My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Later, when he entered the prehistoric world, his mastery of formations reached its peak. He not only set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, but also demonstrated the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.

Although Zhao Xuan only demonstrated two types of formations in the prehistoric world, he was actually extremely proficient in all the prehistoric formations.

Although the divine realm we are in now may be superior in terms of level, its underlying laws are not entirely different.

Furthermore, there may be some kind of shared origin between the Primordial World and the Divine Realm World. Therefore, the formations originating from the Primordial World can still function in the Divine Realm World, and their upper limit is even higher than it was in the Primordial World.

However, Luo Xuan from the Divine Realm World was not skilled in the art of formations.

Therefore, during this discussion, Zhao Xuan could only act as a listener most of the time, quietly listening to other people's insights and understanding of formations.

It would be more accurate to call this a sermon rather than a discussion.

This was to allow the Ten Heavenly Kings to benefit Luo Xuan through preaching.

Although Shi Tianjunping mainly cultivates the Dao of Formations, all the great Daos lead to the same destination, and the principles they contain are interconnected.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, this exchange would undoubtedly be extremely enlightening for Luo Xuan, who is also deeply devoted to the study of the Dao.

Even setting aside the profound and mysterious Dao, just considering the Fire Element Law itself, Zhao Jiang's Earth Fiery Array and Bai Li's Blazing Flame Array both contain many exquisite methods for using fire.

Furthermore, the Golden Light Holy Mother's Golden Light Array gathers a large amount of the essence of the sun and moon. The sun is the most revered of fire, so she naturally has unique insights into how to condense flames.

As for the wind law in the Howling Wind Formation, it also plays a significant role in enhancing the power of flames by leveraging the wind.

These things would have been very beneficial to Luo Xuan, especially since Luo Xuan had just undergone the assimilation of his divine essence and rebuilt his foundation.

But who could have imagined that Luo Xuan had been replaced by Zhao Xuan? This level of understanding was nothing to Zhao Xuan.

Although these formations and laws offered limited help to Zhao Xuan's cultivation, the occasional flashes of inspiration from the Ten Heavenly Lords and their novel ideas always caught Zhao Xuan's eye.

By the time this unique discourse came to a close, a full hundred years had passed.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the ten people actually discussed the Dao continuously for a hundred years. Rather, it's because such discussions are like a journey of exploration where one reviews the old and learns the new. Whenever everyone has new insights and gains, they enter a meditative state to calmly contemplate and digest what they've learned.

It is precisely because of this intermittent and halting style of speaking that the seemingly long century-long period is actually not that remarkable.

Even after the debate came to a close, the participants were still immersed in the exchange and reflection that had just ended, eagerly absorbing the wisdom and experience gained.

After several days of reflection and digestion, and once his mind was at peace, Qin Wan, the leader of the Ten Heavenly Kings, revealed his origins. He explained that the ten of them had come on the important mission entrusted by the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and that the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit earnestly requested Luo Xuan to show leniency and spare Hu Sheng.

However, everyone knew that the real intention behind this request was to ask Fellow Daoist Luo Xuan to spare Hu Lei as well.

Everyone knows that the Great Luo Golden Immortal possesses profound strength, and his desire for revenge is not to be underestimated.

The Great Golden Immortal has transcended the cycle of birth and death, and is immortal.

Perhaps they will temporarily endure due to various concerns, but who dares to say whether they will not hesitate to retaliate once they find a good opportunity in the future?

Furthermore, although Hu Lei is a true disciple, he is only a Taiyi Golden Immortal and ultimately cannot possess an immortal body.

If Luo Xuan really does kill him, even if he is severely punished afterward, it will be difficult to bring Hu Lei back to life.

Moreover, it is certain that one will seize the opportunity to take revenge when the opportunity arises. If one cannot achieve a state of mind of enlightenment even after reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, then all those millions of years of cultivation would have been in vain.

If one's mind is not in harmony with the Tao, how can one be qualified to talk about pursuing the Great Tao?

If a Great Luo Golden Immortal adopts a tough stance of never backing down, everyone will be wary and dare not easily provoke trouble.

One can use one's status to suppress ordinary people, but one should never use such intentions to suppress cultivators at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal or above.

Even if the fish dies, the net may not necessarily break; this is a classic case of the barefoot not fearing those wearing shoes.

However, on the other hand, if Hu Lei had been more cautious in his daily actions and had shown reverence for the Great Immortal, the situation might have been different.

Unfortunately... things have come to this point, and any further speculation is futile. Now, the only option is to see what Fellow Daoist Luo Xuan plans to do.

As the saying goes, "The human heart is perilous, the moral heart is subtle; only by being refined and single-minded, and holding fast to the mean," this is the principle.

