Chapter 1264 -1212-1213 Gengjin, Master of Slaughter, Descends
The Human Immortal Path involves refining one’s own physical body and then continuously tempering it to unlock one’s divine hidden potential.
Whereas the Divine Immortal Path revolves around collecting authority and mastering the Path of Laws.
However, the practice of cultivation in this world begins with martial artists refining their bodies through the practice of martial arts, and after the body becomes robust enough to bear the burden, they start to evolve profound meanings by using the martial arts they’ve cultivated, ultimately perfecting the profound meanings under their control.
The profound meanings or laws are fundamental to the cultivation of martial artists in this world. Without mastery over profound meanings, they will find themselves stuck at a certain realm, unable to advance any further.
Profound meanings are the foundation of a martial artist’s strength in this world; with them, they can dominate, invoke Heavenly Earthly Force, and unleash the ultimate offensive power.
The pinnacle of cultivation in this world is known as the Emperor Realm, where only by perfecting profound meanings and transforming them into laws can one ascend to become an emperor, a realm analogous to the Immortal Path.
The significance of profound meanings seems to have merged into the essence of the world; especially powerful ones, like time and space, can lead to a grand confrontation with an emperor if cultivated to the Grand Perfection Realm, even without having transformed into laws.
Of course, to Wood Virtue Star Lord, even though there are Immortal Path Strong ones in this world, and emperors and lords are comparable to these strong ones, they still differ greatly from True Immortals.
That is because the True Immortal Realm is supposed to be a state of permanent certainty. True Immortals may fall or be suppressed, but they do not degrade.
However, the cosmic order of this world is harsh; even if one’s profound meaning evolves into a law and one ascends to become an emperor or lord comparable to a True Immortal, it does not mean eternal steadiness. If their laws are not stable, they may regress, falling back to their previous realms.
“It is indeed an inconceivable world. Even the mighty emperors and lords, if they cannot maintain their authority and their foundation suffers damage, they too will fall back to the King Realm,” Wood Virtue Star Lord speculated with a spark of divine light in his eyes, wondering whether the incompleteness of the world was the cause of such phenomena.
The cultivation in this world is not as finely divided as in his own; for instance, the Seventh Layer to the Ninth Layer of the Spiritual Realm in the Great Ming World are collectively known as the King Realm, and the peak of the King Realm is termed the Supreme King, comparable to the Supreme Overlord of the Nine Realms of Spirit.
Though Wood Virtue Star Lord is an independent practitioner in the Great Ming World and has not presided over many significant matters, therefore devoid of access to many core secrets of the cosmos,
as one who has lived for thousands of years and undergone countless information baptisms in the Taoist Academy, he possesses considerable understanding of the cosmos.
According to what Longevity Taoist Monarch said, cosmic worlds have different levels, but even within the same level, there are significant distinctions in status.
For example, before the Great Ming World had absorbed and merged with another world and ascended, it was also classified as a Small Thousand World, as was the world established by Longevity Taoist Monarch.
Yet the capacities, the numbers of living beings they could accommodate, and the quantity of strong ones each could contain were vastly different.
As the Great Ming World merged with another and continued to grow, although it did not further advance its status, it was considered one of the top-tier within Medium Thousand Worlds; it could harbor so many True Immortals and establish a Heavenly Court to offer countless gods the opportunity for longevity.
Compared to the current world that Wood Virtue Star Lord found himself in, even though there were beings at the Immortal Path level, there were also several flaws. To mention one, the possibility of falling from the Immortal Path Realm likely suggests that this realm is not entirely perfected.
Heavenly Path imperfections are not unusual.
“The incompleteness of the Heavenly Path in this world, preventing emperors and lords from achieving immortality, may become an excellent entry point, assisting us in integrating this world into the Heavenly Court,” Wood Virtue Star Lord thought to himself.
Pei Xuanjing’s influence on the Great Ming World is indescribable. As the strongest being between heaven and earth, his way of doing things, as well as his methods, have unconsciously become models and goals for many to emulate.
If it were the Wood Virtue Star Lord of old, he might think of destroying and disrupting this world first, slaying powerful beings, and using force to amalgamate this world.
But now, Pei Xuanjing’s win-win approach has taught Wood Virtue Star Lord much, leading him to try appealing to common interests for alliance.
“It’s just that I don’t know when someone from the Ancestral Land will arrive. With my strength alone, any plans I might have cannot be truly implemented in a short amount of time,” a touch of regret appeared on Wood Virtue Star Lord’s face.
Indeed, the way Longevity Taoist Monarch operates is as prominent as the sun; once set in motion, no machinations can hinder it–it is destined to sweep everything before it.
However, such an open scheme has one major flaw; the planner must possess sufficient strength to oversee the whole situation, to be capable of dealing with any contingency, preventing anyone from flipping the table.
Criticism of weapons can never replace the criticism by weapons; no matter how righteous an open scheme seems, it still operates within the rules.
Conversely, if an outside force that doesn’t adhere to the rules at all were to appear under such circumstances, directly flipping the table and smashing the dishes, then it would render everything utterly ineffective.
