My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

From a light drizzle to a torrential downpour, it rained for a full three hours before the rain clouds finally dispersed.

At this moment, the nearly 100-mile-long desert transformed into a lush green oasis.

Zhao Xuan knew this was only temporary. Compared to the vast desert, a grassland of a hundred miles was meaningless. Perhaps a strong wind would turn it back into a desert.

With the help of the formation, Zhao Xuan waved his hands lightly, and seven sand dunes rose from the ground, surrounding the oasis and protecting it from the sandstorm.

At the same time, the seven sand dunes form a feng shui deadly place, gathering gusts of evil winds and poisonous miasma.

Once the number of seeds gathered reached a certain level, Zhao Xuan dropped two seeds into the lake and grassland of the oasis before dispersing the formation and letting the feng shui formation operate on its own.

Change is a phenomenon of nature.

Zhao Xuan knew that no matter how he arranged the oasis, something would happen.

But that was all Zhao Xuan could do.

The insectoid race committed a crime against the Western Wilderness, causing the vegetation to wither and the creatures to become destitute. Over thousands of years, only a handful of creatures have survived.

Killing is not a sin; the law of the jungle is simply a natural selection.

However, the Zerg's slaughter should not disrupt the harmonious cycle of life and death.

To put it bluntly, the overpopulation of the Zerg has affected the racial diversity of the Western Wilderness.

Finding a way to improve the racial diversity of the Western Wilderness would be equivalent to contributing to the Western Wilderness.

All things have a spirit, heaven and earth have a spirit, and the Western Wilderness also has its own spirit. When you have done something good for the Western Wilderness, you will naturally gain the recognition of its spirit.

The way the Buddhist court gained the approval of the spirits of the Western Wilderness is to eliminate the Zerg, control their numbers, prevent them from multiplying, and integrate itself into the food chain.

But this process will inevitably take a lot of time.

However, the Zerg rely on the Zerg Queen. Defeating one Zerg Queen is equivalent to defeating countless Zerg. This is Zhao Xuan's method.

However, despite successfully attracting the queen insect, they were unable to completely capture her.

Zhao Xuan then chose another approach.

We will carry out afforestation in the western wilderness.

They possess all sorts of supernatural powers, making it easy to create an oasis in the desert, or even turn a desert into a forest.

But one problem is how long the oasis and forest you create can last.

In fact, if the Zerg population doesn't decrease, the oases and forests you create will only become food for the Zerg, accelerating their secondary reproduction and allowing the Zerg population to grow stronger again.

Instead, by using his supernatural powers to propagate plants, he once again damaged the vitality of the Western Wilderness.

This is why Buddhist temples do not use this method.

This time, Zhao Xuan's intervention eliminated this problem.

The power he used to stimulate life was taken from the blood mist bodies left behind by the Insect Mother and the five Insect Kings.

It can be considered as something taken from the Western Wilderness and used in the Western Wilderness.

As for the issue of the oasis's destruction, Zhao Xuan also made some arrangements.

The seven feng shui formations gather the wind energy, and the weak individual insectoids will be isolated from the oasis by the wind energy.

Even if one could enter the oasis, one could only stay there briefly, because the oasis was filled with poisonous miasma.

This means that oases will not become habitats for any race, but rather temporary shelters and supply depots for other races in the desert.

It may not be a great act of merit, but it will have a lasting impact.

Once Zhao Xuan removed the formation, the layout of the oasis was revealed between heaven and earth.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Zhao Xuan felt a sense of ease, knowing that he had gained the approval of the Western Wilderness.

The Western Wilderness granted him some access, allowing him to absorb its energy for cultivation.

Then, naturally, a spiritual energy appeared in Zhao Xuan's Purple Mansion, containing a trace of the power to destroy all things.

Zhao Xuan was once again amazed by the power of the Limitless Divine Power.

The power of destruction is a high-level form of the Golden Spirit Qi, and logically it is the Golden Spirit Qi.

After it appeared, it should have incorporated the power of the Golden Spirit, and then the power of the Golden Spirit underwent another change.

The power of annihilation should be the same.

But in the instant the flowers bloom, they all transform into a single flower.

This is equivalent to them becoming self-contained entities.

The advantage is that there is no need for a transformation process; Zhao Xuan can directly use the advanced form of spiritual energy.

Just as steel can be used to forge tools, the power within a cultivator's body is like steel.

When a practitioner needs to use weapons, they transform their power into various tools to cope with the situation.

But Zhao Xuan simply stores all sorts of tools, and can just take them out when needed.

This means that he can cast spells faster than other practitioners.

The Void Insect Mother and the Six Desires Goddess suffered because of this.

They also had to adapt to the changed spiritual energy, so Zhao Xuan directly transformed the spiritual energy into one that was difficult for the two of them to use.

Even with new power, one must not forget the green bamboo staff.

Zhao Xuan channeled a wisp of destructive energy into the green bamboo staff.

