I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

– – – – – –

In the vast expanse of the heavens, the Supreme, in the mortal realm, stood at the high echelons of the Human Dao domain. A step further led to the so-called Extreme Dao powerhouse, the strongest in the Human Dao domain.

Now, such a realm, almost touching the ceiling of the Human Dao domain, had become the floor of the Heavenly Realm. Many newly born beings possessed such a level.

Of course, calculations based on the Shrouding Heaven Method or the Ancient Immortal Method weren't entirely accurate. More precisely, beings born in this realm naturally contained undying substances within their bodies; otherwise, they simply couldn't survive in this world.

The undying substance that only those in the fifth level of the Eternal Life Mystery Realm – the Creation Realm – of the Eternal Life Method could possess was a treasure yearned for by countless mid- and low-level cultivators. Yet, beings born in this world possessed it from birth.

This was even more powerful than the bloodline of Immortal Emperors. The laws of this world caused such a phenomenon.

The world's formation wasn't a matter of three or five days. This world was still changing, filled with various energies that gradually settled the vital energy.

Among the many energies of the Heavenly Realm, nine kinds felt familiar, being combinations of pure Yang energy, which here was just ordinary air!

One should know that in any universe, Pure Yang Pills were currency, but here, it was air that people could freely breathe.

This world was too extravagant!

Moreover, even some cultivators who wanted to return had found a way.

"World Tree, it's the World Tree!"

"The World Tree connects the mortal realm and the Heavenly Realm, allowing mutual travel!"

The Heavenly Realm was vast, even Golden Immortals found it difficult to find its boundaries. Fortunately, they had been moved here and were not far apart, able to see the World Tree growing up from the lower realm, directly connecting to the Heavenly Realm!

And cultivators could also use the World Tree to leave the Heavenly Realm.

After some cultivators risked trying, they discovered that they could return. They then brought their families, climbed along the World Tree, and directly entered the Heavenly Realm, succeeding!

The rules of the Heavenly Realm would elevate their life essence, granting them undying substances to withstand the strongest laws of the Heavenly Realm's suppression. However, this level was still as fragile as an infant in the Immortal Realm.

However, just staying in the Heavenly Realm for a period, drinking the water of the Heavenly Realm, eating the fruits grown from the plants of the Heavenly Realm, and breathing in and out the vital energy here, could quickly promote them to the Void Immortal or even True Immortal realm.

The Heavenly Immortal realm was a threshold, requiring some talent and resources.

Once this news spread, all the myriad realms were in an uproar.

Just going to the Heavenly Realm could guarantee becoming a Void Immortal or True Immortal?

These were very profound realms, even among Extreme Dao Supremes and Ancient Emperor Great Emperors, only a step away from becoming an immortal!

In the mortal realm, they needed countless opportunities, and their temperament and talent couldn't be lacking, nor could they fall midway to cultivate to such a realm.

But in the Heavenly Realm, they could achieve it by just living there for a few years? Was there really such a good thing?

For a time, bringing families and climbing the World Tree became a spectacle. Even though the World Tree was vast, there were still many cultivators, like ants clinging to it, climbing towards the Heavenly Realm.

Some cultivators, upon first hearing this news, felt it was impossible.

Because first, even if there was such a sacred ground as the Heavenly Realm, how could it allow mortals to enter at will?

Second, how tall was the World Tree? Could ordinary cultivators climb it?

But it really was possible.

Because the World Tree was growing slowly, and although it was slow, it was still extremely fast relative to ordinary cultivators.

"Water has a source, and trees have roots. This is a land of creation."

Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and others also arrived. All the Primordial Immortals arrived.

Such news was worth their descendants awakening them. The Primordial Immortals would also invite their friends, so even the Primordial Immortals who were in deep sleep woke up and arrived at the Heavenly Realm.

They began a new cultivation here, comprehending the Great Dao of the Heavenly Realm, and had a new understanding of cultivation.

Above the Primordial Immortal was the Saint Immortal, the Saint among Immortals, able to do all kinds of incredible things, equivalent to returning to the origin after transforming into the Dao, giving birth to mysteries in one's own Dao, which were means difficult to measure in the past.

But similarly, it was very difficult to advance to that realm.

But they didn't care anymore, because in the mortal realm, they had tasted tens of trillions of years of futility, and now they were already very satisfied with having a goal.

Although the Heavenly Realm was full of vital energy, and the air was full of various Yang energies and Qing energies that were rare in the secular world, good things were still limited.

