A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 661 Refining the False into the Real for Immortality

As Dao Ancestor Yunding looked at the Blood Phoenix undergoing its tribulation, the joy in his eyes was undisguised.

The path undertaken by the "Spiritual Root Method" cultivation system is extremely powerful and is favored by the rules of the heavens, but it has always had many problems.

Although there are higher realms after the King Realm, and theoretically there is no problem in truly achieving them, there is absolutely no hope at present. It is as if once you embark on the journey, you are on an endless road with no hope of reaching the end.

Even Zhenyuan Daozu, who pioneered this cultivation system, is still traversing it and has not yet seen any sign of reaching the end.

In terms of the essence of life, this supreme Dao Ancestor, who has been cultivating in seclusion in the depths of the Boundary Sea, has almost transcended the King Realm, but he is unable to reach the highest level of the road. He is said to be in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm between the two, but he is still bound by the King Realm. He can only be said to have the combat power equivalent to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

The path he pioneered, as the patriarch of this branch of the "Spiritual Root Method" cultivation system, also has many irreparable flaws.

Going higher not only has the inherent flaws of the "Spiritual Root Method," but now, like Zhenyuan Daozu, it has embarked on a path with no hope of reaching its end. Moreover, in the realm of True Immortals and below, the "Spiritual Root Method - Artifact Immortal Branch" cultivation system has an extremely narrow coverage, and the lower part of the human realm can even be said to be severely flawed.

It wasn't that Ancestor Yunding didn't want to make amends; it was the limitations imposed by his origins as a Quasi-Immortal King artifact and the King Realm height he reached after transforming into an Immortal King artifact after opening the Dao that prevented him from having a personal understanding of human beings, and from comprehending the special state of mind of someone on the verge of death, struggling desperately to gain a glimmer of hope.

The appearance of a supreme ruler who has lived four lifetimes and transformed himself into a weapon—how could Ancestor Yunding not be overjoyed?

This means that the "Secret Realm Method" can directly connect to the "Spiritual Root Method - Immortal Weapon Branch," which is equivalent to the cultivation system he himself created. It belongs to the bottom layer of the human realm and has been directly perfected, which is of great benefit to him, the founder of the Dao.

When the future Dao Ancestor Zhenyuan reaches the end of this road, it will no longer be an incomplete road at the halfway point. Whether it is the "Spiritual Root Method" or the various branch cultivation systems derived from it, it will all be transformed into a powerful, complete cultivation system that allows countless beings to have a glimmer of hope to reach the highest level at the end of the road.

The consciousness of Ancestor Yunding looked at the Celestial Venerable of Longevity and sighed slightly, "With the immortal grotto-heavens that have already been opened, you had the potential to become a Dao Ancestor who opened up the 'Spiritual Root Method' branch of cultivation system. It's just a pity that you ultimately chose the 'Secret Realm Method'."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity bowed respectfully to Ancestor Yun Ding.

Back then, he cultivated both the "Secret Realm Method" and the "Spiritual Root Method" simultaneously, and lived through nine lifetimes in the Dharma-ending Universe with both systems, attaining the quasi-Immortal King status and building an Immortal Cave Heaven within his body. During this transformation process, he received considerable support from Ancestor Yunding.

But just as Ancestor Yunding said, he ultimately chose the "Secret Realm Method" to break through to the Immortal King level.

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity looked at Ancestor Yunding seriously and said, “Ancestor, you know that the time required for the immortal grotto-heaven cultivated by the ‘Spiritual Root Method’ to evolve into a great universe is far too long. Even with all kinds of resources for enlightenment, it may take me tens of millions of years to have any hope of taking that step. The ‘Secret Realm Method’ is the best choice for me to become an Immortal King.”

Immediately afterward, the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable said with a smile, "Moreover, I haven't completely abandoned the 'Spiritual Root Method.' I've been continuously promoting the evolution of the great universe within my body, so I can also be considered a member of the Spiritual Root Method cultivation system." A wisp of Zhou Tian Qi drifted over, manifesting the figure of the Carefree Celestial Venerable. He looked at the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable and clicked his tongue in annoyance, "You're using the 'Immortal Dao Cave Heaven' as your own 'Sixth Secret Realm,' becoming a king in one step and proving yourself to be an unparalleled giant, while you're still using the name of the 'Spiritual Root Method' lineage to try and seize a wisp of fortune. That's a bit shameless."

The Celestial Venerable of Longevity raised the corners of his mouth slightly, without refuting, but simply stating, "The microcosm of the human body cultivated by the 'Secret Realm Method' is 'false,' while the immortal grotto-heaven cultivated by the 'Spiritual Root Method' is 'true.' What's wrong with walking one's own path to longevity between the true and the false?"

"The rules of the heavens acknowledged it, and they bestowed upon me a creation tribulation that lasted for a hundred years. In the instant after I attained the King Realm, I traversed it with the power of an unparalleled giant."

"My self-created 'Sixth Secret Realm: Refining the False into the True for Immortality' is a brilliant fruit borne from the essence of two cultivation systems."

"If one day I attain the supreme Dao fruit, I will naturally be the supreme Dao ancestor revered by both the 'Secret Realm Method' and the 'Spiritual Root Method'."

The consciousnesses of the hundreds of Immortal Kings present trembled slightly upon arriving at this place. Several young Immortal Kings who had recently advanced in their cultivation looked at the Eternal Heavenly Venerable with their filters shattered and their faces almost blank. Among the many Immortal Kings, the Boundless Heavenly Venerable also trembled slightly, covered his face with his hands, and sighed repeatedly.

In recent years, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity has become increasingly shameless. In order to obtain things that can enhance his cultivation, he not only frantically uses aliases to travel among various lineages and jumps between Taoism and Buddhism, but now he doesn't even bother to pretend and directly uses his true form to try to straddle two different cultivation systems and seize a wisp of the system's great fortune.

Sensing the disdainful yet slightly amazed gazes he cast upon the kings of numerous immortal dynasties, the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable sneered inwardly several times.

As times progress, the Spirit Realm has brought forth resources that were previously difficult to obtain in all the heavens and myriad realms, providing powerful sustenance for the paths cultivated by the kings. However, truly good things, or rather, good things that are easy to obtain and helpful to the supreme giants, are few and far between.

The remaining resources are either extremely difficult to obtain, requiring the combined efforts of all the kings to finally divide up only a tiny fraction, or they are unique, unreplicable, and difficult for others to utilize. To encounter them, one can only hope to try one's luck when the Boundary Sea and Chaos are in motion.

If I hadn't sacrificed my pride, it would have been absolutely impossible for my cultivation to advance to such a level, to the point where I could almost attempt to merge with the "Sixth Secret Realm."

Therefore, every penny counts when conditions permit.

With a smile, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity suggested to Ancestor Yunding, "Now that Blood Phoenix is ​​almost at the Immortal King realm, I think he needs a teacher to instruct him on the many Immortal King techniques of the 'Spiritual Root Method' and answer many of his doubts about cultivation."

"Ancestor, as the supreme Dao Ancestor, you bear the heavy responsibility of paving the way. Why not let me, a King Realm cultivator of the 'Spiritual Root Method,' provide some guidance?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the kings present turned ashen.

The Celestial Venerable of Immortality wants to reap the rewards!
