Immortality begins with becoming a master weapon refiner

The Taihe Inheritance Secret Realm does not have the function of shielding against the void lightning tribulation. Once the breakthrough is completed, the feeling of being locked by the aura of the Heavenly Dao will come.

The clouds of calamity stretched far and wide, completely obscuring the sky above the secret realm. Even Mount Taihe, which separated the spatial layers, was shrouded in dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring.

This is the final tribulation of a fifth-grade cultivator, also known as the "Triple Void Tribulation." The next tribulation is the "Creation Tribulation," which is even more powerful and has a more profound effect on the Xuanpin (mysterious female aspect).

By enduring the physical pain, the newly opened grotto-heaven garden space can be stabilized, and its fundamental Dao source strengthened.

As the purple-gold tribulation lightning struck, Gu Qing activated his two natal spiritual treasures, the Heavenly Will Demon-Slaying Sword and the Netherworld Ghost-Slaying Sword, to accompany him in undergoing the tribulation's tempering.

After this battle, the two will become top-grade Heavenly Treasures, and their rank will be upgraded as he ascends to immortality.

What would be a stressful tribulation for others was merely something he could use, posing no pressure whatsoever.

After sensing it for a while, it deliberately tore through space and entered the void layer of the tribulation clouds, going straight into the void thunder pool to bathe in the source of the tribulation at the closest distance.

In just three days, the calamity clouds disappeared.

With his aura several times stronger, Gu Qing sat cross-legged on the bank of the Dan River once more. The tangible fragrance of the elixir filled his nostrils, helping him stabilize his cultivation level.

Reaching this point essentially marks the limit of the Cangwu cultivation world; the next step is the final stage of the middle-grade "True Immortal Realm."

Fourth-grade realm!

It is also divided into four steps —

The Void gives rise to Dharma, the Tower of Divine Chains, the Wondrous Path to Immortality, and the Great Calamity of Wind and Fire.

Legend has it that after breaking through to the fourth rank and surviving the nine-thousand-year tribulation of wind and fire, one can advance to the third rank "Celestial Immortal Realm," where one's lifespan will be as long as heaven and earth, free from the worry of old age and death.

Once one passes through one "Dao Tribulation" in each cycle, one can rest easy and be free from worries about lifespan.

But as for legends, no cultivator in the Cangwu cultivation world has ever truly achieved it; it is mostly recorded in the scriptures passed down by ascended cultivators.

As for the first three realms, they also revolve around the "Cave Heaven Immortal Garden," where the fifth-rank extreme cultivators initially condense their own Heavenly Dao Laws and Great Dao Origin.

What needs to be done is to continuously accumulate and enhance it.

The laws of immortality are the manifestation of the Dao fruit, transforming reality into illusion and merging into the rules of the immortal garden. Generally speaking, there are only two ways to further enhance them.

First, comprehend more Origin Pattern-level laws, integrate them into the Immortal Garden, and follow the path of "Attaining the Dao through All Laws".

Secondly, specialize in one or two laws, reproduce them within the Immortal Garden, perfect the world's rules, evolve laws of multiple natures, and follow the path of "one law leading to myriad paths".

For example, a Dao Lord who cultivates the Law of Thunder.

He needs to imbue the lightning with the characteristics of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, wind, ice, void, etc., as well as some characteristics of other laws. This cannot be achieved through fusion; the lightning must derive them from itself.

Both paths will eventually lead to the same destination.

What Gu Qing needs to do at the fifth-rank extreme level is to comprehend more law source patterns, integrate them into the "Cave Heaven Immortal Garden", and perfect his immortal laws.

On the other hand, the Great Dao is also his origin.

By managing this celestial garden well, he can comprehensively enhance his foundation and reserves of immortal energy.

The most straightforward method is to utilize the "spirit of magic" that merged into the grotto-heaven back then, and use its supernatural spirituality to give birth to living beings and create life!
This step is generally only achievable by reaching the fourth rank.

The so-called "Dharma arising from emptiness"

This void is not the void of Cangwu, but the void of "Cave Heaven Immortal Garden". Every world in the Three Thousand Realms of Guixu is the best teacher for cultivators.

