My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 148 No one can destroy this world

A sudden enlightenment is something that any person who cultivates themselves is likely to experience once in their lifetime.

The only difference is whether it's morning or evening.

No matter how poor one's talent or how foolish one may be, there is always this sliver of opportunity. This is an opportunity given to all living beings in this world since the beginning of time.

As for those with good talent, they can naturally come more times.

And now, Bai Chijing has finally ushered in his first true enlightenment. Without relying on anything external, relying entirely on himself, he has obtained this opportunity for enlightenment.

In this world, most people's first epiphany is one that can bring about a complete transformation!
It can even turn mediocre talents into geniuses!
However, most people may never experience their first moment of enlightenment in their lives, even until they pass away peacefully.

Bai Chijing, whose talent was just like most people's, also experienced a sudden enlightenment at this moment. He was no different from most people. Under the transformation, the last trace of mortal aura on his body disappeared!
Thus, with that sliver of conceptual power of "existence even when it doesn't exist," he directly grasped the "non-existence" that only existed in the conceptual sense!
Bai Chijing's figure became increasingly subtle. His physical body, though existing between heaven and earth, seemed to have been transformed into the Dao, constantly dimming, and even his surrounding outline began to blur.

It was as if they had been erased.

Bai Chijing's immortal soul was the same; it broke free from the mysterious connection with the Underworld and severed the pull from the Dead World. His immortal aura rose all the way up, eventually reaching an indescribable realm.

If "Sui Jin" of the Shu Mountain Realm could sense this aura at this moment, he would surely understand why his ranking on the list of the most vicious and evil suddenly plummeted.

Moreover, the downward trend continues unabated, and there is a strong indication that it will fall off the list altogether.

Because the uniqueness that originally belonged only to Him has completely disappeared, and His incredible immortal power is no longer His exclusive possession; it can even be cultivated through acquired methods.

Having lost its uniqueness and its uncultivability, "Year Ashes" is no longer an existence that even near-immortals cannot overcome.

The Immortals Who Approach the Dao: This is a realm beyond the mortal world, a realm of their own, also known as the Golden Immortals of the Shu Mountain Realm.

However, the idea of ​​the Golden Immortal is not actually a widely accepted one.

Regarding this realm, the most widely accepted term is "the near-immortal." This is because previous concepts like Hao You Chengde and Miluo Zhizhen served as a prelude to this concept of "near-the-immortal."

As for the Mysterious Spirit Immortal of the Shu Mountain Realm that corresponds to the Outer Heaven Realm, that was purely made up by Shu Mountain.

The phrase "浩有承德" (Haoyou Chengde) implies both "climbing high and looking far" and "承德" (Chengde) implies "feelings changing with circumstances."

As for Mi Luo Zhi Zhen, Mi Luo naturally corresponds to the desire to transcend the mortal world, while Zhi Zhen is the fourth level where one is in a realm beyond the human world.

After completing these four stages, one will be close to becoming an immortal.

However, while "Near-the-Dao Immortal" is a realm, it doesn't mean that all Near-the-Dao Immortals are roughly equal in strength. This is because, upon entering this realm, Near-the-Dao Immortals might find themselves limited by their own understanding and the path they cultivate. In such cases, their strength would undoubtedly be at the bottom of this realm.

If one can break through this limitation, then among those near-immortals, they can be at a lower-middle level, or even a middle level.

If one can transcend all limitations in one fell swoop, then one will undoubtedly reach the upper-middle level of the path to immortality.

As for what happens after transcending something even higher...

This is something no one can explain.

Perhaps, replacing the way of Heaven with the way of humanity would be one answer.

At this moment, Bai Chijing, relying on his own enlightenment for the first time, touched upon a non-existent conceptual power, thus opening up a completely new direction for cultivation without his own awareness.

Time leaves its mark!

Based on itself, it controls the entire world, forming a unique closed-loop timeline. While it is still moving forward, the timeline is in a false closed loop state, constantly spreading forward. However, if it dies unexpectedly, it will transform from a false closed loop to a true closed loop state, thus directly returning to the beginning of its cultivation.

At this point, the true closed loop of the timeline will transform into a false closed loop. This means that everything one has experienced is subject to change!
Because this cultivation path was created by Bai Chijing solely for the third cultivation realm of his "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture," namely "Emptiness and No Calamity," it does not require detailed cultivation stages.

