Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 520 - 516: Two Ways to Enter the Immortal Realm
Senior Yuyou explained in great detail, without considering whether Shen Han had previously understood it.
He recounted from the beginning the path to entering the True Immortal Realm for Shen Han.
Senior Yuyou outlined two methods here.
The first method requires sufficient physical strength and mental strength.
One uses the mental state to push the body forward, refining and tempering the physical body, allowing it to transform.
At this stage, if the mental state is insufficient, it won’t be able to drive the body forward.
If the physical strength is inadequate, it can’t withstand the tempering, making transformation difficult.
This might even lead to backlash, causing significant problems in one’s body.
“This method is the most straightforward and righteous approach; true experts use this method to advance.
If possible, Shen Han, you should also advance using this method.
Taking shortcuts is ultimately a crooked path and will be detrimental in the future.”
Shen Han didn’t know what kind of shortcuts were, upon hearing it, he just nodded.
Then, as he listened further, Shen Han gradually understood.
The second method is actually what Senior Yuyou referred to as taking shortcuts.
In the Divine Land, almost everyone practices the Divine Soul Technique.
But when some people find it challenging to enter the True Immortal Realm, they resort to unsound ideas.
If the physical strength is inadequate, then they rely on their Divine Soul power.
This led to the emergence of another method for advancing to the True Immortal Realm.
Consuming one’s own Divine Soul, which is nurtured by one’s own vitality and blood.
By consuming one’s Divine Soul, there won’t be any rejection reaction, and it directly elevates the body’s strength by a level.
But the problem is evident; those worth consuming their Divine Souls have nurtured them for decades, even over a hundred years.
Consuming their Divine Soul requires nurturing it again, which takes decades, maybe even a century.
Moreover, forcibly entering the True Immortal Realm with this method results in a noticeable power gap compared to others in the True Immortal Realm.
Shen Han naturally wouldn’t choose this method.
The reason he wanted to enter the Immortal Realm was that the power of the Immortal Realm was sufficient for self-preservation.
It would qualify him to confront Luo Zuchen.
Not merely to enter the Immortal Realm for its own sake.
Shen Han wouldn’t confuse the ends with the means because of this.
After explaining the methods of advancement, Senior Yuyou started to introduce the benefits of the True Immortal Realm to Shen Han.
The first benefit is the significant leap in physical strength.
The life force of an Immortal Realm expert is exponentially stronger compared to others.
The life of an ordinary person is likened to a candle.
After entering the Immortal Realm, this life force resembles a blazing furnace.
An increase in life force also accompanies an increase in lifespan.
After entering the Immortal Realm, a person’s age spans at least four hundred years.
For those who haven’t entered the Immortal Realm, reaching two hundred years is generally the limit.
If maintained well, an Immortal Realm expert can live for seven to eight hundred years.
After saying this, Senior Yuyou went silent.
The other benefits of the Immortal Realm mainly involve a direct increase in the strength of cultivation techniques.
Senior Yuyou didn’t bother to explain this further since everyone knew it.
When one’s strength and realm improve, so does one’s skill set inevitably.
“Shen Han, though I often urge you to have aspirations, to actively strive for these powers,
for this Forbidden Land training, you must maintain a calm demeanor.
You are already quite capable, and if you don’t manage to enter the True Immortal Realm, don’t lose heart.
In my opinion, you are certainly destined to enter the Immortal Realm someday.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Han nodded.
He was indeed impatient, as his heart had longed to return to Great Wei.
In about ten days, the Forbidden Land of Snow Mountain House will open.
Shen Han asked Senior Yuyou about the mystical nature of this Secret Realm, wanting to know what it truly was.
Since he was about to go there, he genuinely needed to understand more.
Through Senior Yuyou’s response, Shen Han learned that each entry into this Forbidden Land is different, making it quite mysterious.
Furthermore, it is a secret of Snow Mountain House; they won’t disclose its mysteries to outsiders.
Others’ understanding of Snow Mountain House relies on word of mouth.
The knowledge passed on in this way differs greatly between individuals.
Precisely due to this, previously, the Sect Leader and others didn’t guide Shen Han on the journey to the Forbidden Land.
What it would be like upon entering, no one could say.
Over more than a month, daily intensive cultivation with Senior Yuyou made time fly by.
The additional slot for the Star Tower was given to a female disciple named Guan Xinyi.
She is significantly older than Shen Han, nearly a decade older.
This demonstrates that for Outer Domain disciples, reaching this age is typically required to even approach the edge of the True Immortal Realm.
The True Immortal Realm still felt very distant.
A week before heading to the Forbidden Land of Snow Mountain House, both of them paused their cultivation temporarily.
They aimed to face the Forbidden Land journey with the best possible mindset.
It might involve cooperation and mutual assistance; Shen Han got to know Senior Sister Guan Xinyi.
Senior Sister Guan wore her long hair up, secured with a hairpin.
