Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

168: Chapter 168 Our Great Love Alliance members have something to look forward to again!Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

At the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven, today’s Mount Buzhou was completely different from the past.

The vast platform at the mountain peak was densely packed with people.

There were Disciples and Elders of the Taiyi Dao Sect, and members of the Heaven and Earth as One Great Love Alliance.

No one was clamoring, and no one was moving about.

Everyone was waiting in silence.

Waiting for the master of the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven, Longevity Dao Lord, to come and preach the Dao.

At the very head of the peak sat a prayer mat.

That was Gu Yan’s position.

The prayer mat was empty, but no one dared to approach within three feet of it.

The sun gradually rose higher.

Gu Yan sat cross-legged in the Hall of Longevity and calculated the time.

It was about time.

With a thought, his figure vanished instantly.

In the next instant, he appeared at the peak of Mount Buzhou, steadily taking his seat upon the prayer mat.

The tens of thousands present rose in unison and bowed as they saw him appear: ”Greetings, Longevity Dao Lord!”

Gu Yan raised his hand slightly. ”Everyone, please be seated.”

Everyone sat back down, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Gu Yan looked around, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and spoke slowly:

”The last time I preached, I spoke of the journey from Qi Refining to the Tribulation Crossing Realm.”

”Today’s lecture will be about the Realms of the Immortal Dao.”

”But before discussing the Immortal Dao Realms, I must first speak on the classification of worlds.”

Everyone held their breath and focused, not daring to miss a single word.

”The Universe we inhabit is divided into Major Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Minor Thousand Worlds.”

”Minor Thousand Worlds are the Mortal Realms.”

”Spiritual Qi is thin, resources are limited, and the upper limit a Cultivator can reach is extremely low.”

”You all come from Nanming No. 73 Mortal Realm, so you should be well aware of this.”

”And there are three thousand such Mortal Realms.”

”The ’three thousand’ mentioned here is not a literal number, but a figurative one, meaning countless.”

”Middle Thousand Worlds include the Spirit Realm, Demon Realm, Monster Realm, Ghost Realm, and so on.”

”As for Major Thousand Worlds, there is only one, and that is the Immortal Realm.”

Upon hearing this, the eyes of many people flickered slightly.

Gu Yan continued, ”When a Cultivator in a Middle Thousand World reaches the Tribulation Crossing Realm and breaks through to the Human Immortal Realm, they must inevitably ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

”This is both a rule of the Heavenly Dao and because the Immortal Realm possesses Immortal Essence Qi.”

”Cultivation in the Immortal Dao Realms cannot be separated from this kind of Qi.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

”However, my Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven is different from a Middle Thousand World.”

”I have all kinds of Spiritual Qi here, and naturally, there is no lack of Immortal Essence Qi.”

”When you reach the Human Immortal Realm in the future, you need not fear being forced to ascend to the Immortal Realm.”

”Of course, if you wish to go to the Immortal Realm, I will not stop you.”

Gu Yan was telling the truth.

However, there was one thing he didn’t mention: whoever wanted to leave wouldn’t be able to escape the Great Memory Seal Technique package.

In the crowd, Ye Chen was sitting in the middle row. For some reason, he shuddered after hearing these words.

He shrunk his neck and thought to himself: he didn’t care if others wanted to go to the Immortal Realm, but he certainly didn’t.

The Immortal Realm?

Just by the sound of it, that place was even more dangerous than the Spirit Realm.

It was better to Cultivate peacefully in this Grotto-Heaven.

Gu Yan continued, ”Although there are many worlds, in the final analysis, they can all be categorized into the same world.”

He raised a finger, and a phantom of a massive ancient tree appeared in the void, its branches and leaves so lush they blotted out the sun.

”If we compare this great tree to the Heavenly Dao, then every leaf on the tree is a world.”

”The Mortal Realms are leaves, the Spirit Realm is a leaf, the Demon Realm is a leaf, and the Immortal Realm is also a leaf.”

”No matter which world one is in, they are all on this great tree, managed by the same Heavenly Dao.”

Everyone looked up at the phantom of the ancient tree, their hearts filled with shock.

Gu Yan waved his hand, and the phantom dispersed.

”Alright, now that the world classifications are explained, let us discuss the Immortal Dao Realms.”

Everyone’s spirits were lifted, and they all sat up straight.

”The Immortal Dao Realms, from lowest to highest, are Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal King, and Immortal Emperor. Each Realm is further divided into nine minor levels.”

”First, let’s talk about the Human Immortal.”

”A Human Immortal has shed their mortal coil; at this step, one is considered to have truly stepped across the threshold of the Immortal Dao.”

”However, a Human Immortal is still the lowest existence within the Immortal Dao. In the Immortal Realm, they have merely caught a glimpse of the path.”

”Above the Human Immortal is the Earth Immortal.”

”What is an Earth Immortal? An Earth Immortal takes root in the earth, and a blessed land is born from within.”

”Upon reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, one can find a place where Spiritual Veins converge and refine it into their own blessed land.”

”Within the blessed land, the Earth Immortal is the Dominator, capable of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth within the blessed land for their own use.”

”Above the Earth Immortal is the Heavenly Immortal.”

”A Heavenly Immortal achieves the unity of heaven and man, sensing the Heavenly Dao.”

”The power of a Heavenly Immortal’s Divine Ability is far beyond what an Earth Immortal can compare to.”

”The Hunyuan One Qi Dao Scripture I passed to you can allow one to Cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”

Hearing this, many people’s eyes flashed with an ardent light.

