Chapter 953: Chapter 952: Heavenly Realm Goodman Family

No matter in the ordinary human society, or in the world of cultivators, one often hears a phrase, "Leap beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements."

This Three Realms refers to the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms.

The Earth Realm is easy to explain, as it pertains to the ghosts and spirits living in the Underworld, with the most mysterious of the Ming Clan actually being from the Earth Realm.

The scope of the Human Realm is very broad, where ordinary people are considered human, cultivators too are human, and even after ascension to high-level planes, they still cannot shed the label of being human.

As the saying goes, "It’s hard to be a human," the term ’human’ is used in an extremely broad sense, where Demon Cultivators taking human form are also deemed human, and among the Immortals in high-level planes, there exists the character for ’human’.

Therefore, Immortals are also human. Hence, the Human Realm is the largest of all realms, and within it exist countless levels, these levels referred to as different planes of existence.

Take for instance the lowest plane, the ’Lower Element World,’ which is the plane of the Origin Star System, a cultivation plane. Besides the Origin Star System, this plane hosts other civilizations, such as technological civilizations, matriarchal civilizations, Demon Clan civilizations, elf civilizations, and so forth.

Beyond the Lower Element World are higher planes like the Middle Element World, Upper Element World, and the Immortal Realm.

That’s right, the Immortal Realm is also a part of the Human Realm, except it’s the highest-level plane within the Human Realm. Immortals too are human; perhaps some immortals can achieve agelessness, but being ageless is not equivalent to being immortal.

These are two completely different concepts.

Only in the Heavenly Realm, and only the Gods of the Heavenly Realm can discuss the term ’immortal.’

The phrase ’Leap beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements’ often refers to a legend or desire, because there are only three realms in this world. Even if you could leap, where would you go?

You cannot leap out, so typically to leap beyond the three realms and not within the five elements is just a dream, signifying beings with wisdom, who do not wish to exist within the cage of the cyclical Heavenly Dao.

However, it’s not a matter of wanting or not, since there’s no fourth realm; you cannot leap out. Thus, you can only exist within these three realms, and upon death, you enter the Ghost Realm, upon ascension, you enter the Immortal or Heavenly Realm, or you might be reincarnated—in an endless cycle, spinning within these three realms.

The Heavenly Realm is the highest and most mysterious world among these three realms—legend has it that the Heavenly Realm governs the operation of the Heavenly Dao and represents the Heavenly Dao Laws. Its gods preside over the fate of the universe and the destinies of all living beings.

Take, for instance, the tribulations of cultivators.

Cultivators believe that tribulations are predetermined by the Heavenly Dao Laws; however, the Heavenly Dao Laws are also in the hands of the gods of the Heavenly Realm, who even manipulate the course of your tribulation.

Or take the reincarnation of ordinary people. After death, is there reincarnation? Will you enter the world of spirits? What will you become after reincarnation? All these are decided by the gods of the Heavenly Realm.

The Heavenly Realm signifies the operation of the Heavenly Dao; it is like a machine, more like a supercomputer, calculating and dominating the operation of all things.

...

At this very moment, within the Heavenly Realm, a young man’s face suddenly changed, and as he let out a muffled hum, a streak of golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"What is that?" he exclaims in horror, standing up trembling, with disbelief and astonishment on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.

This young man’s last name is Goodman; he is the direct descendant of the Goodman Family of the Heavenly Realm, a supreme family that oversees the cycle of the Heavenly Dao.

The Goodman Family possesses a Divine Skill called ’Formless Mystical Body,’ which is rumored to be as hard to master as ascending to the heavens. Even the head of the Goodman Family has been unable to fully master the Formless Mystical Body to this date.

To cultivate this technique, one must forge one Dharma Body after another, assuming three thousand forms, tumbling through the Three Realms to cultivate, and these three thousand Dharma Bodies must involve the countless karmic effects within the cycles of the Heavenly Dao.

What is the fruition of karma? That is the pursuit of every walk of life. That is to say, within your Dharma Body, you must possess the likes of a bricklayer, an Emperor, a concubine, a poet, General, commoner, Demon Cultivator, Buddha, Alien Race... and so on and so forth.

