Chapter 323: Chapter 320 Comprehension of the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals
"True Understanding of Celestial Immortals! It’s the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals!"
"In those days, Emperor Tianji himself comprehended it from the Sky Extreme Sword. It not only possesses the cultivation method of the Saint Realm but also contains the steps toward becoming an Earthly True Immortal, even pointing towards achieving the True Immortal Dao Fruit."
"Has Di Luo really so readily brought out the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals!?"
Below the stage, each Primordial Spirit Monarch, including Gaia, a Heavenly Immortal, became restless, their emotions fluctuating wildly.
Even Gu Jinlai instantly fixed his gaze on that volume of the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals.
The True Understanding of Celestial Immortals, authored by Emperor Tianji based on his own cultivation path, meticulously details how to achieve the status of Devas, Saints, and Earthly True Immortals, and even points further toward the direction of attaining the True Immortal Dao Fruit.
Of course, since he himself had not achieved the True Immortal Dao Fruit, viewing longevity only as a concept, this direction could only be used as a reference.
Yet, even so, the value of this cultivation technique was still immeasurable.
Indeed, even the value of a cultivation technique that could lead one to become a Saint was extremely high.
Do not be deceived; everyone knows what the conditions to become a Saint are, just like on Blue Star, all countries know that possessing mature nuclear weapon technology can make them first-class powers, but what about the reality?
Knowing this and achieving this are two totally different levels of difficulty.
"Lord Di Luo, the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals, are you truly letting us consult it freely?"
Purple Night Sword Sect’s Mu Yun asked, unable to contain his eagerness.
"Of course."
Di Luo gestured invitingly with an open hand: "Please feel free to look."
"Excuse me then."
Seeing this, Mu Yun didn’t hesitate for a moment longer; he swiftly approached the high platform and started flipping through the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals.
The entire process went without any mishap.
This scene made Gaia equally impatient, and she rapidly moved forward.
"Everyone can take it step by step, start with the Devas Chapter, then to the Saints Chapter, and the Earthly True Immortals Chapter."
Di Luo seemed very open-minded, even kindly pointing things out from the side.
On hearing about the "Devas" Chapter, the other Monarchs couldn’t sit still any longer and began to come forward.
Lu Zhanxian, Gu Jinlai, Fang Daoqian, Monarch You Quan and others exchanged glances.
"Let’s take a look."
"Di Luo has made a vow. Unless he does not wish to achieve the realm of Earthly True Immortal in the future, he wouldn’t play tricks with the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals," said Lu Zhanxian.
Gu Jinlai nodded his head.
Although they knew that there must be some conspiracy involved, no one could resist the temptation of the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals.
Even he didn’t make an exception before seeing imminent danger approaching.
At most, he could only allocate a part of his spirit to the Qiankun Ring in his hand, ready to release the Cheng Ying Mecha from it at the first sign of danger.
With the formidable capability of the Cheng Ying Mecha, even if Di Luo and Wu Tiandi really had some scheme, he could still forcibly break out and return south of Tianhe.
"Devas."
Gu Jinlai moved forward.
He had seen descriptions about Devas in the Sect Suppressing Techniques of Purgatory Sect, Netherworld Sect, and Dragon Sparrow Manor.
The most distinctive feature of a cultivator at this realm was to comprehend the momentum of heaven and earth and attain spiritual sublimation, supporting the Primordial Spirit to leverage the power of heaven and earth for their own use.
Simply meeting these two criteria would naturally lead one into the domain of Devas.
However, the requirements, though few, were extremely difficult to meet.
The momentum of heaven and earth represented the Tendency Realm. Back then, in order to comprehend the Enlightenment Realm, Gu Jinlai had added several cultivation techniques, enduring thousands of hardships; the comprehension of the Mental Realm was rare among cultivators, let alone the Tendency Realm.
Gu Jinlai had considered having the Demon God Guards comprehend the Enlightenment, Mental, and Tendency Realms to fill the gaps in the Demon God Warrior System, but eventually, he gave up.
It was too difficult!
Apart from those Supreme prodigies, even those with exceptional talent might spend ten years honing their martial arts and still fail to grasp the Enlightenment Realm, not to mention the Mental Realm after thirty years, and the Tendency Realm usually took over a hundred years.
Although Demon God Warriors did not have the short lifespans of Demon Martial Artists, who lived only about a dozen or so years, or even just a few years, at most they lived as long as common humans, surviving only until their seventies or eighties. In a life necessitating rigorous practice of the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method, and the mastery of swordsmanship, fist techniques, and movement techniques, comprehending the Mental Realm was not easy, let alone the Tendency Realm.
After observing for a while, Gaia, being a Deva, had already impatiently flipped through to the Saints Chapter of the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals.
Upon reaching this Chapter, Gaia’s eyes gleamed brightly.
"Absolute mastery over the momentum of heaven and earth, turning it into a Heaven and Earth Furnace to condense the Undying Will. Regardless of how the body, Primordial Spirit, or Essence changes form, no matter how it is tempered repeatedly, it always maintains the indestructibility of the will..."
These are two of the three major conditions of the Saint Realm.
As for the third condition, the method of forging a Holy Body and gathering materials, while not universally known, is fairly common knowledge.
At least, every major force present has one method of cultivating an Immortal Golden Body suited for forging a Saint Body.
"The Heaven and Earth Furnace formed by the momentum of heaven and earth in the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals can actually borrow external forces!"
Gu Jinlai examined the records above: "Either visit a highly active volcano to use the Earth Evil True Fire to temper the Immortal Essence Gold, or delve deep into the ocean to use the extreme pressure for refining... However, although the Saint Body forged in such harsh environments is powerful, the requirements for the Undying Will are also higher..."
