True Immortal transcend mortal form, shed their human shape, and transform into immortal beings, their thoughts aligning with the secrets of heaven.
Every gesture and movement conforms to the Great Way, thus losing the fundamental nature of "humanity".
Having attained the status of an immortal, they are therefore called True Immortal.
As for the Human Immortal, their goal is to rediscover the true nature of humanity.
"The great principles of the world are sometimes truly silent."
"Cultivators dedicate their entire lives to attaining the Great Dao and transforming into True Immortal."
"Along this journey, in pursuit of immortality, they have lost all humanity."
"But if one wishes to overcome this Immortal Tribulation, one must rediscover humanity."
Cultivation... is difficult indeed...
In the Falling Firmament World, Lu Li's true form floated beneath the celestial canopy.
My feelings are complicated.
Even he was unsure about whether he could successfully pass the Human Immortal Tribulation.
Although this True Immortal was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the immortal Pang.
However, since his ascension, Lu Li's temperament has undergone many changes without him even realizing it.
Whether he can overcome this Human Immortal Tribulation is truly uncertain.
"Heaven and earth give birth to man; the way of man lies in relinquishing and returning."
"The Tribulation of Human Immortal is the most unique among all cultivation tribulations."
"This calamity is neither a bolt of lightning from the sky, nor an attack from external demons, but a calamity of self-examination."
"Where did this body come from? Where is this heart going? Have the seven emotions and six desires truly been severed? Have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness been completely forgotten?"
"Whether the answer is true or false depends on the human heart; any deviation will inevitably lead to death and the destruction of one's path."
"To govern one's Dao heart with one's own heart, and to align one's human desires with the principles of Heaven, is the true path to Human Immortal."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Li no longer hesitated.
Outside the boundary, Ye Chenfeng and the others were piloting their magic boat towards the Profound Cavern Immortal Sect.
Several years will pass, which should be enough time for the accelerated process within the Falling Firmament to be completed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he could just Tribulation Transcendence. With this in mind, Lu Li looked up at the sky.
" Falling Firmament, seal my memories and wisdom. No one shall disturb me during my Tribulation Transcendence."
"If I fail to trigger the Human Immortal Tribulation and immortals in my lifetime, thus protecting my true spirit, may I live another lifetime."
"Until the calamity occurs."
"If I am still not out of this calamity after all the evolution has ended, then use your will to guide and summon me."
Upon hearing Lu Li's voice, Falling Firmament knew that the situation was urgent.
Respond quickly.
Upon seeing this, Lu Li closed his eyes slightly.
The Ninth-Turn True Immortal's Law Power was completely sealed.
Even the immortal soul and the wisdom of the deceased were completely hidden and concealed under the seal of the Falling Firmament Sky's will.
As the memories in my mind gradually fade away.
Lu Li was completely lifeless.
A moment later, a wisp of immortal soul power, imbued with his will, slowly rose.
Under Falling Firmament's control, it quietly disappeared into a distant world.
Falling Firmament Realm.
At some point, people suddenly learned that their world was called the Falling Firmament Realm.
Yet, this name seems to have always existed.
In this world, "Falling Firmament" signifies the heavens...
Wow! Ahhh!!
A baby's cry pierced the morning mist in Lu Family Village.
Inside a house with mud walls and a thatched roof.
The midwife held the baby, her expression shifting from grave to delight.
"He's alive! He's crying! The child is alive!"
The midwife handed the baby to the woman on the bed.
The woman was pale, but she took the child's hand steadily and held him close to her chest.
The baby's crying subsided as soon as it touched its mother's body temperature.
The man outside rushed in, knelt before the bed, and looked at it again and again. His lips trembled for a long time, and he could only manage to utter a single word.
"Let's call him Lu Sheng."
The woman nodded.
"A good name, a life that shouldn't have existed, but God sent it back to her."
The midwife tidied up the items in her hands, " Lu Sheng, Lu Sheng, live again."
Lu Sheng learned to walk at the age of three, a whole year later than the other children in the village.
When he was five years old, his mother gave birth to a younger sister.
With an extra person in the family, food supplies are a bit tight.
His father had to leave home before dawn to hunt for food and didn't return until it was completely dark.
They always carried a hoe or firewood on their shoulders.
Lu Sheng didn't know what hardship was. He only remembered that in winter, the four of them squeezed into one bed. His father's feet were as cold as stones, and his mother would scold him. After scolding him, she would put her own feet on his to warm them up.
At the age of seven, the village elder opened a primary school for children.
The gentleman's surname is Sun. It is said that he went to the city when he was young, was literate, and even met a real immortal master.
The village pooled together some grain for him in exchange for teaching the children to read.
In the first lesson, Teacher Sun did not teach any characters.
He moved a bench and sat under the old locust tree at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Seven or eight children squatted in a row, looking up at him.
Before learning to read and write, first memorize this sentence.
Elder Teacher Sun raised his finger and pointed to the sky.
"There are gods three feet above your head."
"Heaven and earth possess spirit; the four seasons never cease; wind, rain, thunder, and lightning are all not without cause."
"No matter where you go in the future, or what you do for a living, never forget this."
The children repeated it after them.
Lu Sheng also read it.
After I finished reading it, my chest inexplicably skipped a beat.
It was as if something was touched by those words, then quickly sank back down and disappeared.
He scratched his head, not thinking much of it.
In the autumn of his twelfth year, Lu Sheng saw the immortal master for the first time.
Two streaks of light swept across the village, as fast as arrows, and disappeared behind the northern ridge in the blink of an eye.
The villagers all looked up; some bowed, some sighed, and some were speechless with envy.
Lu Sheng stood at the gate of his own yard, still holding half a corncob in his hand, looking up at the direction where the two beams of light disappeared.
His dad came over and patted him on the back of the head. "What are you looking at?"
"Father, can immortal masters live a very long time?"
"Who knows? He's a celestial master, and I'm just a farmer."
His father took the corncob from his hand. "Thin the corn; we're going to the market tomorrow."
Lu Sheng lowered his head, pressing the shadow of that light deep into the heart.
At fifteen, Lu Sheng officially began working in the fields.
He wasn't tall, but he was sturdy, and his strength was about the same as his father's when he was young.
Spring plowing and autumn harvest, carrying water and manure, day after day, the calluses on their hands would break and grow back.
He occasionally overheard people returning from the market talking about things in distant towns.
They say there's a celestial sect over there accepting disciples, and some people have ascended to heaven in a single step.
At the age of twenty, through a matchmaker, Lu Sheng married Xiuhe from the next courtyard.
Xiuhe was two years younger than him. She spoke softly, but worked efficiently, transplanting rice seedlings faster than Lu Sheng.
The wedding day was simple; they borrowed two tables from their neighbor and treated the villagers to a hearty meal.
That night, Lu Sheng sat on the edge of his newly made bed, feeling awkward and unsure of what to do with his hands.
Xiuhe laughed at him, "You're usually quite capable in the fields, how come you're like a wooden stake now?"
Lu Sheng blushed, scratched his head, and said, "I'm afraid you'll suffer with me in the future."
Xiuhe took off her headscarf, folded it neatly, and said, "Farmers, what job isn't hard? It's just about toiling in the fields for a living, we'll all suffer together."
Xiuhe spoke, she blew out the lamp.
The following spring, she gave birth to a son...
