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

"righteous?"

Zhu Yu and Lu Wanrong both looked puzzled and remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

"good."

Seeing the two of them remain calm, Bai Doufu was even more satisfied. He didn't hold back and, while sharing the beef and mutton, told them everything he knew about cultivation.

The moon is at its zenith.

A cool breeze dissipated the smell of alcohol in the courtyard.

The bandits, having eaten and drunk their fill, had already left, leaving behind a mess. As newly recruited bandits, Zhu and Yu were naturally tasked with cleaning up the mess.

I tidied things up a bit.

Zhu Yu and Lu Wanrong exchanged a glance, remained silent, and each returned to their wooden huts.

Sitting in the chair, Zhu Yu recalled what Bai Doufu had said earlier and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"What a wondrous path..."

According to what Bai Doufu said.

The practice in this realm is divided into three stages.

The first stage is nurturing the divine seed. There are no great supernatural phenomena in this stage, but one's physique will gradually improve, and one will develop a unique understanding of a certain weapon or skill.

The second stage is the manifestation of divine words. Once one's physical strength has reached its limit and one's skills have reached their limit, one can begin to spread one's "fame," to spread one's own "name," to gather and absorb the ethereal "popularity," to transform one's own skills, and to forge the manifestation of divine words.

Once the divine words manifest, one's skills and physique will undergo a qualitative change, unleashing extraordinary and unreasonable effects. The power varies from person to person depending on the skill level.

For example, the divine word of white tofu is "swift movement".

When he activates "Swiftness", his legs can generate whirlwinds, and he can leap up to tens of feet in a single bound. When he runs, he can't be seen at all; you can only feel a gust of wind passing by. He can also stay airborne for a short time.

The third stage is the condensation of the Dao Fruit.

Bai Doufu didn't know the specifics of this realm's wonders, only that the leader Lu Changming, whose title was "Brotherhood of Righteousness," was in this realm, but he had never seen him personally take action, so he didn't know the extent of this realm's power.

The reason why the practice of "Yunshan Village" is said to be based on "righteousness" is that it is a form of spiritual cultivation.

Firstly, it is really difficult for a bandit to make a name for himself. Even if it is a bad name, he must have a certain strength. Otherwise, he will either be ignored or be helped by others.

"righteousness" is much simpler!

Being loyal to brothers and friends, and gaining fame and "reputation" through loyalty, is a slow but risk-free path, as long as friends and others approve of it.

Secondly, it's because of Lu Changming's title, "a man of similar loyalty and righteousness."

As you can tell from its name, "righteousness" is paramount!

And almost everyone in "Yunshan Village" either directly or indirectly carries the divine seed that he split apart.

Under its influence, the more one values ​​"righteousness," the faster one's physique and skills will improve. Conversely, if one is disloyal and schemes against or harms one's brothers, one's cultivation will at least regress, or at worst, one's cultivation will vanish like water, resulting in a violent death.

therefore.

The men of Yunshan Village are all "loyal and righteous" heroes! They have earned a small reputation in this Qingzhou region.

"No wonder White Tofu dared to invite us into his mountain stronghold..."

Zhu Yu suddenly realized.

Once he accepts the split divine seed of Bai Doufu, if he considers himself a brother and wants to kill him, then he is a heartless and ungrateful person, and the outcome is self-evident.

"Tsk...it's possible that Master Yinming fell because of this..."

Zhu Yu shook his head slightly, feeling a little excited about Bai Doufu bestowing the "divine seed" upon him tomorrow. He wanted to see which skill he was more inclined towards.

Suppressing his thoughts, he turned over in bed, closed his eyes and focused his mind, concentrating on circulating the qi and blood accumulated in his body from consuming "tiger bone wine" and beef and mutton, to nourish his body.

In the blink of an eye, the world had changed.

"Xianfen" refers to the underworld.

A small hill, a wooden house.

