Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

1051 Between Conformity and Reversal, All Can Become Immortals

The sword’s name was Wu Yue. It was two feet long and weighed three and a half pounds. It was made of refined jade-black steel, infused with three-star Yunmo stones, blue gold, and Huan wood shavings…

Wuyue Sword was originally a sword carried by an itinerant cultivator in the Immortal World. This cultivator traveled billions of miles across the heavens and earth, with no fixed abode for 3,000 years, experiencing a rich and colorful array of sights and sounds.

These memories were naturally observed one by one by Han Muye.

Wang Jintai obtained this sword from his clan uncle Wang Minghe, who was stationed as a steward in the Yuzhe Prefecture.

This sword accompanied Minghe for several decades and then spent over five hundred years in the hands of Wang Jintai. It not only contained many memories of various cultivation practices in the Mystic Spirit Sword Sect, but also their own experiences.

All of this was exactly what Han Muye lacked.

Under the pretext of secluding himself to recuperate, Han Muye stayed in the small attic arranged for him by Wang Jintai for three days.

Of course, he was indeed recuperating.

With the help of elixirs, within three days, he activated his immortal qi and elevated his cultivation realm to the peak of the Earth Realm, just one step away from forming a golden core with immortal qi.

Because it was similar to spiritual energy cultivation, his mental state was completely adapted to the cultivation realm. He could step into the Golden Core realm and become a Nascent Soul, or even reach the Heaven Realm.

However, the Essence Soul and body needed more tempering to be compatible with the immortal qi of the Immortal World. He still needed to slowly fuse with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Immortal World and use it to comprehend the Dao of Heaven and Earth before recreating his own Dao.

Achieving the Heaven Realm was good and relatively easy, but to step into the Human Immortal Realm after that, one needed to comprehend the great Dao and transcend ordinary boundaries to become a sage.

In the mortal cultivation world, the great Dao was scarce. Whether it was comprehending the Dao to become a half-sage or mastering a single Dao to become a sage, it was not difficult.

Even becoming the progenitor of a Dao or integrating one’s own path into the heavens and earth, becoming a venerable powerhouse, was much simpler for the Immortal World.

The Immortal World was completely different.

Heaven Realm was easily achieved, but transcending into a Human Immortal is difficult, with only one in 10,000 reaching the level of a Heavenly Immortal.

This is because the heavens and earth are stable, and the power of immortal qi is formidable. It is not difficult for cultivators in the immortal realm to achieve the Heaven Realm. However, comprehending the Heavenly Dao and mastering the Great Dao is countless times harder than in the mortal cultivation world.

Moreover, the Heavenly Tribulation is terrifyingly strong.

From Wang Minghe’s memories, Han Muye saw that Wang Minghe had already reached the peak of the Sage Realm but hesitated to cross the Heavenly Tribulation and step into the realm of the Heavenly Venerable, the pinnacle of the Human Immortal.

He had been stationed in Yuzhe Prefecture for thousands of years, just to earn enough merit to exchange for the sect’s assistance in crossing the tribulation.

As for transcending from the realm of Human Immortals to Heavenly Immortals, it required overcoming the difficulty of the Heavenly Human Tribulation.

The Five Decays of Heaven and Man posed a life-or-death challenge.

Countless Human Immortals ultimately fell at this obstacle, turning into dust and bones.

In the immortal realm, there is a large number of Human Immortals, but when it comes to Heavenly Immortals, their numbers suddenly decrease, with hardly one remaining, all because of the difficulty of the Heavenly Human Tribulation.

“Between conformity and reversal, all can become immortals?”

To Han Muye’s surprise, he discovered a method to overcome the Heavenly Human Tribulation.

By following the will of the Heavenly Dao and enduring the arrival of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, one could calmly face the challenge of life and death.

If one succeeded, one would be reborn and achieve the realm of Heavenly Immortal. However, it would be a silent and serene ascension, as one’s physical body would perish and one’s Dao would vanish.

If one did not wish to follow this path, one could defy fate.

One could transcend with one’s own power.

Without experiencing the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and without entering the realm of Heavenly Immortals, one could accumulate the power of Heavenly Immortal cultivation. With one’s overwhelming strength, one could forcefully break through.

Such methods were only dared to be used by the direct disciples of major sects and the core descendants of various influential forces.

Without sufficient resources, this kind of cultivation path leads to a dead end.

Even with abundant resources, without the support of a major force, one would be even more clueless about how to survive.

In fact, not only in defying the heavens during cultivation, but even in conforming to the heavens before reaching the realm of Heavenly Immortal, one needs the protection of a powerful force behind them.

Otherwise, when the Five Decays of Heaven and Man weaken one’s power, they will undoubtedly be targeted and killed by others for their treasures.

After cultivating for countless thousands of years to reach the pinnacle of Human Immortal, who doesn’t have a few enemies?

“The method of transcending seems quite intriguing in the Endless Heavenly Venerable’s inheritance,” Han Muye muttered to himself.

Although the Endless Heavenly Venerable always claimed to have originated from the mortal cultivation world, his cultivation method was truly remarkable.

From the short sword, Han Muye saw many sect disciples going to the Spirit Transformation Pool and the various mortal cultivation worlds by accepting missions.

For example, tasks like guarding the mortal cultivation world, as done by Murong Zheng.

There were also disciples of the Heaven Patrol Hall tasked with capturing criminals in the mortal cultivation world.

The weak power of the Heavenly Dao in the mortal world was a trick for Heaven Realm disciples who could not comprehend the Great Dao in the Immortal World.

He would take a trip to the mortal world or the Spiritual Realm and comprehend the Great Dao first. If he could not break through when he returned, he would use the Dao he comprehended to replace the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal World and step into the Human Immortal realm.

This cultivation method was looked down upon by the orthodox cultivators of the Immortal World and was called a “pseudo-immortal”.

This was because the Great Dao these people controlled could not be compatible with the Dao of the Immortal World. Their combat strength was more than 10 times lower than cultivators of the same realm.

These people could only bully ordinary Heaven Realm experts.

After walking through the Spirit Transformation Pool and entering the Immortal World, those who directly entered the Human Immortal realm were all turned into pseudo immortals.

Transcendent immortals had no status in the Immortal World.

However, it was not absolute.

Some individuals with great perseverance could re-cultivate the path of immortality, regain mastery of the Great Dao, and possess even stronger power than cultivators of the same level.

Such individuals existed in various sects of the Immortal World and were regarded as elite disciples, receiving more attention.

Within three days, Han Muye not only grasped the general situation of various forces in the Immortal World through the Wuyue short sword but also gained a thorough understanding of the surrounding environment through Wang Jintai’s memories.

This region of the Immortal World was called the Fuyu Immortal Realm, consisting of 36 provinces, each with a radius of billions of miles. Barren wastelands were widespread, and the vast majority of cultivators only cultivated within their own provinces.
