My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

In fact, these five thousand years can also be seen as the process of opening up the River of Fortune. Zhao Xuan's goal is to open up the River of Fortune to a level of about 1.5 million.

This accidental turn of events actually achieved their goal, saving Zhao Xuan and Zhao Mingcheng thousands of years.

While luck can elevate a cultivator's realm, it consumes a tremendous amount of luck.

A cultivator only needs one unit of Qi to enter a higher rank, two units for the eighth rank, three units for the seventh rank, and so on, increasing by one unit for each rank, until the first rank only requires nine units of Qi.

Then, 90 portions are needed to break through to the Grandmaster realm. 180 portions are needed for the eighth-grade Grandmaster, 270 portions for the seventh-grade Grandmaster, and 90 portions are needed for each grade of Grandmaster. 810 portions are needed for the first-grade Grandmaster.

Starting with 8,100 units of luck for a Grandmaster, each subsequent Grandmaster level adds another 8,100 units of luck, with a first-level Grandmaster requiring 72,900 units of luck.

The Divine Realm begins with 729,000 portions of fortune.

From the entry level to the ninth level of the divine realm, it takes about 1.1 million units of luck.

Once the Great Zhao's River of Fortune reaches 1.5 million, Zhao Mingcheng's 30% authority, combined with Zhao Xuan's 40% authority, will allow him to mobilize approximately 1.1 million units of fortune.

One divine being can be cultivated every year.

A divine being cultivated in this way will be absolutely loyal to the Great Zhao.

When the River of Fortune reaches a level of one hundred million, it can be promoted to the Celestial Empire.

Once the number reaches one trillion, a celestial court can be established.

This is how Chang Xu, a ruler of the imperial realm, was cultivated using fortune.

Realm is one thing, and combat power is another.

However, once you've reached a certain level, improving your combat power becomes much simpler than improving it step by step.

Between those at the same cultivation level, the difference in combat power is enormous.

For someone like Zhao Xuan, who has reached the Saint Realm through sheer luck, no matter how much he tries, it's useless.

Even someone like Zhao Minxin could fight against a hundred or even a thousand men single-handedly.

The Holy Realm and Holy Body include six grades of the Immeasurable Holy Body, with a tenfold difference between the same grade in each grade.

Even after reaching the Emperor Realm, this gap won't decrease much; in fact, it might widen.

The same method can produce different levels of power.

The reason why Zhao Xuan and Zhao Mingcheng waited until the two million level to cultivate the Emperor Realm was because...

The reason is that the Divine Realm is a stage of accumulation. If you can save a thousand years of cultivation, you can have a thousand years to accumulate and achieve a stronger Holy Body.

In the future, these will all be the main force of the Great Zhao Heavenly Court.

It's like achieving instant success.

Another hundred years passed, and there was no longer any place for the black energy in the River of Fortune of the Great Zhao Dynasty. After taking a couple of glances, the Vermilion Bird transformed into a golden dragon and happily circled around the consciousnesses of Zhao Xuan and Zhao Mingcheng before disappearing into the River of Fortune.

It can only be said that Earth is too big, and the territory of the human race is also large, but there are too few high-level cultivators in the center, such as Zhao Mingcheng and his companion. Without the presence of high-level cultivators, things like transformation are extremely difficult.

This is why Zhao Xuan and Zhao Mingcheng wanted to wait until five thousand years later to begin the reforms.

Afterwards, rewards were distributed according to merit, and Zhao Xuan received 40% of the luck.

Zhao Mingcheng took 30% of the fortune.

This 40% of the fortune could allow Zhao Xuan to advance to the Emperor Realm, but the realm is currently meaningless to Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan then assigned them to the Heavenly Stems Squad and the Serpent Vine Squad.

These fortune-telling sayings, if distributed among the eleven people, would not be enough to elevate any one person's rank.

This involves the issue of utilization rate.

The higher one's natural talent, the less energy is consumed when using luck to advance one's realm.

Because of his Limitless Divine Power and True Spirit, Zhao Xuan can utilize his luck to the fullest extent, or even use luck as a catalyst to achieve ten or a hundred times the utilization rate.

However, the Heavenly Stem Squad and the Serpent Vine cannot go; at most, they can only utilize them to the fullest extent.

This is also why the same fortune allowed Zhao Xuan to advance a major realm, while they couldn't even advance a minor realm.

However, while this good fortune cannot elevate one's cultivation level, it can still help them comprehend supernatural powers.

For Zhao Xuan, the level of great supernatural powers is far too low. Only the standard of boundless supernatural powers would be valued by Zhao Xuan.

It can also be used as a trump card.

Refine your fortune, use it to comprehend magical techniques and supernatural powers, and burn your fortune to fight enemies.

These three types are similar to the relationship between a company's original equity, newly issued phantom shares, and listed shares.

Original shareholders determine who controls the company, issuing new shares involves dividends, and listed shares are solely for financing.

To refine one's fortune, one must understand that the fortune a cultivator refines will return to the Heavenly Dao after death. After all, the Heavenly Dao is the ruler of the world, and this is tantamount to indirectly aiding the enemy. Humanity has imposed many restrictions on it, so its utilization rate is extremely low.

