New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 303 Creation of Heaven and Earth, World Tree, Satellite Divine Kingdom
Yuan Zhu's eyes darted around, and he asked again, "You said that the [Taihuang Path] takes the essence of the [Huangtian] lineage and perfectly integrates it into the [Holy Light]. How exactly is this manifested? We Holy Light cultivators don't have [innate talent], so do we still need to cultivate like the 'Huangtian Daoist'?"

The old man shook his head: "The Holy Temple is not the Yellow Heaven. We don't use the 'burning Dao bones' method. We can directly use Soul Crystals and Holy Seals instead. Within the Taihuang Path, there exists a system called the Holy Light Version of the Immortal Rank System, which was modified by the Taihuang Path Master based on the Holy Light Network and the Old Yellow Heaven World."

"If you receive the Taihuang Register (6-mark Saint Seal) during the first three Saint Seals, you will be marked into this system and become a 'Registered Cultivator'. If you wait until you have passed the first three seals before realizing your mistake and delaying the Register, then even if you become a member of the Taihuang Path, your background and status will always be inferior to other cultivators who received the registers during the first three seals; you will be a second-class person."

At this point, the old man was implying that Yuan Zhu should be ordained as soon as possible and join the [Holy Hall. Taihuangdao]. Joining early meant early blessings and endless wealth and prosperity.

If he were young and impetuous, and in a moment of folly missed the opportunity for the first three seals, only to be ordained on the fourth seal, then in the eyes of the Taihuang Dao, he would not be a true 'core member' with impeccable lineage,' but rather a 'collateral cannon fodder' who joined the sect halfway through.

Even if you join the 'Immortal Rank System' within the [Sanctuary], the benefits and perks you enjoy will be greatly reduced.

In fact, let alone the fourth seal, even the second seal's conferment of a title still places the cultivator at a lower rank than the first seal's conferment.

The earlier one is ordained, the sooner one is watched by the [Master of the Taihuang Dao], the deeper the control, and naturally the more reliable and loyal one becomes!

Cultivators like Yuan Zhu, who have already received two miscellaneous [Holy Seals], have demonstrated considerable potential and haven't been 'marked' by other Holy Kings or Archangels. In the old man's eyes, this is a 'performance' worth saving. Bringing Yuan Zhu into the [Taihuang Path] for formal ordination would also boost his own 'good deeds'.

Yuan Zhu understood the old man's implication and adopted an attitude of "I am very interested in our [Taihuang Dao]", asking in confusion, "Our [Taihuang Dao] does not temper one's bones or erect statues of gods. Can one be ranked among the immortals with only the [Taihuang Register] and [Soul Crystal]? The difference between the two is too great, I don't understand!"

The old man said, “It’s actually quite easy to understand. The [Taihuang Dao Master] has already transplanted the complete ‘Immortal Rank System’ into the [Holy Light Network Dao]. All positions are ready-made and have already been created. As the [Holy Hall] continues to grow, new ‘divine positions’ will continue to be created automatically. As long as you are deeply bound to the [Taihuang Dao] and have enough [Soul Crystals], you will naturally be able to bear the corresponding ‘rank’ and be incorporated into the [Holy Court].

"Nine Soul Crystals will ensure your true spirit remains intact. After death, you will ascend to the Holy Court, become a celestial soldier, and undergo at least nine resurrections. Once you cultivate to thirty-six Soul Crystals, you will achieve a perfect reincarnation, with a guaranteed position as an angel (immortal), officially joining the ranks of the Holy Court's immortals. As for the land deed you possess, after the three seals are obtained, you can also apply for the blessing of the Taihuangdao and experience the optimized Huangtian Law, which allows you to build a church (temple) and try to worship a 'deity' that represents you."

"what?!"

Yuan Zhu was startled upon hearing this, then looked at the old man: "Then isn't this small chapel in the Rain Courtyard your shrine?"

The old man shook his head: "No, no, no, the church in [Rain Courtyard] is just an ordinary building. [Rain Courtyard] doesn't allow outsiders to hold [land deeds] on its own land, wouldn't that make it a country within a country?"