This refers to the three thousand Dharma Bodies, and each Dharma Body must be cultivated to fruition before it can be reclaimed. If any Dharma Body perishes prematurely, then you must start all over again.

Furthermore, these three thousand Dharma Bodies do not appear all at once. You need to cultivate them one by one. Only after cycling through all three thousand Dharma Bodies can you be considered successful.

Therefore, up until now, no one has fully cultivated these three thousand Dharma Bodies, since there always seems to be some unpredictable, irresistible disaster that occurs, and then you have to start from the beginning again.

The Brennan Soto from before was just one external manifestation of this young man’s Dharma Bodies. And this Dharma Body was one of the highest-ranking Buddhas in the world of Buddhism, also called the Buddha Brennan.

The Brennan Soto that Yusuf Zuck killed was merely an external manifestation of the Buddha Brennan.

However, this external manifestation, namely Brennan Soto, has now been destroyed, and with it, the Buddha Brennan, who was cultivating in the Immortal Realm, has also shattered.

To put it plainly, this young man’s Dharma Body was the Buddha Brennan, and the Buddha Brennan had dispatched an external manifestation, Brennan Soto, to the Lower Realm to collect faith energy. Then, accidentally, Brennan Soto died.

According to this young man’s normal cultivation routine, Brennan Soto would not have died. So, the death of Brennan Soto led to the death of Buddha Brennan in the Immortal Realm as well.

Indeed, the Buddha Brennan in the Immortal Realm has now breathed his last and transcended.

So, the young man must continue to cultivate another Buddha Brennan, but how incredibly difficult it is to cultivate a Buddha Brennan? How many tens of millions of years might that take?

Of course, although the young man was quite vexed at this time, he was also filled with shock and bewilderment because he saw unknowns that he had never encountered or seen before.

"Collins, are you there?" As the young man stood in the room full of shock and bewilderment, a knock came from outside his door.

"Father Emperor, please come in!" The young man, named Zayn Goodman, quickly straightened his clothes, waited for the person outside to enter, and then deeply bowed to the newcomer.

This person bore a resemblance to him, a middle-aged man.

"Collins, how did your Dharma Body of Buddha Brennan in the Immortal Realm suddenly die so violently?" The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "What accident occurred?"

The middle-aged man was named Zayn Goodman Sr., who also practiced the ’Formless Mystical Body Technique’ and had many Dharma Bodies that had reached Mahayana, one of which was even a Buddha in the Cultivation Plane.

Indeed, the Buddhas of Buddhism were merely one of the Dharma Bodies of Zayn Goodman Sr. from the Heavenly Realm. Hence, the Goodman Family was genuinely powerful.

After thinking for a moment, Collins Goodman said, "Father Emperor, an accident indeed occurred. It happened like this!" Collins Goodman recounted the entire sequence of events.

"Are you saying not only did the external manifestation of the Dharma Body die, but the Dharma Body itself died as well, and even you yourself were injured, your soul wounded?" Zayn Goodman Sr. listened and turned pale with shock because to injure his direct descendant from the Goodman Family, who rarely could be harmed in the Heavenly Realm... let alone by a minor cultivator from the Human Realm?

So he felt it was impossible and utterly inconceivable.

Yet his son’s Dharma Body had indeed perished, and his son was truly injured. That was a fact.

"This situation is unheard of to me, and I’m at a loss. However, in recent years, there have been frequent disturbances in the Three Realms, even affecting our Heavenly Realm. Not long ago, a strange and feeble Divine Sense sneaked into our Heavenly World Deity Altar, absorbing the power of the altar, and there have been numerous provocations since, yet we still can’t locate the intruder’s Divine Sense!"

"I’ve also heard about this. However, I hope, Father Emperor, that you will assist me. I wish to visit the Human Realm. That minor cultivator’s power is inconceivable and may hide a profound secret." Collins Goodman said.

Zayn Goodman Sr. waved his hand, "No, you cannot descend to the Lower Realm right now. I’ll keep an eye on that minor cultivator, and what you need to do is prepare for your Heavenly Dao coronation. That is most critical for you, for our Goodman Family!"
