The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

Imagery emerges one after another.

Like a tide covering the entire Lingxu.

Zhu Yu felt a sudden realization, and with a thought, he could transform all his magical power into Xuan Shui Thunder, which had the effect of breaking magic. He also vaguely sensed a space filled with thunder.

It seems that one can enter it with just a slight thought.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Domain..."

Zhu Yu sighed softly, "The 'Sea' is truly the chosen one of the 'Spiritual Marsh Secret Realm' because it can nurture the Profound Water Thunder that connects to the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Domain'..."

He consulted the "Zangfa Pavilion" for information about the "Nine Heavens Thunder Domain" and the supernatural power "Mysterious Water Thunder".

According to a book titled "Realm" from the "Twelve Celestial Alliance".

"Nine Heavens Thunder Domain" is quite similar to "Foundation Building Realm". It overlaps with "Tianyuan" or is one of the sources of thunder power generated by "Tianyuan".

If a cultivator develops lightning-attribute supernatural abilities, there is an extremely low probability that they will connect to a source of lightning-attribute power similar to the "Nine Heavens Thunder Domain".

At that time, one can draw upon the power of the "source" to transform supernatural abilities, which will then feed back to oneself and enhance one's spiritual cultivation.

of course.

If protected by a supreme treasure, one can directly elevate one's foundation into the "Nine Heavens Thunder Domain." Through the tempering of the Thunder Domain, although it is impossible to cultivate the "Native Spiritual Ruins," one can still refine the "Divine Power Domain."

Once the domain of law is cultivated...

As long as one is located in the spiritual realm radiated by the "source of lightning power" connected to it, the cultivator's strength will not be weakened in the slightest.

in short.

Power sources like the "Nine Heavens Thunder Domain" are rudimentary, scaled-down versions of the "Foundation Building Realm".

same.

"Supernatural Domain" is also a simplified and smaller version of "Natural Spirit Ruins".

According to the records in the books.

The "source of power" is as complex as the stars.

Some are large, some are small, some are strong, some are weak...

The Foundation Establishment Realm may not be the strongest among them, but it is one of the most stable, widest-ranging, and most abundant and diverse sources of power discovered by ancient cultivators.

The "Nine Heavens Thunder Domain" is also quite powerful.

In terms of offensive power, it is only slightly inferior to some extreme "sources of power" such as the "killing domain" filled with boundless killing intent and the "monster domain" filled with bizarre and distorted power.

In terms of its radiation range, it is second only to the "Foundation Building Realm".

It's just that its stability is slightly worse and its resources are limited.

Those cultivators who draw their power from this are extremely vulnerable to being struck by lightning and dying a violent death. All of them are lightning-attribute cultivators.

Despite its many flaws.

However, it remains an existence that most cultivators cannot reach.

If "Hai" were thrown into the territory of the "Twelve Heavenly Immortal Alliance," he would surely be favored by many forces due to his supernatural abilities.

After all, lightning-attribute divine abilities, which possess the power to break spells, are not only good at fighting, but also at breaking formations and restrictions. With a little training, they can be no less than a humanoid magic weapon for breaking restrictions for some forces.

It could save countless resources.

While "Water Control," which belongs to the lower-level divine abilities, is not as wondrous, it is a great supplement to Zhu Yu's "Original Spirit Ruins."

With its existence, the time required to cultivate "Fish People" will be shortened considerably, and the chances of "Fish People" awakening their innate magic will also be greater.

The "supernatural power" has been initially refined.

The imagery of "Benming Lingxu" tends towards tranquility.

Thick, dark clouds covered the sky, and occasional flashes of lightning illuminated the dim space. In a corner of the fleshy earth, a lake with surging undercurrents had accumulated.

Zhu Yu sensed it for a moment, then focused his mind on the "Source Sea".

More than a month has passed.

A shallow layer of water had accumulated at the bottom of the "Yuanhai".

