And the Supreme Elder of the Luo Tian Sect must be at least among the ranks of loose immortals!
Loose immortals may not be equivalent to the orthodox "Nine Realms of Immortals," but they are indeed mighty cultivators who possess immortal power and have achieved an Immortal Physique.
In the memory fragments Su Xing obtained this time, there was a detailed introduction about loose immortals and the "Nine Realms of Immortals."
Cultivators at the peak of the Mahayana Realm can transform the vast sea-like Spiritual Power in their bodies into immortal power.
And by passing the Trial of Heart refinement, they can achieve an immortal Primordial Spirit.
Adding on the physical body's Tribulation Crossing, they would attain the first realm of the "Nine Realms of Immortals," the Human Immortal Realm!
The transformation of Spiritual Power into immortal power, the forging of the heart in the Trial of Heart refinement, and the Tribulation Crossing to achieve an Immortal Physique.
Of these three major thresholds, the Trial of Heart refinement is the most difficult; if one fails at refining the heart, they can still become an immortal, but only a loose immortal.
Loose immortals also enjoy the lifespan of immortals, but they must endure a Heavenly Tribulation once every thousand years. Failing to persevere through it would mean death.
Moreover, the potential of loose immortals is far inferior to that of the orthodox immortal journey of the "Nine Realms of Heaven and Man."
"Even so... to become a loose immortal is still to surpass the peerless powerhouses of the Mahayana Realm..."
Su Xing sighed and murmured,
"To step into a second-grade Immortal Seed means that at the very least, one can achieve the position of a loose immortal."
"Above the second-grade Immortal Seed, there is the first-grade Immortal Seed..."
"First-grade Immortal Seed bearers must reach the Mahayana Realm before the age of five hundred to obtain it!"
"Therefore, they would have enough time to temper their mental state and walk the orthodox Great Dao of immortality!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly; this Immortal Realm was still too far away for him.
However, for Su Xing, a third-grade Immortal Seed was a real and substantial benefit!
"After entering the Luo Tian Sect this time, my mentor is no longer the Grand Elder Niu Ruolie... but the Sect Master of the Luo Tian Sect, Luo Ying!"
"He is a mighty figure at the peak of the Mahayana Realm who may cross the Tribulation at any moment to ascend to the Immortal Realm!"
"Furthermore, Shennong Youtian is no longer my mentor's younger brother but my senior brother, isn't he?"
Murmured Su Xing, while feeling even more puzzled in his heart.
Why, every time he entered a copy, was he this Luo Xiaochuan?
And as Su Xing's own strength continually increased, so would Luo Xiaochuan's status?
But these puzzles were questions Su Xing could not yet unravel.
"Well, I might as well ask about the breakthrough of the Body Integration Realm first..."
Thinking this way, Su Xing quickened his pace and headed into the back mountain.
Shennong Youtian was still dressed in simple clothing, planting in the field like a farmer.
Seeing Su Xing, Shennong Youtian stopped his farming work, smiled, and said to Su Xing,
"Junior Brother, are you here to call me to join the Luo Tian Conference?"
Su Xing nodded in response, and the two chatted as they walked toward the main hall. .
Compared to the previous simulation, after becoming the Saint Heir, Su Xing's relationship with Shennong Youtian was clearly much closer.
As they almost reached the venue of the Luo Tian Conference, Su Xing asked his senior brother,
"Senior brother, I have now reached the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm... How should I break through to the Integration Phase?"
After hearing this, Shennong Youtian pondered for a moment before saying,
"Indeed, now that you, Junior Brother, have become the Saint Heir of our Luo Tian Sect and advanced the cultivation level to the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm, it's indeed time for you to consider advancing to the Body Integration Realm..."
"But you've been the Saint Heir for a short time... let me explain this to you in detail."
Pausing for a moment, Shennong Youtian asked in return,
"What do you think is the biggest difference between Return to Void Realm cultivators and Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators?"
After pondering for a moment, Su Xing answered uncertainly,
"Is it the Spiritual Power... and the Divine Sense?"
"The mana of the Return to Void Realm at Great Perfection is more than ten times that of the Divinity Transformation Stage at Great Perfection... The Spiritual Power within is like an unfathomable river... and the power of the spells released is even greater!"
"Moreover, after the Return to Void Realm, cultivators can come into contact with the Void Domain, hence the cultivation of Divine Sense is much quicker, and the scope of Divine Sense is much stronger than that of Divinity Transformation Stage!"
Shennong Youtian nodded satisfactorily upon hearing Su Xing's answer and said,
"Although it's not entirely accurate, it's not far off..."
"You need to remember one thing, you achieved the Great Perfection of the Return to Void Realm before the age of a hundred, which means your aptitude is somewhat higher than mine was back then..."
"Therefore, it would be best for you to cultivate your Divine Sense scope to a hundred thousand zhang, to the most subtle level... Doing so will have great benefits for your cultivation later on!"
"Apart from that, the biggest difference between the Return to Void Realm and the Body Integration Phase lies in the sensitivity to nature's spiritual energy!"
"Return to Void Realm cultivators, even if they have ample Spiritual Power inside, ultimately have a limit..."
"But once they reach the Body Integration Phase, they will be able to crudely draw on nature's spiritual energy, greatly enhancing the power of their spells!"
"Especially with Divine Skills... although Divinity Transformation and Return to Void Realm cultivators can practice Divine Skills, they cannot draw upon nature's spiritual energy and their power is limited... But if one reaches the Body Integration Realm, with the help of nature's spiritual energy, the power of Divine Skills will be multiplied many times over, or even by tens of times!"
Su Xing nodded slightly after hearing this, his thoughts suddenly turning to the "Three Talents Sword Technique" he had learned before, where the Earth Sword and Heavenly Sword were meant to connect with the forces of nature.
Shennong Youtian seemed in good spirits and continued to explain,
"By the time one reaches the Great Perfection of the Integration Phase, the Mahayana Realm, they will be able to crudely draw upon the power of space, moving a thousand miles, or even ten thousand miles, in the blink of an eye..."
Pausing briefly, Shennong Youtian finally got to the crux of the matter.
"Therefore, for Return to Void Realm cultivators wanting to break through to the Body Integration Realm, the key lies in the sensitivity to nature's spiritual energy!"
"The more outstanding the Spiritual Root is, the richer the surrounding nature's spiritual energy, the greater the likelihood of sensing the patterns of nature's spiritual energy!"
"You, Junior Brother, possess a Heavenly Spirit Root, which gives you a considerable advantage in this aspect... For you to reach the Body Integration Phase, it might just take a single opportunity..."
Su Xing contemplated after hearing this. With Shennong Youtian's explanation, Su Xing had gained some insight for the time being.
Consequently, Su Xing proceeded to ask,
"Senior brother, do you know any methods for divine sense attacks? Although I have reached Great Perfection in the Return to Void Realm, my use of Divine Sense is still somewhat lacking..."
