Chapter 1110: The Endless Path to Immortality
The river wind whistled, rolling up the divine blood and turning the ripples into waves, rolling in all directions on the boundless divine river.
The black boat was sailing in the river. It didn't seem to be fast, but no matter how strong the wind and waves were, they couldn't stop it at all.
After the boat arrived, the big waves instantly calmed down.
It was the same with the blood rain.
It was as if the boat was the supreme treasure in the divine river, and the ferryman driving the treasure was the master of the endless blood river.
However, compared with this magnificent world, this place ā¦ was just a prison.
There was not only one ferryman, nor was there a fixed number of ferrymen. There would always be people who finished their sentences and left.
In the final analysis, they were the ones who had committed serious crimes in the immortal capital and were sent here to be punished.
But in the whole fifth star ring, few people dared to treat them as criminals. Their families didn't dare to, nor did their sects ā¦
Gradually, the ferryman's boat, with its unique fee and absolute safety, was rationally used and became a precious shelter for cultivators whose lives were hanging by a thread.
Xu Qing was a perfect example.
He sat cross-legged at the stern of the boat, and what was in his mouth was the Recovery Mark that the Fifth Grandma had given him before leaving the Moon Sacrifice Region on the Wanggu Continent.
This mark could heal all his injuries in an instant.
It could only be used once, and the price was the Fifth Grandma's vitality.
It was the old lady's blessing.
Therefore, Xu Qing wouldn't use it unless it was a last resort.
"The fifth star ring is full of dangers ā¦ With my current cultivation and battle strength, I have to be careful."
With the help of the purple crystal, Xu Qing meditated in silence, allowing the skin on his crimson body to gradually grow back.
His skin was relatively light compared to his current injuries.
Thus, in merely a day's time, Xu Qing returned to his original appearance from his terrifying appearance.
At least he didn't look so embarrassed.
However, the weakness caused by the blood burning and the Dao injury caused by the red-haired young man's last blow couldn't be healed in a short time.
"It will take a month ā¦" Xu Qing was in low spirits.
If he were on the Wanggu Continent, it would be dangerous for him to spend a month to heal, but Xu Qing had many ways to avoid and resolve it.
However, in the fifth star ring that was full of strangers and experts, countless variables and crises would occur during the one-month recovery period.
Therefore, Xu Qing made full use of every moment he had on the ship. He didn't waste the slightest bit of energy so that he could recover as much as possible once the six days were up.
After all, he had used his life to buy six days.
It was likely that there wouldn't be an absolutely safe environment for some time to come.
Just like that, three days passed.
In these three days, while Xu Qing was recuperating, the boatman in the straw raincoat and bamboo hat, other than occasionally moving the oars, spent the rest of his time sitting at the bow of the boat, puffing out clouds of smoke.
Not a single word.
However, most of the time, he would look at the sky.
He didn't know if he was looking at the aurora in the sky, the existence in the aurora, or ā¦ the void outside the aurora.
In the aurora, the fourth small vortex appeared after Xu Qing boarded the ship.
The fourth day arrived.
The boatman blew out a smoke ring and withdrew his gaze from the distant horizon. He lowered his head to look at the blood in the divine river and suddenly spoke.
"Kid, what's your name?"
Hearing this, Xu Qing opened his eyes and was about to say Yan Xuanzi's name.
"Don't tell me your fake name."
The boatman said lightly.
Xu Qing paused for a moment before replying honestly.
"Senior, junior's name is Xu Qing."
After the boatman heard this, he closed his eyes and didn't speak anymore.
Xu Qing also remembered that the boatman didn't like him to speak too much. At this moment, he didn't say anything more. He knew very well that the boatman in front of him should be the strongest person he had ever seen.
According to his understanding of the ferryman on the map, those who could be punished by the Immortal Capital were most likely Lower Immortals.
A Lower Immortal was right in front of him ā¦
Although from the outside, it didn't look like one ā¦
But he could sense the mud fox on him at a glance. The mud fox was originally sleeping, but after boarding the ship, it seemed to instinctively hide.
All of this could be seen.
Just as Xu Qing's thoughts rose, the boatman opened his eyes again, looked at the sky, and spoke again.
"Where did you come from?"
Xu Qing's heart trembled.
He tried his best to make his expression not reveal any flaws and maintain his state of mind. He spoke respectfully and made up a location according to the map he saw before.
Hearing this, the boatman sneered, but he didn't continue asking about Xu Qing's origin. Instead, he turned his head and sized up Xu Qing.
"The Seven Worlds of the Immortal Accumulation Realm have many powers, and you even have space and time. It's very extraordinary, and the cultivation method you cultivate is special. Therefore, the eighth and ninth realms are difficult to reach."
Xu Qing lowered his head. He was naturally not surprised that his cultivation method was seen through, so he silently agreed.
The boatman continued.
"Looking at the traces of your time and space method, you should have some ideas about your eighth realm."
"So even if it's difficult to reach, it's only a matter of time for you."
"Then, do you know what a Sovereign is?"
The boatman said lightly.
Xu Qing's heart trembled again and he was very surprised.
