My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Having spent a year in a dark, sunless cave, and never even seen the sun, Zhao Xuan thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of the sun shining on him.

The members of the Heavenly Stems Squad quickly gathered at Zhao Xuan's door, kneeling on one knee and shouting, "We respectfully invite our lord to emerge from seclusion."

Zhao Xuan waved his hand.

Since the second time they helped them enlighten their minds, the members of the Heavenly Stems Squad have shown increasing respect for Zhao Xuan, showing a tendency to become fanatical believers.

It implies that if you don't know me, you might regard me as worthless. But if you do know me, you should revere me as a true god.

Perhaps it was because Yi asked a question: "With the Lord's cultivation, wouldn't we also have the possibility of achieving the Great Perfection of the Three Treasures Golden Flower?"

Zhao Xuan nodded and explained to everyone his methods of cultivating the Three Treasures Lotus Platform and some of its wondrous uses.

From that day on, the members of the Heavenly Stems Squad regarded Zhao Xuan with the utmost respect, as if he were a true god.

Zhao Xuan stayed at the Imperial Estate for another year, absorbing enough of the energy of the four seasons.

Once the Qi of the four seasons is complete, Zhao Xuan's spiritual realm will be considered fully cultivated.

The essence of eleven Jiazi, the vital energy of seven Jiazi, and the divine energy of five Jiazi.

A complete realm is formed by the accumulation of essence, qi, and spirit over three cycles of sixty years.

With just one more cycle of divine energy remaining, Zhao Xuan would have already reached the Grandmaster realm.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan's current realm is Grandmaster Rank 8, but he has five Jiazi of essence power and one Jiazi of qi power, which is more than the normal Grandmaster Rank 2.

Zhao Xuan enlightened the Heavenly Stems Team again, but this time it took a long time, a whole year, before the members of the Heavenly Stems Team could truly transform their cultivation level to the second rank of Grandmaster.

The reason for this situation is that the Qi and Shen Yuan of the Heavenly Stems Squad are about the same level.

To understand the reasons behind this, we need to know what Jiazi Daoxing (甲子道行) means.

The Miscellaneous School's "Record of Cultivation for All Races" states that only those with nine orifices can cultivate. The nine orifices give rise to life, transforming into a human being. The human body is the culmination of the universe.

The medical text *Treatise on Acupoints and Acupoints of the Human Body* states that humans have 365 acupoints, corresponding to the number of stars in the celestial sphere. Among these, nine are considered "absolute" acupoints, thirty-six are "life-giving" acupoints, seventy-two are "death-causing" acupoints, and the rest are ordinary acupoints. Therefore, the human body is a product of nature's design.

The Taoist text *Record of Cultivation* states that there are three spiritual apertures, three qi apertures, and three primordial apertures. The spiritual apertures contain the sea of ​​consciousness and are located above. The qi apertures contain the sea of ​​qi and are located in the middle. The primordial apertures contain the sea of ​​essence and are located below.

In summary, the prerequisite for cultivation for all races is to have nine orifices, namely three spiritual orifices, three qi orifices, and three primordial orifices.

Only with a spiritual aperture can one possess spirituality, and only then can one connect with the spirituality of heaven and earth in a state of unawareness, instinctively using the energy aperture to absorb the spirituality of heaven and earth, that is, spiritual energy, to strengthen oneself.

As one absorbs more spiritual energy, one's spirituality increases significantly, leading to the formation of self-awareness and accelerating the absorption of spiritual energy.

And those who want to explore and break free from constraints will gather the creative power contained in their spiritual energy between their primordial apertures, creating a living body that embodies self-awareness and power, becoming a truly existing being.

Humans are born with nine orifices, and in addition to these nine orifices, there are other acupoints to perfect themselves. Therefore, all races will transform into human form when they reach a certain level of cultivation and continue their cultivation.

The nine orifices are called "absolute orifices" for two reasons: first, damage to the nine orifices could endanger the life of a living being; second, damage to the nine orifices means that the connection with heaven and earth will be greatly reduced, cutting off the path of cultivation.