Hu Lei actually possessed the strength to break through very early on, but as a true disciple, the cultivation path he chose was to improve his cultivation by visualizing the transformation of objects.

This method is much more difficult than the common path of divine differentiation, and the difficulty is several times greater.

This is why, despite his extraordinary talent and exceptional strength, he is currently still at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Within the Lingbao Dao Sect, disciples are classified into three levels: True Disciple, Inner Disciple, and Outer Disciple.

However, it should be noted that this division is not immutable. Once you enter the Lingbao Dao Sect, everyone is initially an inner disciple.

As individuals grow and demonstrate their potential during their spiritual practice, they will be further subdivided into different pathways.

Within the three realms of Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, and Hunyuan Golden Immortal, the object of visualization can undergo three transformations.

All three breakthroughs were achieved through the transformation of the visualized object, meaning that only a Primordial Golden Immortal can be promoted to a true disciple.

If, when breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, one still uses the method of visualizing an object to transform into a Golden Immortal, then one can remain in the inner sect.

However, if one breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm by using divine essence to differentiate, then one can only be relegated to the outer sect.

Generally speaking, anyone who manages to enter the Lingbao Dao Sect must possess a certain level of potential, and completing the transformation of a visualized object should not pose too much of a problem for them.

Therefore, almost all disciples of the Lingbao Dao Sect successfully broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage using this method.

However, once one crosses the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, the situation becomes completely different.

Regardless of how noble or lowly a person's original status was, if they choose to enter the Great Luo realm by splitting their divine essence when attempting to break through, they will be demoted to the ranks of outer disciples.

However, if this breakthrough is achieved through the transformation of the object of the second visualization, its original identity will be preserved.

It is worth noting that the method of first transforming into a Great Luo Golden Immortal through two visualizations, and then using the method of divine essence differentiation to break through to the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, is the most common breakthrough method in the sect.

Therefore, the true lineage, inner sect, and outer sect were divided starting from the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Divine essence differentiation is essentially equivalent to severing one's own path of cultivation. However, as a super sect standing at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, the Lingbao Dao Sect possesses the mysterious and unpredictable power of the Dao of Intercepting Heaven, which can snatch that faint glimmer of life from desperate situations.

In other words, even if one takes such an extreme approach as the differentiation of divine essence in the early stages, there is still an opportunity to use the method of divine essence assimilation in the long subsequent cultivation process to forcibly reunite the differentiated divine essence and cause the visualized object to undergo further transformation, thereby continuing to break through the cultivation bottleneck.

However, being relegated to the outer sect means one's potential is limited. Unless one can break through to the supreme realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, it will be difficult to improve one's status within the sect.

Regardless of whether it is the true lineage, the inner sect, or the outer sect, a disciple can take on disciples after cultivating to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

Before a disciple breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they will follow the master's identity; the master is the true disciple, and the disciple is the true disciple.

This is why cultivators like Hu Lei, who are only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, cannot and dare not seek breakthroughs at will.

After all, on the path of cultivation, one either continuously advances and bravely climbs to new heights, or one can only end up with a tragic death and the annihilation of one's cultivation. Currently, Hu Lei can still temporarily maintain his status by relying on his master's status as a true disciple.

Successfully achieving a breakthrough through visualizing the transformation of objects only allows one to maintain their current status, but it doesn't actually bring many substantial benefits.

However, if the breakthrough fails, one will have to resort to the method of divine essence differentiation to try to break through, and the consequence of doing so will be a sharp decline in status, a complete fall from grace.

It should be understood that on the path of spiritual cultivation, an excessive pursuit of status and position often becomes an external obstacle to spiritual practice.

Just like Hu Lei, who was troubled by external demons in his cultivation, he was trapped in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and could not break through.

When one is not entirely certain that they can successfully break through by visualizing the transformation of objects, they dare not easily take the risk of attempting to break through.

Because in his heart, the identity of a true disciple is his honor, and he is afraid of failing to break through.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit had a clear understanding of Hu Lei's situation, and so did Daoist Duobao.

The reason Hu Lei instructed Hu Sheng to take the lead in suppressing Luo Xuan was simply to curry favor with the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, so as to maintain his dignity in that small group.

Luo Xuan's decisive action in capturing Hu Sheng clearly demonstrates a fact: for cultivators, cultivation level is the most crucial factor; only by constantly pursuing the Great Dao can one be considered on the right path of cultivation. As for everything else, they are nothing but fleeting clouds and illusions.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit also hoped to use this opportunity to help Hu Lei understand this principle.

However, she was also worried that Hu Lei's mental state might be compromised because of Hu Sheng's matter, which would affect his future cultivation path.

Therefore, they invited the Ten Heavenly Lords, who had a good reputation among the inner sect, to mediate and reconcile the dispute, hoping to resolve it properly so that all parties could benefit.
