"There's an ancient path left behind by the Dragon Clan?"
Fang Xing was dumbfounded by the Divine Lord's words. As a cultivator, he was no stranger to the Path of Immortal Ascension. When he saw the Fairy Attraction Stone Bridge, he had already guessed that this bridge was related to the legendary Path of Immortal Ascension. However, he did not know that there was another Path of Immortal Ascension apart from the Human Clan's Path of Immortal Ascension. Filled with curiosity, he looked toward the Divine Lord.
"To put it bluntly, the Immortal Ascension Path is the path to the Immortal Domain!"
The Divine Lord saw the doubt in Fang Xing's heart and explained softly, "However, that path is not the only one. In fact, there are a total of four Immortal Ascension Paths created by the predecessors of the Taoist Sect, the Buddhist Sect, the Demon Clan, and the Dragon Clan. All four Immortal Paths lead to the Great Immortal Realm, but there are differences. The Immortal Path left behind by the Taoist Sect leads to the Thirty-three Heavens, the Demon Clan leads to the Archean Demon Realm, the Immortal Path left behind by the Buddhist Sect leads to the Western Heaven Realm, and the Immortal Path left behind by the Dragon Clan leads to the Ancient Sky Dragon Domain.
"Cultivators can't step into the Great Immortal Realm just because they are qualified to become an Immortal!"
The Divine Lord let out a long sigh and looked at the vast sea of clouds and the starry sky behind the clouds. "The starry sky beyond the Immortal Domain is too vast and huge. It can be said to be boundless. Even the most powerful cultivator could easily get lost in the boundless starry sky if he were to wander around in the Immortal Domain. He would then be stuck in silence until his death. Therefore, for cultivators, ascension is actually a very serious matter. Not only must one have sufficient strength, but one must also know how to get to the Great Immortal Realm and the route..."
"The route of ascension?"
Fang Xing's brows furrowed slightly as he slowly repeated this sentence.
"Yes, it can be said that the most important thing during ascension is the route!"
The Demon Ancestor seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the problem. He frowned and explained to Fang Xing softly, "There are too many dangers and dangers between the starry sky. If one doesn't have a route and wander around the starry sky randomly, it is very easy to get lost or encounter a disaster. Even if one has a route and a general direction, it is still possible to get lost due to some unexpected circumstances. Therefore, the once powerful four legacies have built their own Immortal Ascension Paths for their descendants. Sometimes, when their descendants are about to become Immortals, they will even send envoys to receive them. This is the reason why the Immortal Envoys will descend after becoming Immortals!"
When Fang Xing heard this, he understood in his heart.
He had also been on the path of cultivation for a long time, so he understood a lot about ascension in the cultivation world. Naturally, he had heard all kinds of rumors. In some ancient records, ascension was directly to the Outer Realm. It was like a person's matter. There were also some that when ascending, the heavens and earth would change, and the Immortal Envoys would descend, chanting Immortal Gold, Immortal Luan Jade Carriages, and flying flowers would pave the road. The people of the world would prostrate themselves in worship, and they would head to the Outer Realm with great fanfare, hoping that everyone in the world would know of this.
The Demon Ancestor let out a low sigh and continued, "To be able to open up a path between the starry sky for their descendants to ascend, they are naturally great legacies with deep foundations. In fact, this is no longer something that an ordinary orthodoxy can accomplish. It must be a sect. Since ancient times, there have been four legacies that have opened up this Ancient Path of Ascension. They are the most powerful Taoists. It can be said that the entire Great Immortal Realm was opened up by the ancestors of the Taoists. The Daoist's Path of Immortal Ascension is naturally the most stable and safest. The Path of Immortal Ascension that people speak of actually refers to this path. The Immortal Attraction Stone Bridge that you saw earlier is the most important location of this path. Originally, there was only one path to the Great Immortal Realm, but later, in order not to be controlled by others, the Buddhist sects, demons, and dragons also opened up their own paths to the stars. Cultivators of Heavenly Origin can use these four ancient paths to advance all the way to the Great Immortal Realm! "
At this point, he turned his head with a rather solemn expression. It seemed that even an existence like him would feel rather emotional when he mentioned the miraculous ancient paths that traversed the starry sky. "These four paths are the legendary Path of Ascension, and they can lead to the Ancient Realms of the four directions!"
"The Ancient Realms of the four directions …"
Fang Xing also couldn't help repeating it. The conversation today had really let him hear a lot of fresh Immortal secrets.
The Demon Ancestor sighed. "The Ancient Realms of the four directions are the territories of the four orthodoxies in the Great Immortal Realm. They are vast and boundless, and are the most suitable places in the starry sky for Immortals to cultivate. The Taoists, Buddhists, demons, and dragons all have their own territories there. They are the 33 Heavens of the Taoists, the Western Buddhist Realm of the Buddhists, the Immemorial Demon Realm of the Demon Race, and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Domain of the Dragon Race. These four realms are collectively known as the Great Immortal Realm, and are the blessed lands that cultivators of the world dream of throughout their lives. They are the land of immortality, the supreme land of the universe..."
"It turns out that the so-called Ascension is actually entering the Great Immortal Realm..."
The look in Fang Xing's eyes became a little complicated. He seemed to feel a little disappointed, but also a little emotional.
For cultivators like them, Ascension was undoubtedly a magical word that seemed to have an indescribable magical power. But in truth, after putting it bluntly, they could understand that Ascension was just crossing the starry sky from Tian Yuan to another starry sky. That place might be more suitable for Immortals to cultivate, but it was not the heaven that some people imagined. It was just another space!
