My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

The remaining two are the merit of education and the merit of prosperity.

There are two ways to achieve the merit of education. One is that an official in charge of a region educates the people under his jurisdiction, and when the people live in peace and contentment and there are fewer illegal acts, he has achieved the merit of education.

Rather, it is about cultivating talent; the more talent cultivated, the greater the educational impact.

This is one of the reasons why aristocratic families established academies.

The achievements of Changrong are similar; the most important matters for the human race are sacrifice and war.

Whether it's a sacrificial ceremony or a war, it's all for the prosperity of the human race.

Both "繁" and "昌" mean the growth and prosperity of a clan or group.

Both "荣" and "盛" have the meaning of continuity.

Therefore, the achievement of prosperity is that during your reign, the population growth within your jurisdiction increases and the average life expectancy extends.

This doesn't mean that when you're in office, you can just order the people under your jurisdiction to have as many children as you want. If too many children are born and they can't be raised, the first to suffer from the resulting poverty and hardship will be the elderly and children.

The death of children and the premature passing of the elderly both affect the average lifespan.

If the region were not prosperous enough, the average life expectancy would not have increased.

However, the benefits of education and prosperity are reserved for officials and aristocratic families, and are difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

Therefore, the easiest way for ordinary people to gain great merit is to earn military merit during beast tides.

Of course, ordinary people cannot obtain military merits. The military merits they do obtain must first be exchanged for a noble title, and then for resources, which means they can't get many resources in return.

This led to the existence of betting and hanging.

By attaching one's military merits to someone of a higher rank, all of these merits can be exchanged for cultivation resources, and even higher-level resources.

Zhao Mingcheng may not have much else, but he is the third prince of the royal family, and all of Zhao's resources are open to him.

As long as Zhao Mingcheng has enough merits.

But what Zhao Mingcheng lacked most was meritorious service.

Zhao Mingcheng had no power base of his own in the court and did not want to rely on the eldest and second princes.

She doesn't want to rely too much on her mother's family yet.

He may lack merit, but his maternal family certainly does.

In Zhao Mingcheng's words, his maternal clan was too biased towards the eldest prince, so he simply stopped using their resources.

He doesn't use it, not that he doesn't have it.

Moreover, he had several men who joined the rebellion, and these men also had their own power base and accumulated considerable merit.

It wouldn't be difficult for Zhao Mingcheng to ask them for it, since the Heavenly Stems Squad really did trade with treasures.

These treasures are of a high level; otherwise, they wouldn't have been valued by a group of grandmaster-level deep-sea demon hunters, or even treasure hunters among them.

Zhao Xuan believed that even if these treasures could be obtained in the Zhao Kingdom through merit, there would certainly be many restrictions.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan will not suffer losses, the Heavenly Stems Squad will not suffer losses, Zhao Mingcheng will not suffer losses, and the forces behind Zhao Mingcheng will not suffer losses either.

After explaining the type of spiritual item he needed to the Heavenly Stems team, Zhao Xuan and Zhao Mingcheng discussed it briefly before rushing back to Mingxuan Villa.

Mingxuan Villa was the courtyard that Prince Jin gave to Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan named it Mingxuan Villa, and there were four shops, which were transformed into a grain shop, a teahouse, a pawnshop, and a fruit shop, respectively.

It was called Mingxuan Grain Shop, Mingxuan Restaurant, Mingxuan Pawnshop, and Mingxuan Fruit Shop.

Mingxuan Fruit Shop was the most profitable among them, which was something Zhao Xuan hadn't expected.

Who would have thought that running a fruit shop could be more profitable than a pawnshop that boasts numerous treasures?

Later, I basically understood that, firstly, my pawnshop's reputation hadn't been established yet, so there weren't many people coming to pawn their items, and the items being pawned weren't of high value.

Secondly, humans do indeed lack fruit.

Most of the arable land was used to grow grains. Only a few large families had surplus land to grow fruit.

These large families don't produce much fruit; they consume a significant portion themselves, leaving only a small portion for themselves.