"Right."

Yuan Zhu agreed with this statement, then started counting on his fingers: "Let me do the math. [Three Seals] 9 Soul Crystals are enough to become a 'Heavenly Soldier' ​​and be resurrected nine times. [Six Seals] 36 Soul Crystals are enough to become an 'Angel (Ascension to Immortality)' in the [Taihuang Path]? Shouldn't an 'Angel' start at [Nine Seals]? How come it skipped three ranks!"

The old man said confidently, "What do you think 'orthodox lineage' means? What is a foundation? What is a background and a backer? As a rogue cultivator, you naturally have to strive to reach the 9th seal. But if you join my 'Taihuang Path,' the 'Angel King' will clear the way for you and carry the burden for you."

The "Eight Holy Kings" can be rephrased as the "Source of Holy Light," comprising ten measures. Each of the eight angel kings occupies one measure, while the remaining two measures are divided among all the archangels.

With the endorsement of the [Taihuang Daozhu], His henchmen, once they reach the [Six Seals] stage and receive further blessing from the [Holy Court. Immortal Class System], can transcend their level and stand on equal footing with wild [Nine Seals].

Yuan Zhu: "Awesome! Um... since the [Taihuangdao] is so superior, could you give me a copy of the outdated 'Huangtianfa' for me to critique?"

The old man snorted unhappily: "You are indeed bewitched and stubborn. You have no Dao bone, no Dao lineage, and no Yellow Heaven Furnace. What do you want the Yellow Heaven Method for? Even if you obtain it, you will not be able to cultivate it."

Seeing that the old man resolutely refused to hand over the specific details of the [Yellow Heaven Method], Yuan Zhu changed tactics and continued to press, "Alright, I don't need the specific details of the Yellow Heaven Method. Then tell me how the [Yellow Heaven Method] utilizes the [Land Deed]? I'm more interested in that. And how does our [Taihuang Dao] utilize the [Land Deed]?"

The old man said, “You have a misconception that you must integrate the ‘land deed’ into your cultivation system, otherwise you will be at a disadvantage. The ‘Holy Hall’ does not pursue ‘land deed’, and even within the ‘Taihuang Path’, there is no attachment to ‘land deed’. However, the foundation of the ‘Yellow Heaven Method’ is built on ‘land deed’ and ‘land’.”

"The true goal of the Yellow Heaven Method or the Yellow Heaven System always revolves around the creation of heaven and earth. To put it simply, it is the creation of the world. After the Yellow Heaven Taoist cultivates to the position of God (Earth God), the next step is to make the land under his influence and control collapse and shrink into an independent 'small cave world'."

"At this point, the temple and the enshrined statues will be swallowed and absorbed by the newly formed 'small grotto-heaven,' becoming the 'law hub' of the grotto-heaven world, the 'supreme god' of this place. Completing this step makes one a 'Yellow Heaven Blessed Earth Immortal.' From then on, every step of cultivation and every step of growth for the Yellow Heaven Daoist will be to perfect, expand, and strengthen this 'grotto-heaven world,' allowing it to gradually expand, grow, and become perfect."

"From the [Cave Heaven World], it slowly expands and grows, eventually becoming an independent [Small World], [Middle Thousand World], and even a Great Thousand World like the 'Spirit Tablet.' At that time, the 'Yellow Heaven Ruler' can be called the 'Yellow Heaven Dao Master'!"

The term "Huangtiandao" translates to "creating one large and one small Huangtian world after another," and the Huangtiandao people are the "Huangtian will" of their respective worlds.

In terms of concept alone, [Huang Tiandao] has already surpassed all other [pollution systems] he has encountered.

Yuan Zhu: "Is this really possible?"

