Ascension.
It was nothing unfamiliar to Xu Xing, but to the vast majority of cultivators in the Great Profound Realm, it was a completely foreign concept.
Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul... then, after Dao Integration, Profound Penetration, Truth Insight, and even the "Immortal" realm above them.
As long as one followed the proper steps, there was always a chance of reaching it.
The cultivation system was complete, and the road ahead was still being opened. It was far from being completely cut off.
Xu Xing looked at Ning Ruo.
The multicolored light flowing through the passage fell upon her, lending her expression an inscrutable air.
"Those worlds have low ceilings. Very few even reach the level of Void Return, let alone the realm of 'Immortals.'" Xu Xing spoke slowly.
The power of a True Immortal was boundless. The two fellow cultivators who had once explored beyond the Starry Sky had not been gone long, but the region they covered was vast.
Yet the highest level of any world they encountered was no more than Void Return.
It seemed the Great Profound Realm truly stood at the very peak.
"One need not become an Immortal. A prodigy who rises above the rest of their world naturally possesses abilities far beyond the ordinary."
Even if they could not become an Immortal, they would still have a better chance than ordinary people of reaching Dao Integration.
"Wouldn't that be the same as our previous attempts?"
The Great Profound Realm did not recognize the Human Race that came from outside. They simply could not achieve Dao Integration.
That was the biggest problem.
"Just come with me, Brother Xu. Over the past thousand years, I've extrapolated countless possibilities. I've finally found one method that seems feasible."
A glow came from up ahead.
