My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Chapter 236 Entering the Xuanhuang Realm

Moreover, the mysterious and unpredictable Xuanhuang Realm has its gates open to the outside world, and from time to time, some extraordinary and highly skilled cultivators step into this realm. These great cultivators are no ordinary beings; they not only possess immense power but are also filled with boundless wisdom.

After all, without sufficient wisdom and understanding, how can one break free from the constraints of their original world and successfully transcend it?

As these great cultivators from different worlds arrived in droves, various entirely new cultivation systems and unique cultivation knowledge poured into the Xuanhuang Realm. They interacted and collided, sparking countless new flashes of wisdom like sparks flying everywhere.

The exchange and integration of ideas have made the cultivation atmosphere in the Xuanhuang Realm increasingly rich, and various innovative concepts have emerged one after another.

However, the Xuanhuang Realm is not without its restrictions on cultivators entering. This is because the Xuanhuang Realm is teeming with geniuses, and its high-level cultivators are countless.

To gain a foothold here, one must reach the level of a Primordial Grand Supreme Golden Immortal. If one fails to reach the Primordial Realm, even one's own safety may be difficult to guarantee.

Of course, it's not entirely impossible for cultivators of lower realms to step into the mysterious and powerful Xuanhuang Realm. However, the price they would have to pay is truly staggering.

After all, cultivators at lower levels are relatively weak in terms of strength, far from being able to directly enter the main world of the Xuanhuang Realm. But there is always a way out; they still have another option—to venture into the various smaller worlds under the Xuanhuang Realm.

However, there are many things to be particularly careful about here. This is because the Heavenly Dao rules of these subordinate worlds are far less benevolent and compassionate than the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm itself.

Every cultivator who wishes to enter these worlds must first thoroughly integrate their own primordial power into the Heavenly Dao of that world; only in this way can they gain the qualification to pass. This act is like a drop of water silently merging into a vast and boundless ocean, thus becoming intimately connected and integrated with the entire world.

Once this step is completed, the cultivators have truly entered this new world. However, if they later develop a desire to leave this world, it will be no easy task.

The only way to break free from this world that has become one with it is to embark on the arduous and perilous path of transcendence.

Moreover, this path is extremely rugged and arduous. Even those practitioners who have been fortunate enough to achieve transcendence once are uncertain and have no idea whether they can achieve transcendence a second time.

However, in this complex and vast world, there always exists a group of low-level cultivators with inflated confidence. They are ambitious and passionate, completely disregarding the dangers ahead, and resolutely embark on this path of cultivation full of unknowns and perils, just to test their skills and explore those endless mysteries.

It is precisely because of the existence of these brave and fearless individuals that the cultivation civilization within the vast and boundless magical realm of Xuanhuang Realm has spread like wildfire, developing rapidly at an astonishing speed and presenting an unprecedented scene of prosperity.

On this magical land, all sorts of great spiritual practitioners emerge like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, dazzling and overwhelming the eye. It should be understood that those who achieve the title of great spiritual practitioner are all extraordinary masters possessing wisdom beyond the mundane.

If they did not possess such extraordinary abilities, how could they have overcome all obstacles and persevered on the long and arduous path of cultivation, ultimately surviving and thriving?

The Divine Guards attacked Zhao Xuan simultaneously, working together to imprint a unique and mysterious mark upon him. In an instant, Zhao Xuan felt an incomparably powerful force surge into his body, causing all the meridians in his body to tremble violently.

Just then, Zhao Xuan suddenly swayed his body, dashing out like lightning and disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye. Accompanied by a faint, almost imperceptible spatial fluctuation, dazzling lights began to flicker and intertwine.

As the light gradually faded, everyone was astonished to find that Zhao Xuan had appeared unharmed on a desolate, lifeless, and remote planet. Upon landing, Zhao Xuan stood firmly on this unfamiliar land like an arrow released from a bow.

Immediately afterwards, he took a deep breath and quickly mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, gathering it at the center of his forehead. In an instant, an invisible divine sense surged out like a tide, sweeping out in all directions from him.

As his divine sense continued to extend and spread, Zhao Xuan began to carefully explore this mysterious planet. However, when he saw the scene before him, his heart sank and his brows furrowed tightly.

The planet seemed to have been forgotten by time, presenting a desolate and lifeless scene. As far as the eye could see, there were only endless deserts, jagged mountain ranges, and dried-up riverbeds, without a trace of green, let alone any other signs of life.

Moreover, Zhao Xuan keenly sensed that the spiritual energy here was exceptionally thin, almost negligible. A thick, suffocating, oppressive atmosphere permeated the air, as if the entire planet were shrouded in a heavy haze, creating an unbearable sense of unease.

However, Zhao Xuan wasn't too surprised by this situation. He had already mentally prepared himself for all sorts of difficulties and obstacles he might encounter before even entering the Xuanhuang Realm.

As is well known, when first arriving in the Xuanhuang Realm, most people will first appear in places like these desolate spiritual sources. These places are often harsh environments and scarce resources, truly forbidden zones for life.

However, from another perspective, these places are also excellent testing grounds for cultivators' strength and will. Only those who truly possess great strength and unwavering faith can survive in such desperate situations and gradually explore the cultivation civilization hidden deep within the Xuanhuang Realm.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself: "It seems that the Xuanhuang Realm truly lives up to its reputation! Finding that legendary cultivation civilization here will probably not be an easy task..."

