Chapter 1555: 1027 I want to stand above all the saints

Even the presence of the holy beasts like the Qilin, Empress Nuwa, and Mother Earth, firmly obstructed Zhen Yuanzi’s path of progress, preventing him from achieving Dao to this day.

If Zhen Yuanzi wished to achieve Dao, he would necessarily have to transcend these three beings who had already stepped onto the holy path. However, had Zhen Yuanzi possessed the capability, he wouldn’t have remained silent and motionless up to this very day.

He was unable to dislodge any one of these three mighty Daoists of the holy path, let alone all three of them at once.

Zhen Yuanzi knew that as long as these three existed, his aspiration of achieving Dao by becoming the ruler of earth was simply an impossibility.

To achieve Dao, he could only think of another way.

After all, a living person can’t be done in by holding his pee – Zhen Yuanzi, after much pondering, did indeed find another path to achieving Dao.

At that time, the Prehistoric World shattered, and of the vast land, not one in ten thousand remained whole. Looking upon those ruined mountains and rivers, and the earth full of scars, Zhen Yuanzi was struck with inspiration. He integrated all his knowledge and realized the Way of the Earth Immortal.

What is an Earth Immortal?

An individual, a mountain, established upon the earth, residing in the world eternally, undying for eons is the definition!

The places of cultivation in the world, from lowest to highest, can be divided into five levels: Spiritual Land, Immortal Domain, Blessed Land, Cave Heaven, and Holy Land.

The Way of the Earth Immortal that Zhen Yuanzi pioneered is related to this, and could be referred to as the method of evolving into Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

In the beginning stages of cultivation, a cultivator seeks out a Spiritual Vein, merges with it, and entrusts their Dao Fruit to it, growing alongside the Spiritual Vein.

Once the Dao Fruit and the Spiritual Vein are fully integrated, mastering the transformations of the surrounding Spiritual Energy and converting the nearby ten-mile radius entirely into a Spiritual Land, one is considered to have entered the threshold of the Way of the Earth Immortal.

The cultivation path that follows involves expanding one’s own Spiritual Land by all possible means, enlarging it to ten thousand miles in radius, advancing to the status of an Immortal Domain, which is akin to becoming an immortal.

Thereafter, when the Immortal Domain is elevated to a Blessed Land, one’s realm would step into the level of an Innate Dao Monarch.

If the Blessed Land is perfected and becomes an independent entity, transforming into a Cave Heaven that hangs high above the heavens and simultaneously exists in the past, present, and future, then the master of that Cave Heaven will transcend the River of Destiny and ascend to the realm of an Innate Dao Sovereign.

If a Cave Heaven transcends the temporal river, existing yet not existing in the past, present, and future, present everywhere and nowhere, and emerging amidst the Chaos beyond the heavens, then it signifies that the master of the Cave Heaven has stepped into the realm of a Quasi-Saint.

Should the Cave Heaven depart from the Chaos beyond the heavens, appearing in the Great Chaos beyond the boundaries, and completely transcend Heaven and Earth, it would then metamorphose into a Holy Land, and the master of this Holy Land would reach the realm of the Primordial.

It was precisely because he established the Way of the Earth Immortal that Zhen Yuanzi found another path to achieving Dao.

Since he could not become the master of the vast land, he thought of a method to create a Holy Land, and by becoming the ruler of the Holy Land, he could ascend to the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial.

However, easier said than done.

Wanting to create a Holy Land out of nothing – how could that be easy? It was far more difficult than forging an Innate Treasure, simply not something Zhen Yuanzi could achieve.

The difficulty of creating a Holy Land is only slightly less than the creation of a Primordial Level Divine Artifact within Jiang Chen’s Divine Artifact system, which is akin to the creation of an entire Universe World.

Under normal circumstances, to form an entire Universe World would require a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial to sacrifice themselves to accomplish it.

And the reason Jiang Chen could create a Universe World was through employing a cunning method – directly devouring the Boundless Starry Sky, which enabled him to succeed.

Therefore, for Zhen Yuanzi alone to create a Holy Land out of nothing is practically an impossibility. If he had such ability, he wouldn’t have remained unable to achieve Dao.

However, if Jiang Chen could rely on such a clever method as devouring the shattered Boundless Starry Sky to create a Universe World, then Zhen Yuanzi could also think of a clever way.

The method Zhen Yuanzi came up with was to devour the shattered land of the Prehistoric World, and then use this as the foundation to evolve a Holy Land.

If creating something out of nothing was impossible, then why not take something pre-made? Even though the Prehistoric World was severely fragmented, its Original Source was incomparably profound, more than enough for evolving a Holy Land.

Zhen Yuanzi thought, if he refined all four major continents and turned them into his Holy Land, wouldn’t that enable him to achieve Dao?

For this reason, Zhen Yuanzi even thought of a name for the future Holy Land – the Earth Immortal World! Yes, it was the Earth Immortal World from Jiang Chen’s previous life.

Should the Earth Immortal World come into existence, Zhen Yuanzi would pass down the Way of the Earth Immortal. By then, countless Earth Immortals would aid him in cultivation.

It wouldn’t take long for his cultivation to not only catch up to the six Saints but even surpass them and chase after the Taoist Ancestors. At that time, his title as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals would truly be deserved.

Why would countless Earth Immortals aid Zhen Yuanzi’s cultivation? This brings us to the special nature of the Way of the Earth Immortal. The basis of the Way of the Earth Immortal lies in one’s own cultivated Spiritual Land, Immortal Domain, Cave Heaven Blessed Land. This is the Dao Fruit of an Earth Immortal, and the stronger they are, the stronger the master becomes.

And since Zhen Yuanzi would refine the Prehistoric Earth into his Holy Land, the Earth Immortal cultivators who establish their Spiritual Land or Immortal Domain would basically be entrusting their Dao Fruit to Zhen Yuanzi’s Dao Fruit.

To put it simply, the entire Way of the Earth Immortal is Zhen Yuanzi’s Dao Fruit. Naturally, the more numerous the Earth Immortals, the more powerful the Dao Fruit, the stronger the Ancestor of Earth Immortals becomes.

The difference between the Way of the Earth Immortal and the Divine Artifact system lies precisely here.

The Way of the Earth Immortal is about creating Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, but no matter how powerful they become, they are always within the scope of Heaven and Earth, governed by the Heavenly Dao, essentially plundering the resources of Chaos to strengthen Heaven and Earth.
