Inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
"The Mythological Cultivation System!"
Eyes bright, Di Jun slowly uttered the six words. His aura was deep and boundless, as though towering above everything around him. It seemed he looked down upon endless dimensions, where all laws were born and all Daos returned to one. Streams of profound, unfathomable power converged and flowed into his body.
The River of Time faintly appeared behind Di Jun. As the Myth Imprint between his brows shone, it seemed to lift him beyond Space-Time, placing him above all things.
"As expected of the Mythological Cultivation System. Even though it's incomplete, the moment it appeared, it created an anomaly that was impossible to conceal—even though I'd been prepared for it and had set up layers of barriers to seal off the Heavenly Realm completely."
"But... heh. The Primordial Great Powers probably think this is just a top-tier innate cultivation method. Even someone like Hongjun can only glimpse a small part of it, sensing that it holds the aura of transcendence and is nearly a method for attaining the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm."
"What is this, a whole stack of nested deceptions? Well, that works. Hongjun may be surprised, but he won't grow wary. If one day in the future he discovers this is the Mythological Cultivation System, I wonder what his expression will be. I'm sure it'll be quite amusing."
He gave a quiet exclamation of admiration. As a thought crossed his mind, Di Jun chuckled, a hint of anticipation rising in his eyes.
He had crossed countless eras of the Primordial Wilderness. A Kalpa had passed since his true spirit awakened, and now he had finally transformed from a chess piece into a chess player!
Though his cultivation had yet to reach the summit, he already had trump cards and the standing to act. From this day on, he would take his place as a player and, step by step, look down upon the entire chessboard that was the Primordial Wilderness!
"By my classification, the Mythological Cultivation System has the Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Divine Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and Great Daluo Heavenly Immortal realms. The Human Immortal Realm is the lowest, and the Great Daluo Heavenly Immortal Realm is the highest. Could it also be called Mythic Da Luo? The Mythic Da Luo Golden Immortal?"
"The names aren't important. They're just labels. What matters is the power contained in each realm. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time, and my insights were insufficient. I could only deduce the cultivation method for the first realm. I can work out the rest later, so it doesn't really matter."
"The curtain should rise."
Taking a deep breath, Di Jun's expression turned serious. He lowered his eyes and murmured to himself. Then he raised his head slightly and waved his hand. A streak of divine light shot into the void and vanished.
Soon, footsteps sounded. Taiyi, Nuwa, Fuxi, Randeng, Kunpeng, and the Ten Heavenly Sages entered together.
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty."
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty."
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty."
Everyone bowed and spoke in unison.
"No need for formalities. Sit."
As though his words became law, the moment Di Jun spoke, a cushion appeared beside each person's feet.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Heavenly Court's high-ranking officials took their seats.
"I once said that my retreat concerned matters of great importance. Once I emerged, the Heavenly Court would reach a new level. I was referring to the method I created—or, rather, the system. It is called the Mythological Cultivation System!"
"After countless years of effort, I have finally deduced the complete outline of the Mythological Cultivation System, along with the cultivation method for its first realm."
"Everyone, the glorious age of our Heavenly Court has officially begun!"
"The curtain has risen!"
Di Jun's gaze swept across the room. He didn't keep them in suspense or waste time. With a slight smile, he spoke with resounding conviction.
"The Mythological Cultivation System?"
"Was the anomaly that appeared in the Heavenly Realm just now caused by the Mythological Cultivation System?"
Everyone froze for a moment, then realized what he meant. Their breathing caught, their expressions filled with shock, and their minds were shaken.
They didn't know much about the Mythological Cultivation System, but how could anyone present not know about myths?
The Mythological Imperial Dynasty had made all the people of the Heavenly Court immortal and undying, while blessing them with destiny's favor and its feedback. Their cultivation speed had increased by far more than just several times or even tenfold.
After cultivating their own Mythological Laws, Taiyi and the others had gained strength that could only be described as world-shaking. Though they had only just begun, their status was already exalted beyond words, and they possessed unimaginable potential and a limitless future.
And now there was a Mythological Cultivation System???
They didn't know the details, but just the word "mythological" was enough for them to imagine how terrifying it must be!
"I'll explain the details to you all later. First, I'll teach you the Mythological Cultivation System."
"Bai Ze, once you and the other nine Heavenly Sages have mastered the system, grant this method to all the people of the Heavenly Court so they can cultivate it."
