Chapter 309: What is Immortal God
"Immortals and Gods? With your cultivation level, you could also qualify as an Immortal or a God, right?"
Qin Jun cut off Old Man Yi’s words to ask, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that in the eyes of mortals, with Qin Jun’s current cultivation, he was a god!
Even further down, those in the Ascending Mortal Realm were also regarded as god-like beings, because they stood at the pinnacle of the kingdom.
In Qin Jun’s understanding, the distinction between Immortals and Gods was relative; in his eyes, Old Man Yi, Yuan Hong, and Lei Zhenzi all qualified as Immortals and Gods.
"It’s not as simple as you think. The Human Clan practices energy refining and seeks longevity. Even I have an end to my lifespan. Only by Becoming a God can one achieve immortality, and to Become a God, one needs the recognition of the Heavenly Dao and a position among the celestial ranks."
Old Man Yi shook his head and explained, causing Qin Jun to suddenly understand.
If the mythologies of Huaxia were linked together as a system, the celestial court led by the Jade Emperor was established via the Investiture of the Gods, and each Immortal and God had their own duties, managing the laws of heaven and earth.
Of course, strictly speaking, the mythologies of Huaxia are independent, but linked together they can still make sense, fitting perfectly with the operating rules of this cultivation world.
One could at least infer this world from the connected mythologies.
In the mythology of Huaxia, Hongjun represents the Heavenly Dao, and the Investiture of the Gods he issued is akin to his permission, allowing people to become Immortals and Gods.
Cultivation level is mere personal strength; if not recognized by the Heavenly Dao, one is ultimately just a formidable being, such as Ti Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the Kunpeng Giant Bird from the celestial court of the Primordial Chaos.
