My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Every misunderstanding, every hurt, every regret can turn into an abyss that makes you want to give up.

It was as if a wicked dragon had entered Zhao Xuan's heart, causing chaos and turmoil within it, determined to utterly destroy it.

But as the evil dragon churned and surged within Zhao Xuan's heart, the endless lake water was swept out of his heart by the evil dragon.

But unexpectedly, after the raging dragon completely swept the lake water out of the heart lake...

But a more powerful evil dragon emerged from the depths of the lake of the heart.

The evil dragon formed from the power of loneliness is as laughable as an earthworm compared to the evil dragon existing at the bottom of the lake of the heart.

That was the deepest loneliness hidden in Zhao Xuan's heart, the loneliness that he found it difficult to tell anyone about his transmigrated identity.

He was not the son of his parents in this life, yet he received their deepest love.

They received such deep love, yet he was actually the murderer of their son.

That was Zhao Xuan's most unspeakable secret, and a guilt he could never reveal to anyone.

Zhao Xuan's entire state of mind was dedicated to suppressing the evil dragon that this guilt had transformed into.

When the evil dragon in the depths of Zhao Xuan's heart appeared.

Within the Purple Palace, the azure dragon that had spoken to the Three Treasures let out a painful roar, twisting in the clouds like a tattered rope, before falling from the clouds into the ground of the Purple Palace, formed from the lotus leaves of the legendary blue lotus.

The lotus leaves of the Primordial Lotus began to emit a warm, jade-like light, enveloping the Azure Dragon.

As the azure dragon twisted and roared, it began to split from the top of its head. The wounds that split healed under the light. With two final roars, the azure dragon was forcibly split in two, and then, under the light, it became two azure dragons.

Just then, a blue dragon transformed into human form, and the person's appearance was only about 70% similar to Zhao Xuan's.

However, his eyes lacked any heroic spirit; instead, they gave off a lazy feeling.

"Hello." A slightly frivolous voice, tinged with a hint of teasing and a touch of languor, addressed the azure dragon in the sky.

"Roar..." A dragon's roar rang out, and its huge eyes stared at Zhao Xuan, its red pupils radiating endless fury.

"Oh, I forgot you can't change." The flippant voice rang out again.

The man blew out a cloud of mist, which enveloped the azure dragon for a moment, after which the dragon transformed into human form.

The humanoid figure bore many similarities in appearance to the first person to appear, particularly in the eyebrows.

But his eyes were full of heroic spirit, giving people a very resolute feeling.

"Who are you? What happened?" the man with the heroic air in his eyes asked in a puzzled tone, his voice very refined.

"I am you, and yet I am not you. I am someone who should not have come into this world, and you are someone who should not have stayed in this world."

But I came into this world because of you, and you stayed in this world because of me. The flippant voice turned languid.

He spoke slowly and deliberately.

"What are you saying?" a refined voice rang out.

"You should see for yourself." A lazy voice rang out, and a beam of light appeared from his hand, flying toward another figure.

After a long while, the man with the heroic spirit in his eyes opened them, his voice dry and weak: "Am I dead?"

"That depends on how you define life and death," the languid voice said.

Another beam of light shot out from the finger, heading towards another person.

After a long while, the man said, "So that's how it is. You woke me up to refine my avatar, right? I agree."

"Uh..." The owner of the lazy voice was somewhat surprised.

"Your meeting is different from what I imagined," the owner of the languid voice said after a moment of surprise.

Is it because your mind is in turmoil, making it difficult for you to accept unexpected changes?

Doesn't this kind of thing always happen to you? Doesn't the world always deviate from your expectations?

So it's not a big deal. Being able to accept the changes of the world, acknowledge one's weaknesses, and accept one's insignificance—that's the true meaning of life. The spirited voice rang out, devoid of its previous helplessness.

After speaking, the owner of the voice waved his hand, and a crack appeared in his Purple Mansion. The scene inside the crack was the battle between the two dragons on Zhao Xuan's Heart Lake.

It's not quite accurate to call it a battle between two dragons; it was more like the enormous evil dragon unilaterally crushing the smaller one.

Upon seeing another creature intrude, the great dragon stopped tormenting the little dragon and swallowed it whole, like eating a spicy snack.

The two men looked at each other, their eyes revealing an unspeakable deep affection.