Within each section of the green bamboo staff, the spiritual energy shifts towards the direction of destruction.

After hundreds of years of cultivation, Zhao Xuan has become increasingly adept at nurturing the Green Bamboo Staff.

The bamboo staff has twenty-four sections and was originally used to store the power of the twenty-four solar terms.

Later, Zhao Xuan directly comprehended the Qi of the four seasons, which is equivalent to the unification of the power of the twenty-four solar terms.

The twenty-four sections of the green bamboo staff were used to store and transform advanced power.

The benefit is that the green bamboo staff is constantly nourished by high-level power, becoming increasingly mysterious.

When hardened, it can withstand the bladed legs of the Mantis King, a creature highly skilled in killing among the Zerg of the Holy Realm.

It can also transform into various shapes at will, bearing various powers. Its size and shape can be changed at will.

The changes in the green bamboo staff allowed Zhao Xuan to confirm a mystery of cultivation.

This refers to the ultimate theory of the Nine Ancient Industries.

However, this theory still needs further verification.

Retracting the Green Bamboo Staff and letting it absorb spiritual energy to recover on its own, Zhao Xuan sensed the Azure Dragon's condition.

According to Azure Dragon's feedback, everything is normal.

They then began to head towards Beichuan.

The five directions of the earth nurture the supreme power of the five elements and the five paths.

The Central Plains is the highest spiritual power of life within the Earth element, the power of the Breath of Soil.

The East Sea is the highest spiritual power of illusion and reality in the realm of water.

The Western Wilderness is the ultimate spiritual power of destruction within the Metal element.

Kitagawa, on the other hand, nurtures the supreme spiritual power of death within the fire element—the power of burning stars.

The land of Beichuan is even more desolate than the land of Xihuang. After all, the land of Xichuan is still inhabited by the insect race, as well as some other races.

However, there are no living creatures in the conventional sense in Beichuan.

The land of Beichuan is inhabited by all sorts of spirits, or what might be called primordial gods.

The common characteristic of these elves is that they do not have flesh and blood; their bodies are directly formed from some kind of spiritual energy.

If the desolation of the Western Wilderness was due to the insectoid race, then the desolation of the Northern River Land was due to the power of the Burning Star itself.

The power of the Burning Star is fire-based, yet it exists in a glacial environment, which is inherently illogical.

Unless this glacier was formed by the power of the scorching star.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The power of the Burning Star is the ultimate life force. It absorbs all the life energy of Beichuan into its own body. While the changes in the Fire Element usually release light and heat, the power of the Burning Star is different; it absorbs all light and heat.

This means that although the power of burning stars has an extremely high temperature that can incinerate stars, there is no light or heat around it.

Fortunately, due to the limitations imposed by the Qi of Beichuan, the level of the Burning Star Fire is not high. Every year, it will disintegrate due to absorbing too much light and heat.

After disintegration, light and heat escaped, releasing a large amount of energy.

If this energy were released without restraint, it could turn an entire glacier into a vast ocean.

However, the Seven Stars Divination Formation of Earth is slowly drawing these energies into the Central Plains, transforming it into a land of outstanding people and abundant resources.

Obtaining the power of burning stars is much more difficult than obtaining the power of destruction.

After all, although the power of destruction is domineering, it is still under the control of the spirit of the Western Wilderness.

The power of the Burning Star is uncontrollable; the spirit of the Northern River can only restrain it.

The only way to gain the approval of the power of the Burning Star is to fight against it.

Not only must we resist the absorption of the power of the burning star, but we must also resist its release.

This is no simple matter; countless people have sought the power of the burning star over hundreds of thousands of years.

The result is that the flame of life is absorbed by the power of the burning star and becomes its own fuel.

Many of the spirits wandering in Beichuan are cultivators who have lost their physical bodies and have no choice but to rely on their spiritual essence to survive.

Then, its spiritual fire was absorbed, and it became a ghost that had lost its self.

Later, it was transformed into a spirit by the spirit of Beichuan, bringing a trace of false vitality to the land of Beichuan.

Zhao Xuan wasn't afraid, or rather, the Boundless Sacred Body itself wasn't afraid of this kind of absorption.

The fact that you can be absorbed as nourishment by the power of the Burning Star indicates that you are not perfect and that your Dao body is flawed.

The Immeasurable Holy Body represents a kind of perfection in the aspect of the Holy Body.

In other words, the power of the Burning Star can absorb the life of the Boundless Holy Body, but it can only absorb the excess portion.

The bottom line that constitutes the Boundless Sacred Body cannot be touched even by the power of the Burning Star.

Zhao Xuan ignored the spirits wandering across the land of Beichuan.

The moment Zhao Xuan stepped onto the land of Beichuan, he sensed that his life force was being pulled by some mysterious force, trying to draw it out of his body.

This mysterious power is the power of burning stars.