After all, this was created by Shiroike Kei, so it was already perfect from the very beginning.

This is the biggest benefit the Trail Blazers can enjoy.

It is also a blessing and reward from heaven and earth for those who dare to innovate.

Bai Chijing's "Empty Form Without Calamity" originally relied mostly on the Eclipse Flower for its power. Therefore, although its power was very strong, it also had an upper limit and was easily interfered with when encountering a near-Dao Immortal.

After all, even if a near-immortal is not proficient in the Way of Time, they must possess some treasures related to this.

Now, Bai Chijing no longer has such concerns.

Once he restarts the timeline in this mortal realm, even a near-immortal cannot interfere in the slightest! The only one who might be able to interfere is the Heavenly Dao in the heavens.

With the opening of the cultivation path "Remaining Flaws of Time", Bai Chijing's figure and immortal soul completely vanished without a trace.

This no longer exists.

However, as it ceased to exist, Bai Chijing also began to exist.

A unique world, exactly like the one in the mortal realm of Yaotian, was silently constructed the instant Bai Chijing's physical body and immortal soul vanished without a trace.

It seems to be the inner world of the Yao dynasty.

There are only black and white colors here.

The mountains are black and white, the water is black and white, and even the sky is black and white. And amidst these countless black and white reflections, the figure of Shirachi Sakura slowly emerges.

He does not exist in the world of Yao.

Yet it also exists in the world of Yao and the human realm.

However, the former is the Yao Tian Human Realm under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao of the Yao Tian Realm, and is part of the world formed at the beginning of creation. The latter, on the other hand, was born because of Bai Chi Jing, and was able to take shape and manifest as a special world because of Bai Chi Jing.

It does not exist in the world, nor in people's hearts.

The existence of this world is merely a concept—it exists even if it doesn't exist.

The Bai Chijing who appeared at this moment was the only person with color in this world. But soon, all his color faded, leaving only black and white.

They have been assimilated by this world.

It was also because Bai Chijing's cultivation level was not yet sufficient to support this world at that time.

"From now on, I shall return to the mortal realm and diligently cultivate myself..."

Bai Chijing spoke calmly and peacefully, as if he were saying "Study hard and make progress every day," very normally and plainly. Perhaps, this was just like his uneventful path of cultivation.

Then, Shirachi Kei began his training.

Cultivating in this special world, Bai Chijing couldn't rely on the eye-like object, so his cultivation was very slow. Even with his transformed aptitude after his enlightenment, it couldn't provide much assistance in his cultivation. However, Bai Chijing wasn't too concerned about this.

After all, he didn't have anything important to do. Although there seemed to be a troublesome thing called "Corpse," Bai Chijing didn't have the intention to actively seek it out since "Corpse" wasn't looking for him.

Because he now needs to focus on spiritual practice.

Bai Chijing began his uneventful cultivation journey. The main theme was tedium and boredom, but he didn't care. It was just like when he first transmigrated, or like all the other cultivators in the world.

They worked hard to improve even the slightest bit of their cultivation.

Fortunately, Bai Chijing's hard work couldn't have been in vain, after all, he had undergone a complete transformation. His swordsmanship talent, which had been revealed in his early years due to the Heavenly Slash, had been nurtured back to its former glory.

His swordsmanship talent is comparable to that of the Six Outstanding Disciples of Tujian Mountain when they were in the Outer Realm.

Thus, he is worthy of being called a sword prodigy within the sect!

As for outside the mountain gate, we'll have to wait a bit longer, because there's still not enough.

After three years of cultivation, Bai Chijing finally brought a faint color to this special world. It was his blood, which was no longer black and white, but contained a very faint trace of crimson.

Bai Chijing is a true immortal, and the blood in his body is naturally immortal blood. For a wisp of blood to undergo such a huge change, this progress is truly remarkable.

Therefore, at this very moment, Bai Chijing's shackles of Chengde were broken without him even realizing it.

With one step, he entered the realm of ultimate truth!
This is the Celestial Realm of Shushan!

It is also within that world where the Celestial Master's true form exists, at the third-tier Immortal realm. Although this statement seems very ordinary and doesn't sound as prestigious as a Celestial Immortal, in that world, true immortals who can reach the third-tier Immortal realm are not "as common as dogs."