Especially the mineral veins excavated from the ground, which attracted competition from all sides, leading to fighting.

The Primordial Immortals were disturbed, and finally agreed on three rules, all forces withdrew from the area within a radius of 30,000 Heavenly Realm mountain ranges centered on the World Tree, leaving a pure land.

The Primordial Immortals left teleportation formations, allowing cultivators from the mortal realm to teleport away, otherwise ordinary Human Dao realm cultivators couldn't leave the pure zone established by the Primordial Immortals after coming up.

In this way, only leaving some reception envoys to manage reduced the fighting.

The entire Heavenly Realm was vast and boundless, much larger than the secular world. These beings, who had the ability or connections to reach the World Tree, were considered to be doing well in the mortal realm, and their number only accounted for a small part of the total number of mortals. Therefore, in the vast Heavenly Realm, as long as they explored on their own, it was easy to find some treasure lands and find vital energy mineral veins to cultivate.

The Heavenly Realm was a blessed land, with even few wild beasts, waiting to be developed. The cultivators who immigrated from the mortal realm to the Heavenly Realm almost emptied the high echelons of the entire secular world.

For a time, the secular world seemed to have entered the end of Dharma.

Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was more abundant than before, saints and cultivators above the Eternal Life Mystery Realm basically found ways to leave, leaving only a very few who were unwilling to leave.

The World Tree could not only be climbed into the Heavenly Realm, but also allow people to go down along it, but the cultivation base had to be at least at the Profound Immortal level, otherwise that height, and also involving the barriers between the two worlds, the conversion of space and laws, etc.

The passage of time in the Celestial Realm differs from that of the mortal world. One day in the Celestial Realm is equivalent to one year in the mortal world. This is not merely a spatial difference, but also a temporal barrier. Without the convenience of the World Tree's branches, ordinary cultivators are simply unable to traverse the two realms. Therefore, at least a Xuan Immortal is required to pass through smoothly.

Cultivators from the lower realm only descend to select outstanding seeds. Whether in the mortal world or the Celestial Realm, talent is crucial. A cultivator who excels in the mortal world is likely to be even more exceptional in the Celestial Realm.

Consequently, the major powers of the Celestial Realm have established Dao lineages in the lower realm to select talent.

Those clans that had relocated entirely have also sent people back to oversee matters, nurture cultivators in the mortal world, and ensure the continuation of their lineages. Their purpose is to select talent for the Celestial Realm's Dao lineages. When cultivators reach a certain level, someone will come to retrieve them.

This situation has persisted and become a customary practice.

Many major powers in the Celestial Realm do not care about talent in the mortal world and are too lazy to send people there. For example, Ye Fan and Shi Hao brought all their relatives, friends, and willing descendants to the Celestial Realm upon their arrival.

As Yuan Immortals, they could easily bring people with them and possessed the power to control space.

Ordinary Immortal Dao beings, however, only find their comprehension of spatial laws useful in the mortal world. Upon arriving in the Celestial Realm, where space is incredibly stable, they cannot use techniques like 'Universe in a Sleeve'.

Those who maintained Dao lineage powers in the mortal world have extended their reach to the Sea of Spiritual Energy, piecing together continents within it to raise living beings.

After all, raising living beings in the mortal world is inexpensive.

Even a small amount trickling down from the fingers of the noble Celestial Realm inhabitants is enough to support trillions of cultivators in the mortal world, much like mortals cultivating bacteria.

However, this approach carries risks. The Sea of Spiritual Energy should not be disturbed recklessly. In the past, countless worlds were driven out to the Chaos beyond the Sea of Spiritual Energy.

By doing this, they are testing the Supreme Dao Venerable, the Lord of Eternal Life, as they believe he created the Celestial Realm.

The environment there is most suitable for cultivators of the Eternal Life method.

This testing has not caused any problems. Within the Sea of Spiritual Energy, they use universes to construct super-continents, surrounded by countless suns, moons, and stars, each only able to illuminate a small area of the continent.

Raising cultivators there also allows them to descend to the mortal world at any time to bring the chosen geniuses back to the Celestial Realm.

There is also competition among the major powers, not for anything else, but to be closer to the World Tree.

In the thirtieth millionth year since the creation of the Celestial Realm, Jiang Li, who had long faded from view, appeared and named the super-continent constructed by his senior brother Li Rui's Dao lineage in the mortal world the 'Profound Yellow Great World'.

