Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

The Great Dream Immortal Lord has been the strongest human for many years. Eight thousand years ago, he listened to the teachings of the Twelve Immortal Lords. His lifespan is only halfway through, so in a sense, he is just a middle-aged man.

His imposing presence was so great that a single glance from him could silence these younger generations.

If it weren't for cultivating the [Heavenly Dream Path] with the aim of mastering the three thousand laws, and having an extremely powerful ambition for the laws like Gu Qing, he might have ascended to immortality even earlier than the demon immortals of three thousand years ago.

Gu Qing attained the Dao through "fire," or more accurately, through "devouring." Fire was merely a vessel that allowed him to utilize the law of devouring to integrate the vessels of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The same goes for the Great Dream Immortal Lord. He uses "dreams" as a vehicle to carry the three thousand Great Dao Laws. The two have the same goal, but they take different paths.

Ordinary fifth-rank cultivators are already exceptionally powerful after cultivating one or two laws. These particularly greedy individuals crave the strength they gain after ascension and covet even greater paths in the Dao.

It will inevitably take more time and energy to gradually perfect one's own path.

Gu Qing had the Heavenly Flame to take a shortcut, skipping countless years of arduous cultivation, while the Great Dream Immortal Lord could only rely on himself. It was precisely because he possessed so many methods that he earned the reputation of being the strongest.

Their sudden appearance inevitably usurped the sovereignty of this meeting.

"The demonic path is weak, and the Cangwu cultivation world has never had fertile ground for them to survive. Even though this time they are targeting the demon race, you should not be complacent."

"Once we deal with the demon race, they will be our next enemy to deal with."

"As for the death of Tianjianzi."

The Great Dream Immortal Lord paused for a moment, then conjured a water mirror with his hand, showing the moment when the Sun Devouring Hou and the Heavenly Sword Child fell together.

Qimen Sword Lord's eyes lit up, but before he could speak, Great Dream Immortal Lord shook his head.

"I wasn't there at the time; this is a rudimentary application of the law of time, a few glimpses of the past."

Tian Yunzi couldn't help but say.

"Has the Immortal Lord mastered the Law of Time?"

This is a sensitive issue. Some of them participated in the Great Teleportation Plan and were forced to practice the Heavenly Shuttle Secret Technique, which led to their rejection by the Heavenly Dao.

This aversion stems from the fact that too many people in the Cangwu cultivation world have mastered the forbidden techniques, with the accumulation of the power of time being the main factor.

But if the laws are violated, it's like dancing in a minefield. What if the Heavenly Dao lowers its threshold again and begins to impose the Ascension Tribulation on a fifth-rank high-level cultivator?
This concern is not unfounded.

The Great Dream Immortal Lord clearly knew this, and he smiled easily.

"Having grasped a little bit of the basics, in my judgment, as long as a second cultivator who comprehends the Law of Time does not appear, the Heavenly Dao can still tolerate it for the time being."

"Once the problem of the barren worms is solved, this tolerance level will increase significantly. Based on this experience, at least ten cultivators can be allowed to master this forbidden power."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing's heart tightened. He had a large Chinese toon tree stump in his hand and originally wanted to start his comprehension through the [Law of Time and Death], but it was not appropriate to say it openly at this time.

He could only postpone it again. After all, such a powerful law, with time almost at the pinnacle of all rules and principles, would not allow him to give up this opportunity for in-depth comprehension if he were to master it first.

Back to topic.

In the past scenes that the Great Dream Immortal Lord recalled, the scene before the two extremely powerful beings died was a demonic gate resembling a door swallowing them whole.

Its appearance closely resembles the legendary Netherworld Gate.

Based on the remaining traces of the spiritual energy surge, they lost their life force the moment they were swallowed; otherwise, the feedback from the [Path of Ascension] would not have appeared on the western border.

"But the Netherworld Gate is just an inanimate object. Legend has it that one must enter this gate to be reincarnated. How could it possess the power to instantly kill even a top-level expert?!"

"No."

Tian Yunzi sighed and said with a bitter smile, "It wasn't that he killed them; he was probably forcibly entered into reincarnation."

"Forced entry into reincarnation?"

The concept of reincarnation is inherently vague and ethereal, existing only in legends. No one has ever personally experienced it and returned to leave a record, so how could it be forced upon us?

"Tian Yunzi, do you mean they died because they were forced into reincarnation, rather than they were forced into reincarnation after they died?"

The words are a bit convoluted, but the different order in which they are spoken makes them completely different in meaning.

"That's right. The question is, who summoned this Netherworld Gate and gained control of reincarnation... or did they merely borrow its power?"

"Great Dream Immortal Lord frowned."

"These kinds of things are mostly things that were born after the creation of heaven and earth. They are the embodiment of the rules themselves, not man-made. It is unrealistic to talk about mastering them. It is more like borrowing power from the netherworld."

The Golden Mother of the Northern Sea spoke at the opportune moment.

"So it must be the work of the Netherworld Lord. One Netherworld Lord isn't enough to control the Netherworld Gate. They are indeed born as Netherworld Lords, but being able to borrow power from the Netherworld doesn't mean they can control it at will."

"Otherwise, wouldn't they have already invaded Cangwu in the mortal realm?!"

"rational."

"Just as the Heavenly Dao favors the human race, the number of strong human beings is increasing, and there are even geniuses like Fellow Daoist Gu, but they are not directly empowered by the Heavenly Dao to become invincible in the world."

The one who said this was the Third Daoist of Taihe Mountain. He used Gu Qing as an example and gave him a little flattery. Gu Qing smiled kindly when he looked over.

Gu Qing: "…………That makes sense~"

He saved his life with the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Divine Power, which consumed a lot of the power of his Dragon and Phoenix Immortal Body. Although he can recover slowly, the debt of gratitude for saving his life is immense.

Given Gu Qing's strength, Taihe Mountain clearly intends to befriend him, unlike before when their respectful demeanor betrayed a sense of distance, and they adopted a purely businesslike attitude.

This is a positive trend.

The discussion is almost over, and the next plan will be decided by Immortal Lord Da Meng.

"The war has not yet ended. Regardless of the outcome, the grand plan of the immortal sect cannot be delayed, as it will affect everyone's cultivation. We must also guard against the Netherworld calamity."

"I will speak with the Heavenly Demon Emperor if necessary."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood what the Great Dream Immortal Lord meant.

What Heaven despises is the "Path of Ascension," because the benefits it brings exceed the bottom line of the operation of order, and Heaven can no longer tolerate it.

The demon race originally cultivated the [Spirit Devouring Path], just like the dragon race—the path of devouring the essence of heaven and earth! This is harmful to the world, and if this continues, the Cangwu Realm will fall into a minor world and gradually move towards the end of the Dharma era.

After the Heavenly Dao slew the dragon, the demon race was terrified and turned to cultivating their bloodlines. The wild beasts and savage beasts among the eleven desolate bloodlines are typical bloodline ferocious beasts, whose intelligence is questionable.

Only by advancing to the level of "Immortal Being" can one possess higher intelligence.

When the human race created the [Path of Ascension], it was at the end of the ancient demon court's rule. Now, they have long since switched to the Path of Ascension, and the dragon race is no exception.

Therefore, the aversion of Heaven is not just a problem for the human race, but for all cultivators on the path of spiritual ascension. This is why the Dragon Clan made the decisive decision to cooperate.

Gu Qing's status as a son-in-law was merely a catalyst, giving the Dragon Clan an excuse to help. (End of Chapter)
