My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

For a moment, the entire audience fell into a deathly silence, but just a moment later, thunderous cheers suddenly erupted, the sound waves rolling and soaring into the sky.

In stark contrast, the faces of Daoist Duobao and the others were extremely gloomy. They stared intently at Zhao Xuan standing on the arena, their eyes flashing with resentment.

On the other hand, Zhao Xuan himself looked calm and composed, as if what he had just experienced was nothing more than an ordinary little competition.

Just then, a dazzling and auspicious light suddenly descended from the clear, cloudless sky, enveloping Zhao Xuan like a magnificent ribbon of light.

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Before they could recover, a grand voice, like the sound of a great bell, came from the distant sky: "Luo Xuan displayed great bravery on the arena, and is hereby bestowed upon him a Heaven-Mending Divine Pill."

Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Xuan slowly raised his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Following his gaze, everyone saw a young man with an extremely dignified face standing quietly in mid-air.

He stood tall and imposing, with no apparent fluctuations of mysterious energy around him.

But when everyone saw the figure in the sky, without exception they all bowed down, respectfully paid their respects, and shouted in unison, "Disciple greets Venerable Qingping!"

At that very moment, even the incredibly powerful array spirit reacted in the same way, as if it had felt an irresistible pressure.

At the same time, the other eight arenas also stopped operating simultaneously, and the eighteen people who were fighting fiercely suddenly appeared on the arena.

They looked up at the mysterious figure in the sky, their faces filled with awe, and bowed in respect.

The nine high-ranking Grand Luo Immortals dared not be negligent in the slightest, and they bowed respectfully to the figure in the air.

However, the being known as Venerable Qingping merely nodded slightly, without uttering a single word, before vanishing without a trace like a ghost.

With the departure of Venerable Qingping, this originally highly anticipated outer sect Daoist conference suddenly lost all its meaning and brilliance.

The five Grand Luo Immortals—Daoist Duobao, Immortal Wuyun, Immortal Qiushou, Immortal Lingya, and Immortal Yuyi—did not hesitate to abandon the idea of ​​continuing to hold the Outer Sect Dao Discussion Conference.

The five men decisively waved their arms, and a dazzling light instantly enveloped the numerous disciples who had followed them. Then, without a word, they vanished from the spot along with their disciples.

At this moment, only Zhao Gongming, witnessing the four fleeing Grand Luo Immortals in their disheveled state, couldn't help but burst into an extremely hearty laugh. His laughter, like a resounding bell, echoed through the heavens, lingering for a long time.

Upon seeing this, the three Xiao sisters standing to the side couldn't help but cover their faces and chuckle.

They gently waved their feathered sleeves, their graceful figures and clear, melodious laughter adding a touch of ease and joy to the otherwise tense and oppressive atmosphere.

Zhao Xuan stared silently at the horizon where Venerable Qingping disappeared, remaining silent for a long time. The vast sky seemed to still hold the aura and lingering power of Venerable Qingping's departure.

It's important to understand that Venerable Qingping is not an independent figure in the ordinary sense; he is the spirit of the Golden Turtle Boundless Array. The strength of this array spirit has already reached the profound level of the seventh realm.

Nearly a thousand mysterious and vast divine rivers together form the source of her power, and it is because of this that she was able to break free from the shackles of the formation and exist alone in the world.

The strength possessed by Venerable Qingping is comparable to that of a Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal, and even surpasses that of Daoist Lingbao himself.

However, although her realm surpassed that of Lingbao Daojun, since Lingbao Daojun was the creator of the array spirits, Venerable Qingping still had to obey Lingbao Daojun's instructions.

In fact, this perception and control of creation by a creator can even be seen as one person.

From another perspective, Qingping Daozun can perhaps be seen as Lingbao Daojun's external incarnation in the field of array formations.

For example, even though Zhao Xuan has left the Fire Crow Sect's divine domain, he can still remotely control Luo Jin from a distant place.

