Chapter 633
Erosion [3]
True Immortals are ranked in nine grades, and Mysterious Immortals and Jade Immortals are the immortal system of the mythical immortal ancestor.
And now it begins.
Inside the tavern, all those who have received good fortune can cultivate the Dao he passed down, the Path of Ten Refinements to True Immortality, and the Realm of the Three Immortal Powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
No cultivator would refuse such a temptation.
Just as the mythological era in this place had three more realms than the later star sea—the Void Breaking Stage, the Mahayana Stage, and the Tribulation Transcending Stage—this added three points to its foundation.
The True Immortals, Jade Immortals, and Golden Immortals they later attained were all far more powerful than the cultivators of the same realm in the Star Sea of later generations.
Both are Golden Immortals at their peak, but the giants of the later Star Sea are just giants, while the Golden Immortals at their peak in the Mythical Era are more than twice as powerful Great Demon Lords, with combat strength at the level between normal giants and him, a Taiyi Golden Immortal at the initial stage.
His Dao, Su Chen's, leads directly to the terrifying Taiyi Golden Immortal.
If his understanding of his own path is incorporated, then in addition to the realms of True Immortal and Profound Immortal, there is an additional foundation of a minor realm.
No one can resist the immense temptation of having a foundation that surpasses others!
nobody!
Can be imagined.
When Su Chen spreads his Dao and Dharma, what a vast storm it will stir up throughout the entire mythological era!
This will be a revolution, tearing down the foundation of the mythical Heavenly Dao and causing the complete demise of this remnant soul of the Fifth Realm Immortal Ancestor.
The fifth realm is called Eternity!
Without a foundation, it will be like water without roots, its source diminishing with each use, and it will eventually vanish into nothingness.
……
……
And at this time.
Inside the tavern, all the cultivators began refining Su Chen's gift, and the uproar exploded at that moment!
"This...this is..."
"My God! My bottleneck... the bottleneck that I've been stuck on for eight hundred years in the Mahayana stage has actually... actually loosened!"
"This Daoist aura... is truly profound!!"
"inherited!"
"Within this spiritual light lies not only a fortune comparable to the Azure Dragon's spiritual energy, but also a terrifyingly unprecedented immortal inheritance..."
"Ten Refinements to True Immortality... The power of Heaven, Earth, and Man..."
"This...this is simply an unheard-of supreme technique! Aren't True Immortals only of nine ranks?! Isn't the second realm only Heavenly Immortal Power and Earthly Immortal Power, corresponding to Profound Jade Immortal and Profound Immortal? How come there's also a Human Immortal Power realm..."
"hiss!"
"This is... could it be an even more ancient lineage of immortality!?"
After a brief silence, the entire Listening Wind Pavilion erupted in chaos!
All the cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level or how numb and desperate they had been before, now had a fanatical expression on their faces that was a mixture of ecstasy, shock, and endless piety!
They could clearly feel that the spiritual light that merged into their bodies was not just pure energy, but also a completely new "worldview"!
It was like a key that unlocked the door to "possibility" in their hearts, a door that had been imprisoned by the "order of heaven" for countless years!
The immortal techniques here are incredibly powerful.
if it is real.
Therefore, they would have accumulated two more minor realms than other normal True Immortals and Profound Jade Immortals...
of course.
This is not the most important.
Most importantly, their cultivation level is improving.
Especially those old monsters whose cultivation had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, they regarded it as a treasure!
They knew all too well that on this ancient star, Jianmu, successfully transcending tribulation and becoming a true immortal was an almost impossible dream.
The omnipresent demonic energy had already corrupted their foundation, making their inner demon tribulations a hundred times more terrifying than those outside!
However, at this moment, guided by that new Daoist aura, they were horrified to discover that the "demonic energy" that had plagued them all their lives seemed to be... not entirely "poison"!
According to the new theory of immortality, everything has two sides, with chaos and order coexisting. The so-called "demonic energy" is merely an extreme manifestation of "chaos" and "disorder" within the laws of the universe.
If one can harness it with a strong "self" will, instead of simply rejecting and fearing it, then one can transform it into a supreme furnace for tempering one's own Dao heart and refining one's own will!
This is a revolutionary theory of immortal cultivation that overturns all their understanding of the Dao for tens of thousands of years!
