My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

It is said that there are three souls and seven spirits, so what are the three souls and the seven spirits?

All living beings are projections of the true spiritual power onto the material world.

That true spiritual power is the Heavenly Soul.

After reincarnation, the Heavenly Soul acquires a physical form, thus gaining the foundation to gather the three major substances.

Immortal matter condenses divine essence, which is unconscious spirituality. This unconscious spirituality, through aggregation, gives rise to instinctive consciousness, and the condensation of instinctive consciousness gives rise to self-conscious spirituality.

Instinctive consciousness and spirituality are the earth's soul, while self-consciousness and spirituality are the human soul.

The soul is a combination of spirituality and intelligence; the spirit is spirituality, and the soul is intelligence.

The celestial soul, the terrestrial soul, and the human soul together constitute the soul of a living being.

Self-spirituality is formed only when instinctive spirituality gathers to a certain degree.

Therefore, the foundation of the human soul is the earth soul.

The mind and spirit that practitioners have always talked about are actually the human soul, while the spiritual consciousness is actually the earth soul.

Practitioners differentiate their personal spirituality and instinctive spirituality from their soul, allowing them to control their power more precisely.

The seven souls are Qi, strength, and essence. The spirit is represented by the Heavenly Rush, the Spiritual Wisdom, and the Central Pivot.

It is a node that separates from the Earth Soul and connects the Heavenly and Human Souls, governing the meridian network of the body.

The soul corresponds to the physical form of a living being; without a soul, the body cannot gather power.

The phrase "soul flies away and spirit scatters" is often used by people. "Soul flies away" refers to the destruction of the human soul, while "spirit scatters" refers to the destruction of the earth's soul.

The important thing is not the soul's flight, but its disintegration.

Once the soul is scattered, it can no longer gather instinctive consciousness and spirituality. Without instinctive consciousness and spirituality, there is no way to condense self-consciousness and spirituality.

The traces of a living being are instinctual consciousness and self-awareness.

Even instinctual instincts differ; human instincts are distinct from human instincts, while demon instincts are distinct from demon instincts.

This is the purpose of the human race in constructing the system of Yin gods.

The cycle of reincarnation washes away all spirituality, leaving only the power of the true spirit, which is the reincarnation of the celestial soul.

In this cycle of reincarnation, a living being may randomly be reborn as any race, or even as a tree or a stone.

Humans, by constructing their own Yin God system, can send a wisp of instinctive consciousness or even a wisp of self-awareness from the human soul into reincarnation.

This ensures that reincarnated humans remain human and can even inherit some of their original characteristics.

In the process of death, the first thing that separates from the body is the soul.

Because the earth spirit is so closely connected to the physical body, it can only escape smoothly after the body has decomposed. However, this process is a gradual one, so the human soul will gradually draw upon the earth spirit's power.

Only when the human soul fully absorbs the power of the earth soul can the heavenly soul appear and combine with the human soul to become a complete soul.

During the process of the earth soul being separated, the human soul is extremely fragile because it lacks the protection of the heavenly soul and true spirit rules, and is therefore also called the yin soul.

If a person's soul is controlled by the underground passage during this period, it will condense into a ghost body and become a member of the ghost race.

Of course, even the most cunning methods of seizing a living soul must have a legitimate reason and be justified; this is what is meant by "yin shou" (陰寿).

Because a cultivator's human soul and earth soul have been condensed through cultivation, they will leave the body at the moment of death.

The celestial soul also left the body, and the soul directly merged into one.

With the protection of the Heavenly Soul, a cultivator's soul can directly condense spiritual energy and transform into a Yin Body or a Ghost Body. With a Ghost Body, one can be called a Ghost Clan member, and a Ghost Clan member who is not controlled by the Earthly Dao.

Therefore, the underworld does not allow this situation to occur.

Therefore, there are special underworld generals who hunt down these ghosts.

The human underworld gathers these ghosts and transforms them into human beings.

With humanitarian protection in place, the underground passage had no choice but to acknowledge the existence of these demons.

These demons have memories of their time as humans, so they can be identified as human.

This also boosted the strength of the human race.

Moreover, the human way is the way of all living beings, so including the ghost race in the human way is perfectly justified and has a legitimate reason.

Some souls that are damaged or lack intelligence are sent to the mortal realm by the underworld through small cycles of reincarnation to restore their physical bodies and complete their souls.

Although this is a kind of resurrection, its purpose is to complete the soul, clear away karma, and replace the lifespan of the underworld.

Because of the existence of the Yin-Shou system, such behavior is legitimate and justified.

In the end, the three struggles for power are nothing more than vying for legitimacy and a justifiable cause. There is no more legitimate and justifiable means than using their own methods against them.

The divine position comes with its own underworld, which can be seen as an imaginary space in the netherworld, capable of protecting the spirits from harm.

The spirits guided by the spirits will first enter their underworld to recuperate and wait for their three souls to coalesce.

The reason why the human race is strong enough to suppress the demon race is because of its wisdom and spirit of sacrifice.

In the hearts of most humans, the importance of inheritance surpasses the importance of themselves.

Unity is a means of protecting and preserving traditions.

Sacrifice thus became the mainstream of human warfare.

Sacrifice is made because of hope.

Being remembered after death and being able to be reborn as a human to enjoy the happiness brought by one's sacrifice can make the human race more unafraid of sacrifice.

Therefore, the position of reincarnation god is very important to a race like the human race that values ​​inheritance and sacrifice.