It's important to understand that the Xuanhuang Realm and the Divine Realm share many similarities. Between different Divine Realms, various restrictions and obstacles hinder smooth communication and the sharing of spiritual resources.

Therefore, each divine realm has developed a unique cultivation system and cultural heritage. Now, in the Xuanhuang Realm, Zhao Xuan faces challenges not only from the harsh natural environment but also from the unpredictable and treacherous path of cultivation.

Similarly, for cultivators from the outside world, as long as they dare to step into the mysterious and ancient realm of Xuanhuang, they will immediately fall into a strange predicament—no matter how hard they try, they cannot draw even the slightest bit of power from this world.

This peculiar phenomenon seems to be an indestructible barrier set up by the Xuanhuang Realm, ruthlessly severing the connection between outside cultivators and local energy.

In this way, when these outside cultivators are in the Xuanhuang Realm, every bit of energy they consume is like throwing it into a bottomless abyss, with no return. However, unexpectedly, this seemingly harsh condition did not deter many cultivators.

In fact, the vast majority of cultivators resolutely choose to enter the Xuanhuang Realm not to greedily absorb its energy.

On the contrary, what they truly yearn for is to make friends with experts from all walks of life in this land full of unknowns and challenges, and to exchange skills and experiences with each other.

In this way, they hope to learn from the strengths of others, continuously improve their own cultivation methods, and thus achieve a great leap in their wisdom and strength.

At that moment, Zhao Xuan stood quietly in place, a faint look of helplessness appearing on his handsome face. He gently shook his head, seemingly feeling somewhat helpless about the situation before him.

Immediately afterwards, his figure suddenly blurred, like a dazzling shooting star streaking across the sky, speeding towards the vast and boundless starry sky at an astonishing speed.

His goal for this journey was very clear—to traverse this vast and boundless starry sky and search for planets that might harbor signs of life.

In his view, only on those distant and mysterious planets could one possibly find clues to cultivation civilizations. Thus, filled with anticipation and longing, Zhao Xuan embarked on this perilous and unknown journey without hesitation.

However, for others, successfully traversing the stars is undoubtedly an extremely difficult and energy-intensive undertaking. But for Zhao Xuan, the situation is entirely different.

His incredibly powerful, almost supernatural physical body granted him extraordinary abilities. Let alone traversing the stars—a seemingly unattainable goal—even simply moving through the void required negligible energy from him.

However, despite Zhao Xuan's astonishing supernatural abilities, whether he can use them at will depends on the specific world environment he is in.

Take the Xuanhuang Realm as an example; this is a high-level world! In this world, the Heavenly Dao's control over the laws of time, space, and so on is extremely tight. Under such circumstances, if someone attempts to easily traverse the void here, it can only be considered an unrealistic fantasy.

Of course, we absolutely cannot conclude that spatial laws do not exist in the Xuanhuang Realm. On the contrary, it is precisely because the Xuanhuang Realm occupies a high position that the Heavenly Dao attaches extraordinary importance to important laws such as spatial laws.

Even if cultivators can enter those mysterious and unpredictable realms of laws, the role these laws play is merely a minor auxiliary function, far from being something that cultivators can use at will.

To be precise, describing this situation as cultivators actively mobilizing the power of the laws is a bit far-fetched. More accurately, it should be seen as them being favored by the Heavenly Dao, thus being able to obtain that insignificant bit of power by chance.

Zhao Xuan thought to himself, "This so-called long path of cultivation is like a bottomless and invisible whirlpool! Once you're trapped in it, it's hard to get out." Especially in places like the Human Immortal Realm in the Lesser Thousand Worlds, where they actually use authority as bait to motivate and guide cultivators to keep striving forward.

This method of manipulating a practitioner's cultivation process may seem ingenious and unique at first glance, leaving people in awe; but upon closer examination, it is found to be extremely cold-blooded and ruthless, devoid of any pity or warmth.

In this vast and boundless天地 (heaven and earth), countless cultivators are scattered like stars. They are all fighting bravely and relentlessly for that seemingly insignificant increase in power, even risking their lives to fight to the death, and have no regrets even if they are bleeding from head to toe.

However, sadly, few of these people are able to maintain a clear head and realize that they are merely tiny pawns to be manipulated at will by those pre-set rules.

Zhao Xuan had been flying alone in the vast and boundless starry sky for a very long time. The long, solitary journey gradually left him feeling physically and mentally exhausted, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Just when he felt he was about to give up, suddenly, a faint light appeared not far ahead. This unexpected light was like a beacon in the darkness, instantly igniting the flame of hope in Zhao Xuan's heart. His spirits lifted, and without hesitation, he increased his speed, speeding towards the faint light like a burning meteor.

As the distance between them continued to shrink, Zhao Xuan was pleasantly surprised to discover that the faint light actually originated from a rather old and dilapidated spaceship. This spaceship drifted alone in the vast universe, like a wanderer who had experienced many vicissitudes.

As Zhao Xuan approached it, through the spaceship's transparent porthole, he could clearly see several strangely shaped creatures busily working inside.

Some of these creatures are short in stature but have huge wings; some are as large as mountains but have small, delicate faces; and some are covered with a thick layer of scales that shimmer with an eerie light... They seem to be working together to repair or adjust some kind of mysterious equipment or device.