There were several methods to construct the Heaven and Earth Furnace based on different external environments outlined here, with detailed adjustments based on the external conditions.
A slight difference in details could result in drastically different effects.
These words could be described as invaluable; they were almost the most precious treasures.
Nevertheless, what Gu Jinlai anticipated most was the Condensation Technique for the Undying Will described in the True Understanding of Celestial Immortals.
Without needing his prompting, Gaia, the Heavenly Immortal from the Earth Mother Divine Sect, had already eagerly flipped to the stage of condensing the Undying Will.
Undying Will, as its name implies, is composed of indestructible spirit, belief, and will.
There are many methods to cultivate Undying Will.
The True Understanding of Heavenly Immortals records several types of will.
Supreme Will, Invincible Will, Will of All Living Beings, Dominator Will, and so on!
Emperor Tianji had cultivated the Invincible Will in those days.
He was invincible.
The method to cultivate this type of will is quite simple, which is to fight!
Invincible in battle!
After defeating a powerful opponent, the will becomes more refined and stronger.
When this strength reaches a peak, Undying Will becomes condensed.
When one becomes strong enough to be unmatched in the entire world, Undying Will reaches its perfection.
"Unmatched in the whole world..."
Gu Jinlai looked at this type of will with some regret.
The current Qiantian is different from two hundred years ago.
Two hundred years ago, Qiantian was ruled by the Devas; in other words, the strongest beings were the Devas.
Aspiring to be invincible and achieving that goal seemed hopeful at the peak of the Devas Realm.
But now, there are several Saints.
There is also Master Wushi, the Earthly True Immortal who has dominated the top spot for two hundred years.
If one wishes to be unmatched, they must defeat him first.
In other words, if someone really chooses the path of main cultivation from True Understanding of Heavenly Immortals, their Mental Realm will never reach perfection in this lifetime.
And achieving perfection in Undying Will is one of the prerequisites for becoming an Earthly True Immortal.
To become an Earthly True Immortal, one must find one’s own Dao.
Dao!
It is an even grander existence compared to the Undying Will.
Undying Will represents the individual, while Dao represents heaven, earth, and the universe. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
This is the beginning of the transformation from human to immortal.
That is why this realm is often termed as Earthly True Immortal, Earth Immortal, Demi Immortal, Void Immortal.
Not truly immortal, yet possessing traits of immortality, genuinely stepping onto the path of becoming immortal.
Moreover, when a cultivator finds their own Dao and attempts to harmonize with it while trying to wield the heavens and earth, it will evoke heaven and earth to retaliate.
This is undergoing tribulation.
Finding one’s own Dao, integrating the Dao with their being, bestowed with heavenly mandate, and surpassing the Heavenly Tribulation, they will become an Earthly True Immortal.
Beyond this, is proving one’s Dao, equating Dao with heaven, the True Immortal abides forever, watching over long life.
All types of will recorded on the True Understanding of Heavenly Immortals have corresponding Dao after transformation.
This is the cultivation method to strive for the realm of Earthly True Immortals.
Even, Undying Will and the Dao of Earthly True Immortal are too mysterious, beyond the capacity of words.
Luckily, the version of True Understanding of Heavenly Immortals brought out by Di Luo is genuine, nearly equivalent to a Dao Artifact.
When people immerse their Divine Thought in it, True Understanding of Heavenly Immortals can vividly convey the essence of this will and the Dao of Earthly True Immortal, prompting the observer into a deeper level of comprehension.
As a Heavenly Master, though Gu Jinlai does not possess Divine Thought, his Spiritual Sense shares a slight similarity with Divine Thought and he can somehow manage to observe, though not as profoundly as others.
He deeply sensed the mysteries of various Undying Wills and the Dao of Earthly True Immortals, virtually being unable to extricate himself.
However, after contemplating for a moment, he began to feel something was amiss.
The allure of Undying Will and the "Dao" of Earthly True Immortal was too strong.
So powerful that when they used Divine Thought for comprehension, it felt as if they truly touched the Undying Will and understood the Dao of Earthly True Immortal.
That divinity, that power, was irresistibly fascinating.
"Something’s wrong."
Gu Jinlai suddenly snapped out of it and moved his Spiritual Sense away from True Understanding of Heavenly Immortals.
But at the moment he shifted his focus, a strong sense of rejection and emptiness arose in his heart, as if a supreme being who originally possessed the power to move mountains and seas suddenly returned to reality, falling to a mere "tiny" Primordial Spirit Monarch.
It was like living luxuriously in a big city and suddenly returning to a poor, backward village.
Not only unable to enjoy the conveniences of life but also enduring others’ constant nagging and doing various farming tasks—the intense rejection and disparity made him desperate to leave the village at the fastest speed and re-enter the big city.
Even though he might not be able to stand on his own in the big city, and the so-called prosperity had nothing to do with him.
Fortunately, Gu Jinlai was practicing Spiritual Sense and not Divine Thought, so he quickly managed to recover.
He suddenly pushed Lu Zhanxian, who was beside him, transmitting a message through Spiritual Sense, "Enough."
Lu Zhanxian was startled by the push from Gu Jinlai. He glanced at Gu Jinlai, and immediately said, "Opportunities are rare, Venerable Daoist Gu shouldn’t waste this precious time. Let’s seize the moment to deeply understand the marvels of Undying Will and the Dao of Earthly True Immortal."
After transmitting the message, he stopped paying attention to Gu Jinlai and once again immersed his Divine Thought in the "comprehension" of True Understanding of Heavenly Immortals.
