My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

The Shangqing Yuanshi Temple was in charge of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, and it benefited from it regardless of the circumstances, so it is not included in the calculation.

To compensate Yuqing Tongtian, of the seventy percent of Xuanmen's merits, three percent went to Yuqing Tongtian, two percent to Taiqing Laozi, one percent to Nuwa, and one percent to the Heavenly Court.

Taiqing Laozi, as the chief disciple of the Xuanmen sect, advocated for the sect.

The origins and education of these five individuals were all the responsibility of the Xuanmen (mystical sect).

In other words, all five of them came from the Xuanmen sect.

Tang Xuanzang and Sha Wujing were both human beings, Taiqing Laozi was a saint of human religion, and Nuwa was the saint of human beings. Therefore, most of the rest of the human race were contained in these two.

Sun Wukong, the spiritual stone monkey, does not belong to any of the ten categories, but he was transformed from the stone used to mend the sky, so he can be considered to have originated from Nuwa's palace.

Zhu Bajie was first born as a human, then reincarnated as a demon. Nuwa was both a saintly figure of the human race and a saintly figure of the demon race.

Ao Lielong Clan, the guardian deity clan of the human race.

Then comes education. Since the causal relationship between birth and education accounts for more than 70%, the education process will be slightly more relaxed.

Zhu Bajie's original form was Zhu Ganglie. Taiqing Laozi would send a Nine-Turn Golden Pill to the mortal world to help him become an immortal.

Zhao Xuan's current identity is that of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill that helped Zhu Ganglie become an immortal.

They rightfully entered the Three Realms.

Of course, in matters of education, powerful figures within Buddhism will naturally oversee the situation, preventing the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) from going too far and creating too deep a karmic connection with the people.

Zhao Xuan seized the opportunity to escape, bypassing the surveillance of the Buddhist master.

The primordial world is a three-realm system, namely the nine heavens of the Immortal Realm, the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Netherworld Realm.

After descending from the Great Luo Heaven, one must first pass through the Nine Heavens to reach the Earthly Immortal Realm, which is the main body of the primordial world.

It is equivalent to Earth in the realm of immortals and humans.

The Nine Heavens are also the Thirty-Six Heavens. Each of the Nine Heavens is born with three Qi, and each of the three Qi evolves into a Heaven, making up the Thirty-Six Heavens.

It is the ancestral home of the Xuanmen sect and a place where immortals and gods gather.

After Zhao Xuan entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, he separated the Nine-Turn Golden Pill and his main body became invisible, flying directly to Flower Fruit Mountain in the East Sea.

After Zhao Xuan arrived at Huaguo Mountain, he used his divine sense to delve into the depths of space and immediately discovered that several divine senses were enveloping Huaguo Mountain. He knew that these were powerful figures from the Buddhist sect who had sent people to monitor the situation at Huaguo Mountain.

Or perhaps it was to monitor the situation of the Heaven-Mending Stone.

It's said that women are more emotional. Nuwa, the sage, suffered three losses in the past two great eons. The Buddhist sect was afraid of any trouble, so they kept a very tight watch on the stone used to mend the sky.

However, this did not stump Zhao Xuan. Zhao Xuan's Void Law was already close to 80%, and he could transform his body into a size of 10 to the power of negative 29 and introduce it into the deepest part of space.

The resulting fluctuation value was 10 to the power of negative 29 seconds. Even a sage would not be able to detect Zhao Xuan's divine essence without a full investigation, let alone a group of people who were not even Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Passing through the vast net of divine consciousness laid out by the Buddhist sect, Zhao Xuan silently merged into the Heaven-Mending Divine Stone.

Zhao Xuan's plan was to nourish the Heaven-Mending Stone to make it even stronger, so that Sun Wukong would be unable to escape at certain times.

Moreover, the level of the Heaven-Mending Stone is still a bit low. Zhao Xuan wants to make Sun Wukong's foundation stronger, strong enough that he can cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal or even the Quasi-Saint realm in the shortest time.

Once the power level is activated and the calamity energy is upon him, Sun Wukong will be able to quickly cultivate into a saint, which will then bring disaster to the entire prehistoric world.

If the cultivation path in the human-immortal realm focuses on matter, that is, essence, then it is because even innate deities find it difficult to cultivate without a physical body.

