The Great Secret of Cultivating Gods 5: Disaster Star Xiao Hua Causes Trouble in the Immortal Realm, Why Are the Gods' Disciples Chasing Him

[Content Summary] Student Xiao is a great bringer of disaster, causing trouble in almost every world. True Person Xiao, on the other hand, is appointed in times of crisis, gaining countless merits and faith, and is able to condense the crystal lattice of the Primordial Divine Realm with mere mortal cultivation. Born on the Continent, he breaks the protective formation of the Chuánxiāng Sect, leading to great chaos in the martial world; crossing over to Xiǎoyǔ, spiritual energy mutates and lifespans dwindle; the Three Continents face the disappearance of the Jiǔzhōu Ding in the past and the extinction of the Divine Realm's mayflies in the future; in the Moon God Ruins, the Demon Realm runs rampant with blood sacrifices; on the Primordial Continent, the Heavenly Demon of Huàlè Tiān causes world destruction. Now, Xiao Hua has ascended to the Immortal Realm, and True Person Xiao needs to obtain the faith of Immortals in the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm will surely face a great crisis, and True Person Xiao is born for this time. This article discusses the Great Investiture of the Stars, the power of souls, the power of faith, immortal marks in the Immortal Realm, and other topics to discuss the foreshadowing and layout of the Immortal Realm by the Scholar.

I. The Remarkable Scholar is Once Again Laying the Groundwork for a Thousand Miles with Subtle Clues

Mòbān Mountain, the three divine master-disciple brothers. This passage absolutely cannot be taken lightly. It is the Scholar's layout for the Primordial Divine Realm, a layout that might be the greatest secret of the Immortal Realm, and a secret that involves becoming a god. I will illustrate this with the following points.

1. The extraordinary origins of the three master-disciple brothers of Mòbān Mountain

According to the settings for cultivating gods: Seven-colored and silver are Immortals; nine-colored and golden are Gods. Mòbān Mountain and his master-disciple brothers, who are golden humanoids, are all Gods, and they even have a master who ascended to the Divine Realm.

2. Mòbān Mountain is a divine artifact that monitors the Immortal Realm

When Xiao Hua was in the Reception Hall, just as his immortal mark was about to be formed, countless "Dao" characters of various forms appeared under the suppression of the Xingtian Immortal Artifact. Then, they randomly appeared on Mòbān Mountain, causing an anomaly. From the attendant's words, "Someone else has been added to the Immortal Class. Our Immortal Realm's fortune is prosperous," the word "again" indicates that anyone who inscribes an immortal mark and is added to the Immortal Class will trigger this place. This shows that the monitoring divine artifact of Mòbān Mountain monitors Immortals inscribing immortal marks.

3. Mòbān Mountain holds a great secret of the Immortal Realm

Xiao Hua caused changes in Mòbān Mountain's "Shocking Universe Bright Stone." The second senior brother speculated three possibilities: First, "A heavenly secret that affects the foundation of our Immortal Realm has appeared, disrupting the rules of the Shocking Universe Bright Stone." Second, "The fate of the disciples added to the Immortal Class is unusual, and the Shocking Universe Bright Stone cannot engrave their names." Third, "Dao gives birth to One... and One gives birth to all things." There was a female immortal who, like Xiao Hua, disrupted the Shocking Universe Bright Stone and has now grown into a Heavenly Venerable. The senior brother personally monitors her anomaly. All these things indicate that the Mòbān Mountain master-disciple brothers hold great secrets and a grand conspiracy. This grand conspiracy is definitely related to immortal marks, and Xiao Hua may have caused great trouble.

II. The Essence of Immortal Marks - A Means for Gods of the Divine Realm to Harvest the Power of Faith

Immortal marks are related to souls (for details, please refer to [Great Revelation of Cultivating Gods 4] Discussing the Power of Souls in the Outer Biography of Cultivating Gods). I personally believe that immortal marks for Immortals should be a means for the divine beings of Mòbān Mountain to harvest faith from the Immortal Realm. The reasons are as follows:

1. Immortal marks are a cultivation method similar to spiritual roots

Immortals in the Immortal Realm are divided into two types: those without immortal marks are Dust Immortals, who cannot be ranked in the Immortal Class, meaning they are mortals in the Immortal Realm; those with immortal marks have their immortal marks ranked from high to low as: Human Mark, Earth Mark, Heaven Mark, Yellow Mark, Profound Mark, Starry Sky Immortal Mark. Their quality is divided into: Void Mark, Illusion Mark, Shadow Mark, Bright Mark, Solid Mark. Comparing this to spiritual roots in the cultivation world, one can find similarities. The cultivation of immortal marks is similar to the cultivation of spiritual roots in the cultivation world.

