A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

After spending a day at the Chongxuan Sect, Luo Cheng headed to the Holy City.

It must be said that the cultivation culture on Fengyuan Star is extremely strong. Most people are aware of the existence of cultivators.

Every so often, the major sects would open their gates to recruit disciples. At that time, mortals would eagerly participate in the disciple recruitment ceremony, hoping to be chosen by the immortals and embark on the path of cultivation.

This is completely different from Earth and Apokolips. On those two planets, people have not only long forgotten the existence of cultivators, but they don't even believe in cultivation at all.

Luo Cheng looked up at the sky, then looked away after a moment. He knew that two immortals lived in seclusion on this planet, Fengyuan.

With his current strength, he has no intention of actively seeking out the whereabouts of immortals. Furthermore, immortals usually do not easily converse with ordinary cultivators.

After wandering around the city, Luo Cheng felt he couldn't fit into this world, so he took Mei'er to the teleportation array.

Several days later, Luo Cheng arrived at Tianting Star. This was his second time visiting this place.

As soon as Mei'er arrived at Tianting Star, she instantly became lively, but this liveliness gave Luo Cheng a headache.

"Where is my brother? I want to find him," Mei'er kept repeating.

Luo Cheng said helplessly, "Mei'er, I'm your brother too, right?"

"Yes, yes, but I still miss Brother Li Qiang."

Luo Cheng felt completely defeated.

Seeing Luo Cheng's helpless expression, Mei'er offered a rare word of comfort: "Brother Luo, Mei'er likes you very much too."

But then she changed the subject and said, "But I miss my brother more. Please take me to find him."

"Alright, alright." Luo Cheng finally understood Wu Chen and Yi Junsha's feelings before. This Mei'er was really too much of a pain.

So Luo Cheng took out a communication talisman and activated it with magic.

"Go!" A streak of light flew away into the distance.

However, after a long time, no one replied.

Luo Cheng guessed that Mo Huaiyuan might still be undergoing tribulation.

And so, Mei'er pressed on, "Brother Luo, has my brother received the message? When is he coming back?"

To be honest, Luo Cheng himself had never been to the Star Palace. The last time he came to Tianting Star, he wanted to find the location of the Star Palace, but he couldn't find it.

Now, all he can do is wait for Li Qiang to receive the message and reply to him.

You can't hit this little girl, and you can't scold her either. After all, she just misses her brother, what's wrong with that?

Luo Cheng said helplessly, "I'll take you to have some fun."

"I don't want to go."

"There's something delicious to eat."

"I don't want to eat."

"There are fun things."

"I don't want to play."

In the days that followed, Luo Cheng truly experienced what torment meant.

In the end, he simply shut down his six senses and entered a state of cultivation.

Until one day, Luo Cheng finally received a message from Li Qiang's flying sword.

He quickly activated his six senses and said to Gu Meier, "Little Ancestor, your brother has replied."

"Yay!" Mei'er cheered excitedly.

Luo Cheng immediately released his true essence, teleporting with Gu Meier.

A moment later, they arrived at a small town.

Luo Cheng used his divine sense to see Li Qiang sitting in a restaurant with a middle-aged man with long eyebrows.

At this moment, Li Qiang was in poor condition, his eyes were blank, and he looked like a young man who had just lost love on Earth.

Luo Cheng walked over and sat down, casually asking, "Broken up with your boyfriend?"

Mei'er immediately threw herself into Li Qiang's arms and cried out, "Brother!"

Mei'er's appearance finally brought Li Qiang back to his senses, and he subconsciously denied it: "I'm not heartbroken."

In Li Qiang's view, he had never been in a relationship, so how could he have experienced heartbreak?

"Your expression is written all over your face," Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Gu Meier asked curiously, "Brother, do you have someone you like? Meier will help you find a match so you can cultivate together."

"No, please." For once, Li Qiang showed a hint of shyness.

Next, Luo Cheng looked at Mo Huaiyuan beside him and asked, "Who is this guy?"

Li Qiang immediately introduced them: "This is my elder brother, Mo Huaiyuan. This is my senior brother, Luo Cheng."

The two greeted each other.

In fact, Luo Cheng had already guessed that this person was Mo Huaiyuan, and he also knew that Li Qiang came to Tianting Star to help Mo Huaiyuan overcome his tribulation.

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment, then set up a protective barrier around the area and said, "The Star Palace is destroyed, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Huaiyuan was startled.

Li Qiang quickly said, "My senior brother is someone I can trust."

Mo Huaiyuan finally calmed down a bit.

Luo Cheng knew in his heart that this was not the time to be sentimental; he had come here to cultivate divine techniques.

If he doesn't bring it up himself, neither Li Qiang nor Mo Huaiyuan will tell him.

Luo Cheng continued, "Besides the celestial artifacts, the Star Palace also has a jade slip, right?"

Mo Huaiyuan didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze to Li Qiang.

Li Qiang was shocked. He had never told anyone about the Star Palace.