Heaven and earth possess spirits. The spirit of Beichuan Earth controls the absorption of light and heat by the power of the Burning Star, preventing it from spreading outwards. However, once one enters the territory of Beichuan Earth, the spirit of Beichuan Earth will no longer exert control.

The significance of the spirit of Beichuan is to provide balance and restraint, not to clean up messes for others.

Zhao Xuan continued to delve deeper into the direction of the pull, and the closer he got to the center of the pulling force, the stronger the pull on his life force became.

After venturing approximately 100,000 miles deeper, Zhao Xuan felt his divine energy begin to be drawn towards him.

The further you go in, the stronger the pulling force becomes.

After all, the power of burning stars is only one of the five supreme spiritual powers of the fire element. It absorbs the fire of life and even the fire of spirituality, but it does not absorb the fire of vital energy.

Just as the power of destruction possesses endless destructive power, but does not target the soul.

From this perspective, the power of the Star-Burning Force is even less than that of the Samadhi True Fire.

After all, the Samadhi True Fire is a condensation of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit, and it can target these three treasures simultaneously.

However, this is not the case; it involves issues of scale and strength.

Scientifically speaking, combustion depends on the oxidizer, the combustible material, and the ignition point.

Oxygen is the primary oxidizer, while combustibles are substances that can react with oxygen in the air or other oxidizers to produce combustion, such as wood and paper.

The ignition point is the energy required for a combustible material to undergo a combustion reaction with an oxidizer.

The three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit are respectively combustible material, combustion accelerant, and ignition point.

Essence is like combustible material; the stronger the combustible material, the more heat it releases.

Just like how burning wood can reach around 1,500 degrees Celsius, the temperature of the thermite reaction reaches around 3,000 degrees Celsius.

Gas element is equivalent to a combustion accelerant.

Just like aluminum doesn't burn in air, but it can burn in oxygen.

Divine essence is equivalent to ignition point.

Taking aluminum as an example again, its ignition point in oxygen is 550 degrees Celsius, but after your divine power is strong, you can control the ignition point yourself.

Samadhi Fire is formed from the condensation of the Three Treasures within a practitioner's body, and its power is determined by the strength of the practitioner's Three Treasures.

The power of burning stars, or the fire of burning stars, is condensed from the divine essence and vital energy of heaven and earth.

Essence is like combustible material, determining the size of the flame itself.

Compared to the essence of heaven and earth, an individual's vital energy is like a single match versus a forest.

Once they start burning, you can tell at a glance which one is larger.

Divine essence is equivalent to ignition point, which determines the prerequisites for flame combustion.

An individual's divine essence is not even in the same league as the divine essence of heaven and earth.

The Samadhi True Fire, which relies on the cultivator's own condensation, requires the cultivator to concentrate and carefully trigger it, lest they harm themselves.

The Star-Burning Fire, which relies on the heavens and earth, can burn however it wants, and whenever it wants.

As for the issue of oxidizers.

The Samadhi Fire needs to rely on the practitioner's vital energy to ignite.

Therefore, the Star-Burning Fire, which does not rely on the energy of heaven and earth, does not need an accelerant.

Combustion conditions are actually simpler, and combustion requires less environmental impact.

Therefore, in reality, the Star-Burning Flame of the same level is more powerful than the Samadhi True Flame.

Zhao Xuan approached the center step by step. After going 200,000 miles in, Zhao Xuan had no choice but to release the Golden Flower Auspicious Cloud to protect himself.

After all, although the power of the Burning Star could not harm Zhao Xuan, Zhao Xuan had cultivated the Boundless Sacred Body for nearly a hundred years.

It wasn't entirely without gain. The extra cultivation points were no longer under the protection of the Boundless Sacred Body and were absorbed by the power of the Burning Star, making a hundred years of cultivation a waste.

It was monotonous; Zhao Xuan felt increasingly bored as he walked.

An indescribable feeling welled up in Zhao Xuan's heart, making him want to stop delving deeper.

This is not because Zhao Xuan has a problem with his state of mind.

Instead, the power of the Burning Star began to exert its influence, enticing Zhao Xuan's mind to fluctuate.

However, they clearly underestimated Zhao Xuan, who was not afraid of fluctuations in his mental state.

If we say that the mind of an ordinary person is like a lake.

The lake water was clear and the surface was calm.

Or perhaps the calm surface of the lake masks a deep and turbulent inner world, reflecting the state of mind of other practitioners.

They must maintain this state to prevent their emotions from fluctuating and causing the lake water to be swept out of the lake.

Zhao Xuan's state of mind was like a vast ocean, with its surging waves and shimmering ripples, all characteristic of the ocean.

No matter how the waves fluctuate, the amount of seawater remains the same.

This is the composure Zhao Xuan has cultivated: all changes are normal, and all changes are expected.

All damage is temporary, like water evaporated by the sun or blown away by the sea breeze. It will eventually fall to the ground, and then flow into rivers through streams, and finally into the sea.