They may also be acquired by restaurants, brothels, and other similar establishments to upgrade their service standards.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan's fruit shop was packed with people as soon as it opened.

If Zhao Xuan hadn't limited the number of purchases to promote his brand by opening the shop, it's estimated that everything would have been bought up as soon as the shop opened.

As for where Zhao Mingcheng got so much fruit and grain?

Although Zhao Xuan's Hundred Spirits Garden in Kaoshan Village is only a few dozen acres, the area of ​​the Serpent Vine's supernatural Netherworld is quite large, covering tens of thousands of acres.

Zhao Xuan used them all for planting and breeding, and he took care of the snake vines himself.

As for why the underworld of the serpent vines is so large?

Since his master was a transmigrator who coveted small worlds, the snake vine used most of the spiritual energy it obtained from Zhao Xuan to enhance its supernatural abilities.

The level of the serpentine vines limits its ability to increase the domain's level, so it can only increase the area.

After returning to Mingxuan Villa, Zhao Mingxuan sent his steward Lin Fu to the Prince of Jin's residence to bring back some ancient and prehistoric cultivation records.

After reading all night, Zhao Xuan tragically discovered that his cultivation method was indeed wrong.

Through his conversation with the Heavenly Stems Squad, Zhao Xuan gained a deeper understanding of various forms of cultivation.

He discovered that his path of cultivation might not be suitable for the path of sainthood.

First of all, he did not have his own innate cultivation method, or even any cultivation method at all.

The original name cultivation method is the cultivation method that one comprehends after being enlightened by a hundred sages and is most suitable for one's own cultivation.

In addition, some great masters will also pass down the cultivation methods they have comprehended, for future generations to refer to and practice.

There are many calculations involved, which we'll discuss later.

Secondly, Zhao Xuan's temperament is not suitable.

Of the five realms of the Holy Path, Zhao Xuan has only comprehended one.

The peace and happiness he realized was different from the normal peace and happiness; rather than calling it peace and happiness, it was more accurate to call it a pure mind.

He is a time traveler from the era of the information explosion, and his mind is filled with distractions.

Upon arriving in this world, he first discovered the practice of cultivation, then realized that he was incapable of it. Ultimately, he accepted the present world, severed his distracting thoughts, and attained inner peace.

Once his mind was at peace, he began to enjoy life by escaping from his own world, finding peace and contentment within himself. After a moment of enlightenment, he embarked on the path of spiritual practice.

As for the feelings of courage, prosperity, and glory, it all boils down to this: I am a transmigrator, and I don't have a deep sense of belonging to this world. I lack empathy and therefore cannot comprehend these feelings.

Even if one applies their past life experiences to understand the path to sainthood, they will not grasp the true state of mind.

The third is the subject of cultivation.

The mainstream of this world is to rest primarily through work.

Karma is the path they cultivate, but this path must first belong to the human race, and then to themselves.

Although Zhao Xuan always wanted to follow the path of sainthood, he did not actually cultivate according to that path, but instead cultivated based on supernatural powers.

He developed countless applications around his supernatural powers, with the Golden Flower Enlightenment as the foundation, the Golden Flower Spirit Transformation as the main trunk, and the Golden Flower Protection as the branches and leaves.

Attempting to bring all things in heaven and earth under one's control is not the cultivation of humankind, but the cultivation of the human way, and even more so, it can be said to be the cultivation of the Great Dao.

Fourth, after what happened with the Heavenly Stems Team today, he has a clear understanding of his own cultivation.

He discovered that his cultivation method was similar to that of the demon hunters.

So I asked He Yuangu Jiuye a few more questions and found that the similarity between He Yuangu Jiuye and He Yuangu Jiuye was even higher.

However, the Heavenly Stems Squad didn't know much about the Nine Ancient Industries either, so Zhao Xuan asked the steward to ask the Prince of Jin for more information.

The royal ancestral land naturally contains many records of the nine ancient industries.

Then Zhao Xuan looked at it more and more and more like it.

The ancient Nine Industries followed the path of accumulation, without cultivation or enlightenment.

