According to Lu Chenling, when cultivating the Nine Nether Nine Heavens Ascension Scripture,
the power of the scripture would transform a person's consciousness into the Nine Nether Hell, tempering their mind and awareness.
If one could endure that tempering, one might ascend from the Nine Nether Hell to an Immortal Realm transformed from consciousness. Their physical body would then ascend along with their mind.
But after Jiang Chuan finished reading the Nine Nether Nine Heavens Ascension Scripture, he felt it differed greatly from what Lu Chenling had described.
In his view, although the Nine Nether Nine Heavens Ascension Scripture tempered one's mind and consciousness, its true key lay in how it reshaped a person's cognition.
From its opening line alone—'The heart is the beginning of all things; thus, only with me can there be heaven and earth'—it was not hard to see how much importance the Nine Nether Nine Heavens Ascension Scripture placed on human cognition.
If you believed you were in the Immortal Realm, then this place was the Immortal Realm. If you believed you were in the Nine Nether Hell, then this place was the Nine Nether Hell.
This was also the secret behind why the Nine Nether Nine Heavens Ascension Scripture could allow the physical body and mind to ascend together!
"Although this is vastly different from what Lu Chenling told me, she is only a mere Void Immortal. She probably never even read the Nine Nether Nine Heavens Ascension Scripture, so naturally she could not understand its divine marrow. But if that is the case, how am I supposed to cultivate the Nine Nether Nine Heavens Ascension Scripture?"
Jiang Chuan found himself in a bind. In his eyes, the Nine Nether Nine Heavens Ascension Scripture was not a scripture any normal person could cultivate at all,