Luo Cheng explained, "I know some methods of calculation."

In this world, the methods of calculation are not anything magical; many people have some understanding of them.

However, mastering this secret technique is extremely difficult.

Li Qiang chimed in, "Brother Mo, my senior brother is an incredibly talented person. He's also the most insightful person I've ever met."

Luo Cheng continued, "Immortal artifacts are useless to me. With my current cultivation level, I cannot use them. I just want to see that jade slip."

Mo Huaiyuan looked at Li Qiang and said, "Brother, you make the decision."

Li Qiang trusted Luo Cheng implicitly and immediately said, "Let my senior brother take a look."

Luo Cheng took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and couldn't help but smile: After searching for so long, I finally found the Heavenly Recommendation for Cultivating Gods.

If this were the beginning of Luo Cheng's cultivation journey, he really wouldn't have dared to practice this technique.

After all, the two Celestial Venerables have modified the rules of heaven and earth, so it is now almost impossible to become a god by relying on cultivation techniques.

Seeing Luo Cheng's expression, Li Qiang asked curiously, "What kind of martial art is this?"

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "This is a cultivation technique for cultivating divinity."

"Cultivating divinity?" Mo Huaiyuan was also very surprised when he heard this.

He is currently only a wandering immortal, not yet an immortal, so naturally he doesn't know some secrets from ancient times.

That's why, in the original story, Mo Huaiyuan had Li Qiang cultivate his divine powers.

If Mo Huaiyuan had known the dangers of cultivating divinity, he certainly wouldn't have let his brother take the risk.

After all, Li Qiang selflessly helped him find the Sea Soul Agate and risked his own safety to shield him from the heavenly tribulation.

These actions had already made Mo Huaiyuan regard Li Qiang as a brother, even closer than a brother.

Therefore, he would not let his brothers be in danger even if there was the slightest risk.

Luo Cheng continued, "There are many methods of cultivation, such as cultivating truth, cultivating immortality, cultivating demonic arts, cultivating as a monster, cultivating as a ghost, cultivating as a Buddha, and so on. In addition, there is the most mysterious method of cultivating divinity."

"Apart from cultivating the divine, other cultivation methods are extremely slow and require a long time."

"Take cultivating immortality as an example. First, one must cultivate truth, then become an immortal, and finally ascend from immortal to god."

"However, the cultivation of divinity is to cultivate directly from the very beginning, and to become a god in the shortest amount of time."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiang and Mo Huaiyuan immediately understood that this jade slip was so magical that it could make someone a god in a short period of time.

Luo Cheng continued, "However, the path to godhood is extremely dangerous. Just how dangerous? Suppose that all the cultivators in the cultivation world, including those in the immortal realm, went to cultivate to godhood together, only one or two people would ultimately succeed, or even none at all."

Mo Huaiyuan and Li Qiang were shocked upon hearing this.

The number of cultivators in the cultivation world and the immortal world is enormous. With so many people cultivating to godhood, only one or two can succeed.

Finally, Luo Cheng added that it was possible that none of them would succeed.

Therefore, it is clear that cultivating divinity is a path of certain death and no return.

Holding the jade slip, Luo Cheng exclaimed, "This thing is truly a treasure."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiang instinctively tried to snatch the jade slip, saying, "Senior brother, you cannot cultivate."

Luo Cheng laughed and said, "Not only do I want to cultivate divinity, but you should too."

Li Qiang quickly shook his head: "I haven't lived enough yet."

Mo Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Since your senior brother knows how difficult it is to cultivate to godhood, yet still dares to try, he must be confident."

Luo Cheng only mentioned the difficulty of cultivating divinity, but did not say that the cultivation method was the Azure Emperor's method, nor did he mention that the immortals were looking for this method.

Mo Huaiyuan couldn't help but ask, "Brother Luo, do you know whose this martial art is?"

Before this, Li Qiang and Mo Huaiyuan had witnessed the immortals destroy the Star Palace. The terrifying power of that destruction made it impossible for anyone to muster any will to resist.

Therefore, Mo Huaiyuan wanted to know whose martial arts technique it was.

Luo Cheng replied, "I'm not at liberty to say more about the specifics."

Seeing this, the two of them didn't ask any more questions.

Luo Cheng said, "I'll cultivate for a bit first, and then I'll let my junior brother cultivate his spirit."

Li Qiang hesitated for a moment: "Senior brother, are you really letting me do the repair?"

Luo Cheng thought to himself, "The path I'm taking should be different from the path Li Qiang is taking."

He then said, "You must cultivate. If you don't, how will you face the immortals?"

"Okay, I'll fix it." Li Qiang finally made up his mind when the topic of immortals came up.

He needs to have the ability to deal with immortals, protect Brother Mo, and safeguard those around him; therefore, he must cultivate divinity.

"Hehe." Luo Cheng smiled mysteriously, but didn't say anything more.

