My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

According to Zhao Xuan's original plan, he did not want to come to collect power so early.

trouble.

At his current level, it would take him decades to prepare or fight against a power he wants to subdue.

Once Zhao Xuan's cultivation level is high enough, he might be able to obtain it with a wave of his hand.

But Zhao Xuan didn't have time to wait until then; the world had already begun to descend into chaos.

However, the majority of people in the world are ordinary people, and the so-called ordinary people do not simply refer to those who have no cultivation.

The dividing line between the mundane and the extraordinary is immortality.

Each stage of the first, second, and third realms adds sixty years to one's lifespan. The first realm grants a lifespan of six hundred years upon completion, the second realm grants a lifespan of one thousand two hundred years upon completion, and the third realm grants a lifespan of one thousand eight hundred years upon completion.

However, starting from the fourth realm, although cultivators are limited to a lifespan of 2,600 years, the fourth realm of the Divine Realm, with its nine realms and eighty-one grades, can replenish their Three Treasures with the power of faith.

This can replenish the lifespan that has been lost.

Although it may seem that one has a lifespan of only 2,600 years, one can actually achieve immortality through the power of faith.

However, this kind of immortality is not stable because it depends on the power of faith.

Once the body of faith is destroyed, it can no longer absorb the power of faith.

Upon reaching the fourth realm of the Nine Realms of Immortality, the Human Immortal Realm, one can achieve harmony with the primordial energy cultivated through practice. As long as this primordial energy remains, one can attain immortality.

When one reaches the fourth realm of the Buddhist and Taoist nine realms, the Vajra realm, one's Vajra power can sever all things, including one's own connection with heaven and earth.

Having severed the connection between oneself and heaven and earth, the rate at which one's lifespan diminishes depends entirely on the strength of one's own Vajra power.

Therefore, the four realms transcended the limitations of the mortal world.

The purpose of creating chaos in the world is to unify the world.

The subject of unification of the world is the mortals; with the power of immortality, there are no more worldly limitations.

Therefore, the true subject of unification under heaven is the mortal realm.

This is why the rulers of the seven kingdoms all needed to suppress their cultivation levels.

Only the ordinary can understand the ordinary; the ordinary is the foundation of the extraordinary. Only by starting from the foundation can the human race's fortune be gathered.

Moreover, extraordinary methods are too destructive to ordinary people.

If an extraordinary being were to fight against a mortal, it would cause a large number of deaths and injuries among mortals.

On the contrary, it would harm the fortune of the human race.

It's still in the early stages. Those at the Divine Realm and Saint Realm can still participate in battles. In the middle stages, the three major powers of the Imperial Court will prohibit all cultivators above the Divine Realm from entering the mortal world.

Even in the later stages, cultivators at the Divine Realm and above were banished to the starry sky.

The overall trend of the world is based on accumulation, and at a certain stage, it will show the momentum of a landslide.

The current situation is still in the early stages of turmoil because Zhao Xuan controls the situation in Han Kingdom.

However, the greater the momentum built up in the early stages, the more intense the situation becomes later, and the shorter its duration.

The current situation in Han has dragged Chu into a quagmire, almost exhausting Chu's war potential.

During wartime, soldiers are consumed three times more than during training.

One million Chu troops invaded Han, consuming massive amounts of grain every day.

The million soldiers of Chu were tied up in Han by the Zhao army, unable to win or retreat.

Nearly a century has passed, and the Chu state can no longer supply its army with the grain it produces each year, and even its grain reserves from previous years are almost depleted.

This forces the State of Chu to attack the State of Qi, fighting on two fronts to plunder Qi's resources to support the Chu army trapped in the State of Han.

With the chaos in Qi, the situation in Qin stabilized.

Naturally, it was also possible to send troops into the Han Kingdom.

When the situation among the seven kingdoms is stable, they can still exchange resources.

For example, the main resource produced by the State of Zhao was grain.

The main resources of Han Kingdom are exquisite ritual objects.

The main resources of the Chu state were various Mohist tools and medicinal cuisine.

The main resources of the State of Qi were rare and precious natural materials.

The main resources of the Qin state were elixirs refined by the Yin-Yang school of sorcerers.

The main resources of the Yan state were various mineral deposits.

The main resource of the Wei Kingdom was the breeding of monsters.

However, once war breaks out, trade between the seven kingdoms ceases, and the role of basic industries becomes apparent.

Firstly, South Korea's agricultural and industrial base was very weak, and it was simply impossible for it to support itself if trade with Zhao and Chu was cut off.

Originally, the four states of Han, Qi, Yan, and Wei were allied states and would support each other in the event of war.

However, this war in Han was ordered by the royal court, and the three states of Qi, Yan, and Wei dared not openly support Han.