But when they thought deeper, crossing billions of miles of starry sky to reach the other end of the boundless sea of stars, they felt that it was very extraordinary.
After all, just looking up at the boundless starry sky was enough to tell how difficult it was to travel there.
Ascension was really a simple but infinitely difficult thing.
"That's true. Ascension isn't as complicated as you think. It's just entering the Great Immortal Realm from Tian Yuan!"
Demon Ancestor sighed softly, then smiled lightly. "But it's not that simple. After Tian Yuan sealed the heavens, no matter how strong Zhu Xiu's magic power is, he will no longer be able to escape to the outer realms. Naturally, he will no longer be able to set foot on the four ancient paths and enter the Great Immortal Realm. He will also no longer be able to obtain the blessing of the Great Immortal Realm and become a True Immortal. This is the true meaning of Heaven Sealing Immortal Extinction... But even after Tian Yuan reopens, it's not that easy for people to become Immortals. After all, the Star Map that points out the four paths to Immortality is something that only the most orthodox and most profound inheritances have … Even for Immortal Kings, if they don't have the correct Star Map, who would dare plunge headfirst into the boundless starry sky? Once they get lost, even if their lifespan is endless, they might never be able to walk out again! "
"What you're saying is..."
Fang Xing couldn't help but nod repeatedly, agreeing with what Demon Ancestor had said.
The starry sky was just too terrifying. Just thinking about it made one feel endlessly desolate and filled with endless dangers. This wasn't some barren mountain in Tian Yuan, where one could go in and wander around for a few days before coming out. Once one got lost in the starry sky, it was simply unimaginable how terrifying it would be. Back then, he had also heard from the Little Princess of Yaochi that there were many Immortals who were exiled into the boundless starry sky in ancient times. But in the end, how many of them managed to reach a realm where they could survive and even establish their own Immortal Realm?
There were so many powerful beings, but weren't most of them directly swallowed up by the boundless starry sky?
Even if they were Immortals, compared to the boundless starry sky, they were still too insignificant...
"But if that's the case, then even if I don't undergo the nine tribulations, if I can obtain the four Star Maps, I can still become Immortal, right?"
Fang Xing pondered for a moment and thought of another problem.
"Theoretically, it's possible. There have been special cases like this in the past!"
Demon Ancestor nodded directly and said, "But it's just a theory. In reality, it's very difficult!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the Master God, as if he didn't know as much about this as the Master God.
"It should be said that it's basically impossible to work!"
The Master God's expression was indifferent as he continued, "It's no longer the most prosperous time now. After the catastrophe, the four Ancient Paths to Immortality have been almost destroyed. The Taoist Path to Immortality has already been controlled by All Saints. You've seen it just now, there are many restrictions on that path. Ordinary people can't even get close to the stone bridge, let alone step on that ancient path. As for the Buddhist Path to Immortality, it was almost completely destroyed when the sect was attacked. Even the current Tian Yuan Buddha, the only successor of the Buddhist Sect, has to borrow the Taoist Path to Immortality and abide by the rules of All Saints Hall if he wants to find the ruins of the Western Heaven Realm. This is the reason..."
"As for the Demon Clan's Path to Immortality, it has always been in the hands of the Celestial Palace …"
At this point, the Master God paused for a moment before continuing, "The 3,000 Celestial Race used this ancient path to return to Tian Yuan. However, we encountered some trouble when we descended. At that time, Tian Yuan had already been hidden by the Nine Coffins from the starry sky. We knew that we were already close to this Star Region, but we couldn't return. Instead, we conquered many surrounding Small Immortal Realms … In the end, it was the Sea of Azure Billows that provided the location of Tian Yuan that allowed the 3,000 Celestial Race to finally descend to Tian Yuan. The first request of the Nine-headed Worm was to obtain the Star Map of the Demon Clan's Path to Immortality. However, I disappointed him. It's not that I'm too stingy, but because when we traced back along the way, the Demon Clan's Ancient Path had already been destroyed by us. Even with this Star Map, we can't go through! "
"If that's the case, the only option for those who aren't chosen to become Immortal is the Dragon Clan's Ancient Path?"
Fang Xing thought of many things and said hurriedly after pondering for a while.
"That's right. For those who aren't chosen, among the four ancient paths, the Dragon Clan's Ancient Path is the only feasible one!"
Even the Master God sighed in a low voice. "However, compared to the Taoist Sect, Buddhist Sect, and Demon Clan, the Dragon Clan is the weakest. The ancient path they open is also the most difficult one. Apart from the True Dragon Bloodline, no one knows the exact location of this path. However, legend has it that the Dragon Clan's Ancient Path is the most difficult and dangerous path among the four Paths to Immortality. Along the way, there are many obstacles that only the people with the True Dragon Bloodline can pass. Therefore, it's almost impossible for outsiders to pass this path!"
"In fact, the Nine-headed Worm obtained the Star Map of the Dragon Clan's Ancient Path long ago, but he didn't dare to embark on it because of this reason. Moreover, it's difficult to predict the dangers and variables in the vast Star Region. Even if he begged me to help him, even if he's well-prepared and powerful, the possibility of him reaching the other side after embarking on the Dragon Clan's Ancient Path is less than 10% … Hehe, I admire him. For someone with the bloodline of an outsider, he's considered a great figure since he dares to embark on the Dragon Clan's Ancient Path!"
"Less than 10%?"
When Fang Xing heard this, he was stunned. "Then why does he still insist on going?"
The Master God sighed softly. "Because he knows that this might be his last chance to become Immortal!"