What exactly is fate? Some say that fate is closely related to personality, and Luo Cheng agrees with this.

It's like standing at a crossroads; people with different personalities will make different choices.

Just look at Li Qiang and you'll understand. If Li Qiang knew that Luo Cheng was in danger, even if he knew it was a trap, knew that he would be in danger, and even knew that he might lose his life, he would still go to rescue him without hesitation.

This is Li Qiang's personality, and it also determined the path he would take; it was his own choice.

Therefore, fundamentally speaking, destiny is actually in our own hands.

After obtaining the cultivation manual, Luo Cheng pondered that it must be a handwritten version by Gu Xing.

The original copy of the Heavenly Recommendation Chapter for Cultivating Gods is still in the hands of the Azure Emperor. If one wants to see the original, one must find an opportunity through Li Qiang, or go to the Immortal Realm to find the Azure Emperor.

However, Luo Cheng is not considering searching for the original cultivation technique for the time being, as the current conditions do not allow it.

Thus, Luo Cheng began to comprehend the realm of the Divine Heavenly Recommendation Chapter.

There are eighty-one minor realms and nine major realms in the cultivation of divinity. These nine major realms can also be called the Nine Hearts of the Heavenly God.

The so-called "heart of a god" requires experiencing different states of mind until the state of mind is perfected, only then can one transcend from mortal to god.

The Nine Hearts of the Celestials encompass the states of mind of mortals, cultivators, immortals, demons, and Buddhas.

In the original work, when Li Qiang was cultivating to godhood, he did not actually comprehend all the mental states. He relied on luck to advance in a leapfrog manner and became a god in a very short time.

To put it more precisely, mortals need to have an ordinary heart and the desires of mortals; immortals need to have the inaction, emptiness and ruthlessness of immortals; and demons need to have the ruthlessness and murderous intent of demons.

The nine major realms and eighty-one minor realms of the Nine Hearts of the Celestial God are all about comprehension. The key is to make the heart like a clear mirror, reflecting all things without being tainted by a speck of dust.

To describe my state of mind with a line of poetry: A thousand rivers reflect the moon, ten thousand miles of sky are cloudless.

Luo Cheng's cultivation level was quite high; he had completed the cultivation of the Divine Realm in just two days.

The path to divine cultivation requires the guidance of power, and the power of immortals is the best source of power.

In reality, reaching the pinnacle of immortality is the beginning of godhood.

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment, thinking that it would be somewhat difficult to convert true essence into divine power, so he should first improve his realm.

Immediately, he communicated with heaven and earth through his divine sense and entered a state of cultivation.

Upon seeing this, Mo Huaiyuan was dumbfounded: "Is this person cultivating?"

"Brother Mo, what happened?" Li Qiang asked, both worried and curious, seeing the shocked look on Mo Huaiyuan's face.

He was worried about his senior brother and curious about what had happened.

"Your senior brother is simply a monster, a prodigy! Do you know that? Just now, he broke through to the Integration Stage."

"That's normal! Brother Mo, you don't know this, but my senior brother has reached his current level in less than ten years of cultivation."

Suddenly, Luo Cheng used teleportation to arrive in the desert.

Mo Huaiyuan, along with Li Qiang, hurriedly followed them into the desert.

In an instant, streaks of lightning appeared in the sky, followed by a rapid gathering of massive clouds of calamity.

"So you've already overcome the tribulation?" Mo Huaiyuan was speechless.

Li Qiang asked with some concern, "Brother Mo, my senior brother rushed through his tribulation, will he be alright?"

"No, his cultivation level is very stable."

Soon, the Heavenly Tribulation took shape, and terrifying bolts of lightning crashed down on Luo City.

Luo Cheng casually threw a punch, shattering the lightning. Then he used magic to gather the lightning power together, transforming it into pure energy, which he then absorbed into his body.

Seeing this, Li Qiang said, "I didn't expect that the Heavenly Tribulation was nothing more than this."

"That's because your senior brother is too strong. Do you know that the power of this heavenly tribulation is even stronger than my previous tribulation as a loose immortal?"

Li Qiang said with a proud look, "This is my senior brother, it's normal, it's normal."

"You're so lucky to have such a senior brother."

"That's right."

Mo Huaiyuan suddenly sensed a fluctuation and said, "The tribulation of inner demons has arrived."

However, just as that wisp of demonic energy invaded Luo Cheng, golden light emanated from Luo Cheng's body, instantly shattering the demonic power.

"That's all?" Luo Cheng stood in the void, beams of immortal light shining brightly.

Luo Cheng knew that this was immortal spiritual energy, so he immediately gathered it and converted his true essence into immortal spiritual power.

Then, he flashed to Li Qiang's side.

"With the strength of the Mahayana stage, cultivating divinity should be enough."

Li Qiang quickly offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on successfully transcending the tribulation."

"Passing the tribulation is a trivial matter," Luo Cheng said. "With the immortal spiritual energy, cultivating divinity will be much easier."
