The ultimate goal of all monks is to ascend to immortality. In the past, the same was true for Li Xiuchang.
But now that he knows that ascension is a trap, he naturally doesn't want to ascend.
However, ascension is a necessary process for becoming an immortal, which is very troublesome.
Whether it is in a fifth-level world like Immortal Shade Realm or in other lower realms, when it breaks through to the upper limit of strength in the first-level world for the first time, it will inevitably attract Ascension Rule, leading to ascension.
Li Xiuchang asked, "Can I use Immortal Concealment Talisman to escape ascension?"
Lu Yang explained, "There is a big difference between your ascension in the fifth world and your previous ascension in the lower realm.
"Ascension in the lower world is more because your Cultivation Level exceeded the upper limit of the first-level world and triggered Ascension Rule, so you were forced to ascend and allowed more powerful people to concentrate on the higher-level world.
"But ascending to the fifth level of the world is the real ascension to immortality, and it is a part of the cultivation process."
Chen Changsheng also nodded. "There is a big difference in form. If you are a monk from the lower realm, such as Sea Boat Realm's monk, when you have reached the peak of virtual refining and are about to succeed in attacking Dao Integration Stage, you will trigger Ascension Rule and cause heavenly calamity.
"When you successfully overcome the tribulation, you will successfully complete the final breakthrough during the ascension process. When you ascend to the Immortal Shade Realm, you will become a true Dao Integration Stage monk.
"But Mahayana Stage's ascension to immortality is another matter. First, at Tribulation Crossing Stage, you will have gone through all the heavenly tribulations that need to be overcome, not once, but three times. When you reach Mahayana Stage and plan to ascend, there will be no more heavenly tribulations.
"But you must complete this ascension process before you can create your immortal body and soul and become a true immortal. If you use Immortal Concealment Talisman too early and avoid this process, your breakthrough will be incomplete and your immortal soul and body will be deficient."
Li Xiuchang took a deep breath. "Doesn't this mean that I have to ascend Upper Realm?"
There are risks in ascending, so you need to be cautious when ascending.
Ascending to the Upper Realm will cause strong spiritual energy fluctuations, attracting the attention of a large number of powerful people around you.
There is a risk of being sieged!
He is not an old fool like the neighbor brothers. As a new immortal who has ascended for the first time, it is nothing new to be bullied by other stronger people.
If you are lucky, you will hand over the treasure, recognize a big brother, and be a good little brother in the future, and your life will be safe.
If you are unlucky, you will encounter extremely vicious people who will not only seek wealth but also kill you.
Zhang Wanzhi took a bite of the roast meat in his hand and said with a mouth full of oil, "It's okay, as long as you complete the process of ascension, you don't have to ascend to the Upper Realm. To put it bluntly, if you complete the process of ascension and fail to ascend in the last step, it will not affect your breakthrough to become an immortal."
"We have completed the ascension process, how can we fail to ascend? "Li Xiuchang was puzzled, but then he remembered something and suddenly said:
"For example, I ascended in the Pure Land Realm!"
"That's right! "Zhang Wanzhi extended his thumbs in approval, "This is one of the feasible methods."
Pure Land Realm Without Upper Realm, none of the monks there can truly ascend, but it does not affect their becoming Buddhas.
Because each of them has completed the ascension process, it is only because they were unable to connect to the Upper Realm in the last step that the ascension failed, so it does not affect their breakthrough.
Chen Changsheng said, "There is another feasible plan, that is to ascend to the Dark Heaven Realm. The Teleportation Array I built between the Dark Heaven Realm and Chaotic Star Realm is still there. I can ascend to the Chaotic Star Realm to pick you up first, and then send you down through Teleportation Array after you ascend."
In fact, this method is also applicable to the Immortal Shade Realm, but it requires the body of Chen Changsheng to risk ascending to the Desolate Heaven Realm to build Teleportation Array. It is naturally more suitable for the Chaotic Star Realm to have ready-made ones.
Zhang Wanzhi said nonchalantly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you ascend in the Immortal Shade Realm. I'll give you a token. After you ascend, you can directly seek the protection of my Zhang family ancestors. With the protection of my Zhang family ancestors, you can walk sideways in the Desolate Heaven Realm."
The ascended ancestors of the Zhang family have gathered a division in the Desolate Heaven Realm.
Xia Siyun's almond-shaped eyes widened. "What a bad idea you came up with, how are you going to do it in the future?"
Li Xiuchang had another flash of inspiration and said, "You can also go to the Demon Suppressing Realm to ascend!"
"No, Demon Suppressing Realm doesn't even have Ascension Rule, it's better not to take the risk. "Chen Changsheng objected.
