Chapter 881: Three-Colored Ninth-Grade Merit Lotus Platform (2)
Editor: Atlas Studios
To put it bluntly, the True Immortals after the Immortal Ascension Tribulation were immortals who had survived the three calamities.
This was because the three calamities of becoming an immortal were really too terrifying. If one was unlucky and could not survive, their lifespan might only be 500 years.
How could a mere 500-year-old immortal be considered a True Immortal?
Only after passing the three calamities of becoming an immortal did they no longer have to worry about dying because of the calamity. They could live as long as heaven and earth and shine together with the sun and moon.
Only such an immortal could be called a True Immortal.
Of course, the so-called lifespan of heaven and earth and the brilliance of the sun and moon did not mean that one would really live forever.
This was because the current Jiang Li knew that heaven and earth actually had their own lifespan.
After a certain period of time, a huge change would happen in a world. Great calamities would strike and eras would rotate.
With the destruction of heaven and earth, a new world would be born.
The rotation time of an era was 128,500 years.
In other words, True Immortals who lived as long as heaven and earth would probably suffer a life-and-death calamity every 128,500 years.
This time, they could not use the transformation technique to dodge.
If one was strong enough and had a tough life, if they could survive, they would enjoy another era. If they could not, they would reincarnate.
In this way, if they could endure nine eras in a row and comprehend the mysteries of life and death, after comprehending the Profound Mystery, a True Immortal would be able to advance to the Mystic Immortal realm.
The path that one had to walk from the Mystic Immortal realm was a path to the Dao.
They ran determinedly towards the Great Dao they sought.
For example, in ancient legends, there were stories like the Kuafu Chasing the Sun, Jingwei Filling the Sea, and so on. They looked inexplicable, but they were actually the journey of ancient Mystic Immortals.
Just like in the story, pursuing the Great Dao would definitely be extremely difficult.
There was a high chance that a dignified Mystic Immortal would die on the way.
If one succeeded, they would have to enjoy the Great Dao to stand shoulder to shoulder with the heavens and be called a Heaven Immortal!
The current Human Emperor, Jiang Li, had reached this cultivation level.
Speaking of which, this immortal realm could not be accumulated by cultivation alone.
The current Human Emperor had really experienced those unimaginable hardships.
He had long passed the three calamities of wind, lightning, and fire.
Although the wind calamity was a little excessive because the power of heaven and earth was insufficient after the Cultivationless Age, the three calamities were indeed complete.
The million years of bitter cultivation in the 18 levels of hell corresponded to the nine eras after the True Immortal realm.
Finally, in the deepest depths of the Netherworld, he took the Reincarnation Yin-Yang Grind and transformed the Nine Nether Wood into his body. This was his journey towards the Great Dao of the Nine Nether.
The hardships were not known by outsiders.
Before becoming an immortal, he had already survived the three waves of calamity after becoming an immortal. Not to mention that no one would be able to replicate such an experience in the future, it would probably be unprecedented.
After that, Jiang Li obtained everything from the Nine Nether Wood and replenished his cultivation in one go, directly becoming a Heaven Immortal.
This only consumed a small portion of the Nine Nether Wood’s strength.
In fact, the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth had accumulated endless power since the creation of heaven and earth until today.
Not to mention Heaven Immortals, without those thresholds to become immortals, in terms of accumulating cultivation, it would not be a problem to push him to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.
However, now that the Three Realms and Six Paths had collapsed, it was too difficult to become a Golden Immortal normally.
There were only two methods. One was to find the Heavenly Realm in the three worlds.
Or, he could use the omnipotent power of virtuous merit.
The Heavenly Realm had yet to be found, so Jiang Li did not plan to act rashly.
He could only rely on the power of virtuous merit.
Fortunately, the current Human Emperor had his own way of accumulating merit.
He had connections in the Nine Provinces, the Netherworld, and even the Asura World.
The Netherworld was the simplest. As long as he pieced together the continent fragments, he could continuously obtain a large amount of merit. He had tried this time and again, but it took too much time.
There was also an advantage in the Asura World, which was that the rules of the will of heaven and earth were simple and crude.
As long as the area occupied by the Asura World was larger, they could obtain more and more attention and rewards from the world’s will.
At this moment, he was naturally unwilling to sacrifice the Nine Provinces to obtain the merit of the Asura World.
Then, he might as well compete for supremacy in the Asura World!
With the current strength of the current Human Emperor, to be honest, doing this was not a difficult thing.
In the gap of ten years when piecing together the Netherworld fragments, it was as if he was playing a hack-and-slash game. From time to time, he would run to the Asura World to kill.
If he was interested, he would slap a few so-called Overlord-level Asura Lords to death.
Or he could run to the Earth Core World and let the Asuras there experience the terror of the human race.
In short, after doing that for two years, the name “Lamb World” had already been swept into the dust of history and no Asura had mentioned it again.
In its place were the Demon World, the Demon God World, the Slaughter World, and other words filled with fear.
They were really afraid of the current Human Emperor.
Invasion? They were found and slaughtered every few days. No matter how good they were at fighting, so what if they were not afraid of death?
Those powerful Lords with a long history and deep roots or Asura nobles fell one after another.
They were like ants, unable to resist at all.
Even if an Asura Lord inherited the will of the Asura World and successfully broke through to become a Great Asura equivalent to an immortal, trying to resist the Human Emperor would only result in getting possessed by Jiang Li’s parallel mind and becoming a glorious Human Emperor’s clone.
