Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

Chapter 205: Aspiration To Become A True Immortal

The reason why Tian Yongheng thought that was simple, it was because even after death, Pei Shuanzhen had been directly reincarnated into a cultivation family and didn’t have to struggle in the mortal world, even though it was only a family at the bottom of the cultivation world.

His starting point in his new life was far better than many others, which could be attributed to his Providence and karma.

Now, it all depended on whether he would be able to survive till he recovered his past life memories and came to look for Tian Yongheng for breaking the Immortal Isolation Curse.

As he continued watching, Tian Yongheng learned of a few interesting things about the world where Pei Shuanzhen had been reincarnated.

The most interesting of them all was the fact that the known cultivation realms in this world were only up till the Void Refinement Realm, which was considered the highest realm in the world.

Tian Yongheng guessed from this that either Pei Shuanzhen was reborn in a very remote area of a Great Mortal World in the Lower Realm or perhaps somewhere in the Myriad Worlds.

He believed that it should be the latter, as even though cultivators from remote areas in the Second Great Mortal World didn’t know the names of higher realms, they knew that there were further higher realms at the very least, but in Pei Shuanzhen’s case, everyone he had come into contact with in this life thought that Void Refinement Realm was the highest realm in the world, and there was immortality after it.

Which obviously wasn’t the truth, of course.

But one could indeed survive without oxygen relying only on Spirit Qi after attaining the Void Refinement Realm.

This was the reason why Tian Yongheng thought that Pei Shuanzhen must be in a small world in the Myriad Worlds.

After watching for a while, he lost interest and put the Celestial Orb of Heaven and Earth aside.

He then closed his eyes and took on a meditative stance as he tried to read and comprehend the Heavenly Questions, which he had obtained as a reward quite some time ago.

It was stated in its description that understanding all the 172 Heavenly Questions can allow one to ascend to immortality, cut off their karma and Providence with the Human Race and become a True Immortal.

Apparently, the classification of a True Immortal wasn’t tied to a title or a certain realm, but it was actually a group of some sort.

Tian Yongheng could discern that much, remembering that True Dragons are the highest of the Dragons, then True Immortals must be similar as well.

Perhaps True Immortals have some advantages over Humans. Nonetheless, I still wish to pursue this path and become a True Immortal.

But before ascending, I should still gather information about the True Immortals.

It was stated in the Truth Endeavoring Arhat’s information that he was the grand disciple of a True Immortal, which means the major factions should be aware of such beings residing in the Upper Realm.

It seems I should pay a visit to one of these major factions soon. But I have to become at least a Human Immortal and be invincible before going.

A major faction in itself is not to be underestimated. Even if I possess the ability to kill Human Immortals, who knows how many of them are hiding in all those major faction?

What if a hidden old monster jumps me out of nowhere?

It’s better to be careful and strive to reach the Half Immortal Realm first.

As he thought of this, he began to read the Heavenly Questions, which he had not even understood a percent of when he was in the Nascent Soul Realm.

It was only his speculation that he would be able to understand them after reaching the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and if he could, then his cultivation speed and Dao comprehension would be enhanced greatly.

However, what he didn’t know was that to understand even one of the 172 Heavenly Questions, a normal person had to reach at least the Immortal Ascension Realm.

It was only because of his Jade Pure Bloodline could he understand the Heavenly Questions whole being just at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

As Tian Yongheng continued to read and try to decipher the Heavenly Questions, he was pulled deep into a state of comprehension.

The Heavenly Questions were arranged in such a way that each question was more difficult to understand than the last, however, Tian Yongheng completely comprehended the first one in just a few days.

It was only when he woke up did he realize his cultivation had improved much, inching closer to the peak of the First Stage of Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

Comprehending the Heavenly Questions indeed increased cultivation speed and insights both greatly!

Without thinking further, Tian Yongheng started to comprehend the next question.

...

Central Continent, Heavenly Region.

Celestial Oracle City.

In a tall pagoda reaching up into the skies, mysterious clouds gathered above as the dense Spirit Qi filled the air, capable of instantly purifying one’s body and soul just by breathing it in.

At one of the topmost floors of the pagoda, Jiang Ruying sat with a slightly frustrated expression on her face as she rubbed her temples.

"You’re telling me you didn’t find anything, anything at all even after so long?"

She asked impatiently, looking down at a maidservant who was bowing before her.

"No, your highness. You have to be patient, as