2. Xiao Hua used spiritual root selection and cultivation to harvest countless faith powers from the Daoist sect.

After Xiao Hua removed the mysterious dark cloud from Wang Zhifei's mind, the Scholar wrote in the next chapter, "Spiritual Root Cultivation, Immense Merit." In fact, when Xiao Hua crossed over to the Yìlín Continent and created the method for selecting and cultivating spiritual roots, he harvested countless faith powers, causing the golden divine crystal behind Xiao Hua's head to grow. By extension, one can speculate that the cultivation method of immortal marks in the Immortal Realm is actually a means for a certain divine being in the Divine Realm to harvest faith power.

Since immortal marks in the Immortal Realm are a means for a certain divine being in the Divine Realm to harvest the faith power of Immortals, then the monitoring divine artifact of Mòbān Mountain is definitely a grand conspiracy. The three individuals monitoring here under the master's orders might be for a divination, a prophecy (Xiao Hua must harvest the faith power of Immortals to become an Origin God) - this prophecy is the shattering of the Dao Mirror and the annihilation of Dao inheritance. The master-disciple brothers of Mòbān Mountain are here to prevent this prophecy from happening. Therefore, when Xiao Hua inscribes his immortal mark, it is when he causes great trouble, because this is related to becoming a god.

III. Why Did the Great War of Investiture of the Gods Occur?

The origin of the Great War of Investiture of the Gods, in essence, stems from the method of becoming a god and the cultivation methods of the Primordial Divine Realm. Therefore, the so-called Great War of Investiture of the Stars is first a war to become a god, and then a war of investiture. The war to become a god is a battle between the great powers of the upper realms, such as the Immortal Realm, Dragon Domain, Demon Alliance, Demon Marsh, and Buddhist Kingdom, to become gods. The war of investiture is essentially a war of resources, a war of faith power. Because in the Scholar's setting for the Immortal Realm, Immortals also have lifespans. Just as Xu Zhi's Heavenly Man's Five Declines will also lead to death, becoming a god means greater power and longer lifespans.

1. The method of becoming a god

Gods are not cultivated; they are inherited. Gods cultivated through effort can only be called demigods or virtual gods. To cultivate into a god, to borrow Xu Zhi's words, one must grasp the power of the soul to be called a god. The power of faith is the manifestation of the power of the soul. This manifestation established a Buddhist sect that can contend with Dao cultivation. Cultivating the power of faith can lead to becoming a god. I believe that the great powers of the Immortal Realm, Dragon Domain, Demon Marsh, and Buddhist Kingdom all know that merits can lead to becoming a sage. This is the reason behind the Great Investiture of the Stars.

2. Cultivation methods of the Primordial Divine Realm

If the cultivation world cultivates spiritual energy, and the Immortal Realm cultivates spiritual light, then the Primordial Divine Realm cultivates fluctuations. These fluctuations are the essence of heaven and earth primordial energy, righteous energy, and even dragon energy. Therefore, To borrow the words of the great divine power Xuan Hong discussing the Dao in the Divine Realm, cultivation in the Divine Realm is to condense the divine personality and obtain the divine position. The so-called condensation of the divine personality, after generating the golden divine crystal, is the enlargement of the divine crystal. To enlarge the divine crystal requires the faith power of a certain cultivation method. After the divine personality is formed, one then obtains the divine position. Regarding crystalline divine personalities (please refer to Xiao Hua's Golden Silk Good Fruit on Luofeng Mountain, the Merit of Opening the Heavens and the Virtue of Enlightenment on the Primordial Continent, Xiao Hua's Divine Punishment in the Great Battle with Bei Xian'er, and Xuan Hong's discussion of the Dao in the Star-Moon Palace).

In summary, Mòbān Mountain in the outer heavens of the Immortal Realm is the Scholar's foreshadowing for the Divine Realm and the framework of the Immortal Realm. With this foreshadowing, pressure is placed on Xiao Hua's cultivation in the Immortal Realm. After all, many of human potential are forced out, and True Person Xiao is no exception.
