As the saying went, those who walked different paths could not make plans together. At this moment, that timeless truth could not have been more fitting. Clearly, the "Dao" pursued by these two people differed as widely as heaven and earth.
At the beginning of the martial path, so-called "momentum" was like surging, roaring waves, crashing against every obstacle with unstoppable force.
"Intent," meanwhile, resembled drifting clouds and mist, containing endless mysteries and unfathomable depths.
As for "profound meaning," it was like a pearl hidden in darkness, awaiting one destined to uncover its dazzling radiance.
The subsequent "laws" were even more like the laws of the universe itself—unbreakable and supreme.
Finally, when a martial artist successfully condensed a Dao Fruit, it meant they had already stepped onto the stairway toward a higher realm.
Yet all of this was merely the beginning, for every one of those stages was, in the end, only a form of comprehension regarding one's own state of mind and the origin of heaven and earth.
But if one wished to break through into the Half-Immortal Realm that countless people dreamed of, the Dao Fruit one had condensed had to reach perfection.
Only then could one flawlessly merge that mysterious power of rules into oneself and forge a personal "Dao."
This Dao was the crystallization of one's own will, the laws of heaven and earth, and countless insights gained through cultivation.
After that, it still had to be combined with an immortal body and immortal power.
An immortal body possessed transcendent toughness and strength, while immortal power was like an inexhaustible spring, providing an unending supply of strength.
Only when those three became perfectly one could one truly attain the undying, indestructible realm of an "immortal," forever transcending the Cycle of Life and Death.
