It is the existence of the holy beast Qilin, Empress Nuwa and Empress Houtu that have firmly blocked Zhen Yuanzi's progress, making it impossible for him to achieve enlightenment so far.
If Zhen Yuanzi wants to become enlightened, he must move to these three beings who have set foot on the holy path. However, if Zhen Yuanzi had this ability, why would there be no movement at all to this day?
He couldn't move any of these three powerful saints, let alone move three of them at the same time.
Zhen Yuanzi knew that as long as these three people were around, it would be impossible for him to achieve enlightenment by becoming the Lord of the Earth.
If you want to become enlightened, you have to find another way.
A living person can't hold his urine to death. Zhen Yuanzi thought about it, and it really made him think of another way to enlightenment.
At that time, the prehistoric times were shattered, and there was nothing left on the earth. Zhen Yuanzi looked at the ruined mountains and rivers, and the devastated earth. He felt something in his heart for a moment, integrated everything he had learned, and understood the way of the Earth Immortal.
What is an Earth Immortal?
One person and one mountain stand on the earth, live forever, and are immortal throughout the ages!
Cultivation places in the world can be divided into five levels from bottom to top, namely spiritual land, fairyland, blessed land, cave heaven, and holy land.
The Earth Immortal Way pioneered by Zhen Yuanzi is related to this, and can be called the method of evolving the cave heaven and blessed earth.
At the beginning of cultivation, a monk looks for a spiritual vein, blends with it, puts his own Tao fruit on it, and grows with this spiritual vein.
The Dao Fruit and the spiritual veins are completely integrated into one, mastering the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy, and turning all the nearby ten miles of land into a spiritual realm. This is the way of the Earth Immortal.
The next path of cultivation is to try every means to strengthen one's spiritual realm, expand it to a radius of thousands of miles, and promote it to the immortal realm. This will be regarded as becoming an immortal.
After that, the Immortal Realm will be promoted to a Blessed Land, and the realm will enter the level of the Innate Taoist Lord.
If the blessed land is perfect, self-contained, turned into a cave, hanging high above the heavens, and appearing in the past, present and future at the same time, then the master of the cave will transcend the river of fate and enter the realm of the innate Taoist.
If Dongtian transcends the long river of time and is in the past, present and future, but not in the past, present and future, that is, it is everywhere and nowhere, and appears in the chaos outside the sky, it means that the Lord of Dongtian has entered the realm of quasi-sage.
If the cave heaven leaves the chaos outside the sky, appears in the great chaos outside the world, and completely transcends heaven and earth, it will transform into a holy land, and the cultivation of the owner of the holy land will also reach the realm of Hunyuan.
It was precisely because he created the way of the Earthly Immortal that Zhen Yuanzi found another way to enlightenment.
Since you can't become the Lord of the Earth, then find a way to open up a holy land. The master who is in charge of a holy land can also enter the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
However, this is easier said than done.
How can it be so easy to create something out of nothing and directly create a holy land? This is simply more difficult than refining an innate treasure, and it is simply not something Zhen Yuanzi can do.
The difficulty of opening up a holy land is only slightly worse than refining a Hunyuan-level artifact in Jiang Chen's artifact system, which means opening up a whole world.
Under normal circumstances, if you want to open up a world, you need a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal to sacrifice yourself.
And Jiang Chen was able to open up the world, but he still used a tricky method and directly swallowed the boundless starry sky. Only then was he able to succeed.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for Zhen Yuanzi to create a holy land out of nothing. If he has this ability, he will not be unable to achieve enlightenment.
However, Jiang Chen was able to open up the world by using the tricky method of devouring and shattering the boundless starry sky. That Zhen Yuanzi could also think of clever ways.
The way Zhen Yuanzi came up with was to devour the broken ancient land and then use it as a basis to evolve a holy land.
If you can't make something out of nothing, then pick something ready-made. No matter how severely broken the prehistoric land is, its origins are extremely strong. It is more than enough to evolve into a holy land.
Zhen Yuanzi thought that if he refined all the four continents and turned them into his own holy land, wouldn't he be able to achieve enlightenment?
For this reason, Zhen Yuanzi even thought of the name of the future holy land, and called it the Earth Immortal Realm! That's right, it was the immortal world of Jiang Chen's previous life.
If the earthly immortal world is really to be born, Zhen Yuanzi will pass on the earthly immortal way. At that time, there will be countless earthly immortals to help him practice.
It won't be long before his cultivation will not only catch up with the Six Saints, but even surpass them and catch up with the Taoist Ancestor. At that time, his name as the Earth Immortal Ancestor will become worthy of the name.
