Chapter 793: Chapter 743 Human Immortal Path
Pei Xuanjing had made thorough preparations for his disciple. If his disciple could master the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill and the method to condense the Golden Core during his incarnation’s cultivation, he would have a great chance of succeeding.
Of course, if despite these preparations, Pang Hong still could not successfully convert to this new cultivation or successfully condense the Golden Core, it would mean that he lacked the ability to do so, and no one could help him with that, not even Pei Xuanjing.
You could say that he did this to encourage Pang Hong to make an effort. Regardless of success or failure, it would at least resolve his inner obsession and prevent further delays.
“Master, I understand. If I fail after this attempt, I will abandon the idea,” Pang Hong solemnly promised Pei Xuanjing.
He was aware of all the preparations his master had made for him. If he still failed, there would be no meaning to continue persisting.
“Next, it’s up to your destiny,” said Pei Xuanjing before he vanished.
Pang Hong nodded, paying tribute in the direction his master had left in, before slowly sitting down in a meditative posture to prepare himself.
First, he began to channel his Primordial Qi internally, gradually transferring it into the light sphere in his hand.
The formerly empty light sphere began to fill as the Primordial Qi was transferred in, and surged as it absorbed the powerful energy…
Once his Primordial Qi dissipated, and his cultivation dispersed, Pang Hong could clearly feel his life force rapidly draining away. His regression halted only when his Realm regressed to a First-grade Martial Artist of the Mortal Realm. By that time, his once dark hair had turned white as snow.
This was something he had to undergo. Even though the formation set by Pei Xuanjing temporarily stopped time for him and allowed his energy to remain at its peak, the passage of his lifespan was inevitable.
As far as Pei Xuanjing was concerned, with his status as the founder of the Longevity World, he could naturally accomplish this same task, but chose not to, as it held no meaning.
For Pang Hong, the difficulty of his conversion to the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill was never about his lifespan. Even for the majority of cultivators, the most crucial factor was their inability to maintain their energy at its peak after converting their cultivation, which was why they couldn’t condense the Golden Core.
Now that Pei Xuanjing’s array allowed Pang Hong to remain at his peak state, the disappearance of his lifespan was significant but not unsolvable. As long as he can cultivate himself back to his current state, he could reclaim his lost lifespan.
“Calm the heart, Condense the spirit…” Pang Hong began to practice the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill, drawing together his essence, energy, and spirit…
While Pang Hong started his process of uniting his energy and condensing the Golden Core on one side, Pei Xuanjing was observing him with a fraction of his consciousness, and then traveled to another place.
This place was above the sky of the Longevity World. Pei Xuanjing sat cross-legged here, with his eyes slightly closed. With a flicker of his consciousness, the sky changed its color, and thunder from all directions converged. In a moment, it transformed into an ocean of thunder.
In his raised hands hovered a purple thunder, spiraling and revolving. It was the innate Heavenly Thunder that had appeared when he had clashed with the Taixu Venerable and was now named by Pei Xuanjing as the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
The moment the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder appeared, the terrifying ocean of thunder boiled up once more, as if a few drops of oil had fallen on a raging fire, the flames intensified.
Faced with the continually boiling thunder, Pei Xuanjing sat within it unharmed because he was part of this world; nothing in this world could harm him.
He stirred his consciousness, and the boiling thunder soared, stirring up huge thunder waves. Within a radius of hundreds of miles of Pei Xuanjing, the thunder had transformed into a liquid state, like an ocean, wrapping him inside it.
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing released his Sanbao Jade Ruyi and Six-Color Sword, letting the thunder temper them. With this boundless thunder constantly refining these two magical tools, they would become even more powerful.
Next, Pei Xuanjing turned his main focus back to himself.
This body in the ocean of thunder in the Longevity World was Pei Xuanjing’s true body. When the ocean of thunder rushed towards him, Pei Xuanjing gradually removed the world’s protection from himself, and started to slowly let his physical body absorb the power of thunder.
The Nine Realms of Spirit, Golden Core Dao, at this point, Pei Xuanjing had reached the pinnacle of known cultivation. From here forward, he would explore the path leading to the Immortal Path.
Heavenly Immortal Path, Earthly Immortal Path, Human Immortal Path, Divine Immortal Path, Ghost Immortal Path, these five types of immortality were the result of Pei Xuanjing’s conjectures based on the myths preserved from his past life and the various records left by the world’s strong cultivators.
There was not much information Pei Xuanjing had on the paths other than these, so he couldn’t be sure of them yet. However, for the Human Immortal Path, Pei Xuanjing had already figured a lot.
A Human Immortal cultivates by battling against Heaven and Earth, achieving supremacy through martial arts, cultivating body orifices, proving the Dao with power, unlocking personal divine treasury, achieving a personal small universe, and a Heaven and Earth’s large universe. Ultimately, he can break through the void, establish heaven and earth, and that is the Human Immortal Path.
In Pei Xuanjing’s view, the Human Immortal Path is truly about cultivating the flesh into sainthood. Understanding Heaven and Earth and the Taoist Skills are not essential and are rather trivial matters. The real core is to continuously develop oneself, continuously unlock the limits of the flesh, and finally reach the ultimate level where the body becomes eternal, indestructible even if Heaven and Earth perish.
In the Daming World, martial arts are the foundation of cultivation, they are the beginning of everything. This was a method of cultivation that was opened up by early cultivators after the essence Qi of Heaven and Earth declined following the Tang Dynasty.
Even though those early cultivators, who experienced the most abundant era of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, opened up the martial arts path, their intention was not really to walk this path fully. Their real goal was to replace the original Path of Qi Refinement and make up for the missing part of the Spirit Realm.
Therefore, martial arts only extend to the first realm, and once that step is reached, the existing cultivation system in the Tianhuang realm can be broken through to enter the Spirit Realm.
However, upon entering the Spirit Realm, most martial artists switch to the method of refining Qi. Only those cultivators without talent are forced to continue on this path.
But according to Pei Xuanjing, that is a wrong choice.
