Chapter 289: The Path of Immortals and Gods, Life Will, Laws, and Creation

Jiang Yi thanked him.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng continued, "A hundred years is a long time for mortals, but if you want to study the three secrets, you must be able to endure a thousand years of loneliness."

"In the mortal world, life and death are commonplace. Which immortal has not experienced the passing of generations of mortals? Especially those immortals and semi-immortals who have close ties with the human world."

"In today's dream, you just sent one person away."

"The heaviness of a hundred years in a dream cannot compare to a hundred years in reality."

"It's even worse than... when you break through to a higher level, in an instant, you will pass through a period of time that seems to be equal to the length of the heaven and earth."

Jiang Yi thought about the heart-wrenching pain in his dream when Shen He left, and also thought about the immortals and semi-immortals mentioned by True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, and how many times they had experienced acquaintance and separation.

Finally, it is a fragment frozen in memory.

That level is called "becoming a god", right?

Afterwards, a gap in time and lifespan will arise between mortals and gods, and between mortals and immortals.

The first lesson that Master Liuyun Jiefeng taught Jiang Yi was cruel, but necessary for growth.

"The gods and immortals of Teyvat were once one, but later their philosophies became different, and then immortals appeared." True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng pointed to the cave.

"In the dream, people are suffering, but do you know how chaotic Teyvat was before the Seven Rulers of the Earthly World? How long did the war between demons last? How many lives were lost?"

"There are always disputes in the world. You can't avoid them. You can't hide from them. A secluded cave can't be a permanent retreat."

"Emperor Yanwang is the ancestor of all immortals, and we who follow him are the original immortals. The emperor is a martial god who pacified the world in exchange for today's peace, and the seclusion and freedom of all immortals."

Jiang Yi experienced those hundred years carefully. It seemed very bitter then, but now he feels that it is nothing.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng moved the world and gave him so much vitality and hope.

"Your race is human. Even if you are a little special, the shortcomings of humans are still on you!" said Master Liuyun Jiefeng in a leisurely voice.

"Humans have potential, but their time has not yet arrived. The remnants of the demon gods are still showing their presence."

"The demons who participated in the Demon War were all born extraordinary. After growing up, they all had immortal bodies and immortal souls. It was just that their consciousness dissipated and they died after being defeated in the battle."

"So power and resentment become filth, invading the world."

"The Heart of God is the recognition of Sky Island. Those defeated demons are also gods to you!"

"You will embark on the road of exorcism in the future, attracting resentment and eliminating the karma of the devil. This road is not easy to walk even if there are methods to restrain it!"

Master Liuyunjiefeng showed pity on his face.

"You need an extremely strong soul and spiritual will, an undisturbed heart of the Tao, unparalleled experience and rich knowledge to condense the divine nature that transcends everything. Only then will you be qualified to use your Tao and principles to fulfill the promise in the contract and obtain a free and unrestrained body."

"The divine being must go through a long period of time that is equal to that of heaven and earth. However, if one goes through that long period of time and wastes time, then he is only wasting the infinite time that has passed through his spirit."

"The test of heaven and earth, the opportunity of heaven and earth, are much more difficult to endure than this little dream of mine!"

"If you can't even get out of this, it's useless for me to teach you the three secrets!"

"The ultimate of the physical body, the ultimate of the soul, if you achieve one of them, you are a false god; if you achieve both, then even if you are a human, you are equivalent to a true immortal god, with an immortal body and an immortal soul."

"But... this doesn't mean you have an infinite lifespan."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng remembered Jiang Yi's desire for immortality in his dream.

Jiang Yi fell into deep thought.

He knew why Master Liuyun Jiefeng said this to him.

The immortal method and the three secrets are indeed extremely profound for mortals. It takes several lifetimes of study to reach the highest level and understand all the principles.

The life of a mortal is too short and the soul is too fragile to bear the profound laws.

Without mastering the laws, it is impossible to formulate the rules of the outer cave.

It is even more impossible... to show ambition, upgrade the laws one by one, and gather powerful authority.

The only way is to prolong your life, strengthen your soul, and become comparable to the devil.

Even the weakest kind of demon.

"The souls of immortals and gods are much more powerful than humans, just like the sun and fireflies. How can a firefly become the sun?" said Master Liuyunjiefeng.

"The 'Sleepwalking Method' of cultivating the soul in dreams is a method that allows the soul of the practitioner to continuously achieve the toughness of the souls of immortals and demons."

"What you saw in your dream, the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, is a combat technique, and is also a similar cultivation technique."

"However, the practice of these two arts requires a long time of accumulation before a firefly can be transformed into the sun. During this process, a mortal would probably have died of old age."

"Do you think you can continue to cultivate after becoming a ghost?"

Master Liuyunjiefeng looked at Jiang Yi and said, "Without a physical body and without vitality, the cultivation he had during his lifetime can only allow him to live a little longer!"

"Most of the immortals in this world are born with extraordinary bloodlines, such as dragons and unicorns. These immortal beasts are auspicious and are the inhuman immortals condensed by elements."

“Those who achieve this after birth…are few and far between.”

"Not to mention, the restriction of longevity actually lies in one's will. Just like a defeated demon god, whose will is wiped out, he will die even if he has a longer lifespan."

"The dissipation of will and the wear and tear of the soul are the most terrifying things in death and life."

“Dying of old age… is so rare!”

Jiang Yi was speechless.

All the twists and turns just show that it is too difficult for mortals to achieve immortality.

"To some extent, will is what represents the life span and when one will die." Master Liuyun Jiefeng suddenly said something that surprised and stunned Jiang Yi.

"If you are about to die, I can give you a chance and follow your wishes before you die. Summon all the immortals and infuse them with infinite immortal power, allowing you to travel outside the Yin and Yang worlds and become a zombie."

"This method goes against the will of heaven. It is hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse. It also goes against the order of yin and yang."

"If you have a weak will, there will be one more zombie in the world that can be saved. If you have a strong will, maybe you can keep your sanity."

No one knew what was in mind when Master Liuyun Jiefeng came up with this idea.

"Okay! You should take a rest today." She seemed a little tired and was about to fly away, but she remembered something and stopped.

"Among the three secrets, the return of the alchemy cauldron and the opening of the outer cave will give you a mental illusion of infinite time, just like the creation of the world. Be prepared when you watch it."

"Finally, let me mention the highest secret of the alchemy furnace!"

"The Emperor once hinted that... Teyvat's creation was not like this, but he did not deny that this way of creation was wrong. Think about it while you study."

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun flew into the clouds, leaving behind a difficult problem for her.

Jiang Yi thought about what he saw before the dream began.

I smiled and thought, what is there to think about?

That pill was like a miniature of creation. Based on his knowledge before crossing over, the birth of the real universe should be like this. So he cultivated accordingly.

After all, the birth of Teyvat... came from Him.

The process of creation is indeed different.
