My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Coincidentally, the unique flames possessed by the Fire Crow clan inherently contain a mysterious and unpredictable aura of creation.

Under Zhao Xuan's control, this aura of creation was brought forth.

In an instant, the already blazing flames seemed to receive some powerful boost, becoming even more violent and ferocious.

The surging, boundless flames, like a devastating torrent, swept straight towards Chen Jiugong.

Poor Chen Jiugong hadn't even prepared his ultimate move yet, so how could he withstand such a terrifying attack? In the blink of an eye, he was engulfed by the raging flames. If Zhao Xuan hadn't shown mercy at the last moment and stopped the fire in time, this unfortunate fellow would probably have been burned alive to ashes.

After this battle, Chen Jiugong and Chen Xinfang, who had suffered greatly, fully realized how formidable Zhao Xuan was, and dared not show him the slightest disrespect again.

He also changed his usual attitude and became unusually humble and submissive.

Every day, they followed Zhao Xuan around, calling him "Uncle-Master" and "Grand-Uncle-Master" repeatedly, pestering him to explain the mysteries of Taoism to them.

It should be noted that the four outer disciples all relied on formations to comprehend the Dao and cultivate, and eventually attained the status of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Therefore, their disciples naturally had considerable knowledge and experience in various formations.

Despite his great reputation, Zhao Gongming, relying on his unfathomable Taoist skills and extraordinary wisdom, created a formation called the "Ten Directions Overturning the Sea Formation." This formation was truly wondrous and unparalleled in power.

The Ten Directions Sea-Covering Array is formed by using thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls as its array eyes.

Each of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls contains boundless power, and they resonate and intertwine with each other, transforming into an independent world.

Once unleashed, it can wield the immense power of the boundless ocean with a mere flick of the wrist, causing heaven and earth to turn upside down repeatedly, with the universe completely under its control, enough to suppress all things in the world.

However, the Ten Directions Overturning Sea Formation is too profound and difficult to understand. Even Chen Jiugong, Zhao Gongming's personal disciple, has not been able to fully comprehend it to this day.

It's important to know that Chen Jiugong was not someone who knew nothing about formations. On the contrary, he had a high level of expertise in formations.

However, this Ten Directions Overturning Sea Formation is of extraordinary significance to their lineage, and can be regarded as a treasure passed down through generations.

If the other disciples of the Lingbao Dao Sect can understand this formation, while they, the direct disciples, cannot grasp its mysteries, wouldn't they lose face?

Therefore, for Chen Jiugong and others, comprehending and studying formations was even more important than improving their own cultivation.

However, the study of formations is quite different from ordinary cultivation methods.

Spiritual practice emphasizes gradual accumulation and step-by-step progress. As long as one has perseverance and willpower, one can always achieve something.

However, formations place more emphasis on an individual's comprehension and talent.

Without that innate keen insight and extraordinary thinking ability, no matter how much time and energy you spend, it will probably be in vain.

If we categorize them by the academic disciplines of the first life, array formations, along with talismans, weapon crafting, and alchemy, all belong to the "mathematics, physics, and chemistry" category in the cultivation world. They all require extremely high logical reasoning abilities and innovative thinking, and cannot be easily grasped through mere enthusiasm or rote memorization.

Therefore, neither Chen Jiugong nor the other disciples had a particularly deep understanding or familiarity with the formations set up by their master.

The reason why Daoist Duobao was able to become the chief true disciple of Lingbao Dao Sect was not only due to his unfathomable cultivation level, but more importantly, because he had successfully comprehended the most powerful and world-renowned formation of Lingbao Dao Sect - the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

In terms of cultivation strength, Daoist Duobao is outstanding within the entire Lingbao Dao Sect; and in terms of mastery and application of formations, no one can compare to him. It is precisely because of this that he has been able to firmly occupy the throne of the first true disciple.

When Zhao Xuan met Zhao Gongming, even Zhao Gongming himself was extremely surprised and delighted that Zhao Xuan was able to defeat Chen Jiugong with the help of the formation.

After all, within the Lingbao Dao Sect, improving one's cultivation level is relatively easy.

Even if some disciples are slightly less talented in cultivation, as long as they are willing to spend enough time and energy to find all kinds of rare and precious natural treasures, they may still be able to make up for their lack of foundation.

However, the art of formations is completely different; there are no shortcuts or tricks involved.

One must either be an expert or completely ignorant of this art. A truly outstanding array master possesses the ability to fight across realms, capable of single-handedly confronting multiple powerful individuals of the same level without being at a disadvantage. Furthermore, when facing those of lower realms, they can easily achieve absolute suppression and crushing.

