Chapter 1064 - 151: Breaking Three Realms, Celestial Immortal Perfection!
Whoosh!
In the Celestial Destiny World, unaware that someone outside was plotting against Sword Casting Manor’s Ning Zheng, he was sitting cross-legged, entering an enlightenment mode.
The last three trials were the trials of the origins.
Soul, Body, Fate.
They were also the hardest to break through, the most mysterious roots of life.
In seclusion, under the blessing of "Strong Luck," Ning Zheng achieved enlightenment, dreaming through the heavens, his powerful and super-calculating immortal consciousness spreading, making three long and realistic dreams in his dormant subconscious.
Immortals with strong consciousness rarely dream, and when they do, it’s a real dream, an enlightenment dream.
In the first dream, Ning Zheng dreamed that he did not use his Dharma Aspect to attack the marketplace but audaciously used his physical body to loot marketplace after marketplace.
The outcome was disastrous.
The combat of the Refining Cauldron Immortal Venerate accidentally affected him, and in the dream, it wasn’t his Dharma Aspect that perished, but his physical body.
This dream could be described as what he thought about during the day, he dreamed about at night.
His vast consciousness constructed a potentially real scenario.
But since he wasn’t deliberately targeted, the aftermath of the Immortal Venerate’s battle merely shook his body to death, and his consciousness turned into a shadowy crocodile and fled.
Only a fragment of Ning Zheng’s soul remained, injured by the Path of Law, unable to revive his body even with the Nine-State Cycle’s recovery system.
He could only become a wandering soul floating in the Immortal Realm.
As a wandering soul, he roamed across the Immortal Realm, experiencing the journey of life as a soul.
Perhaps he was thinking day and night; in his dream, he was a guest in True Immortal Momei’s Treasure Lotus Lamp and was roasted inside the Human Emperor Banner.
Time after time, he circulated among various Great Powers, and eventually, gradually became the main soul in the banner, constantly growing stronger, eventually becoming the number one Soul Banner War General under an Immortal Venerate, who said: "This banner is fated with me!"
After tens of thousands of years like this, Ning Zheng successfully broke through this trial.
Overcoming the soul trial, Ning Zheng felt his soul also transforming into law, containing threads of soul rules from the void, moving towards some form of law-based life. The Immortal Venerate rejoiced: "This banner soul has such cunning insight!"
Ning Zheng woke from this terrifying nightmare in a cold sweat.
As for the second trial, it was the body trial; Ning Zheng also had a dream, constantly honing and refining, using various methods to self-destruct, to bathe in the sun, and to seek out attacks from True Immortals.
In the dream, he endured through tens of thousands of years, even going to the unique sacrifices of various worlds, refining his body, fighting for the Immortal Fate of mortals, shouting: "This sacrificial fate is fated with me," and drenched in rain, he would tear others’ umbrellas, constantly fighting for sacrificial fate in one world after another, evolving his body’s structure.
Finally, he achieved enlightenment and passed this body trial.
As for Fate, cultivating one’s destiny was the most difficult.
In the dream, Ning Zheng transformed into a Daoist, constantly divining, wandering through many worlds.
But Fate is the most difficult of the Three Major Origins to cultivate.
Furthermore, he cultivated the cycle of the three origins, establishing the last puzzle piece of the cycle is dozens of times more difficult than the celestial immortals of other systematic civilizations.
The stronger the system, the harder it is to break through.
He struggled without enlightenment, gradually falling into obsession, becoming mad, even self-mutilating to cut off his own body and soul.
He made himself as weak as a mortal, cultivating solely his destiny energy.
He walked through the worlds with a weak body, easily put to death by even a bear or a wolf.
But disguising himself as a weak scholar, with luck he never encountered bears or wolves.
Passing through the wolf pack’s territory, fortunately, the wolves migrated; encountering bears, a kind hunter happened to kill the bear.
A thousand years passed.
The entire world spoke of a myth, a lucky scholar who never cultivated but survived life-threatening situations everywhere, even entering the death secret realms of cultivators as if walking on flat ground.
Ning Zheng’s luck grew as a rainbow, gradually learning various ingenious methods. Even encountering malicious Immortals, he could use divination techniques to predict them, poisoning them, making them suddenly go fire and demonic.
He was a mortal that a single arrow could kill, yet he began to traverse worlds.
With a thought, he unintentionally stepped into space turbulence, venturing to other worlds.
Walking into the mortal streets, entering the forbidden zones of immortals, various coincidences always kept him safe, as if the child of the Heavenly Dao.
Finally, one day, he fully achieved enlightenment.
A loud, clear voice resounded through heaven and earth, a vast auspicious aura enveloping him:
"Three cultivation of soul, fate, body, only now do I realize my true self!"
At this moment, his weak soul and body restored themselves with extreme luck, breaking and establishing anew, forming a cycle among the three.
In reality, in the Celestial Destiny World.
Crack!
Ning Zheng’s internal cycle rolled and surged.
Suddenly opening his eyes, a lightning flashed through his pupils, as if countless oceans were swirling, cycling, his eyes resembling a world reopening heaven and earth.
Inside him, the Five Elements Cycle, the Yin Yang Cycle, converged at the Seven Skillful Exquisite Heart.
