Martial Arts Crossover: Breaking the Rules Makes You Stronger, Female Benefactor, Please Wait

That is why the next realm after the Celestials is called the Land Immortal!

A living, breathing immortal in the human world!

To communicate with the heavens and earth and borrow their power is already an act against nature.

Therefore, the Way of Heaven imposes restrictions on celestial beings, who must undergo the "five signs of decay" (or "five signs of decay").

The first decline is "Qi decline".

The body's vital energy will inexplicably dissipate, and no matter how hard one cultivates, it will eventually vanish into nothingness.

In severe cases, it can even cause a significant loss of cultivation and a drop in cultivation level!

The reason is that when one first enters the realm of celestial beings, one's own true energy is difficult to integrate with the power of heaven and earth, and they repel each other.

The power of heaven and earth is of a higher level, and true qi is suppressed and dissipated, leading to unstable cultivation.

This is the first tribulation of heaven and man—the decline of vital energy.

The second type of decline is "physical decline".

The power of heaven and earth is incomparably noble, originating from heaven and earth and returning to heaven and earth. It is naturally impossible for a mortal body to forcibly control it.

Not only can it not bear the weight, but it may also suffer a backlash.

Even those with indestructible bodies, like high-ranking Buddhist monks, will gradually become weak.

The body weakens day by day until it uses its strength beyond its limit, at which point it will explode and die instantly.

This is also one of the reasons why celestial beings rarely take action.

Because such immense power of heaven and earth is simply beyond the capacity of mortal bodies to bear.

Once you survive the first two tribulations, you can enter the third stage – the decline of the orifices.

To enter the realm of the celestial beings, one must open up the acupoints within the body to draw in and store the power of heaven and earth.

During this process, because of its connection with heaven and earth, the extraordinary phenomenon of "purple aura coming from the east" often occurs.

That is a phenomenon caused by the connection between the celestial being's body and the heavens and earth.

The acupoints in the human body are originally used to store vital energy, and have always been closed.

Once opened, the true energy will be completely lost, and years of hard work will be in vain.

This is the third decline – the decline of the orifices.

The fourth type of decline is called "divine decline".

Of the three elements—essence, energy, and spirit—spirit is the master, governing everything.

After advancing to the Celestial Realm, he underwent numerous tribulations, and the power he used was mostly derived from the power of heaven and earth.

However, such power is too great, and it requires connection with heaven and earth to use.

Human consciousness cannot be fully controlled, which can easily lead to mental breakdown or even loss of self.

Ultimately, they may either go mad and die suddenly, or fall into eternal delusion.

For example, when facing this calamity, Shi Zhixuan created the "Undying Seal Technique" in an attempt to suppress the power of the vast world.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to overcome the tribulation, resulting in a significant decline in his strength.

If we delay in resolving this issue, we may not escape defeat.

The fifth realm of the celestial beings is called the decline of the spirit.

All things in the universe possess a spirit, and humankind is the most intelligent of all.

The spiritual decline is extremely mysterious and unpredictable, and may occur at any time.

Its arrival is unpredictable, often sudden, and fraught with danger.

Once it arrives, those who can overcome it will live, and those who cannot will die.

No matter how glorious or powerful someone's achievements may be, they cannot escape their fate.

The manifestations of spiritual decline vary from person to person.

In Buddhism, this is called "passing away in meditation".

He died suddenly while meditating.

Because the spirit fades away silently, leaving no trace. One moment one may be sitting in meditation, and the next moment one may be departing for the heavens.

Taoists call it "the dissolution of soldiers".

When the primordial spirit leaves the body, the soul and spirit perish, the physical body disintegrates, and all cultivation is destroyed.

Only by enduring the five tribulations of decline in Qi, body, orifices, spirit, and soul can one truly transcend the five realms of heaven and man.

After crossing the five realms, one becomes a terrestrial immortal, a legendary figure. They can roam freely across heaven and earth, transcending the rules of the mortal world.