Its structure is clearly divided into several clusters, among which the "Origin of the Spirit Ruins" occupies the core, with about ten clusters. The other two clusters are Yin-attribute "Wood Spirit Resentment" and "Earth Spirit Earthly Fiend" energies, each with about twenty energies.

The five elements, shrouded in vibrant colors, comprise approximately one hundred paths.

Finally, there was a cluster of "high-quality spiritual energy" full of spiritual charm.

These are the results obtained from the "source sea" filtering "channel".

It is probably because he has occupied the "channel" that most of the resources filtered by the Black Sea are inclined to the attributes used by his "natal spirit realm".

"The Origin of Lingxu" goes without saying.

This forms the basis for the derivation and expansion of "Benming Lingxu".

The Yin-attributed "Wood Spirit Resentment" and "Earth Spirit Earthly Fiend" energies are used by the "Benming Spiritual Ruins" to generate spiritual veins and spiritual energy. The essence of the Five Elements is used to stabilize the "Benming Spiritual Ruins".

"High-quality spiritual energy" is used to refine magical power.

With such resources to support it.

May I live a long and healthy life, reaching the age of a thousand.

However, if you want to improve your cultivation, you are still far from achieving this.

According to the tradition of "the immortal being who lives for a thousand autumns".

Only when the "Natal Spirit Ruins" expands to a radius of a thousand feet can one begin to develop and construct a second "Natal Spirit Ruins." Once successful, one will enter the second level of Foundation Establishment.

Their strength will increase significantly, and they will have more methods at that time.

To break through the third level of Foundation Establishment.

The first natal spirit site, the "grave," needs to extend to a radius of ten thousand feet, and the second natal spirit site, the "coffin," needs to extend to a radius of a thousand feet. Only in this way can the third natal spirit site be opened.

The three natal spirit ruins are intertwined.

His strength will undergo a qualitative transformation at that time.

He is a "Great True Man" who has attained the true teachings of Tao.

And truly possess the qualifications to climb to the "Golden Core Realm".

And all of this requires a massive amount of resources to build.

"The road ahead is arduous, but we must persevere..."

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he thought about the rare resources needed to transform his "natal spirit ruins," Zhu Yu's slightly detached mindset, which came from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, gradually calmed down.

With a slight thought, the "Origin of the Spiritual Ruins," the "Wood Spirit's Resentment, Earth Spirit's Earthly Fiend," and the "Essence of the Five Elements" accumulated in the "Source Sea" silently dispersed and merged into the "Natural Spiritual Ruins."

boom…

The "Benming Lingxu" extends outwards slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"Wood Spirit Resentment and Earth Spirit Earthly Fiend" are like dark blue and yellowish-black dragons, burrowing deep into the earth and spreading outwards with special wood-element resentment and earth-element earthly fiend spiritual energy.

The essence of the five elements disperses to the five directions, evolving into five tiny mineral veins that suppress and stabilize the "natal spiritual ruins".

The matter is over.

Zhu Yu felt much more at ease and briefly sensed the sword "Lingxiao", the protective magic weapon "Ruanwei", and the array weapon "Wanshou Tu" that were nurtured in the source of magic power.

Both "Lingxiao" and "Ruanwei" were forged from "original artifacts" and have extraordinary foundations. Therefore, under the nurturing of the spiritual magic power, the restrictions forged within them quickly and gradually merged, transforming into "Earthly Fiend Restrictions".

Once the mission is accomplished, the magical artifact will come to life and become a "spiritual artifact" possessing profound and mysterious power.

As for the "Ten Thousand Beasts Picture".

With the nurturing and tempering of magical power, its foundation has improved considerably, but it is still far from becoming a "spiritual artifact embryo".

"Hopefully, we can cultivate our strength and achieve success before the expedition..."

As soon as the thought crossed Zhu Yu's mind, his consciousness returned to his "physical body." He opened his eyes, glanced at the "group," and saw that the chat was quite lively, mostly with "Huiyue Zhenren" talking, recounting his glorious deeds in the "Abyss."

