To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

"Indeed, there has been a change of events."

In the face of his disciple’s curious inquiry, Shi Junyang didn’t hide or hold back. He chuckled lightly, readily answering, "Mainly because after I emerged from my own Cave Mansion, returning to this Immortal Realm, I had a sensation. Observing the secrets of Heaven, I discovered that within the Changqing Territory, there unexpectedly appeared the aura of an old friend who was believed to be seated in meditation and passed away. Thus, out of curiosity, I simply inquired."

An old friend’s aura?

And one that was already seated in meditation and passed away.

The implications behind this truth indeed caused a great stir in the hearts of several people in the hall.

What kind of person was their Immortal Venerate?

The ones he could call old friends from a lifetime, after much thought, could only be other True Persons. Yet, the Immortal Venerate said that it was the aura of a Great True Person who had already passed away that reemerged.

Doesn’t this suggest that a certain Great True Person who had previously died has come back to life?

The sudden appearance of a Great True Person right beside their own domain, how could it not make everyone feel their minds shake?

Wang ShiZhou swallowed hard and asked with difficulty, "Immortal Venerate means to say, a Great True Person has emerged in the Changqing Territory?"

As the person who had taken over the responsibility for the sect’s external affairs in the Changqing Territory in recent years, he had to step forward and understand the details.

Shi Junyang shook his head: "No, I only said there was an aura that appeared. I never said my old friend was resurrected. It seems that my old friend left behind some legacy or Magical Treasures within the Changqing Territory that later generations have unearthed.

Therefore, it led to the appearance of my friend’s aura, making me sense it and become aware of this matter.

There is still no Great True Person in the north, you should not panic.

Furthermore, even if a Great True Person appears, they will not invade another domain casually. With me here in this domain, what have you to fear?"

After glancing at his disciples, Shi Junyang understood their thoughts and couldn’t help but admonish them.

"We were panicked, Immortal Venerate, please forgive us!"

Hearing the Immortal Venerate’s admonishment, the disciples hastened to bow and ask for forgiveness.

"Enough."

Shi Junyang waved his hand and then, after thinking for a moment, added, "In that Changqing Territory, if someone can benefit from the legacy of my old friend, their future will be boundless. With the current conflict between the Nine Spirits and Changqing, the emergence of such a time is surely a mystic response from Heaven.

It seems that although there is no Great True Person in the Changqing Territory at the moment, perhaps within the next ten thousand years, a Great True Person should emerge.

By then, I shall have another peer, which would be a great fortune."

Upon saying this, Shi Junyang’s face revealed a hint of a smile.

Although he wasn’t very fond of going out, nor did he wish to interact too much with others,

Seeing his peers of the same realm increasing in number brought him a kind of consolation.

It proved his path was not solitary; the Immortal Method was thriving.

At his level, facing the realm above Heavenly Immortals, there is still no clear conclusion within the Immortal Realm.

Nor has anyone heard of the existence of those who have reached this realm.

Moreover, due to the differences in individual cultivation paths, which are often incompatible with each other like water and fire, it’s hard to refer to each other’s practices.

Therefore, every Great True Person is groping upward alone, fumbling in the dark to forge a new path. The process is arduous.

If you encounter the slightest hurdle and fail to surpass it, calamity would descend immediately.

This is also the reason why the Great True Persons in the Changqing Territory fell so quickly.

Because he made an error while probing forward in the cultivation of the Heavenly Immortal path, he thus succumbed to calamity.

And this calamity is actually quite simple.

The realm of Three Flowers Gathering is also known as the three realms of an Immortal.

The Human Immortal Realm in the Great Tao is about learning and imitating, as well as applying it.

To put it simply, it means being able to borrow the power of Heaven and Earth from the Dao one cultivates.

The Earthly Immortal Realm is about mastering and merging—mastering a Dao of Heaven and Earth through study and integrating one’s own Cultivation into it, drawing upon this Great Tao of Heaven and Earth to nourish and enhance one’s own Dao.

Upon reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm, after one’s own Dao has absorbed enough nourishment from Heaven and Earth, it then separates again from the Great Tao of Heaven and Earth, becoming independent.

But how easy is this step?

If you have already merged with Heaven and Earth, even drawing sustenance from it, and have become one with Heaven and Earth,

Then your desire to separate is seen by Heaven and Earth as rebellion, as self-harm. Of course, they would not agree.

Thus, a Heavenly Immortal who wants to separate their Dao to become independent has to use force, to separate forcefully from Heaven and Earth.

But even at the level of a Great True Person, when facing the vastness of Heaven and Earth, one is still as insignificant as dust, with no ability to contend.

However, if one cannot become independent, then one is doomed to remain Earth Immortal, forever constrained by the rules of Heaven and Earth, living ten thousand years only to fade away inconsequentially.

Only by gaining independence, breaking free of the constraints of the rules of Heaven and Earth, and relying on one’s own Dao for eternity, will the Dao not perish nor will the fruit be incomplete, and Lifespan will naturally be boundless.

This is the secret to the Heavenly Immortal’s immortal longevity.

To break away from the rules of Heaven and Earth, to seize control of one’s own Dao Fruit, is to enjoy eternal freedom.

With such a temptation at hand, naturally countless predecessors have continued to search for the path to independence.

Through the persistent exploration and summarization of those before them, a relatively mature approach has emerged, though the road ahead remains unknown.

It is naturally very difficult to contend alone against the entire Heaven and Earth, but if one only contends with a small part of it, then the task is much easier.

The concrete method involves occupying a domain, then merging oneself with the Great Tao of Heaven and Earth and gathering it within the domain, transforming it to cover one’s own Dao.

Next, one performs a secret method to sever most of the domain’s connection with Heaven and Earth, preventing it from receiving too much support from Heaven and Earth.

Then, a cultivator who wishes to become a Heavenly Immortal may attempt, in this restricted area, to gradually extract their own Dao and concentrate on their Heavenly Immortal Taoist Fruit.
