My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Zhao Xuan originally thought that after he had mastered his own destiny, he would be able to confront cultivators on the Human Emperor's throne head-on.

With the addition of the Boundless Holy Body, it can be said that there is no one in the Immortal Realm who can threaten Zhao Xuan on the surface.

As long as he doesn't indiscriminately kill innocent people or destroy souls, the three paths won't target Zhao Xuan, so Zhao Xuan's life is safe.

However, he couldn't even withstand the information flow contained within the power of Wuji.

Zhao Xuan immediately realized that he still had a long way to go.

I only remembered the mythical Great Luo, but forgot the words "Golden Immortal".

I have always categorized immortals as belonging to the path of immortality, but I have forgotten what the essence of immortality is.

The essence of an immortal is a person who has withdrawn from the world; this withdrawal does not mean escaping but rather transcending it.

What does it mean to transcend the immortal realm?

What transcends the mundane is nature.

What is there for ordinary people to transcend?

The answer is clearly not limited to the material concerns of birth, aging, illness, and death.

The mundane world is full of endless desires and disturbances. People are often misled by fame and fortune, falling into endless struggles and scheming; or they indulge in sensual pleasures, getting lost in fleeting joys and unable to extricate themselves.

However, for immortals, they have already transcended this persistent pursuit of worldly benefits.

Furthermore, the emotional entanglements of the mortal world are also one of the things that immortals transcend.

Family affection, romantic love, and friendship—these are the most beautiful human emotions, yet they often bring pain and trouble.

With their detached and transcendent state of mind, immortals are no longer bound by these emotions and are able to view all things in the world with a broader perspective.

In addition, the various rules and etiquette of mortal society are also constraints that immortals must break free from.

Those outdated customs and cumbersome procedures restricted people's freedom and nature, while immortals transcended all of this and acted according to the true guidance of their hearts.

In short, what immortals transcend is the noise and extravagance, desires and obsessions, constraints and limitations of the mortal world, thereby reaching a supreme state of freedom and ease.

However, the difficulty of truly transcending endless desires and deep-seated obsessions to reach the supreme state of freedom and ease is beyond imagination.

Desire is like a bottomless whirlpool; once you fall into it, it's hard to escape. Obsession is like a stubborn rope, tightly binding people's minds, making it impossible for them to break free of its shackles.

To break free from these heavy shackles requires extraordinary effort and perseverance, as well as exceptional wisdom and courage.

On this path filled with thorns and fog, countless people have lost their way, ultimately only able to sigh in despair and be left with regrets. Only a very few, possessing unwavering faith and an indomitable spirit, have the possibility of touching the edge of that seemingly unattainable supreme realm after overcoming countless hardships.

However, the difficulty of transcending endless desires and deep obsessions to reach the supreme state of freedom and ease is beyond imagination.

Even if someone manages to touch the very edge of such a supreme realm, it is considered an incredible stroke of luck!

This realm cannot be attained through cultivation, nor can it be obtained through prayer, and it is impossible to achieve through struggle.

If you embark on the path of spiritual practice, harbor prayers, or participate in fierce battles, it means that you harbor desires and attachments.

The more you strive and cultivate yourself, the harder it is to obtain what you desire; the more intense the struggle, the more you are trapped in a huge vortex of desire, and the tighter you are bound by the heavy shackles of your obsession.

This creates a logically perplexing paradox: must one practice without cultivating, seek without seeking, and contend without contending?

Such thinking transcends the boundaries of ordinary logic and enters the profound realm of philosophy.

Thus, the topic naturally shifted to the state of "non-action" and that moment of sudden enlightenment.

The so-called "wuwei" is not true inaction, but a way of life that seems to do nothing but act in accordance with the natural way.

A sudden enlightenment, on the other hand, is like a flash of inspiration, allowing one to instantly grasp the true meaning of all things in the world, thereby breaking free from the shackles of desire and obsession, and stepping towards that unattainable supreme realm.

This is precisely the key reason why Zhao Xuan is having such a headache!

It should be noted that Zhao Xuan has been in this Immortal Realm for over five thousand years. However, even after such a long period of time, the knowledge he has accumulated over those five thousand years is still unable to completely erase the materialistic understanding deeply imprinted in his soul from his previous life.

Zhao Xuan's principles of law and Tao have always been in a delicate state of mutual reconciliation and interplay between idealism and materialism.

