Yellow Court Daoist

"Congratulations, my third junior brother!"

"Ascended to Earth Immortal, henceforth you shall roam free!"

Outside the Green Bamboo Cave.

Yellow Wind Great Saint and Green Fox Great Saint approached Lu Qingfeng as he walked out, loudly congratulating him in unison.

"Thank you, my two older brothers for protecting the law."

Joy endlessly brimmed on Lu Qingfeng's face as he grinned ear to ear at them.

Harnessing the Pure Yang.

Earth Immortal of Longevity.

Such were the accomplishments countless cultivators dream of yet never attain. Even Lu Qingfeng, despite wielding the profound Yellow Court Scripture, expended eighteen lifetimes and 120,000 years to achieve this.

A testament to its difficulty.

Immortal in a single bound.

How could he not rejoice?

"Congratulations to Teacher for proving the Dao of longevity!"

"Master, may your immortal blessings and lifespan reign as long as the heavens themselves!"

Lin Ye, Golden Phoenix King, and Spiritual Fox Child, also outside Green Bamboo Cave and behind the two great saints, bowed to Lu Qingfeng. Lin Ye was overcome with joy and astonishment—

Teacher possessed Infinite Divine Powers, capable of enlightening Earth Immortals at will.

And only now he ascends?!

Considering what he had heard over the past three years from various creatures in Yellow Wind Ridge about the place where his Teacher trod, he grew even more convinced of the extraordinary nature of his sect.

He felt incredibly fortunate to have become a disciple under such a master, having been a sickly, inconsequential person.

"Congratulations to the Third Great King for proving the Dao of longevity!"

Outside the Green Bamboo Cave amidst Yellow Wind Ridge, myriad demon soldiers and generals shouted in unison, the land quaking over miles for their boisterous cheer.

Lu Qingfeng's smile grew even brighter.

Yellow Wind Great Saint displayed a ruddy flush of celebration.

The Qingjing Method Bamboo ages three thousand years per one human year.

He remembered back when his junior brother first transformed into form, barely five or six in appearance, with a face like white jade and skin tenderly flushed with health. Dressed in verdant bamboo green, barefooted, he was full of vigor.

His initial bow, though somewhat comical, was sincere.

Now, in the blink of an eye, he'd grown into an adolescent.

Back then, Yellow Wind Great Saint had predicted Lu Qingfeng's ascent to Earth Immortal; countless years later, it finally came true.

Seeing this, the Great Saint laughed heartily, waving grandly—

"Serve the good wine and meat, lads."

"Today we drink heartily and feast mightily."

"No returning until we're utterly spent!"

At his words,

Cheers echoed even louder across Yellow Wind Ridge.

...

A wild celebration ensued, filled with drunken revelry.

Caverns great and small were laden with drink and flesh, and every creature in Yellow Wind Ridge drank merrily to satiation. Upon waking, they drank; when hungry, they feasted.

The aroma of alcohol and meat lingered ten days without fading.

All reveling to the fullest.

In the Green Bamboo Cave, the clamor subsided, and Lu Qingfeng put aside the joy of ascension, turning to organize his cultivation.

...

Ascending to Earth Immortal brought significant changes to his attribute panel.

Firstly, levels, Root Bone, and Life Span — these categories vanished, setting a clear divide between Immortal and Mortal—

Longevity Earth Immortal with a lifespan infinite as the heavens, free from the cycles of reincarnation.

Post-ascension to Earth Immortal, Root Bone ceased to limit cultivation entirely.

Mortal flesh versus Pure Yang immortal body.

Entirely different existences.

Beyond this,

Lu Qingfeng, before his ascension, possessed the power of forty-eight Yuanhui. Upon proving the Dao, his power surged, doubling in magnitude.

Fearing that his abilities were not far off from those of the seasoned Earth Immortals, Lu Qingfeng possessed Great Divine Powers, and having an abundance of mana was always a boon, allowing him to wield it freely without ever feeling it was too much.

"Blessed Land spans three thousand miles, where heaven and earth are distinctly separate, and the fabric of space and time is firm and stable."

"This is already the pinnacle of the Dust-clearing Realm."

"One more step and it's the opening of the origin, ascending to the second realm of Earth Immortal, the realm of 'Immortal Fate'!"

Upon reaching the realm of Immortal Fate, the Blessed Land establishes a stable connection with the Void, actively drawing upon the Chaotic Power of the Void to elevate the fundamental nature of the Blessed Land, while reciprocally nourishing the self.

When that time comes,

The Blessed Land becomes a true small world.

The Earth Immortal is like a creator god, capable of acting at will, using it to further Derive the Dao, handling it with ease. By granting Immortal Fate, decreeing a position within the Blessed Land's karma, life spirits of the Blessed Land are ordered to govern the cosmos, accelerating the draw of Chaotic Power from the Void and fortifying the foundation of the Blessed Land.

It's no longer a single person's effort,

But instead, a small world drawing strength collectively from all its creatures.

And Lu Qingfeng's Blessed Land is already showing traces of the Immortal Fate level—

Immortal Fate.

Also known as 'Immortal Origin.'

This is the second realm of Earth Immortal.

In this realm, the Earth Immortal's Blessed Land is solidified, connected to the Void, drawing upon the Chaotic Power of the Void, creating the origin of worlds, uplifting the essence of the Blessed Land. During this time, as the Blessed Land evolves, heaven and earth within unfurl, already becoming a small world, nurturing thousands of life spirits.

Heaven and Earth emerge.

All life grows.

From the appearance of life spirits, to the rudimentary exploration of the wilds, to their comprehension of the path of cultivation. A series of complete transformations ultimately build an internal cycle within the Blessed Land's small world, giving rise to countless cultivators.

These cultivators.

They are the so-called 'Immortal Fate.'

