Chapter 1319: Hunyi Immortal Wall (II)

The full name of the Hunyi Golden Core Mysterious Method was the Supreme Mysterious Method of the Immortal Dao Seeking Transformation Hunyi Golden Core. It shared the same origin as the True Insight Profound Method that Lu Jiangxian obtained on the Three Drums Wall, both being written in seal script.

The difference was that the True Insight Profound Method was contained within the dharma relic Three Drums Wall and was an immortal art for cultivating the true and obtaining the gold. On the other hand, the Hunyi Golden Core Mysterious Method was a supreme method used by ancient immortals to evade calamities, establish the azure firmament, hold a fruition while retaining surplus, and preserve a position to obtain an intercalary one.

This Hunyi Golden Core Mysterious Method was concise in wording yet boundless in transformations, spanning nearly ten million characters. It elaborated in detail according to different transformations. Its contents were virtually inexhaustible. Its primary purpose and guidance were to teach cultivators how to reside in a Fruition Attainment while obtaining one of several Surplus Positions, and how to attain one of several Intercalary Positions without departing from the Fruition Attainment.

The cultivators referred to in this text were already Dao Embryo Realm immortals as understood by ordinary cultivators. There were only a very few of them in the present age.

The greatest use for this immortal method could not be applied for the moment, now that it was in Lu Jiangxian’s hands. At most, it could provide a small convenience when writing methods for Chi Buzi to seek the Golden Core Realm. The dual cultivation method and the Intercalary Position method were not very similar, offering help only from an extremely elevated perspective.

Yet the second use of this immortal method was not to be underestimated, namely avoiding calamities and establishing the azure firmament. This method could erase one’s traces in the present age, preventing detection by others, and could also use inherent rank to conceal a grotto heaven and construct an immortal realm.

The Immortal Mirror’s inherent rank is extremely high, so erasing traces is nothing to speak of, but the latter is a genuine ancient method for constructing an immortal realm.

This method of constructing an immortal realm was by no means a matter of casually hanging a grotto heaven in the great void. In ancient times, surplus and intercalary positions were complete, and opening a grotto heaven was easy. One could even establish a cave dwelling within a spirit artifact. The secret realms opened by ordinary cultivators within spirit artifacts or treasured lands were the lowest grade, referred to as halls or caves, and they had long since all collapsed with the transformations of heaven and earth.

Only the secret realms opened by major sects and great powers in the great void, relying on treasured lands, had a chance to be passed down to the present. Those of imperial families were usually palaces, while those of immortal cultivators were usually halls. As long as these were well sealed, they could still be preserved to this day.

The Great Ning Palace of that era was precisely such a case. However, such secret realms could also undergo transformations from changes in the spiritual aura of the manifested world, suddenly appearing in the present world or occasionally revealing some kind of opening.

There was also an extremely special category among these secret realms, namely the blessed lands of the Purple Smoke Gate and Hengzhu Dao Gate.

Only after obtaining the Hunyi Golden Core Mysterious Method did Lu Jiangxian gain an understanding of these blessed lands. Blessed lands were usually created by Golden Core Realm cultivators. By expending one’s divine ability cultivation, a location could be linked to a Fruition Attainment, causing various anomalies to appear there. This would be more beneficial to certain types of cultivators, and could even aid a particular constitution in breaking through Foundation Establishment Realm, refining divine abilities, or seeking a Fruition Attainment.

The highest grade was a grotto heaven opened by a True Monarch relying on a Fruition Attainment, referred to as a heaven. If this True Monarch were extremely powerful and the grotto heaven vast, it might even be called a dharma realm, which would be astonishingly immense.

What the Hunyi Golden Core Mysterious Method provided was a technique for constructing a grotto heaven and separating heaven and earth. This immortal realm relied on inherent rank and was not anchored in the great void nor attached to a dharma artifact. At the level of an immortal art, it depended on only two things, inherent rank and divine ability mana.

With this method, the two effects overlapped, meaning that he could rely on inherent rank to open a grotto heaven and silently create a gateway in the manifested world, truly allowing others to enter with their physical bodies.

