My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Because the advancement of the demon race involves the evolution of a bloodline, and each bloodline evolution brings a huge improvement.

The human race improved its cultivation system by referencing the evolution of the demon race's bloodline.

The human form is called the Dao body, so the demon race can find the source and cultivate to become the demon ancestor, but the human bloodline cannot find the source.

The terms "Ancestor of Man" and "Ancestor of Culture" are merely honorifics, or rather, the origins of civilization, not the origins of bloodlines.

Zhao Xuan recognized the monster he was pointing at; it was the Golden Armored Giant Ape.

The reason it is called this is because its race's innate supernatural power is golden armor.

In addition, there is the "Law of Heaven and Earth," a natural divine power that all demons possess.

When the Golden Armored Giant Ape clan cultivates to a certain level, the golden armor will merge into their body, directly enhancing their body's defensive capabilities.

Furthermore, the hair changes from gold to silver-white as the level increases.

It's not because the defensive power has decreased, but rather that while the defensive power has become more restrained, it has also acquired the resilience of Xin metal.

Zhao Xuan suddenly remembered the armor-making skills of a member of the Heavenly Stems Squad.

If this silver giant ape were refined into spirit armor, it could probably withstand attacks from an emperor-level being.

Just as Zhao Xuan was pondering, the silver giant ape suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up at its surroundings.

Zhao Xuan hid in the imaginary space and was not detected by the silver giant ape, which then went about its own business.

Under the silver giant ape's magical power, the meteorite was gradually refined to the size of a human head.

Then he was blasted into the mountain by the silver giant ape.

Zhao Xuan roughly understood the survival methods of the demon race in the Dark Sea.

The Dark Sea is filled with strange rules; density and pressure are only one reason that limits the growth of living beings. The most important reason is that the laws governing it, like the waters of oblivion, can cloud the intelligence of living beings.

Therefore, all the demonic beasts vie for the star fragments containing the rules of creation, using these rules to enlighten themselves and elevate their cultivation level.

In a world where the strong prey on the weak, these star fragments will naturally be acquired by the most powerful beings among them.

These powerful beings, organized by race, used fragments of stars to carve out an area on the seabed that was isolated from the influence of seawater, providing a habitat for their races to survive.

Firstly, the star fragments themselves contain a large amount of spiritual energy; secondly, their creation rules can not only protect the spirituality of the monsters in the area, but also greatly enhance their spirituality.

Even when outside the protected area, they can maintain their intelligence for a longer period of time in the waters of the Dark Sea.

These territorial beast races are at the top of the food chain in the Dark Sea.

Secondly, there are some scattered demons, which are those that have obtained and refined star fragments to maintain their intelligence.

Then there are the mindless monsters.

Because a large number of star fragments were refined and placed on the seabed.

The spiritual energy from those star fragments continuously dissipates into the seabed, making the seabed the richest in spiritual energy.

Then it dissipates upwards, and the higher you go, the thinner the spiritual energy becomes.

However, due to the characteristics of the Dark Sea's water, spiritual energy hardly dissipates to the outside world.

All upward-moving spiritual energy gathers on the surface of the sea. That's why the sea can hold up falling fragments of stars.

The average depth of the Dark Sea exceeds 100,000 miles.

The highest level consists of Divine Realm demonic beasts that survive within a 10,000-mile radius. From 10,000 to 30,000 miles, they are Saint Realm demonic beasts. From 30,000 to 60,000 miles, they are Emperor Realm demonic beasts. From 60,000 miles to the seabed, they are Emperor Realm demonic beasts.

High-level demonic beasts from the deepest layers rarely venture into the upper seas, because the demonic beasts from the lower layers are of a higher level, and entering the upper layers would be like a fish out of water, extremely uncomfortable.

However, lower-level demonic beasts in the upper realms can venture into the deep sea if they are not afraid of death.

Therefore, when the monsters in the upper levels advance, they will instinctively enter the deeper levels.

Meanwhile, the monsters on the lower levels can wait and wait to obtain star fragments.

If you're lucky, you might survive; if you're unlucky, you'll become food when you descend into the deeper layers.

It can be said that the star fragments maintain the vitality of the Dark Sea.

The Dark Sea itself does not have a high spiritual energy content, and the star fragments are occupied by powerful races, so once a new star fragment arrives, it will trigger a fierce struggle.

However, these issues are not currently within Zhao Xuan's purview.

Zhao Xuan came to the Dark Sea for two reasons: first, to see the situation there firsthand; and second, to relocate the caves within the Dark Sea to the Central Plains and the Four Wildernesses.

The human territory is currently lacking in everything, especially high-quality cultivation resources.

It should be noted that in previous unified dynasties, cultivators at the Divine Realm were forced to ascend to various Heavenly Courts or Underworlds before unification.

This number is considerable. The seven kingdoms' imperial courts have tens of thousands of divine realm cultivators. These tens of thousands of divine realm cultivators do not need cultivation resources; they cultivate solely through faith.

