In a world of pure martial arts, Yun Shou initially believed he could only live an ordinary life with the weak cheat he possessed.
That was until the age of fourteen, when he obtained a secon...
Within the extraordinary system of the Undying Divine Demon Art, there are an average of twenty to thirty such minor divine abilities per major realm.
"What kind of minor supernatural power is this? Some of these supernatural powers are comparable to the characteristics of a major realm (soul separation from the body in the Three Realms of Myriad Thoughts)!"
"Some of their supernatural abilities are even comparable to those of certain demon kings (Thorns) who have used them their entire lives!"
[From this perspective, the Undying Divine Demon Technique is simply invincible!]
So we return to the initial question: the difficulty of cultivation.
[Once upon a time, a 20,000-year-old being at the sixth realm, fifth level of cultivation, chose to rebuild this system in his sixth incarnation.]
[A twenty-thousand-year-old at the sixth realm, fifth level, represents exceptional talent. If one aspires to achieve immortality with 36 Dao Seals, the future holds the potential to reach the twentieth realm!]
[If you wish to achieve immortality with 72 Dao Seals, you may be able to ascend to more than thirty heavens in the future!]
[Because to normally advance to the seventh realm with 36 Dao Seals, the quality of each Dao Seal must be high, averaging over 5 points!]
However, if one advances with 72 Dao Seals, then the average quality of all Dao Seals only needs to be 3 points. This allows for the inclusion of simpler systems that are easier to comprehend.
[But not absolutely. With enough strength and confidence, it's possible to make all 72 Dao Seals reach a quality of 9 points, giving one's path to immortality a small but significant challenge.]
[—This sixth realm, fifth level, after preparing various resources and beginning reconstruction.]
[He cultivated for 20,000 years until he reached 50,000 years old, then, having rebuilt his body, he simply grew old and died, his lifespan ending.]
[He died at the third realm, equivalent to the third level of the Overlord realm, still within the early stage of the third realm.]
Yes, it's only the third realm, but this reborn body lived to be 30,000 years old before its lifespan ended. That's how powerful the system contained in the "Undying Divine Demon Art" is.
[That's how difficult it is!]
[A 20,000-year-old fifth-level cultivator, and he's already spent 30,000 years on this system, not only failing to cultivate the Dao Seal, but even stuck at the third realm!]
[That cultivator at the fifth level of the sixth realm endured 5000 years of stabilizing their Dao seal, but was unwilling to give up. Therefore, they chose to rebuild that system once more, believing they would surely succeed and ascend to the heavens in one step!]
He went from being 55,000 years old to 71,000 years old, returning to his previous progress.
I was so frustrated that I gave up.
[Later, this legendary figure, who had the potential to reach the twentieth or thirtieth level of the Heavenly Realm and become a trendsetter in the Imperial Domain, ultimately remained at the twelfth level...]
Without further ado, the protagonist of this year is Song Chuan!
Number of adopted sons: 13 → 14
"You only added the number of adopted sons to the main character! The rest of the word count was used to describe the difficulty of that so-called 'Undying Divine Demon Art'!"
[Year 5440.]
Peace reigned within the Yuantian Realm.
[Peace also prevailed outside the Yuan Tian Realm.]
[The beasts that showed themselves were instantly killed. Now, the five ancient immortals, as well as relatively veteran true immortals like Chu Xiao and Song Bai, have all chosen to focus solely on comprehending the Dao.]
The task of eliminating the plundering beasts was assigned to the newly promoted members.
[And then there's Xiangyang and Guts, one obsessed with battle, the other seeing it as his mission; they're used to fighting and can't stop.]
The Calamity Beasts have lost their threat to the Yuan Tian Realm. Several True Immortals are located outside the boundary wall, their spiritual power enveloping the entire Yuan Tian Realm, extending all the way to the Calamity Force Field hundreds of light-years away. Every Calamity Beast that spawns is eliminated.
Their battlefield took place within the cosmic barrier outside the boundary wall, much like two innate martial artists fighting in the soil deep within the earth, with the aftershocks of each strike absorbed by the cosmic barrier.
[For those below the True Immortal level, the cosmic membrane is an unimaginably strong fortress, impossible to break or shake for eternity.]
Even for true immortals, traversing the cosmic barriers is like a mortal traversing the air—there is still some resistance involved.
[Oh, the True Immortals mentioned above refer to the five ancient immortals from before the Yuantian Realm. By today's standards, none of them even reached the second stage of True Immortal.]
For the True Immortals of the sixth or even seventh level in the Yuantian Realm, traversing the cosmic barrier is hardly a problem; the negligible resistance is easily ignored without deliberate attention.
[In the year 5450, you feel you're about to complete the Yuantian Realm.]
[You could say this universe is nearing completion.]
[You learned about the existence of the multiverse from Yuanmingzun, and you know that there are infinite universes beyond this universe, and even a sea of nothingness.]
"Xiang Yang has made significant progress towards the seventh stage of True Immortal, possessing millions of Dao power. In this universe, he would definitely be considered a super strong individual."
"Think about it, other True Immortals live for hundreds of billions of years to increase their Dao Power by just one point. A million points of Dao Power would take billions of years!"
"Even if a True Immortal travels far and wide, broadening their horizons and increasing their chances of achieving Dao by ten thousand times, it would still take trillions of years!"
"It's hard to say whether this universe has existed for that long."
"Passing the level is definitely guaranteed. According to the original pattern, how could Bei Chenguang and Xiang Yang level up so quickly? Even if they were in the Dao Integration state, they could only reach the fourth stage of True Immortal in a thousand years."
"Right now, you never know, maybe just picking any adopted son of level five or six could easily wipe out that yet-to-appear leader of the beast raiders."
Only one worry lingers in your heart.
The calamity force field enveloping the outer layer of the Yuan Tian Realm remains unbroken, preventing Xiang Yang from seeing its principles.
[You can understand why the Dao principles are invisible, but this layer of tribulation power field might contain the status of a Dao Lord of Tribulation, which is at a very high level.]
[But it has been difficult to break through to this day... Why is that?]
This is your only worry deep down, and also the only thing that could potentially cause unforeseen changes.
"The beast... I hope it doesn't get stronger the stronger it encounters; that would be too much."
[In 5457, your cultivation system reached the Great Perfection of the Fifth Realm.]
[You're contemplating your future path. If Beichen Guang doesn't emerge soon, you'll have at most 3600 years to fully master these nine systems.]
"Or perhaps I could put in a little more effort and condense a Dao Fruit that is even more powerful, complex, and potent than the Northern Star Light."
Now, all 14 of your adopted sons (and one adopted daughter) have given you their share of the path to immortality.
The Path to Immortality is so precious that it's priceless; countless cultivators at the sixth realm desire to possess it (even though they can't possibly complete the cultivation process).
However, to say it's not precious... is indeed true. Knowledge is like that; it's a classic example of something priceless, something that can be obtained for free. Once you have permission, the only costs associated with acquiring knowledge are printing fees, internet fees, or the cost of casual conversation.