To live as long as the heavens and have a life as enduring as the sun and moon. Its profound mystery is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people and cannot be explained by worldly principles.

He is already a true immortal in the mortal world.

For example, Indra may have already entered the realm of terrestrial immortals.

It has existed for thousands of years and may even possess the ability to reverse life and death.

There's also the immortal demon Yin Zhong, who has lived for five hundred years. His lifespan is so long that he's difficult to kill and can only be sealed away.

However, both Indra and Yin Zhong remained hidden from the world, unknown to anyone.

Because their sects operate in secrecy and rarely reveal their strength.

Indra prefers to hide in the shadows, manipulate people's hearts, and stir up the world's situation.

Yin Zhongze survived under a false identity and kept a low profile.

And Wang Xianzhi, the most renowned and strongest figure in the martial arts world, known as "the second strongest in the world," may have already reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

As for Tuoba Pusa, the military god of Northern Mang, if he follows his original destiny, he is very likely to receive divine empowerment in the future.

Once he receives guidance from an immortal, Tuoba Bodhisattva is very likely to enter the realm of terrestrial immortals.

However, he is far from reaching that threshold.

Among Nangong's enemies were Xie Guanying, Han Shengxuan, Tuoba Pusa, and Wang Xianzhi.

Apart from Wang Xianzhi, who may have already become a terrestrial immortal, the weakest of the others has now reached the third realm of celestial beings.

It seems that the road ahead is still extremely long.

Fahai came to his senses and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Having already promised to go to Beiliang to pick her up, it's time to set off.

So Fahai left the pass and went straight to the Mahavira Hall.

"Disciple Fahai greets Master."

Taixu looked at Fahai with a beaming smile, his face full of joy.

The injuries he sustained in his battles with Zhang Sanfeng and Zhuge Zhengwo have long since healed.

He looked radiant and had a rosy complexion.

All of this was thanks to Fahai's help.

Fahai's top ranking on both lists brought great prestige to Shaolin.

Taixu's face was beaming with joy, his spirits were high, and he looked exceptionally energetic.

Upon seeing Fahai enter the hall, his gaze involuntarily fell upon Fahai, scrutinizing him carefully.

He suddenly sighed softly, his face showing surprise and doubt, "Your injuries have healed so quickly?"

Before he could finish speaking, Taixu's expression changed again, his shock evident in his eyes.

"You...you actually got promoted?"

"You have already reached the sixth-grade Grandmaster realm?"

Taixu stared wide-eyed at Fahai, as if he had witnessed something incredible.

He could clearly sense that Fahai's aura was much stronger than before, clearly indicating that he had crossed the threshold of the fifth rank and officially entered the sixth rank Grandmaster realm!

Fahai has become a sixth-rank Grandmaster.

Upon hearing this, the monks in the main hall were stunned, their jaws nearly dropping in shock.

An atmosphere of shock and confusion permeated the entire hall!

"Sixth rank?!"

"How long has it been, and he's already a sixth-grade Grandmaster?"

"You were clearly a fifth-rank official when you came back before!"

"You can break through to the sixth-grade Grandmaster level just by recovering from an injury?"

The usually solemn and dignified Mahavira Hall was now filled with hushed discussions because of this news.

Among these monks, the one who was most shocked, most frustrated, and most unable to accept it was Wuhua!

At this moment, Wuhua's heart was filled with despair!

Fahai is already a sixth-grade Grandmaster!

How much time has passed?

His own cultivation progressed slowly, while Fahai soared from the Innate Realm to the Rank Six Grandmaster!

A sixth-grade Grandmaster at less than sixteen years old is nothing short of a monster!

Such talent is rare in the world!

Even if you look at the entire history of the martial arts world over the past five hundred years, it would be hard to find such a person!

Even Wang Xianzhi, the lord of Wudi City, has never possessed such astonishing talent!
