Shrouding the Heavens: The Ultimate Daoist Venerable

Chapter 460 Each Person's Cultivation
Upon hearing this, the White Tiger Emperor's heart stirred. He had actually considered the methods of becoming an Earth Immortal.

His clansmen and descendants are all in the Kunlun Immortal Mountain. To ascend to immortality, one must abandon them all and venture into an unknown world to forge one's own path to immortality.

Although the White Tiger Emperor was devoted to the Dao, he was not a heartless person. There were still many people and things in this human universe that he could not bear to part with.

Moreover, the methods of becoming an Earth Immortal that he knew were quite difficult. Although it was not necessary to cultivate the Kunlun Immortal Scripture to the point where one could undergo a transformation, it was still necessary to cultivate it to an extremely high level and transform oneself to produce a high concentration of Kunlun Immortal Blood.

Clearly, his current state does not meet this condition. In other words, he cannot even achieve the status of a terrestrial immortal.

Moreover, even if he used up the last five thousand years of his life, it might not be enough to meet this condition.

Even if the White Tiger Emperor meets the conditions, it will be extremely difficult to become an Earth Immortal. If he is not careful, he will be assimilated by the Strange Land, lose his self, and become nourishment for the growth of the Strange Land.

Therefore, although the White Tiger Emperor was very interested in the methods of the Earth Immortals, he was unable to complete them due to his insufficient strength.

Therefore, the White Tiger Emperor should have immediately entered another world while he was still at his peak. After all, this was his last choice.

Since he couldn't reverse his life or become an Earth Immortal, the White Tiger Emperor only had one path to take: ascension, unless he wanted to die.

However, because of the people and things he didn't want to give up, the White Tiger Emperor hesitated to make the decision to ascend directly, and wandered aimlessly in the human universe for a period of time without making a choice.

The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill from the Xuanwu Emperor had actually brought him a sense of relief. After all, being able to live another life meant he wouldn't have to worry about this for the time being. He could leave this headache to his future self. He only needed to continue his cultivation.

But upon hearing the tortoise-shell deity say that the Black Tortoise Emperor had mastered a more complete method of Earth Immortal cultivation, the White Tiger Emperor's heart stirred. After all, this method of Earth Immortal cultivation was quite to his liking.

Of course, this was also because the White Tiger Emperor had learned early on from the information provided by the Power Emperor's avatar that ascension would not lead to the Immortal Realm, but rather to a strange world. That's why the White Tiger Emperor was more inclined towards the methods of the Earth Immortals.

If the other side is the Immortal Realm, then the White Tiger Emperor would definitely be willing to give up everything to ascend, but if it is just a larger world with a better environment, then the White Tiger Emperor would not be so interested.

So the White Tiger Emperor said, "A more perfect method for becoming an Earth Immortal? I'd really like to know about it. Please don't hesitate to teach me."

The tortoise shell deity then passed on to the White Tiger Emperor a more complete method of Earth Immortals, which the Black Tortoise Emperor had summarized and compiled based on the methods of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable and the Underworld Emperor.

After that, the tortoise shell took its leave.

Having sensed these things through his connection with the tortoise shell, the Xuanwu Emperor was immediately relieved and began further cultivation, working tirelessly to condense his true Earth Immortal body.

Of course, he would not fall behind in the lessons left by Lingbao Tianzun.

In the future, he intends to continuously develop Jade Flower Divine Island, transforming it into a true world, and the field technique clearly plays a significant role in this process. Therefore, even for the sake of his own cultivation, he dares not slacken.

Moreover, after becoming an Earth Immortal, Emperor Xuanwu received an unexpected surprise: the Xuanwu Elixir of Immortality.

Although Emperor Xuanwu was very close to the Xuanwu Elixir of Immortality, he found it difficult to comprehend its profound mysteries or touch the original laws of the legendary immortal Xuanwu.

In other words, although theoretically he should be able to transform himself and become infinitely close to the true Xuanwu by studying the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir, the difficulty is too high and it is really hard to achieve. But now, after the Xuanwu Emperor embarks on the path of Earth Immortal and merges with the Jade Flower Divine Island, he can perceive the mysteries of the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir more deeply.

In other words, the seemingly unattainable goal of transforming into the immortal spirit Xuanwu appears to have a chance of success.

Perhaps when the true form of the Earth Immortal is reunited in the future, the Xuanwu Emperor will not only be able to evolve himself and condense an even more superior Jade Flower Divine Body, but also use the secrets of the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir to blend the Immortal Spirit Xuanwu Body into this true form.

The reason for this is mainly because the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir has been rooted in Yuhua Divine Island for a long time, and its connection with Yuhua Divine Island has been continuously deepened during the process of Lingbao Tianzun transforming this place.

Although the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir does not directly combine with the wondrous land like the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree and the Ginseng Fruit Tree, it still has a special connection with Yuhua Divine Island, which, although not strong, always exists.

Now that the Xuanwu Emperor has transformed into the Jade Flower Divine Island itself, this connection has naturally changed into his connection with the Xuanwu Elixir of Immortality.

Through this connection, Emperor Xuanwu was able to see the possibility of uncovering its secrets.

The two matters concerning Earth Immortals and the field were already enough to plunge Emperor Xuanwu into arduous cultivation, leaving him with little energy to spare.

Now, with the added challenge of comprehending the secrets of the Xuanwu Elixir of Immortality, the Xuanwu Emperor is indeed extremely busy and has no time to pay attention to the outside world.

So he directly handed over the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill and the Earth Immortal Technique to the White Tiger Empress and then devoted himself to arduous cultivation, without caring about what the White Tiger Empress would choose.

At this moment, the White Tiger Emperor was already engrossed in comprehending and deducing the methods of the Earth Immortals.

Although the White Tiger Emperor did not truly cultivate the methods of the Earth Immortals, he had studied the original methods taught to him by the Power Emperor. Therefore, he could easily master this improved version of the Earth Immortal methods.

Of course, the White Tiger Emperor only grasped the theory; truly mastering it would be extremely difficult. After all, such things are easier said than done.

Even though the White Tiger Emperor only had a superficial understanding, he could still discover, by comparing the two, that the improved method of the Earth Immortal was less difficult, less risky, and less time-consuming.

In this way, he also had some ideas about the methods of becoming an Earth Immortal. However, that was a matter for the future.

Having obtained the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, the White Tiger Emperor no longer needed to worry about being unable to continue cultivating in the mortal universe and having to ascend to immortality. Therefore, he regained his hope and quickly returned to Kunlun Immortal Mountain to continue his seclusion.

For him, the ideal scenario would be to successfully cultivate the Kunlun Immortal Scripture within the remaining five thousand years of this life and the fifteen thousand years of the next life he would live through with the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, and then complete his transformation into the Kunlun Immortal Body. At that time, he would be free to choose whether to become an Earth Immortal or ascend to immortality.

Secondly, he could cultivate the Kunlun Immortal Scripture to an extremely high level before the end of his next life, enough to support him becoming an Earth Immortal. In this state, he could still choose between becoming an Earth Immortal and ascending to immortality.

At worst, he might not make significant progress in his next life and could only ascend to heaven and leave the mortal realm before his peak declines.

But in any case, the White Tiger Emperor only needs to focus on his arduous cultivation.
