lord, and it is also the cultivation direction chosen by all near-Dao Immortals after stepping onto the path of the Ten Heavenly Ranks.

Because this is a successful path.

Following the First Immortal Lord, five more near-Dao Immortals of the Ten Heavenly Ranks have emerged, achieving a breakthrough in one step.

However, this is not the end of these ten Heavenly Paths.

This is precisely the reason why several immortals who have transcended the Dao in one step have come to this place!

These few near-immortals who had transcended the Dao in one step all suspected that the disappearance of the First Immortal Lord was very likely due to taking the second step after transcendence!

Even the third step!

After all, the First Immortal Lord is a universally acknowledged Dao Ancestor who has transcended the Dao!

He is the teacher of all those who are close to the Dao and are of high moral character!
The first thing anyone who ascends to the throne must do is to perform a worship ceremony and honor the First Immortal Lord as their master. This is because the First Immortal Lord has imprinted the ten paths of the Heavenly Ranks on the Heavenly Dao of the Void Heavens. As soon as someone successfully ascends to the throne, they will immediately obtain complete information related to the ten paths of the Heavenly Ranks.

"The Outer Heavens are inaccessible to the physical body; only the true spirit can enter. However, I can sense that the First Immortal Lord once entered the Outer Heavens..."

A celestial being who had just transcended the Dao spoke.

This person, named Beitian, was thus revered as the Immortal Lord of Beitian. His aura was unfathomable, and his figure, though present, seemed to have fallen into countless forms, manifesting in all the void of the heavens.

This is the incredible, supreme power of transcendence.

Possessing such power is an immeasurable force; with a single thought, one can influence everything in an entire world.

However, most of the time, a celestial lord would not do such a thing.

Even a grain of sand in an era, falling on an ordinary person, is as heavy as a mountain, let alone such an impact that involves everything in the world.

A single, casual thought can cause the death of countless lives.

"Let's retreat for now and come back later." Another near-immortal who had transcended the Dao spoke up. This time, even though they had all gathered here, they were unable to gain anything.

However, this is already the biggest gain.

They hadn't paid any attention to this Outer Heaven before, regarding it merely as a place for the defeated to linger. But now, it seemed that even they, near-immortals who had just transcended the Dao, could be blocked. The power possessed by this Outer Heaven was simply unbelievable!

Even if their guesses involve the realm of transcending the second step, it should not be like this!
As soon as this near-Dao Immortal who had transcended the Dao spoke, the other near-Dao Immortals who had stepped onto the ten Heavenly Ranks instantly departed. This was the incredible aspect of stepping onto the Heavenly Ranks; any place within this Void Heaven could be reached with a single thought, as if one possessed some special authority within this Void Heaven.

If you don't set foot there, you can only travel back through the void.

Furthermore, after cultivating to the level of transcendence, one can perceive everything in the void and the heavens in an instant. If one cannot perceive it, then it must involve another level of transcendence.

At this moment, the other near-Dao Immortals who had stepped onto the tenth Heavenly Path had all left, but the few Immortal Lords who had transcended in one step had all stayed behind.

Of the five immortal lords of the Void Heavens, four have arrived at this moment.

"They've all left, why aren't the three of you leaving?" The Northern Heaven Immortal Lord spoke first. Although near-Dao Immortals would all regard the First Immortal Lord as their master and respect his position as one who had transcended the Dao Ancestor, they would not call each other fellow disciples unless they had a very good relationship.

This address of "fellow Daoist" indicates that the relationship between these four immortal lords is not very good.

"Fellow Daoist Beitian didn't leave either, did he? Let's not beat around the bush, we all felt it. That transcendent Dao Ancestor once entered in his physical body, but we are unable to enter in our physical bodies."

That's why the four of them chose to stay.

"I have decided to enter with my true spirit!" Upon hearing this, the Northern Heavenly Immortal Lord said directly.
