My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Zhao Tianxiong said, "Xiao Rong, look at that cripple, he actually managed to catch so many fish, he really got lucky."

Jin Shurong said, "Brother Tianxiong is right. It's really a case of God being blind. Let's go steal the biggest fish tonight."

Zhao Tianxiong said, "What stealing? That cripple caught so many fish he couldn't possibly eat them all. It's only right that we take some."

Zhao Tianxiong spoke with a matter-of-fact expression on his face.

Jin Shurong said the same thing, adding, "Brother Tianxiong, you're so smart."

Zhao Xuan's divine sense, which had been monitoring the entire fishing village, naturally overheard their conversation.

He nodded secretly, thinking that the time had come.

After the unification of the Zhao state, a hundred schools of thought flourished within the Great Zhao Dynasty, especially the fierce struggle among the ten schools of thought.

As for why there are ten rather than twelve, it's because the military and agricultural schools of thought benefited so much a century ago that they haven't fully digested it yet.

Taoism and Buddhism originally had the support of the Taoist and Buddhist courts, so in theory they should have developed quickly. However, the Taoist and Buddhist courts suppressed the two dragons and refused to return to their positions, delaying the establishment of the Great Zhao Dynasty by several hundred years.

Zhao Mingcheng could not do anything to the Taoist and Buddhist courts, but their influence could not penetrate the Great Zhao Dynasty. Without their support, the Taoist and Buddhist schools developed much more slowly.

However, given their exceptional background, they were able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other eight families despite the pressure from the imperial court.

In order to atone for their sins and gain the court's approval, both Taoism and Buddhism have gone mad for the past century.

They slay demons and monsters everywhere, creating a pure land.

The term "pure land" is a term used by both sides. In the context of the imperial dynasty, it means eliminating all factors that are detrimental to the reproduction of the human race and then spiritualizing the land.

In this way, humans could live there with abundant food and clothing, and there would be less fighting, hence it was called a Pure Land.

The two families handed over the sacred land they had built to the imperial court, which then sent people to manage it.

With the intervention of several other factions, more and more places in the Central Plains became suitable for human habitation.

It was no longer confined to cities; towns and villages gradually came under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhao Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhao Xuan established a small fishing village on the eastern coast.

In fact, the so-called fishing village is not suitable. All the hundred households in the fishing village, except for Zhao Tianxiong and Jin Shurong, are all clones of Zhao Xuan.

These clones, however, did not possess Zhao Xuan's consciousness. Instead, Zhao Xuan simply transferred some of his divine essence into them to maintain their thought processes.

Even the four evil energies and the five virtue energies are the same. Zhao Xuan decided to let them compete for supremacy. Even if the five virtue energies failed, it could only be said that their virtue was insufficient.

The so-called struggle between good and evil is nothing more than the struggle between the inherent goodness and inherent evil of human nature.

Zhao Xuan allowed the four evil men to raise the two for six years, thus obscuring their true nature with malice.

Then let the Five Virtues be taught through later education to see if they can cleanse away malice and awaken the inherent goodness in one's nature.

The next day, five middle-aged men dressed in various styles of clothing entered the fishing village.

A school was established in the fishing village.

Although the school was established, no one entered it. After all, the fishing village established by Zhao Xuan had difficulty communicating with the outside world, and the people's livelihood was very difficult.

As the saying goes, "bad people come from poor mountains and bad waters." Zhao Xuan wanted to increase the difficulty of moral cultivation, so that the five virtues could be truly realized.

More than three months later, a middle-aged man dressed in coarse clothes arrived at Zhao Xuan's residence.

Zhao Xuan's current role is the village chief of the fishing village, managing all affairs of the village.

The villagers in the fishing village all believed that they were independent beings and did not know that they were Zhao Xuan's clones.

The same applies to the Five Virtues Incarnations; they came here because they sensed their opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Of course, this enlightenment is not enlightenment in the conventional sense.

The path to enlightenment is the fundamental truth.

The Way of Gods, the Way of Saints, the Way of Emperors, the Way of Confucianism, the Way of Immortals, the Way of Buddha, the Way of Military Strategy...

All of these are the Dao. In the conventional sense, proving the Dao means proving oneself to the throne or reaching the peak of the human immortal realm.

However, gradually developing one's own path of cultivation and being able to sense the river of fortune is considered attaining enlightenment.

Being able to sense the river of destiny indicates that your path of cultivation is correct, and you will eventually achieve success by following this path.

Alternatively, reaching the peak of a certain memory or a certain stage can also be called enlightenment.

Although the mainstream cultivation path of the human race is the path of the human emperor, the path of immortality, and the path of Buddhism as secondary paths.

However, these are not the only three methods of cultivation.

In reality, each school has its own exclusive cultivation method, but these cultivation methods are not as advanced as the Human Emperor Path, Immortal Path, and Buddhist Path. The three paths already have a universal system and can be cultivated to the Human Emperor Realm.

The cultivation methods of other schools are difficult to learn and cannot be used universally. Moreover, there are no records of Emperor Realm cultivators breaking through to Human Emperor Realm, which puts them several levels below.