He erected an Immortal Stele, lifting the entire Profound Yellow Great World, raising it above the Sea of Spiritual Energy, making it the closest location to the Celestial Realm among all the continents.

In that year, the Celestial Realm ceased its expansion. Those with profound cultivation sensed it from the laws of the Heavenly Tribulation, but it was difficult to see through the current Celestial Realm because it was so vast, many times larger than the mortal world.

Then, the passage between the mortal world and the Celestial Realm closed.

It once only required the cultivation of a Xuan Immortal to freely descend to the lower realm, but now, even Golden Immortals, Ancestral Immortals, and Yuan Immortals cannot descend. The two realms were sealed off.

The Celestial Realm had completed its expansion, becoming a unified whole, indestructible, and without flaws.

The World Tree also no longer grew towards the Celestial Realm. Ordinary cultivators could no longer choose a tender branch of the World Tree and enter the Celestial Realm together as it grew.

Of course, climbing up was still possible.

But with the World Tree's mass, where a single cell is a universe, even an Extreme Dao Supreme would face a long journey. Weaker cultivators need not even be mentioned; even if they climbed until the end of their lifespan, they would not be able to enter the Celestial Realm.

The window of opportunity to become an immortal had passed.

However, the continents in the Sea of Spiritual Energy, such as the Profound Yellow Great World, still had connections with the Celestial Realm. They possessed Immortal Artifacts that could communicate with the Dao lineages of the Celestial Realm.

This was a powerful backing, as the rules of the Celestial Realm were expanding. After only tens of thousands of years, it had covered the entire mortal world, and the laws enveloped it. In the mortal world, Virtual Immortals had to undergo the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Punishment.

The Profound Yellow Great World, being the Dao lineage of Yaoguang Li Rui, would display the Wheel of Heavenly Calamities or the Undying Thunder Talisman during the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Punishment at the Virtual Immortal Realm.

This Dao lineage had methods for refining the Wheel of Heavenly Calamities and the Undying Thunder Talisman. Cultivators within the lineage would generally choose one to refine as their magic weapon.

This way, when undergoing tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation would send more laws.

After entering the Celestial Realm, they also had their own organization, thus attracting many to join them.

The other continents did not have big shots coming out to support them, especially the Buddhist and Demon clans. They had originally set up continents in the Sea of Spiritual Energy, imitating the Profound Yellow Great World, but they all moved away overnight for unknown reasons.

Outside the Celestial Realm and the mortal world, great realms such as the Buddhist Realm and the Demon Realm were newly born, worlds most suitable for Buddhist and Demon cultivators, similar to the Celestial Realm.

Beneath the World Tree, buried deep in the Sea of Spiritual Energy, where the World Tree took root, beneath that continent of Hengsha universes, a Yellow Spring River flowed silently.

The Endless Hell still existed, but since its establishment, it had little contact with the mortal world above. People only knew that it was the territory of the Lord of the Yellow Springs.

Now, in the deepest part of the Endless Hell, a great realm like the Celestial Realm was quietly born. Demons, devils, undead, and more were swarming there. It was their holy land, the supreme land of the dead!

Besides these, there were also special worlds. Some were filled with pill spirits, without humans, demons, or devils, only enchanted pills.

Some worlds were entirely composed of magic weapons, like cultivators, forming a social structure based on magic weapons.

Many worlds were born, and fate embarked on a new path.

Without a creator to guide them, wars still broke out, absorbing the power of the Celestial Realm, the Pill Realm, the Buddhist Realm, the Treasure Realm, and more. Powerful cultivators rose up in the long years, cultivating into Supreme Immortals, calling themselves Lords of Something, with earth-shattering cultivation, and began great battles, launching conquests against other worlds.

All cultivators had only one goal: the Gate of Eternal Life at the top of the World Tree. The supreme beings who created the great realms had disappeared after entering the Gate of Eternal Life.

They would not allow the Celestial Realm to exclusively possess this treasure!

The World Tree was even broken in the midst of the melee.

Within the Gate of Eternal Life, Luo Mo was in a state between waking and sleeping. He had been asleep for countless eons, and everything outside was just a shadow of foam to him.

He was drawing power, and countless spiritual lights carrying the Dao fruits of a lifetime returned. Eras changed, depicting different historical scrolls. Even Supreme Immortals, and even those who later absorbed other Supreme Immortals in the war and broke through to become Heavenly Monarchs, were just puppets on a stage.
