Chapter 953 - 952: Heavenly Realm Goodman Family
No matter in the ordinary human society, or in the world of cultivators, one often hears a phrase, "Leap beyond the Three Realms, not within the Five Elements."
This Three Realms refers to the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms.
The Earth Realm is easy to explain, as it pertains to the ghosts and spirits living in the Underworld, with the most mysterious of the Ming Clan actually being from the Earth Realm.
The scope of the Human Realm is very broad, where ordinary people are considered human, cultivators too are human, and even after ascension to high-level planes, they still cannot shed the label of being human.
As the saying goes, "It’s hard to be a human," the term ’human’ is used in an extremely broad sense, where Demon Cultivators taking human form are also deemed human, and among the Immortals in high-level planes, there exists the character for ’human’.
Therefore, Immortals are also human. Hence, the Human Realm is the largest of all realms, and within it exist countless levels, these levels referred to as different planes of existence.
Take for instance the lowest plane, the ’Lower Element World,’ which is the plane of the Origin Star System, a cultivation plane. Besides the Origin Star System, this plane hosts other civilizations, such as technological civilizations, matriarchal civilizations, Demon Clan civilizations, elf civilizations, and so forth.
Beyond the Lower Element World are higher planes like the Middle Element World, Upper Element World, and the Immortal Realm.
That’s right, the Immortal Realm is also a part of the Human Realm, except it’s the highest-level plane within the Human Realm. Immortals too are human; perhaps some immortals can achieve agelessness, but being ageless is not equivalent to being immortal.
These are two completely different concepts.
