Chapter 1264 - 1212-1213 Gengjin, Master of Slaughter, Descends
The Human Immortal Path involves refining one’s own physical body and then continuously tempering it to unlock one’s divine hidden potential.
Whereas the Divine Immortal Path revolves around collecting authority and mastering the Path of Laws.
However, the practice of cultivation in this world begins with martial artists refining their bodies through the practice of martial arts, and after the body becomes robust enough to bear the burden, they start to evolve profound meanings by using the martial arts they’ve cultivated, ultimately perfecting the profound meanings under their control.
The profound meanings or laws are fundamental to the cultivation of martial artists in this world. Without mastery over profound meanings, they will find themselves stuck at a certain realm, unable to advance any further.
Profound meanings are the foundation of a martial artist’s strength in this world; with them, they can dominate, invoke Heavenly Earthly Force, and unleash the ultimate offensive power.
The pinnacle of cultivation in this world is known as the Emperor Realm, where only by perfecting profound meanings and transforming them into laws can one ascend to become an emperor, a realm analogous to the Immortal Path.
The significance of profound meanings seems to have merged into the essence of the world; especially powerful ones, like time and space, can lead to a grand confrontation with an emperor if cultivated to the Grand Perfection Realm, even without having transformed into laws.
Of course, to Wood Virtue Star Lord, even though there are Immortal Path Strong ones in this world, and emperors and lords are comparable to these strong ones, they still differ greatly from True Immortals.
That is because the True Immortal Realm is supposed to be a state of permanent certainty. True Immortals may fall or be suppressed, but they do not degrade.
However, the cosmic order of this world is harsh; even if one’s profound meaning evolves into a law and one ascends to become an emperor or lord comparable to a True Immortal, it does not mean eternal steadiness. If their laws are not stable, they may regress, falling back to their previous realms.
