The nine-headed Red Cloud Flaming Tiger carriage was parked on the floating island.
Gu Qingfeng was sleeping in the bedroom of the carriage, while Little Qianniao was tempering the Blue Moon Sword in the quiet room of the carriage.
Lord Ma was sitting cross-legged in the hall of the carriage, consolidating his cultivation.
Although Gu Qingfeng had given him a Xiantian grade immortal sword and immortal armor, Lord Ma did not immediately start tempering like Qianniao.
He had cultivated for more than a thousand years and had wandered the Great Wilderness for many years. He clearly knew that although immortal weapons and magic treasures could increase one's strength, in the end, forging iron required one's own strength. Immortal weapons and magic treasures alone could not display the true power of immortal weapons and magic treasures without the support of a strong cultivation base. In the end, it was just an empty shell.
Moreover, refining an Immortal Armament wasn't something that could be completed in a single day. Instead, it required countless years of tempering over a long period of time. It was just like cultivating an Immortal Spirit.
So.
Lord Ma was not in a hurry.
Moreover.
The Golden Crow Li family might come knocking on his door at any time. He was not in the mood to temper an immortal weapon. He could only consolidate his cultivation first.
At that time, if the Golden Crow Li family really came knocking on his door, he would take a look at the situation first. If it really did not work, he would fight with those bastards.
Lord Ma really had such a plan.
It was not that he did not want to run. If he could run, he would have run long ago. He would not stay here and be afraid.
Looking at the bedroom of the carriage, Lord Ma was full of admiration for Gu Qingfeng.
The Golden Crow Li family would come knocking on his door at any time. How could he sleep?
He really couldn't understand why this old master's heart was so big.
Relying on the immortal talismans in his hand?
Or relying on the Little Luo Secret Realm?
They were all unreliable!
They were not a match for the Golden Crow Li family at all.
Sigh!
Lord Ma shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He thought that it was better to rely on himself than anyone else.
But then again.
It was useless to rely on himself.
With his little ability, he could still fight with those people in the Golden Crow Secret Realm. But if he fought with those noble young masters of the Golden Crow Li family, he would only be beaten.
Although Lord Ma was also a Golden Immortal.
It sounded pretty good.
But that was just how it sounded.
Not to mention the Grand Wilderness, not to mention the Bipolar Heavenly Domain, even in this Wind Moon Small World, there were a bunch of Golden Immortals. It was not a rare thing.
In the past ten thousand years, as long as one was not a fool and did not use immortal stones, one could slowly become a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
This was not an exaggeration at all. Lord Ma was a very good example. He did not come from a big family, and he did not have any immortal stones to spend. All his cultivation resources were accumulated over time by himself, and he slowly cultivated to become a Golden Immortal.
The Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was a hurdle, but also a mountain.
Ninety percent of the immortals in the great wilderness were trapped on Mount Exalted. Some had been trapped for a hundred years, while others had been trapped for a thousand years. Some had even been trapped for ten thousand years, while others had been trapped for tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand years. Crossing the mountain was harder than ascending to the heavens.
There was a saying that Mount Exalted had eighty-one layers of heavens.
One layer of heavens led to ten layers of realms, one layer of realms led to a hundred layers of realms, one layer of realms led to a thousand layers of connection, one layer of connection led to ten thousand layers of mystery, and one layer of mystery led to a hundred million layers of mystery.
This meant that each layer of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal contained ten layers of realms, a hundred layers of realms, a thousand layers of connection, ten thousand layers of mystery, and a hundred million layers of mystery.
One could only imagine how difficult it was to break through one layer of heavens.
The path of the immortal dao.
True immortals, august immortals, and even golden immortals might be able to do so, or they could use all sorts of resources.
But at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, it was impossible to do so by relying on hard work or resources.
Becoming a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal depended on one's aptitude and comprehension, as well as one's fortune and opportunities.
