Book 7 Chapter 11 The Level Above The Immortal Stage

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Bai Qiuran was calm and began to think about the level of cultivation after ascending to immortality.

Although his own level was in a very embarrassing state, he believed that he would not be inferior to the Immortal Emperor in later generations when it came to the total energy in his body. Therefore, if he was just simulating and deducing, using only the True Qi in his body, had already been enough.

Wise Immortal told him about the characteristics of the Land Immortal. After breaking through the Great Ascension stage, a small spiritual platform would appear under Nascent Soul’s feet in the Purple Palace of the Land Immortals. This was called the “Immortality Ascending Platform”.

The initial appearance of Immortality Ascending Platform was just a phantom, and the Land Immortals need to fill it with spiritual energy through cultivation, condense it, and wait until Immortality Ascending Platform was fully cultivated to materiality, which was the Great Perfection of the Land Immortals.

In addition to whether the Land Immortals and Heavenly Immortals received the celestial aura forging, there shouldn’t be much difference at the beginning. Both were immortals cultivated by the human race.

Bai Qiuran manipulated his True Qi to shape the structure of an ordinary cultivator’s Purple Palace in front of him, and then deduced it step by step from the Body Forging stage to the Great Ascension stage, and according to the words of the Land Immortal, he deduced it to the great perfection of the Land Immortal.

Looking at the Nascent Soul sitting on a platform in the Purple Palace in front of him, he fell into thinking.

For the opportunity for a breakthrough, Bai Qiuran first thought of Immortality Ascending Platform, which would only be produced after becoming immortal. In his thought, cultivators could refine this platform by refining magic weapons, relying on further training Immortality Ascending Platform to improve the level. When the level was high enough, Immortality Ascending Platform could also become a magic weapon, capable of offensive and defensive, and extremely powerful.

Figuring that it would be possible, he stretched out his hand to the Immortality Ascending Platform, and started to do it.

Because it was solid energy, there was no need to use real fire for refining. After all, if it needed to use real fire and Nascent Soul to play refining tools in the Purple Palace, Bai Qiuran estimated that apart from him, no cultivator’s Purple Palace could withstand it.

So, he omitted this step and directly began to play runes on the platform.

Starting from the most basic rune, because the simulation was a well-behaved cultivator, Bai Qiuran only used single-line runes. He started from the most basic wood rune and inscribed it step by step. It was indeed fruitful. In his deduction, the level of this Purple Palace did indeed get higher and higher as more runes were engraved.

Bai Qiuran then kept on engraving all the wood runes he knew and then began to inscribe the divine texts of wood he learned with the help of Jiang Lan.

As a result, when the second divine text was engraved, the Purple Palace burst into a body because it couldn’t hold it.

He changed a few more attributes and tried one by one. The best result was the divine text of the water. He was able to engrave the fourth text, though it became dangerously unstable. That was because Jiang Lan was once the god of the sea, thus her knowledge of this kind of divine text was more profound.

“It cannot be done……”

Bai Qiuran shook his head and gave up this path. Even the water rune that traveled the farthest, the resulting cultivator would not be the level of an ordinary divine general at the end.

However, this method could be used as a means of reinforcement.

He raised his hand to release his sword beam, cut a stone slab on the mountain wall, and recorded this method on it.

Putting the slate aside, Bai Qiuran switched to another idea.

Since refining Immortality Ascending Platform doesn’t work, then maybe I should start from the Nascent Soul itself. This is the origin of the cultivator. According to the truth, it should be transformed again as the realm improves.

He thought for a while, then decided that the appearance of the Nascent Soul was the same as the cultivator, it should be the best, therefore, the only thing could be changed in essence.

He first used one of the most stupid methods, that was, to further compress the energy that constituted Nascent Soul.

As a result, after Nascent Soul was compressed by him, it finally formed a golden body in the Purple Palace, which fell apart immediately after a slight movement.

Bai Qiuran scratched his forehead and changed to another method. He regarded Nascent Soul as a character and then used aura to refine equipment for him, just like refining Immortality Ascending Platform.

It was indeed successful at the beginning. Nascent Soul held a sword in its hand, and after putting on the battle armor, it was indeed a bit stronger than before, but after doing so, the degree of enhancement was limited. In the end, Bai Qiuran almost turned Nascent Soul into a big wood that was immobile. The result of doing this was even worse than engraving runes on the Immortality Ascending Platform.

However, he already knew that the road of the immortal should not be so easy to be figured out by him. Bai Qiuran was not discouraged. This method had no value as a strengthening method, so he left behind and began to experiment with new methods.

…

Time flew, Bai Qiuran had been in the waterfall for almost a whole year, and every day, when Jiang Lan had nothing to do, she would go outside the waterfall for a period of time, until the sun was about to set.

Of course, Bai Qiuran didn’t know about this. During this year, he kept experimenting with various methods, from Immortality Ascending Platform to Nascent Soul, and even methods involving the entire Purple Palace.

He even thought about recreating Eight Meridians and the Purple Palace’s spiritual platform in the Nascent Soul’s body, and then letting Nascent Soul’s body cultivate Nascent Soul again, so that the circle went on forever, just like Matroska dolls.

But the result of this was that Nascent Soul would later awaken its self-consciousness, and the Nascent Soul of ordinary cultivators couldn’t withstand that kind of modifying.

After one year, even Bai Qiuran felt he had hit a dead-end.

So, he decided to end the closed-door cultivator and simply go for a walk to find some inspiration.

As soon as he walked out of the waterfall, he saw Jiang Lan standing next to the pool under the waterfall, staring straight at the waterfall in a daze.

When they saw each other, both of them were stunned.

“It’s a coincidence that I just came here by accident to take a look.”

Jiang Lan’s face was slightly red. She turned her gaze away and said:

“Have you realized the way to break through?”

“No.”

Bai Qiuran shook his head. Seeing Jiang Lan’s awkward reaction, he didn’t say anything.

“It happens that you are here, so I will walk with you.”

The sky was getting dark, but Bai Qiuran didn’t let Jiang Lan go back, but took her to fly and landed on a nearby mountain peak.

After venting the true energy and forming a barrier, Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan stood side by side on this mountain, looking up at the starry sky, and walking slowly.

“Although I hate the celestial gods…”

Jiang Lan looked at the shining stars in the sky, a little fascinated.

“… I can’t deny that they have made some particularly beautiful things.”

“But they only want to enjoy this beauty by themselves forever.”

Bai Qiuran also looked up at the sky, and said after a moment:

“In the future, our human race will create a more beautiful sky than them.”

He and Jiang Lan came to a cliff. From here, the world was vast and boundless.

“It’s beautiful.”

Jiang Lan praised.

“Yup……”

Bai Qiuran looked at this world but realized something.

He remembered the first teaching that his master Qingming Taoist said when he led him to the threshold of cultivation.

“The so-called cultivation, learning the Tao, seeking the true self, in fact, is to perceive the world and use the power of the world for your own use. The human body has great potential and cultivation uses the power of the world to tap this potential. If the body can become like the world, you can become immortal in a single thought.”