Mo Tu said quietly, "Actually, there is still a place where you can avoid ascending, and that is Immortal Shadow, but it is too dangerous, so don't try it."
"Can you avoid ascension in Immortal Shadow? "Li Xiuchang was surprised. This was the first time I heard this statement.
Lu Yang nodded. "This is a secret that everyone Four Great Immortal Sects knows, but it is too dangerous. Four Great Immortal Sects has become popular even in the Upper Realm, it is not a problem to protect the descendants ascending from the lower realm, but ascending in Immortal Shadow is in danger of death. In comparison, the ascenders of Four Great Immortal Sects would rather ascend to the Desolate Heaven Realm."
It was possible to avoid ascension within the Immortal Yin. This once again refreshed Li Xiuchang's knowledge, making him feel more and more that the Immortal Yin was not simple, it was extremely mysterious, and involved extremely high-level secrets.
After all, that place was once the center of the entire world of cultivating immortals!
In the end, to sum up, if you want to avoid ascension, there are two more reliable options.
One is to ascend to the Pure Land Realm;
The second is to go to the Dark Heaven Realm to ascend, and finally come back through Teleportation Array of the Chaotic Star Realm.
In comparison, the first option is more trouble-free.
Although Li Xiuchang is currently just Dao Integration Stage, it is actually not that far away from ascending to immortality.
Not only is his cultivation speed very fast, but it is also related to the particularity of the latter two realms.
Therefore, he had to think about ascension in advance.
After deciding to ascend to the Pure Land Realm in the future, a few people ended the topic.
However, the neighbor brothers couldn't help but sigh. Looking back, it seemed like it was only yesterday that Li Xiuchang moved into Eastern Geng District. How come Li Xiuchang was thinking about ascending to immortality in the blink of an eye?
Less than twelve years before and after, it was just a nap in their long life.
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment, and then said, "Xiuchang, you must have been curious, why do we help you practice? And why do we hide Cultivation Level and hide here Immortal Dust Sect?"
Li Xiuchang's heart tightened. This was indeed something he had always been curious about and concerned about. The senior brothers must have known it in their hearts, but they had never spoken out about it.
Now with his Cultivation Level promotion and his ascension in sight, the senior brothers finally took the initiative to bring up this topic.
Li Xiuchang did not hide it and nodded.
Chen Changsheng drank the wine in the cup and said frankly, "At the beginning, it was indeed because Old Gui had a fortune telling that you would be helpful to us in the future, so we kept you and helped you improve Cultivation Level as soon as possible."
Chen Changsheng After finishing his words, there was sudden silence around the dining table.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and glanced at Li Xiuchang.
They are observing Li Xiuchang's reaction.
"That's it. "Li Xiuchang smiled casually, clearing up the doubts in his mind.
He just wanted to explain why the neighboring brothers treated him differently and did not kick him out of Eastern Geng District. They also provided him with various conveniences and took care of him.
He is not a hypocritical person, and does not think there is anything wrong with it. Many deep bonds in the world, whether it is friendship, love, or even family ties, may start from "profit" or "desire."
Most of the love that lasts forever begins with lust.
Some parents' original intention of giving birth to children may be to "raise children for old age."
But this does not discount the greatness of love and family affection.
Li Xiuchang believes that even if the relationship between him and his senior brothers, who are both teachers and friends, starts with interests, after experiencing so much together, it can still withstand the test.
Seeing that Li Xiuchang didn't seem to care, the senior brothers felt a little relieved.
Chen Changsheng continued, "But later, we also regarded you as a member of our small group. To be honest, until now, I don't know how you will help us in the future.
"There are some things I haven't told you, and I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but keeping it secret from you may not be a good choice. After you become an immortal, I will tell you all the ins and outs."
"After ascension..."
Li Xiuchang is a little disappointed but also looking forward to it.
He thought he would know everything today, but after ascending... it seemed that it wasn't that far away.
Work harder, work harder, and strive to become a fairy within two or three years!
Senior Brother Chen said that he was afraid of putting pressure on him. Li Xiuchang didn't feel it at first, but when it came to this, he really felt a sense of pressure.
He really hoped that he could help his senior brothers, but he really didn't expect how he could help.
In terms of strength, he is far behind his neighboring senior brothers. Is there anything that his senior brothers can't do that he can do?
Probably the only thing left is "adding length".
Li Xiuchang withdrew his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. At the moment, his first goal was to ascend to immortality.
Dao Integration Stage's cultivation mainly consists of two words - enlightenment!
Keep understanding your major path. The more profound your major path is, Cultivation Level will naturally get better.
But enlightenment does not happen overnight, nor is it something that can be accomplished quickly.
