The second time was when he had just ascended to the Immortal Realm, and it was the same.
However, unlike the first time, he was filled with curiosity and wonder about the immortal realm, a feeling that far outweighed his loneliness and confusion.
Therefore, he was able to face this entirely new world with such composure.
However, just now, when he saw the "Immortal Yuan" in the picture, the situation was completely different.
Aside from loneliness, confusion, and despair, he could no longer sense any other emotions from that figure.
Thinking of this, a strange sense of panic suddenly welled up in Yuan Zhexian's heart.
He realized that what made the "him" in the picture so painful and desperate was...
There is only one possibility.
That means all his relatives have perished, or rather, all those who knew of his existence have ceased to exist.
Only in this way could he feel so lonely, confused, and desperate.
This thought flashed through Yuan Zhexian's mind like a lightning bolt.
Does this make him start to re-examine whether what he has been adhering to all along is correct?
Is this what they call the invincible path?
Is it really only in solitude and loneliness that one can reach the state of invincibility?
Yuan Zhexian fell into deep thought.
"So the so-called invincible path is nothing but a lonely and desolate one!"
He muttered to himself, his heart filled with doubt and confusion.
Even if you were truly invincible, so what?
Yuan Zhexian continued to ponder.
"What's the point of being invincible if I have no family, no friends, and no one to share my joys and sorrows?"
Yuan Zhexian gazed silently at the void before him, as if he could see the long river of time flowing slowly by.
His relatives and friends, those who had spent countless hours with him.
Now, under the erosion of time, they have gradually turned into dust and disappeared into this world.
Even though he has reached the highest realm, capable of reversing the rules of the universe and pulling them back from the brink of death.
But what can we do about it?
Ultimately, he could not escape the cycle of life and death, and could only slowly perish over the endless years.
So what is the point of my relentless pursuit of the path to invincibility?
Is it to face that endless loneliness?
Or will they gradually lose themselves over the long course of time, eventually vanishing into nothingness and becoming the greatest catastrophe in the universe?
Yuan Zhexian's thoughts surged like a tidal wave as he began to recall the starting point of his cultivation journey.
At that time, the Ninth Patriarch asked him what the purpose of cultivation was.
His answer was so firm: "To protect the people I want to protect, and to protect my family."
At the same time, he also longs to challenge himself and reach the strongest, the ultimate level.
However, now that our relatives and friends are disappearing one by one over the endless years, what kind of protection is this?
He suddenly realized that only eternity and immortality are the true path.
Only by transcending this can one truly protect everything that he cherishes.
Only eternity can endure, only eternity can transcend.
The path to eternity is the path to invincibility; however, the path to invincibility is not the path to eternity.
When Yuan Zhexian realized this, his Dao heart was as if illuminated by a bright mirror, and he suddenly became enlightened.
At that very moment, a fierce aura suddenly surged from Yuan Zhexian's body, rising continuously like a surging wave.
This aura was like a volcanic eruption, fiery and powerful, seemingly about to break free from the constraints of his body.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Zhexian's body suddenly emitted a strong golden light, as dazzling as the sun in the sky.
The light was so dazzling that it seemed to penetrate the entire world, making it impossible to look directly at it.
At the same time, Yuan Zhexian's cultivation level also changed in that instant.
He was originally at the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm, but now he has broken through in one fell swoop and directly advanced to the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm!
Moreover, the Dao Stone also underwent a change due to Yuan Zhexian's sudden enlightenment.
The once incredibly solid stone now began to develop fine cracks.
These cracks spread rapidly, eventually causing the Dao Stone to shatter directly, turning into countless tiny fragments that disappeared into the world.
Yuan Zhexian slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body and the clear Dao heart, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.
He realized that he had successfully perfected his Dao, and his cultivation level had been promoted as a result.
Yuan Zhexian was very satisfied with his trip to the secret realm.
However, just as he was immersed in joy, images of what he saw in the future suddenly appeared in his mind.
This instantly made his mood heavy.
Who exactly is that being confronting me?
Yuan Zhexian was filled with doubt and worry.
In that scene, he could clearly feel the immense pressure "he" was under, a feeling he had never experienced since birth.
Even when he had just ascended to the Immortal Realm and faced numerous Immortal Kings, he had never felt such immense pressure.
However, he felt a little more relaxed when he thought about the second future scenario.
From that scene, he saw his future self successfully avert that cataclysmic disaster. This brought him a sense of relief, since the final outcome was ultimately good.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhexian shook his head and muttered to himself, "Why think so much? Things will work themselves out!"
"Now all I need to do is focus on my cultivation and continuously improve my strength."