Therefore, the focus of the primordial world is Qi.

Perhaps it is related to Pangu creating the world and transforming his body into all things. Pangu's primordial spirit transformed into the Three Pure Ones, and his essence and blood transformed into the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Therefore, the amount of his spirit and energy that dissipated in the primordial world was much less than the amount of energy that transformed into all things.

After Zhao Xuan entered the Heaven-Mending Stone, he discovered that the energy between heaven and earth was constantly flowing into the Heaven-Mending Stone, harmonizing the energy within it.

At the core of these energies, a spiritual energy is gathering, and a nascent self-awareness is being nurtured within it.

Zhao Xuan knew that this was the future Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly and sent a message to that bewildered consciousness.

The speed at which a vague consciousness develops into self-awareness accelerates several times, and then the energy between heaven and earth converges towards spirituality even more rapidly.

Zhao Xuan gradually incorporated his Xuanhuang Qi, which he had diluted countless times, into the stone. Influenced by the Xuanhuang Qi, the Heaven-Mending Stone's absorption rate of spiritual energy returned to normal.

The Buddhists responsible for monitoring all of this were completely unaware of it.

Zhao Xuan transmitted the operating method of his "Mastering the Root of All Laws Scripture" to the ignorant consciousness of the Heaven-Mending Divine Stone, causing it to automatically operate the "Root of Great Law" to absorb the Xuanhuang Qi to replenish its own foundation.

Unlike the Human Immortal Realm, the true spirits of beings in the Human Immortal Realm are primordial matter controlled by the Three Paths, making it difficult for them to break through the limitations of true spirits.

The true spirits of all living beings in the primordial world were controlled by themselves from the very beginning, and were formed from a wisp of energy.

This mass of energy is the true spirit of all living beings, their very foundation.

The higher the level of Qi, the higher the level of the True Spirit, and the stronger the foundation of the living being.

Xuanhuang Qi is definitely one of the highest-level Qi, unless it is Hongmeng Ziqi that directly transforms into the foundation of living beings, otherwise it is definitely one of the highest foundations.

Then Zhao Xuan began to examine the spiritual particles of the Heaven-Mending Stone.

In the mythology of the past and future online novels, the four great monkey gods were the Chaos Demon Apes, who were in charge of the laws of battle among the Chaos Demon Gods. After being defeated by Pangu, a wisp of their demon soul escaped into the primordial world and was transformed by combining with the spiritual energy of the primordial world.

The Spirit Stone Monkey was the last of the four divine monkeys to be born, and it also received the most inheritance from the Chaos Demon Ape.

So Zhao Xuan wanted to see if it was true, and whether he could find the inheritance of the Chaos Demon Ape from the spiritual particles of the Spiritual Stone Monkey.

Zhao Xuan continuously lowered his mental dimensions, eventually reaching the level of 10 to the power of -25 cubic meters, where he discovered that some spiritual particles were different from other spiritual particles.

Zhao Xuan focused his mind on these particles.

What Zhao Xuan didn't expect was that these particles were not the inheritance of the Chaos Demon Ape, but a piece of information about the fruit position.

After analyzing the information about this fruit position, Zhao Xuan instantly understood all the schemes behind the Journey to the West.

The primordial world is a world where the Heavenly Dao holds absolute authority.

In order to control the operation of the primordial world, although the Heavenly Dao allows the existence of cultivators, those above the Golden Immortal level must have a fruit position.

Therefore, regardless of the faction or the number of cultivators, the number of cultivators at the Golden Immortal level and above will remain largely unchanged.

The Xuanmen is the orthodox sect of the prehistoric world, so the positions of power in the prehistoric world are basically in the hands of the Xuanmen.

After the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, Buddhism seemed to be flourishing in its efforts to convert three thousand worldly beings, but none of these worldly beings attained enlightenment.

Without attaining a rank, these practitioners are at risk of perishing at any time and require spiritual objects to sustain themselves.

This is the origin of the Peach Banquet and the Golden Elixir Banquet, which provide spiritual items to cultivators who have not yet attained a certain level of enlightenment to sustain themselves.

This is because the primordial world was a world dominated by qi, which is a flowing substance and therefore needs something to carry it.