Cultivators practice within the Blessed Land, ascending repeatedly, drawing external forces of creation, aiding the constant stabilization of the Blessed Land. From nothing to something, from the Postnatal, Foundation Establishment to Primordial Spirit, True Immortal.

And this is not enough.

Achieving True Immortal through Immortal Fate, one must also pursue the 'Opportunity of Proving Dao' that emerges from the laws and the Great Dao within the Blessed Land. Only with such a destiny intertwined can one cultivate into an Earth Immortal with true fruit, enjoy everlasting longevity, and even command a portion of the Blessed Land's Great Dao rules, with a power incomparable to that of a True Immortal.

Those who become Earth Immortals within the Blessed Land, restrained by the cosmos and taking a more cunning path, differ greatly from traditional Earth Immortals. Privately, some conventional Immortals jestingly refer to these 'Earth Immortals' from the Blessed Land as 'Little Saints.'

Also called 'False Immortals.'

Back at Nine Nether Buting Mountain, Lu Qingfeng had witnessed the so-called false 'Saint Scorpion,' a being in Earth Immortal Yao Sihai's Blessed Land, whose might was exceptionally formidable, almost rivaling a real Earth Immortal.

The Blessed Land that Lu Qingfeng initially established has already bypassed several stages, leaping directly to the stage where myriad life spirits proliferate and thrive.

Just one step away, from constructing the origin,

He could ascend to the Immortal Fate Realm.

Such Divine Speed.

However, this step is also the most challenging. Especially because life spirits have already emerged within the Blessed Land, consuming too much Chaotic Power from the Void, which significantly slows down the construction of the origin.

Fortunately, Earth Immortals enjoy boundless longevity, no need to rush in this moment.

...

Proving as an Earth Immortal.

Many variations exist.

The mysteries are complex and tough to explain, even harder to comprehend in full.

But Lu Qingfeng was not focused on this.

His attention was on the "Yellow Court Scripture."

Even before his reincarnation at Yellow Wind Ridge, Lu Qingfeng had practiced the "Yellow Court Scripture" to the Fourth Level. Over the years, he had also pondered the transformations within the Fourth Level.

"Commanding all magic" and "Karma Removal" were to be approached gradually and without dispute. The main point was the change in the feature of 'Derivation Technique.'

At the First Level of the "Yellow Court Scripture," this 'Derivation Technique' had the ability to 'Derive', allowing for the 'Fusion, Strengthening, and Elevation' of various Magic Gates.

Not only was it helpful in the early phase, but even now, it was of great aid to Lu Qingfeng.

Truly a 'Divine Skill.'

Lu Qingfeng's powers and Great Divine Powers, including his main practice "Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill," were all derived from this.

At the Second Level,

The 'Derivation Technique' transformed, enabling 'Analysis' of all things.

Back in Red Smoke Realm, Lu Qingfeng had analyzed the 'Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light' and 'Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe' from the corpse of a 'Black Vein Golden Butterfly.'

Later, these were derived to the level of Great Divine Power.

After many years of cultivation, in and out of his adventures, relying heavily upon them, even now they remain two of the most frequently used Great Divine Powers in Lu Qingfeng's arsenal.

And the 'Analysis' technique was not limited to divine beasts' Divine Powers; Magic Artifacts, Immortal Artifacts, and the methods of refining Spirit Pills and Immortal Pills could also be easily analyzed. Both in reality and in his gaming life, Lu Qingfeng had replicated countless Magic Artifacts, all derived from this technique.

The uses were significant.

As for the Third Layer,

It was the 'Enlightenment' Great Method.

Deriving Great Divine Powers was easy, but if Lu Qingfeng solely relied on his own comprehension to painstakingly cultivate, he too would have ended up like other Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals, being able to grasp only one or two Divine Skills in his lifetime, ungreedy for more.

But with 'Enlightenment' at hand, the idea of 'biting off more than one can chew' didn't apply to Lu Qingfeng.

Twenty-six Great Divine Powers.

Dozens of Low-level, Middle-level, and High-level Divine Skills.

Not only were all mastered, but many of them were cultivated by Lu Qingfeng to extremely high levels.

Uttered to the outside world, it would be shockingly unbelievable.

Lu Qingfeng's achievements were all due to the 'Enlightenment' method.

And not just in the realm of Divine Powers and Great Divine Powers.

This method could also bestow fate and create others.

For instance, many of Lu Qingfeng's Disciples, especially Zheng Chi, Lin Ye, and his nominal fourth-life mentor Iron Feather Daoist, achieved Earth Immortal status solely through Lu Qingfeng's 'Enlightenment.'

Previously, the greatness of this method was evident.

It could create Earth Immortals.

But due to its many restrictions, as Wen Guang, Lin Feng, and Zhang Yang all struggled to prove their Dao, Lu Qingfeng even had a slight disdain for it.

That is until he proved as an Earth Immortal himself.

Only then did Lu Qingfeng truly realize how heaven-defying it was to 'Enlighten' a True Immortal, even a Peak True Immortal, into an Earth Immortal.

This 'heaven-defying' was not about 'rebelling against the heavens,' but a description of the difficulty within.

In reality.

How lacking were the talents of Qingyu and Qing Shan?!

Even with Lu Qingfeng's extensive management and substantial wealth, attempting to elevate them to the status of a Jiedan True Man was fiercely challenging.

But with 'Enlightenment' in hand, they were already in the league of True Men, enjoying a lifespan of three thousand years.

The method's prowess was evident.

The first three layers of the "Yellow Court Scripture" each demonstrated a diverse 'Derivation Technique.'

However, upon reaching the Fourth Layer, no particular wonder was displayed.

With no one to inquire from, Lu Qingfeng thought this normal until he attained Earth Immortal status today—

...