Clearly, this unique conceptual system differs greatly from the mainstream cultivation understanding in the human and immortal realms.

Because in the realm of immortals and humans, almost all cultivators completely supersede materialistic cognition with pure idealism.

But what about himself? He was unable to completely conceal his materialistic understanding from his previous life as easily as others.

For this reason, Zhao Xuan did not choose to cultivate directly in the traditional way of the human immortal realm, but only tried to comprehend the various principles and methods contained therein.

Since they haven't even adopted the most basic methods of cultivation, there's no way they can achieve anything amazing or make any breakthroughs.

Zhao Xuan's cultivation foundation can be said to rely entirely on the Wuji version of the Flower Blooming in an Instant Great Divine Power.

The reason why Zhao Xuan has such a profound understanding of supernatural powers is that, in his long cultivation journey, he clearly recognized that there is a subtle and close connection between cultivation and supernatural powers.

That is, cultivation is the foundation, and supernatural powers are the application.

Cultivation is the key step in accumulating power, as solid and firm as a foundation; while supernatural powers are the specific means of applying the power gained through cultivation.

However, Zhao Xuan always found the mysteries of this cultivation field elusive and difficult to comprehend.

Faced with this predicament, he wisely chose to give up on delving deeper into the path of cultivation.

However, the Wuji version of "Flowers Bloom in an Instant" displayed such powerful strength and magical effects that it was simply astonishing and breathtaking!

If we compare spiritual practice to the complex and obscure code language in a computer system, then Zhao Xuan is undoubtedly like a complete novice who knows nothing about programming.

However, to him, supernatural powers were like those various fully functional and wonderful applications meticulously written with code.

Although Zhao Xuan may not know exactly what specific code is used to build these programs, this does not prevent him from using them skillfully and deriving great benefits from them.

Therefore, with that Wuji version of "Flowers Bloom in an Instant", Zhao Xuan successfully built an incredibly solid and unbreakable foundation for himself.

It's worth noting that this Wuji version of "Flowers Bloom in an Instant" is nothing short of miraculous. Its magical abilities are simply beyond imagination—it can break free from its original code constraints and create entirely new code!

This extraordinary quality makes it a foundational practice that can be used as an alternative to other forms of spiritual cultivation.

However, it was precisely because Zhao Xuan's foundation, built upon his supernatural powers, was too strong that he gradually forgot the importance of cultivation.

This has led to Zhao Xuan's current predicament: if the power of Wuji in his divine abilities is slightly flawed or encounters any problems, Zhao Xuan will instantly fall into a helpless predicament.

At the same time, this also left him helpless when facing supernatural talismans, making it difficult for him to successfully refine the boundless power contained within them.

But from another perspective, it might be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. If Zhao Xuan had been able to break through the barrier of the supernatural talisman and directly confront the power of the limitless, the consequences would have been unimaginable. It's hard to imagine what a miserable end he would have suffered.

After all, the so-called Boundless Holy Body is merely an existence within the realm of humanity.

Above humanity lies the Way of Heaven, which governs everything, and above the Way of Heaven, the Great Way hangs high above the world.

As for the Great Dao, it is the mysterious, unpredictable, supreme primordial chaos and the boundless realm.

Zhao Xuan's unparalleled Dao-transfer artifact—the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus—has been damaged.

This situation undoubtedly proves that his doctrine is wrong, or that his theory is incomplete and contains fatal flaws.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Xuan constantly reflected and summarized during the process of recreating the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus, and finally realized that the problem lay in his understanding of the Mythical Great Luo.

He previously focused too much on the concepts of mythology and the Great Luo, but inadvertently overlooked the crucial concepts of "gold" and "immortal".

Although he didn't completely ignore it, he took too big a step and presumptuously incorporated the concepts of "gold" and "immortal" directly into the category of Da Luo.

However, in reality, the cultivation path of the so-called mythical Great Immortal should have clear levels and progressive relationships.

One should first become an immortal, then a golden immortal, then a great golden immortal, and finally a mythical great golden immortal.

This immortal is not the immortal realm of the immortal path, nor is the golden immortal realm of the immortal path, nor is the great Luo golden immortal realm of the immortal path.

Rather, it is a transcendent state of mind that transcends the mundane.