Because the number of celestial beings is limited!

There are forty-nine celestial beings in the Shu Mountain realm, which, in fact, is a terrifying number.

The fact that the Shu Mountain Realm could nurture five near-Dao Immortals shows that its foundation is extremely strong.

In this world where the Celestial Master's true form exists and the true Heavenly Dao resides, there are only 365 Celestial Immortals in total. Among them, only 35 have cultivated to the stage of transcending the mortal realm and entering a different world.

The rest are all at the third level—the desire to transcend the mundane world.

This is because the true Heavenly Dao has arrived, which has given this world a great deal of resources, allowing it to transcend in one fell swoop, thus giving rise to the current number of 365 Mi Luo Supreme Immortals!

Otherwise, although it was originally stronger than the Shu Mountain Realm, the difference was extremely limited.

If even this area, which can now be called the "Ascension Gate," is like this, then let alone the human world, which is merely a part of the Yao Heaven Realm.

In the realm of Yao, only one immortal who has reached the stage of ultimate truth is permitted to appear!
Once a second true immortal who has reached this level is born, whether it is a desire to transcend the mortal realm or a vision of a world apart from the human realm, the entire Yao Tian mortal realm will collapse.

Not only will all living beings in the realm perish, but even Bai Chijing's "existing yet nonexistent" world will be affected to some extent.

After all, he referenced Yao Tian Ren Jian.

Before the entire "existence even in non-existence" world turned colorful, the human realm of Yao was of paramount importance to Baichijing. And even after the entire "existence even in non-existence" world ceased to be black and white, this human realm remained crucial, because it was the starting point of Baichijing's pseudo-closed timeline!

If this human world were destroyed, although it wouldn't be considered a serious crime, it would still have a huge impact on Bai Chijing.

However, spiritual practice cannot be rushed.

Especially after three years of arduous self-cultivation, it took Bai Chijing three years to advance his originally perfect realm by just a tiny bit. For him, the effort far outweighed the reward.

This doesn't give me the same sense of accomplishment as pursuing the person I love.

Thus, Bai Chijing stepped out of his own world of "existence even when not existing" and once again set foot in the human realm of Yao, where many colorful creatures existed.

Three years have passed, and this place has changed dramatically once again.

However, Bai Chijing no longer showed any surprise, because these changes were currently insignificant to him.

In any case, as long as no one can reach the True Realm of Mi Luo, it will never have any impact on him.

Bai Chijing's gaze swept across the mortal realm. The power of the Immortal Path Foundation once again took effect, transforming all the changes in the entire Yao Tian mortal realm into detailed information, which was then reflected in Bai Chijing's eyes.

True immortals are indeed extraordinary.

"Is that the chosen one of this mythical era?"

Bai Chijing's gaze suddenly paused slightly, because he saw someone whose cultivation speed was even faster than his. Even Zhou Shuyue, who had his help, was inferior in cultivation speed.

Three years have passed, and Zhou Shuyue has only progressed from the initial stage of the Outer World Realm to the middle stage.

This cultivation speed is much slower than before.

But at this moment, Zhou Shuyue not only opened up her own grotto-heaven, but also perfected it, making it eternal and unbreakable. In addition, she also survived the five internal tribulations, and her own cultivation was also perfected.

The person Bai Chijing was currently focusing on was a young man, only fifteen years old, who had only begun cultivating three years prior. Yet, his cultivation level was already comparable to Zhou Shuyue's.

Unlike Zhou Shuyue's "portable old lady," this young man possesses a powerful devouring ability that can absorb all external objects and transform them into the power he needs.

However, activating this devouring power is extremely taxing on one's cultivation level.

Therefore, even though the young man knew that he could attain immortality in an instant if he released all the devouring power within him, he dared not do so.

Because before he can attain immortality, he will surely die from this devouring power.

Suddenly, under Bai Chijing's gaze, the young man raised an eyebrow and then looked in a certain direction with an unfriendly expression.

Before long, Zhou Shuyue's figure appeared in the direction the young man was gazing.

"Why are you so persistent?" The young man's face showed a hint of helplessness, but at the same time, there was also a hint of greed in his eyes.

He was able to reach the middle realm of the outer world entirely because he devoured a portion of Zhou Shuyue's cultivation.