The concept of "external avatar" differs from the common concept of "clone" in that this control is not the kind of unrestrained, all-encompassing control.

When Zhao Xuan, as the creator, does not need Luo Jin to perform specific tasks, Luo Jin, as a spirit array, not only possesses its own independent intelligent thinking ability, but also enjoys a considerable degree of autonomous decision-making power.

Lingbao Daojun usually either closes the door of his cave and quietly cultivates in order to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation; or he goes deep into the intricate underground water veins to explore the hidden mysteries.

Basically, unless it's a grand birthday celebration that only happens once every 100 years—equivalent to a grand birthday banquet held only once every 129,600 years in the human world.

At other times, apart from the four trusted disciples, the four outer disciples with special status, and the seven immortals who served him, who could occasionally catch a glimpse of his true appearance, almost everyone else rarely had the chance to see the demeanor of Daoist Lingbao.

In this way, the person who is actually in charge of the daily management of Lingbao Daozong is actually Daozun Qingping.

Because Qingping Daozun has long shouldered this important responsibility, the time he has managed the Lingbao Dao Sect has even exceeded that of Lingbao Daojun himself.

For this reason, coupled with his special connection with Daoist Lingbao, seeing Daoist Qingping within the sect was like seeing Daoist Lingbao.

However, it should be noted that Qingping Daozun is essentially a spiritual entity.

Even if her wisdom is astonishingly profound, she is ultimately just a spirit of a formation.

Formations are a magical path to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, profoundly explaining the infinite mysteries of the operation of the Dao.

Therefore, the spirit array can also be regarded as a unique existence that cultivates along the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao.

His personality is similar to that of Laozi.

Therefore, the principle of the array spirit is to act in accordance with the times and follow the laws of nature, advocating the concept of governing by non-action in dealing with all things in the world.

Therefore, although Daoist Qingping controlled the entire sect, he rarely interfered in specific affairs on a daily basis, simply letting the sect operate according to its established rules.

For a sect, sect rules are as supreme as the heavenly way. As long as one does not exceed the scope defined by the sect rules, everything is permissible.

Zhao Xuan slowly withdrew his gaze, his heart filled with intense curiosity and deep awe for the mysterious and unpredictable Venerable Qingping.

He deeply understood that the road ahead within the Lingbao Dao Sect was still incredibly long.

Even if he revealed his true form without reservation, he would probably still find it difficult to contend with the unfathomable Qingping Daoist before him.

Just then, Zhao Gongming walked steadily to Zhao Xuan's side, gently patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "Fellow Daoist, you have had a very glorious day today, but remember never to become arrogant or complacent because of it!"

Zhao Xuan nodded upon hearing this.

In the days that followed, although Zhao Xuan would explain the essentials of the Dao to the outer disciples on time, he secretly devoted most of his attention to trying to comprehend the unique aura he had sensed from Venerable Qingping that day.

Although on the surface, Daoist Qingping appears no different from ordinary mortals, and there is not even the slightest fluctuation of her aura, in reality, this precisely reflects a profound realm beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The essence of spiritual practice is to uphold one's original intention and remain constant, while being able to flexibly respond to all kinds of changes in the world.

This seemingly ordinary state, which actually hides profound mysteries, may be the ultimate realm that countless cultivators yearn to pursue and achieve throughout their lives.

Of course, the "unchanging" mentioned here is only a relative meaning of unchanging.

The traditional cultivation practices in the Divine Realm follow the Six Unchanging Principles, and all cultivation methods evolve from these Six Unchanging Principles.

The first unchanging thing is called "Immortal". Immortals are beings who transcend the mortal world. What they pursue is the Great Dao that transcends the mundane.

For this reason, external factors and disturbances rarely have a substantial impact on immortals.

The second constant is "gold". Gold can be liquefied, and after liquefaction, it becomes fluid, but at the same time, it can maintain its original properties for a long time. It flows and renews itself without decaying or spoiling, so it can be called an incorruptible substance.