The boatman's words clearly had the intention of giving him advice ā¦
Some guesses rose in Xu Qing's heart, but he didn't have any concrete evidence. However, although he didn't know the specific reason, he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
Thus, Xu Qing took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.
"Senior, please enlighten me."
"The Sovereign Realm, which is above the Soul Accumulation Realm, is the process of forming an Immortal Embryo.
"In this process, the Immortal Dao will be born. The Immortal Dao is above the Heavenly Dao, and what it manifests is authority and Dao Marks.
"You should already know this."
The boatman's voice was calm, without the slightest ripple.
Xu Qing listened carefully and nodded.
"However, there are some things that can only be told to cultivators of the fifth ring after they reach a certain level."
The boatman glanced at Xu Qing.
"That is, the core of the Sovereign Realm!"
"Immortal embryo?" Xu Qing asked.
The boatman nodded slightly.
"Immortal embryo is also called as Indestructible Illusion Realitye."
"Illusion represents your soul, while reality represents your physical body.
"The entire Sovereign Realm is a process of alternating and blending."
This was the first time Xu Qing had heard of this, so he listened very carefully.
The boatman's voice continued.
"According to this process, the Sovereign Realm is divided into three small realms: early, middle, and late.
"The first realm is to project one's soul and form a new physical body outside one's body. This is Illusion Reality.
"At this stage, Sovereign Realm cultivators are both strong and weak.
"What's powerful is that illusion is gradually replacing reality. Thus, one's understanding of the Authorities and their control over all things have reached an unimaginable level."
"As for their weakness, it is because reality is hidden by illusion. As long as one has the means to injure reality, it is not difficult to kill them. For example, the sword energy you used before has the fundamental effect of destroying reality.
"That sword energy is quite interesting. Although it is difficult to injure a mid-stage Sovereign, the one who gave it to you is not simple."
The boatman paused for a moment, giving Xu Qing some time to think.
Xu Qing's mind was in turmoil. His intuition told him that Grandpa Ninth's sword energy might not be very effective against mid-stage Sovereigns. He received confirmation from the boatman's words.
Then, the Sovereigns he killed appeared in his mind. They were all like this, but he didn't know much about them before, so he didn't have a deep understanding of them in battle.
After a while, the boatman took a puff of his pipe, blew out smoke, and continued speaking.
"After reaching greater mastery of Illusion Reality, you can explore the second realm.
"The second level is to melt your original physical body which was originally hidden by illusion into your soul. This step is called Indestructible."
"Sovereigns at this level can switch between reality and illusion in an instant. From a certain perspective, there are almost no flaws, which is why they are undying."
"As for the third tier, it requires Authority dao marks. Dao marks are used as threads to weave one's own body, causing reality and illusion to be indestructible. Pluck a star and become the only one, thus achieving the Immortal Embryo!"
"The moment you succeed, you will become a Quasi-Immortal and also a Great Emperor."
The boatman spoke slowly.
At this point, Xu Qing's understanding of the Sovereign Realm had reached a whole new level.
However, such an opportunity was extremely rare. Thus, Xu Qing was unable to contain himself.
"Senior, how did the Quasi-Immortal Great Emperor and even the Summer Immortal perform?"
The boatman glanced at the Emperor Sword beside Xu Qing. After pondering for a moment, he spoke slowly.
"Quasi-Immortal Tier, which is also the Divine Platform Tier of Gods. The specialty of this tier is constitution!"
"Constitution is the sublimation of the dao marks of authority, it is power, will, and the source, it is the commanding power of immortals before they are truly born."
"As for Lower Immortals ā¦"
The boatman exhaled a mouthful of smoke. Within the smoke, his face that was originally covered under his bamboo hat became even more blurry.
Only his calm voice reverberated on this blood-colored divine river.
"That is the peak of the lower star ring."
"Every one of them is flawless and omnipotent."
"However, within the upper star ring, the higher-level constitution, they also have a scope."
Xu Qing took a deep breath as waves reverberated in his heart. He bowed to the boatman again.
"Senior, above Lower Immortals is ā¦"
This time, the boatman was silent for a long time, and his voice also became slightly hoarse.
"Above Lower Immortals is the Immortal Lord!"
"The Lord of Immortals!"
Hearing this, Xu Qing recalled that Eldest Senior Brother had once told him that he did not believe that there was no path above Lower Immortals. He believed that there might be Immortal Lord and Immortal Venerable ā¦
"At that time, Eldest Senior Brother actually already knew."
Xu Qing recalled the past and muttered in his heart.
The boatman's voice was still reverberating.
"However, the difficulty of this tier can be said to be absolute. In the entire fifth star ring, for countless years, there have only been eleven Immortal Lord."
"The eleven Immortal Palaces that oversee the Immortal Capital are each the source of the constitution."
After saying this, the boatman suddenly smiled.
"Since we have already said this much, then I can also tell you about the tiers above Immortal Lord."
"Above Immortal Lord is the only Immortal Venerable!"
"Immortal Venerable Star Ring is the same as Divine Venerable. Moreover, the current Immortal Venerable of the fifth star ring is the only one in the entire upper thirty-six star rings."
"Before he became a Venerable, he was also known as the Fifth Human Ancestor."
