Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension-Chapter 212: Definition Of A True Immortal, The Sovereign Of Storms

All the geniuses of the current generation had gathered in the Jiangnan Region of the State of Jiang, located on the opposite side of the Eastern Continent from the Qingyun Region and the State or Feng.

When he learned of this, he couldn’t help but wonder what the higher ups of the righteous path were planning.

Another piece of news he learned was that Lu Qingfeng had become quite a prominent figure in the Righteous-Demonic War, becoming a Great General of the Demon Subjugation Heavenly Alliance and being titled the Supreme Archer.

Lu Qingfeng didn’t tell or even contact him at all since he went out. He was a little disappointed but also felt relieved that Lu Qingfeng had matured and did not cause trouble for him anymore, relying on his own abilities to rise.

"Now that I think about it, all the recent major events seem to revolve around the Righteous-Demonic War. Is something great going to happen at the climax of the war?"

As he pondered over this, sudden realization hit him.

"If a catastrophic event really happens at the end of the war, then there’s no way I can stay out of it...I at least need to be powerful enough so that I can escape the Mortal World, just in case. It will be even better if I can take the entire Dao Field with me."

He nodded solemnly, as if agreeing with his own thoughts.

He needed to be at least at the Immortal Ascension Realm to leave the Second Great Mortal World and go to some other Mortal World, or even any other place in the Lower Realm.

That way, he could ensure his own safety, which had always been his utmost priority.

As for the people around him, if he was capable of protecting them, then he would, but if he wasn’t, then he won’t hesitate to leave them behind. He hoped that they would understand as well if this ever happened, not that he cared much even if they didn’t.

Immortal Cultivation had always been for himself alone. This was an unspoken rule in the cultivation world as well.

As long as one was alive, all grudges could be answered later on.

However, he needed to have absolute strength as the base of all these thoughts, only then could they come into reality.

With this mindset, Tian Yongheng took out the Low-Grade Immortal Spirit Stone he gad obtained from the system some time ago and placed it on his right palm as he took on a meditative stance.

The Heavenly Questions circulates in his mind as he started to comprehend them and cultivate with the Immortal Spirit Stone as well.

The extremely potent Immortal Qi of the Immortal Spirit Stone, which was countless times more pure than normal Spirit Qi, rushed into his body as he started to absorb it, each breath enough to save him days of normal cultivation.

He felt as if his entire being was becoming much more sacred with each passing moment as the warm current of the Immortal Qi flowed throughout his body, cleansed his mind and soul, then got refined into a far more powerful form of Spiritual Energy than before and resting inside of his Sea of Consciousness.

Combined with the continous comprehension of the Heavenly Questions and the heavenly rules through them, his cultivation speed was extremely fast.

As he tried to comprehend more Heavenly Questions, he noticed a strange thing.

His physical and mental capabilities were becoming much more potent than normal as he comprehended more and more Heavenly Questions and figured out the hidden meanings behind them.

It was different than normal sublimation which came from cultivation or the fleeting sense of being sacred from absorbing Immortal Qi.

It was as if he was truly stripping away his mortality and transforming into something, or an existence far more bizarre than a human.

Is this the secret to becoming a True Immortal, which the system in the description of the Heavenly Secrets stated?

Is my existence transforming to that of a True Immortal’s?

Just what are True Immortals?

He pondered silently as he resumed his cultivation, determined to breakthrough more than once in this seclusion.

However, suddenly, he heard the system’s mechanical voice, devoid of any emotion.

[True Immortals are a race of higher dimensional beings who are considered the progenitors of the Human Race, on the same level as the True Dragons, True Phoenixes, True Devils, Three-Legged Golden Crows, and the now extinct True Qilins.

All the beings of these races are mostly born as Immortals, not having to go through the mortal realms except for some special cases like the transformation of Connate Providence, environment etcetera. The single drop of a True Immortal’s blood can give one unparalleled talent and many years of longevity.

Despite having the same appearance as humans and just a more holy presence, like other races of their level, True Immortals also completely suppresses lower lifeforms even if their cultivation base is the same, and some of their geniuses can even fight beyond Immortal realms.

True Immortals are the strongest race even among the races of their level, only matched by the True Devils due to unspeakable reasons which the host isn’t qualified to know yet. Their key characteristic is naturally possessing a high comprehension of the Dao and being connected to it on a deeper level than the others.]

Progenitors of the Human Race...can fight beyond even Immortal realms...naturally connected to the Dao and a single drop of blood can grant one immense talent and longevity...

To think that an entire race of such beings exists is terrifying.

And the Heavenly Questions record how to become a True Immortal...

If I can become a True Immortal, then my chances of attaining eternal life will increase even more.

I definitely have to become one!

Tian Yongheng slowly gathered all his thoughts together after hearing the system’s explanation.

He didn’t specifically ask this to the system, but he was still unknowingly hoping he would get an answer from the system, which was why the system responded.

After calming down, he focused his attention back to cultivation, absorbing the Immortal Qi of the Immortal Spirit Stone and comprehending the Heavenly Questions.

This sublimation to become a True Immortal seems natural for now, and the more I understand the true essence of the Heavenly Questions, the closer I will get becoming a True Immortal.

But I don’t think I can become such an existence while being a mortal.

It means I have to surpass the Half Immortal Realm before truly becoming a True Immortal from a human.

As he thought of this, he slowly immersed himself into cultivation, putting aside all other unnecessary thoughts.

...

Meanwhile, Jiangnan Region, State of Jiang.

A massive flying ship entered the capital of Jiangnan, two young men on its front while many others who seemed to be the young men’s subordinates were doing different kind of things in the back, from operating the flying ship to tending to their requests.

There was the silhouette of a flood dragon carved on the ship, which immediately notified anyone with a bit knowledge who saw it to guess which force this flying ship belonged to.

The Dragon King Temple!

Zhu Dong was one of the two young men on the flying ship.

He had been brought here by the request of Long Mingyu to the Temple Abbott.

The other young man besides Zhu Dong was the topmost prodigy of the Dragon King Temple, the Personal Disciple of the Dragon King Temple’s Abbott, one of the greatest geniuses of the righteous path’s current generation, a peak Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator and a sworn brother of Zhu Dong, also known as the Sovereign of Storms, Long Wanchun!

Not to mention the fact that he was a Sea Dragon!

As a supreme genius of the current generation, Long Wanchun also had to attend this genius convention, and after knowing that Zhu Dong wanted to come along as well, being his sworn brother, he didn’t hesitate to bring him along at all.

He treated him extremely well and just like a brother, despite their great difference in cultivation, at least as of now.

He didn’t know that Zhu Dong was the reincarnation of a great cultivator unlike Long Mingyu. He just thought that Zhu Dong was a great prodigy who was unnoticed by the world because of him not belonging to any major faction.

As they entered the capital, Long Wanchun looked around calmly, his gaze filled with expectations.

"All the supreme geniuses of the current generation will be gathering this time. It’s also the time to determine who really deserves the title of the greatest genius of the current generation. What do you think, brother Zhu?"

He asked with an expectant smile on his face, looking forward to meeting the Divinity Transcendence Venerable, the prodigy who stood out the most in the current generation.

Zhu Dong shook his head with his eyes closed as he answered, "I guess that’s true. Sadly, I won’t get a chance to compete as I’m considered a part of the younger generation."
