Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 213 Transcending the Five Lords, Breaking Through Realms and Domains
Having cultivated for so long, Jingqian has truly reached a profound level!
As the core Daoist of a top-tier lineage, when he stood at the threshold of the Upper Three Ranks realm and deduced his own path forward, his gaze naturally pierced through the clouds and landed on that transcendent position above the First Rank, overlooking all the heavens!

In particular, after he obtained the power of [Time Sequence], the path to the highest rank became almost as easy as a flat road for him.

Once he secures his final place in the [Battle of Time] that sweeps across all realms, his true transcendent form will be forged.

The so-called "transcendent" position corresponds to the pinnacle of all heavens and myriad realms, the true Dao Ancestor level of great power.

Just like the Pure Yang and Yanfu, they are all of this rank.

After thoroughly studying the supreme secret manual in his hands, Jing Qian finally clearly outlined the magnificent picture of that "transcendent" realm:
In the realm of transcendence, there are countless paths to enlightenment, but their ultimate status can be categorized into five main paths: "Tao, Immortal, God, Demon, and Buddha," each possessing its own supreme mystery.

Each path is further subdivided according to the nature of cultivation.

Among them, the [Dao Master] path allows one to take control of the origin of the Great Dao and evolve the true nature of the Great Dao.

Its subcategories include the Lord of Origin, the Lord of Creation, the Lord of Calamity, the Lord of the End, and the Lord of Dimensions.

The path to becoming an Immortal Master is one of carefree freedom, transcendence, and unique innovation.

Its subcategories include the Lord of Taiyi, the Lord of Xingchen, the Lord of Xiaoyao, the Lord of Qingjing, the Lord of Lingbao, and the Lord of Sanqing, among others.

【Divine Lord】pathway, referring to the source of the pantheon, the ancestor of all gods.

This path is the position attained by the supreme ancestral gods of many top pantheons, including the [Ancestral God of Fortune], the [Ancestral God of Faith], and even the [Innate Ancestral God].

The [Demon Lord] path allows one to control life and death, rule over all demons, overturn order, and recreate reincarnation.

Its subcategories include the Lord of Hell, the Supreme Heavenly Demon Lord, the Great Asura Lord, and the Lord of the Heart Demon, among others.

The path to enlightenment is to awaken to the true nature of reality and to save all sentient beings; this is the highest attainment in Buddhism.

Its subcategories include Tathagata Lord, Maitreya Lord, Vajra Lord, etc.

If we trace the origins of all the heavens and myriad realms and numerous lineages, we will inevitably go back to these [Five Lords of Transcendence].

The path of Sumeru established by Jing Qian will undoubtedly lead to an ultimate achievement above the Dimensional Lord among the Dao Lords.

For the vast majority of cultivators, transcending the Five Lords is the untouchable ultimate Dao, an unattainable dream.

Therefore, which path one chooses to take may not be important at all.

After all, even if one exhausts one's cultivation for a lifetime, one may not be able to touch the edge of transcendence, so studying the realm of transcendence is meaningless.

However, for Jing Qian, determining his own path was the foundation that guided him to perfect his cultivation of "Mending the Heavens".

After all, with the Coffin of Heaven and Man in his possession, he could easily reshape his foundation and rebuild his path.

Only a clear direction can provide him with true guidance, enabling him to build a perfectly compatible foundation for the Great Dao.

If one can truly transcend the limitations of swordsmanship by ruling over the [Dimensional Lord].

Then Jing Qian would have to rely solely on his own methods to create a [Xumi] lineage that is in no way inferior to [Chunyang], [Qinglian], and [Xuanyuan].

At that time, his cultivation and status will undoubtedly be on par with Dao Ancestors such as Chunyang and Xuanyuan.

To become a truly supreme being who traverses all the heavens and myriad realms.

But this is not a simple process!

Following the path of enlightenment of one's predecessors and successfully completing the journey is already an extremely difficult task, let alone relying entirely on one's own cultivation and contemplation to forge a completely new path.

