Method of Becoming Immortal in the Mortal World

Method of Becoming Immortal in the Mortal World

"Sure enough, in the Zhetian Universe, cultivating step by step can only take one as far as the Extreme Dao Realm."

Chen Zhao frowned tightly before finally relaxing, sighing. "The world was shattered at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era. There is no possibility of becoming immortal through normal means."

The Ancient Emperor Great Emperors of Covering the Sky still doubted whether immortals existed.

Even the low-ranking cultivators of Later Generations believed that the Extreme Dao Realm was the peak and end of the path of cultivation.

They left behind the words, "I dare ask the heavens: do immortals exist?"

"Becoming immortal!"

While others still questioned whether immortals existed, Chen Zhao knew clearly that immortals were real.

Unlike those Forbidden Zone Supremes who had fallen into confusion and could only helplessly undergo Self-Severance while waiting for the Path to Immortality.

Chen Zhao knew that immortals truly existed, and he also had ideas about how to become one.

If one followed the normal method of becoming immortal, one would cultivate step by step.

In the end, one would reach the Human Dao Limit, trigger the Immortality Tribulation, and become a True Immortal after overcoming it.

If this were the Immortal Ancient Era, the glorious age of the Primordial Ancient Realm, Chen Zhao would not need to worry about how to become immortal at all.

After all, during the Immortal Ancient Era, the Primordial Ancient Realm had not only True Immortals, but even Immortal Kings.

Unfortunately, after the war against the Foreign Realm, the Primordial Ancient Realm had been forcibly shattered and turned into the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, where the laws of heaven and earth were incomplete.

The present Zhetian Universe was merely the Nine Heavens Ten Earths that had been shattered during the Ancient Era of Chaos.

Compared to the Nine Heavens Ten Earths of that time, the Zhetian Universe was even more incomplete. Even an Extremely Dao Supreme could only be born once every tens of thousands of years, subject to immense restrictions.

Its Life Essence was worlds apart from that of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths during the Ancient Era of Chaos.

After studying the laws of the Zhetian Universe, one would discover a pattern: ever since the Mythological Era, heaven and earth seemed to have been steadily weakening.

According to ancient records, the essence of heaven and earth was abundant during the Mythological Era, and quite a few immortal lands and blessed grounds left behind from the Previous Era still remained.

That was also why the Heavenly Court of that age had been so glorious.

After the Ancient Era began, the universe's Life Essence declined considerably, making cultivation far more difficult for living beings than it had been in the Mythological Era.

By the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, the environment of heaven and earth had grown even harsher. In the age when Ye Fan became emperor, only a few Dao Provers had emerged over such an immense span of time.

All of this showed that the universe was declining. If this trend continued,

it would enter an Era of Exhausted Spiritual Energy, where Dao and Law would no longer manifest and Spiritual Energy would cease to exist.

Chen Zhao shook his head, casting aside the stray thoughts in his mind.

It was still too early to think about such matters.

He was currently in the middle of the Ancient Era, when Life Essence was still abundant. For the time being, he did not need to worry about the broader environment.

To change the decline of heaven and earth, one could only become an Immortal King and nourish the universe in return.

"To become immortal in the broken Zhetian Universe, I can only choose becoming immortal in the mortal world!"

Chen Zhao muttered, the light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

Becoming immortal in the mortal world.

This was the Method of Becoming Immortal in the Mortal World created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor during the Ancient Era of Chaos.

In the Dharma-Ending Age, one would live against the flow life after life, break through one's own limits, and struggle across the mortal world.

In the end, one would make the Ultimate Leap amid the mortal world and become a Mortal World Immortal.

This path was exceedingly difficult. From the Mythological Era to the Post-Desolate Ancient Era,

the only ones who had successfully traversed it were Nether Lord, Emperor Lord, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, the Ruthless Great Emperor, Ye Fan, and the Beginningless Great Emperor.

This was a path where nine deaths accompanied every chance of survival. Every transformation came amid desperate circumstances, requiring one to face death directly. The slightest mistake would lead to one's downfall.

"Emperor Lord and the Undying Heavenly Emperor have both hidden behind the scenes and embarked upon the path of becoming a Mortal World Immortal."

"As for Nether Lord, he is probably still buried in the ground."

