Chapter 1261 The Shadow of Advancing in the Blink of an Eye

For the [Immortal Realm]

What is the essence of the most basic realm?
A: Immortality.

Just as the names of the various realms represent the fundamental essence of the corresponding realms.

As a realm capable of longevity and enduring vision, the [Eternal Life Realm] is naturally the same.

When cultivators in the main timeline reach this realm, they automatically acquire the corresponding basic characteristics, making them transcend the mundane world. Even the mighty power of time cannot easily wear down their lives.

Take the physical aspect, for example.

Under the effect of that trait.

The cells inside a cultivator's body automatically acquire the characteristic of immortality.

Unless there is an external force forcibly destroying it, or the cultivator himself has a related need.

Otherwise, the cells in the opponent's body, from the moment the opponent advances, will no longer age like ordinary things, but will become able to maintain their own vitality and health by absorbing various energies, thus always keeping themselves in their prime.

The same reason.

The same applies to the soul.

Unless it is a time-related power with special enhancements or a special situation occurs, even under the continuous influence of the power of time, the souls of each [Eternal Life Realm] can remain in their peak state forever, without natural wear and tear, and without any upper limit on lifespan.

This is why the "Eternal Realm" is widely regarded as a realm with a very special meaning.

most of the time.

In the main timeline, the so-called "gods," "immortals," and "demons" actually refer to beings at the "Eternal Life Realm" and above.

Bottom line.

An infinite lifespan is one of the most fundamental and powerful pursuits of all living beings.

This applies to everything from intelligent beings with independent personalities to various brainless insects.

Once you acquire the relevant traits and possess the corresponding level of power, even if you were originally just a mortal, everyone will assume that you have become a more advanced and special life form.

No other reason is needed.

The mere mention of "immortals" is enough to quell most of the discontent.

If you could gain both agelessness and immortality, it would undoubtedly be considered extremely sacred.

after all.

The concept of "immortality," which is perfect and unchanging due to any factors, is, to some extent, already the limit of everyone's imagination.

Only the omniscient and omnipotent can be more representative and authoritative.

Therefore, for all things in the world, even something that is extremely imperfect and will perish due to other factors, such as "immortality," is entirely worthy of the word "great."

now.

Ling Wuyuan has already obtained the ticket to [immortality]. As long as there is no external interference, he can easily live for countless years. Even the next step, [immortality], is not far away, just as he told Yan Xiujin before. In fact, ever since he awakened the special ability of [gray mist transformation], the so-called [immortality] has already begun to show signs in him.

That is a special ability that is almost impossible for ordinary things to solve.

Whether it's an energy attack, a physical attack, a soul attack, or any other attack based on profound and mysterious rules... [Gray Mist] can effectively defend against them all!!

Unless his opponent can truly exhaust all of Ling Wuyuan's energy reserves through a head-on confrontation, forcing him to the point of being completely out of resources, he is a genuine immortal! As Ling Wuyuan successfully reached the [Eternal Life Realm], while the life force within his body continued to increase and strengthen, he could easily feel that his [immortality] was also increasing day by day. Not to mention that he himself was on the field, even just a clone that carried some of his characteristics could display an immortality that would give Ke Mingyu and the others a headache.

Can't be beaten to death...

They're practically indestructible!!

Even though I've already crushed him to dust thousands of times on the spot, he still just won't die!!
That situation drove Ke Mingyu and the others to despair, leaving them with no choice but to forcibly suppress Ling Wuyuan's immortality by detonating the [Immortal King Mark].

To understand.

Under normal circumstances.

When someone in the "Eternal Life Realm" not only achieves "immortality" but also successfully condenses "undying nature," and their internal power has reached the corresponding level, they will begin to advance to the "Undying Realm."

however.

The immortality possessed by a normal [Undying Realm] is far inferior to that of Ling Wuyuan's original body, and even compared to Ling Wuyuan's clone, it is extremely difficult.

That is the "immortality" that can still be restored even after being reduced to ashes countless times.

With this level of immortality, coupled with his fully capable power, if Ling Wuyuan were willing, he could advance to the Undying Realm on the spot, not just in a year or two, but even right now.

However, Ling Wuyuan was not satisfied with the status quo at all.

What he wants is definitely more than just this level of power and foundation.

He wants everything to be perfect, beyond any possibility of improvement!
So the one or two years he mentioned to Yan Xiujin was less about advancement and more about self-improvement. As for advancement, he could do it anytime.

Even when he had just advanced to the [Eternal Realm], Ling Wuyuan was able to achieve two advancements at once, a so-called "skip-level," because he fully met all the basic conditions. However, this behavior did not benefit Ling Wuyuan's future in the slightest; at most, it would only give Ling Wuyuan a rare achievement.

It sounds impressive, but in reality, it has purely negative effects.

of course.

Although Ling Wuyuan doesn't want to advance quickly at all, his exceptional talent means that even if he does nothing, the spiritual energy he automatically absorbs will continuously propel him forward.

In this regard.

All Ling Wuyuan could do was continuously compress and purify the true essence within his body, and try to increase the amount of true essence he could contain.

However, the true essence within Ling Wuyuan's body was already extremely pure...

It was so pure that even those considered strong within the Undying Realm, let alone ordinary Undying Realm cultivators, would exclaim, "Holy crap! Ice!!" upon seeing it.

As for the true essence quantity?
That surpasses the ordinary [Undying Realm] many times over...

After reaching this level.

For Ling Wuyuan to continue compressing and purifying his own true essence and the amount of true essence was by no means easy; the difficulty was even far greater than that of an ordinary [Undying Realm] wanting to advance to the [Reverse Fate Realm].

Fortunately.

Ling Wuyuan's knowledge and skills are indeed countless, far exceeding the imagination of other cultivators at the same level. In addition, he has various special abilities that can provide corresponding assistance, so he is still able to remain calm and not advance on the spot in the blink of an eye.

All I can say is that his troubles and worries are something outsiders can't truly understand.

Others are forced to progress by facing a life-or-death crisis.

The shadow of advancement constantly haunted him, forcing him to continuously innovate.