As for Lu Jiangxian, what he lacked least was inherent rank. There was already a world within the mirror. It was only that he had not understood this path before and could only draw in souls.

In an instant, he turned to look at the mirror world behind him, faintly visible amid the clouds, and his understanding of this world surged to its peak in a moment.

The methods of this world were likewise exceedingly profound. It was anchored to the Immortal Mirror and completely isolated from the great void, half illusory and half real. This was why he was nearly invincible here. If one wished to communicate with the great void, one first had to rely on the Immortal Mirror, yet the Immortal Mirror itself was unfathomably lofty and thus entirely undetectable by others.

However, this also carried drawbacks. The Immortal Mirror itself did not guide others. There was only a single path for outsiders to enter this realm, to come into contact with the Immortal Mirror’s true body. One had to link soul and destiny to the Exalted Immortal Mirror through calculations and soul searching, and only then was entry possible.

When Lu Jiangxian first obtained this world, it was merely a mountain range beneath a gray and murky sky. At that time, Lu Jiangxian was already the ruler of this place, sealed off within and without while unable to interact with the outside world. Later, as Lu Jiangxian’s strength gradually increased, this mirror world also gradually changed in appearance.

This world contained both the real and the illusory. The immortal palace above the clouds was naturally a manifestation of a single thought, but the mountain range beneath the clouds was entirely real. Now that he possessed the Hunyi Golden Core Mysterious Method, he could forcibly open an entrance in the manifested world and allow others to enter.

If Chi Buzi were taken as an example, he could now enter this place with his physical body. For him, once he was inside, whether it was the immortal palace above the clouds or the ruined mountain range below, all of it could be seen and touched, with no difference between them.

However, if he were to take things out, anything from the heavens would only emerge as a strand of Supreme Yin Moonlight, whereas the stones and soil of the mountain range beneath the clouds could be truly carried out.

In truth, whether it is real or false makes little difference to them. I would never allow them to take anything out. Even a single pebble from this mirror world could become a lethal poison once outside.

As Lu Jiangxian’s strength slowly increased, he didn’t dare to imagine how terrifying the enemy who had shattered the Immortal Mirror into this state in his previous life must have been. Such a being was certainly on the level of an immortal. This mountain range had no memory of how many cataclysmic battles it had endured or how many traces they had left behind. How could he afford to be careless?

More importantly, the issue was not merely one of entry and exit. Lu Jiangxian strongly suspected that the Immortal Mirror concealed a complete Supreme Yin Fruition Attainment. If it were to be connected to the outside world, the Hunyi Golden Core Mysterious Method could indeed conceal traces from others, but the reaction of heaven and earth sensing a Supreme Yin Fruition Attainment could not be falsified. At that time, all manner of auspicious phenomena would surge forth. Whether it was Mount Luoxia or the Underworld’s judiciary, each would likely become more tense than the last. Even if they could not find him, it would still amount to shaking the grass and startling the snake.

However, this world came bundled with the Immortal Mirror itself. That did not mean Lu Jiangxian could not rely on the Hunyi Golden Core Mysterious Method to open up another world altogether. The extremely high inherent rank granted to him by the Immortal Mirror, along with the abundance of high quality and inexhaustible divine ability mana, were precisely the finest resources to fuel the Hunyi Golden Core Mysterious Method in constructing the azure firmament.

He merely raised his hand. His robes billowed as boundless radiance gathered within his palm. Countless wondrous ideas surged through his mind, and specks of white light appeared in his hand, blending together into a mass of pure ivory light.

This mass of pure ivory light continued to expand, yet it did not communicate with the great void in the slightest. Shielded by the Hunyi Golden Core Mysterious Method, earth, water, fire, and wind continued to emerge, releasing wave after wave of profound light.

“Only by relying on my own inherent rank, nurturing and creating a new world, and truly opening a heavenly palace realm to communicate solely with the manifested world, can I allow the Li Family to enter, influence the greater currents of the world, and gather the fragments!”
