Chapter 847: Chapter 706 Detailed Explanation of the Immortal Dao Fruit Position

In the main world of Shen Hong, what was supposed to be a massive whole wrapped by a world wall.

The internal worlds shared the same rules, only divided into five regions: East, South, West, North, and Central.

At most, the five regions were separated by a space wall, but that was it, no more barriers.

In the past, inter-domain travel merely required passing through this spatial wall to enter other domains.

However, at the end of the Fourth Epoch, during the War of the Worlds, Shen Hong collided with two other ultra-large Vast Thousand Worlds Groups.

This not only reduced countless Immortal Gods of Shen Hong, even Saints, to ashes but also shattered Shen Hong.

This led to the Fifth Era, spreading the End of Dharma Era throughout the Epoch, which, even now, despite many places having their void cracks repaired, had not fully recovered.

Also, due to the incomplete repair of these voids, the post-collision Shen Hong remained largely the same but was no longer in five parts but resembled a honeycomb.

Because of the countless cracks back then, many areas of Shen Hong turned into the void.

To put it plainly, Shen Hong was once a pie divided into five complete pieces, and crossing just meant passing through the seams where the pieces joined.

Now, the peripheral four regions of the pie are not only shattered into many pieces, but some areas are as if bitten off, presenting holes, resembling a honeycomb.

Therefore, flying from one domain to another, aside from crossing great distances and the barriers of the domain walls, also means crossing these holes, the endless Void Turbulent Flow Region.

Moreover, apart from the Central Immortal Domain which remained as intact as before;

The East Wilderness is full of holes;

South Spirit not only is riddled with holes but is split into three parts, and has almost completely detached from the other regions, experiencing a ’decline’ in Ranking, degrading to a medium-thousand world, turning into the Spiritual Realm.

The void distance has become long and dangerous, making passages costlier. At least a Crossing Tribulation Major Repair riding a Sixth-grade spiritual tool is required for travel, and safety is not guaranteed, with the bad luck of being swept into Void Turbulence.

Various reasons have led to the neglect of the Spirit Suppressing Realm and the Demon Suppression Domain.

Otherwise, after all, being a large Immortal Domain, how could it be abandoned?

And both North Cold and West Qiang also cracked into two parts, but are much better than South Spirit, at least they don’t count as true backwaters, still leveling as Immortal Domain territories.

Because of these reasons, what were originally the Five Domains of Shen Hong have now become the Shen Hong Nine Domains.

·······

Within the deep and dark void, as profound as the starry sky, an Immortal Palace with its Protective Shield fully activated, trailing a long flame tail, resembled a wise star wandering through the void.

On their journey, they occasionally saw some shattered Ruins, though most were just small pieces, floating like meteors in the starry sky.

And all without spirituality.

After all, in the void, the Spirit Mechanism would constantly dissipate.

If there were any retaining their Spirit Mechanism until now, it could not possibly be anything trivial.

Should such things exist, they would likely have been scavenged long ago.

Most of these are masterpieces from the Fourth Epoch, and for the monks of the Fifth Epoch facing the End of Dharma, life was harsh, with many keen on scavenging.

It’s a rare occasion to find ruins like the fallen Ruin Group discovered in the East Wilderness before.

At this moment, within the core area of this Immortal Palace’s Magic-driven vehicle, in the bridge-like Control Room.

Wang Zijia sat in the center of the Great Hall, in front of a curved transparent display screen that covered most of the Great Hall’s wall, displaying the scenery ahead.

Lei Ting still stood beside Wang Zijia like a pillar, while Ice Frost maintained the operations of the entire Control Room.

Around the Great Hall, there was a host of God Monarchs manipulating various light screens, coordinating the entire Magic-driven vehicle.

They navigated according to flight paths, avoiding collisions with the void Ruins, and were on the lookout for attacks by perhaps the most ’valuable’ legacies of the Fourth Epoch: void aberration creatures.

It’s because of these spooky things that even a Crossing Tribulation Cultivator could encounter danger while traversing between domains nowadays.

Wang Zijia could see, during the Magic-driven vehicle’s flight, streams of light occasionally shot out, annihilating aberration creatures from the void before they could approach.

After all, their journey was not only guarded by Immortal Tools and Immortals but also facilitated by the core elites of an entire God System.

With a safe route, the danger was actually minimal.

Wang Zijia watched for a moment and then said to Ice Frost, "How long before we can return?"

"According to the detailed travel map from the Immeasurable Palace, given our speed and accounting for the possible sinking distance of South Spirit, it should take roughly half a month to arrive," Ice Frost replied.

Wang Zijia nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll leave this place in your care."

"I will obey the decree!"

Ice Frost responded respectfully.

Wang Zijia stood up and left the Control Room for his own Cultivation Room, with Lei Ting standing guard outside the door like a door deity.

This fellow had just been crafted by Wang Zijia and needed experience to adapt to his new life, so Wang Zijia let him follow along.

······

Back in the Cultivation Room, Wang Zijia began organizing his information, wealth, and status.

With his current level of cultivation, he was reaching the limit of Crossing Tribulation, preparing for Becoming Immortal, and he would have to commence it immediately upon his return.

The Three Great Dao Systems required a ceremony to complete anchoring.

However, this was not too difficult to unfold due to the basic foundation established by Wanyu and the identity of Li Shengshi.

The Cultivation Methods were also gathered long ago, and among the numerous external conditions for becoming Immortal, only two spiritual objects and, um, one hundred Immortal Crystals were missing.

