Chapter 1589: Chapter 1348: Above True Immortals_2
The Dao pattern-riddled pathway that had appeared was disintegrating.
It could collapse at any moment.
If it did, that would mean promotion failure.
It would not be recognized by heaven and earth.
But the path of immortality can be severed, and it is normal for the Dao not to be recognized.
Thus, breaking through in the former is possible, as it is in the latter.
The only difference is that others can assist in the former, whereas in the latter, help is virtually impossible.
This edge of collapse persisted for quite some time.
About seven days.
Today, the path finally began to collapse.
Just as it began to disintegrate, a phantom silhouette suddenly condensed above the path.
One of his feet stepped onto the pathway.
In an instant, the disintegrating pathway returned to normal.
Then footsteps were heard.
The figure holding onto the phantom stepped along the hollow pathway.
Although it was unknown where this road led, the figure didn’t hesitate, pressing on toward the front decisively.
Simultaneously, the intent of the Dao burst forth, swirling around the figure.
An ethereal voice emerged from the void.
“My Dao, I shall walk it, observe it, and recognize it!”
Boom!
The true intent of the Dao poured forth, like a boundless ocean.
It threatened to engulf the entire Heavenly Note Sect.
Heavenly Note Sect intervened, cloaking everything.
Yet the true intent of the Dao still affected the sect.
Countless individuals were blessed with enlightenment, with quite a few breaking through on the spot.
This eruption lasted three days.
As a result, the Dao pathway within Jiang Hao’s courtyard disappeared, as did the others.
Inside his room, Jiang Hao, somewhat fatigued, opened his eyes.
Feeling the transformations within his body, he was quite delighted.
He had succeeded.
True Immortals, his Dao acknowledged.
“The highest realm known to us, and just like that, I’ve stepped upon it.”
Jiang Hao was a bit sentimental as he looked back over more than a century of experiences.
He had narrowly escaped death numerous times, and once even died outright.
Such experiences had matured his mind beyond his years.
Faced with various gains, he was no longer greatly perturbed.
Now…
He felt a bit inflated with pride and wanted to challenge a True Immortal to test his strength.
But were True Immortals even findable?
It would be difficult.
Suddenly a voice pierced through: “Don’t feel like coming out?”
A voice familiar yet indifferent.
Heavenly Note Sect.
Jiang Hao suddenly lost any desire to find someone to spar with, as the most easily encountered True Immortal was precisely the one outside.
He probably wasn’t a match for her.
Thus, Jiang Hao glanced at his panel.
To check his realm.
Although he already knew, he just wanted to take a look.
He felt quite a bit of joy and pride in his heart.
[Name: Jiang Hao]
[Age: One Hundred Thirty-One]
[Cultivation: Early Stage of Immortal Extinguishing]
[Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Hundred Revolutions, Hong Meng Heart Sutra]
[Daily Appraisal: Clear and Pure Heart, Reappearance of the Hidden Spirit, Divine Might, The Revival of Withered Tree, Heavenly Cauldron, Indestructible Vajra, Myriad Nature Forest]
[Lifeblood: 0/100 (Not Cultivable)]
[Cultivation: 0/100 (Not Cultivable)]
[Daily Appraisal: 2/3 (Unavailable)]
True Immortals, ah.
Over a century ago, it was a realm unimaginable to him.
He didn’t even know of its existence.
Now, he should be considered not weak within the cultivation world.
When he has a moment, he could look for Gu Jin and perhaps deduce something from their expression.
While thinking, Jiang Hao walked outside.
Arriving in the courtyard, indeed he saw a red figure.
Heavenly Note Sect was brewing tea.
“Greetings, senior,” said Jiang Hao as he stepped out.
“Lost all respect?” Heavenly Note Sect inquired casually.
Afterward, she gestured for him to sit.
Dew of the First Sun.
Such fine tea again, Jiang Hao lifted the cup to try, and felt his body enveloped by spiritual energy.
The previous exhaustion was quickly receding.
Putting down the teacup, Jiang Hao finally said, “My respect for my seniors has never changed; I’ve just learned to keep it in my heart.”
“If you don’t show it, who will know?” Heavenly Note Sect chuckled and said:
“Has your cultivation advanced?”
“Senior’s insight is sharp.” Jiang Hao said with a smile, “I have successfully advanced to the late stage of Return to Void, which makes me a disciple who can stand on his own within the sect.”
“Stand on your own?” Heavenly Note Sect picked up the teacup and smiled:
“That’s quite fortunate, as I heard your sect has left you with a task that just happens to require someone who can stand on his own.
You have become such a person.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.
He quickly asked, “What is the task?”
