TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1544: Chapter 599 The Path of the Heavenly Immortal Chapter 1544: Chapter 599 The Path of the Heavenly Immortal Regarding the grand cultivator celebration for himself, Lu Yuan simply gave the order and handed it off to his avatars to take care of it.

He himself continued to concentrate on his cultivation, having no time to bother with these mundane affairs.

Even if it weren’t for the purpose of assisting his old neighbors from the Nine Provinces and deterring petty nuisances to keep them from bothering him,

he wouldn’t have wanted to hold the celebration at all.

For following the breakthrough, he found himself beset by troubles and was in urgent need of dealing with them.

Lu Yuan had already reached the late-stage Earth Immortal realm.

Although he had just recently broken through, at this time, the Earth Immortal Realm was pretty much as far as one could go.

Even if one were to continue cultivating, it would only result in an increase in magic power and a slightly higher level of cultivation.

But the Great Tao of his personal cultivation had reached a perfect state at the moment of breakthrough into the later stage.

By this step, it could actually be called a Dao Fruit.

This Dao Fruit was no different from a Heavenly Immortal Taoist Fruit, and Lu Yuan’s Taoist Fruit of longevity existed just like this.

It was a realization and enlightenment that only emerged upon reaching the perfection of Dao Fruit after his breakthrough as a grand cultivator.

And while Dao Fruits were virtually alike, why then was the disparity between an Earth Immortal and a Heavenly Immortal so vast?

Here, we must address the issue of the sovereignty of Dao Fruits.

The so-called Realm of Earth Immortal is none other than mastering and merging with one of Heaven and Earth’s ways, imbuing one’s own essence into the fabric of Heaven and Earth, becoming one with the Great Tao.

In this state, within Heaven and Earth, as long as one doesn’t exceed the scope permitted by the Heavenly Path, a cultivator can make unlimited use of this way of Heaven and Earth, which can be said to possess infinite might.

But because of the limitation within Heaven and Earth and the restrictions of the Heavenly Path, such a True Immortal can only be referred to as an Earth Immortal

and is far from enjoying absolute freedom.

If this were the only issue, it would already be acceptable.

Being able to merge with the Tao and enjoy the scenery within the limits of the Heavenly Path is something most cultivators can live with.

But the Heavenly Path is not generous.

It allows you to merge with the Tao because it wants to use your power to strengthen its own Great Tao.

It does not want you to be a parasite forever leeching off of itself.

Therefore, when a cultivator reaches the realm of an Earth Immortal, they begin the journey of helping the Heavenly Path to perfect its own Great Tao.

Starting from the early Earth Immortal stage, using one’s own cultivation and insights to merge with the way of Heaven and Earth, until the late Earth Immortal stage, when one’s insights are exhausted and completely integrated with the way of Heaven and Earth.

With the completion of this process, the role of an Earth Immortal for the Heavenly Path essentially becomes nil.

For the Heavenly Path, an Earth Immortal is useless at this point, and it’s time to discard them.

Hence, the Heavenly Path imposes a limit; the maximum Lifespan for a cultivator—or to say, for an Earth Immortal—cannot exceed ten thousand years.

Upon reaching ten thousand years of age, the Earth Immortal must perish.

No secret method to extend one’s Lifespan or consumption of life-extending heavenly treasures can break this limit.

When Time comes, death is inevitable.

This is the Heavenly decree for your demise—how can anyone outlive it?

Lu Yuan, at this moment, was confronted with just such a predicament.

There was no helping it; although the breakthrough to the late stage of Earth Immortal was a joyous occasion,

along with the breakthrough, Lu Yuan had abruptly realized that his joy had been premature.

This late-stage Earth Immortal was not so easily attained.

With the attainment of this realm, the tribulations and calamities associated with it had also arrived.

Once his Dao Fruit became perfect, the Great Tao cultivator he had followed would also be marked in the eyes of the Heavenly Path.

Now that the Heavenly Path had noticed him, the ten-thousand-year limit inevitably loomed.

Currently plagued by disaster, struggling for his very survival, he truly did not wish to deal with those trifles.

The key was to think about how to break the situation.

Now, Lu Yuan faced only two paths.

First, he could either abandon the Dao Fruit that he had painstakingly cultivated, discard his cultivation, and relinquish his Earth Immortal Great Dao to the Heavenly Path, while relying on his own Dao Fruit of longevity to cling to a tenuous existence.

In this way, no longer found on the Heavenly Path’s list, it would naturally no longer concern itself with him, and he could continue to live freely and indefinitely.

But having struggled in his cultivation for more than two thousand years, enduring countless hardships to finally reach his current realm, how could Lu Yuan willingly give up?

Think of it, any cultivator faced with such a choice, unless it’s the very last moment, would not take this road, would they?

Even some cultivators wouldn’t even think of it; this option isn’t even on their list of choices.

Because relinquishing your Dao Fruit and descending from the Earth Immortal Realm, losing the Lifespan advantage brought by this realm, to become a Human Immortal or even a mortal, would mean immediate death.

To be devoured and assimilated by the Heavenly Path leads just as well to death.

Death awaits either way, so why not die with dignity, with a bang?

Lu Yuan had this option only because he possessed a Dao Fruit of longevity and was essentially already ‘ashore.’

Even if he lost this new path to safety, the loss, although severe, wouldn’t be a total loss for him, thus it remained bearable.

The Immortal Realm is vast, filled with cultivators as numerous as the stars, with many chosen ones among them.

Whether other Earth Immortals might find a similar path like his own is highly probable.

Therefore, Lu Yuan didn’t say that others couldn’t take this road.

But regardless of whether they could or couldn’t, it was a choice of last resort.

No one would choose it unless absolutely necessary.

And if that path was not an option, then the only remaining solution, which also represented the mainstream choice among the many Earth Immortals of the Immortal Realm, was to become a Heavenly Immortal.