The third constant is "Da Luo," which means all-encompassing and all-inclusive.

When a person's size becomes extremely large, they are like a drop in the ocean. External influences are like a drop of ink falling into the sea, unable to cause any ripples. Such a being naturally becomes something untainted by filth.

The fourth unchanging principle is called "Primordial Chaos," which is like the starting point of all things, like the source of a river. No matter how the world changes, it can only affect its downstream parts, but cannot shake this original starting point in the slightest.

Let's talk about the fifth constant – "Tai Chi". Tai Chi is in a state of constant change and is constantly changing itself. However, it is precisely because of this inherent variability that it is not easily affected by external changes.

Finally, the sixth thing that remains unchanged is naturally "Hongmeng".

Whether it's the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal or the Great Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal, the core principle they uphold is Taiji.

It is thanks to the four unchanging elements of Tai Chi, the vast inclusiveness of Da Luo, the enduring stability of metal, and the transcendence of immortals that the primordial unchanging nature can gradually transform and sublimate into the more profound and unfathomable primordial unchanging nature.

As for why ordinary people cannot perceive the fluctuations of Qingping Daozun's aura, the reason is simple: the difference in their cultivation levels is simply too vast.

Just like an ant looking up at the sky, how can it possibly comprehend its mysteries and wonders?

However, Zhao Xuan was only a small step away from the supreme Hongmeng Taiji Golden Immortal realm, and compared to that Qingping Daoist, he was only one step away.

For this reason, Zhao Xuan was able to clearly perceive the mysterious and indescribable fluctuations of energy emanating from Daoist Qingping, thanks to his extremely keen senses.

Time flies, and after a long preaching journey that lasted for a century, Zhao Xuan finally completed this preaching session.

He began to devote all his energy to analyzing and cultivating the aura of Daoist Qingping.

One day, just as he was fully immersed in his cultivation, he suddenly felt the previously calm space around him suddenly undergo a violent distortion. Then, an unusually familiar and incomparably powerful aura spread rapidly like a surging tide.

Zhao Xuan was startled and quickly opened his eyes to look closely. He saw a figure appear before him, none other than the highly respected Venerable Qingping.

Zhao Xuan dared not be negligent in the slightest, and hurriedly stood up, bowed, and shouted, "Luo Xuan pays respects to Venerable Qingping!"

Upon seeing this, Venerable Qingping slightly raised his right hand and waved it gently, indicating that there was no need for further formalities.

With piercing eyes, Venerable Qingping stared intently at Zhao Xuan, scrutinizing him from head to toe, before slowly speaking: "That day, I happened to see the extraordinary composure and spirit you displayed when you were competing with someone on the arena. I found it quite remarkable, so I came here today to investigate and see if you truly possess the potential to become an unparalleled powerhouse."

Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, it proves that my judgment was correct; you truly have not disappointed me.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan's face showed a look of being flattered and surprised. At the same time, he replied respectfully, "Thank you for your care and appreciation, Venerable One. I will definitely do my best to cultivate diligently so that I can achieve something as soon as possible and live up to your high expectations!"

Venerable Qingping nodded in satisfaction, then earnestly instructed, "If you truly achieve great success in the future, remember not to forget your original intention in embarking on the path of cultivation, and be sure to do your best to protect our ancient Lingbao Dao Sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, Venerable Qingping's figure gradually became blurred, and finally, like a wisp of smoke, it slowly dissipated into the air, leaving Zhao Xuan standing alone in the same spot.

His eyes gazed into the distance, seemingly still savoring the words the Venerable One had just spoken…

However, his heart was as if it were being ravaged by a storm, with turbulent waves surging within.

It should be noted that after hundreds of years of dedicated cultivation, and with the guidance of the mysterious and unpredictable aura of Daoist Qingping, his understanding and perception of the Primordial Chaos level aura has now reached a new level.