Why are there countless Earth Immortals to assist Zhen Yuanzi in his cultivation? This has to mention the characteristics of the Earth Immortal Way. The foundation of the Earth Immortal Way lies in the spiritual realm and fairyland that he has opened up, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land. This is the Dao Fruit of Earth Immortal. The stronger they are, the stronger their master will be.
Zhen Yuanzi refined the prehistoric land into his own holy land. After that, when the earthly immortal monks opened up the spiritual realm, they placed their own Dao fruits on Zhen Yuanzi's Dao fruit.
Or to put it simply, the entire Earth Immortal Way is the Tao Fruit of Zhen Yuanzi. Naturally, the greater the number of Earth Immortals, the more powerful the Dao Fruit, and the stronger the Earth Immortal Ancestor will be.
This is the difference between the way of earthly immortals and the way of artifacts.
The way of the Earth Immortal is to open up the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and no matter how powerful the Cave Heaven Blessed Land is, it is always within the scope of heaven and earth and is ruled by the way of heaven. In essence, it is to plunder the resources of chaos to strengthen heaven and earth.
Therefore, the way of the Earthly Immortal can also be called the path of the Earthly Immortal of Merit, which is favored by Heaven.
This is not the case with the way of divine weapons. The intention is to harm the world and enrich oneself, which is of course disliked by the world. No matter how powerful the way of divine weapons is, in the eyes of heaven, it is far inferior to the way of earthly immortals.
However, the way of the Earth Immortal also has a fatal flaw, that is, no matter how amazing and talented the later generations are, they cannot surpass the ancestors of the Earth Immortal.
Your own Dao Fruit is part of the Earth Immortal Ancestor. The stronger you are, the more benefits he will receive. How can you defeat him?
In other words, the meaning of the existence of countless earth immortals is to become the ancestors of earth immortals.
No wonder Zhen Yuanzi dared to say that as long as the Earthly Immortal World is born, his cultivation will soon catch up with the Six Saints, or even surpass them and catch up with the Taoist Ancestor.
Billions of earthly immortals working together to increase his power can indeed push his cultivation to an extremely astonishing level.
This was Zhen Yuanzi's plan to refine the prehistoric land into the Earth Immortal Realm, and it also contained his huge ambition.
He simply didn't care about the Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian or the saint. His real purpose was to make the title of the ancestor of the Earth Immortal worthy of the name and become an existence comparable to the Tao Ancestor.
If his plan succeeds, both Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and saints will have to stand aside, unable to compete with him, and can only fall behind.
In order to realize his huge ambition and not be noticed by others, Zhen Yuanzi really gave up a lot for this.
For example, he has clearly created the way of the Earth Immortal, and can pass it down at any time, become an Immortal Ancestor, and gain stronger power.
But unfortunately, in order to prevent his ambition from being seen through, and to prevent others from seeing his plan, he held back.
He did not pass down the Way of the Earth Immortal, and even released the news to the outside world. He failed to live up to the expectations of all his fellow Taoists. He has not yet been able to understand the Way of the Earth Immortal. It is because of his incompetence...
If Zhen Yuanzi teaches the way of the Earth Immortal, the benefits it will bring to him are not just as simple as becoming an Immortal Ancestor and improving his luck. It will even allow him to obtain the Heavenly Scroll, and even becoming the seventh saint may not be possible.
There is no other reason, it is really because the way of the Earth Immortal is too special. In the ancient times, the way of earthly immortals may not be that important, but since the ancient times, the way of earthly immortals has become particularly important.
Because its essence is to repair the broken world.
The path of the Earth Immortal evolved into the Blessed Land of Cave Heaven. The meaning of the existence of that Blessed Land was to repair the broken prehistoric land. The meaning of the existence of the cave is to repair the broken ancient world.
Therefore, after the ancient times, the way of the Earth Immortal simply came into being and played a great role in restoring the ancient world. Once it appears in the world, it will definitely be favored by Heaven, and great prosperity is inevitable.
It is not impossible to overshadow the immortal way and become the leader of heaven and earth.
The Way of the Earthly Immortal has such an important role. To say that it can give birth to a saint is not exaggerating at all, and it even underestimates him.
But in the face of such benefits, Zhen Yuanzi actually endured it. It has to be said that when it comes to forbearance, Zhen Yuanzi is the best in history. He is willing to humble himself and be small, just to be able to stand above the saints in the future.
Is becoming a saint what Zhen Yuanzi wants?
What is good about saints? It would only be one saint, but there are seven saints in heaven and earth.