Chen Zhao sank into thought. This was currently the Ancient Era.

The only three who had embarked upon the path of becoming Mortal World Immortals were Emperor Lord, the Undying Heavenly Emperor, and Nether Lord.

This path was simply too difficult.

According to Chen Zhao's conjecture, the Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord of the Mythological Era had likely also embarked upon the path of becoming a Mortal World Immortal.

He had probably failed during a transformation in one of his lives, resulting in the Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's death. Even his body had turned into Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star.

"The Intercepting Heaven Dao originated from the Dao tradition established by the Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord."

Chen Zhao had been raised by an Old Sage of the Intercepting Heaven Dao.

He knew that the outside world's rumors that the Intercepting Heaven Dao was a Heavenly Lord Dao Tradition from the Mythological Era were not baseless.

Because the Intercepting Heaven Dao truly was a Heavenly Lord Dao Tradition and possessed part of the Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's inheritance.

It even possessed the Nine Secrets, renowned throughout ancient history.

The Nine Secrets.

They were secret arts created by Heavenly Lords who had reached the pinnacle of their respective fields during the Mythological Era. They represented the ultimate of techniques.

They were secret arts that could drive the world mad. Even Ancient Emperor Great Emperors would be moved by them.

The Nine Secret inherited by the Intercepting Heaven Dao was the Array Word Secret created by the Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord.

It was hailed as a supreme secret art that used humans to intercept Heavenly Secrets.

This interception meant using the Array Word Secret to set up formations possessing power comparable to heaven and earth.

Aside from the Array Word Secret, the Intercepting Heaven Dao had also inherited the Scripture of Salvation of the Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord.

It was said that this scripture had been created by the Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord to restrain Corpse Calamities.

Chen Zhao also possessed the Word Secret of the Carefree Heavenly Lord, as well as the Healer Word Secret of the Longevity Heavenly Lord.

As for the Nine Secrets, Chen Zhao knew their power deeply.

After all, Xiaoyao had displayed both the Word Secret and the elegant demeanor of a Mythological Era Heavenly Lord to him last time.

If Chen Zhao had not been slightly stronger, Xiaoyao would probably have been the one occupying his body now.

Everything he possessed would have been taken by Xiaoyao, and he would have made a wedding dress for another for nothing.

After killing Xiaoyao, although Xiaoyao had undergone Dao Transformation and departed,

Chen Zhao had obtained Xiaoyao's inheritance from Xiaoyao's Heavenly Lord Weapon, the Carefree Treasure Bottle.

A Heavenly Lord Weapon.

It was a supreme artifact forged from a Dao Prover's Dao and Law, and could be regarded as the continuation of a Dao Prover's life.

During his century of seclusion, Chen Zhao had thoroughly interrogated the deity of the Carefree Treasure Bottle and extracted all of Xiaoyao's inheritance from it.

Under normal methods, it would have been impossible to force the Carefree Treasure Bottle to submit.

However, as a supreme treasure of an extremely high rank, the Bronze Gate directly suppressed the deity of the Carefree Treasure Bottle, allowing Chen Zhao to smoothly obtain the Carefree Heavenly Lord's inheritance.

As for the Longevity Heavenly Lord's Healer Word Secret, Chen Zhao had obtained it by accident while traveling the Ancient Starry Road.

It had to be said that this healing secret art had been of immense help in his Proving the Dao.

Chen Zhao knew that the Longevity Heavenly Lord, who had created the Healer Word Secret during the Mythological Era, had not died.

He had sealed himself within a Life Forbidden Zone, waiting for the Path to Immortality to open.

During this period, the Longevity Heavenly Lord would repeatedly emerge to harvest the Life Essence of All Spirits, extending his own Lifespan as he waited for the Path to Immortality to open.

Unfortunately, in the Post-Desolate Ancient Era, after the Path to Immortality opened, the Longevity Heavenly Lord failed to explore it and was then killed in battle by the Great Completion Holy Body.

"The Life Forbidden Zones."

Chen Zhao also found the Life Forbidden Zones extremely troublesome.

It was obvious that, to the Forbidden Zone Supremes, he was now a prized delicacy.

After all, who would not want the origin of a Chaos Body?

By his Late Years, he would likely have no choice but to fight the Supremes of the Life Forbidden Zones.
