Destiny is ashes

Chapter 977 Dual Immortal Careers
"As for you..."

At this point, Fu Xie's tone became serious: "An Jing, to be honest, in all my experience, I have never seen anyone like you in my entire life..."

"The Four Righteous Paths represent the highest achievements in four fields."

"With the spirit as its core, the nature is eternal and the soul is everlasting."

"With [Life Qi] as its core, [Life Accumulation is Boundless, Power Source is Limitless]".

"With [techniques] as its core, the law is boundless and the techniques are infinite."

"With [Spiritual Fiend] as its core, [Boundless Spiritual Vastness, Limitless Harmony of Qi]."

"The essence is immortal, the soul is endless; the soul is neither obscured nor forgotten, it will not disintegrate or be forgotten. As long as you are not shattered and obliterated by a great power at the [Dao Lord] or [Above the Sky] realm, as long as you have left a trace of spiritual essence, thoughts and inheritance somewhere in the world, you will never truly die. At most, you will go to the underworld a few times. In each reincarnation, the fragments of your soul will gather and repair with the passage of time, and eventually you will be revived as a complete you, immortal and without end."

"Life is boundless, strength is limitless; life and strength never decay or decline, the body is incomparably strong, and will grow stronger endlessly with training, never regressing. Although simple, it is the most unadorned and powerful, capable of accumulating power infinitely, without limit or limit!"

"The law is limitless, and the techniques are infinite; the techniques are unblemished and uncorrupted, and the skills have reached the pinnacle. Holding this path, all 'flaws' are clearly visible, and cultivation is equally unblemished, without any flaws. Any technique can be learned at a glance and understood with a single touch. Even the most ordinary technique will eventually evolve into an entire system and even the great principles of the Dao in one's hands, limitless and infinite!"

"Finally, the spirit is boundless and the energy is limitless; the spiritual energy held is immovable and indestructible. Simply put, no one can take away the control of the spiritual energy of the holder of this path. And when the holder uses any magic or divine power, the spiritual energy consumed will return to the body in the first instant, as if it had never been consumed."

"Although it is true that it will be exhausted, the premise is that the holder of this technique uses all of his spiritual energy to maintain the entire continuously operating array. In this case, he may exhaust his spiritual energy, but even if they die, the array and spell effects maintained by their spiritual energy will continue forever, and may even expand on their own, without limits!"

"This final 'boundless spirit, limitless energy' sounds a lot like the 'grotto heavens' that some peak-level Manifestation True Monarchs transformed into after their fall."

You Ruhui listened with great interest, absorbing the knowledge of the immortal path. She asked, "The cave heaven will continue to expand and be maintained eternally. Could it be that this is the martial arts true lord who has comprehended the Dao of the Spirit?"

"Yes."

Fu Xie nodded: "Actually, the special thing about martial arts is this. Probably because of the requirements of the Heavenly Dao, the immortal works and true meanings of heaven and earth of most martial arts True Monarchs are the 'Way of Spirit'. Of course, there are other true meanings of heaven and earth, but in my observation, the Way of Spirit is still the most common."

"The elements corresponding to these four righteous paths..."

An Jing frowned: "This sounds..."

"Isn't it just the Tenth Level of the Celestial Venerable's Saintly Realm?"

The Celestial Venerable's Ten Sacred Realms: [Immortal and indestructible], [Unmoving and unblemished], [Indestructible and unregressive], [Untainted and unfallen], [Unhindered and unobstructed].

The four cardinal paths correspond to the other eight paths besides the "immortal and indestructible," which is clearly not a coincidence.

"You're right."

Fu Xie agreed, saying, "The entire Dao Embryo and Nascent Soul realm of the Immortal Path is centered on the Immortal Achievements one has attained, gradually sublimating the two truly corresponding elements."

"Immortal achievements are seeds. Although they are already incredibly powerful, they are ultimately limited to one place and have their limits. They still rely on the power of heaven and earth."

"The Dao Embryo and Nascent Soul must nurture this seed of the Great Dao, cultivating it into a truly solid 'self-path' comparable to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth—that is, the three great achievements of [the law gives rise to all things and myriad wonders], [the divine is present without relying on heavenly favor], and [the Dao is eternally constant when one severs one's own body]."

"Since then, the 'Dao Form' has manifested, the 'Primordial Spirit' has been realized, and the path to [Immortality and Indestructibility] has begun." A [Primordial Spirit Celestial Venerable] who has initially stepped into the Celestial Venerable realm will have at least two Saint Realms, which are the Saint Realms corresponding to the immortal cultivation they have undertaken.

Once they are perfected, they will become the Four Sacred Realms, which are the [Immortal and Indestructible] that are used by all Heavenly Venerables.

Afterwards, if one wants to make further progress, one either needs to have already attained multiple [Immortal Deeds], so continue to nurture the Immortal Seed and attain the Saint Realm, or one needs to go back to cultivation and comprehend the Immortal Deeds.

In short, if a Celestial Venerable of the New Immortal Path wants to achieve perfection, they must...

"The four immortals have all attained enlightenment."

An Jing frowned, feeling the task was daunting: "This is so difficult."

"Is it difficult? Yes, it is!"

Fu Xie's tone became strange: "This is what I said before, I've never seen such a strange person in my life."

"Because, with your Immortal Purple Mansion and Martial Vein, you already possess 'Immortal Achievements'!"

"The sword strike 'Autumn Silence' you just used against that Yinglong has already begun to subtly confirm the essence of the Golden Core Divine Power 'Autumn Sound' of Taibai Haoling Divine Restriction, which contains the 'Way of Nature'!"

"This is already a Golden Core peak level technique, and it's also a divine treasure trump card. He only used a True Spirit Armor equivalent to an ordinary Golden Core divine power, while you've already unleashed your Golden Core peak immortal sword. It would be strange if he wasn't instantly killed by your aura, right?"

"The Way of Sex?"

An Jing was slightly taken aback. He raised his hand and said with some puzzlement, "I thought it was the 'Way of Law'!"

“That’s what makes it even more incredible,” Fu Xie sighed. “Because you truly have—you have two immortal careers.”

"Generally speaking, strength and realm are matched. As I have said before, the classics and such will teach you to the level of immortality, that is, the level of manifesting the golden elixir, which is actually close to the limit. After that, you have to comprehend it on your own."

"An Jing, have you noticed that since you arrived at the Immortal Purple Mansion, you can easily create many magical techniques and supernatural abilities?"

An Jing thought about it and felt it was true: "It's much easier than before. Before, it would take me a day or two to figure it out, but now I can do it with just one glance."

“That’s right,” Fu Xie said solemnly. “You are the reincarnation of the ‘Innate Path of Law,’ and you have an incredibly keen ability to observe and replicate. However, you cannot see the flow of spiritual energy and its subtle details, so it takes you a long time to understand it.”

"Now that you are a real person, you have the ability to directly observe and transform the world. In this way, you have become a complete being... a monstrous existence who can easily break through to the Golden Core stage even with the harsh standards of the old immortal path."

"but……"

At this point, even Fu Xie felt somewhat dazed: "You also created the Path of the Grotto Heaven."

"Your soul has become the spirit of the grotto-heaven, and you are unaware of the grotto-heaven's Dao. But in reality, this is a method of cultivating the 'path of nature'—unbeknownst to you, you have already achieved 'immortality of nature and endlessness of soul'!"

"You already possess two immortal skills!"