However, if one succeeds in cultivating the methods of other schools, their power is no less than that of the Three Paths.

In particular, after the three cultivation methods were popularized to spread the teachings throughout the world, many extreme cultivation methods were eliminated.

Extremes often mean power.

Other schools have not eliminated this extreme, and those at the same level are even stronger than most cultivators of the three paths.

For example, the Confucian and Taoist long river theory.

The method of locating the burial site by driving away the dragon vein.

The Yin-Yang Millstone Method of the Yin-Yang School.

The strategist's dual-sword technique.

The Mohist method of turning objects into soldiers.

These five methods are all top-notch and extremely powerful lineages.

However, getting started is too difficult. This step alone stops 90% of people. After getting started, they still have to prevent assimilation to avoid becoming puppets, which eliminates another 90% of the remaining 10%.

Only one percent of those who succeed in their spiritual practice are able to do so.

Zhao Xuan's Five Virtues Avatar did not cultivate the three paths, but instead chose to cultivate the Confucian, the Burial School, the Yin-Yang School, the School of Diplomacy, and the Mohist School respectively.

Although it has only been six years, because it is a body formed from the flesh and blood of the Tai Sui, and its own level is already at the fifth realm, its progress is very fast.

The cultivation of the Human Emperor's Path has three realms and thirty-six grades in the first four realms. Each realm consists of three grades of cultivating essence, three grades of cultivating qi, and three grades of cultivating spirit.

However, all schools of thought, including the immortals and the Buddhists, first cultivate thirty-six grades of essence and energy in order to build a physical body that can withstand powerful energy.

As the embodiment of the Five Virtues, it is itself the flesh and blood of a Saint Realm Grand Duke and possesses Saint Realm-level power, making it naturally very easy for it to cultivate the Thirty-Sixth Grade Essence.

Breaking through to the Saint Realm is difficult, as none of the cultivation methods of these various schools of thought mention the concept of an immeasurable Saint Body.

However, Confucianism needs to draw upon the righteous energy, the burial school needs to draw upon the dragon energy of the earth's veins, the Yin-Yang school needs to draw upon the pure and turbid energies, the School of Diplomacy needs to draw upon the illusory and real energies, and the Mohist school needs to draw upon the energy of all transformations.

Leaving aside the Yin-Yang School and the School of Diplomacy, the other three schools' righteous energy, earth vein energy, and myriad transformation energy are all powers of the Eighth Realm.

In other words, to enter the ranks of the three schools, one needs to refine the power of the eighth realm from the fourth realm.

They are not Zhao Xuan. Zhao Xuan has Golden Flower Spirit Transformation and Golden Flower Enlightenment. No matter what level of power it is, after Golden Flower Spirit Transformation and Golden Flower Enlightenment, and then fused with his own three treasures, he can refine any power, no matter how strong it is.

An ordinary person who can refine a material beyond a certain realm is considered a genius.

Otherwise, a higher realm wouldn't be able to crush a lower realm.

As for the Yin-Yang School and the School of Diplomacy, it goes without saying that normal cultivators can only withstand one kind of power, but the Yin-Yang School and the School of Diplomacy require two opposing powers.

Therefore, the cultivation of the five schools requires not only a strong physical body, but also a firm will.

The purpose of the Five Virtues Divide is to educate the two people who have been corrupted by malice, so that they can strengthen their own path and their own will.

"This humble citizen, Wang Yangming, greets the village head." The earth element clone among the five virtue clones, also known as the benevolent virtue clone, bowed to Zhao Xuan, who had transformed into an old man.

The incarnation of Tu De Ren De cultivates the Confucian way. In his previous life, Zhao Xuan, a Confucian sage, believed that Wang Yangming, as the last Confucian sage, should be the true Confucian sage. Therefore, the incarnation of Tu De Ren De took the name Wang Yangyang.

"No need for formalities. Judging from your appearance, you are a scholar. May I ask what brings you here?" Zhao Xuan asked.

“Please forgive my abrupt visit, Village Head, but I am here to ask for your assistance with the school matter,” Wang Yangming said.

"Mr. Wang, we are commoners from a fishing village, of humble origin. A hundred years ago, when the Great Zhao unified the seven kingdoms, we were relocated to another place under the arrangement of the imperial court."

This is already an act of great imperial grace from the Great Zhao Dynasty, allowing us, the people of an enemy country, to survive.

"As for studying, we wouldn't even dare to dream of it," Zhao Xuan said tremblingly.

"Muramasa need not worry. The Great Zhao Dynasty governs the country with virtue. Whether they are of Han ethnicity or Zhao ethnicity, they are all citizens of the Great Zhao Dynasty and have the right to receive education."

"Emperor Yuanding of the Great Zhao Dynasty regards the people's livelihood as a matter of great importance in governance, and has long ago ordered the popularization of education. We are here because the government has sent us," Wang Yangming said.

"Oh, I see. Emperor Yuanding is benevolent." Zhao Xuan gave a perfunctory bow towards the sky, then said, "In that case, Mr. Wang, please make yourself at home. What business do you have with me?"

