"That really is..."
The Primordial World is so vast that Li Xingkong can think of, others can naturally think of as well.
"Then, what if I enter the path based on my own concept? What if I don't cultivate anything else, but cultivate my true self? Concepts themselves are unique, so there can't possibly be another me in the world, right?"
Is there a completely independent individual in the world? Yes.
Each cultivator is an independent individual, naturally possessing uniqueness.
"Of course, this idea already touches upon the current classification of immortals."
Although the system hasn't reached that level yet, the information it possesses still mentions it.
"In ancient times, those who became immortals were few and far between. There weren't many immortals, so naturally, there weren't many detailed classifications. Everyone was still exploring the concept of immortals. But as the path to immortality became clearer, cultivators gained a deeper understanding of this originally lofty existence."
This led to a more detailed classification of immortals.
"To this day, the mainstream immortals are divided into three types."
The system emitted several orbs of light, revealing information about the immortals.
"The first type is the Dao Immortal, whose foundation for becoming an immortal is the Dao. This is a highly generalized and abstract way to achieve immortality, just like the Third Master's Dao of Intercepting Heaven, which is a Dao Immortal. Although the three ways to become immortals do not appear to be superior or inferior on the surface, from today's perspective, the Dao Immortal has an extremely high development ceiling and very few restrictions, making it the highest-grade way to become an immortal."
"The second type is the Spirit Immortal. 'Spirit' refers to the spirit of all things, encompassing all things in the world. Their path to immortality mostly involves belonging to a certain category of things in the world, such as the human Dao of Humanity of a lord, entering the Dao through humanity, and ruling over all the spiritual beings in the heavens. Although the upper limit for Spirit Immortal is not low, because they are limited by the Spirit Immortal they choose, they are still slightly inferior to Dao Immortal. If the spirit they belong to is physically destroyed, then the foundation for their immortality will directly dissipate."
"The third type Human Immortal, who attains enlightenment through self-cultivation. They are their own spiritual essence. If we're talking about freedom, then the Human Immortal is the most free, utterly alone and unrestrained. But strictly speaking, the achievements of the Human Immortal are incomparable to the other two types. It can only be said that although they are immortals, they are far inferior to the other two categories."
" Dao Immortal, Spirit Immortal, Human Immortal..."
Li Xingkong pondered. According to this, if he could choose to become Dao Immortal, then becoming Dao Immortal would naturally be the best. However, heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river; how could there possibly be any Dao left for him now? Just thinking about it made it seem unlikely.
What is Li Xingkong's specialty in the Dao?
Since breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Li Xingkong had already reviewed his cultivation and knowledge, and his current expertise lies in the field of space.
But how could anyone not become an immortal in the realm of space? It's simply impossible.
If we were to explore another path, Li Xingkong didn't believe he could come up with any unprecedented or unparalleled approach to study it.
According to the data retrieved by the system, let alone lofty concepts like birth, aging, illness, and death, even trivial concepts like eating, drinking, and excretion have been mastered by some individuals.
Finding a concept that no one has ever explored before is obviously quite difficult.
Then came Spirit Immortal.
Although these Spirit Immortal are slightly inferior to Dao Immortal, it still depends on the type of spiritual energy they choose.
Just as the master chose, Lingji was a person of talent, and with development, the concept of "person" has been expanded to a much larger scope.
Anyone who possesses intelligence can be considered a human being.
All practitioners and sentient beings fall into the human category, therefore the Great Master's Way will never dissipate.
And the competition among the Spirit Immortal is equally fierce.
Almost everything Li Xingkong —such as flowers, birds, fish, and insects—had an immortal figure residing within it.
If he continues down this path, Li Xingkong will have no choice but to create something new, as he just mentioned, to serve as his inspiration.
Finally, there are the Human Immortal.
This path has no restrictions. You only need to follow the steps and use your conceptualized self as a spiritual inspiration to enter the Dao, and you can become Human Immortal.
However, while this Human Immortal is less difficult to achieve compared to the previous two, his powers are also much weaker.
Moreover, while Human Immortal may seem to have relative freedom, upon closer examination, the price they pay is the relinquishment of "power."
The Dao that Dao Immortal wield remains constant throughout history and endures forever. The seeds controlled by Spirit Immortal are ever-changing and infinite in size.
Human Immortal can only control themselves and cannot gain any control over the outside world.
He could truly be considered a "commoner" among immortals.
"So, when it comes to space, is there really no other choice?"
After much thought, Li Xingkong that becoming an immortal wasn't something that could be achieved in isolation; one needed to have faith. He looked at the system, wondering if it had any information on this matter.
"Now you know the strength of our Jade Void Palace, right? Where else can you find information like this besides the Jade Void Palace?"
The system laughed.
"Wait a minute, I'll show you."
"First, there's the great god Pangu, who created the world with his power. The Power of Creation originated from him. Judging from your current state of cultivation, you are very similar to Pangu."
"Then there are the Four Symbols, which guard the four directions, encompassing the four cardinal directions. Whenever direction is involved, one cannot do without the constraints of the Four Symbols. Another example is Doumu Yuanjun, who governs the flow of space, and so on."
"Regarding the realm of space, countless immortals have already been included. Besides the Dao Immortal mentioned above, there are even some Spirit Immortal, such as the Ancestor Minghe rules the Blood River, Yuqiang who controls the North Sea, and the Lord of the Lord of Trayastrimsa Heaven who guards Mount Sumeru. They can all be considered Spirit Immortal related to space."
However, their so-called dominion extends far beyond space; it encompasses every aspect of the territory they govern.
This was the first time Li Xingkong had heard so many names, and it was also the first time he had known that the realm of space could be divided in this way.
The so-called Four Symbols, in particular, gave Li Xingkong a feeling of utter astonishment.
How come there are four Dao Immortal existing in the world in the four directions of east, west, south, and north?
"Then... space jump?"
Li Xingkong, trying to recall how he had used the space.
"I've got it! Although this master is not in space, the path of spatial leaping has already been taken. Taiyi Heavenly Venerable Who Saves from Suffering Great One Who Saves from Suffering) can save you by chanting his name. The Tianzun wields the power of spatial leaping and travels between the vast worlds day and night. He can be considered a first-rate immortal."
"That portal..."
The door Shentu and Yulei are in charge of the beginning and end of the teleportation portal.
"What about a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru?"
"And that's even more, as numerous as a disorganized Wen Yi filled with water. The Sun and Moon in the Gourd of Hu Gong, the universe in Zhen Yuanzi's Heaven and Earth in the Sleeve, the world in Chi Songzi's World in the Palm, the world in Zhunti's One Flower, One World..."
The seemingly simple technique of measuring Sumeru from a mustard seed has been elevated to an extremely high level.