Each of the seven kingdoms has a hundred cities, and each city has a City God and the Old Man Under the Moon, making a total of nearly 1,500 deities in the seven kingdoms, not including the underworld deities under the City God.

Left and right judges are standard. County city gods have three chief officials, prefecture city gods have six chief officials, capital city gods have twenty-four chief officials, and the capital city gods of the seven kingdoms have thirty-six chief officials.

In total, there are nearly ten thousand divine positions.

Including those divine realms below the first rank, those divine realms below the ranks of the Daoist and Buddhist courts, and those divine realms who preside over the imperial court, the total number exceeds 30,000.

These divine beings would ascend to various celestial courts during the war of unification.

This time, however, they did not ascend to heaven; they all remained in the Great Zhao Dynasty.

Even though most of them were eliminated due to the chaos caused by the Zhao family's ancestral temple, Zhao Xuan trained another group, so the total number actually increased instead of decreasing.

Now that the divine position has been taken back by the human and earthly paths, it is no longer sufficient to gather faith and accelerate cultivation.

Zhao Xuan drew upon the stellar energy, which, after being refined by the Seven Stars Severing Fortune Array, significantly increased the concentration of spiritual energy in the human region.

However, at the current refining rate, it is still insufficient to support so many Emperor Realm, Saint Realm, and God Realm cultivators.

Moreover, there is a lack of advanced cultivation resources.

Zhao Xuan planned to move the powerful beings slumbering in the Dark Sea, along with their grotto-heavens, back to the Central Plains and the Four Wildernesses.

Once these powerful beings reach the end of their lifespan, their grotto-heavens will collapse, and the resources within will descend to the mortal world.

For the human ancestors who were entering old age, dying in their sleep was the best outcome.

The lifespan of a Saint is 50,000. The lifespan of a Sovereign is 500,000, the lifespan of an Emperor is 5 million, the lifespan of a Human Emperor is 50 million, and the lifespan of a Human Emperor is 100 million.

However, once one reaches the Human Emperor position or Human Emperor realm, even if their lifespan is exhausted, they can be reborn from the Dao Fruit.

A cultivator whose lifespan has not been exhausted, as long as their soul has not been scattered and their spirit has not been trapped, will be led to the underworld by the underworld spirits.

Then, through the process of Yin Life, they became ghosts serving the underworld.

These people had fought for humanity for most of their lives, and suddenly becoming ghosts and enemies of their own kind was worse than death for them.

Therefore, one of the responsibilities of the underworld is to fight against the Yin gods in the netherworld and retrieve the souls of human warriors who died in battle, so that they are not exploited by the underworld.

As powerful human beings enter old age, they gradually become aware of their aging, which is even more painful than death.

They didn't want to experience aging, nor did they want to cause trouble for the underworld before their lifespan was over.

So they simply fall into a deep sleep and die naturally when their lifespan is exhausted.

Such souls can be reincarnated directly after entering the underworld.

Of course, even when you're sound asleep, you don't want anyone to disturb your sleep.

That's how the cave keeper came to be.

A grotto-heaven is a complete small world, and it is a small world designed to support one's own cultivation, so there are many high-level spiritual objects within it.

Zhao Xuan enhanced his eyes with the power of the void, and the endless void principles merged with his eyes, instantly completing the cultivation of the Void Divine Eyes.

He then began to probe the Dark Sea with the Eye of the Void.

The grotto-heaven resides in the imaginary space, which is inherently in a state of flux, constantly changing and impermanent.

However, with the Void Core, the Imaginary Space has a foundation, can absorb spatial power to grow, and can exist in the world for a long time.

Practitioners store these imaginary spaces within their own acupoints, making them their personal spaces.

Once it becomes a personal space, the power that the Imaginary Space draws from the void will not be lost.

As a cultivator cultivates, the rules of creation they absorb will flow into their personal space.

The rules of creation will guide the forces in the imaginary space to assimilate with the outside world into the real world.

This is the grotto-heaven.

Then, the rules of creation and the core of the void will merge to form a world-suppressing divine object.

They are usually some kind of spiritual plant or some kind of creature.

The products of these spiritual plants and creatures are the special resources and spiritual objects of the cave heaven.

For example, the Enlightenment Tea Tree and the Source Blood Divine Tree both originated from a certain grotto-heaven.

Later, the cave collapsed and flowed into the East Sea, where it was obtained by a demon beast. Finally, it was stolen by the Heavenly Stems Team and fell into Zhao Xuan's hands.

Normally, when a grotto-heaven collapses, divine objects will also perish. However, if a divine object is fortunate enough, it will absorb the creation rules of the grotto-heaven, retain its own spirituality, and transform into a seed of spiritual beings, which will be reborn in the mortal world.

This rule of creation is the Heavenly Dao within the grotto-heaven.

However, in the present world, divine beings grow very slowly.

In the grotto-heaven, because the grotto-heaven master controls the Heavenly Dao, he can provide the entire space with divine objects, allowing the divine objects to grow faster.

