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

at the same time.

All the cultivators belonging to the Yinming Cave were shrouded in an obscure light, and a grand will stuffed a lot of information into their minds.

The underworld.

The second floor of a wooden house.

Zhu Yu stared in astonishment at the obscure light enveloping him. Before he could investigate, he sensed a powerful thought attempting to invade his mind.

[Warning: You have been invaded by a strange force...]

[Information being collected... Already collected...]

"Um?"

Zhu Yu frowned, sensing the grand will receding. With a slight thought, he accepted the information recorded by the Eye of True Sight.

boom...

A surge of unfamiliar information welled up from the depths of my mind.

A short while passed.

"Mirror of the Universe, project..."

After learning the information, Zhu Yu opened his eyes and looked at the dim light around him that had not diminished in the slightest. His expression was a mixture of shock and excitement.

According to the information in my mind, that is, what the "Great Thousand Mirror" says.

When the Lord of the Palace, True Person Yinming, was traveling in the Heavenly Abyss, he was unexpectedly trapped in a spiritual ruin. Due to its special nature, the Dao beacon left in the Yinming Spiritual Ruins was too small to guide the True Person back.

The "Great Thousand Mirror" intends to send all its disciples belonging to the Yinming Cave to that Spirit Ruins. Its goal is simple: to obtain the origin of this world as much as possible.

The more Origin you acquire, the greater the reward.

Including, but not limited to, superior methods, foundation-building spiritual objects…

Besides.

It contains information about cross-industry collaboration.

It's impossible for the physical body to cross over; the "Great Thousand Mirror" doesn't have that ability, but it's not a dangerous soul-crossing either.

Instead, it is a ring constructed by cultivators using divine soul particles.

To put it simply, the "Great Thousand Mirror" can project the rings constructed by cultivators into the alien spiritual realms through the connection of Dao beacons.

Due to the special nature of the "ring", before it is deployed, the cultivator can inhabit part of his consciousness into it, which is equivalent to splitting his soul.

In this way, even if something goes wrong, at most some divine soul particles will be lost, and some consciousness will be damaged, but it can be recovered quickly.

However, the "ring" does not necessarily have to be placed there entirely; you can also choose to build a second ring and place it there.

However, the smaller the ring is, the weaker the consciousness it carries. Furthermore, once it enters the outer realm spirit ruins, it may not even find a suitable vessel to inhabit before being assimilated by the spirit ruins and suffering a wasted effort.

Although the "Great Thousand Mirror" did not specify the size of the ring to be thrown, it warned everyone that the Spirit Ruins were very likely to be a large Spirit Ruins, and that throwing a ring that was too small would be a waste.

As for how to return.

The ring is marked with the "Great Thousand Mirror". Once activated, it can guide you back to the Yinming Spirit Ruins. However, if you do not obtain the origin of the Spirit Ruins, the "Great Thousand Mirror" will ignore you.

"It feels like the Heavenly Dao Sect's cultivation path is just preparation for being deployed to otherworldly spiritual realms..."

Zhu Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head and stopped thinking about it, pondering how many divine soul particles should be used to construct the ring for deployment.

It has been half a month since the last breakthrough.

Through his diligent cultivation, in addition to building three hundred soul particles at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, he has accumulated more than two hundred and forty soul particles.

I was hoping to accumulate more experience and break through to the late stage of Qi Refining in one fell swoop.

It seems we'll have to wait a bit longer...

"Fine, let's release 240 of them..."

Zhu Yu didn't dwell on it too much. He made up his mind, sat cross-legged on the soft couch, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to construct the second ring.

The process went unexpectedly smoothly.

The second ring was quickly constructed. The two rings faced each other and did not repel each other, but rather blended together harmoniously.

"As expected, the Heavenly Dao Sect's path is precisely in preparation for deploying to the alien spiritual ruins..."

