Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Mingde Master, seeing that it was him asking, didn’t hide anything and directly explained, "Let’s address the last question first: the great being who created the path of Cultivation has long ceased to appear in the world..."

"Ceased to appear?",

Zheng Fa was even more surprised in his heart. Did it mean that such a person really existed? And that he hadn’t died?

"We don’t even know how many great beings created the methods of Cultivation, but one thing is clear: those who attain Dao Fruit do not die. You asked what a Great Cultivator is, in the view of our Five Sects, it refers to those who have attained Dao Fruit."

"Therefore, we believe they haven’t died."

After hearing this, Zheng Fa further inquired, "Dao Fruit?"

"To cultivate and achieve a Dao Fruit means to become an Immortal and an Ancestor," Mingde Master pondered for a moment then added, "The cultivation realms differ among the various sects, but they are broadly similar. I’ll only speak of my Supreme Dao."

"At the very beginning, there are Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul—these three realms, which we call the Three Realms of Transcending Mortality."

"Subsequent realms are Divinity Transformation, Yang God, and Corpse Dissolution; these constitute the Three Realms of Ascending to Immortality."

"After Corpse Dissolution, one then achieves immortality and attains Dao Fruit."

"Cheng Kong is now a Yang God, and I have already stepped into the Corpse Dissolution realm."

Mingde Master was quite sincere in his explanation, and it was the first time Zheng Fa had come to understand the full picture of cultivation.