The Lingbao Dao Sect has four renowned disciples: in addition to Duobao Daoren, there are Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, and Guiling Shengmu.

They all possessed profound insights and understanding of various formations, demonstrating extraordinary skill and talent in the field of formations.

Even though the three Holy Mothers had not yet fully grasped the essence and mystery of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, they already had a profound understanding of the Myriad Immortals Formation.

Moreover, although they had not fully comprehended the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, they were still able to hold one of the four key points of the formation, wielding the four swords of Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and steadily guarding the four gates of the formation.

These three Holy Mothers each possessed unique skills, which earned the respect of the immortals of the Lingbao Dao Sect.

The key reason why the four outer disciples can be compared with the true disciples lies in their mastery of formations.

If one cannot master this mysterious and unpredictable array method, even if one enters the realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal through three stages of visualization evolution, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven to create one's own true lineage.

However, those disciples who failed to be included among the true disciples were not without options.

They were fortunate enough to often accompany Lingbao Daojun, and were therefore respectfully called "Attendant Immortals".

Currently, there are seven such attendant immortals in the Lingbao Dao Sect, among whom Wuyun Immortal is the most outstanding. He leads the other six attendant immortals to form the renowned "Seven Attendant Immortals".

This force, led by the Seven Immortal Attendants, is extremely powerful within the Lingbao Dao Sect, and can even be considered the head of the inner sect.

It is worth mentioning that the inner sect forces led by the Seven Immortals, the true disciples, and the outer sect forces have always maintained a delicate relationship of mutual competition and ebb and flow.

This competitive relationship not only stimulated the motivation of various forces to continuously strive for progress and improve themselves, but also enabled the entire Lingbao Dao Sect to flourish and thrive under the competition of various forces.

Admittedly, not all inner disciples would blindly obey the Seven Immortals, just as not all outer disciples would blindly follow the Four Outer Disciples.

The reason why this phenomenon of forces banding together for mutual support exists is that the true disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples each have their own clear and unique responsibilities.

Let's start with the true disciples; they are the face of the entire sect.

Its main responsibility is to devote itself to cultivation, continuously improve its cultivation level, deeply comprehend various magical powers and spells, and even thoroughly understand the profound and unfathomable Dao of formations, among many other aspects.

Next are the inner disciples, whose job is to develop various resources within the domain.

In the early days of the Lingbao Divine Realm, the position of domain lord for many small and medium-sized divine realms was held by inner disciples.

Thanks to these inner disciples, the resources in the Spirit Treasure Divine Realm can be fully explored and utilized, thus providing a continuous source of support for the sect's development.

Finally, there are the outer disciples, whose mission is to expand the territory of the Lingbao Dao Sect.

However, with the rise of the four outer disciples, more and more outer disciples have achieved ultimate sublimation in the arduous process of expanding their territory and have successfully continued their cultivation path.

As a result, the overall strength of the outer sect has been increasing day by day, and the power they wield has also grown daily.

Gradually, outer disciples were not only able to hold certain important positions within the sect, but also had the opportunity to assume crucial positions such as domain lord.

However, despite the considerable achievements of the outer disciples, their situation is still not optimistic.

The main reason for this is that the process of transcending the extreme realm and continuing the path is indeed extremely difficult.

To achieve such a goal, one needs not only extraordinary talent and perseverance, but also countless life-or-death trials.

Therefore, for most outer disciples, this path is still full of endless hardships and challenges.

Therefore, many outer disciples defected to the inner sect or the true lineage.

Among the many forces, the True Lineage is the most powerful.

The nine super divine realms wage war against each other, fiercely vying for various resources.

Even within the same super divine realm, the same applies to the nine divine realm forces.

However, the situation among the nine super divine realms, which involves a struggle for lineage and a fight to the death, is different. Large divine realm forces within the same super divine realm tend to be more restrained.

The focus is usually on the struggle for the newly formed divine realm.

Newly established divine realms, unless they happen to be located in the core areas of various major powers, often become objects of frequent contention.

The divine realm controlled by Luo Xuan is actually a divine realm that was newly formed ten thousand years ago.

Just as the divine realm was beginning to take shape, Luo Xuan happened to discover it and claimed it for himself.

He then reported the matter to the Lingbao Dao Sect. In the end, it was Daoist Duobao who personally led his disciples to help, successfully suppressing this divine realm for Luo Xuan.

It was because of this incident that Luo Xuan and Hu Lei became enemies.

In addition, the major forces often engage in gambling battles, and those who participate are invariably the true disciples of each force.
