Mortal's journey to immortality

Chapter 1376 The Path to Ascension

Yin Shijiu not only understood the principle of the supremacy of cultivation, but also understood at a deeper level what Wang Lu wanted to express.

He agreed, "Brother Wang, what you mean is that those people have only passed the level of Great Perfection of Spiritual Transformation. They seem to have reached the half-step realm, but in fact, they are still an endless distance away from the half-step realm, right?"

Wang Lu nodded and smiled.

Yin Shijiu already understood the important speculation he wanted to express and convey.

Yin Shijiu continued, "It's like a word that awakens a person from his dream. It's a wake-up call for me. What is the upper realm? What characteristics does the upper realm have? What conditions must we meet to achieve it? It sounds like three questions, but in fact there is only one, and that is above the incarnation of the spirit."

"If our cultivation level only stays at the Spiritualization Stage, we will never be able to sense and reach the upper realm. However, reality has poured a bucket of cold water on us, leaving us cold-hearted. Where in the world can there be a cultivation method above the Spiritualization Stage? Isn't this just killing people?"

"However, we have overlooked an important common sense, that is, the half-step transformation to the spirit stage, which serves as a transition from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spirit stage. Imagine if there were no skills for the Spirit stage, would we be able to cultivate to the half-step transformation to the spirit stage? The answer is yes. It is only because of the existence of skills that we have not paid enough attention to the half-step transformation to the spirit stage, and have only skimmed over it."

“So, from this point on, even if there is no technique above the Spiritualization Stage in this world, we can still practice to the Half-Step Great Realm just like the Half-Step Spiritualization Stage from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Spiritualization Stage.”

"It's just that each great realm is so far apart, like a huge chasm. We all know that the distance between Half-step Divine Transformation and Divine Transformation is so great, so what about the great realm that is higher than Divine Transformation? Ha, it can only be that the distance between Half-step Great Realm and Great Realm is even farther than one can imagine."

"On the one hand, the Great Perfection of Spiritual Transformation is too far away from the Great Realm. Even if we have extraordinary talents, it is still out of reach to reach the other side. Time and life span simply do not allow it."

"On the other hand, since we already know the unreachable vastness of the Half-Step Great Realm and are faced with the problem of ascending to the impossible, the first thing to bear the brunt is how to find the way to ascend. Anyway, we have cultivated to a certain level, such as my cultivation level of the peak of the late stage of the Spiritualization or the Great Perfection of the Spiritualization, so why would we have the extra energy to settle down and cultivate properly?"

"So," Yin Shijiu glanced at Wang Lu, and seeing that he was listening attentively and calmly, his eyes could not help but show a clearness, and he said calmly, "So, everyone, in a desperate situation, abandoned the main thing and chased the trivialities all over the world to find a way to ascend. This approach is tantamount to seeking death, not only will it cause the cultivation to stagnate, but it will also lose the only chance of survival."

He shook his head and sighed, "Brother Wang's opinion is not only unique, but also very insightful. If you can't even touch the threshold of the upper realm, how can you find the way to the upper realm? Only when you cultivate to the ultimate realm of half a step, the road to heaven will vaguely and actively appear, instead of us randomly searching everywhere, so that most people die without finding anything useful."

"This is originally the relationship between cause and effect. Only when your cultivation is close to the great realm can the upper realm be shaken. Therefore, the closer your cultivation is to it, the faster it will be shaken and the greater the amplitude. Only in this way can a crack be opened in the upper realm, and this is the only and true way to ascend. On the contrary, any seemingly orderly and sure search is all self-righteous and reckless. The ending is self-evident, and you will leave with regret."

Yin Shijiu suddenly felt heroic and spoke with great force.

"Well, Brother Nineteen, what you said is so good and so vivid!"

Wang Lu applauded and cheered.

He finally told Nie Gui clearly and accurately his own unique insights into the method of ascending to the upper realm.

The conclusion that Nie Gui got after following his train of thought, careful analysis and reverse deduction was more memorable than if he had said it directly, and he would never forget it.

Of course, there is a prerequisite here, and that is time.

There are very few strong people who have reached the late stage of Spirit Transformation at such a young age as them.

According to the common sense of cultivating immortals, the lifespan of the Golden Core Stage is 500 years, the Nascent Soul Stage does not exceed 1,500 years, and the lifespan from the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation Stage is 2,000 to 3,500 years.

Very few people could step into the half-step realm within three thousand five hundred years. Even if they did and got that vague revelation, they would eventually be taken away by the god of death helplessly either because of their own lack of strength or because they only slightly shook the road to the upper realm.

Wang Lu smiled and said, "Yes, so Brother Nineteen, we must do two things at the same time. We must not only focus on cultivation but also constantly enhance our own strength. Only in this way can we kill it before the end of our lifespan and when the way to the upper realm appears, and then we will have the possibility of ascending."

"Of course, due to my limited vision and strength, this is only my personal opinion of the upper realm so far. As for whether it is right or not, I have no idea."

"Hey, don't underestimate me. I have reached the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm and my strength is not weak. With these two factors combined, I might still be alive even if your body turns into dust. But, every family has its own problems. I still have a long and difficult road to go. It is even more difficult than ascending to heaven to reach the threshold of the Half-Step Great Realm."

"After saying so much, I asked you to rush here this time, Nineteen, first, to share what I have gained with you; second, to ask you to help me bring this storage bag to Senior Yin Qi; and lastly, you must arrange for Zhang Cheng to meet me no matter what."

After Wang Lu finished speaking, he raised his right hand and a heavy storage bag floated in the air.

Song Fengyu's eyes lit up, this is a good thing.

Only treasures with great spiritual power, high quality and large quantity can make the storage bag feel "unable to bear the weight".

He naturally understood what was in the bag. If Wang Lu made another breakthrough in the art of talismans, once these talismans flowed out of the Abyss, he would be at the top of the Hundred Arts Ranking again.

Hey, look how happy I am. A strong person in the late stage of Spirit Transformation can no longer be included in the Hundred Arts List.

However, the disciple is better than the master. Since being rescued from the old ghost Tianfu by Wang Lu, Ding Yuting has not only been on the Hundred Arts List, but has also risen at an astonishing speed. Now she has made it into the top ten and her momentum is unabated.

No one knows what kind of luck the Fantasy Sect has, but for nearly a thousand years, the stars have been shining and illuminating the five regions.

Wang Lu naturally had no idea about his beloved disciple's reaction, but after hearing what Yin Shijiu said, he, who was always calm, couldn't help but say a few good things to comfort him.

Originally, he wanted to give her the Golden Luan Order, but then he remembered that some opportunities cannot be given to her and she has to find and fight for them herself.

As for the meeting with Zhang Cheng, Yin Shijiu looked embarrassed and said, "I think my brother has already known from my eighth ancestor that Zhang Cheng is a disciple of the Li family. He and Li Kuang originally had a very good relationship, but strangely, since when, a huge rift has developed between them without any signs. It has been almost two hundred years, and they have not said a word to each other, even at the grand ancestor worship ceremony of my Yinluanxuan, they ignored each other. My Nie family saw that he and the Li family were drifting apart, and I even put down my face and went to their door twice, but was bluntly rejected. I was so angry that I almost cut him into pieces. Hehe, just kidding, these days, who doesn't want an outstanding figure like a grandmaster of alchemy."

"Then again, I'm just an acquaintance of that person, so it's no problem for me to pass on a message, but I'm afraid he won't agree."

Yin Shijiu rubbed his nose, squinted his eyes, and said anxiously and hatefully: "Why don't I just go all out and tie him up."
