My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

The laws of the spirit and the laws of the soul are quite similar, yet there are subtle differences.

The so-called three natures of the soul are composed of the id spirit, the ego spirit, and the superego spirit.

These three spiritualities are respectively similar to the spirit of instinctual consciousness, the spirit of self-awareness, and the spirit of unconsciousness in the realm of humans and immortals. At the same time, they can also be regarded as the earth soul, the human soul, and the heavenly soul.

Among them, the id represents the most primitive and instinctive part, like a spark hidden deep within the heart, driving the most basic desires and impulses of life.

This spirituality is not greatly disturbed by external factors and expresses, purely and directly, an individual's desire for instinctive needs such as survival and reproduction.

Self-spirituality is a kind of awareness that gradually forms during the growth process, which is a kind of self-awareness and understanding of the surrounding environment.

It is like a mirror, reflecting an individual's perception and understanding of the outside world, and shaping unique personality traits and behavioral patterns based on this.

As for the superego, it is more like the light of stars hanging high in the sky, guiding people to transcend worldly constraints and pursue a higher spiritual realm.

The unconscious spirit or celestial soul it corresponds to often provides guidance at crucial moments, allowing people to perceive the truths and wisdom hidden behind appearances.

The core of the spiritual laws points directly to the superego, the unconscious spirit, and the celestial soul.

This set of rules is like a mysterious lighthouse, illuminating the path for cultivators to transcend the mundane.

By following the laws of the spirit, people can continuously explore and release the enormous hidden energy within themselves, thereby achieving spiritual sublimation and breakthroughs.

All living beings in the world are sentient beings.

When they integrate into a group, they are often unconsciously influenced and swept up by the collective consciousness.

This power is so immense that it causes many creatures to gradually lose themselves, unable to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and even their innate nature to be obscured and concealed.

Once freed from the supervision and constraints of others, inner desires run rampant like a wild horse.

They will harbor ulterior motives and malicious intentions in the dark corners, attempting to satisfy their endless selfish desires.

As the saying goes, "Heaven is watching from above," even if no one knows their evil deeds and thoughts, their own conscience is always with them.

Those who secretly deceive their own conscience are undoubtedly ruining their future; and those who dare to secretly deceive Heaven will be punished by Heaven in its own way.

The laws of the spirits and gods were created precisely to solve this dilemma.

It explores how to find that delicate balance between the torrent of collective consciousness and the vortex of individual desires, so that people can hold fast to their own moral compass, not be disturbed by the outside world, and remain clear-headed and undisturbed.

Only in this way can one reach a unique state of being—"I am who I am," where no matter how the world changes, the self remains constant and eternally unchanging.

Because the laws of spirits and gods are quite similar to the laws of souls, both possessing the ability to communicate with all living things, certain supernatural powers and spells related to them are relatively easy to learn and master.

The array spirit is also a type of spirit, which is why the environment here is exceptionally favorable for cultivating array formations.

The Lingbao Divine Realm is also known as the Golden Turtle Divine Realm. This is because the divine river within this realm is vast and boundless, like an endless sea, and its spiritual energy is as rich and brilliant as gold.

Even more remarkably, the tens of thousands of mountains in the divine realm, when viewed from above, resemble a gigantic golden divine turtle lying quietly on the sea surface, so lifelike that it is breathtaking.

In the beginning, only the Lingbao Divine Realm existed on this land.

However, as time went on, hundreds of small and medium-sized divine realms sprang up like mushrooms after rain, gradually forming a huge group of divine realms around the Lingbao Divine Realm.

Gradually, people began to refer to this region, which contained numerous divine realms, collectively as the Lingbao Divine Realm.

However, to avoid conceptual confusion, the Lingbao Dao Sect has a more detailed division of the entire Divine Realm.

The vast divine realm located at the core was named the Golden Turtle Divine Realm.

The divine river in this divine realm meanders and flows, its width spanning trillions of miles!

This vast divine river contains endless Daoist wisdom and countless rare and precious spiritual objects.

These Daoist principles seem to be the most exquisite laws and patterns in the universe, while those spiritual objects are like treasures bestowed by nature, exuding an aura that is intoxicating and mesmerizing.

Thanks to the existence of the Golden Turtle Boundless Divine Array, the entire Golden Turtle Divine Realm does not require any deliberate maintenance by human beings.

The formation was like an invisible hand, guiding all the Daoist essences and spiritual objects to converge on the Myriad Spirits Divine Mountain.

This is why the Golden Turtle Divine Realm has such magnificent scenery with its undulating mountains and ever-changing weather.

