Three days before the martial tournament began, Xu Zimo was also preparing for something.
Chaos had reached the peak of the Divine Meridian Realm long ago, yet had still not stepped onto the Immortal Path.
This also showed, from another angle, just how difficult it was to enter immortality.
Many people remained stuck at the Divine Meridian Realm their entire lives and ultimately never stepped in.
The greatest difference between the Divine Meridian Realm and entering immortality was that immortals and mortals were forever separated, and one's lifespan increased dramatically.
Most experts of the immortal path no longer needed to rely on the Dust Blood Coffin to sustain their lives.
Unless they were the sort who had lived far too long.
For humans to break through onto the Immortal Path, they had to open the ninth Meridian Gate, "Shenpuxu."
It was also commonly known as the Immortal Gate.
They erected a bridge between heaven and earth within their bodies, allowing them to reach the Other Shore directly.
The method for demonic beasts was roughly the same, except their Meridian Gates opened from the outside inward, making it far more difficult.
Moreover, because demonic beasts were generally stronger than humans at the same level, the qi and blood they needed for a breakthrough, as well as their comprehension of the Immortal Realm, were vastly more demanding than for humans.
Xu Zimo had recently been studying methods for demonic beasts to break through.
According to the books, aside from demonic beasts achieving a breakthrough through their own enlightenment, external items could also be used to stimulate and assist them.
One such pill was described in the book.
The Blood Devouring Immortal Elixir!
It fused the essence blood of the Ancestor Devouring Beast, Blood Desolation Grass, Heavenly Arrival Flower, and Immortal Breaking Soul.
