Chapter 11

Laozi, the Heavenly Court, the Eight Trigram Furnace... These familiar terms made Yang Qifeng squint his eyes subconsciously. He was absolutely certain that he had arrived in a world of ancient myths and legends. This realization made Yang Qifeng feel much more relaxed. People often show fear and terror towards the unknown. Everyone is afraid of ghosts, but what they truly fear is the mystery and the unknown about ghosts. If all the information about ghosts were known, there would be nothing to fear.

With his mind set, Yang Qifeng spoke to the ring on his claw, "Now we are in the same boat, and we need to work together to overcome the threat of the Six Ding Divine Fire. Tell me, how can we solve this problem? I remember you said that the Six Ding Divine Fire is one of the ten great flames in the world. I don't believe that just by condensing the divine soul, the threat of the Six Ding Divine Fire can be eliminated."

Yang Qifeng's words were filled with disbelief and distrust.

"Condensing the divine soul, as long as you can condense it, you will have the initial ability to resist the Six Ding Divine Fire. After that, achieving the Primordial Spirit and transforming the Six Ding Divine Fire into your innate divine skill can completely eliminate the隐患," the Blue Dryness Demon God explained.

"In the end, it still comes down to cultivation," Yang Qifeng muttered, then continued, "What are the cultivation realms? Explain them to me in detail."

"The first few steps you have already summarized, although there are slight differences, they are not significant. The real distinction is the realm after forming the Dantian. It is not called the divine soul, but the Yin Spirit. After achieving the demon Dantian, use the demon Dantian to nurture the three souls and seven spirits, and finally condense the divine soul to attain the position of the Yin Spirit."

"The cultivation method after the Yin Spirit is to transform from yin to yang, refining a pure yang treasure. From the Yin Spirit to the Yang Spirit, which is the Primordial Spirit."

"The Primordial Spirit is a transitional cultivation realm. At this realm, the cultivator needs to start preparing treasures, accumulating good deeds, and begin the lightning tribulation. The lightning tribulation has nine levels. Passing it means becoming an immortal. However, even if you fail, it's not a big deal. Abandoning the physical body, you can become a ghost immortal, basically achieving longevity."

"What about the Immortal Path?" Hearing the Blue Dryness Demon God stop speaking, Yang Qifeng couldn't help but ask. In a world with the Heavenly Court, immortals are as common as dogs, and Golden Immortals are everywhere. The only ones who can be considered experts are the Great Law Immortals. Therefore, Yang Qifeng wasn't very concerned about the few realms before the Immortal Path.

"The Immortal Path, little one, you are really reaching too high. Achieving the Immortal Path and eternal life is not as easy as you think. The world has changed greatly from ancient times. Everyone was a primordial spirit, and they had the power of immortals as soon as they were born. Now, with the primordial qi completely gone and the post-primordial qi as the main force, the path of cultivation is extremely difficult."

"Out of ten thousand people cultivating, only one can achieve the Primordial Spirit. That's a rare occurrence," the Blue Dryness Demon God said with a strong tone of disdain.

Continuing, he said to Yang Qifeng, "With your talent, you are a form created by the fire in the Eight Trigram Immortal Furnace. In terms of background, you cannot compare to the ancient times. In the current era, among the post-primordial spirits, you are considered decent, but achieving the Immortal Path is impossible."

"Didn't you say that cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years could also achieve the Immortal Path? Isn't that contradictory?" Yang Qifeng seized on the Blue Dryness Demon God's words and asked.

"Yes, cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years can achieve the Immortal Path, but do you have hundreds of thousands of years to cultivate? Let's talk about lifespan. Ordinary immortals only live for 90,000 years. You, a mere mortal, can't live that long. You would have long since passed away and become a pile of bones."

"Moreover, the great tribulation of the world occurs every 300,000 years. This is too far away for you. It is a tribulation for those who have achieved the Immortal Path. You can't even pass the tribulation that comes every ten thousand years," the Blue Dryness Demon God said, striking Yang Qifeng with relentless words. "Today, the rules of the world are manifested, with the Heavenly Court suppressing the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Netherworld below. Tribulations come one after another, and the world is in chaos, clearly in a state of tribulation."

"Does this mean that the number of people who can cultivate to become immortals is very few, even in the famous sects?" Yang Qifeng's human-like fire crow head furrowed its brow and asked.

"Although not many, there are still some. Although the world is filled with post-primordial qi, some great immortals and famous sects occupy the blessed lands, where the flowing qi is primordial. Cultivation is not slow there."

"Even without blessed lands, there is the protection of the Heavenly Court's ancestors, who occasionally bestow star power. Little one, don't compare yourself to them. They have backgrounds and support."

Yang Qifeng's eyes showed understanding as he looked at the ring on his claw. He realized that the Blue Dryness Demon God was deliberately belittling him to emphasize his importance and deepen his reliance on him. He directly asked for help, "Great God, with your extraordinary abilities, you can certainly help me cultivate to become an immortal."

"Little one, you are absolutely right. With my help, your path of cultivation will be smooth. Let me test you. What is the most important thing in cultivation?"

"Wealth, companions, methods, and place!" Yang Qifeng answered without hesitation. He was not unfamiliar with this concept, as cultivators value these things the most.

"Your answer is correct, but it is a bit vague and not very specific," the Blue Dryness Demon God said.

"Resources," Yang Qifeng pondered and then rephrased.

"Correct. Whether it's cultivation methods or places, they can all be attributed to resources," the Blue Dryness Demon God, now in the form of a ring, could not express emotions, but Yang Qifeng could hear the approval in his tone.

"As long as you have endless resources, a pig, after eating a Nine-Transmutation Golden Pill, can cultivate to become an immortal, let alone you."

"I have roamed the ancient world and know countless secret realms and cultivation grounds. After so many years, they have either reached the end of their lifespan or died in the great tribulations, all becoming unclaimed. With my help, these resources are all yours. It was very wise of you to choose the first type of transaction."

"Being able to receive my help, little one, is a blessing you have cultivated for a hundred lifetimes. No, you might not even have such a blessing in a hundred lifetimes," the Blue Dryness Demon God said solemnly.
