My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Zhao Xuan was spared from having his memories erased by the human race's fortune after he had foreseen the future, thanks to the light of the Creation Lotus.

After learning all this, Zhao Xuan lost interest in the cave.

Leaving aside the issue of the immense causal relationship, even if all seven kingdoms joined forces, they shouldn't expect to gain any advantage.

All those who have opened up the Heavenly Court in the outside world are at least at the half-step perfect Emperor Realm.

Its six imperial emperors, the six heavenly ministries, and the eight divine camps must have already achieved most of their goals.

After the Heavenly Emperor went into slumber, each era was ruled by a different emperor in turn.

This emperor was one of the high-ranking gods who were appointed to high positions.

The minimum cultivation level is Emperor Realm.

Therefore, don't expect to gain any benefits.

If it were a grotto-heaven left behind by the Heavenly Emperor's fall or departure from the realm, Zhao Xuan would absolutely not release it.

In particular, some emperors in ancient times would also cultivate in cave heavens, and after their fall, they would leave behind cave heavens.

That would be a great opportunity.

Don't underestimate the difference between the Saint Realm and the Emperor Realm; there's only one realm difference between the Emperor Realm and the Sovereign Realm.

But this situation can lead to despair.

For a genius like Zhao Xuan, reaching the Saint Realm in three hundred years is already considered fast.

But this one step from the ninth rank to the first rank in the Holy Realm has driven many people to despair.

Of course, this refers to the true realm.

There's a saying that's been circulating in the cultivation world: spiritual energy drips onto stone, cultivation is tempered like steel, and principles are found like a needle in the ocean.

It means that accumulating spiritual energy is like water dripping on a stone; although it takes a lot of time, perseverance will eventually lead to that day when the water drips on the stone.

However, transforming spiritual energy into one's own cultivation is like forging steel through a hundred refinements; it requires not only unwavering perseverance but also skill.

In the cultivation of Taoism, a certain proportion of principles and methods are also required, and accumulating principles and methods is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Perseverance, skills, and luck are all indispensable.

If any one of the three is missing, it is a false realm.

For example, Zhao Xuan's current cultivation level is thirty-six Jiazi, but it is only level five, which is based on level five spiritual energy from thirty-six Jiazi.

Converted to first-level spiritual energy, that's 21.6 million years of spiritual energy.

Each grade of advancement in the Holy Realm requires this amount of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy concentration is one in general areas of Earth, ten in large cities, and eleven hundred in inner cities.

That is, accumulating this amount of spiritual energy within the inner city of the great city; each grade of the Saint Realm requires 216,000 years.

Of course, this calculation takes into account the two hours of cultivation in a day, but even if one cultivates for all twelve hours of a day, it would still take 36,000 years.

You could set up a more powerful formation, seek a better place to cultivate, and observe more precepts, reducing the time by tenfold, but it would still take 360 ​​years.

Of course, you can't just shut yourself in to absorb spiritual energy. You also need to train your mind to be able to control more spiritual energy and refine it into your own cultivation.

This is something that formations and treasure lands cannot achieve, so it will basically take ten times longer.

The best cultivation method for humans, the refinement of principles, can only be practiced for two hours each day.

In the Five Realms of Daoist Cultivation, the principle and method account for 50%, which is the same amount of time.

In other words, under normal circumstances, it would take 7,200 years for a Saint to advance to the first rank.

That's roughly 65,000 years.

If one's mental state is not up to par, this long period of time can cause ordinary practitioners to lose their mental balance.

One way to adjust one's state of mind is to shut out memories and experience the vicissitudes of life.

The second method is deep sleep, using long periods of deep sleep to regulate one's state of mind.

If the Saint Realm is already this difficult, the Emperor Realm is even more so.

Cultivation in the Emperor Realm is dozens of times more difficult than in the Saint Realm, and requires much longer.

Even more have fallen into slumber.

In ancient and prehistoric times, the human race had to constantly fight with other races to compete for human living space. At that time, the Holy Realm and the Imperial Realm had their own responsibilities and rarely went into slumber.

However, since ancient times, the human race has held an absolute advantage.

With a more stable environment, the number of Saint Realms and Emperor Realms has increased significantly compared to the ancient and prehistoric times.

Whether there is war or not, many people often lose themselves because of this.

This is why the path of sainthood has become mainstream. If you can't find the motivation and purpose for living, your ancestors will give you a viable path, giving you time to find your own meaning.

In addition, the ancient and prehistoric human races basically only began cultivating their grotto-heavens after reaching the Emperor Realm.

However, in recent times, even slightly powerful Saint Realm beings could obtain a Void Core and then use it as a core to build their own space.

This provides them with a safer environment where they can peacefully slumber and adjust themselves.

Therefore, seeking out hidden caves and treasures is also a way to acquire resources for cultivation.

However, since ancient times, those at the Saint Realm and above have been relatively safe on Earth, and there have been very few instances of powerful Saint Realm cultivators falling to their deaths.

Once you reach a slightly more powerful Holy Realm, you can start exploring the starry sky. On Earth, you can only search for ancient and prehistoric caves.

Over the past million years, most of the ancient and prehistoric caves have been discovered.

He instructed Zhongshan and the other two to keep an eye out and gather information about the cave.

Zhao Xuan then left the East China Sea.

Instinctively, he sensed that even if this cave was not Han Fei's, he would basically gain nothing from it.