Using one's fortune to comprehend magical arts and supernatural powers, these supernatural talismans and magical arts can be passed down. Although they will return to the Heavenly Dao after use, the Human Dao also benefits, so their utilization rate is much higher than refining fortune.

As for burning one's fortune to fight an enemy, it is equivalent to the fortune returning to the Great Dao and then being redistributed. The Heavenly Dao, as the way to govern the world, enjoys the fruits of this and is very pleased with it. Therefore, it not only allows the human world to relinquish power, but also gives it a boost, enabling it to exert power far exceeding its own.

Ten thousand points are enough to unleash an attack at the Human Emperor level or withstand an attack at the Human Emperor level, which can be described as having enormous power.

However, such direct aid to the enemy will be met with retaliation later.

If you're fighting against someone from another path, that's fine, but if you're fighting against someone from the same human path, you're basically just waiting to be doomed.

Not only will those who burn through their luck be severely punished, but those who force them to burn through their luck will be punished even more severely.

Whether it's fighting or killing among those who belong to the same sect, it's equivalent to a civil dispute. As long as it's not too excessive, the authorities won't investigate unless the people file a complaint.

However, since it involves burning gas, which is tantamount to using firearms, the government will inevitably intervene.

There is a bottom line in the struggles between all human cultivators at the Saint Realm and above who can burn their destiny.

After all, if you're pushed to the limit, someone might burn their life force to attack you. Not to mention whether you can withstand or dodge it, you won't be able to withstand the humanitarian investigation afterwards.

Burning ten thousand units of luck at once is also the bottom line that humanity can bear.

The immeasurable holy body possesses immeasurable spiritual cultivation, immeasurable lifespan, and immeasurable supernatural powers, which actually relates to fortune.

The premise of this immeasurable amount is that the fortune is fixed at nine thousand units.

They manifest themselves respectively through military fortune, longevity fortune, and virtuous fortune.

Military fortune represents strength, longevity fortune represents lifespan, and virtue fortune represents faith.

These three cycles of fortune are connected to the overall fortune of the human race and are replenished at any time.

Martial fortune can be transformed into Taoist practice, longevity fortune can be transformed into long lifespan, and moral fortune can be transformed into faith.

The reason for the division into three phases also involves the issue of utilization rate.

The Qi Luck contains endless principles and laws, which are divided into three Lucks. This way, there will be no problem of filling everything up regardless of whether there is a deficiency or not.

For example, the power of boundless supernatural abilities can be activated with any force, including the power of faith.

The principles and laws consumed by activating supernatural powers are much less than those consumed by using Taoist cultivation.

In this way, the Boundless Holy Body can use supernatural powers as its primary means of combat, activated by the power of faith.

Humanity's fortune only needs to be replenished with the power of reason, law, and faith required for supernatural powers. This is similar to fighting a war, where guns, ammunition, and food are essential.

A gun without bullets is like a fire poker. If you run out of bullets, I just need to refill your magazine; I don't need to give you a new gun with full ammo or a full magazine.

Virtue is like bullets, martial fortune is like magazines plus bullets, martial fortune is like food, and spiritual fortune is like bullets plus magazines plus food.

It's much more economical to supplement what you lack than to supplement everything regardless of whether you need it or not.

As for the idea that one can achieve immortality above the Divine Realm, wouldn't a fixed lifespan be useless?

That's a misunderstanding of lifespan and fortune.

A mortal realm ninth rank completion grants a lifespan of 600 years, a grandmaster ninth rank completion grants a lifespan of 1200 years, a great grandmaster ninth rank completion grants a lifespan of 1800 years, and a divine realm ninth rank completion grants a lifespan of 2400 years. Each time a Three Treasures Golden Flower is condensed, one's lifespan increases by 60 years.

It's not that those in the divine realm don't age or die, but rather that they can refine their fortune and replenish their lifespan through the power of faith.

Refining fortune to replenish lifespan only consumes a small portion of the principles and laws related to lifespan within the fortune; the rest returns to the human race's fortune, so its utilization rate is still very high.

Lifespan and lifespan are different. Lifespan is how long you can live, which is determined by fate. When your lifespan is exhausted, you die peacefully in your sleep.

Lifespan is how many more years you can live; it is your lifespan minus the lifespan you have already used up.

Lifespan is like a river, and lifespan is like the water in the river. When there is no water, the river dries up and loses its meaning.

Without a river, water has nowhere to be stored and has no meaning.

Breaking through a realm increases one's lifespan, not one's lifespan.

The mortal realm, the grandmaster realm, the great grandmaster realm, and the divine realm all increase lifespan by condensing the Three Treasures Golden Flower.

To transform lifespan into longevity, you also need to supplement the Three Treasures.

For example, a Grandmaster's perfect lifespan is 1,800 years. If they are seriously injured during this period, their lifespan will be consumed more quickly, and they will not live long enough to live out their full lifespan.