In Zhao Xuan's view, the spiritual aperture condenses the power of divine essence, the qi aperture condenses the power of qi essence, and the primordial aperture condenses the power of essence essence.

The so-called "sixty years of cultivation" refers to the power that one's nine orifices absorb from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for sixty years, which is then refined by living beings and becomes entirely one's own.

Humans have 365 acupoints, and it's not just the nine acupoints that can absorb spiritual energy. Therefore, a 60-year cultivation period is a measure for the human race, not something that must be achieved through 60 years of cultivation.

The speed of absorption varies, as does the speed of refining, so the speed at which each person cultivates to the point of sixty years of Taoist practice differs drastically.

People like Zhao Xuan have extremely fast absorption and refining speeds due to their supernatural abilities.

But others are not like that.

The Nine Ancient Practices were all extreme cultivation methods. They did not cultivate all three treasures simultaneously, but rather focused on cultivating the power of a single treasure. This is why they were abolished by the ancient human emperor.

Hunters cultivate their essence power. Pure essence power is naturally not as good as the power condensed by the Three Treasures. Therefore, hunters integrate the power of demon souls and demonic energy into their own essence power to enhance its destructive power.

Demon hunters who inherit the mantle of hunters actually cultivate in the same way, except that they cultivate their own Qi and Divine power a little more.

The demonic resentment and bloodlust on the Heavenly Stems Squad are the condensation of their cultivation.

It is only equivalent to the cultivation level of a Grandmaster-level Demon Blood Demon, which is equivalent to twenty-seven Jiazi.

More than half of it is condensed from the power of essence, and the remaining half is condensed from the power of qi. The power of spirit only accounts for a small part of it.

All ten members of the Heavenly Stems Squad are like this, only the proportions are slightly different.

Therefore, during the enlightenment process, they can easily comprehend and condense the Flower of Essence, followed by the Flower of Qi, and the Flower of Divine Essence is the most difficult.

After removing the parts that are too difficult to fuse, it is estimated that the Grandmaster level is the limit.

They need to rebuild the energy of the Three Treasures.

However, everyone was still very happy, after all, they had 360 years to cultivate slowly, and they no longer had to jump between life and death.

The important thing is that they can use external objects to enhance themselves. After being enlightened by Zhao Xuan, they can perfectly integrate the essence of the external objects into themselves, so there is no need to worry about the impurity of the Three Treasures of Strength.

And you don't have to worry about refining too much and not being able to keep it; the speed is countless times faster than that of ordinary people.

By this time, Zhao Xuan had been away from Kaoshan Village for three years and five months.

In the past three years and five months, the grain has ripened six times. Zhao Xuan's name has also been recognized by millions of ordinary people in Jinyang City because of the grain output of the imperial estate and his four shops.

It brought Zhao Xuan a lot of faith power.

As for the middle and upper classes, it sounds nice, but whether it's growing grain or fruit, it's considered a lowly profession. Apart from bringing some monetary gains, there's really not much faith involved.

Ten years later, Zhao Xuan's various grains and fruit trees earned the gratitude of all the farmers in Jinyang City and the recognition of most of the common people at the bottom of society.

Zhao Xuan's cultivation level also rose to the fourth rank of Grandmaster, and he decided to leave Jinyang City.

Having gained the approval of all the farmers and most of the common people, Zhao Xuan gathered enough power of civil rights, and the Twelve Spirit Essences were thus perfected.

He then drew upon sixty years' worth of Primordial Divine Power from the Primordial Divine Stone, condensing the sixth-grade divine essence of a Grandmaster.

Although his cultivation speed was very fast, Zhao Xuan still decided to leave Jinyang City.

Because Jinyang City was a city without hope.

For thousands of years, the Zhao family has completely controlled the society. Although there is peace and prosperity, the social hierarchy has become corrupted.

The son of a nobleman remains a nobleman, the son of a merchant remains a merchant, the child of an artisan remains an artisan, and the son of a farmer remains a farmer...