Things without a support can be gathered together for a time, but they cannot remain unchanged forever.

Therefore, even Golden Immortals in the primordial world can die.

This is also the fundamental reason for the existence of the Great Calamity.

The Buddhist community now has three thousand Buddhas, ten thousand Bodhisattvas, and one million Arhats.

However, in reality there are only five Buddhas, ten Bodhisattvas, and eighteen Arhats.

That is, there are three vertical Buddhas and three horizontal Buddhas, but the vertical and horizontal lines intersect at Shakyamuni, that is, the Tathagata, so there are only five Buddhas.

The Ten Bodhisattvas are what are commonly referred to as the Ten Bhumis (Bodhisattvas of the Ten Grounds).

The eighteen Arhats are the commonly referred to Eighteen Arhats.

These are respectively the Great Luo Golden Immortal Fruit Position, the Taiyi Golden Immortal Fruit Position, and the Golden Immortal Fruit Position.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal is the highest level of immortality, while the Quasi-Saint is merely an extension of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

A saint is another, higher level of attainment.

The reason why Buddhism does not care about merit is for the sake of attaining the five sacred positions after the Journey to the West ends.

As things normally would have unfolded, Xuanzang would have been conferred the title of Buddha of Good Deeds and Merits, Sun Wukong would have been conferred the title of Fighting Saint Buddha, Zhu Bajie would have been conferred the title of Clean Altar Messenger, Sha Wujing would have been conferred the title of Golden Body Arhat, and Ao Lie would have been conferred the title of Bodhisattva of the Eight Heavenly Dragons.

The messenger is actually a Bodhisattva.

Like Ananda and Kasyapa, they were called Venerable Ones, but in reality, they were also Bodhisattvas.

In other words, after the Journey to the West ends, Buddhism will have two more Buddhas, two more Bodhisattvas, and one more Arhat.

This aligns perfectly with the aspirations of the flourishing of Buddhism.

The fruit position is the lower limit, just as the fruit position in the human immortal realm suppresses the fortune, the same is true for the fruit position in the primordial world.

Without attaining a high rank, you can cultivate to become a Golden Immortal, or even a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but you can never become a Daluo Golden Immortal.

A Great Luo Golden Immortal is equivalent to the master of the laws in the human immortal realm. They are beings who wield a law. Without a certain status, they will be directly devoured by the law and disappear into nothingness.

The fruit position is formed by the condensation of innate rules. There are three thousand innate rules in the primordial world, and therefore three thousand fruit positions.

However, these three thousand positions of enlightenment did not appear all at once for cultivators to compete for.

As the supreme world, the Primordial World needs to undergo three tribulations and pass through three immeasurable eons of trials before it can become an eternal world.

Only after the eternal world is achieved will the three thousand laws fully manifest and the three thousand supreme positions be formed.

The three eons are the immeasurable eons of the Heavenly Path, the immeasurable eons of the Earthly Path, and the immeasurable eons of the Human Path.

Each immeasurable kalpa contains nine great kalpas.

Each immeasurable kalpa contains one thousand fruit positions, one of which is the fruit position of the Heavenly Path, Earthly Path, and Human Path, leaving nine hundred and ninety fruit positions. One hundred and eleven fruit positions are condensed in each kalpa.

The primordial world is currently only the first immeasurable eon, and the fifth eon of the immeasurable eon of the Heavenly Dao.

That means there are only 556 positions available so far.

These positions all start at the Golden Immortal level. Five Golden Immortal positions lead to one Taiyi position, three Taiyi positions lead to one Daluo position, and three Daluo positions lead to one Heavenly Dao position.

The Seven Sages of Heaven have already occupied 315 positions, and with the positions of the Lord of Heaven's clan, that makes 316 positions.

Excluding other powerful beings, the number of high-ranking officials in the entire prehistoric world is actually pitifully small.

Two Buddhas are equivalent to two Great Luo Golden Immortals, two Bodhisattvas are equivalent to two Taiyi Golden Immortals, and one Arhat is equivalent to a clan of Golden Immortals.

That is, forty-one stages of enlightenment.

This means that a small portion of the attainment of Buddhahood in this eon has been promised to Buddhism in advance.