Three Flowers on the Top cycled.
A cycle up and down, forming a grand ten-cycle.
"Celestial Immortal Great Perfection."
Ning Zheng smiled: "Finally considered a small high-level figure in the Immortal Realm."
In the Immortal Realm, as long as you have money, after becoming Immortal, you can basically enter the Celestial Immortal First Realm.
Even if you have no money, as a Loose Cultivator, as long as you are undying, with a long lifespan working 996 for tens of thousands of years, you can also save enough for Human Immortal Tenth Layer to break through to Celestial Immortal First Layer.
Yet True Immortals are the real high-levels of the Immortal Realm, the powerful class that speaks with authority!
Ning Zheng, feeling the power within him, suddenly marveled:
"What immense difficulty, what immense intensity."
"Ten-body cycle, Flawless System, I’m probably a hundred times harder to kill than typical Deficient Celestial Immortals!"
How can one kill an Immortal?
Immortals cultivate Laws.
Within their bodies are ten sources of Laws; when others attack these ten vital points, Tao injuries are formed.
These ten vital points are equivalent to a mortal cultivator’s head, limbs, four viscera, and one heart.
And Ning Zheng?
He discovered that after attacking his own ten Laws to establish a cycle, breaking one Law source,
the other attributes would flow over, re-circulate, forming an undying nature.
This is equivalent to Nine-State cultivators, after becoming Immortal, also having the advantages from their mortal period in the Nine-State.
This undying nature confers a tremendous advantage in the Immortal Realm!
This cycle allows injuries to recover quickly, unafraid of Tao injuries.
Ning Zheng fell into contemplation:
"I’ve heard those Immortal Venerates suffered Tao injuries... If I became an Immortal Venerate, I probably wouldn’t be affected by those injuries, a cycle and it would be nothing."
"This is the advantage, our undying nature is quite extreme even after becoming Immortal."
"This painter who suppressed mortal civilization for fifteen million years, truly becomes exaggerated after becoming Immortal."
He sighed inwardly.
I must say, mooching off the painter is truly satisfying.
Thankfully, I crossed over to the Nine-State, riding on the civilization crystallization of the painter to rise to prominence.
...
...
Sword Casting Manor.
Ning Zheng returned to the steward’s room.
"During my disappearance these days, has anything happened outside?"
Ning Zheng asked.
Jiucai Rong handed over a report: "Master, the recent major events are all here."
Disappear for five days, equivalent to closing off for five hundred years...
In this critical, turbulent moment of life and death, it’s a bit long, but reaching Celestial Immortal Great Perfection was worth it.
However, he was not conceited; with the Stream Speed Cave Mansion, he could break through in five days, and some might have a chance too.
Just perhaps not as fast as himself.
But that Xin Xichen guy, spinning a Firewood, likely wouldn’t be slow either.
This essentially is Enlightenment, the realization from wandering the heavens...
Ning Zheng lacked the experience, making breakthrough that difficult.
This batch like Xin Xichen had wandered for countless ten thousand years, their Enlightenment experience was sufficient.
Old mortals like them, older than True Immortal Momei and with such low Realm, can be said to be a unique product of the Nine-State.
Building from a solid foundation, it’s not impossible.
"Have any True Immortals been online recently?" Ning Zheng asked.
"Some are prepared to go online, but very few, so we simply didn’t let them log in."
Jiucai Rong explained: "We’re preparing to open the entire No. 2 Chongshan Town."
"The two Celestial Destiny Villages can alternate logging in, considered as two bases."
"The moment it opens, we will give them a big surprise! Launch the opening event!"
Honestly, these days have passed and it’s not enough to calm the disturbances of the elites.
The blacksmiths are busy themselves, True Immortal Momei and others are busy tallying their gains.
Everyone wants to digest a wave of profits first, who would log into the Illusion Realm?
It’s not only Ning Zheng’s Illusion Realm that was desolate, other black market Illusion Realms were hardly any better.
Having grabbed the resources, who would go to the black market for resources in the short term?
Of course.
Some True Immortals indeed had their mountain gates attacked by some despicable masked people.
House broken, sects destroyed, they are even worse off, how could they have the mind to log into the Illusion Realm?
Ning Zheng thought about it: "This batch of True Immortals who lost their families is actually not bad, find a way to recruit them here."
Jiucai Rong also laughed:
"We have the same idea, their families are gone, they surely want revenge, want to rise again, and our place is perfect to lure them into becoming professional Heaven’s Chosen to send out for us."
"They themselves surely want the world to taste their pain, also want to become Heaven’s Chosen, joining us in fighting bosses, demolishing mountain gates to avenge."
Ning Zheng suddenly said: "If that’s the case, won’t our Heaven’s Chosen army finally debut in the Immortal Realm, unafraid of being caught by Immortal Venerates?"
"Unafraid." Jiucai Rong said.
"Why not afraid?" Ning Zheng asked.
"Because we are not afraid." Jiucai Rong said with a righteous face: "Even if the Manor Master stands against the world, we will still..."
Ning Zheng’s face darkened instantly.
Jiucai Rong immediately flattered: "Based on our analysis, the Immortal Venerates will not discover us."
