["Someone in this realm practiced the Cultivation System of the [Supreme True Realm]!"]
[That was the only answer.]
[And according to what the being assimilating the [Longevity Realm] had said earlier, one of Jade Pool's Great Emperors through the ages had devised this plan.]
[Why?]
[You did not know the reason, but you had roughly guessed the process:]
[The Great Emperors of this realm fundamentally lacked the support of a rank, so they could not count as being in the [Qi Refining Realm] or [Foundation Establishment Realm] of the [Supreme True Realm]. At most, they were equivalent to the Embryonic Breath Realm.]
[To practice the Cultivation System of the [Supreme True Realm], then, they had to break through from the Embryonic Breath Realm.]
[That was the purpose of the [Heaven and Earth Wonders]—no, they should be called the immortal divine herbs of the [Longevity Realm].]
[And upon breaking through from the Embryonic Breath Realm to [Heavenly Extreme Qi Refining], their lifespans naturally increased. That was why it was also called living another lifetime, though fundamentally, it was merely a breakthrough in cultivation.]
[In an instant, all your earlier doubts about this realm's immortal divine herbs were resolved.]
[Through your "other self," you looked into the depths of the [Longevity Realm]'s "heaven and earth":]
["Senior, if that is what you mean, I still have questions. Do all the Great Emperors who attain the Dao now rely on a half-finished fruit position like the [Mark of the Heavenly Heart]?"]
["Then how did those Great Emperors come into being before the [Mark of the Heavenly Heart] was created?"]
[Indeed, this question puzzled you as well.]
[In the present [Longevity Realm], leaving everything else aside, those like the [Heavenly Emperor] relied entirely on a half-finished fruit position like the [Mark of the Heavenly Heart].
