This is absolutely insane!
After the Grandmaster realm, one reaches the Profound Realm of Magical Power.
The soul and spirit of the human body are invisible and intangible, but those who cultivate themselves are different. With continuous cultivation, their spiritual power naturally rises and their realm is elevated.
All thoughts transform into one thought, and one thought transforms into no thought. It is ethereal and spiritual, empty yet not empty. In the end, the spirit transforms into substance, and the soul also acquires spirituality.
This wisp of spirituality grows into a Yin spirit, which can leave the body at night. When it attaches to the innate true essence, it becomes magical power.
This realm is the profound understanding of magical power.
From this stage onwards, cultivators experience a significant increase in lifespan, with those possessing profound magical power living for over a thousand years.
Finally, when the Yin Spirit and magical power combine to form a elixir, one reaches the Golden Core realm.
Those who attain the Golden Elixir have long lifespans, depending on their individual aptitude; some live to 1200, some to 1300, some to 1500, and some even to 1800.
Within the golden elixir lies the divine soul. After ten months of gestation, it matures and falls from the vine, transforming into the Yang spirit.
After the Yin Spirit is perfected, it transforms into the Yang Spirit, which can emerge from the body during the day, ascend to the Nine Heavens, descend to the Azure Netherworld, and roam the world in an instant!
The Yang Shen (阳神) has a lifespan of three thousand years.
Once the Yang Spirit reaches its peak again, it will transform into the Primordial Spirit.
In simple terms, the primordial spirit is merely the product of the materialized soul.
The Primordial Spirit Realm possesses various incredible abilities and a lifespan of five thousand years.
Those who achieve the primordial spirit can exist independently of their physical body, roaming the world freely, reaching from the highest heavens to the deepest hells.
The primordial spirit can also possess another body. Even if the physical body is severed, if the primordial spirit can escape, it can possess the body of an ordinary person and be reborn. However, all cultivation will be lost, and everything will have to start all over again.
After cultivators achieve the primordial spirit, they also reach the pinnacle of the mortal world. Every breath they take is a massive influx and expulsion of the energy of heaven and earth. In reality, this behavior is also a kind of harm to the world itself, an invisible harm.
In order to protect itself, Heaven and Earth have brought about calamities.
Therefore, the fifth realm of the second-order longevity is the realm of tribulation crossing, also known as the Great Completion Realm.
The Tribulation Transcending Realm is different from the previous realms. Its unique Three Calamities and Five Tribulations are terrifying, and only one in ten thousand can overcome them.
Those who cross the river will become immortals and attain enlightenment.
If you can't get through it, you'll just fade away.
Zero-level acquired, first-level extraordinary, second-level immortal.
The maximum lifespan for a cultivator in the mortal realm is one "hui," which is 10,800 years. No matter what means are used, those who do not become immortals can never break this limit.
Now, Xiao Ning has finally broken through to the Yuan Shen realm. His divine path is complete, but he is still lacking in the essence and qi paths.
And this is precisely the function of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
It is both a calamity brought down by heaven and earth and a blessing bestowed by heaven and earth.
Each tribulation overcome brings an increase in cultivation level. When all tribulations are eliminated, the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit will achieve initial minor perfection, leading to immortality and enlightenment.
The three disasters are fire, flood, and wind!
The wind is the forging force of magic;
The fire is the yin fire that condenses the primordial spirit;
Water is the yang water that forges the physical body;
Uncontrollable magical power will be shattered by the Bifeng.
An uncontrollable primordial spirit will be annihilated by the Yin Fire;
A physical body that is not strong enough will be destroyed by the Yang Water;
The five difficulties are: dirty clothes, worn-out clothes, sweating under the armpits, dirty body, and not enjoying the seat.
The three calamities and five tribulations are tribulations of the cultivator himself, not natural disasters or man-made calamities. After overcoming them, there will be no more disasters or tribulations, and one will become an immortal and attain the Tao, with endless life.
At this time, Xiao Ning's primordial spirit had been formed. He had a premonition that his first three calamities would be a flood, which would come five hundred years later. After he survived, the second of the five calamities would come. Five hundred years later, there would be a wind calamity and the second of the five calamities. Finally, five hundred years later, a fire calamity and the last calamity would come together.
"Once every five hundred years... thankfully, it's not too short!"
Xiao Ning muttered to himself.
"System, come out!"
As soon as I finished speaking, the long-lost virtual screen popped up and appeared before my eyes.
