Chapter 750 - 5: Loose Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal

Chapter 750: Chapter 5: Loose Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal

At the entrance of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, atop Zhenhe Peak.

"Huh? What new contraption have those mountain people come up with again?"

Lord Tingyao gazed at the star power descending from the sky, clearly sensing the terrifying force it contained.

Even though separated by thousands of miles, that void and emptiness, distinct from ordinary primordial qi, still clearly conveyed to all who witnessed this beam of light.

"All Heaven Star Gods?"

Slowly standing up, Lord Tingyao’s pupils began to split.

With the support of the Divine Power of Future Knowledge, Lord Tingyao seemed to see a Star God coming across time and space.

The figure appeared with a human face and bird body, looking fierce and dreadful.

They wore a robe adorned with the Beidou Seven Stars and the Six Officials of South Dipper.

Though yet to descend from the distant future, the fierce aura already made Lord Tingyao involuntarily wrinkle his brow.

"Yet another rude fellow."

"The Daluo Dao is revered across all realms, the Taiyi Dao is practiced individually."

"You have achieved Taiyi in another realm, how dare you cross realms to seize this one’s opportunity!?"

An angry roar that echoed from nowhere caused the Star God to tremble.

As they turned around, a giant arrow pierced through time and space, shooting towards them with lightning speed.

Honestly, as the Gouchen Star Monarch from another time-space, they had encountered other Pathfinders.

But most Pathfinders did not have this capability to attack across time.

It didn’t merely distort space; even the concept of time seemed nonexistent before this arrow.

Faced with this method of attacking the future from the past, the Gouchen Star Monarch roared in fury.

"All Heaven Star Gods have exceptions such as Primordial Monarch, Houtu, and Ziwei; why can’t I cross realms to reaffirm the ’Gouchen Dao’!?"

Yet, in response to the Gouchen Star Monarch’s roar, Lord Tingyao only sneered coldly.

"You claim it’s an exception; do you think you’re very special?"

"Furthermore, even if there truly is a ’Gouchen’ crossing realms in the future, it absolutely won’t be you!"

In the current All Heaven Star system, only the founder Doumu Primordial Monarch and Houtu, one of the Four Sovereigns, exist as the same entity in every time-space.

Aside from them, even the gifted Emperor Ziwei hasn’t managed to become the Ziwei Star Monarch across most time-spaces. ℯ

Of course, genuinely ambitious Pathfinders won’t revolve around the All Heaven Star system; Emperor Ziwei is an anomaly.

To the vast majority of Pathfinders, it’s merely a shortcut to the Path.

Once they discern the process and manner of affirming the Path, most go on to affirm a path unique to themselves.

Only Emperor Ziwei, who affirms the Path of an Emperor, desires to truly become the commander of All Heaven Star Gods, thus he persists in revolving within the All Heaven Star system.

Honestly, after understanding Emperor Ziwei’s "peculiar" nature.

Lord Tingyao didn’t doubt that the other, even if they transcended the All Heaven Star system, could certainly affirm a path similar to the Path of Emperor.

Comparatively, this Gouchen Star Monarch crossing realms seems far more immature.

"Damn it!"

Facing Lord Tingyao’s fierce attack, the Gouchen Star Monarch could only unfold their robe, using the Golden Cicada technique to escape the missile arrow.

But escaping one doesn’t mean escaping all.

With four arms extended angrily, Lord Tingyao wielded bow and arrow with one pair, forming seals and casting spells with the other.

In an instant, another giant arrow flew forward, this time leaving the Gouchen Star Monarch no room to react.

Boom!

As the giant arrow pierced through the body, the Gouchen Star Monarch let out a wail.

This Gouchen Star Monarch from across realms didn’t even have time to materialize the body before being easily repelled by Lord Tingyao.

Even though the other already affirmed the position of Star Monarch in another time-space, it would take hundreds of years to recover.

......................................................

Above the sky, Gouchen Celestial Palace.

"How many Gouchen Star Monarchs is this?"

A bit helplessly looking down, Ying Long’s voice was deep and resonant.

Standing beside Ying Long, Lu Huaijin responded without lifting his head.

"The seventy-third, quite capable for a Gouchen Star Monarch."

"At least he has merged with the Dao, fully mastering the ’Gouchen Dao.’"

"I suspect he might be old Gu, currently responsible for the ’Star Power Aggregation Project.’"

The birth of the All Heaven Star system has certainly lowered the threshold for affirming the Path, yet likewise lowered the level of Pathfinders.

Before its birth, cultivators at least possessed the ability to observe the River of Time and traverse time-space to qualify as Pathfinders.

However, after the All Heaven Star system was born, many cultivators affirmed the Star Monarch Dao yet couldn’t observe the River of Time.

"Don’t indulge in such meaningless speculation; it easily affects relationships between colleagues."

"The future holds countless possibilities, even if future old Gu truly affirms the Star Monarch Dao, it bears no relation to his present self."

Saying this, Ying Long paused slightly.

"Furthermore, according to the Tao Ancestor’s classification, those so-called Gouchen Star Monarchs at best can only be considered a group of ’Loose Immortals,’ not even ’True Immortals.’"

"Even this Gouchen Star Monarch suspected to be old Gu barely meets the ’True Immortal’ standard."

Hearing Ying Long’s words, Lu Huaijin only now reluctantly raised his head for a glance.

"You’ve adapted quite swiftly."

"Be they Loose Immortals or True Immortals, even Gold Immortals so what?"

"Ultimately, these are only standards set by the teacher to help Mountain God Grandmother re-affirm the Path of Immortals, not some universal realm division."

Saying this, Lu Huaijin paused slightly.

"A thousand faces, all living beings have inherent traits..."

"With different species, talents, souls, even cultivation methods for each cultivator, how can there be a unified realm division?"

"When the teacher originally divided the Mortal Realm for Refining Essence and Qi, the Immortal Realm for Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation, and the Tao Transformation Realm for Refining Spirit and Returning to Void, it emphasized only the realm and cultivation."

"In specific abilities and combat effectiveness, it looks more at the cultivator’s own proficiency and expertise."

"To put it simply, if I had the ’Heaven-Overturning Seal’ in hand, how many rounds do you think those so-called ’Pathfinders’ could last against me?"

Slightly curling his mouth, Ying Long glared at Lu Huaijin nonchalantly.

"I certainly haven’t forgotten the ’Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation’ emphasized by Tao Ancestor."

"Spells, Divine Power, Talisman, Magical Treasure, Array, even Dao Companion, can greatly enhance a cultivator’s survival and combat capability."

"Yet outside the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, how many cultivators could gather these things?"

"Having a cultivation method capable of foundation-building is already the fortune of the vast majority of cultivators."

"But cultivation method is just foundational; a mortal wanting to embark on the Path of Cultivation, even excluding talent, perseverance, and resources, must at least be literate, right?"

Deeply sighing, originally intending to argue a few more words with Lu Huaijin, Ying Long directly resigned himself.

"The Great Xia has been reforming for so long, yet hasn’t even achieved unity in the basic universal script; just what are they reforming?"
