The Great Secret of Cultivating Gods 18: From Xue Xue's Self-Destruction at the Beginning of Heaven and Earth to Discussing Immortal Realm Immortals (Heavenly Dao Xiao Hua)

In "Light Escape: Dawn Rain Continent," Xiao Hua, at the early Golden Core stage, was pursued by two Nascent Soul cultivators. Xue Xue, a prophet with great predictive abilities, told Xiao Hua to flee into the depths of the ocean. Tragically, Xue Xue and Xiao Hua's master self-destructed, leaving Xue Xue as the first soul to enter Xiao Hua's mind-space. This event caused Xiao Hua's mind-space to split into Yin and Yang, mirroring the primordial creation of heaven and earth.

Xue Xue's self-sacrifice greatly angered many of her fans, such as "Why Must You Be So Stubborn," who remained fixated on this event. However, Xue Xue's self-sacrifice and Zhang Xiaohua's later renaming to Xiao Hua in the second part were long-planned foreshadowing by the author. The author had hinted at Xue Xue's self-sacrifice multiple times, making it a logical conclusion, though perhaps unexpected for some readers. Of course, these are extraneous details and irrelevant to this text, so we will not elaborate further. This text will focus on the Yin and Yang duality of Xiao Hua's mind-space and discuss the immortals in the Immortal Realm.

Xiao Hua mentioned "Little Huang, Little Hei," "Little Lei," "Daisy," and others, all of whom were once in the space during its "Yin and Yang division, the genesis of heaven and earth." Their future achievements are immeasurable. By analogy, the Immortal Realm to which Xiao Hua ascends will surely have a type of immortal, let's tentatively call them "Primordial Remnants." This group of immortals was born at the beginning of heaven and earth. They possess extraordinary power. Whether they ascended to the God Realm or exist in a forgotten corner of the Immortal Realm, the author believes they will be revealed in the middle to late stages of the Immortal Realm narrative.

I. Classification of Middle and Lower-Tier Immortals in the Immortal Realm

1. Conventional Classification: Ascended Immortals, Native Immortals, Smuggled Immortals

a. Ascended Immortals are those who ascend from the lower realms through heavenly tribulations. Lower-tier immortals must endure the Immortal Realm's black qi killing, while higher-tier immortals must undergo the black qi killing and white light killing. Therefore, Ascended Immortals are incredibly powerful. They constitute 0.5% of the immortal population in the Immortal Realm.

b. Native Immortals are descendants of the Immortal Realm. Those who cannot cultivate are mortals, while those who can cultivate and form immortal marks are immortals. They constitute over 95% of the immortal population in the Immortal Realm.

c. Smuggled Immortals are those who enter the Immortal Realm through unorthodox channels, such as the Feathered Immortal organization, like Chu Yu. Others enter through selection processes, like Xu Zhi, who was selected from Earth's only cultivator. Immortals who enter the Immortal Realm through these unorthodox means are often less powerful, unable to reach the Dust Immortal realm. For example, Xu Zhi was only at the Core Formation stage upon entering the Immortal Realm. These immortals often enter the star domains below the Immortal Realm first to increase their strength before entering the Immortal Realm itself.

2. Immortal Mark Classification: Immortal marks are similar to spiritual roots in the cultivation world. They are a way for certain gods in the God Realm to gather faith power.

a. Those without immortal marks are Dust Immortals. They cannot be ranked among the immortals and are the lowest-tier immortals in the Immortal Realm.

b. Immortals with immortal marks are classified from low to high: Human Mark, Earth Mark, Heaven Mark, Yellow Mark, Profound Mark, and Starry Sky Immortal Mark (Xiao Hua's is the Supreme Immortal Mark of Starry Sky Immortal Mark). The quality of immortal marks is further divided into: Void Mark, Illusion Mark, Shadow Mark, Bright Mark, and Solid Mark.

3. Realm Classification (Dao Cultivators and Confucian Cultivators)

a. (Dao Cultivators) Lower-tier immortals primarily cultivate using immortal spiritual energy, also known as Qi Immortals. From highest to lowest, they are: Spirit Transformation Immortal, Yuan Gathering Immortal, Two Qi Immortal, Five Elements Immortal, Derivation Immortal, and Leaking Immortal.

b. (Dao Cultivators) Higher-tier immortals primarily cultivate using immortal spiritual light, also known as Light Immortals. From highest to lowest, they are: Demigod (Void God), Heavenly Venerate (Ancient Great Power), Immortal Venerate-level Hunyuan Immortal, Hunyuan Immortal, Grand Unity Immortal, Great Principle Immortal, Nine Palaces Immortal, Golden Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and True Immortal (Xu Zhi consumed a Holy Lotus Seed).

II. Classification of High-Tier or Top-Tier Immortals in the Immortal Realm

It is predicted that there will be three types of high-tier or top-tier immortals in the Immortal Realm.

1. The Three Senior and Junior Brothers of Mo Banshan and their Master

Among the three senior and junior brothers of Mo Banshan, the eldest brother has not yet appeared. It is predicted that his cultivation level is that of a "Void God" in the God Realm. When he detected a mutated female immortal from a Zhenyu Bright Stone, he did not even take her Heavenly Venerate cultivation seriously, indicating his immense power. The strength of Mo Banshan's master can naturally be inferred.

2. The Force Behind the Purple Gold Ship

The force behind the Purple Gold Ship should be ancient True Immortals. Since the little girl could activate a top-grade immortal artifact from a very young age, and they are not in the Immortal Realm, it implies the existence of other immortal realms. Let's tentatively call them ancient True Immortals. They have become legends. They even wanted to silence Xiao Hua to prevent him from leaking information, indicating that the force they offended is the force behind Mo Banshan. The object of their contention is likely the foundation of the Immortal Realm or faith power. They are the defeated party.

3. Primordial Remnants

Primordial Remnants are merely a guess based on the speculation of the Yin and Yang duality and the initial separation of heaven and earth in Xiao Hua's mind-space. These Primordial Remnants might become a certain opportunity for Xiao Hua, or pose a great life-or-death crisis. In any case, their appearance is expected in the middle to late stages. Based on the author's logic in the previous installments of the cultivation series, for Xiao Hua to achieve a higher cultivation level than immortals of the same realm, without the advantage of time, it can only be through opportunities – such as the Heavenly Prison, the Primordial Continent, the Star Moon Palace, and so on. It is believed that the author will also lay out the Immortal Realm in a similar fashion.