Although there are cases like the legendary situation where one suddenly has enlightenment and ascends from the spot, but after all, they are very few.
Especially what Li Xiuchang realized was his own way. There is no such way in the world. He needs to explore and develop it bit by bit, let alone have an epiphany.
If he wants to make rapid progress, there is only one shortcut, and that is to "learn from others"!
Just like he borrowed from "Sentient Dao" in Buddhism and Daoism, he also borrowed from other avenues that inspired him and had similarities with "Equalizer Dao"!
The same thing happened when I discussed Daoism with my neighbor brothers before.
Ascension Pavilion The library is a treasure house, and he has also used "Anointing" to instill in him all kinds of great insights that can be useful to him.
So he set his sights on Preaching Ranking!
Although he has unlocked and read all the relevant Dao insights in Preaching Ranking, it is undoubtedly a fool's errand to rely on his own understanding and absorb the essence of other people's Dao insights.
After all, he does not specialize in other people's avenues. If he wants to understand the various insights of other people's avenues, his efficiency is very low.
Unless supplemented by the secret method of preaching!
For example, Ascension Pavilion directly used the secret method of preaching to understand various Dao insights in the library, which was very efficient.
It is very difficult and time-consuming to comprehend the knowledge in Preaching Ranking purely by yourself.
There is only one way to obtain Preaching Ranking's secret teaching opportunity reward, and that is to get on the list!
He has already been on the annual list, and only by relying on the overall list can he get the opportunity of "Anointing" as a reward.
But wanting to be on the overall list is not an easy thing. The difficulty is not at the same level as competing for the first place in the annual list.
Grand Preaching Ranking only displays the top 500. If you want to get the overall ranking reward, you must reach the top 500!
This is the ranking accumulated by the Immortal Dust Sect over tens of thousands of years!
Even if some seniors have ascended or even died, their rankings are still there.
The competition for the overall ranking is no longer to compete with contemporaries, but to compete with the sect's geniuses in history for ranking!
The neighboring brothers and sisters basically range from five hundred to one thousand.
Of course, it's not necessarily that they can't make it into the top 500. It's more likely that they don't want to be in the limelight.
However, it is said that Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi secretly sneaked into the top 500. Li Xiuchang has not yet determined which vest he is wearing, but it can also be seen that the senior brothers have the ability to enter the overall list.
Li Xiuchang It is somewhat difficult to hit the top 500.
In fact, he has accumulated a lot and has a lot of high-value knowledge to share.
Each one is enough to cause a sensation Immortal Shade Realm!
For example, the refining methods of Soul Artifact and Soul Material, such as the Five Elements Handgun, Talisman Bullet Launcher and other magical weapons Dharma Treasure he previously created specifically for the Demon Suppressing Realm people, would be very popular among monks with slight changes.
He has a lot of inventions, Experience and Insights, and knowledge like this.
In addition, he shared the method of making "Alchemy Talisman" before, which once gave Fu Dao a second spring, and also accumulated a profound foundation for him.
Li Xiuchang is no longer an unknown person on Preaching Ranking, but is even firmly ranked among the top five thousand people on Preaching Ranking.
At this time, he wants to hit the top 500, but it is not hopeless.
Anyway, you can try your best. Anyway, the overall ranking is calculated based on the total number of spikes obtained, and it will not expire, so if you have any good knowledge, just share it.
Only the top 500 on the overall list will be rewarded. If you climb the Preaching Ranking overall list, you will immediately have the opportunity to get 10,000 Preaching Post Anointing.
This is just the beginning, 10,000 Preaching Post initiations may not sound like much, but in reality the rewards from the overall list are steady.
Ranking 500th on the overall list can get 100 Preaching Post initiation opportunities every year.
The 499th place is based on adding 10, which is 110 Preaching Post initiation opportunities.
The ranking goes up, and so on.
Therefore, the group of people ranked at the top of the overall list can receive more than 5,000 Preaching Post initiation opportunities every year.
Of course, some seniors who have ascended or even died occupy the forefront of Preaching Ranking and receive a large amount of rewards every year, but they can never be used.
This is actually a waste of resources.
But there is no way. Originally, the key of Preaching Ranking could be used to manage and adjust the rewards of those who died, so that the rewards could be deferred to those who followed.
But now that the key is lost, I can't control it at all.
Fortunately, the key was lost only in the past few thousand years. Before that, Grand Preaching Ranking had also made adjustments. Some seniors on the overall list who had passed away did not actually receive rewards.
The rewards have been postponed. Currently, as long as you are in the top 600 of the overall list, you can receive continuous rewards every year.
"Being ranked in the top 600 is also a big challenge. I can only give it a try and do my best!"