In Jingqian's knowledge, no one had ever proven themselves to be a "Dimensional Lord" through swordsmanship.

For him, this was the ultimate challenge on his path of cultivation!
That's precisely what makes it interesting and worth pursuing!

Jing Qian spent another whole year thoroughly studying the "Chaos Sword Scripture" and the "Nine Revolutions Spirit Sword Body Refining Dao Book".

How to create a sword formation and how to refine the sword body are also directly relevant to his mind and spirit.

At this point, he had thoroughly comprehended the five sword cultivation traditions.

In his heart, he also had a very accurate understanding of these five major lineages.

The power of the 【Pure Yang】 sword box excels at condensing sword energy and magical power, and widely embracing all kinds of divine wonders. It is described as "like an abyss", emphasizing the abyss-like depths and the ability to embrace all things.

The power of the Azure Lotus sword light is adept at controlling different kinds of Daoist charms, purifying the quality of the sword light, and obtaining a "refined essence". It emphasizes the return of all streams to their source and the full display of its sharpness.

The power of the Xuanyuan Sword Pellet lies in its extreme refinement, ultimate offensive capabilities, and unstoppable advance. It is characterized by its "sharpness," emphasizing speed like thunder and invincibility.

The power of the [Tongtian] sword formation lies in its mastery over all things in the universe, connecting heaven and earth, controlling the overall situation, and achieving a state of "command". It emphasizes the unity of the universe and the indistinguishability of chaos.

【Longevity】The position of the sword body is characterized by continuous life, the evolution of flesh and blood, and the transformation of the sword path. It is to obtain the "immortality" and emphasizes the unity of man and sword, which is difficult to be worn down by countless calamities.

Each lineage, when cultivated to its highest level, produces an unparalleled, peerless swordsman who dominates the world.

Moreover, each lineage has its own strengths and weaknesses, with significant differences between them.

What Jing Qian was trying to do was to extract all the elements from these five lineages that could be compatible with [Xume] and then perfectly incorporate them into himself.

For him, this is a process of learning from each other's strengths and making up for his own weaknesses.

In this process, he will refine many [Destinies] and reforge new [Spiritual Energy].

This will inevitably take a long time and consume countless resources.

But if it can truly be completed, then everything will be worthwhile!
Jing Qian spent another whole year honing his skills in the [Virtual Realm]. This time, he had a clear plan in mind for perfecting his [Mending Heaven] cultivation and governing the five major sword lineages.

After three years of seclusion and reflection, his gains were immeasurable.

After all this time, he's only been doing theoretical analysis, and there's been absolutely no real progress in his cultivation.

Therefore, after he broke through the barrier, he did not linger at all and prepared to go all out to complete the first step of his cultivation of "Mending the Heavens".

He emerged from the [Void Realm] and fled into the depths of the [Sumeru] dimension.

Before long, they arrived at the place where [Good Corn] and the others were fishing in the void.

Meanwhile, [Real Corn], [Good Corn], [Sacrifice to the Gods], [Underworld God], and [Honoring the Gods] seem to have been waiting for a long time.

Upon Jing Qian's arrival, he immediately asked:
"I'm ready, where should we go first?"

But the one who officiated at the ceremony spoke first:
"Master, according to the conditions you outlined, we have selected three [Mountain Boundaries]."

"If you want a larger territory, you can go to the [Weiwei Mountain Boundary]. The area here is vast, more than three times larger than a typical [Mountain Boundary]."

"If you want to choose a place with a larger population, you can go to the [Formless True Buddha Realm]. This is the Buddhist realm, and believers are as numerous as sand."

"If you choose one with more abundant spiritual energy, you can go to the [Fire Spirit Realm]. This place is a fiery realm, filled with fire-attribute spiritual energy, where only fire spirits can reside."

But Jing Qian replied:
"No need to choose, I want all these realms. Let's go one by one."

"This time I need to extract the essence of this realm to refine treasures, so please help me drag this realm into the [Sumeru] dimension."

