Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 445 The Path of Mortal Life, the Difficulty of Becoming an Immortal

Enveloped in ethereal mist, imbued with spiritual energy, and with celestial beings dancing about, it resembled a dreamlike fairyland, inspiring endless longing.

Wisps of celestial energy emanated from that world, making Yuan Changqing, Gai Jiuyou, and Ye Fan feel completely comfortable.

Although they could only watch helplessly as the Immortal Emperor left, Yuan Changqing and the other two still had a clear understanding of the situation.

As long as we can force the Immortal Emperor out of this universe, there will be no regrets. At least this world will become safer.

As the Immortal Emperor departed, Wushi Zhong also entered the rift and disappeared from this realm.

Yuan Changqing has finally achieved his goal, which is something to be happy about.

As for that strange world, let the Great Emperor Wushi deal with it.

Finally, the rift closed, the Chaos Cave collapsed, all the strange phenomena disappeared, leaving only chaos.

"Senior, is that world... the Immortal Realm?!" Ye Fan asked Yuan Changqing, his eyes burning as he gazed at the strange world.

"No!" Yuan Changqing shook his head and continued, "The Immortal Realm? It's not that easy to get in. Besides, if it were really the Immortal Realm, why would the Undying Emperor cause trouble in our world?"

Ye Fan also came to his senses at this moment, and after Yuan Changqing's explanation, he understood.

That's indeed the case. Those ancient supreme beings sleeping in those forbidden zones of life are not much different from the Immortal Emperor. They all want to enter the Immortal Realm and become immortals.

However, the Immortal Emperor was lucky; he found the path to immortality.

At this moment, Gai Jiuyou asked again, "The energy that was just leaked from that world must have been immortal energy, right? It was only a little bit, but it made people feel incredibly comfortable."

"Yes, after breathing it into my body, my injuries have improved a lot," Ye Fan nodded and said.

However, Yuan Changqing didn't say much, he just nodded. After all, that strange world did indeed contain longevity substances that could extend people's lifespan.

However, that strange world was just a fragment, a node between the path to immortality and the true immortal realm.

Now that the Chaos Cave has collapsed, this path to immortality has crumbled, and the Undying Emperor has been forced into the Strange World. If he wants to interfere in the world of Shrouding the Heavens again, he will have to pay a huge price.

This outcome is already the best possible result.

This time, the Immortal Emperor's plan to become an immortal was interrupted by Yuan Changqing and the other two, as well as the Great Emperor Wushi, which blocked his chance to live another life. This can be considered as delaying the Immortal Emperor's time to become a mortal immortal.

However, Yuan Changqing and his two companions also incurred a deep-seated hatred towards the Immortal Emperor.

However, now that the Great Emperor Wushi is keeping the Undying Emperor in check, Yuan Changqing is not afraid of him causing trouble, and this time his goal has been achieved.

Seeing that strange world this time also deeply moved Ye Fan and Gai Jiuyou.

In addition, the correct method for achieving immortality mentioned by Yuan Changqing earlier also ignited the passion in Gai Jiuyou and Ye Fan's hearts.

After all, who doesn't want to become an immortal? Haven't you seen those ancient supreme beings who were willing to transform into darkness in order to become immortals?

Gai Jiuyou said again, "In that world, I sensed the aura of immortality."

Yuan Changqing then said, "Elder Gai feels it's good. That is indeed a substance that promotes longevity, unlike in our world where such substances are scarce."

"Therefore, that world can grant immortality to some people."

Finally, Yuan Changqing looked at Gai Jiuyou and said quietly, "If you can't walk the path of immortality in the mortal world, entering that other world is also a good option."

"However, if one does not follow the path of immortality in the mortal world, the only way to become an immortal is to spend time."

"Moreover, becoming a mortal immortal is far more powerful than becoming an immortal through the conventional methods."

Yuan Changqing was not worried about Ye Fan. As the chosen one of this world, he was bound to embark on this extremely difficult path.

Therefore, whether or not Ye Fan enters that strange world has little impact on him.

However, Gai Jiuyou was certain that Yuan Changqing did not know whether he could embark on or successfully walk the path of the Mortal Immortal.

Gai Jiuyou knew that Yuan Changqing was reminding him, and replied, "There's no rush now, there's still plenty of time. I'd like to give it a try, and if it really doesn't work out, we can make a decision later."

Being a peerless genius nine thousand years ago, Gai Jiuyou still had his pride.

Gai Jiuyou now sees hope for becoming an immortal and is no longer as lost as before.

Therefore, he now has two paths before him, and in this life, he is destined to walk one of them.

It should be understood that the Great Emperor realm, as the supreme realm of this world, no longer has the means to seal itself off.

After all, being at the pinnacle of humanity is simply too powerful, which is why a great emperor in one era could suppress the entire universe and his own time.

Unless, like those ancient supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life, they cut themselves off.