Just as he was about to close the chat group,

Suddenly, something resembling a "red envelope" from a past life appeared on the screen.

Zhu Yu's thoughts unconsciously landed on it.

next moment.

A shower of radiant flowers blooms.

A tiny black figure wearing leather armor, with an explosive figure and a charming appearance, appeared.

Several lines of text are displayed below.

"Congratulations to Yinming for successfully acquiring a Dark Elf."

Congratulations to Wind Howl for successfully snatching a Dark Goblin!

"Congratulations to Bai Ze for successfully acquiring a Dark Minotaur."

"Congratulations…"

[Wind Howls: ?]

Bai Ze: ?

Nine poems: ?

"Huiyue Zhenren": "Abyss" local specialties, please don't be shy about trying them, fellow disciples.

Junior Sister Bai Ze, the taste of the Minotaur is wonderful…

Ding! "Huiyue Zhenren" has been banned from speaking by Bai Ze for one day.

"Kiyoshi Makoto really has a childlike charm..."

Seeing this, Zhu Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. He shook his head, taking it as a joke, closed the group chat, pondered for a moment, and silently thought to himself:

"Establish a model and analyze the methods 'Three Calamities Corpse Records' and 'The Underworld Coffin'."

As soon as the thought was sent, a panel appeared.

[“Records of the Three Calamities” - From Beginner to Mastery, Analysis Progress: 1%, Estimated Analysis Time: 1/36960.]

[“The Coffin of the Underworld” - Not yet at the beginner level → Completed, Analysis progress "1%", Estimated analysis time "1/18709".]

"The Coffin of the Underworld" is the method he found to construct the "coffin" of his natal spiritual ruins.

It is a superior lineage of teachings.

It can be used to build the Dao foundation "Nether Coffin". Once cultivation is successful, it can bear and cultivate the most evil and yin energy of the Nine Netherworlds.

"A hundred years...?"

Zhu Yu nodded slightly. Since advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, his "Eye of True Sight" has also undergone a transformation, greatly increasing its analytical capabilities. Otherwise, such a comprehensive analysis would have taken at least a thousand years.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of "Canglan Lingxu" and his eyes lit up slightly.

"Should we go in one more time?...

After thinking about it, he decided to spare a moment to go in and take a look.

For no other reason than to get something for free, it would be best to get a "supernatural power" for free, but even if you can't get it, it would be good to earn some spiritual essence.

Having made up his mind, he raised his hand, plucked off a piece of his finger, and threw it out. In mid-air, flesh and blood proliferated wildly, and in just a few breaths, it formed an ordinary-looking young man.

The two exchanged a smile, then, distracted, donned their robes and turned to leave.

"It's a pity we can't give away too many..."

Zhu Yu shook his head inwardly. It seemed like he had only separated a finger, but in reality, the construction of the "divine body" had consumed a full ten percent of his "spiritual body," and this was not ordinary flesh and blood. It would take a long time to recover.

Without much thought, I closed my eyes, focused my mind, and immersed myself in meditation.

Advancement to Foundation Building.

Under the feedback of the "Native Spiritual Ruins", the soul is constantly being strengthened, and the overflowing soul power is increasing day by day.

And it transformed into divine thought,

Condensing divine soul particles becomes incredibly simple.

Even now.

He can condense up to three hundred divine soul particles every day, of which 99% are used to fill his "natal spiritual void" to stabilize and expand it.

The remaining "divine soul particles" will be stored up for future use.

The blue sun rises and falls.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Zhu Yu was preparing to go to the location of the "establishment of the government" to check on the progress, but was delayed by someone.

The living room of the palace.

Looking down at the dark elf with pointed ears and exquisite, alluring features standing awkwardly below, Zhu Yu couldn't help but be somewhat taken aback.

No.