After reviewing the memories transmitted by the divided spirit, Zhu Yu's expression turned strange: "Divine words, reputation, loyalty, prestige..."

Isn't this just like the god in his previous life's mythology?

The former absorbs popular support to strengthen itself, while the latter absorbs beliefs to strengthen itself. Although there are some differences between the two, they are essentially not that different.

There's also the Otherworldly Spirit Ruins, a place resembling a spiritual desert.

It is a natural means of protection.

If any other region dares to invade, they will be met with endless, dry sands, their own cultivation restricted, and they will also have to face a group of cultivators with abyssal qi and blood and strange supernatural powers.

It is not difficult to see from this.

That Great Spirit Ruins was most likely invaded, otherwise how could it have evolved such a landscape and path!

Zhu Yu shook his head to clear his mind of these distractions. These were beyond the comprehension of a mere Qi Refining cultivator like himself. His thoughts returned to his "path of cultivation."

In such a world, cultivators from other realms must place great importance on reputation! Regardless of whether it's good or bad, if you want a reputation, you certainly can't be idle, otherwise who will know you!

In other words.

In other realms, cultivators with high cultivation levels are all adept at causing trouble and are happy to do so!

The reason why the white tofu manifested divine words is most likely related to his massacre of the Mi family village!

After all, a bad reputation is still a reputation!

Zhu Yu's eyes brightened as he murmured, "To quickly obtain the 'divine words' manifested from the alien origin, I need to find a way to accomplish something big..."

In an instant, a multitude of ingenious ideas flashed through his mind…

The people of that ghostly path in the Otherworldly Spirit Ruins will surely suffer terribly. If this doesn't work...

"Hiss..." Zhu Yu took a breath and shook his head. "No, no, that's not good. The Great Qian Dynasty has many experts. I'm afraid we'll be killed as soon as we raise our banner..."

After some thought, I decided to wait until the divided spirit takes on the divine seed and see which direction its skills tend to be before deciding how to advance.

Just as he was pondering this.

Two figures, one fat and one thin, arrived on the mound.

Xiao Yu, who was guarding the corpse, noticed it immediately and conveyed a warning to Zhu Yu.

"Who's here?"

Zhu Yu got up and went to the window. He saw Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan coming from not far away. He was puzzled for a moment, then turned and walked towards the stairwell.

Upon reaching the courtyard, he quickly went to greet them.

"Senior Brother Xiang, Senior Brother Liang..."

"Wishing you well, Junior Brother."

Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan were clearly in high spirits, their faces beaming with uncontrollable smiles.

"What joyous occasion has made you so happy, Senior Brother?"

As Zhu Yu led the two into the house, he asked curiously.

"Huh? Junior Brother Zhu, you didn't know?"

Liang Kuan looked at him in surprise, then grinned and said, "Lian Sheng has switched to 'Dead Soul Ravine'!"

"Lian Sheng?"

Xiang Sui chuckled, "That's the president of the 'Society.' He led his members into the Dead Soul Ravine, the enemy of the Netherworld Cave."

I then explained it to him in detail.

"This…"

When Zhu Yu learned that Lian Sheng had failed to construct the field that day and mistakenly believed it was because the Yinming Spirit Ruins did not allow it, he felt a chill run down his spine. Then, when he heard that the news of the Yinming True Man's fall into the outer realm was spread by Lian Sheng, cold sweat began to seep from his forehead.

He didn't know about anything else, but the backlash against Lian Sheng's constructed field was indeed caused by him stealing a part of his field.

For no apparent reason, a chill ran through Zhu Yu's heart.

No sooner had Lian Sheng spread his rumors than Yin Ming Zhenren's magic weapon, the "Great Thousand Mirror," summoned the cultivators of Yin Ming Cave to steal the origin of the Spirit Ruins from the outer realms.

Something just doesn't feel right...

"Has the Yinming Immortal truly fallen into the outer realms?"
