Chapter 1307 - 1407: Birds Singing and Flowers Blooming

After all, no matter how well you can endure without needing physical objects, under the nourishment of spiritual power, your inner organs will still suffer varying degrees of aging unless they evolve further.

To purify the inner organs, you can only enhance your cultivation. Only by raising your cultivation level and allowing higher-grade spiritual power to nourish the organs can they progress further. Thus, to achieve greater longevity, one must cultivate their strength to become even more powerful, which explains why so many pursue strength.

With greater strength, not only do you gain more influence, but you also extend your lifespan significantly, which is a situation where you gain manifold benefits. Therefore, many people are willing to go to any length to seek power.

Take, for example, those on the demonic path, who resort to all sorts of means in pursuit of strength, resulting in widespread slaughter, earning themselves the condemnation of everyone.

Of course, because the demonic path adherents believe in the creed "if one does not look out for oneself, heaven and earth will destroy them," it's this mindset that leads to such widespread killing. But the righteous path is different; some individuals even refrain from killing more for personal advancement, opting instead to seek alternative methods.

There are indeed some in the righteous sect who secretly employ some evil methods to enhance their cultivation.

However, such individuals are very few, as these methods undermine one's spiritual virtue and are generally avoided.

One must be mindful that even though they wish to ascend quickly, they should not forget that, for ascension, they must face an ultimate test, which is the celestial tribulation. If one causes too much slaughter, the celestial tribulation will become increasingly powerful.

The force of the celestial tribulation will be crafted according to one's moral deeds, albeit with a minimum threshold. No matter how many great deeds you've accomplished or how much virtue you've amassed, the tribulation's weakest force will still manifest, and it won't diminish beyond this minimum.

Conversely, if you constantly commit evil deeds, the power of the celestial tribulation will grow boundlessly. Generally, to safely pass through tribulation, people refrain from doing too many bad deeds; even if they accidentally commit an evil act, they immediately perform a good deed to gain virtue to offset the karma caused by the evil act.

Of course, this isn't always the case, because logically, some seemingly minor evil actions could have widespread repercussions, turning into significant troubles that affect the entire world.

Conversely, you might believe you've performed great good deeds, yet they may exacerbate situations, thus turning into acts of evil. Sometimes you may be deceived, thinking you've performed good deeds, but in reality, you've committed acts of great evil.

Ultimately, this can lead a person to become entangled in karma, leading to no salvation when facing the celestial tribulation.

Currently, no cultivators within this barrier concern themselves with crossing tribulations. Given the status quo, even the premier figure globally merely possesses the strength of the Ten Directions realm, far from the Primordial realm. Moreover, even upon entering the Primordial realm, there's still a long journey before reaching the celestial realm.

Some individuals may never traverse this journey; even upon entering the Primordial realm, the burden of karma may prevent further comprehension of the power of laws. Without continued comprehension of the power of laws, one's power may increase, but without inviting a tribulation, they can only keep accumulating their spiritual power, awaiting the day of self-explosion, as battles in the Primordial realm are fought using the power of laws. Without profound understanding of these laws, abundant spiritual power is futile.

Spiritual power, even if comprehended deeply, at best might surpass individuals in the Ten Directions realm, but to those who have deeply understood the power of laws within the Primordial realm, crushing you requires merely a finger.

Thus, even if some luck into entering the Primordial realm, the force of karma may unleash chaos upon their newfound understanding of laws. Without clearing or resolving the karmic power, it will perpetually interfere with their comprehension of laws.

It might even lead to situations where the power of laws entangled by karmic forces becomes unusable. Under such circumstances, Primordial realm individuals unable to use the power of laws may only prove marginally stronger than those in the Ten Directions realm.

However, for those who can normally operate within the Primordial realm, so long as they can wield the power of laws, they can easily defeat those unable to use the power of laws even within the Primordial realm, regardless of recent comprehension.

Therefore, the power of laws is exceedingly vital for individuals in the Primordial realm. To continue advancing, the power of laws is indispensable. If you don't wish to advance, this can be overlooked. However, upon entering the Primordial realm, one's lifespan becomes fixed, and as long as you can step into the celestial realm before reaching the end of your lifespan, it will be greatly extended again.

But if entry into the celestial realm isn't achieved within the stipulated time, one faces death and the obliteration of the Dao. There exists an alternative, which is to become a scattered immortal, discarding the physical body, retaining only the divine sense, then using spiritual power to consolidate a new body, forming a new cultivation scenario.

Yet, this cultivation scenario cannot achieve true immortality; it merely prolongs existence, with power permanently fixed, unlikely to advance further. Additionally, one must endure celestial tribulations periodically. Failure to overcome a tribulation inevitably leads to death and Dao obliteration, accompanied by no alternative solutions.

Moreover, there exists a rumor that the celestial realm resembles a paradise filled with flora where countless treasures and resources promise eternal longevity, everlasting life, prompting many to incessantly yearn for the celestial realm.

Although Ye Tianfan is unaware of the celestial realm's actual appearance, he imagines it much like the cultivation world—teeming with sects. Even if the number of sects is limited, resources would surely be inadequately distributed.

Surely, those of strength would dominate resources; if celestial realm inhabitants truly ascended from the realm of cultivation, its rules and regulations are likely similar to the cultivation world. If not, it would imply the celestial realm inherently hosts primal beings, leaving ascendants from the mortal world without influence, forced to obey.