“You ask the people in your sect.” The Heavenly Note Sect sipped the tea and said.
Jiang Hao paused, almost doubting for a moment if the person before him was truly the Sect Master.
But the other party was indeed not involved.
So it could only wait.
Without overthinking it, Jiang Hao adjusted his mindset as well.
He had to be more careful with his words; otherwise, he might be targeted by the person before him.
“Senior, do you think there will be problems with ascending through the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?” Jiang Hao inquired.
“There will be problems; best to find a special place.” The Heavenly Note Sect said.
“What kind of special place?” Jiang Hao asked, puzzled.
“Normally, even the heart of a sage ascending would bring about issues, but because he came to the Heavenly Note Sect, the problems are not significant.” The Heavenly Note Sect put down the teacup and said.
Jiang Hao poured more tea for the other person, somewhat curious: “Is the Heavenly Note Sect so special?”
“You’ve been to the Devil’s Den many times; do you dare to go to the center?” The Heavenly Note Sect suddenly asked.
“I dare not.” Jiang Hao honestly said: “Even though my cultivation has advanced, I wouldn’t rashly enter.
What exactly is that place?”
Heavenly Note Sect shook their head: “There are people from the Heavenly Note Sect guarding that place, but they are not particularly strong in cultivation; the stronger they are, the less they can enter.
It is rumored that there is still combat below, but the truth is unknown.
The Devil’s Den has existed for many years.”
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Hao said, “Even someone as powerful as senior can’t enter?”
“I can’t enter.” The Heavenly Note Sect replied calmly: “However, once you ascend, maybe you can enter. Then, lend me your eyes so I can see what’s inside.”
Jiang Hao nodded slightly and didn’t dwell on these thoughts.
“So, with the Devil’s Den present, is it suitable for special individuals to ascend?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Not just that, such individuals have immense benefits when ascending in the Heavenly Note Sect.” The Heavenly Note Sect explained.
Jiang Hao nodded.
It seems that it’s time to have the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment come over.
But there are difficulties.
Chu Chuan is still in the southern region, and it wouldn’t be ideal to encounter him.
However, as long as the route is well managed, there should be no problem.
Pausing for a moment, Jiang Hao became curious: “Senior, will ascending through the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment open the path of immortality?”
The Heavenly Note Sect, sipping tea, did not answer.
That means it’s possible.
That would also be beneficial for the Heavenly Note Sect, as a few more might manage to ascend.
After confirming the time, it was now October.
That meant he had been in seclusion for an entire month.
The remaining consideration was how many bubbles the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower could produce.
This would determine how fast his subsequent progress would be.
Of course, the main thing was still the comprehension of the Dao.
The more it is affirmed, the easier it should be to advance.
So, what realm is above the True Immortals?
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Hao spoke up and asked.
“Why does someone in the late stage of Return to Void care about such things?” The Heavenly Note Sect replied dismissively.
“With the arrival of the great era, one needs to know the realms of those strong beings to deal with them.” Jiang Hao made up a reason on the spot.
The Heavenly Note Sect didn’t take much notice and said, “When one’s Dao is recognized, they become a True Immortal, but those who are recognized at the highest level can reach the pinnacle of True Immortals.
But at this stage, there is nothing left between heaven and earth to offer you.
Whether it’s concerning the Dao or spiritual and immortal energy, they are already at the limit.
At this stage, there is only one path for them to advance.”
“Which is?” Jiang Hao immediately asked.
The peak of True Immortals, that is the endpoint in this world.
As for himself now, he wasn’t far from the endpoint.
“The Dao recognized by heaven and earth still belongs to them, and to transcend these limits, you must forge a Dao uniquely yours, seeking self amidst the confines, breaking the conventional, and walking parallel with the Dao.” The Heavenly Note Sect gazed at Jiang Hao and said:
“When the road of the Great Dao is manifested, the Great Dao continues, everlasting and imperishable through the aeons, this is called Daluo.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao was somewhat shaken and exclaimed in amazement.
“What about above Daluo?” Jiang Hao asked.
“The true Daluo above?” The Heavenly Note Sect inquired.
Jiang Hao nodded.
“No one has gone there.” The Heavenly Note Sect answered.
“No one?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
“Yes, no one.” The Heavenly Note Sect affirmed.
“Is the pinnacle of aeons Daluo?” Jiang Hao asked.
Heavenly Note Sect nodded slightly and then said:
“But there are no early, middle, or late stages in Daluo; Daluo is Daluo. Some Daluo might only slightly suppress a True Immortal at full circle, but there are Daluo who are so powerful you can’t even comprehend.
To most Daluo, they are but opponents defeated in a single blow.”
