'What... realm is this?'
Ling'e's mind returned from her enlightenment, and she carefully sensed the many changes in her Primordial Spirit and Dao body.
Self-examination and internal scan were the first things a professional Qi Refiner had to do after emerging from seclusion.
Ling'e looked inward at herself:
Her mind platform was ethereal and light, her immortal power like mountain springs and flowing streams, her Dao charm Purity, Stillness, and Non-Action, yet carrying a trace of playfulness...
The tiny Primordial Spirit in a little immortal dress sat meditating with a solemn expression. Every part of her Immortal Body was connected to her Primordial Spirit with incomparable closeness. This Dao body had reached a state of pure clarity without blemish, ethereal and dreamlike.
Heavenly Immortal Realm!
A few ripples arose in Ling'e's heart. She had actually reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm!
This!
There was nothing much to be surprised about. After all, Senior Brother had guided her all along; these things should all have been within his arrangements.
At this thought, Ling'e felt a little resentful.
She always had the feeling that Senior Brother had arranged her entire life for her...
A True Immortal's lifespan was merely a "cycle," while the Heavenly Immortal Realm's lifespan could last one "epoch."
—In the Primordial Wilderness, an epoch-cycle had two meanings. By the laws of the Heavenly Dao, one epoch was one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years. An epoch was divided into twelve cycles, each cycle lasting ten thousand eight hundred years.
By rights, an epoch-cycle should have been the length of an "epoch times a cycle," but in most cases, when one spoke of an epoch-cycle, one meant the measure of an "epoch."
In other words, even if she could never break through again, she could still remain by Senior Brother's side
