Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Chu Yuan... no, Chu Yuan didn't know whether the city lord had agreed to his request or not;

After I said that, the city lord ignored me completely...

He thought it over and over and decided that he couldn't just wait idly;

Speaking of his envisioned path... he thought of an old friend;

Once upon a time, on the western continent of Earth, there lived a man named Dickin.

He was deeply bound to a secret realm, where he nurtured a group of children... those children borrowed his power through some kind of ritual...

It does have some similarities to my own thoughts.

I wonder if he's still alive and well after all these years.

Or, to put it another way, did they continue to stick to that path?

I hadn't paid attention to it during my previous trips back to Earth...

I need to find some time to go back and visit him; maybe I can get some inspiration from him...

......

After pondering for a while, Chu Yuan lifted his foot and walked out of the cultivation palace;

He had been in seclusion for a while, so he planned to go out for some fresh air, preferably to find a few unlucky guys to beat up and share his joy at successfully creating a cultivation technique.

Just then, a wisp of spatial power exploded in front of him, forming a spatial vortex.

A majestic voice resounded from within the vortex: "Jin Gu said, you want to see me? Come."

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and stepped inside...

Suddenly, my vision went dark, and I couldn't see anything.

This is near the core of the Ghost Realm, where a chilling aura permeates the air.

A burst of fire suddenly appeared in front of Chu Yuan, followed by a large array appearing before him;

As far as the eye could see, it was difficult to discern the boundaries of the great formation... All that could be seen was a simple and imposing ancient hall at what appeared to be a node in front of it!

The main hall emitted strange fluctuations and possessed a strong suppressive power.

It seems to be a remarkable treasure in itself?

Above its main gate are two large characters: Heavenly Craftsmanship!

Chu Yuan immediately understood whose territory this was.

He immediately bowed and greeted the Supreme Craftsman: "Your subordinate, Chu Yuan, greets the Supreme Craftsman!"

"No need for formalities, please come in."

The palace doors opened, and Chu Yuan entered the hall with a pulling force.

The hall was illuminated by numerous fires, dividing it into small areas... In each area illuminated by fires, a grand formation was in operation, and treasures were being forged.

Chu Yuan carefully sensed that many treasures were exuding the aura of primordial weaponry.

He was momentarily stunned;

Isn't it said that only the vast universe can give birth to primordial weapons?

How come... even a Supreme Being can forge things?

"Why do you insist on seeing me?" Before he knew it, a figure was standing in front of him.

Short hair and beard, with a composed demeanor;

Despite his ordinary appearance, he commands respect and admiration at first glance.

Chu Yuan bowed again and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Alright, explain why you're here."

"..." Chu Yuan felt that asking for a favor directly would seem a bit rude... He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "During the resurgence of the Fourth Era, I am grateful to the Supreme Being for saving me, which prevented me from falling into the hands of the supernatural..."

"So this is what you came for?" The Supreme Craftsman's expression was stern, but a hint of mockery flickered in his eyes: "In that case, I understand."

This is not a place you can stay any longer. Go back.

A wisp of spatial power swirls, about to form a spatial vortex;

Chu Yuan panicked and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please wait!"

The Supreme Craftsman raised an eyebrow: "Is there anything else?"

"...Your subordinate does indeed have a request!"

"explain."

"I wish to ascend to... Supreme!"

The road ahead is clear, but... it is fraught with difficulties and obstacles, and we need the help of our clan! After saying this, Chu Yuan felt much more at ease. He looked sincerely at the Supreme Craftsman, waiting for a reply.

"Ascension to the Supreme Realm... the path ahead is clear?" The Heavenly Craftsman Supreme frowned, as if he had heard some insane ravings;

He had no doubt that Chu Yuan had the potential to advance to the Supreme level;

But how long has he been the ruler?

A mere ten thousand years is not even enough for a seasoned ruler to undergo a single period of seclusion...

Chu Yuan also understood that empty words were hardly convincing;

He took out a memory crystal, which contained all the information of the Purple Heaven Jade Book: "This is my path ahead; please, Your Majesty, take a look!"

The Supreme Craftsman received the crystal and perused the information within.

His brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes furrowed even more, making Chu Yuan extremely nervous.

Little did they know, even the Supreme Craftsman was shocked;

Over the long and distant past, someone of his stature had witnessed all sorts of strange and unusual things...

But he couldn't understand this technique...

Those who came before could still force themselves to understand based on their own level of understanding;

However, when it comes to the so-called "Tribulation Transcending Stage" to "Mahayana Stage," one can only understand the descriptions, but it is difficult to start practicing directly.

At this moment, within his inner world, one of his Dharma bodies was practicing methodically.

Time has been accelerated to the extreme!

From Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, Golden Core... all the way to the late stage of Body Integration, it finally came to a standstill.

However... it's less like cultivation and more like a simulation...

Although he couldn't fully understand the mystery, the Supreme Craftsman vaguely sensed that... perhaps this so-called "path to immortality" could truly be traversed?

However, the difficulty involved is no less than that of advancing to the supreme level in martial arts;

It might even be more difficult...

Even at his supreme level, he could hardly fully comprehend the Purple Cloud Jade Scroll, let alone those at a lower level.

Even if it's just a road;

But if someone can successfully navigate this path, they will surely be able to advance to the Supreme level through martial arts...

"Is this method... truly feasible?"

Chu Yuan said in a deep voice, "I am absolutely certain!"

You said that you need the help of your community;

"What kind of assistance is this? Resources? Or treasures?" the Celestial Craftsman asked. "Or perhaps, it's guidance from us?"

"On this path... I'm afraid I can't offer you any guidance."

Chu Yuan stood tall and declared firmly, "Your Majesty, I need no resources or treasures... I want to promote the Immortal Path!"

"To cultivate oneself through the masses?" The Supreme Craftsman instantly understood Chu Yuan's thoughts;

His face darkened: "Do you know this is taboo?!"

Chu Yuan naturally knew this, because such things were not uncommon, and he had even witnessed them firsthand.

The Mirror Clan suffered such an fate... Many martial artists borrowed the characteristics of the Mirror Clan to experiment with their own paths and extract the essence from them.

This resulted in the loss of a large number of Mirror Clan members;

If one has the talent to go in the right direction, one can survive for a little longer.

If one goes astray, one will become a useless person, or even perish...

Afterwards, those martial artists who did this were all punished;

If even the Mirror Clan couldn't manage this, what chance would humans have?

Chu Yuan began to argue: "Although it is through the collective cultivation of oneself, ... the path of immortality has not been flawed to this day;

"I would never harm a human genius like myself..."
