Yellow Court Daoist

"Earth Immortal."

"Indescribable."

Lu Qingfeng circulates the Great Method, traversing the Longevity Mist. Focused solely on moving forward, deaf to all else. With each step taken, with each layer of mist dispelled, the aura about him grows stronger.

His eyes shine with spirit light.

He can see, right there ahead, an Immortal Gate emitting golden light towering before him.

"Step across!"

"Step across!"

The moment he steps across, he will become an Earth Immortal.

The Great Method is in motion.

Mana surges.

The Primordial Spirit metamorphoses.

The flesh attains the Tong Xuan.

Everything is ascending, everything is transforming.

Lu Qingfeng has cultivated in the Primordial for eighteen incarnations, a total of 120,878 years, nearly the span of a Yuan. At last, he's reached this step.

The forty-eight Yuanhui's power converges.

Each thread of mana embodies Lu Qingfeng's understanding of cultivation, of the Dao. In one moment it becomes a talisman, in another, it becomes Sword Qi, and yet again it transforms into wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

All of these.

Are the embodiments of manifested Dao ability.

As the mana intertwines, constantly evolving, it gradually forms a chaotic breath.

The breath is mysterious.

One look, and it feels as if the evolution of heaven and earth is unfolding before one's eyes.

The mysterious breath pulls and shakes, causing Lu Qingfeng's Primordial Spirit to shatter in an instant, a great pain sweeping over him. The once concentrated Primordial Spirit turns into the purest particles, scattering into every limb and part of the body.

Constantly intertwining.

Constantly merging.

A wild power sweeps through, shattering every bone and flesh of Lu Qingfeng.

Within the Green Bamboo Cave.

Lu Qingfeng sits cross-legged, his flesh gathering and dispersing, occasionally reverting to his true form, a stalk of green bamboo, caught in a ceaseless cycle.

But the mysterious breath grows increasingly ferocious.

The Longevity Mist.

Lu Qingfeng sometimes transforms into the Flame Demon God, burning through the mist.

At times, he becomes the Ru Shou Demon God, with thousands of swords piercing the sky.

At times, he becomes the Emperor Jiang Demon God, flashing erratically, advancing by leaps and bounds.

As he moves forward.

Mana is consumed.

The closer he gets to the Immortal Gate, the faster the mana is drained. The Primordial Spirit and the flesh, in their cycle of gathering and dispersing, also face unimaginable pressure.

The Earth Immortal Dao Fruit.

Is the seat of Longevity.

The flesh, mana, and Primordial Spirit must all reach the pinnacle of the mundane to make this gambit.

The process of impacting the Earth Immortal is the process of testing.

Essence, Qi, Spirit.

Like a barrel, any shortcoming in the three aspects means failure.

If you can't endure, you won't die, but you'll be injured!

Like the 'Little Shu Mountain Realm.'

Although the cultivation speed is divine, it is only Dao ability. The flesh and mana are shortcomings, and the Primordial Spirit is not as concentrated as a normal cultivation. Therefore, it must withstand numerous tribulations, constantly hammered and tempered until the quality is extremely high, gradually compensating for the frailties of the flesh and Primordial Spirit. Only mana is considerably lacking.

But if one consumes spiritual elixirs, there will be no shortcomings.

They can impact the Earth Immortal.

Lu Qingfeng's foundation is solid.

His flesh is mighty.

His mana is profound.

His Primordial Spirit is firm.

Walking through the Longevity Mist, he is indeed at ease. Only when the Longevity Immortal Gate is within reach, when only a few steps away, does he begin to feel strained.

But it is merely a strain.

The twelve Demon Gods transform, ultimately reverting to Lu Qingfeng's true form—

A stalk of green bamboo appears, branches swaying, leaves fluttering, wildly growing.

In just an instant.

Boom!

The Immortal Gate shatters.

Countless mysteries descend upon him.

"Earth Immortal Dao Fruit!"

At that moment, Lu Qingfeng feels as if he has shed all his restraints, from now on the world is his to roam freely, filled with great joy and liberation.

Mana surges.

The heavens and the four directions bestow fortune upon him, with golden light dazzling.

Lu Qingfeng greedily consumes it all, his mana skyrocketing in a moment.

A speck of Pure Yang within his Primordial Spirit emerges, sweeping out in an instant, illuminating the sea of consciousness.