"Shining Moon Immortal" is really something...

He initially thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be true.

Moreover, this "dark elf" has already reached the first-tier perfection level in cultivation, and is only half a step away from breaking through to the second tier.

"As expected of the sect leader, he's so generous..."

Coming to his senses, Zhu Yu sighed inwardly, then turned to look at the middle-aged man in blue robes standing respectfully to the side, and said with a smile:

"Please thank 'True Man of the Shining Moon' for me."

The middle-aged man in blue robes nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, sir. If you have nothing else to do, I will return to report to the sect leader."

Zhu Yu thought for a moment, then took out a paper packet containing spiritual food such as "Silver Acacia" from her sleeve, waved it in front of him, and said:

"Leave it to 'True Master Huiyue,' go."

"Yes, sir. I'll take my leave."

The middle-aged man in the blue robe bowed and withdrew.

Zhu Yu's gaze fell on the dark elf, and his senses enveloped the elf. Instantly, he felt waves of filthy and vile thoughts surging within him.

"Such powerful and delicious humans..."

"If Noah absorbs just a little bit, she can break through to the second tier..."

"Just a little bit..."

"..."

Zhu Yu frowned slightly and snorted coldly.

A sudden explosion rang in Noah's mind, her consciousness went blank, and when she came to her senses, two blushes suddenly rose on her delicate and charming black cheeks, and her legs... Her eyes were misty with tears.

next moment.

A low murmur suddenly broke the silence of the hall.

"ah…"

"Um?"

Zhu Yu's eyes showed surprise.

In his perception, the Dark Elf's scattered thoughts synchronized in an instant, and his desire for love surged like a tidal wave.

But that wasn't what surprised him. What surprised him was that at the moment the "dark elf's" thoughts were integrated, a wisp of high-quality energy, which he considered extremely pure and imbued with primal desire, descended and merged into its body.

Just in that brief moment.

Her cultivation level actually took a small step forward, condensing something similar to "supernatural power," but also bearing the divine mark of incense and deity.

"Abyssal deities?... "

Zhu Yu looked thoughtful.

"Abyss" is undoubtedly a Heavenly Realm Spirit Ruins, and may even be above that.

Its path differs from that of "Immortal Tomb and Spirit Ruins," and can be described as chaotic and disorderly.

But one thing is extremely strange.

That is, no matter what path the cultivators of the abyss take, they all ultimately aim to condense divinity, ignite divine fire, elevate the divine kingdom, and become "gods" who control the rules and are also bound by them.

According to Zhu Yu's understanding.

These so-called gods are henchmen created by the Great Will of the Abyss to protect itself, and they will be trapped in the Abyss forever until their demise.

But thugs are thugs.

Even the weakest "god" is ridiculously strong.

Gathering divinity and igniting divine fire, in the Dao path of "Immortal Tomb and Spirit Ruins," is the "Golden Core Realm" that condenses immortal golden nature.

The difference between the two is that...

The "Golden Core Realm" signifies immortality.

The immortal "gods" refer to the concept of "god" itself, not the individual.

"concept…"

A thought suddenly popped into Zhu Yu's mind: "If I could analyze a deity, could I seize their position?..."

Once the thought arises, it grows wildly like weeds.

Compared to the gradual cultivation of "Immortal Tomb and Spirit Ruins", this is no less than ascending to heaven in one step.

But he quickly calmed down from his excitement.

I want to analyze "gods".

First, you need a "deity," and one that won't resist.

Is that even possible?

Zhu Yu frowned, shook his head to clear his mind, and looked at the dark elf whose eyes had regained their clarity and whose face was filled with surprise, and said calmly:

"Go down and find Zhu Yi. From now on, you will be her subordinate."

After saying that, before she could speak, he raised his hand and tapped lightly. A wisp of dark magic surged out, condensing into a mark that was neither insect nor beast. It turned into a stream of light and was directly imprinted on the dark elf's brow.