"The beings of this realm are also useful to me, as they can enhance the foundation of my [Sumeru] dimension. I should go easy on them!"

"lets go!"

With Jing Qian's command, [Chong Shen] immediately activated the [Xumi] dimension and probed into the depths of the void.

Within the first [Weiwei Mountain Boundary], there was a [Dimensional Ring] that had been laid in advance as a spatial beacon.

A void rift leading straight into it was thus opened.

[True Corn] took the lead and charged straight in, thus initiating the [Sumeru] faction's path of conquest over other realms.

For it, although it was working for its son for free, such a lively event was far more interesting than squatting in a monastery, and it was not to be missed.

Following closely behind, [Good Corn], [Sacrifice God], and [Underworld God] also ventured deep into [Weiwei Mountain Boundary], leaving only [Chongshen] to guard the void rift.

However, he did not conceal the traces of the rift at all. On the contrary, he began to expand the void rift with all his might, causing it to gradually squeeze the space of the [Weiwei Mountain Realm] and spread rapidly to the surroundings.

A powerful suction force arose from the void rift, suddenly swallowing up the matter and energy from the other realm.

After careful observation, Jing Qian found that his several avatars were quite reliable and did not need his attention. He then transformed into light and disappeared into the [Weiwei Mountain Realm].

His arrogant behavior, however, was a cataclysmic calamity descending upon the cultivation forces within the Weiwei Mountain Realm!
The powerful figures guarding the border immediately mobilized all their forces and began their self-rescue.

Only by defeating the invading enemy and sealing the spatial rift can [Weiwei Mountain Boundary] be saved!
As soon as Jing Qian emerged from the void rift, he saw four powerful beings of the second rank leap out, gathering immense magical power to attack.

He shook his head slightly. The Taoist, martial artist, Buddhist, and demon in front of him were all of a complete lineage, and had initially built a decent cultivation civilization.

Unfortunately, this second-rank cultivator, who wasn't even worthy of being called Zhong Shenxiu, couldn't even have two words engraved on his Fate Stele, and therefore posed no threat to Jing Qian at this moment.

The first-grade [Sumeru] Immortal Sword in his hand transformed into light and slashed, unleashing four fierce sword beams in succession.

He ruthlessly killed all four second-rank experts who charged at him.

He immediately crushed all of the enemy's resistance!

With the second-grade cultivators gone, the remaining lowly cultivators with even lower cultivation levels will be dealt with by the few who entered the realm with them.

He sat calmly before the portal to the void rift and began meditative practice.

He first focused his mind on the space of the Life Stele and walked to the place where the imagery of the Great Dao was manifested.

The Daoist aura of the four second-grade cultivators he had just killed was manifesting here, waiting for him to completely dismantle them.

In one corner of this imagery, an incarnation of the [Insect Mother] with an extremely powerful aura glared at him coldly, without uttering a word.

Jing Qian is currently no match for a first-rank official, so he can only let the [Insect Mother] rest for a few days and refrain from causing her any trouble.

He came in a hurry, partly to completely eliminate the threat and partly to extract the coordinates of the four enemies' [Life Stele] and refine them to death.

It was also to obtain a unique material for forging swords.

In "The Sword-Forger Achieves the Great Dao", the remains of the [Life Stele] of fallen cultivators are an important raw material for forging [Sword Pills].

If Jing Qian wants to successfully create the [Sword Pill], he will need a considerable amount of it.

His first step in embarking on a new cultivation journey began with taking the life tablets of these four good family members!
In just ten days, the Weiwei Mountain Boundary outside was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and the future was bleak.

Jing Qian also successfully digested the cultivation roots of the four great cultivators.

The results were quite good; he successfully comprehended the forty-seventh level of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] and is using it to enhance the essence of his [Nine Desolate Immortal Qi].

Meanwhile, on the [Mountain of Immortal Qi], [Good Corn] has already set off ahead with the coordinates!