This item used to be an advanced currency in Shen Hong, with Spirit Stones and Immortal Crystals once being the currency of Shen Hong.

Unfortunately, after the End of Dharma Era in the Fifth Epoch, magic money replaced the primary currency, Spirit Essence became advanced currency, and Immortal Crystals became natural treasures.

But they belong to one of the easiest categories to obtain among the many Seventh-grade treasures.

The treasuries of the Natural Law God System were also plundered for some, so there is no lack of these either.

All these factors, along with the spiritual objects currently at hand, in fact, mean that Wang Zijia can now consider becoming Immortal directly without the two spiritual objects.

But becoming Immortal is different from other transformations; once one merges their own Tao and obtains their unique rank that completes their metamorphosis into an Immortal being, all aspects of Wang Zijia’s Great Dao will enter the Great Dao and become permanently fixed.

No matter how many times you reset, it will not change!

And since the Immortal Dao Fruit Position is related to everything that follows, Wang Zijia must choose the most optimal breakthrough.

Because the Immortal Dao Fruit Position comes with its levels!

This rank is not divided like the mundane Dao Foundation into Nine Grades.

There are just three, or perhaps four, levels.

These are, respectively: the Earth Immortal Realm, Celestial Immortal Realm, Profound Immortal Fruit Position, and finally, the Supreme Fruit Position.

From these names, one can deduce many things.

If one condenses an Earth Immortal Fruit Position, it means that one can only achieve the status of Earth Immortal, never breaking through to become a Celestial Immortal;

Condensing a Celestial Immortal Fruit Position doesn’t mean you become a Celestial Immortal directly, but that you can break through from an Earth Immortal to become a Celestial Immortal cultivator.

The Profound Immortal Fruit Position is resolute.

And possessing a Supreme Fruit Position signifies that one can break through the limits of Profound Immortal and might step into the Saint Realm.

Within this, there is no further division of quality for Supreme Fruit Positions.

Because as long as there is a possibility of entering the Saint Third Realm, even if your Supreme Fruit Position is not perfect, as long as there is a chance to enter the Saint Third Realm, you can perfect it at the time of entering the Saint Third Realm.

So after the Supreme Fruit Position, there are no divisions of quality.

So it’s said that once the Fruit Position is condensed, it essentially determines your future level.

It’s worth mentioning here that just because you have a Celestial Immortal Fruit Position doesn’t guarantee you’ll become a Celestial Immortal!

That is your peak, and you might bite the dust during the Earth Immortal phase, or your cultivation falls short, ending up as only an Earth Immortal.

But having a Celestial Immortal Fruit Position, it’s nearly impossible for you to become a Profound Immortal.

In other words, the level of your Fruit Position determines the upper limit of your cultivation; you can go lower, but it’s difficult to break through and continue upward beyond your Fruit Position level.

The reason for this is simple: it’s because of your Tao that determines this, not that the Heavenly Dao won’t allow you to cultivate higher.

An easy way to explain this is:

From being a child cultivator to Crossing Tribulation, you have cultivated tens of thousands of Techniques; this is the foundation of your Tao, a vast network that constitutes the Three Great Dao Systems.

Then upon becoming Immortal, you merge your own Tao, using it as a fulcrum to connect with the world and control laws.

And when you have fused your own Tao, the Heavenly Dao will use all the Taos and reasons in the current world in conjunction with your Tao to initiate a big data calculation.

Calculating all the possible ways you could develop, realize, and deepen your Tao in the current world, using your Tao as a fulcrum, computes how much you could shift the rules of the external Heavenly Dao.

It analyzes all the possible pathways of your future Tao and ultimately solidifies this ’Tao’ to the highest level you could achieve.

Then the Heavenly Dao rates the best outcome as the level of your Fruit Position, hence becoming the limit of your level.

But this is the best result of big data calculation by the Heavenly Dao combined with all Taos in the current world; it doesn’t mean you can truly achieve this best outcome. More likely, your actualization is much worse!

As for exceeding the possibilities calculated by the Heavenly Dao and finding a higher path... it is indeed possible.

Fifty of the Great Dao, Heavenly Evolution Forty-Nine, this is the meaning.

If your fortunes are against heaven itself, you might grasp that one that slipped away!

But this is almost impossible!

Because if you truly had the capability to surpass the pinnacle calculation of the Heavenly Dao, creating new laws, and charting a new path for the world, thus grasping that elusive one, then during your Tribulation, you would have already achieved a Supreme Dao Fruit.

It’s not that no one can do it, but those with the ability wouldn’t get themselves into that situation to begin with.

Compared to the difficulty of condensing a Supreme Fruit Position, breaking through the upper limit of the Fruit Position you have already condensed, creating a new rule for the world, is countless times harder.

Therefore, the Fruit Position is an extremely critical step in becoming Immortal, almost determining everything that follows.

In ancient times, rankings as Immortals were determined by this Fruit Position!

Another point to note here is that your Tao, which ultimately defines your way of leveraging the world, is formed by tens of thousands of Technique Combinations. If this Tao consists of a combination of Techniques not seen before, when the Heavenly Dao calculates, there will be a path-opening blessing. This would naturally uplift your Fruit Position level by one notch at the initial rating, as if granting additional computational power or something similar.

Moreover, the best path that the Heavenly Dao calculates, which determines the highest direction of your Tao, will because of this path-opening blessing, become much clearer and easier for you to see and follow.