When the master of the cave falls into a deep sleep, the Heavenly Dao of the cave will take over the cave's defense, causing the cave to fall into a deep sleep.

Of course, it also depends on the realm of the lord of the cave. If the lord of the cave has a powerful enough avatar of authority, he will also use the avatar of authority to take charge of the cave and protect his main body while he sleeps.

However, splitting off a portion of one's power and creating a clone will disperse some of one's three treasures, making the original body even weaker.

Many great beings can accept their own death, but cannot accept their own weakness.

After all, they were once powerful figures who controlled a region.

When the master of a grotto-heaven decides to go into slumber, he will naturally place the grotto-heaven into the mortal world. These grotto-heavens will then be hidden in the void, making them difficult for people to discover.

However, Zhao Xuan had already comprehended the power of the void, so he could naturally sense the hidden cave heaven within the void.

However, even if ordinary people find the hidden world, they cannot open it.

Even opening the cave doesn't guarantee that it can withstand the defensive forces within.

Even if you can withstand the defensive power of the cave, you may not be able to withstand the cave perishing with you.

If one is looking for a hidden paradise, the most convenient way is naturally through the power of divine sense. However, the seawater of the Dark Sea will dissolve the spiritual plants of cultivators and harm their divine sense.

Although Zhao Xuan was able to withstand the effects of the seawater, the wider the range of his divine sense spread, the more dispersed his natural power became, making it difficult to resist the erosion of the seawater.

This is also because Zhao Xuan has not yet gathered all the supreme spiritual power. At that time, even if the power is dispersed, all the five elements' power will be unable to harm Zhao Xuan in the slightest.

Moreover, after Zhao Xuan comprehended the Qi Luck, the four lucks of success, failure, and emptiness correspond to the four symbols and four forces of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Although Zhao Xuan has only comprehended the power of Azure Dragon for the time being.

However, he will definitely need to comprehend the power of the other three elements in the future. At that time, it can be said that no matter what method the power of the five elements uses, it will be difficult to harm Zhao Xuan.

This can be called invincible in the material world.

Although the human and immortal realm is divided into fifty-one levels, it is essentially still a material world.

The fundamental authority is the authority of matter, and all power is the authority to change matter.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan did not have much respect for either the Three Paths or the Great Path.

Under Zhao Xuan's Void Divine Eye, layers upon layers of space were displayed before his eyes like open pages of a book.

Even so, it took a month to discover the first cave.

The fact that living beings cannot directly see through the void is also a form of protection for them.

It is important to know that within a single space, countless imaginary spaces are constantly being created and destroyed, containing almost endless information, which poses an endless challenge to the understanding of humankind.

Under the onslaught of such information, living beings can go mad.

Even at Zhao Xuan's current level, he still needs to filter out useful information.

Moreover, the imaginary space is constantly being created and destroyed, and the force of creation and destruction continuously pushes the cave heaven to move.

The creation and destruction of imaginary space generates energy like tides, and the grotto-heavens are like fish swimming in the tides, hidden within the energy tides.

That's why it took Zhao Xuan half a month to discover a hidden paradise.

Zhao Xuan locked onto the cave and swiftly traversed the void to approach it.

When Zhao Xuan got closer, he saw the entire cave, which was an object shaped like a pagoda.

This is the normal state of a grotto-heaven. In order to maximize the function of a grotto-heaven, it will be refined into a Dao artifact.

In this way, the Dao artifact would have the weight of a world.

Such Daoist implements are generally in the form of seals, pagodas, bells, beads, etc.

In front of Zhao Xuan was a tower-shaped Dao artifact.

Zhao Xuan stared at the tower-shaped artifact in front of him, somewhat amazed. His luck was truly unparalleled.

Of all the grotto-heavens, those refined into Dao artifacts are the most difficult to deal with.

Cave heavens directly residing in the imaginary space are generally those of cultivators at the Emperor Realm. These cave heavens are the easiest to deal with; as long as one masters the power of the void, one can enter them.

Such a cave has the lowest defensive capabilities.

Secondly, there are those that are imbued with spiritual objects; such grottoes are usually guarded by a keeper.

Such grotto-heavens are generally those of cultivators at the Emperor Realm. These grotto-guardians are actually cultivators who use their authority to create avatars that parasitize living beings.

Then there are the Dao artifacts. Dao artifacts have spirits, and in order to better control them, the spirits of these Dao artifacts are important avatars of authority for cultivators.

Therefore, these magical artifacts can move autonomously and even fight back on their own.

Such Dao artifacts can generally only be crafted by cultivators at the highest level of the Three Elements. Their offensive and defensive capabilities are no less than those of the original artifact, and may even be superior.

The highest level even connects the cave heaven to the Dao-possessing artifact, which is truly difficult to deal with, and could even be used as a human emperor's throne.

This pagoda is a powerful artifact for cultivating one's spiritual path to enlightenment.
