What I teach you is real stuff.

Every cultivation technique has its limits, a principle that has been proven in the Immortal Realm.

Because all cultivation methods in the immortal realm are created by humans after birth, even the cultivation methods practiced by some ancient gods are like this.

What are the top-tier cultivation techniques in the Immortal Realm? The Pangu Scripture, the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, the Three Pure Ones Techniques, and the Hongjun Daoist Arts.

However, no matter how powerful these techniques are, they all have limits. As long as one has enough potential, one can cultivate to the limit. Once a technique is cultivated to its limit, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort and increase the cultivation speed several times.

At the same time, the limit also represents the limit of one's realm, the effect of cultivating spiritual energy, immortal energy purity, strength level, and other aspects.

First, there is the limit to one's cultivation level. Different levels of cultivation techniques represent the maximum level one can reach. Some inferior techniques become difficult to improve after reaching a certain level, progress is slow, or one's cultivation level stagnates. To advance further, one can only switch to a higher-level technique or have a powerful expert help improve the technique.

Secondly, it depends on the purity and strength of the spiritual energy and immortal energy cultivated.

These two terms essentially mean the same thing: the higher the level of cultivation technique, the different the purity of the spiritual energy and immortal energy it generates, which directly affects a person's strength within the same realm.

The higher the level of the cultivation technique, the stronger the person who cultivates it.

This is why Lu Yuan's disciples are so powerful; they started by cultivating top-level techniques produced by an extremely high-level system.

The reason why Chen Nanxuan, Xiao Huo, and their group are still so ineffective in their cultivation is also due to the nature of their techniques.

Advanced cultivation techniques directly affect a person's strength and potential.

However, even the highest-level cultivation techniques in the immortal realm, such as the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, the Pangu Scripture, and the Three Pure Ones Technique, have their limits.

The maximum increase in cultivation will not exceed a thousand times, and the upper limit of the realm will not exceed Quasi-Saint.

This is the limit of the immortal realm.

Even the Three Pure Ones, these top-tier beings who have attained sainthood, must find their own path forward if they want to continue cultivating after breaking through to sainthood. Once their previous cultivation techniques reach their limit, they must explore on their own to continue advancing.

However, Lu Yuan discovered that the cultivation techniques from outside the realm seemed different; they appeared to have no limits.

He has now cultivated the Demonic Death Scripture to the ninth level. Standing on the foundation of the ninth level, he originally thought that he had cultivated this technique to its limit, but after actually stepping on it, he found that what lay ahead was still chaos, or rather, a much wider world.

The cultivation techniques inherited from beyond the realm do not have the restrictions of the immortal realm and can transcend limits.

"The rules of the outer world are so different from those of the immortal realm. These outer world cultivation techniques have no limits, doesn't that mean they can cultivate endlessly and explore infinite realms? Could this be related to cultivation techniques generated from chaos?"

Lu Yuan instantly recalled the introduction about extraterrestrial cultivation techniques that the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect had mentioned before.

He said that the cultivation techniques in the outer world were not created by humans, but were naturally born from chaos and constructed by the outer heavenly Dao itself.

After the cultivation method was created, it was practiced by all the races outside the realm. The most suitable tribes to practice this kind of cultivation method were selected to live and multiply. This was not considered as developing the cultivation method or enhancing the tribe's power.

This is how the Mara Death Sutra came about, including the name of the Heavenly Mara race, which also derives from the Mara Death Sutra.

In comparison, the tribes of the outer world seem more like they are serving the cultivation techniques.

Now, standing on the ninth level of this cultivation technique, Lu Yuan was not seeing the limit of the Demonic Death Scripture, but a much wider and more boundless world, which shocked him.

He might now understand why there are so many saints outside the realm. Besides the fact that the Heavenly Dao outside the realm doesn't block the sainthood, a large part of the reason lies in this cultivation method.

This technique is so powerful that it can be practiced endlessly without limit. Over time, there will naturally be more saints from beyond the realm.

Lu Yuan: "So if I were a native being from beyond the realm, I could eventually become a saint by cultivating this native technique in this beyond the realm. Isn't that a bit too unfair to the beings of the immortal realm?"

The more Lu Yuan practiced the techniques from beyond the realm, the more he felt how unfair fate was.

The beings in this extraterrestrial world are like rich kids, born with divine powers and everything they could ever want. They can advance in their cultivation without anyone blocking their path; almost anyone with talent can become a saint.

In contrast, the Immortal Realm is practically a breeding ground for evil spirits. Not only do they not bestow cultivation techniques from the heavens, but anyone who wants to improve has to work hard, and even then, it's not very effective. There are only a few Saintly positions, all of which have been occupied by predecessors, making it impossible for newcomers to become Saints. Furthermore, cultivation techniques have their limits, and the gap is simply too vast.

