Lin Caogen gazed at the three rings of the Immortal Continent, his heart surging with emotion. He fantasized about one day flying through the sky and traversing the earth.

Yang Guo also fell into deep thought. It was in the Third Ring that he first met his lover when he piloted his spaceship to the Immortal Continent.

The two gazed at this most important continent in the very center of the immortal realm for a long time.

Yang Guo said, "Boy! Let's set off! There are countless sects on the Third Ring Continent, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. I once studied at one of those sects, but unfortunately, that sect has long since been wiped out. This Third Ring Continent is quite unfamiliar to me now. I have important matters to attend to. Once we arrive on the Third Ring Continent, you can find a sect to cultivate in by chance!"

Lin Caogen panicked and asked, "Brother Yang! Are you going to let me go there to cultivate alone?"

Yang Guo nodded and said, "That's right. Strong people all grow up in solitude. Besides, I have many enemies. Keeping me by your side would not only bring you trouble, but might even lead to the destruction of the sect you joined. However, you don't need to worry. I'll give you a set of B-grade armor, which can save your life in a critical moment. But this armor has been with me for many years and is severely damaged. Now it only has defensive power, but no offensive power. Don't have too high expectations for it."

Lin Caogen said happily, "Thank you, Brother Yang. Something is better than nothing."

Yang Guo smiled and took out a black and gold belt, handing it to Lin Caogen.

Lin Caogen was taken aback and asked, "Brother Yang, is the armor you're talking about this belt?"

Yang Guo nodded and said, "That's right. I've cleared the binding information here. When you drop your blood on it, it will automatically bind to your DNA nucleic acid chain. No one else can activate it except you. Give it a try!"

Yang Guo flicked his finger, and a flash of silver light appeared. Lin Caogen's finger was pricked by a sharp needle, and blood immediately flowed out.

Lin Caogen dripped his blood onto the black and gold belt, and immediately a red light shone forth.

Yang Guo said, "The armor has recognized its master. Tie the belt around your waist and use your mind to control it to activate."

Upon hearing this, Lin Caogen couldn't wait to try it.

In an instant, the belt began to extend and change, transforming from Lin Caogen's waist into a suit of armor covering his body. In less than three seconds, Lin Caogen had become a black and gold robot.

Lin Caogen was overjoyed. This armor was incredibly useful, even better than Iron Man in the movies.

Yang Guo said, "Kid, this armor is severely damaged. Besides losing its powerful attack capabilities, its energy system is almost destroyed. Normally, it automatically absorbs energy from heaven and earth to replenish itself, but the speed is extremely slow. A year's worth of energy can only support it to fight for about three minutes. You should put it away now to avoid wasting energy."

Lin Caogen was speechless for a moment, then immediately put away the black and gold armor.

What a perfectly good weapon has become a broken piece; it takes a year to charge up and can only be used for three minutes.

Yang Guo commanded the warship to speed towards the Immortal Gang Continent. Several days later, the thousand-meter-long warship finally landed on the third ring of the Immortal Gang Continent.

Opening the warship's hatch, Lin Caogen, filled with immense excitement, trembled as he stepped out of the warship.

The moment he set foot on the soil of the Immortal Continent, he shouted, "Hahahaha! Yeah!!!! This is one small step for me, a megastepage! But one giant leap for mankind! It's amazing! Yeah! Hahahahaha!!!"

The euphoria lasted no more than three seconds before Lin Caogen fell to the ground, his white teeth covered in mud.

Yang Guo laughed and said, "Boy, although this Immortal Continent is round like a disc, unlike the spheres of your Earth, it still has gravity, and the gravity is more than ten times that of Earth. If you hadn't taken the pills I gave you, and if I hadn't used my immortal power to cleanse your marrow these past few days, you wouldn't have been able to resist the gravity of this Immortal Continent at all, and your bones would probably have shattered long ago!"

Lin Caogen struggled to his feet and said, "It was my carelessness! I didn't expect it to be so difficult to walk even a few steps in this Immortal Continent. But the air here is so fresh and unique. I feel like every pore of my body wants to open up and greedily take a few breaths."

Yang Guo nodded and said, "That's right! 90% of the immortal energy in the entire Immortal Realm is concentrated on this Immortal Gang Continent. It's as difficult as ascending to heaven to cultivate immortality in other places. However, the satellite continents around the Immortal Gang Continent also have immortal energy, although not much, but they have nurtured several major forces. When you arrive in Zhongzhou in the future, you will gradually understand this Immortal Gang Continent. You must remember that now that you are standing on this Three Rings Continent, you must grow up as soon as possible. Staying in the Three Rings for your whole life will not lead to a future."

Lin Caogen listened to Yang Guo's earnest teachings and kept them in mind.

Yang Guo continued, “In cultivating immortality, the first three steps are extremely important. The first step is body refinement. Only after reaching the tenth level of body refinement can one enter the Meridian Condensation stage, and after reaching the tenth level of Meridian Condensation, one can enter the Core Formation stage. Strictly speaking, each stage is endless. However, some cultivators, in order to enter the next stage as soon as possible, often stop cultivating the techniques of the previous stage. Yet, without entering the next stage, one's strength cannot improve. This is a very contradictory topic. You will understand what I'm saying in your future cultivation.”

Lin Caogen nodded and said, "Brother Yang, I roughly understand what you mean. Laying a solid foundation is very important. The next step in cultivation requires a solid foundation for the previous step, but there is no end to building a solid foundation for the previous step. The most important thing is to grasp the right balance!"

Yang Guo laughed, "That's right, you're absolutely right! Each stage of cultivation requires a corresponding cultivation technique! Body Refinement has its own techniques, Meridian Condensation has its own, and Core Formation has its own! But in the Immortal Realm, cultivation techniques are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Each level is further divided into beginner, intermediate, advanced, and top-tier. Whether it's your Third Ring or Central Continent, Heaven-rank techniques are rare treasures. I'm giving you a set of top-tier Heaven-rank Body Refinement techniques as a parting gift! You must remember, although this set of techniques is only for the Body Refinement stage, which is the lowest level, it is still a top-tier Heaven-rank technique. Even the Immortal Emperors of Central Continent would be interested in this technique, do you understand?"

Lin Caogen was shocked. He knew this was a very important gift, and he also understood the saying that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

Yang Guo took out a jade slip, then waved his hand, sending the jade slip rushing into Lin Caogen's sea of ​​consciousness and disappearing. Lin Caogen felt a massive amount of information rushing into his brain; the contents of the Body Refining Technique were directly engraved into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Yang Guo continued, "Originally, I should have given you the cultivation techniques for the Qi Condensation and Core Formation stages, but after ten thousand years of cultivation, I still haven't found any Heaven-rank techniques for those stages. These Heaven-rank techniques are kept within the powerful families of the Central Continent and are not passed on to outsiders. The top-tier Heaven-rank techniques are possessed only by Immortal Emperors. But remember this: all powerful individuals cultivate from the outer rings to reach the Central Continent step by step, and Immortal Emperors are no exception. Therefore, there must be cultivation techniques left behind by peerless experts on the Three Rings Continent. My eagerness for quick success back then has led to my current stagnation in cultivation. Do you understand what I mean?"
