Loose Immortals, True Immortals, Golden Immortals

At the entrance to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, atop River Pillow Peak.

"Huh? What new gadgets have those Mountain Folk come up with this time?"

As Lord Yanyao gazed at the Star Power descending from the sky, he could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within it.

Even across vast distances, the void and emptiness, so unlike ordinary primordial Yuan Qi, could still be clearly transmitted to all who observed this pillar of light. "Celestial Star Gods?"

Slowly standing up, Lord Yanyao's pupils began to split.

With the blessing of the [Foreknowledge of the Future] Divine Ability, Lord Yanyao seemed to see a Star Gods who had crossed time and space.

It had a human face and a bird's body, and its appearance was ferocious.

He was also wearing a long robe decorated with the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper Six Offices of the Southern Dipper.

Although it has not yet arrived from the distant future, its fierce aura has already made Lord Yanyao involuntarily frown.

"Another impolite guy."

"The Dao of Daluo is revered throughout all realms, while the Dao of Taiyi is cultivated solely by this body."

"Having already achieved the Taiyi realm in another world, how dare you cross over to seize the fortuitous opportunity of this world!?"

The roar that suddenly erupted startled the Star Gods.

When Chi turned around, he saw a giant arrow piercing through space and time, shooting towards him with lightning speed.

To be honest, as Gouchen Star Lord from another time and space, Chi has encountered other Dao Proving One in his own time.

However, the vast majority of those Dao Proving One do not possess such means of attacking across time and space.

Not only did it distort space, but even the concept of time seemed to cease to exist before this giant arrow.

Faced with this tactic of attacking the future from the past, Gouchen Star Lord roared with eyes wide with rage.

"Since the Celestial Star Gods have the special cases of Yuanjun, Houtu, and Ziwei, why can't I cross over to prove the ' Dao of Gouchen ' again!?" However, in the face of Gouchen Star Lord's roar, Lord Yanyao only sneered.

"You said yourself that you're an exception. Do you think you're special?"

"Besides, even if ' Gouchen ' were to cross realms and attain Dao Proving in the future, it would absolutely not be you!"

In the current Zhoutian Star System, only Primordial Sovereign Doumu, the creator, and Houtu, one of the Four Imperials, are the same beings in every time and space.

Besides, even the exceptionally talented Purple Tenuity Emperor failed to become the Purple Tenuity Star Lord in most timelines.

Of course, those Dao Proving One truly aspire to attain enlightenment will not remain within the Zhoutian Star God System; the Purple Tenuity Emperor is an exception.

For the vast majority of Dao Proving One, this is merely a shortcut to Dao Proving.

Once they understand the process and methods of Dao Proving, most of them will go on to attain enlightenment on their own unique Dao Path.

Only the Purple Tenuity Emperor, who Dao Proving as an emperor, wanted to become the true ruler of the Celestial Star Gods, which is why he kept circling within the Zhoutian Star God System.

To be honest, after learning about the "oddball" Purple Tenuity Emperor...

Lord Yanyao had no doubt that even if the other party broke out of the Celestial Star Gods system, he would still be able to prove a Dao Path similar to the [Dao of Emperors]. In comparison, the Gouchen Star Lord had crossed over from another realm seemed much more naive.

Damn it!

Faced with Lord Yanyao's fierce attack, Gouchen Star Lord could do was unfold his robe and use the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell technique to dodge the arrow. But one can dodge the first day, but not the fifteenth.

With his four arms outstretched, Lord Yanyao held a bow and arrow in one hand and formed hand seals to cast a spell with the other.

In an instant, another giant arrow came flying straight at him, this time leaving Gouchen Star Lord no room to react.

Boom!

The moment the giant arrow pierced his body, Gouchen Star Lord let out a wail.

This cross-realm Gouchen Star Lord was easily defeated by Lord Yanyao before he could even take on a physical form.

Even if the other party has already attained the position of Star Lord in another time and space, it would take several hundred years for them to recover.

Above the heavens, Gouchen Heavenly Palace.

"How many Gouchen Star Lord are there now?"

Looking down with a hint of helplessness, Yinglong's voice was deep and powerful.

Standing beside Yinglong, Lu Huaijin answered without even looking up.

"The seventy-third one is considered a rather capable Gouchen Star Lord."

"At the very least, he has come into harmony with the Dao and has fully mastered the ' Dao of Gouchen '."

"I have a slight suspicion that he might be Old Gu, who is currently in charge of the ' Star Power Convergence Project'."

While the emergence of the Zhoutian Star God System lowered the threshold for Dao Proving, it also lowered the level of those Dao Proving One.

Before the Zhoutian Star God System was established, cultivators at least possessed the ability to observe the Long River of Time and traverse space and time to qualify as Dao Proving One. However, after the Zhoutian Star System was created, many cultivators, despite attaining the Dao of Star Lords, could not even observe the Long River of Time. "Don't make such meaningless guesses; it can easily affect relationships between colleagues."

"The future holds countless possibilities. Even if the future Old Gu truly attains the Dao of Star Lords, it will have nothing to do with him now." Yinglong paused slightly at this point.

"Moreover, according to the Dao Ancestor's classification, those so-called Gouchen Star Lord can only be considered a group of ' Loose Immortal ' at best, not even ' True Immortal '."

Even this Gouchen Star Lord, who is suspected to be Old Gu, can only barely meet the standard of a "True Immortal".

Hearing Yinglong's words, Lu Huaijin finally managed to glance up at him.

"You adapted quite quickly."

"Whether it's Loose Immortal immortal, True Immortal, or even Golden Immortal, so what?"

Ultimately, these are merely standards set by the teacher to help the Grandmother Mountain God reaffirm the "Dao of Immortals," not some universally applicable classification of realms.

Lu Huaijin paused slightly at this point.

"A thousand people, a thousand faces; all beings have their own inherent nature..."

"How can there be a unified classification of realms for cultivators who are different in species, talents, souls, and even the methods they cultivate?" "When our teacher divided the realms into the Mortal Realm of Refining Essence into Qi, the immortal Immortal Realm of Refining Qi into Spirit Transformation, and the Dao Transformation Realm of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness according to the progress of cultivation, he only emphasized realms and cultivation levels."

"In terms of specific abilities and combat power, it depends more on the cultivator's own breadth and mastery of knowledge."

"To put it simply, if I had the ' Heaven-Overturning Seal ' in hand, do you think those so-called ' Dao Proving One ' could last a few rounds against me?" Yinglong smirked slightly and glared at Lu Huaijin with annoyance.

"I certainly wouldn't forget the 'hundred arts of cultivating immortality' emphasized by the Dao Ancestor."

"Law Technique, Divine Ability, Talisman Seal Script, Law Treasure, Formation, and even dao companion can greatly enhance a cultivator's survival and combat abilities." "But look beyond the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, how many cultivators can gather all these things?"

"To possess a cultivation method sufficient for Foundation Establishment is already a stroke of luck for the vast majority of cultivators."

"The methods of cultivation are merely the foundation. For an ordinary person to embark on the path of cultivation, even setting aside talent, perseverance, and resources, they must at least be literate, right?"

With a deep sigh, Yinglong, who had originally wanted to argue with Lu Huaijin, completely lost his composure.

"The Great Xia has been reforming for so long, and yet they haven't even unified the most basic common script. I really don't know what they're reforming for." (Monthly ticket, Lunwang/Female C recommendation ticket, Xinwang)