In comparison, the outer realms are even a paradise for cultivators. But here's the question: if the outer realms are so wonderful, why did these cultivators from the outer realms go to attack the Immortal Realm back then?
Since the outer world is so wonderful, why is the outer world of races so chaotic and disordered, including the Heavenly Dao itself, with constant warfare between the various tribes, which the people of the Immortal Realm call extraterrestrial demons?

Lu Yuan had a feeling that there was some great secret involved, but he wasn't qualified to learn more yet. After all, he wasn't even a Quasi-Saint yet, and he hadn't even touched the threshold to explore more of the world's secrets.

Only the strength of a quasi-saint can be the key to exploring the true top-level world.

Putting those issues aside for the time being, Lu Yuan's current task is to explore more of the core of the Mara Death Scripture.

He is now one of the very few, if not the only one, in the Immortal Realm to have touched upon and cultivated extraterrestrial techniques to their peak.

He's probably the only one in the immortal realm who could discover this secret.

Lu Yuan didn't know if any of those top-tier powers knew this secret, but since he did, he naturally had some thoughts about it.

The Book of the Death of the Demon King has no limits, so does that mean one can rely on it to cultivate beyond the realm and reach the Quasi-Saint level or even break through to Sainthood?

Of course, if one breaks through to the Saint realm outside the realm and arrives in the Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Realm may not recognize it, and one would need to break through to the Saint realm again in the Immortal Realm.

In other words, Lu Yuan might be able to break through to the Saint Realm in the outer realms first, and then explore the Saint Realm in the Immortal Realm. This way, the difficulty might be greatly reduced.

"The realm of saints is mysterious and unpredictable. Taking the normal path to sainthood is almost impossible in the immortal realm. It is said that in ancient times, when Dao Ancestor Hongjun preached in Zixiao Palace, there were three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace. There were already secrets that spread. In the immortal realm, the Heavenly Dao had already determined the positions of the six saints."

As early as the ancient times of the Immortal Realm, the positions of the six saints and the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for sainthood, had already been divided up. Without Primordial Purple Qi and a saintly position, it was almost impossible to become a saint in the Immortal Realm.

This has been verified by many quasi-saints from top powers in the Immortal Realm.

No matter how confident Lu Yuan was in himself, he was not the kind of person who looked down on others. Although his strength, background and potential were great, he did not think that he was the only hero in the world.

There are always people more powerful than you, and heavens beyond heavens. Among the top powers in the Immortal Realm today, which one who can become a Quasi-Saint is not an unparalleled figure in the world? Tathagata, Maitreya, Dipankara, Ksitigarbha, Haotian, Styx, Zhenyuanzi...

If any of these people had the opportunity to become saints, wouldn't they all have? To put it bluntly, they just don't have the right to become saints.

Although Lu Yuan has the system, it is almost impossible for him to surpass these quasi-saint seniors in the Immortal Realm and reach the saint realm first by taking the conventional route.

But perhaps there's a chance if we take the path of achieving sainthood beyond the realms.

"If I first become a saint in the outer realms, experience the saintly realm there, analyze it from a saint's perspective, and then return to the immortal realm to strive for sainthood, then the probability of becoming a saint in the immortal realm will be much higher."

By studying more cultivation techniques from beyond the realms and combining them with the top techniques of the Immortal Realm, we might be able to create a unique path to sainthood that belongs solely to the Immortal Realm, perhaps even breaking the shackles of sainthood attainment there.

Lu Yuan's idea is good. To put it simply, it's like the Chinese version of the game has basically locked the upper limit of a certain character's ability. No matter how hard the top players in the Chinese version grind, they can't unlock the upper limit of a certain character's ability.

Now, Lu Yuan has unexpectedly found another way. He has accessed the international server and discovered that the ability cap of a certain character is unlocked. Therefore, Lu Yuan can first max out the ability cap of a certain character in the international server, reach the maximum level, and deeply experience the character's data, attributes, and skills.

If they return to the Chinese server with maxed-out experience, and these maxed-out veterans return to the starting village, perhaps they can pave a new path.

Becoming a saint first, and then exploring the path to sainthood, is far better than blindly advancing towards sainthood.

Lu Yuan's path is almost impossible to replicate. Not to mention that the big shots in the Immortal Realm would not cultivate extraterrestrial techniques, the major tribes in the extraterrestrial realms would not allow powerful figures from the Immortal Realm to plunder and cultivate their tribal techniques.

Because once this kind of thing is discovered, its nature is completely different from Lu Yuan's case.

