Immortal Destiny
Spiritual practice knows no time.
Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Five-colored rays of light shone through the Five Elements Hall, illuminating the entire Five Elements Island.
A figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the island, exuding the aura of Late Golden Core cultivator.
Fang Yu slowly concealed his aura, quickly becoming ordinary, just like a mortal.
"Finally advanced to the Late Golden Core!"
Fang Yu murmured, feeling quite emotional. Thirty years of arduous cultivation had only brought him to the Late Golden Core realm. Even within the Ascension Immortal Sect, where geniuses abound, he could be considered to have 'decent aptitude'.
The next step is to prepare for advancing to the Nascent Soul.
He stretched out his fingers and calculated carefully. After a long while, Fang Yu showed a thoughtful expression.
'I never expected something like this to happen. If we plan it out carefully, it might not be impossible.'
"We'll have to plan for the future carefully; there's no rush now. Let's go and celebrate properly first!"
In an instant, his figure transformed into five-colored light and headed towards the outer perimeter.
Islands swept past Fang Yu's feet, and soon he discovered traces of mortals. The further he went, the more mortals he found. The original islands were now covered with houses, and many richly dressed mortals appeared on some islands that still had the buildings of the Ascension Immortal Sect.
After Fang Yu the area, Fang Yu had already estimated the current number of mortals: twelve million.
Human development is indeed rapid. In just thirty years, the population has grown to such a large extent that the outer islands have been basically occupied, and even more fleets are now exploring the inner perimeter.
The vast lake, spanning tens of thousands of miles, is just a lake to cultivators, but to mortals, it is no different from the ocean, except that the water here is freshwater, not seawater.
With a thought flashing through his mind, Fang Yu fled towards the most bustling island and landed on the street.
The streets were lined with clothing shops, restaurants, inns, and so on, not much different from cities on land.
Fang Yu strolled around for a while, then stopped and entered a tavern, where he heard the sounds of storytelling:
"... With a single dive, the White Island Master plunged underwater, entered the cave abode, and found the Frost Soul Jade Ruyi..."
Fang Yu found an empty seat in the shop, ordered a pot of wine and some snacks to go with it, and listened to the storyteller recount how the owner of Giant Whale Island made his fortune.
These outer peaks were the residences of both menial and outer sect disciples. During the relocation, some items were inevitably left behind. These items were invaluable treasures to ordinary people. For example, the Cold Soul Jade Ruyi might be just a back scratcher in the hands of a menial disciple, but in the hands of an ordinary person, it would be an indestructible divine weapon.
There are also some body-strengthening Cultivation Method, even if they are just fragments, which would be unparalleled martial arts in the mortal world. Some low-level immortal Cultivation Method are also inevitably lost. If they fall into the hands of someone with Spirit Root, they can learn some tricks of them.
However, the Spiritual Qi here has dissipated, so no matter how much one practices, it is difficult to even begin to understand it; at most, one can only become a top-tier master.
'Yes, my Purple Mansion is lacking some destined individuals to test its environment, and these experts who have reached a dead end in the mortal realm are just what they need!'
Fang Yu thought to himself, Divine Thought spread out, covering the entire island. One after another, martial arts masters with physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people appeared before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
The City Lord's Mansion.
Bai Qianfan held his one-month-old grandson, his face full of affection, letting the little boy play with his gray beard.
The son and daughter-in-law, standing to the side, looked at their son with a mixture of joy and worry. They were happy that their son had won the city lord's favor, but worried that their son might offend this ruthless and highly skilled old man, thus implicating them.
Suddenly, Bai Qianfan's smile froze, and he stood frozen in place, his ears twitching unconsciously as if he were listening to something.
Then, a look of wild joy appeared on his face. "My destiny to become an immortal has arrived... my destiny to become an immortal has arrived..."
As he spoke, he put down his grandson, used his unparalleled lightness skill, and moved like the wind, leaping away from the distant courtyard and the city lord's mansion in a few bounds, heading towards the dock.