Gold represents unwavering commitment and original aspirations, which remain unchanged even after countless trials.

Only in the end can one encompass everything and transcend everything.

This process is a gradual expansion from the bottom up, rather than a forced compatibility from the top down.

Each stage has its unique requirements and key aspects, and none can be omitted.

Without a transcendent state of mind, one cannot withstand countless trials and tribulations, and will become lost in the endless rules of heaven and earth, as well as in the immense power.

From this perspective, the Human Emperor's Path is not suitable as a cultivation path for exploring the mythical path to becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The cultivation of the Human Emperor's Path is far too closely connected with the human race, and its entanglement with the human path is far too close.

Zhao Xuan could only say that he was incredibly lucky. He had always felt that he lacked control over his power, so he had been preparing to break through the supernatural talisman with complete control over his power.

However, by a twist of fate, his cultivation level remained at the ninth rank of the Saint Realm, without ever breaking through to a higher level.

The lower the cultivation level, the easier it is to switch cultivation paths.

Of course, before switching to cultivation, Zhao Xuan decided to leave seclusion first.

It wasn't that Zhao Xuan had a procrastination problem, but rather that switching majors required a lot of preparation.

Firstly, the Human Emperor's Path focuses on fortune and cultivates the power of the Three Treasures and various authorities, and it is also the cultivation path favored by the Human Path.

Therefore, in the process of cultivation, humanity will guide you, and you can cultivate without necessarily following certain methods.

However, once the practice is converted, the convenience of humanistic guidance is lost, so a complete legal system is necessary.

The methods are further divided into three levels: canon, scripture, and secret formula.

The canon contains a complete path of cultivation, including the general chapters on cultivation, methods of cultivation, methods of protecting the path, and various auxiliary arts, etc.

The scriptures, on the other hand, are the general chapters and methods of cultivation.

The "secret" is a general term for methods of protecting the Way and assisting in all arts.

To transform one's practice, one must at least create a general chapter and a method for cultivation.

As for the immortal cultivation lineage in the immortal realm, Zhao Xuan could only say that he was overthinking it.

Even if it were a Daoist technique personally created by the Dao Lord of the Human Immortal Realm, it would still destroy ninety percent of Zhao Xuan's foundation.

In the realm of immortals, the way of immortality emphasizes the principle of guarding one's own essence. One must refine a single source of energy, guard it, and continuously strengthen it, making it endless.

No method of cultivation in the Human Immortal Path can refine the power of the Limitless, the power of time, the power of the Four Symbols, the supreme spiritual power of the Five Elements, or even the power of the void.

The reason why power exists in different levels is because the principles, rules, and authority it contains are also differentiated in different levels.

This is also one of the reasons why the Human Emperor's Path is so powerful.

However, the primordial energy of the immortal path is of the highest purity and essence. It is believed that the acquired energy is refined to the point of being innate, thus returning the acquired to the innate.

Then, the innate Qi can be used to generate endless variations.

In order to pursue purity, the starting point must not be too high, otherwise one will face the predicament of practicing the secret techniques of a hundred schools, which is that they are difficult to refine.

Zhao Xuan is willing to switch cultivation methods, but he will not accept abandoning his original cultivation.

Regardless of the dangers Zhao Xuan would face after the abolition, the Great Zhao Dynasty is currently only able to survive because of Zhao Xuan's presence, which allows the Eight Heavenly Courts to retreat.

If Zhao Xuan encounters problems and his combat strength cannot be maintained, the Eight Heavenly Courts will not let this opportunity pass.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan needed to create a stronger law that could bear his power.

Otherwise, Zhao Xuan would rather ascend for tens of thousands of years, making himself powerful enough to directly face the power of the limitless.

In short, the reason for switching cultivation is that the Immortal Path is more suitable for achieving the mythical realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, it doesn't mean that the Human Emperor's Path has no chance of achieving the mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

All paths ultimately lead to the same destination: to take control of creation.

The reason for switching to cultivation is that cultivating the Immortal Path saves more time than cultivating the Human Emperor Path.

If switching cultivation methods requires spending even more time to improve one's power level, and this time is longer than the time required to achieve the mythical Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through the Human Emperor Path, then switching cultivation methods becomes meaningless.

That's why Zhao Xuan came out of seclusion, because the magic that can bear the power of the infinite cannot be created by Zhao Xuan in his current seclusion.