Since it was born from the Dao Fruit and resides within the body, and Gu Qing's being based on the "Void Stomach Pouch," it inherently lacks a void layer. Therefore, it needs to strengthen the isolation between the immortal garden within the body and the outside world.

The void layer is artificially created and protected by laws; this is called the creation of laws from the void.

The three dantian of the human body are integrated into one, enveloping the "Cave Heaven Immortal Garden". Making a difference in this area is the homework that a fourth-grade cultivator needs to do.

For a moment, his body felt empty, with only this one thing remaining. Even the refined spiritual treasures poured into the "Cave Heaven Immortal Garden" to receive the nourishment of the Great Dao's origin, making everything completely different.

Although Gu Qing's physical body had long since achieved the unity of spirit and flesh, his primordial spirit still existed. Now, his primordial spirit had also merged into his inner world, giving it the ability to contain living beings.

Furthermore, they can draw upon the power of the Immortal Garden World at any time to empower themselves.

After stabilizing one's realm and becoming familiar with the new power.

He discovered that the most suitable method for him to improve his cultivation speed was actually the art of deducing supernatural powers, which could serve as a catalyst for his comprehension of other laws.

Forced in!

Comprehending the laws is closely related to comprehension, yet he can gain some enlightenment through supernatural deductions, thus strengthening his own immortal laws.

As for how to enhance the essence of "Cave Heaven Immortal Garden", he set his sights on rare treasures of heaven and earth and the secret realm of Jinyun.

The Devouring Technique continues to shine!

With a wave of his hand, the Taotie head appeared in his palm, containing the same portal to the Jinyun Secret Realm. In the blink of an eye, he could see it.

The Great Divine Power of Devouring Heaven and Earth was unleashed.

A black dot flew out of Gu Qing's mouth and transformed into a highly intelligent gluttonous beast in the next instant, devouring the special artifact that had accompanied him for almost his entire cultivation career.

The power to devour the heavens and the earth spread deep into the Jinyun Secret Realm along the connection between the two, and was completely incorporated into his inner world of "Cave Heaven Immortal Garden".

Spatial expansion and land growth.

Enlightenment Tea Tree, Seven Treasures Gourd Vine, Ancestral Pagoda, Island-Circling Spirit Liquid River, Void Spirit Absorption Array... and so on.

Treasures, buildings, spiritual liquids, and formations were all transferred to his inner world. Once Gu Qing completely digested them using the Devouring Method, the origin of the Great Dao would also be improved to a certain level.

This approach is actually taking a shortcut.

Using external things to nourish the internal, the grotto-heaven garden will eventually evolve into a world of its own. Consuming the external world to nourish the internal world is certainly a viable approach.

What Gu Qing least expected was that when the Heavenly Wonder - Heavenly Heart Lamp appeared in his inner world, it brought the greatest reaction, like a spring that constantly flowed out the origin of the Great Dao.

Eating it brought even greater benefits than swallowing the entire Jinyun Secret Realm, instantly making the entire inner world vibrant with life.

The three wonders of Heaven, Earth, and Man: the first two are wondrous objects formed from the essence of Heaven and Earth, with their own predetermined number and unpredictable effects, requiring a stroke of luck to obtain.

The extraordinary thing about humans is the Dao fruit of cultivators. Apart from being used by those who have exhausted their potential and borrowing the path of others, it is almost useless.

"Collecting rare and wondrous things from heaven and earth..."

As Gu Qing thought of this, the Earth Emperor Seal appeared deep within the earth of his inner world, transforming into a high mountain to suppress the earth, and the power of the earth element suddenly became dozens of times stronger.

The medium-grade Heavenly Treasure was made from two rare earth artifacts: the heart of the earth's veins and the veins of a mountain.

Gu Qing's standards for artifacts have now risen significantly. Anything other than a top-grade, heaven-reaching spiritual treasure or immortal artifact offers him very little help; integrating them into his inner world is actually a good option. (End of Chapter)