The rest is up to each person to compete based on their own abilities.

Zhao Xuan continued to lower his mental focus until he reached his limit, finally seeing the information he wanted from the fruition level.

This Great Luo Golden Immortal level status is indeed the manifestation of the Dao of the Chaos Demon Ape.

The idea that five Golden Immortal-level positions can be combined to form one Taiyi Golden Immortal-level position, and three Taiyi Golden Immortal-level positions can be combined to form one Daluo Golden Immortal-level position, is not entirely illogical.

One who obtains the One Qi becomes an immortal Golden Immortal; one who obtains the Five Qi converges into the Origin becomes a Taiyi Golden Immortal; one who obtains the Five Qi combines with the Three Flowers, and one who obtains the Three Flowers gathers at the top becomes a Great Luo Immortal.

It appears to be a Grand Luo Golden Immortal level position and a single law, but in reality, it is a fusion of fifteen laws.

Each of the fifteen laws inherently possesses a Golden Immortal-level application, which can be termed a Golden Immortal-level divine power.

Fifteen Golden Immortal-level divine abilities were combined to form three Taiyi Golden Immortal-level divine abilities, and the three Taiyi Golden Immortal-level divine abilities were combined to form one Daluo Golden Immortal-level divine ability.

The inheritance within this level of attainment includes the Great Luo Golden Immortal's Battle Saint Body, the Taiyi Golden Immortal's Insightful Golden Eyes, the ability to transform in countless ways, and the indestructible Vajra.

As for the fifteen Golden Immortal-level divine abilities, they are all related to combat.

Among them is the ability to see through anything.

Zhao Xuan finally understood that Subhuti's teaching of the Spiritual Stone Monkey was not to help the Spiritual Stone Monkey cultivate, but to obscure the Spiritual Stone Monkey's instincts with acquired methods, making it difficult for him to awaken his innate supernatural powers.

This includes the later swallowing of peaches of immortality, swallowing of golden pills, body tempering in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and being fed copper balls and molten iron under the Five Elements Mountain.

The Chaos Demon Ape's fighting instincts are simply too strong. If left to develop on its own, coupled with the aid of calamity energy in its cultivation, by the time the great calamity begins, the Spirit Stone Monkey will likely have already escaped control.

When Zhao Xuan saw the Fiery Eyes of Truth, the Mythical Laws were instinctively triggered again, but he did not make any progress.

Zhao Xuan guessed that the Fiery Eyes of Truth recognized by the laws of mythology were not a method of cultivation.

Instead, it appears as a supernatural power of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.

Therefore, if he wants to advance the laws of mythology further, he not only cannot suppress the birth of Sun Wukong, but also must let him wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace and go on a journey to the West to obtain the scriptures. The more Sun Wukong fits the image in his childhood mind, the greater the progress of his laws of mythology.

Of course, this Sun Wukong cannot be the same as the one in the original work, or the one caught up in the conspiracy theory of the pilgrimage. Instead, he should be the TV series character who, from childhood, fights against heaven and earth, distinguishes right from wrong, and possesses boundless supernatural powers.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan not only had to prevent Sun Wukong from being born, but also had to give him an epic-level upgrade, turning what might have been a conspiracy theory about him causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace and going on a journey to the West into a real havoc in the Heavenly Palace, slaying demons and monsters.

Zhao Xuan used his mind to continuously manipulate these nineteen divine abilities, causing them to constantly release their own aura and merge into the hazy consciousness of the Heaven-Mending Divine Stone.

Zhao Xuan not only wanted him to master these supernatural abilities, but also to make them instinctive.

A thousand years passed in this way. Zhao Xuan sensed a drastic change in the aura between heaven and earth. A massive calamity aura inexplicably fell upon the Heaven-Mending Divine Stone.

Then it merged into the spirituality of the Heaven-Mending Stone, and the spirituality of the Heaven-Mending Stone underwent a violent change, instantly condensing its own spirituality together, while the spiritual energy surrounding the spirituality and the Heaven-Mending Stone instantly transformed into a flesh and blood body.

With a loud "boom", its body burst open the stone shell that contained the Heaven-Mending Stone.

Zhao Xuan sensed a figure leap out of the stone shell with a cracking sound.