“We dare not deceive the village head, but our school has been under construction for several months, yet no one has come to enroll. So we would like to ask the village head for help,” Wang Yangming said.

"Ah, if that's the case, you're incredibly audacious. I'll have the villagers send their children to school right away." Zhao Xuan said, getting up to leave.

“Village Master, please calm down,” Wang Yangming quickly intervened to stop Zhao Xuan. “It’s not the villagers’ fault. It’s just that life is hard on the coast of the East China Sea. The people can only have a stable life by working hard with their whole family.”

Naturally, it's impossible to send children to school, so if we want the villagers to voluntarily send their children to school, we need the cooperation of the village head.

"Oh, I wonder how Mr. Wang intends for this old man to cooperate?" Zhao Xuan asked, feigning confusion.

"My colleagues at the school and I have prepared some gifts for the villagers and would like to ask the village head to gather the villagers at the school."

At that time, Muramasa will only need to cooperate with us.

“It is natural to cooperate with you, sir, but I still need your guidance on how to act,” Zhao Xuan said.

"...Does Muramasa understand?" Wang Yangming asked.

"Thank you so much, sir. I will do my utmost to help you," Zhao Xuan said, feigning deep gratitude.

“In that case, I will take my leave. We will wait for the village head at the school at 9:00 AM tomorrow,” Wang Yangming said.

"Take care, sir," Zhao Xuan said respectfully as he saw him off.

......

The next day, Zhao Xuan, in his capacity as village head, ordered the villagers to temporarily cease fishing for a day, and then led hundreds of villagers toward the school.

The matter is quite simple to explain.

After Zhao Xuan led the villagers to the school, Wang Yangming showed everyone a vegetable garden.

It is important to know that the land along the coast of the East China Sea is not suitable for cultivation, and there is a lack of fresh water, which is why fishermen make a living by fishing.

You should know that fishing in the East China Sea in this era was fraught with danger.

Fishing boats are all small boats, and if they are not handled properly or encounter strong winds and waves, they are in danger of capsizing.

Not to mention that the East China Sea is a place where aquatic creatures gather.

Even a minor demon could capsize a fishing boat, causing it to be destroyed and people to die.

If they could farm, they naturally wouldn't risk their lives to go out to sea to fish.

Wang Yangming cultivated a large vegetable garden in the sandy soil by the sea, which was naturally extraordinary.

However, Zhao Xuan's clones, being ordinary people with limited wisdom, naturally couldn't see the extraordinary aspects of it, since besides fishing, everyone still had vegetable gardens.

Although it's a very small area, there is still a vegetable garden.

Then Zhao Xuan stepped forward to play the straight man for Wang Yangming, praising the large vegetable garden and its excellent growth.

Finally, the conversation shifted, and they asked if it was possible to create larger fields for growing crops, so that people wouldn't have to risk their lives to fish in the sea.

These words immediately attracted the attention of the villager's clones, since survival is the instinct of all living beings, and even Zhao Xuan's clone's mind was imprinted with this instinct.

Zhao Xuan did not attach his consciousness to the clones; these clones were all formed from a trace of Tai Sui's flesh and blood.

These clones are made to be no different from normal people's bodies, except perhaps a little healthier.

Therefore, the thinking of these clones is that of normal ordinary people, who also think about how to survive and how to survive better.

They wouldn't risk their lives to fish if they could find a better way to survive.

Wang Yangming immediately noticed that Zhao Xuan had changed the subject.

He naturally knew it was his turn to take charge, and immediately said so.

My colleagues and I discovered a secret formula that can transform sandy soil into arable muddy soil, suitable for growing vegetables and grains.

This sparked much discussion among the villagers.

Then Zhao Xuan continued to work together with Wang Yangming and the others.

Zhao Xuan asked what the requirements were for improving sandy soil into muddy soil.

Then Wang Yangming and others began to explain.

The secret methods of Wang Yangming and his contemporaries were nothing more than stabilizing sand and nourishing the soil.

Sand stabilization involves planting a type of grass that grows very quickly, has extremely deep root systems, and a very short lifespan.

They only grow for one month each year, and reproduce from annual grass seeds.

Unlike ordinary grass plants, which reproduce from seeds and allow the parent plant to grow again the following year.

This type of grass can be planted at the right time, and once it has grown to a certain stage, the exposed grass leaves can be cut off.

The remaining grass roots will not grow further; they will remain in the soil and hold the sandy soil firmly in place, preventing it from eroding further.

When these grasses are growing, various substances are added as fertilizer, and when only the grass roots remain, the nutrients from these fertilizers will be locked in the soil.

This transforms sandy soil, which is unsuitable for growing crops, into muddy soil suitable for growing crops.

However, one must be very careful when stabilizing sand and nourishing the land.

After all, for grasses with such characteristics to reproduce, they need to find ways to continue their lineage.

The method for planting these grasses is to grow more grass seeds.

Each blade of grass can produce tens of millions of seeds, and a field of grass only needs one blade of grass to produce seeds.

These tens of millions of grass seeds can be carried by the wind and fly far away to grow into a meadow.
