The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 570 Modifying the Rules: Three Disasters
For example, after breaking through to the Saint level, one can absorb immortal energy containing immortal substances to maintain longevity.

For example, during a tribulation, cultivators or artifacts of a higher realm are not allowed to interfere, otherwise the power of the tribulation will be increased accordingly.

For example, if the True Immortal Tribulation reappears, as long as one's cultivation level is sufficient, one can attract the True Immortal Tribulation and transcend it to break through to the True Immortal realm.

……

Li Daoming doesn't need to worry about these things; the Boundless Immortal Realm will develop appropriate rules on its own based on the world's situation.

Some may wonder, if the Boundless Immortal Realm can develop appropriate rules based on the world's situation, then why does Li Daoming need to modify the rules?
The reason is simple: the Boundless Immortal Realm lacks intelligence. When it generates rules, it only instinctively maintains the stability and development of the world.

It will not establish appropriate rules to urge the world's strong to make greater contributions to the world's growth.

For example, a sage can absorb the immortal energy containing the substance of immortality to maintain longevity.

Is this a problem?
No, the chaotic energy absorbed and transformed by the Boundless Immortal Realm is enough to support the cultivation of a massive number of saints. Moreover, the saints can go to the Chaotic Heavens and preside over the operation of the Two Elements Micro Dust Immortal Array to transform more chaotic energy for the Boundless Immortal Realm, allowing them to enjoy longevity. There is no major problem with this.

However, once they achieve immortality, no matter how hard they try to cultivate, their cultivation level will not improve, and without the limitation of lifespan, they might choose to give up.

He stopped cultivating and transforming chaotic energy, spending his days absorbing immortal energy, savoring delicacies, enjoying dances and music, and flirting with beauties...

If they live, wouldn't they just be wasting the resources of the Boundless Immortal Realm?

Moreover, under the rule of the Boundless Holy Court, most battles and struggles take place in the virtual universe. In the real world, once one has cultivated to the level of a saint, life-or-death battles are rare.

If fewer people die, the number of saints will accumulate more and more, and they will not contribute to the Wuji Immortal Realm or convert more chaotic energy. Sooner or later, the Wuji Immortal Realm will not be able to support so many saints.

He also felt that the lifespan of cultivators at the Dao-Slaying King level and below was too long.

What's the point of giving them such long lifespans? If they can't break through to the level of a saint, they'll only be wasting the power of heaven and earth. It would be better for them to return to heaven and earth sooner, so that heaven and earth can nurture more geniuses and give birth to more powerful beings.

……

Li Daoming naturally had to revise or add the corresponding rules to address these issues, allowing the Wuji Immortal Realm to develop and grow stronger faster.

Although he wanted to modify or add relevant rules to allow the Wuji Immortal Realm to develop and grow better and faster, Li Daoming was not in a hurry to modify or establish them.

Li Daoming was extremely cautious about this matter because the impact was too great and the scope too broad, leaving him no choice but to be careful.

He didn't want to modify or establish new rules, causing major problems and leading to great turmoil in the already stable Wuji Immortal Realm.

After much deliberation and reflection, Li Daoming finally decided to revise the established rules.

Li Daoming does not intend to modify or reduce the lifespan of cultivators below the Dao-Slaying level using the rules of heaven and earth.

Because the cultivation environment in the Boundless Immortal Realm is so excellent, even if the lifespan of cultivators is reduced by the rules of heaven and earth, there are many ways to prolong their lives.

Therefore, he planned to establish the Three Calamities Rule to deal with cultivators from the first to the third level of the Sendai Heaven, and to threaten cultivators above the Saint level.

After reaching the first level of the Immortal Platform realm, one must undergo the Three Calamities every five thousand years. After reaching the second level of the Immortal Platform realm, one must undergo the Three Calamities every seven thousand years.

After reaching the third level of the Sendai realm, one must undergo the Three Calamities every ten thousand years.

The three disasters are fire, wind, and lightning!
The fire that descended was not an ordinary flame, but a special flame that Li Daoming named Yin Fire. When crossing the fire, this flame ignited out of thin air, nourished by blood and qi, and could burn flesh, tendons and bones, destroy internal organs, and rot all limbs and bones, turning everything into nothingness.

However, if one can withstand the tempering of the fire, the impurities in the body will be washed away, the aptitude and potential will greatly increase, and heaven and earth will send down sweet dew to help the body recover and advance further.

The wind disaster did not bring ordinary natural winds, but a special kind of wind disaster called "Bifeng". Bifeng can blow in through the fontanelle of a cultivator, pass through the dantian, and strike the immortal platform. It can blow away the cultivator's spiritual power and soul. If one cannot withstand it, both spirit and soul will perish, and the body and the Dao will be destroyed.

However, if one can withstand the wind disaster, the impurities of the primordial spirit and soul will be blown out, the spirit and soul will be strengthened, and comprehension will also be improved. Heaven and earth will also send down immortal light to help the spirit and soul recover and advance further.

The lightning calamity is similar to the tribulation that cultivators undergo when breaking through their cultivation level, but its power is much stronger, filled with the power to destroy everything. Ordinary people simply cannot overcome it and will be struck down to their death.

However, thunder is the pivot of Yin and Yang transformation, the origin of all things, and the mechanism of life and death in the universe. It is filled with destructive power, but also contains the vitality of creation.

If one can withstand the destruction of the lightning disaster, one can enjoy the blessings of lightning, be reborn, and be reborn.

It is no exaggeration to say that cultivators all over the world would face a near-death experience if they were to encounter any one of the three calamities.

Three calamities struck in quick succession; out of a hundred people, perhaps not one would survive.

Moreover, the three calamities descend once every so often, each time stronger than the last, and not just a little stronger, but several levels stronger.

If one cannot break through to a higher realm, no matter how defying the heavens, one cannot survive the third tribulation.

However, if one can survive the three calamities, even just once, there is a high probability that one can break through to the next major realm. If one can survive twice, one can break through to the next major realm without any unexpected events.

Because after a cultivator passes through the Three Calamities, they will receive tremendous benefits. Their physical body, primordial spirit, and soul will all be tempered and baptized, greatly increasing their aptitude, potential, and comprehension. Not to mention breaking through to the next major realm, they may even reach a higher realm.

This is also the opportunity and chance for survival that Li Daoming gives to cultivators who have survived the three calamities.

Even if one's original aptitude, potential, and comprehension are extremely low, after overcoming the three calamities, one can defy fate and hope to reach a higher realm.

As for cultivators below the Sendai Secret Realm, Li Daoming only set a lifespan limit of ten thousand years and did not continue to establish rules to intervene, because if they could not break through the Sendai Secret Realm, even in the Immortal Realm, their lifespan would not be too long.

Even if you manage to collect all sorts of life-extending items, there's still the lifespan limit set by Li Daoming; you'll die when it expires!

As for cultivators above the Saint level, since they could preside over the grand formation to accelerate the transformation of chaotic energy and contribute to the Boundless Immortal Realm, Li Daoming did not want them to die and agreed to grant them immortality.

However, to prevent these saints from becoming complacent and idle, Li Daoming also imposed three calamities on them, which would befall them every ten thousand years, as a way to spur them on.

However, the difference is that powerful beings above the level of saints can communicate with heaven and earth to sense their own Three Calamities and Tribulations, and use special things to eliminate the Three Calamities and Tribulations.