This way, you will become a ghost and live out the rest of your lifespan in the underworld. Moreover, your remaining lifespan will be increased tenfold before you can be reincarnated.

This involves the issue of checks and balances on human rights, which we will leave aside for now.

The relationship between lifespan and lifespan is related to the great destiny of a human being.

Humans often divide life into five stages: childhood, adolescence, youth, middle age, and old age. This destiny is hidden within these stages.

The period from birth to age six is ​​called childhood, and this stage is called the transition to the mortal realm.

This refers to the stage in which the primordial energy of the human race is covered by primordial energy, gradually losing its innate divine abilities.

Those aged seven to sixteen are called teenagers, and this stage is called "spirit-stealing".

This refers to the stage where vital energy is covered by more vital energy, and spirituality is gradually lost.

The period from seventeen to forty years old is called youth, and this stage is called acquired life.

This refers to the stage where humanity has become completely divine and spiritual, but life seeks a way out and is completely fixed as an acquired being.

The period from forty-one to sixty years old is called middle age, and this stage is called knowing one's destiny.

This refers to the stage in which humans transform into post-natal beings and maintain their vitality in the form of post-natal beings.

The period from age sixty-one until death is called old age, and this stage is called the "retirement period".

This refers to the stage where the human race can no longer even maintain its own vitality and enters the stage of death.

So what is cultivation about? Cultivation is about reversing, seizing, and controlling the forces of creation.

Of course, this cultivation is not just about absorbing spiritual energy; a person's entire life is a process of cultivation.

During childhood, humans gradually become ordinary, and this transformation requires the acquisition of acquired energy while obscuring the innate energy.

Therefore, humans receive many preferential treatments during their childhood in order to minimize the loss of their innate Qi.

However, humans lack self-control during childhood, so they can only begin cultivation after the age of six.

This is why humans hold a sacrifice to a hundred saints at the age of six, so that the saints can enlighten their minds, manifest their destiny stars, and return their karmic stars to their rightful places.

This is in preparation for having one's spirit stolen during childhood; in human cultivation, this stage is called guarding the spirit or preserving the spirit.

It means to guard the last bit of innate Qi that has not been obscured by acquired factors, or to retain the last connection with innate Qi.

This stage is the most suitable for cultivation. Once this stage is passed, the human race will completely lose the qualification to reverse the course of fate.

Zhao Xuan's predecessor was in the same situation. Because his destiny star and karma star were too low, he was not enlightened by the hundred sages and failed to enter the ranks after the age of sixteen. Therefore, Zhao Xiong told him that he could no longer cultivate.

In other words, the most suitable age for humans to cultivate is between seven and seventeen years old.

Or rather, for humans to cultivate, they must remain in this special stage where their innate potential is not yet exhausted and their acquired potential is not yet determined.

However, this process is calculated based on the human race's lifespan of one hundred years.

After reaching the highest rank, one's lifespan is increased by sixty years. Combined with the innate lifespan of one hundred years, the lifespan of the human race reaches one hundred and sixty years.

If we calculate in equal terms, childhood is from zero to nine and a half years old, and adolescence is from nine and a half to twenty-five and a half years old.

For example, if you entered the rank of a cultivator at the age of fifteen, you would originally only have one year left to cultivate. However, because your lifespan is increased by sixty years, fifteen years of a lifespan of one hundred and sixty years is equivalent to about nine and a half years of a lifespan of one hundred years.

This means you still have several years of training time to improve rapidly.

In other words, if you want to cultivate quickly, you should try to keep yourself between the ages of zero and sixteen, which is equivalent to a hundred years old.

To avoid completely falling to the level of acquired skills.

The Sacred Realm is crucial in the nine realms of cultivation in the Human Emperor's Path, connecting the past and the future. Therefore, the lifespan of a Sacred Realm cultivator is increased tenfold, with a minimum of 24,000 years and an additional 600 years for each subsequent rank.

Each additional Three Treasures Golden Flower that is condensed adds sixty years to one's lifespan; the thirty-six varieties of Three Treasures Golden Flowers represent a lifespan of two thousand one hundred and sixty years.

In other words, the lifespan of a 36th-grade Three Treasures Golden Flower who breaks through to the Saint Realm is 45,600 years.

Each time a cultivation level increases by one rank, the Three Treasures Golden Flower upgrades, which increases lifespan by 2,220 years.

Therefore, you will find that once you reach the Saint Realm, your lifespan is definitely not enough. After all, with normal cultivation, each level of the Saint Realm requires tens of thousands of years of cultivation.

How to do?

Slay demons, slay ghosts, slay all beings that do not belong to the human realm, obtain the human realm's fortune, and then use the fortune to increase lifespan, or refine the fortune to directly improve cultivation and increase lifespan.

At this point, you won't even have enough lifespan, let alone maintain yourself in childhood or adolescence.

Longevity and good fortune are what allow you to maintain this state of rapid spiritual cultivation.

Therefore, lifespan is like food on the battlefield. If soldiers starve to death, no matter how good the gun or how many bullets they have, it's useless.

Maintaining this stage is a great fortune in the cultivation of humankind.