Seeing this, Zhu Yu sighed inwardly. He used his divine sense to suppress the ring, preventing it from absorbing and refining spiritual energy. His gaze fell on a ring that was noticeably larger and had a deeper color, or rather, the corpse beetle and clover residing inside it.

Suddenly, I was caught in a dilemma again.

"Should we bring the Dharma seed with us?"

If a spirit is placed in a foreign realm and carries spiritual power imprinted with the aura of this realm, it will be instantly destroyed by the spirit realm. However, the seed of a law is different. It conforms to the laws of heaven and earth, just like a drop of water merging into a lake, making it difficult to detect.

Having it by your side at that time will at least provide some protection.

However, if one falls into the Spirit Ruins, the seed of the Dharma will naturally be lost.

"Qingping Spirit Ruins..."

Zhu Yu looked at the emerald green clover and vaguely understood what the greatest value of the Qingping Spirit Ruins cultivators was.

That is to provide the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect with the seed of magic needed to be deployed to the outer realms. In this way, they can both preserve their own seed of magic and have some self-protection power in the early stages.

"No wonder the sect hasn't given up after all these years of fighting..."

"If we nurture a large number of Qingping Sect cultivators, perhaps we will no longer have to worry about a lack of Dharma seeds to drive them when they are sent to other realms in the future..."

For a moment, his thoughts were racing.

"Could it be that the Qingping Sect was also accidentally discovered by a cultivator from the Heavenly Dao Sect who released a ring?"

According to the information left by "Daqianjing".

There are many ways to send something to the outer realms, the most common and also the most cumbersome method being to throw the ring out of the divine sea. Depending on the amount of divine soul particles it contains, the time it can exist in the Heavenly Abyss is uncertain, and one has to rely entirely on luck to find the hidden spirit ruins of the other realms.

Just as he was pondering this.

The Yinming Cave was in an uproar. In this place where many cultivators gathered, like a market, the cultivators who were learning about the alien spiritual ruins for the first time were excitedly discussing among themselves.

However, cultivators who had been to the outer realms of the spirit ruins were not so calm. A place that is suspected to be a great spirit ruin must be rich in resources. It is possible that things that are everywhere there are rare and precious in the immortal tomb spirit ruins.

As long as they survive, and can obtain the Spirit Ruins' origin again, they'll make a fortune...

As for how to bring the items back?

You can carry a few rings, and also those who have cultivated techniques like "chewing gold and eating iron." Although the number of items that can be contained in a magic seed is limited, as long as the items are precious, having fewer is still a profit.

With this in mind, the cultivators busied themselves preparing to travel to the alien spiritual ruins.

the other side.

While Zhu Yu was struggling with his decision, he received transmission talismans from Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan, both of whom carefully explained to him the possibility of the existence of the Outer Realm Spirit Ruins.

The most important point is that once you enter the Outer Realm Spirit Ruins, you must not waste even a moment; immediately find and occupy a body, whether human or beast…

Because if things drag on for too long, they might be exposed, leading to their elimination...

"It's all about favors..."

Zhu Yu took out two communication talismans from his sleeve, replied to them one by one, and after thinking about it, decided to bring the Grass Spirit Technique Seed with him.

His ability to monitor and control vegetation allows him to protect himself in the early stages, and even if the species is lost, it is only a loss of spirit stones for a corpse species.

Time passed slowly.

A full moon appeared above the dome.

The obscure light that had enveloped the cultivator suddenly intensified.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhu Yu felt an immense suction force surging from the entrance. Knowing that this was the "Great Thousand Mirror" exerting its power, he immediately pushed the ring containing a small portion of his own consciousness and the seed of the grass spirit technique upwards without hesitation.

He immediately closed his eyes and concentrated, immersing himself in another consciousness.

The world was dark and gloomy, and my consciousness felt as if it were stuffed into a drum. In just a short while, I felt dizzy and my head was about to split open.

I don't know how long it has been.

A light suddenly appeared ahead.