It's like the initial opening of heaven and earth, a loud bang, and within the sea of consciousness, the separation of heaven and earth occurs, chaos descends, constantly ingesting mana and Divine Thought, absorbing all the mysteries coming from all directions.

The Flame Dao.

The Water Element Dao.

...

The Space Dao.

The Time Dao.

The twelve layers of the Dutian Dao continue to be comprehended, rapidly elevating his Dao realm.

This is creation, and this is reward.

Lu Qingfeng remained in the True Immortal Realm for tens of thousands of years, contemplating the Dutian Dao, and finally, he reaps the rewards. Previously limited by his cultivation stage, the more difficult the contemplation of the Dutian Dao became, and now it leaps forward in an instant.

The hardship of True Immortal.

Not only made it easy for Lu Qingfeng to ascend to Earth Immortal like drinking water, but it also allowed him to take great strides as soon as he ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm, saving more than a hundred thousand years of arduous cultivation.

The twelve Dao comprehensions are still entangling.

The Five Elements Dao is achieved with Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Time and Space achieve the Space-Time Dao.

Wind, Rain, Thunder, Lightning achieve...

The Dutian Dao is difficult to practice, but it preserves all phenomena. Once the Dao is achieved, the bitterness turns to sweetness, endless joy.

The Longevity Mist dissipates.

The Longevity Immortal Gate shatters,

The twelve Demon Gods of the Longevity Realm manifest, wielding Divine Skills, with Earth, Water, Wind, Fire churning in unison. Gods and Demons mix in the world, stirring the Dharma Realm into chaos, an image of creating the heavens and splitting the earth.

"Converge!"

With fortune blessing his heart, Lu Qingfeng lets out a roar in his mind, and the twelve Demon Gods immediately converge, forming a towering young boy. The boy holds the green bamboo staff in his hand, and casually waves it into the turmoil of chaos—

Boom!

Rolling thunder!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chaos vibrated, and light suddenly emerged.

Then it was devoured by the dark chaos again.

"Open!"

The young boy exerted himself, his green bamboo staff repeatedly smashing into chaos.

Boom!

The thunderous voices roared.

Seizing the moment when the young boy was fully concentrated, another outer demon attacked, aiming to destroy the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit.

"Who can stop me?!"

The young boy shouted angrily.

He waved the green bamboo staff in his hand so fiercely that not even the wind could penetrate.

Three thousand outer demons bled and fell into chaos. The young boy's hands didn't stop, and, enraged, he struck once more, slamming the bamboo staff into the chaos.

With a loud bang, the homogeneous chaos gradually began to separate.

The light and clear rose slowly, becoming heaven; while the heavy and turbid descended slowly, becoming earth.

The heavens were newly opened.

The earth was newly formed.

And so the cycles of creation repeated.

The young boy frowned, tossing the green bamboo staff in his hand that landed in the center of the earth, turning into Qing Peak.

The mountain was filled with green bamboo.

Day after day.

Year after year.

Qing Peak grew taller and taller, and so did the heavens.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

The young boy listened as if to the Dao, his face filled with joy.

His body burst open, and out emerged twelve demon gods.

Emperor Jiang Demon God dissipating without a trace, solidified the void; Houtu Demon God turned to dust, solidifying the earth.

Ju Mang Demon God turned into plants, Ru Shou Demon God turned into metals and stones, Gonggong Demon God became lakes and seas.

Zhu Rong Demon God scattered into flames, becoming Heavenly Fire and Earth Fire.

Tian Wu Demon God blew into wind, Qiang Liang Demon God transformed into thunder, Xi Zi Demon God sighed into lightning, Xuanming Demon God exhaled rain, and Shebi Corpse Demon God scattered into the vast sky.

Candle Nine Yin's eyes opened and closed.

Its sleeping brought darkness, its seeing brought light, dividing day from night. One eye became the sun, the other the moon. Sun and moon alternated, time flowed.

Since then,

heaven and earth evolved, rolling forward inexorably.

One year.

One hundred years.

One thousand years.

Mountains and rivers kept changing, sun and moon kept rising and setting.

After who knows how long, the earth brimmed with more and more life, gradually life spirits embodied the Dao and manifested.

First were the demons.

During the chaos of creation, three thousand outer demons bled, entwined in the new world. Their blood mixed with turbid air, forming fierce beasts. The remnants of their bodies sprouted spiritual wisdom, turning into three thousand innate gods and demons.

Continuous strife ensued.

Then pure Qi gave rise to transformations.