Since achieving the Boundless Sacred Body, the Creation Green Lotus has altered Zhao Xuan's destiny.

Zhao Xuan himself became a body without fortune, neither receiving the blessing of luck nor being affected by karma.

Opportunities in the world will not come to Zhao Xuan on their own initiative, nor will dangers in the world come to him on their own initiative.

This is why it took Zhao Xuan a lot of time to find a place where calamity energy was concentrated.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Xuan can do whatever he wants. All his karma is gathered in the Pangu Dao Embryo formed by the unborn Creation Lotus.

If the karmic burden is too heavy, then the obstacles will be greater when Pangu's Dao embryo is born.

It's even possible that they might not be born at all.

The cultivation practices of recent times have made the fate of individuals and the human race too intertwined. Therefore, even if one becomes slightly stronger, every action will affect the fate of the human race.

This retribution will then fall on the individual.

The future of the Sheep generation is a good example.

If even the subordinate races of the human race are like this, what about the stupid human race?

Not everyone can be like Zhao Xuan, who can freely transform various spiritual energies.

In the near-ancient era, the method for practitioners to select the appropriate spiritual energy from among thousands of spiritual energies was through the enlightenment of sages.

In fact, it was by taking advantage of the fortune of sages.

All spiritual practices involve the concepts of wealth, companions, Dharma, and spiritual ground.

Your laws were bestowed upon you by your ancestors, your wealth was accumulated for you by your forefathers, your companions will surely be of the same kind, and your land will also be the territory of the human race.

Therefore, everything about you bears the deep imprint of the human race.

Especially after reaching the Holy Realm.

How can you accurately extract the principles and laws of the demon you are cultivating, and perfect your own Nine Dragons?

What is the power of the Imperial Realm to transform principles and laws into spiritual essence and then into living beings?

How can an Emperor Realm cultivator divide their spirit into hundreds of thousands without abandoning their own body?

To put it bluntly, it's all about the power of renewed fortune.

The human race's fortune is like a bank, where the fortune of all human beings gathers.

From the moment you begin your spiritual practice, you are essentially borrowing money from the bank to do business. When your business grows, you will need to repay the bank.

Of course, the money you repay includes not only the principal but also the interest.

That's how banks have grown and expanded.

After resolving the matter in the East China Sea, Zhao Xuan made another trip to the Western Wilderness.

The "荒" in "西荒" means wilderness, not desolation.

The climate in the Western Wilderness is a hundred times harsher than that in the Central Plains, making it extremely difficult for those without cultivation to survive.

It consists of three major landforms: desert, marshland, and grassland.

Beneath the desert lurks countless demonic beasts, primarily reptiles; in the desolate swamps, aquatic and amphibious creatures dominate; and on the grasslands, flying insects reign supreme. These creatures are adept at concealment and ambush, and many are highly venomous. Even those with a higher cultivation level can suffer severe injuries if they are not careful.

The Western Wilderness can be described as a world of assassins.

Only those Buddhist and Taoist practitioners who cultivate their faith to achieve a golden body and possess a strong physical body can survive.

The two paths of immortality uphold righteousness and ward off evil.

The Taoist path upholds righteousness, while the Buddhist path wards off evil.

The path to immortality involves cultivating a single breath, perfecting that breath to its ultimate form.

Buddhism and Taoism cultivate a golden body, using the power of faith to strengthen every inch of flesh and blood, achieving a golden body that is indestructible, immortal, indestructible, and unharmed.

With the aid of Vajra intention, Prajna wisdom, and Bodhicitta, immeasurable supernatural powers arise.

The difference between the two paths of immortals and Buddhas and the nine realms of cultivation is that the nine realms of cultivation require the simultaneous development of essence, energy, and spirit, while the immortal path focuses on energy and the Buddhist path focuses on essence.

Unlike the nine ancient paths, although the Immortal Path and the Buddhist Path focus on Qi and Jing respectively, they also understand the principle of moderation and will not completely abandon the cultivation of the other two elements.

Even in terms of spiritual essence, both of them are highly accomplished.

However, divine essence may serve to communicate with the Heavenly Dao in other worlds, using the Heavenly Dao to suppress the Human Dao.

However, in this world, humanity and the way of heaven go hand in hand, and humanity is even slightly superior, so the role of divine essence is not so obvious.

In the Western Wilderness, Buddhist temples exist in the form of 108,000 temples. Large temple complexes may have 10,000 people, while the smallest temples may have only one or two people.

Youlanda Monastery is the ancestral home of Buddhism and Taoism, and it harmonizes the relationships among various monasteries.

They transformed demonic beasts in the Western Wilderness into protectors or tools to provide faith, using methods far more drastic than those of the Central Plains.

However, the Buddhist court had little interest in the Central Plains. After all, the faith of the human race was used by the emperors, and the Buddhist court could not utilize as much faith power as it could convert demonic beasts.

The Buddhist court favors converting the insect race because most insect races are led by an insect queen. Converting the insect queen is equivalent to converting an entire race. Moreover, the insect queen reproduces extremely quickly, and the offspring insects have almost no individual self, which can continuously provide pure faith power.

Secondly, there is the Holy Clan. The Holy Clan possesses extraordinary talent and cultivates rapidly, making them suitable as guardian deities.

Besides preventing the Buddhist court from entering the mortal world, another reason for Hua Jun and his companions was that after entering the starry sky, the best way to avoid being dependent on other forces was to subdue and cultivate a Zerg race.