“Everything is preordained. The causes of the past have led to the consequences of today’s actions. I forgive you,” said a spirited voice.

A mournful dragon roar rang out, and two tears slid down the dragon's eyes. The dragon transformed into human form, resembling an eight or nine-year-old child.

His brows and figure bore a striking resemblance, but his voice was exactly like that of the person who spoke the languid voice.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. People are often troubled by things they cannot obtain in their youth, and they can also find the answers to their lifelong questions through a single event or object." The child, transformed from the evil dragon, and the heroic figure bowed.

With each word he spoke, his body grew a little taller, and by the time he finished speaking, he had become a middle-aged man who looked to be forty years old.

The owner of the languid voice also appeared on the lake of the heart, reciting: "If I become the Green Emperor in the future, I will make the peach blossoms bloom in one place." However, there was always a hint of teasing in that voice.

"Was I this immature before the New Year?" The middle-aged man's slightly disdainful voice rang out, and then he looked at the handsome young man.

The dashing young man was slightly taken aback and looked at the owner of the lazy voice.

The three then looked at each other and burst into cheerful laughter.

Amidst laughter, the figures of the spirited young man and the middle-aged man gradually disintegrated, and two beams of light flew toward the owner of the languid voice.

Zhao Xuan's heart lake was rebuilt in the spiritual light generated after the collapse of the two, and endless lake water reappeared in the heart lake.

A few flying fish occasionally leap out of the shimmering lake surface, making it look even more tranquil and harmonious. In the middle of the lake, there is also an island.

The island is ablaze with vibrant flowers, and teeming with birds.

The island in the middle of the lake and the lake surface complement each other, creating a stunning landscape painting.

The owner of the languid voice transformed into a streak of light, left the Heart Lake, returned to the Purple Mansion, and once again transformed into a blue dragon.

Just like before, only the mysterious gate on the Azure Dragon's body looked even more profound.

Meanwhile, another golden flower silently appeared in Zhao Xuan's Purple Mansion, which was the seed of the power of emptiness.

In the desolate land, Zhao Xuan opened his tearful eyes. The tears evaporated instantly, and two beams of light shot out from his pupils, heading towards the southern barbarian lands.

Before long, a sigh echoed across the southern lands, and a fusion of forces sent Zhao Xuan out of the desolate place.

Those who can subdue the power of emptiness are all heartbroken people; the most heartbroken people in the world are those who experience separation.

Only the reluctance to part can free people from the endless loneliness of emptiness.

What you keep in mind will eventually come to pass.

After obtaining the power of emptiness, Zhao Xuan did not return. Instead, he found a safe place to set up an array and began to go into seclusion to sort out his gains.

First, there is naturally a seed of emptiness power. We don't need to worry about that. Once the Azure Dragon has calmed down, it will naturally help the emptiness power improve, just like it helped the power of destruction. Incidentally, the power of burning stars will also be boosted.

Then, the power of the Breath of Earth, the power of Illusion and Reality, the power of Destruction, the power of Burning Star, and the power of Emptiness will construct a new Five Elements system, collectively boosting the system.

That's secondary; what's important is that Zhao Xuan grasped a trace of the Great Dao's secrets.

Since time immemorial, cultivators have known that all living beings are a triune entity.

Essence, Qi, and Spirit are the three elements that together constitute a living being.

But the truth is that practitioners have discovered that divine essence is merely a higher-dimensional projection of spirituality. It is projected from a higher dimension by spirituality in the form of a soul.

However, the physical body is not controlled by the cultivator.

Therefore, cultivators who cultivate through creation can create all sorts of things, even living beings, but the living beings they create are merely shells, without any self-awareness, and cannot be considered true living beings.

Therefore, human cultivators created the element of mental state as a cultivation practice, and also created the "Heart Lake" as a phenomenon that reflects changes in mental state.

Once the Heart Lake is created, it will automatically reside in a mysterious place.

Human cultivators believe that it is the place where the spirits of living beings reside.

Practitioners call it the Land of Returning to Emptiness, which is the same "Returning to Emptiness" mentioned in the Daoist Master's "Quest for the Dao," where the Daoist Master uses the words of the Great Dao to explain the mysteries of cultivation: refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to unite with the Dao.

The Daoist Master believes that humans, or rather all living beings, have limits to what they can bear, while the entire universe has no limits. Therefore, the essence, energy, and spirit of living beings can be entrusted to the universe.