Wizard, Demon Master, Soul Master, Hunter, Burial Master, Hermit, Spirit Slave, Corpse Slave, Ghost Slave

The more spirit energy a sorcerer draws into their body, the more delicious their flesh and blood become to the spirits. By sacrificing oneself, one can mobilize even more spirit power.

The evil sorcerer draws evil energy into their own qi, and the more evil energy enters their qi, the greater the destructive power of their own qi becomes. However, being tormented by evil energy is worse than death.

Soul Masters draw upon the spirits of human heroes, who die in battle for humanity, their fighting spirit reaching the heavens. They use this fighting spirit to unleash unparalleled power, but are also corrupted by it, becoming solely focused on combat.

Hunters who draw demon souls into their bodies can use the supernatural powers of the demon race, but absorbing a demon soul is equivalent to severing the demon soul's path to reincarnation, which is why they are hated and cursed by the demon race's fortune.

The Burial Masters were the earliest corpse refiners. They sought out extremely dangerous places, buried the corpses of demons, refined them into zombies, and controlled the zombies to fight.

Zombies are born of bloodlust and are hated by heaven and earth, rejected by all living beings from the six realms of existence. Therefore, even the dead are cursed.

The hermit severed all ties with his own karma, refined the bloodline of the demon race, transformed himself into a demon, and hid among the demons, secretly transmitting demon information to humans. But from then on, he was neither human nor demon.

Spirit slaves cultivate themselves into spirit corpses that are half-human and half-ghost; corpse slaves cultivate themselves into evil corpses that are half-human and half-zombie; and ghost slaves cultivate themselves into ghost corpses that are half-human and half-ghost. All three of these are for the purpose of obtaining powerful strength, but from then on, they are no longer pure humans.

Zhao Xuan discovered that these people shared a common characteristic: they accumulated turbid energy such as yin energy, ghost energy, corpse energy, and evil energy to gain power in a short period of time.

Although Zhao Xuan did not absorb the turbid energy indiscriminately, he still followed the path of accumulation, where quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

He used the golden flower to comprehend the Dao and stabilize his own three cycles, integrating spiritual energy into the golden flower to gain control over it.

Furthermore, it can even maintain the immeasurable Three Cycles and control immeasurable spiritual energy. Moreover, once proven, it is eternal and will never regress.

Fifth, he discovered a certificate that is eternal and never regresses. Isn't this the mythical Great Luo?

What does it mean when combined with constant virtue, constant longevity, and constant martial prowess?

A constant virtue is the transmission of one's own virtue among the human race. Even if one dies in one blow, as long as someone offers sacrifices to you within 720 years, you can be reborn through the sacrifices.

Moreover, after being resurrected, because your martial fortune is constant, you will have magical power to protect you.

Combining them would make it even more like the mythical Great Luo.

If this thing is truly the cultivation method of the mythical Great Luo, then why should I cultivate the Holy Path and become the Human Emperor?

Once I achieve the legendary status of the Great Luo Immortal, unifying humanity will be a trivial matter, won't it?

Then Zhao Xuan went into seclusion.

He first spent half a month finding thirty-six kinds of spiritual energy to serve as the foundation for the thirty-six-grade golden flowers.

Let's first prove the existence of an immeasurable body.

It took nearly half a month to fuse the earth spirit, fire spirit, metal spirit, wind spirit, thunder spirit, sun spirit, moon spirit, and star spirit.

Within Zhao Xuan's dantian, eight somewhat illusory golden flowers of various colors, along with two solid golden flowers tinged with cyan and blue, surrounded a throne resembling a lotus platform.

The lotus flower has twelve layers, and within it are twelve lotus seeds.

It can be seen that only two of the twelve petals of the lotus platform are solid, while the rest are illusory.

The lotus seeds planted on the lotus platform are also in an illusory state.

The lotus platform is the essence of Zhao Xuan, while the lotus seeds are the Dao fruits formed from the perfected essence, equivalent to a fixed lifespan.

The golden flowers surrounding him were the ten spiritual energy sources that Zhao Xuan had comprehended.

The two physical flowers represent the origin of the Wood Spirit and the origin of the Water Spirit, respectively.