If one's aptitude wasn't good enough, they wouldn't be able to do so in a hundred thousand years. If one's comprehension wasn't good enough, they wouldn't be able to do so no matter how many resources they threw at them.
Lord Ma had cultivated for more than a thousand years, but he'd only reached the sixth layer of the third layer of heavens on Mount Exalted. And that was only because he'd been lucky enough to have encountered a decent fortuitous encounter that he was able to reach his current level of cultivation.
One had to know that most of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals who'd made their debut at the same time as him were still stuck at the first layer of heavens, or at most, the second.
Lord Ma had been able to thrive in the Golden Crow Mystic Realm all those years ago because of his superior cultivation compared to other mortal immortals.
However.
Cultivation was only a standard for a person's strength. Apart from that, one's fortune, mystic arts, and treasures were also important.
Fortune was something that could only be chanced upon by chance.
Most people didn't have it at all.
Lord Ma had cultivated for more than a thousand years, but he didn't even know what fortune was.
Therefore.
Most of the time, it depended on one's mystic arts, mystic arts, immortal weapons, and treasures.
Mystic arts and mystic arts had a higher requirement for talent and comprehension, so it wasn't easy to cultivate them. Although Lord Ma had cultivated a few mystic arts and mystic arts over the years, most of them were just small tricks that couldn't be put on the big stage. Only the Bahuang Sword Art could be considered decent. Lord Ma had also relied on the Bahuang Sword Art to make a living out of it all these years.
But that wasn't important.
What was important was that ever since Lord Ma got addicted to gambling, he'd lost almost all his treasures. The only flying sword he had left was also a defective item that would malfunction from time to time.
In his current situation, even if he met a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal who was at a lower realm than him, he wouldn't be a match for him if the other party's immortal weapon was better.
A better quality immortal weapon could definitely greatly enhance his strength. If it was a graded immortal weapon, even if it was just a low-grade one, its power couldn't be underestimated.
For example, if Lord Ma had successfully refined the low-grade innate greatsword that Gu Qingfeng bought for him, he wouldn't have been at a disadvantage against a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal at the Sixth Stage of the Third Heaven with his cultivation base at the Sixth Stage of the Third Heaven. However, it would be difficult for him to face a Perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
As for a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal at the Fourth Heaven, it was needless to say.
The difference between each Heaven of the Daluo Mountain didn't sound big, but it was just a matter of appearance. In fact, the gap between the two was even bigger than the gap between Ascendant Immortals and Golden Immortals, or even the gap between Golden Immortals and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
This was because there were eighty-one Heavenly Layers in Daluo Mountain. Every time one broke through a Heavenly Layer, the Immortal Spirit and even the physical body would change accordingly. This change wasn't a quantitative one, but a qualitative one. The First Heaven of Daluo Mountain was called the Minor Righteous Heaven, the Second Heaven was called the Li Yan Heaven, the Third Heaven was called the Pure Star Heaven, and the Fourth Heaven was called the Illusory Radiance Heaven.
A Second Heaven Golden Immortal could fight two or three Perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals at the First Heaven without being at a disadvantage.
A Third Heaven Golden Immortal could crush two or three Perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals at the First Heaven.
A Fourth Heaven Golden Immortal could kill two or three Perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals at the First Heaven!
Under normal circumstances, the higher the realm, the stronger the Immortal Spirit and the stronger the Immortal Dharma.
It was very difficult to make up for the gap with an innate grade immortal weapon alone.
Of course.
Nothing was absolute in this world.
A First Heaven Perfected Golden Immortal with an innate grade immortal weapon might be able to defeat a Second Heaven Perfected Golden Immortal.
In the great wilderness, anything was possible. A First Heaven Golden Immortal could rely on his great fortune to suppress a Second Heaven Golden Immortal to the point that he couldn't move. It wasn't unheard of for a First Heaven Golden Immortal to kill a Third Heaven Golden Immortal with an innate grade immortal weapon.