The deeper one ventures into the divine realm, the denser the spiritual energy becomes, and the stronger the aura of Dao grows. Here, all sorts of precious spiritual objects are scattered like stars across the mountains and riverbanks, practically everywhere one can find them.

It is precisely because of the unique resource advantages of the Golden Turtle Divine Realm that the inner disciples and true disciples are so fond of staying in the mountain gate.

After all, being in such an environment full of spiritual energy and Taoist charm is undoubtedly a great benefit to cultivators.

Even the generous tributes paid by the various divine realms below every thousand years are not simply for the purpose of supporting the mountain gate.

More than anything, it's a declaration of sovereignty, representing the unshakeable authority and status of the Lingbao Daoist sect.

When Zhao Xuan revealed his array spirit in front of Zhao Gongming, demonstrating that he already possessed the powerful combat strength of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain no longer needed to pay tribute to the Spirit Treasure Dao Sect.

After all, the Primordial Golden Immortal is the core fighting force of the entire Spirit Treasure Divine Realm, and such beings would never be mobilized lightly.

Once they reach this level, the resources produced by ordinary divine realms are often insufficient to meet their ever-increasing cultivation needs.

If we continue to force them to pay tribute, it would be tantamount to forcing these Grand Luo Immortals to resort to extreme measures such as plundering the resources of others in order to maintain their own cultivation progress.

This is precisely why those inner disciples and true disciples, despite each possessing their own divine realm, still choose to remain within the mountain gate to cultivate.

In fact, the underlying reason why sects are divided into three lineages lies precisely in this.

Outer disciples bear the heavy responsibility of expanding the territory, but they are not qualified to stay in the sect for long.

In comparison, although inner disciples have to take on certain tasks, it is much easier than for outer disciples, while they can still enjoy the generous benefits provided by the sect.

As for the true disciples, they hardly need to do anything, yet they can comfortably enjoy all the benefits brought by the sect.

For this reason, the rules of the sect are relatively lenient for outer disciples, while imposing many strict and demanding requirements on true disciples, and the requirements for inner disciples are somewhere in between.

Back then, after Luo Xuan accidentally discovered the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain, he, as an outer disciple of the Great Luo Golden Immortal sect, was able to request the help of Duobao Daoist, a true disciple of the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal sect. This was not merely due to personal friendship, but more importantly, it was due to the sect's rules.

Coincidentally, when Zhao Xuan successfully captured Hu Sheng, Zhao Gongming and the other three dared to openly pressure Daoist Duobao, for the same reason: the sect rules.

However, this permissive attitude of allowing outer disciples almost no restrictions outside the sect has led to a situation where the quality of outer disciples varies greatly.

In the eyes of the outer disciples, the area outside the mountain gate seemed to be a free and unrestrained world where they could do almost anything they wanted;

But once you step inside the mountain gate, it's like being trapped in a cage, making every step difficult.

The saying "Everything is permitted outside the mountain gate, but it's impossible to move an inch inside" perfectly illustrates this.

For this reason, major events like the Outer Disciples' Dao Discussion Conference were not even qualified to be held within the sect's main gate. Instead, the location was chosen on a sacred mountain thousands of miles away from the main gate.

Under normal circumstances, once outer disciples leave the sect, they will generally not return unless summoned personally by Daoist Lingbao or it happens to be Daoist Lingbao's birthday.

After all, while there are many resources and opportunities within the sect for these outer disciples, the strict rules and constraints are also daunting.

However, the Outer Sect Dao Discussion Conference, which takes place once every ten thousand years, is an exception.

Even those who usually keep their distance from the temple gates will show them respect and participate enthusiastically at this time.

With the four outer disciples in charge, even if they encounter some minor troubles, they won't suffer too much injustice.

For this reason, before the outer sect discussion conference officially began, many outer sect disciples were already wandering around in groups of three or five.

It wouldn't be entirely accurate to say they were just wandering around aimlessly. In reality, these outer disciples were more interested in taking advantage of this once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity to collect some precious spiritual items and Daoist essences, or to comprehend the Golden Turtle Boundless Divine Array.

Apart from those who entered the outer sect through normal master-disciple transmission, most of these outer disciples had to forcefully break through using the Divine Essence Differentiation method when they were about to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

While doing so may temporarily improve their cultivation level, it also means that their path of cultivation will be cut off.

If one cannot find a new opportunity to reconnect with the original path, then breaking through one's own realm again is almost a pipe dream.

Knowing the difficulties involved, these outer disciples believed that the best option was to enhance their strength by studying various cultivation techniques and gain a certain degree of influence through that strength.

Among the many arts and crafts of cultivation, the art of array formations is considered the pinnacle, hence the countless people who practice array formations.