"thump!"
The "Wang Laosan" who had previously been sighing and lamenting that his cultivation had stagnated for a thousand years.
At this moment, without hesitation, he knelt down on both knees and performed a full prostration to Su Chen!
His voice trembled violently with overwhelming excitement:
"Senior... no! Master! Please accept this disciple's bow!"
"I will never forget the kindness of my Master in imparting the Dao!"
Once there was a first, there was a second, a third...
"Plop! Plop! Plop!"
For a moment, apart from Su Chen, there was no one else standing in the entire tavern!
Whether it was a powerful old monster in the Tribulation Transcending stage, a newcomer in the Qi Refining stage who had just embarked on the path of cultivation, or Liu, the tavern owner who was saved by Su Chen, everyone spontaneously and sincerely knelt down on the ground!
In their eyes burned a raging fire called "hope"!
"Please, Master, impart the Dao to us!"
"Please, Master, lead us out of this... prison abandoned by the gods!"
The overwhelming pleas converged into a torrent of will powerful enough to shake heaven and earth, echoing within the small Listening Wind Pavilion.
Su Chen watched the scene before him calmly, his face showing neither sorrow nor joy.
He neither immediately agreed nor refused.
He simply sat back down in his window seat, picked up the now-cold "Refreshing Tea," and took a small sip.
His voice was calm, yet it seemed to contain a power that went straight to the heart, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"I am not your master."
"I am merely a guide who brought a 'seed' to this desolate land."
“I call this path the ‘Path of the True Self’.”
"As long as you believe in your true self, you can cultivate to become a Ten-Refined True Immortal and a Three-Talent Profound Jade Immortal!"
"The so-called 'id' is the one that disrespects heaven and earth, does not worship ghosts and gods, and only believes in the unique 'self' that exists in the deepest part of each of your souls."
"Heaven regards you as ants and this place as a curse. Then you must use your own power to prove that even ants can shake the heavens! And that a curse can be transformed into... a blessing!"
"From this day forward, I will remain here for a hundred years."
"Within a hundred years, anyone who can purify a trace of demonic energy with their own will and walk their own 'path' can come here to listen to my teachings. As for how much they can comprehend, that depends on their own...fate."
After speaking, Su Chen closed his eyes, as if he had once again transformed into that unremarkable, unassuming young man in white.
However, at this moment, in the eyes of all the cultivators in the tavern, Su Chen's figure was even more majestic and... sacred than the legendary, lofty and supreme Heavenly Dao!
The mythical Heavenly Dao abandoned them.
and.
They even treated them as slaves, allowing the Heavenly Court to enslave them here.
They disrespect heaven and earth, do not worship ghosts and gods, and only believe in themselves!
What a courage!
How... domineering!
This is the voice that these beings, who have struggled in despair for countless years, truly yearn to hear!
This is the path they should be on!
Even if it's crazy!
But it's a road with unlimited potential!
They were already doomed, and only by risking their lives could they have a sliver of hope!
The crowd kowtowed again, and then, with an unprecedentedly firm light shining in their eyes, they slowly withdrew from Tingfeng Tower.
They knew that a storm powerful enough to change the fate of the entire ancient star Jianmu had quietly descended!
……
……
The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the Unyielding City in just three days, and then spreading wildly across the entire Jianmu Ancient Star at an even more terrifying speed!
"Have you heard? A mysterious white-robed 'Taoist Master' has arrived at Tingfeng Tower!" "It's more than just heard! It's said that he can make his words work, and with a single word, he killed a Heavenly Court Inspector of True Immortal level!"
"Most importantly, he can purify the demonic energy within us! He also passed down a supreme method called 'The Way of the True Self'! It is said to be ten thousand times more profound than the orthodox immortal techniques of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Really? Is there really such an extraordinary person in the world?"
In an instant, the entire planet trembled!
Countless cultivators flocked out from those remote, secluded mountains and forests, from those isolated caves and secret realms!
Their faces held doubt and curiosity, but even more so, an infinite yearning for "hope" that had been suppressed for countless years and suddenly erupted!
Like pilgrims, they flocked from all directions toward the Unyielding City, toward the already overcrowded "Listening Wind Tower"!
Despite all this, Su Chen remained unmoved.
He sat there day after day, in that window seat, like an unchanging sculpture.