First of all, Lu Yuan does not belong to any of the top powers in the Immortal Realm; he is a rogue cultivator. Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan is quite tolerant of him. However, if a Quasi-Saint from a top power in the Immortal Realm were to steal and cultivate the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan's techniques, that would be a different story.

It would be quite possible that this could become the catalyst for a second major war between the two sides.

Lu Yuan felt increasingly that this opportunity was enormous, so he became even more cautious and meticulous.

He took a deep breath.

"Now that I have cultivated the Demonic Death Scripture to the ninth level, I should be able to refine the million-year-old new branch of the Golden Soul Ancient Tree without any risk. I will refine the new branch first, and then think about the cultivation method."

The mystique of foreign cultivation techniques and the path to sainthood can wait for now; there's no rush.

The most important thing is to finish what you're doing now and refine the new branches first.

In order to refine this hard-won new branch without risk, Lu Yuan spent many years comprehending the Demonic Death Scripture. Now that he has reached the ninth level of the technique, it is natural for him to refine the new branch.

He took out a new branch, used the method given to him by Feng Wu, the first ancestor of the Tianmo Luo Clan, grabbed it, and immediately began to refine it.

It took nearly nine hundred years to refine the new branch. The energy contained within the new branch was powerful and vast, and Lu Yuan was very careful and meticulous in refining it. Naturally, he did not want to waste a single bit of energy on such a precious thing.

So it's normal for it to take a while.

One day, within the small world of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, a powerful aura suddenly arose, as if a demon god had awakened, its powerful divine soul and spiritual energy affecting the entire small world of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan.

Several Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan were startled upon immediately sensing this divine soul power.

"Such powerful spiritual energy."

"This aura has already reached the Quasi-Saint realm? Has another Quasi-Saint appeared in our clan?"

"No, the direction from which this spiritual aura is coming is... Lu Yuan's cave heaven?"

The quasi-saints of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan had already realized that the source of the suddenly appearing powerful soul force was Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan has been in their Tianmo Luo tribe's small world for over a thousand years.

For such a long time, he had been in seclusion studying the Demon Luo Death Scripture and refining the new branch. In fact, during this time, several Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan had already developed quite a few opinions about him.

The initial reason for bringing him back was to arrange a marriage between Lu Yuan and the Tianmo Luo Clan, thereby improving the bloodline of their descendants.

As a result, after this guy returned, he gave the Tianmolu clan a good meal and received a lot of benefits before going into seclusion. He stayed in seclusion for more than a thousand years, while the Tianmolu clan had been waiting for the clan's holy maiden that they had chosen for Lu Yuan for more than a thousand years.

Did they really think the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan were honest people and then mess with them?
Fortunately, the First Ancestor of Feng Wu and that Saint of the Tianmo Luo Clan were patient; otherwise, given the tempers of those Quasi-Saints, they probably would have already dragged Lu Yuan out to do something.

But now, as soon as Lu Yuan's soul aura appeared, the expressions of those Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan who were originally quite dissatisfied with Lu Yuan changed instantly.

This Lu Yuan refined the new branch, and his soul power directly broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm.
If they remember correctly, Lu Yuan's cultivation level was only at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm when he first came to their Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, right?
In other words, the peak Golden Immortal realm possesses soul power comparable to a Quasi-Saint. How incredible is that?
Compared to this ability, it seems that being in seclusion for over a thousand years is not so important.

Ancestor Feng Wu appeared and said, "Let's go. Fellow Daoist Lu has come out of seclusion. We should go and visit him."

Lu Yuan's soul aura is now comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint, and his divine soul power has reached the Quasi-Saint realm. Strictly speaking, regardless of his actual realm, he can be considered half a Quasi-Saint.

Therefore, even the way Feng Wu, the first ancestor of the Tianmo Luo clan, addressed Lu Yuan changed.

What started as "Young Friend Lu" at our first meeting has now become "Fellow Daoist Lu".

Now that they could be treated as equals, the quasi-saints of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan who had previously held reservations about Lu Yuan had no choice but to abandon their original opinions.

Because no matter what, if Lu Yuan's soul power really reaches the Quasi-Saint level ahead of schedule, he can already be called a Quasi-Saint, and can be treated as an equal with them. They can no longer be too rude in the future.

Lu Yuan's progress far exceeded their expectations. He had reached the Quasi-Saint level today, and who knows when he would become a Saint. If they continued with this attitude, how would they face him when he became a Saint before them? It was better to be polite in advance, after all, it's always good to leave room for maneuver in the future.

Before Lu Yuan even emerged from seclusion, several Quasi-Saint level experts from the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, rarely seen on ordinary days, were already waiting outside his secluded cave. (End of Chapter)