"Taiyi, those of you who have already attained Mythological Status may cultivate this method as well. It's only a system. You can extend it according to your own Mythological paths, greatly improving your cultivation speed and comprehension."
Di Jun spoke slowly.
"Yes."
"Yes."
Everyone's spirits lifted, and they answered at once.
"The Mythological Cultivation System has five realms: Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Divine Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and Great Daluo Heavenly Immortal. The Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Divine Immortal realms are the foundation. They focus on gathering and transforming Essence, Qi, and Spirit. After that, one enters the true Mythological Domain."
"Time is limited, so for now I've only deduced the Human Immortal Realm. But that should be enough."
"According to my calculations, when the Human Immortal Realm is cultivated to perfection, one's status will be comparable to the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal Realm, while one's strength will be enough to fight a Primordial Immeasurable Golden Immortal—or even suppress one. That should suffice for now. I'll continue to refine and deduce the later realms. By the time you reach that point, the cultivation method for the Earth Immortal Realm will be complete."
After considering his words briefly, Di Jun began to explain.
"???"
Everyone's breath caught. They were stunned.
Just reaching the peak of the first realm would let them stand against the Primordial Immeasurable Golden Immortal Realm???
Your Majesty, didn't you say the first three realms were just about laying a foundation? You call this laying a foundation?
One had to know that after a living being transcended the Primordial Wilderness and attained the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, cultivation was no longer divided into the minor stages of early, middle, late, and peak. Instead, each realm had nine minor stages, the Nine Heavens.
And breaking through each minor stage was like the difference between a mortal and a sage. What was more, above the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm came the Primordial Luo Shang Golden Immortal, then the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal Realm, and only after that the Primordial Immeasurable Golden Immortal Realm.
So this was the Mythological Cultivation System? No wonder it was so terrifying!
Everyone marveled to themselves, drawing in breath again and again.
"That's the general idea. Next, I'll explain in detail how to cultivate the Human Immortal Realm. You may adapt and refine the method according to your own Daos, creating your own innate cultivation methods. Focus your minds and listen carefully. If anything is unclear, ask me after I've finished."
Di Jun spoke solemnly.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately cleared their minds, focused their attention, and looked toward Di Jun.
"Humans are foremost among all living beings, and the source of the very concept of living beings. They are the destination to which all paths converge and the core to which all living beings point. Thus, the first realm of the Mythological Cultivation System is called the Human Immortal Realm."
"The core of the Human Immortal Realm is Qi. One must wield it and derive power from it. You must take the Great Dao you cultivate as your core and use it to construct a complete rune of 'Qi,' which may also be called primordial Qi!"
"When your primordial Qi is complete, you have entered the realm. Next, you must use it to construct your own Mythological form and gather your own Mythological Dharma Form, returning the primordial Qi to the void and transforming the void into reality."
"Those who are mythological hold the Origin and are themselves the source. If you have a Mythological Dharma Form, you must begin constructing your own Origin and Mythological traits from it—or, in other words, your Authority. If you derive your own Origin and gather your own Illusory Authority, you will have reached perfection in the Human Immortal Realm."
"Take Nuwa as an example. If she gathered a Dharma Aspect, her Origin would lie in the Human Race, or even in the Human Dao. As long as the Human Dao existed, she would not die; as long as the Human Dao endured, she would be eternal. This trait would reflect her Origin and form a concept—that would be the Mythological Origin."
"As for Authority, it would be related to the Human Dao, or perhaps to creation. The Authority that best matched her own Mythological Dharma Form would be easier to gather. It would be an Authority tailor-made for her."
"Remember this: Mythological Authority should be refined, not numerous. You must not gather too many Mythological Authorities. Otherwise, even if you're invincible among those of your realm, that strength will hold you back, and continuing to break through will become countless times more difficult.
"This is the first realm of the Mythological Cultivation System: the Human Immortal Realm!"
Every word rang out like the Heavenly Constitution, every sentence like the voice of the Dao. The concepts were vast and profound, their mysteries unfathomable. As Di Jun's lips moved and he spoke, each word conjured an extraordinary vision, like a projection expounding on the meaning and mysteries of his words.
By the time Di Jun finished speaking, the entire Heavenly Emperor Palace had fallen into absolute silence!
Complete silence!
Not a sound could be heard, not a movement stirred!