"Of course! The [Taihuang Dao Master] is a genuine [Huangtian Dao Master]. The [Huangtian Law] clearly draws inspiration from the ancient myth of 'Pangu Creating the World.' Every [Fude Dixian] in the [Huangtian] system is simulating and recreating the process of 'Pangu Creating the World.' However, the [Huangtian lineage] doesn't aim for instant success by directly creating the primordial world. Instead, it gradually expands and strengthens the [Cave Heaven World], eventually transforming it into a complete and independent [Huangtian Great World] with its own laws." "When such a [Huangtian World] is born, its own [Divine Statue] naturally grows into a [Creator God]. As the [Huangtian Spacetime] continues to grow stronger, with the [Divine Statue (Creator God)] at its core, a complete [Heavenly Court] can be extended within its own 'world' to bestow upon disciples and followers. This is the origin of the [Holy Court Immortal Ranks]!"

"Therefore, not only has a [Heavenly Court System] been established among the numerous Yellow Heaven cultivators of all sizes, but each individual [Yellow Heaven Powerhouse] also has their own independent team within their 'private world.' The so-called [Daoist lineage] is a direct connection to the independent [Yellow Heaven Powerhouse], allowing them to mobilize troops and summon deities from their private worlds; or to draw upon divine power to cast spells and invoke gods..."

Now, Yuan Zhu understood completely.

[Taihuang Daozhu] is guaranteed to be a [Great Thousand Lord]. After witnessing the collapse of the even larger [Huangtian Immortal Court], he can switch to the [Holy Hall] and still create the [Holy Light Version. Internal Small Heavenly Court System].

So what was the scale of the [Huangtian Immortal Court], which [Master Taihuang] also joined back then? Was it a [world cluster] composed of countless large and small 'grotto-heavens, minor thousand worlds, middle thousand worlds, and great thousand worlds'?
How could such a tiny place as 【Duling Star】give up such a massive 'world community'? I can't understand it. It sounds like an Indian myth. Pure nonsense, just bragging.

...

Zhu Zi listened with fascination and confusion, and couldn't help but complain: "So, according to you, at its peak, wouldn't Huang Tian have been able to create countless Middle Thousand and Lesser Thousand Worlds? Wouldn't that have left no way for other 'transcendent sources (polluted systems)' to survive?"

The old man smiled knowingly: "So, how do you think [Huang Tian] died? Naturally, it was because his ambition was too great, offending everyone. Before the [Great Thousand Worlds System] was even built, he became the target of everyone's attacks. And what do you think those many dreamlike 'bubble worlds' in the [Nightmare Bubble Layer] were for, born and bursting like fleeting bubbles?"

Following the other person's words, Zhu Zi chimed in, "Oh?! Could it be related to [Huang Tian]?"

The old man said, “How can a ‘Cave Heaven’ grow into a ‘Small World, Middle Thousand World,’ or even… Great Thousand World’? Naturally, it needs enough raw materials and nutrients. But land, matter, and spacetime structure cannot be born out of thin air; they always have a source.”

Yuan Zhu quickly answered, "It's the [Nightmare Foam Layer]! Yellow Heaven cultivators can ride [Blessed Lands] to enter the [Foam Layer] to feed, devouring one 'Foam World' after another, and giving birth to even more powerful [Small Worlds]?!"

The old man nodded: "It seems that you have already grasped the true meaning of the [Yellow Heaven Method]."

Yuan Zhu: "Then where do the substances, raw materials, spacetime foam, and other nutrients in the [Nightmare Foam Layer] come from? Did they just appear out of thin air?!"

"How would I know?!"

Now that Yuan Zhu understood the true essence of the [Yellow Heaven Method], inspiration surged within him, and he couldn't help but ask again: "I've heard that besides [Yellow Heaven], there are also [Kunlun Earth Immortals] and [Industrial Divine Kingdom] who are skilled in utilizing [Land Deeds]. How do their development of [Land Deeds] differ from that of the [Yellow Heaven Method]?"

After changing the bait, the old man shook it dry again. As the fishing hook was cast far into the lake, he said, "This is easy to distinguish. The [Huangtian Dao] pursues 'creating a world and recreating Huangtian.' Each Daoist is, in theory, the [Huangtian Will] of a 'small world.' Once their path to transcendence is opened, they cannot help but pursue the expansion of their [world] and self-perfection."