Within the flames, fire spirits were born. In the plants, plant spirits appeared. In the thunder and lightning, thunder and lightning spirits emerged...

They were originally pure.

But as they interacted and evolved generation after generation, they developed spiritual wisdom. Once wisdom arose, minds became complex, and chaos ensued. Thus, heaven and earth fought, water and fire clashed, spirits and demons battled, and great wars charred every corner of the cosmos.

...

"Hmm."

Green Bamboo Cave.

Lu Qingfeng stretched his body, feeling a sense of lightness all over. Looking closely, he could vaguely see a trace of spirit light embedded within his flesh. Gathering, then manifesting behind his head—

This was the 'Undying Spirit Light'!

With the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit achieved and the Undying Spirit Light gathered, from now on he would be above the Three Realms and beyond the Five Elements, free from the suffering of reincarnation, enjoying immortal blessings and a lifespan equal to heaven!

"Earth Immortal achieved."

"Blessed Land opened."

"In a flash, thirty thousand years have passed, and three years have gone by in the Earth Immortal Realm."

Lu Qingfeng stood up, feeling as if he had been disconnected from the world.

Three years ago, he successfully became an Earth Immortal in one fell swoop and even opened a Blessed Land on the spot due to his solid foundation and profound resources, stepping into the First Level of the Earth Immortal Realm—the Dust-clearing Realm.

Heaven descended a gift of fate.

Lu Qingfeng indulged in perception, advancing by leaps and bounds in the newly formed Blessed Land.

Candle Nine Yin Demon God, with control over time, manifested mystery and accelerated time. Outside, three years passed, but within the Blessed Land, thirty thousand years had already gone by.

"Pity."

"The creation is finite, unable to endure forever. With my current Dao ability and considering the scale of the Blessed Land, I can only maintain a tenfold acceleration."

Maintaining a speed difference of ten thousand times was beyond Lu Qingfeng's ability.

Forcing it could collapse the Blessed Land in an instant.

But after ascending to Earth Immortal, and within the Blessed Land, maintaining a tenfold speed of time was not difficult. Even outside of it, he could accelerate time in a local area.

He had touched the threshold of the Time Dao.

Speeding up, slowing down, halting.

All at a single thought.

This was one of the supreme Daos, and as Lu Qingfeng cultivated the Dutian Great Method, he was not only involved in time, space, but could even glimpse the full picture of the Space-Time Dao one day in the future.

Looking inward at his own body.

He saw his flesh and Tongxuan Primordial Spirit of Pure Yang, every movement connected to the vast nothingness. Mysterious essence continued to descend, above even Immortal Energy, constantly nourishing his flesh, his Primordial Spirit, and expanding his Mana.

His strength was improved, far beyond what a True Immortal could compare!

Observing the Blessed Land further.

The three-thousand-mile-radius Blessed Land was a hundred times larger than the one Lin Ye had created when he achieved Earth Immortal.

Heaven was heaven, earth was earth, both were incredibly stable.

Even the innate and natural elements had evolved, creating twelve kinds of 'Innate Creatures'. Constantly combining, colliding, spawning even more bizarre Postnatal Creatures.

Both the Earth Immortal calamities and the cataclysms of the opening of heaven and earth manifested, giving rise to the 'Innate Gods and Demons', 'Postnatal Fierce Beasts' that evolved from the annihilation of the three thousand outer demons.

This made the three thousand miles of Blessed Land extraordinarily lively.

At the edge of the Blessed Land, there was still chaos, but it was slowly expanding outward. Mysterious Qi kept seeping in from the edges, quickly consumed by the Blessed Land, turning into heaven and earth. It was then scattered by the rules into strands of Spiritual Energy, Immortal Spirit Qi.

Innate Creatures fed on Innate Immortal Qi to live.

Postnatal Creatures fed on Postnatal Spiritual Energy.

This evolution was far stronger than the ordinary Earth Immortals who evolved their Blessed Land from their Daoist Fields, turning mortal land into immortal land. The former opened directly from chaos, evolving from the Longevity Realm, embodying Innate True Intent. The latter was tainted by Postnatal life, and even the creatures inside were mostly transplants from the outside world, losing a crucial layer of perception.

The Immortal Dao is a long and arduous journey.

This one difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Lu Qingfeng glanced over the Blessed Land, overjoyed—

"Three thousand miles have been opened up between heaven and earth."

"My Dao is complete!"