For the Zhao dynasty, which had been rooted for millennia, the stability of its ancestral land was paramount.

So, in the past thirteen years, Zhao Xuan has only managed to hold off one beast tide in Jinyang City, when his soldiers risked their lives to resist it.

I didn't see anything particularly moving or inspiring.

Anything that might affect the stability of Jinyang City would be suppressed as soon as it appeared.

The disharmony Zhao Xuan felt when he entered the city was not due to demons causing trouble in Jinyang City, but rather to the power to suppress all and the selfish desire to devour everything.

Zhao Mingcheng left five years ago because he plotted against Zhao Xuan. At a banquet, he arranged for a deity, ten grandmasters, and one hundred grandmasters to ambush and kill Zhao Xuan and the Heavenly Stems Squad.

After being killed by Zhao Xuan and the Tiangan Squad, they left Jinyang City.

The idea that one rebels because they want to do something is both true and false, because that's only the most insignificant part of the whole affair.

The reign title "Emperor Zhao for Ten Thousand Years" contains nearly two hundred characters.

Each character represents the family fortune of the Zhao dynasty over sixty years.

Those who establish separate family genealogies are all people who have absorbed the fortune of the Zhao family over sixty years.

However, Wannian only managed to compile a mere hundred genealogies.

Because the rest all failed in the struggle for destiny.

Zhao Mingcheng originally thought that one of the eldest and second princes was the one who would receive the destiny of the Zhao dynasty for sixty years, but he did not want to kill each other, which is why he rebelled.

But after being demoted to Jinyang City, the longer he spent with Zhao Xuan, the more he realized that Zhao Xuan seemed to be the one who had received good fortune, more so than the two princes.

Amidst the beast tide, a mortal can accumulate billions of merits.

Despite his humble origins, he possesses a multitude of skills and is suspected of being recognized by ten deep-sea demon hunters who consider him their lord.

Using the methods of merchants to promote agricultural practices, he gained the approval of millions of people.

......

So he turned against Zhao Xuan, turning his former friend into a demon who stood in his way.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xuan had already received the divine realm techniques bestowed upon him by Zhao Xuancheng.

A person who had just entered the Divine Realm and had not even condensed the Three Treasures Golden Flower was pulled into Zhao Xuan's Forbidden Law Domain and killed by the Heavenly Stems Squad without Zhao Xuancheng even having to make a move. He was blocked for a moment by Zhao Xuan's protective Golden Flower.

Also killed were the Grandmaster and Grandmaster who had made the move.

Under Zhao Xuan's calm gaze, Zhao Mingcheng slowly recounted everything.

Zhao Xuan asked him why he was making his move now, instead of waiting for him to leave the city and set up an ambush.

Zhao Mingcheng said that he had considered Zhao Xuan a friend for so many years, and if he didn't take action now, he might not be able to bring himself to do it.

Zhao Xuan spared him, but severed all ties with him from then on.

Three days later, Zhao Mingcheng left Jinyang City, dragging his crippled body. Zhao Xuan watched him leave from the city wall.

A day later, someone handed Zhao Xuan a jade box.

Inside the jade box was a letter and a magical talisman.

The letter stated that he felt sorry for Zhao Xuan, and if Zhao Xuan saw him off when he left, he would give the jade box to Zhao Xuan as compensation.

He also mentioned that he entered the ranks at the age of six and awakened the immeasurable divine power, the Eye of Destiny, believing that he could surpass his elder brother, the great divine power of the Southern Dipper Literary Leader, and his second elder brother, the great divine power of the Northern Dipper Martial Leader.

But unexpectedly, fate was not fate, and the two champions were truly the same.

Thirty years have been wasted in vain, striving for fame and fortune. Only now do I realize that destiny is not the will of Heaven, but the Purple Star, where civil and military stars govern all spirits.

Therefore, he entrusted the Eye of Destiny to himself.

I will return to the imperial court and go into seclusion to cultivate the "Huangji Jingshi Jing". If I achieve success, we will meet again in the future.