】
If you want to do it, be the first. If you are not the first, then don’t do it.
Therefore, he, Zhen Yuanzi, disdained becoming a saint and only wanted to be above the saints.
However, although Zhen Yuanzi's ambition is great, how can he do it alone if he wants to refine the ancient land and turn it into the earthly immortal world?
Not to mention that the saint would not allow him to do this, even the many races living in the ancient land would not let him do so.
Good fellow, we live well on the earth. For your own ambition, you, Zhen Yuanzi, want to take away our home and turn it into your own territory.
If Zhen Yuanzi really succeeds, then all the people who used to look at the sky for food will have to look at Zhen Yuanzi for food in the future.
Who can bear this?
No matter how big the conflict is, many races on the earth will temporarily abandon it and gather all their forces to jointly target Zhen Yuanzi.
In such a situation, it is useless no matter how many friends Zhen Yuanzi has. They dare not risk the disapproval of the world to help Zhen Yuanzi.
It can be said that there is no chance of success in this matter.
Zhen Yuanzi himself knew this, so he came up with a plan to create a fairyland.
Under the guise of creating a fairy world, he united a group of great supernatural powers for his use.
There is nothing wrong with the plan to build a fairyland, and there can be no problems. If there really were problems, there wouldn't be so many great supernatural powers responding to it.
The effect is just as Zhen Yuanzi said. Once successful, everyone involved in the plan will have the opportunity to be promoted to Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.
However, what many people don't know is that Zhen Yuanzi's plan is included in the plan to build the fairy world.
After the fairy world is successfully built, in the imagination of the great supernatural power, all the immortals will enter it, and the human world will naturally be empty.
At that time, Zhen Yuanzi can take this opportunity to enter the master's world and refine the ancient land into the earthly immortal world. At this time, even if someone sees Zhen Yuanzi's plan, they can't stop him.
After the birth of the Immortal World, I don’t know how many people with great supernatural powers will owe Zhen Yuanzi favors. Under such circumstances, how could they prevent Zhen Yuanzi from becoming a Taoist?
Not only will he not stop him, he will even protect him and try his best to help him achieve enlightenment, thus ending the cause and effect in the immortal world.
This is the big picture for Zhen Yuanzi. The plan to build the immortal world is an upright conspiracy, which has benefited many powerful practitioners of Xuanmen, so that they have to stand on his side and help him achieve enlightenment.
Even if Zhen Yuanzi's purpose is exposed now, it will not affect his plan. Because the plan to create a fairy world can benefit everyone, it is real and cannot be faked.
…
"Jiang Chen, I don't want to be your enemy, but don't force me!"
In the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain, Zhen Yuanzi murmured to himself, with an indescribable solemnity in his eyes.
After recalling the past with Hongyun, Zhen Yuanzi began to think about his future, and then he thought of the biggest obstacle on his way to becoming the Lord of the Boundless Starry Sky, Jiang Chen!
How could Zhen Yuanzi not know how powerful Star Lord Jiang Chen was? He really didn't want to face Jiang Chen unless he had to.
But now, it's not that he wants to confront Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen insists on confronting him.
His carefully planned plan to create a fairy world was about to succeed, and he was about to reap the fruits of victory.
But it happened that at such an important juncture, Jiang Chen suddenly intervened and wanted to reshape the ancient world and recreate the glory of the ancient world. This was simply to force Zhen Yuanzi to die!
The goal of standing above the saints was right in front of him, but he was suddenly interrupted by Jiang Chen. This meant that it was impossible for Zhen Yuanzi not to become an enemy of Jiang Chen.
Success is right in front of him, Zhen Yuanzi cannot give up no matter what. Therefore, no matter how strong Jiang Chen is, he still wants to compete with Jiang Chen to see whose method is more powerful.
"Before the great road, no one can stop me, not even the Star Lord! Since he insists on going his own way and reshaping the ancient world, then I have no choice but to ask him to die."
After just a moment of hesitation, Zhen Yuanzi made up his mind, he wanted Jiang Chen to die!
Because he cannot lose this battle. In order to complete this plan, he paid too much, hesitated for endless hours, and even missed the best time to pass on the earthly immortal way.
How could he lose after so much effort? He can't afford to lose, he must win!
Not to mention Jiang Chen, it was Dao Ancestor who stood in front of him and he wanted to crush him. He had no way out.
"Although Star Lord is strong, he may not be able to last long if he offends the saint."
To be honest, Zhen Yuanzi was indeed worried about Jiang Chen, but he was not too worried.