He neither actively spreads the Dharma nor deliberately displays his divine abilities.
He was like a touchstone, testing the resolve of every living being who came before him in their quest for the Way.
Finally, on the seventh day.
An elderly man with white hair, whose cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage and whose lifespan was about to end, walked shakily to Su Chen.
He is the patriarch of the Feng family, one of the three major cultivation families in Unyielding City, known as "Feng Canyun".
His entire life was a struggle against the demonic energy within him, against that damned inner demon.
He watched helplessly as his relatives and friends fell one by one on the path to becoming a true immortal, their Dao hearts collapsing and turning to ashes.
Now, he has reached the end of his life.
He looked at Su Chen, his cloudy old eyes showing no reverence, but rather a calmness that seemed to have seen through life and death.
He slowly sat down cross-legged in front of Su Chen and asked in a hoarse voice:
"May I ask, Master, what is... 'self'?"
Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at the old man who had struggled in despair his entire life.
He countered with, "Who do you think you are?"
Feng Canyun was taken aback, then smiled bitterly and said, "I am Feng Canyun, a loser who is about to be swallowed up by this world."
“No.” Su Chen shook his head. “Feng Canyun is just your name. Loser is just your experience. These are just ‘labels’ given to you by the outside world. They are not the real you.”
Su Chen extended a finger and pointed it at Feng Canyun's withered brow.
"Close your eyes and feel with your heart."
"Cast aside your name, your cultivation, your past, and all the constraints of this world... In the deepest part of your soul, there lies that unique, eternal, and indestructible will... That is the true you."
Om-!
Feng Canyun's body suddenly trembled!
In his mind, his life experiences flashed by like a revolving lantern.
Glory, humiliation, joy, sorrow...
finally.
All the images have faded away.
Only the purest, most primal... consciousness of "existence" remains.
"I am me……"
Feng Canyun murmured unconsciously.
At that very moment, the violent demonic energy that had plagued him all his life seemed to have met its nemesis, and it let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain!
immediately.
It was actually suppressed and assimilated by that newly awakened, pure "self" will!
A perfectly harmonious aura, ten times stronger than before, shot into the sky from his body!
His long-depleted lifespan was miraculously... revitalized!
The bottleneck that had plagued him his entire life suddenly became clear at this moment!
This day.
Within this building, another true immortal emerged, his aura soaring straight into the sky.
It wouldn't be surprising if a true immortal were born on any other planet, but it's different here.
In an instant.
The four directions trembled once again.
"I understand……"
The wind blew through the clouds, and tears streamed down my face.
He bowed deeply to Su Chen.
This time, he was not worshipping a "master," but rather the one who guided him to find his "true self"... the pioneer of the Tao.
Once he has found his true self, he will live for himself.
Since then.
He can then cultivate the Ten Refinements True Immortal path and the Three Talents Profound Jade Immortal path.
Su Chen saw it very clearly as well.
On Feng Canyun's body, at the moment of his enlightenment, an unnamed thread shattered with a crash.
Since then.
The Heavenly Dao of Mythology can no longer draw even the slightest bit of nourishment from Feng Canyun.
Even if Feng Canyun cultivated to the level of Xuan Yu Immortal, Golden Immortal, or even the fourth realm, it would still be the same.
If Feng Canyun can really break through to the fourth realm.
Then.
He will no longer be a pseudo-fourth realm.
Rather, it is the true fourth realm, the Great Luo Immortal, the eleventh being of the Mythical Era!
"Ten-times-refined True Immortal, Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Talents Profound Jade Immortal, these are not enough."
"And this is the temptation that can make one a true fourth realm."
"Mythical Heavenly Dao!"
“I will truly sever your foundations, because… the hearts of the people are already with me…”
Su Chen squinted and gazed into the distance.
And at this time.
The mythical Heavenly Dao is probably completely unaware of this!
Feng Canyun's success was like lighting the first fuse.
More and more cultivators are beginning to try to find their own "path of self".
They either had sudden enlightenment, practiced arduous training, or broke through in battle...
In an instant, breakthroughs and inspirations surged throughout the entire Unyielding City!
In just one month, the overall strength of Unyielding City has increased several times over, with True Immortals being born one after another!
And this wildfire finally attracted the attention of those high and mighty "rulers"... (End of Chapter)