Though a senior sister, Guan Xinyi looked very mature, resembling a married woman.
Her every action exuded a gentle grace, speaking slowly and softly.
Perhaps due to Shen Han earning the privilege to enter the Forbidden Land,
Guan Xinyi was especially courteous to Shen Han, even with a hint of reverence.
It even made Shen Han a bit unaccustomed.
…
Snow Mountain House, Yao Family Patriarch’s Courtyard.
The Patriarch of the Yao Family sat upright, holding a cup of tea, his brow furrowed.
“Qingyun took action against Shen Han during the mountain competition this time, making such a big scene. You all tell me, how should this matter be handled?”
Hearing these words from his great-grandfather, Yao Zhonggu and his wife both frowned, not knowing what to say.
Seeing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law remain silent, the Yao Family Patriarch spoke again.
“Qingyun used to be a maid of Jun Wumo, this matter is not really a secret.
Huo Yuan is not a fool; he will quickly investigate Jun Wumo.
Will Jun Wumo expose our Yao Family?”
The tone of the Yao Family Patriarch carried a sense of reproach.
Shen Han’s performance during the mountain exploration has already spread.
Now, even the Inner Domain sects are talking about Shen Han’s confrontation with Qingyun.
As they talk, they also speculate, wondering about the reason behind it.
Why did these two fight in the first place?
It would have been fine if they just fought, but why make such a fuss, refusing to let go?
The Yao Family is now worried about this matter.
“Zhonggu, you tell me how to handle this matter.
If it’s revealed that Snow Mountain House took action against Shen Han, consider what kind of outcome it will be.
This matter was caused by you two; have you thought about how to handle it?”
The Yao Family Patriarch spoke with a very restrained tone.
In fact, he almost wanted to curse.
But considering that they are his grandson and granddaughter-in-law and are a generation apart, he restrained himself slightly.
If it were his own son, he would have already cursed.
This matter was handled extremely poorly.
“Great-grandfather, before I came, I already visited the Jun Family.
They know what to do, and Qingyun will not implicate the Jun Family.
This matter ended with her.”
Hearing this, the Yao Family Patriarch chuckled lightly.
“It ended with her?
You all speak too simply about this matter.
Qingyun is no longer Jun Wumo’s maid; how she thinks doesn’t matter, what matters is how Huo Yuan thinks.
Now that his precious disciple is injured, he has grievances against Shen Han, that’s one aspect.
But would he not investigate the reason?
Do you not know Huo Yuan’s capabilities?
Would it be fine if Qingyun says nothing?”
The continuous questioning by the Yao Family Patriarch left Yao Zhonggu and his wife speechless.
“Currently, there are already many in the Divine Land who are dissatisfied with us.
Over the years, the demands we raised at Snow Mountain House have been increasingly harsh.
This year’s demands being fulfilled is actually a good thing for us.
We not only obtained the scripture techniques in the Secret Realm, but also practically demonstrated to others that the demands made by Snow Mountain House are not impossible for everyone to achieve.
Now, if outsiders learn we took action against Shen Han.
He just qualified for the training in Snow Mountain House’s Forbidden Land, and we wanted his life.
Consider how the entire Inner Domain and Divine Land would think of us in such a situation?”
The Yao Family Patriarch paused for a moment, then looked at his grandson and granddaughter-in-law again.
“Besides, haven’t you heard any other news?
That Shen Han is also said to have some connection with the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect.
Rumor has it that Shen Han is the illegitimate son of the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Leader Yu You.
Haven’t you looked into this?”
The further he spoke, the angrier the Yao Family Patriarch seemed to become.
Yao Zhonggu and his wife, hearing this scolding, could only bow their heads, frowning, and didn’t know what they were thinking.
“Speak, why are you two remaining silent?
The Yao Family will be handed over to you in the future.
Snow Mountain House will also depend on you in the future.
When encountering problems, a solution must be figured out; will someone else handle it just by remaining silent?
What will you do when you are in charge of overseeing the overall situation in the future?”
After hearing the Yao Family Patriarch’s words, Yao Zhonggu slowly began to speak.
“Great-grandfather, this matter shouldn’t cause such serious problems…
Logically speaking, it should be Shen Han who is more worried.
He took action against that child Qingyun, destroying her hands.
Huo Yuan’s focus should be on Shen Han…”
The Yao Family Patriarch did not refute this, agreeing that it was one possibility.
“But what if Huo Yuan pursues the origin of this matter, then what?
Shouldn’t we consider the plans and preparations now?
Also, during this mountain exploration, that child Wanning voluntarily went to see it.
Presumably, it’s because of that Shen Han.
What should we do about Shen Han, have we thought about it?”
Yao Wanning’s identity is special, and Shen Han’s identity is similarly not one to be trifled with.
The situation faced by Snow Mountain House is currently indeed quite troublesome.