This created a loophole in the four-nation alliance, significantly reducing its war potential.

Fantasy civilizations naturally have methods for storing various substances.

However, once resources are transformed into national heritage, they become inextricably linked to the nation's destiny.

It requires national funds to maintain every year.

Therefore, most countries do not stockpile large quantities of supplies. This is why Zhao Mingcheng wanted to attack South Korea after receiving the news, but had to carefully consider the matter due to the shortage of supplies.

The reason why the Qin state always emerged victorious in the history of emperors was largely because, although the mainstream ideologies of the Qin state were Legalism and Yin-Yang, it also attached great importance to the Mohist school of thought.

The various tools and equipment of the Mohists enabled the Qin state to clear land and cultivate crops more quickly, allowing it to grow stronger with each battle.

The other countries grew weaker with each battle.

Even in the state of Zhao, agriculture relied more heavily on manual labor.

When the war began, the country was in turmoil, and farmers were unable to cultivate the land properly.

This is why the Qin state was always the ultimate victor in the history of emperors.

Because trade between the seven nations would cease first after the war broke out.

Every country will experience shortages of food, weapons, armor, mounts, and elixirs.

The Qin state supported the Mohists, whose various instruments could be converted into production tools when necessary.

Of course, due to limitations in civilization levels, and with no emperor emerging throughout history, royal families in various countries still adopted a policy of keeping the people ignorant.

Only in wars of national annihilation will the royal family loosen its grip on the people's intellect.

The mechanical arts and various concepts of the Mohists can be considered the origins of technology.

Once the public becomes more aware, a technological explosion can easily occur.

One advantage of technology over fantasy civilization is that it can be used even by people without any cultivation.

This resulted in the other six states becoming weaker with each battle, while Qin became stronger.

Ultimately, the Qin state emerged as the victor.

But no matter how advanced technology became during the war, once the war ended and the Qin state was victorious, various schools of thought began to contend with each other again in the Qin state.

However, this often leads to the dominance of Confucianism, while the advanced aspects of other schools of thought developed during wartime are erased.

This explains why Zhao Xuan's strategy, after the war had just begun, was to let Qin enter the fray early on and then destroy Qin first.

In fact, apart from Qin, the six states that were able to hold power over the Central Plains for ten thousand years all had unique policies.

For example, in the seemingly weak Han Kingdom, cultivators are treated very well.

This is why, even after the kingdom was destroyed, the remaining cultivators of Han Kingdom always remembered the glory of Han Kingdom.

He frequently contacted the surviving families of the six kingdoms, hoping to restore their nations.

After the six states were merged by the Qin state, the fourteen schools of thought also merged with each other.

The Confucian school incorporated the debates of the School of Names, the "Will of Heaven" of the Mohist school, and the family rites of burial into its own doctrines.

It wasn't that Zhao Xuan had any prejudice against Confucianism, but rather that now, both Buddhism and Taoism had produced cultivators at the eighth level, equivalent to the Human Emperor realm.

The majority of the fortunes of Buddhism and Taoism have gone to the Taoist and Buddhist masters, making it difficult for practitioners of these two schools of thought to achieve great success.

Although no great cultivator of the eighth realm appeared in Confucianism, a Confucian master did emerge, and the fortune of Confucianism flowed to the Confucian master.

As a result, it is difficult for practitioners of Confucianism to achieve great success.

It's not that the other schools of thought didn't produce great practitioners, but rather that these great practitioners didn't gather the collective fortune of their respective schools.

The military strategist, the legalist, the Mohist, and so on, were all great cultivators at the seventh realm.

They are all capable of bearing the destiny of their respective doctrines.

The fortune of a family or a country is immense.

Not everyone can handle it.

There is a saying among humans: "If one's virtue does not match one's position, disaster will surely follow."

Therefore, after becoming emperors, emperors of various countries would be suppressed by the fate of the nation and reduced to ordinary people.

In reality, the emperors of various countries are not worthy of bearing so much of the human race's fortune, and therefore can only reign for sixty years.

Zhao Mingcheng was able to become an emperor for sixty years because he practiced the cultivation method created by the ancient emperors and endured countless sufferings.

His lifespan can withstand the suppression of the nation's fate.

The Emperor Realm of the Heavenly Court can not only bear the fortune of a nation, but the Human Emperor Realm can even include the related fortune.

Just like the human civilization, which was unified more than ten times during each imperial reign, that is, the unification of several dynasties from the Xia to the Qing.

But apart from the first unification by a single dynasty, which created a human emperor, the subsequent dozen or so unifications were merely changes in civilization.

This is because in the second unification of the same civilization, the fortunes mostly went to the creators of the first civilization.

In terms of a doctrine, the founder is equivalent to the first creator of civilization.

The creators of these doctrines had absolute control over their fate.