”Above the Heavenly Immortal is the True Immortal.”

”A True Immortal returns to their original nature and condenses the true self.”

”True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals may seem to be only one Realm apart, but in reality, they are worlds apart.”

”Above the True Immortal is the Profound Immortal.”

”The Profound Immortal is profound and mysterious, having thoroughly understood the Laws.”

”The power of Laws that a Profound Immortal can utilize carries immense might in every gesture.”

”Above the Profound Immortal is the Golden Immortal.”

”A Golden Immortal possesses an immortal golden nature, unshakeable through ten thousand tribulations.”

”Reaching the Golden Immortal Realm means becoming a truly immortal existence.”

”Even if heaven and earth collapse and the Universe returns to Chaos, a Golden Immortal can remain safe and sound within it.”

Hearing this, the crowd was already entranced.

Immortal.

Imperishable through ten thousand tribulations.

How many Cultivators dreamed of such a Realm?

”Above the Golden Immortal is the Immortal King.”

”An Immortal King follows the path of a king, governing a region.”

”At the Immortal King Realm, it is not just about personal strength, but the ability to radiate one’s power of Laws to influence a part of the world.”

”Within the Immortal King’s Domain, he is the king, the god, and the inviolable rule.”

”Most of the various forces in the Immortal Realm are overseen by an Immortal King.”

”Above the Immortal King is the Immortal Emperor.”

At this point, Gu Yan’s voice grew slightly heavier.

”An Immortal Emperor follows the path of an emperor, where all Laws return to one.”

”An Immortal Emperor is the pinnacle existence of the Immortal Realm; creating or destroying a world with a single thought is nothing to them.”

”At this Realm, the creation and destruction of a world is but a flick of the fingers.”

Silence reigned atop the mountain peak.

Everyone was processing the information Gu Yan had shared.

Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor.

Eight Realms, each more distant and unattainable than the last.

And the Longevity Dao Lord sitting on the prayer mat—what Realm was he at now?

No one knew, and no one dared to ask.

But many clever people speculated that this Dao Lord was probably at the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Otherwise, how could he have opened up the Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven?

The gazes with which everyone looked at Gu Yan held even more awe and respect.

Gu Yan felt calm as he watched the crowd’s reaction.

The Cultivation Technique he practiced was the Primordial Chaos Genesis Sutra of the Limitless Great Five Elements. This technique was incredibly profound and contained detailed descriptions of each Realm of the Immortal Dao.

”Having said all that, I will now speak of something closely related to you.”

Gu Yan raised his hand, and the phantom of a massive ancient tree appeared in the void once more.

Unlike the previous tree that represented the Heavenly Dao, this ancient tree was even more full of vitality.

”This tree is called the eternal myriad heavens world tree. it is a possession of this seat, and every leaf on this tree is a world.”

Looking at the ancient tree, everyone’s eyes were filled with shock.

”I said before that the world we are in can be compared to a great tree.”

”And my eternal myriad heavens world tree can jump out of our tree and go to another tree.”

”Those worlds have no connection or intersection with this heaven and earth. They have their own Heavenly Dao, their own rules, their own living beings, and their own civilizations. Every tree is an independent Universe.”

”And this tree can become a bridge connecting those worlds.”

Gu Yan’s voice was calm, but his words exploded in everyone’s ears like thunder.

”I am telling you this because I hope you will put more effort into your cultivation.”

”In the future, I will need people who can go to every leaf and take charge of those worlds.”

When these words were spoken, the mountain peak first went silent.

Then, from the direction where the Great Love Alliance members were, an uncontrollable wave of excitement erupted.

Taking charge of those worlds!

This... wasn’t this their old profession?

Back in the Nanming No. 73 Mortal Realm, this was exactly what they did!

In the past, under the leadership of Great Love Immortal Venerable Fang Yuan, they brought great love to the world, sought great harmony under heaven, and established an ideal kingdom where everyone was like a dragon.

That sense of achievement and mission was something they could never forget in their lives.

But ever since Nanming No. 73 Mortal Realm achieved great harmony under heaven, there hadn’t been much for them to do.

It was nothing more than maintaining order and handling daily affairs. Life was peaceful, but it lacked the passion of the old days.

After coming to this Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven, they had intended to retire peacefully and Cultivate immortality on the side.

They didn’t even mind if their cultivation progressed slowly, as long as life was comfortable.

But now, hearing Gu Yan’s words, the fire in their hearts was ignited once more.

Retire?

Retire for what!

There were still countless worlds waiting for them to save, to govern, and to realize the dream of Boundless Great Love!

That was what they truly wanted to do!

The members of the Great Love Alliance looked at each other, their eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

The Taiyi Dao Sect Disciples sitting in the front rows looked back, inwardly clicking their tongues.

Why did these people suddenly look like they’d been injected with chicken blood?

Gu Yan looked at the reactions of the Great Love Alliance members and nodded slightly.

A good reaction.

Gu Yan withdrew his gaze. ”Alright, today’s preaching ends here.”

He stood up and his figure vanished instantly.

Tens of thousands of people rose together and bowed.

”We respectfully see off the Longevity Dao Lord!”

At the mountain peak, the crowd did not disperse for a long time.

Some were still savoring the content of the lecture, while others had already begun discussing the mysteries of the Immortal Dao Realms with those beside them.

As for the members of the Great Love Alliance, they gathered in small groups, talking in low voices, their eyes shining with an eagerness to try.

They had something to strive for again.