However, the immortal path in the mortal world that Yuan Changqing mentioned was something that Gai Jiuyou longed for immensely.

Therefore, having learned the correct path to immortality, how could Gai Jiuyou be willing to not take it?

Even Ye Fan shared the same thought as Gai Jiuyou, although Ye Fan hadn't been as eager as Gai Jiuyou before.

After all, although Ye Fan has now achieved the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body, he is comparable to an Emperor.

However, he was still in the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm, only one step away from becoming a Great Emperor.

However, this very step was blocked by a great emperor who ruled the world, making it an insurmountable barrier.

Therefore, Ye Fan wasn't so obsessed with becoming an immortal before; he was still thinking about becoming an emperor!

The situation is different now. Having seen the path to immortality, Ye Fan is even more determined. In this life, he must become an emperor and an immortal.

"Alright, let's go too. Now that the Undying Emperor, this scourge, has left this realm, our goal has been achieved. From now on, let's all cultivate diligently," Yuan Changqing said.

Gai Jiuyou and Ye Fan nodded in agreement, but this day brought them immense shock.

They met the immortal emperor who had lived for millions of years, and learned that the Great Emperor Wushi was still alive, but not in this realm.

Furthermore, Gai Jiuyou and Ye Fan learned the correct method to become immortals from Yuan Changqing, and their hearts were burning with excitement.

As the three of them left the independent world inside the ancient star Yinghuo, they looked at this ancient star, which had become dilapidated and looked as if it could disintegrate at any moment because of this earth-shattering war.

That independent world is the Realm Tomb World, which is sealed inside the ancient star Yinghuo.

Now that the Immortal Emperor has left this universe, this ancient star has also completed its mission.

At this moment, Yuan Changqing took direct action, taking the ancient star Yinghuo into the World Pearl and turning it into nourishment for the World Pearl.

Then, three astonishing rainbows pierced through the starry sky and universe, traversing the star field and reaching the Big Dipper.

The three supreme beings traveled with unparalleled divine might, and wherever they went, all the heavens and universes submitted to them.

In the Heavenly Court, Ye Fan, Yuan Changqing, and the other two sat together.

This time, although the three of them did not kill the Immortal Emperor by working together, they still achieved their goal.

Not only did they interrupt the Immortal Emperor's transformation and prevent him from living another life, but they also joined forces with the Great Emperor Wushi to force the Immortal Emperor into that strange world.

Moreover, this time they also reaped huge rewards, collecting a considerable amount of the supreme flesh and blood that had been cut off from the giant flesh ball.

These supreme essences of flesh and blood can not only prolong life, but also be used for cultivation.

Even the Immortal Emperor was beaten until his divine blood was spilled, but Yuan Changqing and the other two collected it. Within this divine blood, there was a portion of the Immortal Emperor's Dao principles!

Therefore, whether you consume these essences of flesh and blood to comprehend their principles or share them with those around you, they bring immeasurable benefits.

After drinking the tea brewed with the tea leaves of the Enlightenment Tea Plant, Gai Jiuyou asked, "Young friend Yuan, could you tell us more about the Immortal of the Mortal World?"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "In my understanding, the Immortal realm is actually a realm where strength is divided up."

"Just like the different names we have for each secret realm, now that we have cultivated to the Great Emperor realm, we are also called the pinnacle of humanity."

"Therefore, this is a huge division between the realm of immortals and the realm of gods. We are currently still in the realm of humans and cannot achieve immortality."

"A key characteristic of immortals is their ability to live forever, which is a huge gap between the two and cannot be easily distinguished by simple realms."

Gai Jiuyou and Ye Fan nodded, understanding the difference between the human realm and the immortal realm.

Ye Fan then said, "Senior, are you saying that after entering the Immortal Realm, it's a completely different world?"

"Indeed, the realm of immortals can no longer be described as transcendent; it allows one to exist in the world forever." Yuan Changqing nodded.

Then, Yuan Changqing continued, "Therefore, the Great Emperor represents the pinnacle of humanity, while the realm of immortals is another world entirely."

"Therefore, what is an immortal? It is a realm above the Great Emperor."

"Actually, as I've told you before, our universe is an incomplete universe, and it can no longer give birth to immortal matter."

"However, before the age of mythology, supreme powerhouses could live for millions of years."

"However, the world has undergone a great change, entering the era of Dharma decline. The substances that promote longevity have disappeared, which means that even the Great Emperors and Supreme Beings can only live for about ten thousand years."

"Just like the world we saw the Immortal Emperor enter before, it contains substances that promote longevity, and people there live much longer than we do."

"And the lack of longevity substances is also the reason why the emperors and supreme beings of our world have short lifespans."

"So, the path to immortality in the mortal world is actually about finding the substance of longevity within one's own body and living on in life after life. This is the path to immortality in the mortal world."

"As long as the longevity substance is constantly generated and transformed within one's own body, then it means that one has embarked on the path to immortality in the mortal world."