It can strengthen the will of humankind and make them know that all sacrifices are worthwhile.

It's not easy for the underworld to gather divine positions.

There are fewer than three thousand City Gods in the entire underworld.

These three thousand positions of City God will be distributed among the twenty-four Heavenly Courts.

Although the number of City Gods in prefectures and counties is greater than that in the capital, even divided into twenty-four parts, it's not that many.

Therefore, the divine position that Zhao Xuan obtained from the underworld and Zhu Guang is extremely important for the future Great Zhao Heavenly Court.

After obtaining a divine position, the natural next step is to confer divine status.

Zhao Xuan handed over the positions of one thousand prefectural city gods and ten thousand county city gods to Zhao Mingxuan, instructing him to find suitable people to confer the titles of gods and begin guiding the souls of the deceased of the Great Zhao Dynasty.

There are eleven thousand divine positions, along with tens of thousands of auxiliary divine positions. Although the auxiliary divine positions do not have the effect of the underworld or suppression, they can guide souls into the underworld of the main god.

Demon hunters are definitely the best choice for auxiliary god positions.

The divine position can help demon hunters suppress their own fortune, help them alleviate the strangulation of the demon race's fortune, and slow down the passage of their lifespan.

Moreover, after suppressing the souls of demons, their demonic instincts and self-awareness can be washed away, and a way can be found to reincarnate them as humans, thus increasing the foundation of the human race.

The more chaotic the human race becomes, the more demon hunters there are. To put it bluntly, being a demon hunter is a path that cultivators have no choice but to take.

However, there is no doubt that demon hunters, by hunting demonic beasts, are just like human assassins who have made great contributions to the human race.

For ten thousand years, the Great Zhao Dynasty has established a stable social and cultivation order, so the number of demon hunters has been decreasing.

After all, having rendered great service to the human race, being granted the position of Assistant God can also send a signal to human cultivators that they will not forget their meritorious service, making the cultivators of the Great Zhao Dynasty feel a greater sense of belonging.

Zhao Mingcheng then handed the matter over to Zhao Ningde.

After all, Zhao Mingcheng's absolute faith has been almost fully formed, and there is still a long time to strengthen it.

This also paved the way for Zhao Mingcheng to become the Human Emperor and for Zhao Ningde to consolidate absolute faith.

Zhao Xuan began to think about how to merge with the Dao Earth Star.

Relying on the innate divine power brought about by the possession of the elephant body, Zhao Xuan went straight into the core of the Earth.

Earth's core is a condensed form of a dark yellow substance with a diameter of 100,000 miles, resembling a fireball.

However, in Zhao Xuan's eyes, who was using the innate divine body of the elephant, it was a violent burst of energy.

Above the primordial matter, there resided a dense array of chains of rules.

Creation, destruction, stars, hills, the four symbols, the five elements, and so on—all imaginable rules are contained within the core of Earth.

These chains of rules extend out from the star's core, weaving a vast net that surrounds Earth.

The source of these chains of rules is each and every True Spirit Mark.

This indicates that these rules were not innate, but were implanted into the star core by innate deities.

A True Spirit Mark radiating a mysterious aura appeared in Zhao Xuan's hand, only one-tenth the size of the True Spirit Marks left by those innate saints.

However, Zhao Xuan did not feel that anything was wrong. Only those who have comprehended more than 50% of the Primordial Laws can be called true innate saints. Zhao Xuan can only be called an innate saint nascent body at present.

The mark of the true spirit is only one-tenth the size of those true innate deities.

When Zhao Xuan imprinted the True Spirit Mark into the star core, he felt tremendous resistance.

They knew this was Earth's consciousness resisting external forces trying to control it.

The power of Earth spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm, and like the void of the Immortal Realm, Earth's core is divided into fifty layers.

Except for the Chaos Realm, which is unaffected, the remaining fifty layers of the void are all affected by Earth.

The deeper the True Spirit Imprint penetrates into the fifty layers of the Star Core, the closer the connection with Earth becomes, and the more Earth's power can be harnessed.

Looking at the two True Spirit Marks on the outermost edge of the Star Core, which were only one-tenth the size of Zhao Xuan's True Spirit, Zhao Xuan knew that they were the marks of the complete forms of the Five Great Earth Spirits: the Earth Spirit and the Dark Sea Spirit.

This level of Dao attainment can only borrow one-fiftieth of the energy of Earth.

Each deeper level allows you to borrow one-fiftieth more energy.

Of course, it is possible to borrow energy, but one-fiftieth is the limit.

How much can be mobilized at once depends on the degree of understanding of the rules.

The laws of Earth are also built around the fifteen primordial laws.

This is equivalent to dividing the power into fifteen parts, and each part is a smaller part, which is equivalent to dividing it into one hundred and fifty parts.

By comprehending even one-tenth of the Primordial Laws, one can mobilize one-hundred-fiftieth of the energy.

One-tenth of the Primordial Law is equivalent to a complete innate rule, meaning that each tenth of the innate law can mobilize one-fifteen-hundredth of the energy.

In other words, even if Zhao Xuan imprints his True Spirit Mark to the same level as the Earth Power and the Dark Sea Spirit, his ability to mobilize the power of Earth will still surpass that of the two.

Because Zhao Xuan can mobilize one-fiftieth of Earth's energy at a time.

Looking at their true spirit levels, which are one-tenth and two-tenths of the innate laws, it is only one-fifth or even one-tenth of Zhao Xuan's.