However, if something merely exists within the universe, what difference is there between it and something unclaimed? It's nothing more than something that can be robbed by anyone.

Since that's the case, store it in the safest place, which is where the Great Dao resides, also known as the Land of Returning to Emptiness.

The Dao Master believes that the Great Dao is absolutely just, selfless, and benevolent. However, the Great Dao is too high a level for cultivators to perceive.

The existence of the Great Dao can only be perceived through the traces of its operation.

The same applies to the primordial spirituality of all living beings; it coexists with the Great Dao in the Realm of Return to Emptiness, existing in the form of a true spirit.

The true spirit is indestructible, but matter can decay and energy can dissipate. All living beings are merely a projection of the true spirit's power, simply forging a body for themselves to rely on.

Another concept called transcendence was proposed, stating that the true spirit is a being that has reached a state of half-transcendence, and that the purpose of all cultivation is to transcend the Great Dao.

Therefore, a crucial stage in spiritual practice is finding one's true spirit and establishing a connection with it.

This very step bound many emperors.

The reason why most of those who attained the title of Human Emperor were stuck in the pseudo-realm and could not step into the true Human Emperor realm was because they had not established a connection with their true spirit.

To put it bluntly, these emperors were probably too great; their lifelong cultivation might not have been for themselves, but for the sake of humanity.

If one does not cultivate for oneself, one will naturally not gain the approval of the true spirit, and will be abandoned by the true spirit, becoming a rootless duckweed, with no chance of breakthrough.

This leads to his own ideas of ruthlessness and non-action.

A leaf can block out Mount Tai.

Many people believe that it was a false proposition put forward by the Daoist master in order to promote his own doctrines and ideas, and they do not want to acknowledge its existence.

Zhao Xuan still retains the scientific dialectics he learned in his previous life; he neither blindly approves of nor blindly opposes anything.

Instead, we use evidence to prove it.

Therefore, I have never given up on cultivating my mindset.

This time, I finally used the power of emptiness to enter a state of selflessness.

Ultimately, it inadvertently aroused the true spirit, causing it to manifest briefly.

I am a time traveler whose soul has traveled through time. If the soul is a projection of a trace of the true spirit's power, then it means that a trace of my true spirit's power from the previous world has traveled through time and space to come to the new world.

Regardless of whether the two worlds are connected, or whether the person from the previous world and Zhao Xuan from this world are two individuals projected from the same true spirit.

Either his own wisp of true spirit power from the previous world was trapped within the entire world, or his wisp of true spirit power from the previous world merged with Zhao Xuan's true spirit power in this world.

In other words, he gained a trace of independent true spiritual power.

This provides the necessary conditions for verifying the existence of the true spirit at a lower level.

This time, I used the power of emptiness to awaken my true spirit.

As he had expected, his current existence was the result of the interaction between the two true spiritual forces.

In other words, Zhao Xuan's true spirit may not have been unaware that his life had been replaced; it's just that this sudden, low-probability event might have brought Zhao Xuan's true spirit a new perspective on transcendence.

Therefore, they acknowledged their own existence and believed that they had perfectly integrated into this world.

In the moment of crisis, the Azure Dragon split in two, which became its own true spirit from the previous world and Zhao Xuan's true spirit.

They had indeed merged.

However, the self from the previous world only possessed a trace of true spiritual power, so it was not perfect.

That was due to his own energy in his previous life. In his previous life, his parents passed away when he was young, and he grew up in the care of relatives.

Although his relatives treated him like their own children, he also called them his parents.

But deep down, I still long for my parents' love.

So after transmigrating, he calmly enjoyed the affection of his parents, but dared not get too close.

It's because I'm afraid of hurting these parents and never being able to enjoy this kind of family affection again.

But the boundless guilt, like a monstrous dragon, along with the guilt he felt towards his stepfather, stepmother, stepbrother, and stepsisters from his previous life, and even towards his biological parents, was deeply buried in the depths of his soul.

The languid figure was his own spirit from the previous world, the heroic youth was Zhao Xuan's spirit, and the evil dragon was the loophole in his own mind.

If you let the evil dragon run rampant, you will be killed by the accumulated guilt.

Unlike Zhao Xuan in this world, his death was merely a failure of his true spirit's cultivation this time.

For the person from the previous world, without the soul of this life as a support, there was no place for them to stand.
