Chapter 613: Chapter 284: Condensing into One Qi_2

Even causing the five elements’ gathered earth energy, which was not easy to condense, to collapse again was not impossible.

Lu Yuan would naturally not do such a terrifying thing.

“So, this is what it feels like to condense one Qi and enter the Immortal Path?”

Lu Yuan lifted his right hand, and a pale yellow mana surged out of his palm.

This mana was pure and dense, almost twice as thick and clear as the mana he had previously condensed, and many times stronger.

This was almost equivalent to a sublimation of strength.

Just like the previous transformation of Martial Internal Strength into Innate zhenqi in martial arts, the whole level of sublimation was the same.

Now, from being a cultivator with mana to breaking through to a cultivator with one Qi condensed, the power transformation brought about was almost like changing to a different energy level.

It was precisely because of this transformation that Lu Yuan realized that his former self, although he possessed mana and could release spells, was actually far from a true cultivator.

At most, he could only be considered an ordinary person who knew one or two spells, and he was not even considered a side path in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Only at this moment, when he condensed the Earth Qi from the Five Elements, and one of the Five Elements’ Qi was obtained, did he knock on the door of the Immortal Sect, and took the initial step into the Immortal Path.

Afterward, he only needed to continue condensing the Qi of the Five Elements, successively replenishing the Qi of water, fire, wood, and gold, and eventually achieving the Five Qi Towards Primordial, which would lead to the flowers above the head. Only then could he be considered to have accomplished the Immortal Method, become a True Person, and be called an Immortal.

“The Immortal Path is endless. Since I have traveled through the two worlds, I first cultivated martial arts and then cultivated immortality. After searching for twenty-four years, I finally entered the Immortal Sect. Hahaha, happy, hahaha–”

Feeling the cheering and jumping of countless cells in his body, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but rise and burst into laughter, feeling extremely happy in his heart.

Condensing the Qi of the Five Elements was not only a sign that he had opened the door to the Immortal Sect, but it also meant that he had reached the true peak of strength in the world of the Nine Provinces at present.

This was different from the Inborn Grandmaster.

Although on the surface, an Inborn Grandmaster was already the pinnacle of the world, unbeatable in the world, it was only the limit of martial arts, and invincible in martial arts alone.

Beyond martial arts, there was the Immortal Method.

And the third realm Grandmaster, who represented the pinnacle of martial arts, only had the strength to compare with the entry level of the Immortal Method, which was the same as the cultivation achieved by Lu Yuan at this time.

The gap between martial arts and the Immortal Method was as different as clouds and mud, as distant as heaven and earth.

Moreover, more realistically, among the nine provinces and ten domains of today, there has been no news of any Martial Arts Grandmaster breaking through the third realm and becoming a Great Grandmaster, one of the Earthly Gods and Immortals.

This means that the realm of the Great Grandmaster, which symbolizes the limit of martial arts, still exists only in theory, and there is not a single person who can truly cultivate it.

On the contrary, the condensing of one Qi in the realm of entry into the Immortal Method has been achieved by six Daoist sects in the three provinces of Yong, Yang, and Qing, as well as the overseas domain of the East Sea, as far as Lu Yuan knows.

And besides the Daoist sects, there seemed to be three Buddhist sects with monks at this level of strength.

However, those three Buddhist sects seemed to be located tens of thousands of miles away from Yangzhou, in the three provinces of Yan, Yu, and Liang, too distant to attract Lu Yuan’s attention.

As for the remaining provinces and other domains, whether there are similar sect inheritance at the same level, Lu Yuan is not very clear.

“But the original Ziyun Dao master said that nowadays, all the great Immortal Sects and Daoist schools in the world need to borrow the power of the Cave World in order to swallow the auras of Heaven and Earth.”

And the Cave Worlds that can assist cultivators to inhale the already gradually scarce Immortal Spirit Qi, solidified and hidden in the Heavenly Vault, are only the top ten.

And these top ten Cave Worlds are respectively occupied by the various Daoist and Buddhist schools, with cultivators who have condensed one Qi sitting in them, and outsiders simply cannot seize them.

To occupy, one must either destroy or embark on a never-ending war between cultivators.

But this is also somewhat unreasonable.

The land of the Nine Provinces is vast, and only the Daoist sects of Yong, Yang, Qing provinces, and the overseas domain occupy six Cave Worlds. The Buddhist sects of Yan, Yu, and Liang provinces take up another three.

What about the remaining Xu, Ji, and Jing provinces?

There must be inheritances at the same level on this vast land, spanning tens of thousands of miles, right?

Then, what are the means by which these sect inheritances and powers obtain the Immortal Spirit Qi from the Heavenly Vault?”

After feeling overjoyed, Lu Yuan calmed down and thought of this issue.

Of course, he would not be arrogant enough to think that among the billions of people in the Nine Provinces and Ten Domains, only he was special, able to bypass the Cave Worlds and obtain the Immortal Spirit power from the Heavenly Vault by himself.

Just like the Dan Ding Path.

Although the other party had a Cave World, they were still exploring alternatives in the face of the ever-dwindling Immortal Spirit Qi, and ended up with somewhat heretical methods like the Taiping Dao Book.

Not until they could find another way, outside of the Cave Worlds, to tap into the Immortal Spirit Qi in the Heavenly Vault.

There is no reason why other sects or powers at the same level would not have the same means()

“Perhaps beyond the top ten Cave Worlds, the remaining inherited Immortal Sect powers can also find other ways to tap into the Immortal Spirit Qi, just as I do with the Heavenly Pillars.”

“Just do not know what those methods are.”

“If I can get ahold of them, combined with the Luck Heavenly Pillar, maybe I can get more Immortal Spirit Qi quotas in this End-of-the-World competition for Immortal Spirit Qi.”

“To take a further step in my End-of-the-World Immortal Path.”