Unless the creator of the doctrine perishes, or the creator of the doctrine abandons the destiny of the doctrine.

Of course, if the content of a doctrine is enriched based on the original doctrine, the same doctrine will have a second or third patriarch.

But human civilization is constantly restarting, and most of the fortune goes to the emperors.

A single doctrine occupies only a very small part of a civilization, and can only support a limited number of great practitioners.

However, the momentum of a school of thought can be accumulated continuously.

The connection between Buddhism and Taoism stems from the emergence of two True Emperors, the Buddha and the Taoist Master, who were both at the True Emperor level. This connection between their doctrines and these two True Emperors is so profound.

Even with the emergence of the Second and Third Patriarchs, who possessed rich teachings, they could not replicate the miracles of the Buddha and the Dao because their realm of understanding was far inferior to that of the Buddha and the Daoist Master, and their own rich teachings were too far removed from those of the two masters.

Confucianism, through its emphasis on ritual, deepens the connection between destiny and ancestors.

Ultimately, the fortunes of Confucianism largely returned to its founder.

The situation of the military strategists, Mohists, and agriculturalists is different from that of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. The creators of these strategists did not attribute destiny to themselves.

Therefore, it is easy for them to be suppressed by Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

However, the fortune of these doctrines is constantly accumulating, and once a person who can bear this fortune appears, he can be sent to the Human Emperor Realm.

This is why it is said that it is difficult for great practitioners of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism to emerge.

It is evident that all forms of cultivation place a great demand on the human race's fortune.

Humanity split into two factions: one fought in the stars, and the other on Earth.

Clearly, the human race, which has fought in the stars, has paid a greater price and deserves the blessing of human fortune.

However, when a war of unification occurs on Earth, beings like Zhao Xuan, who are almost invincible on Earth, will make great contributions in the war of unification and will receive a lot of human fortune.

Human powerful beings would not leave such a huge loophole. If they did, countless gods and saints would try to stay on Earth and wait for an opportunity, or find a way to break the balance of power among the human race on Earth.

This plunged humanity into endless war.

Therefore, once the war for the unification of the human race begins, the Imperial Court will issue an order for the Divine Realm and the Holy Realm to leave Earth.

Of course, Zhao Xuan could also stay on Earth.

After all, the war for unification can be a long process.

However, in that case, there is a 99% chance that the Qin state will still be the victor.

If Zhao Xuan wants the Zhao state to win, he must use tactics.

If the Zhao Kingdom wins, even if Zhao Xuan leaves Earth.

But Zhao's victory was equivalent to a victory for both the agricultural and military schools.

The fortunes of farmers and soldiers will greatly increase.

Zhao Xuan is a cultivator of the agricultural school, while Zhao Xuancheng is a cultivator of the military school.

The fortune accumulated by farmers and military strategists over hundreds of thousands of years will be passed on to these two individuals.

Even if the fortunes of the two families do not fully recognize the two, it will still allow them tens of thousands of years of cultivation time.

Zhao Xuan was still somewhat unaccustomed to the slow, tortoise-like cultivation speed of the Saint Realm.

Before reaching the Saint Realm, the blessing of Emperor Zhao's sixty years of fortune made their cultivation before reaching the Saint Realm seem divinely aided.

In just a few hundred years, two immeasurable holy bodies were created.

Of course, their success cannot be entirely attributed to the blessing of the sixty-year fortune of the Zhao Dynasty. After all, in the ten thousand years of the Zhao Dynasty, hundreds of people have received the blessing of the sixty-year fortune, but in the end, only two people have achieved the immeasurable holy body.

Clearly, Zhao Xuan's own supernatural abilities played a decisive role in this.

But that smooth-sailing, disaster-free cultivation atmosphere was just too much to Zhao Xuan's liking.

It's worth noting that Zhao Xuan was practically a homebody in his previous life.

If it weren't for the need to make a living, Zhao Xuan could stay at home for months on end and wouldn't even leave the village for years.

The joy of experiencing daily spiritual practice is far greater than staying at home watching your phone or playing games.

In the end, it seems that Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xuancheng did not participate in the final war of unification and would not receive much blessing from the fortune of unification.

But the very fortune of the doctrine itself can make everyone rich.

This is why Zhao Mingcheng and his son have such high regard for Zhao Xuan.

With the same goal, but different ultimate interests, without conflicting interests, we can work together towards a unified objective.

While enduring the attraction of the blazing fire, Zhao Xuan was simultaneously analyzing information about the war coming from the Central Plains.

In some ways, the relationship between Sheman and Zhao Xuan is closer, as Sheman's original intention was to be Zhao Xuan's protector.

However, after Zhao Xuan decided to take the path of the omniscient and omnipotent mythical Great Luo, his cultivation was no longer limited by ordinary cultivators.