"I see." Ye Fan understood what he meant, but not quite, so he quickly asked, "Senior, is there any way to find the longevity substance within one's own body?!"

Yuan Changqing shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I've only cultivated to the Great Emperor realm. Even if I knew the path ahead, I wouldn't know how to proceed."

"You should know that there are countless amazing and peerless people in this world. Which of those ancient supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life was not a legendary figure who once dominated an era?"

However, very few people are able to embark on the path to immortality in the mortal world.

"Therefore, finding the longevity substance hidden deep within my body is extremely difficult. No one can help you; you can only rely on yourself. It may take tens of thousands of years to find it."

"Even if we are emperors, we are only about ten thousand years old. You can imagine how difficult the path to immortality in the mortal world is."

Listening to Yuan Changqing's explanation, Ye Fan and Gai Jiuyou also learned that this mortal immortal path could only be relied upon by themselves, and with good luck, they might be able to successfully find the longevity substance within their bodies.

If you're unlucky and your lifespan comes to an end without finding it, you can only wait to perish, or like those dark sovereigns, cut yourself off and transform into darkness.

However, to live life after life, one must find the longevity substance within oneself and constantly transform oneself; this is the path to immortality in the mortal world.

However, Gai Jiuyou and Ye Fan also realized that finding the longevity substance within their own bodies was extremely difficult, and it might take tens of thousands of years to find it.

Immediately, both Gai Jiuyou and Ye Fan felt a sense of heaviness in their hearts.

However, this is not surprising, as from the mythological era to the present day, only a handful of people have been able to successfully embark on the path to immortality in the mortal world.

In this world, only a few people, such as the Emperor, the Divine Silkworm Emperor, the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Beginningless Great Emperor, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, and Duan De, walk the path of immortality in the mortal world, which shows how difficult it is.

Other ancient emperors, if they had found the substance for immortality, would not have cut themselves off and fallen into a deep sleep in the forbidden zone of life.

This world would not be so dark and turbulent. However, this path is destined to be difficult, and those who can embark on the path to immortality in the mortal world are destined to be the most amazing people in this world.

Even if Yuan Changqing knew how to walk the path to immortality in the mortal world, he couldn't guarantee that he would succeed.

Therefore, in the years to come, Yuan Changqing will need to continue to comprehend this path on his own.

Ye Fan suddenly asked, "Senior, has the Ruthless Great Emperor, the Lord of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, already embarked on this path?"

"That's right, not only the Ruthless Emperor, but also the Undying Emperor and the Beginningless Emperor that you saw before," Yuan Changqing nodded.

People are already walking this road, but very few people know about it.

Now, these people who are guiding the way have shown Yuan Changqing and his two companions the path ahead. Whether they can succeed depends on their own fate.

The presence of those who had already taken the lead only fueled the desire of Yuan Changqing and his companions.

Yuan Changqing continued, "If you want to walk the path of immortality in the mortal world, you must have a heart that can persevere for a long time."

"If my lifespan comes to an end, as long as there is an elixir of immortality, I can live another life and continue my exploration."

"However, if you really cannot embark on the path to immortality in the mortal world, you can also enter the world where the Great Emperor Wushi resides."

"However, that world is not one that can be entered at will."

"Therefore, if you have the opportunity to get in, you must seize it."

Gai Jiuyou and Ye Fan nodded at the same time, both of them knowing why Yuan Changqing said that.

After all, even if you know the method to become an immortal, you are not guaranteed to succeed.

Then, that strange world is also a good place to go.

However, even in that strange world, it's not a matter of unlimited numbers of people being able to enter; only three or four people can enter at a time.

Yuan Changqing also knew that the next path to immortality would begin on Flying Immortal Star, which would be an opportunity to enter a strange world.

Yuan Changqing also planned to take this opportunity to tell the Yellow Emperor and the other three when he returned to Earth.

As for their choice, that remains to be seen.

"Senior, does the Immortal Realm truly exist?" Ye Fan asked again.

This is not surprising. If Yuan Changqing hadn't known these things, he would have been just as curious as Ye Fan.

Yuan Changqing said ambiguously, "Maybe they exist, maybe they don't. These are things that are beyond our level of cultivation to access."

"If you really want to know whether the Immortal Realm exists, perhaps you will know when you reach a certain level in the future. There's no need for us to worry about it now."

"What we need to do now is to cultivate diligently and live on in life after life. If there really is a celestial realm, we will naturally see it after we become immortals."

Gai Jiuyou sighed, "Yes, what we need to do next is to cultivate diligently and find our own path to immortality in the mortal world."

"That's right. The Immortal Realm we know might be a world with longevity substances that grant immortality, a world that is larger and more prosperous than our universe!" Yuan Changqing nodded.

Ye Fan then said, "So, the Path to Immortality is nothing but a shocking scam!"