At this moment, a huge treasure ship was already docked beside the pier, but ordinary mortals seemed not to see it at all. Only martial arts masters who had come from all over could see it and board the treasure ship.
Fang Yu gently swirled the wine in his glass, slowly finished it, got up to pay the bill, and disappeared the moment he stepped out of the tavern.
When they appeared, they were already above the island, watching as martial arts masters with Spirit Root boarded the ship below.
After all the experts influenced by his Divine Thought had boarded the ship, the treasure ship set sail, heading towards the next island.
There are many islands along the edge of the lake, but Fang Yu is not in a hurry. He patrols the area and allows any martial arts masters who meet the criteria to board the boat.
Months later, after searching all the islands, he finally returned to Five Elements Island with a large ship.
However, the ship was directly sent into the Great Void, and then entered the Purple Mansion.
Once the large ship landed, the numerous martial artists inside seemed to awaken from a dream, disembarking one after another, and then looking at the unfamiliar world before them with confusion.
What place is this?
"A destiny of immortality, a destiny of immortality!"
"This must be where immortals live!"
"I heard the voice of an immortal!"
"..."
After a brief period of chaos, everyone quickly came to their senses and naturally elected Bai Qianfan, who was unparalleled in both prestige and martial prowess, as their leader to guide them in exploring this place where immortals reside.
Fang Yu sensed the lively martial arts masters within his Purple Mansion, who were beginning their wilderness survival training, and nodded slightly.
It appears that his Purple Mansion is indeed habitable for living beings.
So, the next step is to write a Cultivation Method that is most suitable for the Spiritual Qi environment of the Purple Mansion and the rules of the Heavenly Dao for these people, and see if they can enter the Dao, and what their specific cultivation results will be after entering the Dao.
Withdrawing his Divine Thought, Fang Yu sat down at the tea table, brewed a pot of tea, and with a wave of his hand, various Cultivation Method manuals appeared beside him.
These Cultivation Method include those that Dao of Qi Ingestion and those that Dao of Qi Refining.
What he needs to do now is to rewrite an introductory Cultivation Method based on these Cultivation Method, so that after cultivation, it can have the wonders of the Dao of Qi Ingestion, be suitable for the Dao of Qi Refining, and also fit his Purple Mansion.
He has some experience in editing Cultivation Method; he previously compiled a book called "The Precious Scroll of Essential Techniques for Crossing the World into Peace and Prosperity."
Although it is only a simplified version of the introductory Cultivation Method of the Dao of Qi Ingestion, it allows for a deeper understanding of the various lineages within the Dao of Qi Ingestion.
The Dao of Qi Ingestion Cultivation Method is wondrous, relying on the Heavenly Dao rules governed by the corresponding ' Golden Position '. Cultivating the Dao of Qi Ingestion Cultivation Method is actually cultivating the Heavenly Dao rules, and its Cultivation Method requires the recognition of the corresponding rules of the Golden Position; otherwise, it is impossible to advance.
He had already gained a deep understanding of this point through his cultivation of the Divine Ability ' Molten Edge Flow ' and ' Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze '.
Although he can improve the Dao Attainment required for certain Divine Ability in the Great Scarlet Heaven, he must return to the Dao of Qi Ingestion to advance. In other words, without the approval of the ' Golden Position ', it is impossible to advance.
In a sense, this is a form of authorization. Only cultivators who have received authorization can advance in cultivation. Cultivators who have not received authorization, no matter how high their Dao Attainment is, cannot establish Dao Foundation for the Dao and thus achieve Divine Ability.
Once one achieves Divine Ability, it is equivalent to forming a collection of the rules of heaven and earth within the cultivator himself. Therefore, the Divine Ability he has cultivated can also be effective in the Great Scarlet Heaven, which is also a cultivation world.
Now he wants to compile Cultivation Method to further confirm this point, and at the same time, he can gain a deeper understanding of the Divine Ability he has already mastered, and thus understand the rules of heaven and earth.