"Therefore, the land deeds under the Yellow Heaven system will completely 'uproot' the entire piece of land, collapse it into an independent 'grotto-heaven,' and then break away from the world of the spirits. After briefly replenishing sufficient material foundation in the Spirit Realm and perfecting the 'grotto-heaven laws,' it will be rejected a second time (ascended) and escape into the 'foam layer,' parasitizing the 'foam world,' using the 'small grotto-heaven' to devour the '(foam) great world.'"

"The path of [Huangtian] is a path of no return. A 'Huangtian World' that grows and becomes more perfect is destined never to return to [Duling Star]. It will only drift further and further away, at most creating some connections between 'Duling' and 'another world (Huangtian World)'."

The old man paused for a moment, then said, "Furthermore, the Kunlun Earth Immortals also use land deeds to plant their natal spiritual roots (spiritual plants) on the land. Through the spread of their roots underground, they condense a similar position as the Earth God. They can also create a small world, just like the Fortune Earth Immortals."

"But the blessed land of the Kunlun Earth Immortals is more like the Spirit Realm Layer, merely attached to the other side (inside) of the Duling Planet. You went to high school, so you should have learned about the myths of the Western Kingdoms of the Gen Continent and know the structure of the World Tree, right? The Kunlun Earth Immortals use the Earth Deed as the hub and the spiritual roots as the support, attaching themselves to the Duling Planet and creating and supporting their own 'small world' in the Spirit Realm Layer."

"As the Kunlun spiritual root grows larger, these roots, which seem to be rooted in the real world, will penetrate the dimensional barrier and spread to the [spirit realm] and even the [foam layer], elevating the [world] it relies on to other dimensional levels, which can also be considered a kind of ascension."

Yuan Zhu: "It doesn't sound as grand as [Huang Tian]."

The old man agreed, “That’s right! The Yellow Heaven Path focuses on creating its own world, while the Kunlun Path utilizes the parasitic nature of ‘spiritual roots’ to absorb and exploit the host’s nutrients to nurture its own ‘small world.’ Since the demise of the Yellow Heaven, many ‘Kunlun Earth Immortals’ have simply chosen independent ‘Yellow Heaven Small Worlds’ to parasitize. As long as they eliminate the ‘Yellow Heaven Will (Creator God)’ within, they can usurp the nest, occupy a small world alone, and nurture their own ‘spiritual roots.’”

"Only the final [Industrial Godhood] is more like a satellite. The Industrial God builds factories on the land controlled by the [Land Deed], constantly accumulating 'extraordinary power' to develop the factory into a small [Divine Kingdom], and then launches it into the [Spirit Realm], [Foam Realm], or [Astral Realm]."

"This kind of 'divine kingdom' appears to be detached from the mortal realm of the spirits, but it hasn't disappeared from the 'land deed'; instead, it's split in two. The 'industrial divine kingdom' is excluded from the mortal realm due to its extremely high pollution levels, but it remains closely connected to the 'land' of the mortal world. You can think of it as flying a kite, or a hot air balloon tied to a string. The 'industrial divine kingdom' continuously supplies products to the 'region' where the land deed is located, taking away raw materials. And it conducts commercial operations in the mortal world..."

"In addition, this kind of [Industrial God Kingdom] will try its best to establish similar [Land Deed Flagship Stores] in other 'Foam Worlds and Spirit Realms' to expand sales channels."

Yuan Zhu nodded: "I understand! [Huang Tian] directly dug up the [Land Deed] and turned it into a 'Wandering Cave Heaven', growing by devouring everything along the way; [Kunlun] planted spiritual roots, and the roots expanded and penetrated the barrier of the present world to establish an 'Inner World'; after [Industrial Divine Kingdom] opened up its core divine kingdom, it seemed to be detached from reality, but in fact it used a 'spatial channel' to firmly lock the location of the [Land Deed] and tried to add more 'Land Deed coordinates'."

The old temple keeper: "Yes."
