stjorthotic Chapter 267 Near Perfection
Chapter 267 Near Perfection
The border sea churns with angry clouds and waters, the dikes tremble with thunder and lightning.
As the ultimate vessel that carries all the heavens and myriad realms, and all the ultimate universes in the world, the Dam World has always been peaceful.
However, the waters of the Boundary Sea are filled with strange laws and are extremely turbulent. Every drop of water is an ultimate universe, a destroyed universe devoid of any life, incapable of giving birth to any hope, a universe that has been completely wiped out.
Countless such universes transformed into countless drops of water, eventually converging to form the vast and boundless Boundary Sea.
Its sheer size and grandeur cannot be described in words alone.
All universes, all worlds, all tangible and intangible spaces and dimensions within the dam world still possess vitality to varying degrees. Supported by the dam world, they have their own development. Among them, the world with the greatest and most profound influence is the Immortal Realm, which is also formed by the convergence of countless great universes.
On such a grand and vast scale.
Only time can rival it.
The history of the Immortal Realm dates back to an extremely long time ago, and the existence of the Immortal Dao system also has an ancient heritage.
The word "immortal" alone is enough to explain everything.
This was created by the Immortal Clan, jointly established by the Huaxia Immortal Clan, the True Dragon, the Phoenix, and the Qilin.
The influence of the immortal cultivation system, in particular, is far-reaching.
To become an immortal, to live as long as the Great Dao, to be immortal and indestructible, is the lifelong dream of countless races and countless beings.
Regardless of which universe or world they come from, whether through evolution or other means of transformation, in the end, there is only one path before them: the Immortal Path system. This system has endured through the ages and has had a profound and far-reaching influence.
Immortals are those who live long, are eternal, and are immortal. They can also be said to be the embodiment of a certain Dao. As long as the root of the Dao is extinguished, the immortal will never perish.
Throughout history, countless remarkable figures have aspired to become immortals. So many supreme beings, so many rulers, so many emperors, so many patriarchs—the elite from different worlds and systems—have all wanted to take a further step and achieve immortality, but how difficult that is!
The most recent immortal was named Jiang Yang, who came from a vast universe called the Guixu World and became an immortal about a hundred years ago.
Today, all the immortals in the world have fallen into decline.
The entire dam world was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.
The source of the strangeness lies on the other side of the Boundary Sea.
But this information was left by our predecessors.
The information left by our predecessors is subject to time lag.
The time span is too large.
Everything changes, and some inaccuracies are inevitable.
The truth will only be known when we cross the boundary sea and reach the other side.
Transform from the mortal world into an immortal being.
Time flies by, and the years change.
Time may be merciless, but the immortals are compassionate.
In his first life of cultivation, Yun Chen's journey lasted a very long time. He was trapped in the mortal world for a full 1.296 billion years.
Throughout his cultivation journey, he practiced what he preached at every moment. He ventured from the Upper Realm of Blue Star into the Guixu Continent, and then from the Guixu Continent into the Immortal Realm. From a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, he eventually rose to become an Immortal Emperor, finally regaining his true self and completing the Great Perfection of his first life of cultivation.
They witnessed the rise and fall of the Huaxia Immortal Clan countless times, only to be struck down and annihilated. After being oppressed, they rose again, repeating this cycle endlessly. The Huaxia Immortal Clan grew stronger with each resurgence, and each subsequent revival was more significant than the last, until a complete revival was achieved.
1.296 billion years is neither a short nor a long time.
From the perspective of the vastness of time, this amount of time is nothing, not even a drizzle, just a tiny number. The lifespan of any small planet is much longer than this.
However, this timescale is enough for far too many powerful beings to emerge, whether they are powerful beings from the Immortal Clan or other races.
The immortal race has produced generation after generation, passing away in turn, producing one peerless powerhouse after another, and creating one astonishing achievement after another.
At the same time, a large number of beings were corrupted by the strange phenomenon and turned to darkness. They entered the realm of immortality, died from the strange corruption, and the probability of their physical bodies giving birth to dark primordial spirits increased significantly.
Yun Chen personally witnessed all the changes in the ancestral land of Blue Star, observed the rise and fall of the ancestral land of China, and the strange confrontations.
Then the second life, the third life…
They are transforming into ordinary people in their ancestral land, undergoing their ultimate metamorphosis.
They have experienced countless worldly affairs, and were not even human, but transformed into countless living beings, mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, the sun, moon and stars, and all things in the world. They have cried, laughed, been hurt, been sick, suffered, been heartless, been indifferent, lived, and died... They have experienced countless changes in the world, and all their experiences are a form of spiritual practice.
As for Earth, countless changes have occurred during this period, and it has encountered many unimaginable crises. The sun went out, the moon was destroyed, and all the surrounding planets collapsed, but Earth remained there, motionless, protected by an invisible force.
The immortal race has been resurrected from the brink of death countless times, and has been oppressed by alien races countless times, yet they have always been able to rise again.
He went through nine lifetimes, a long period of mortal cultivation.
The Immortal Clan also experienced a long period of revival and continuous rise, until it spread from Blue Star to the entire Upper Realm. Eventually, even the Upper Realm was transformed by the Immortal Clan. As some people became immortals, they created the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and the Upper Realm of Blue Star was transformed into a near-perfect new world.
As for Yun Chen, he successfully transformed from the original Immortal Emperor into the Mortal Immortal Emperor. He not only gained the two prefixes "Mortal," but also experienced a comprehensive leap in power, laws, and his own myriad Great Daos and life level. His combat power soared to a very high level among Immortal Emperors.
His father, his wife, his friends, his descendants, and many fellow immortals transformed into mortal immortals, transcending the mundane world and entering the realm of immortality.
Looking across all the myriad realms, the level of immortals is extremely high, but within the Immortal Realm, it is merely the starting point.
Billions of years have passed, and the birth of a tiny universe is roughly on this scale. Even the phrase "the world changes like the sea turning into mulberry fields" feels powerless to describe it. Countless galaxies and nebulae have been destroyed and reborn.
The location of the Blue Star ancestral land has changed again and again in this exiled and protected universe. The planets and star systems next to it have changed round after round, but it has always been there, protected by the will of the Emperor.
The Celestial Clan of China has always been there.
Hundreds of billions of years is just a relatively normal time scale in the Immortal Realm. For a powerful Immortal King, a thousand deep seclusions would take about that long.
Immortal beings are immortal and indestructible, merging with the Dao. They view mortals as mortals view cicadas, living only a day and dying in the evening.
Almost all the billions of races in the world believe that there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and that the Great Dao is ruthless.
The immortals, however, believe that creation is different, but there is no difference between immortals and mortals, and that the Great Dao is both ruthless and compassionate.
Just like a fully grown dragon, it wouldn't treat a young dragon that has just hatched from its egg as an outsider. Even if it's not its own offspring, it would do its best to help the other grow because they share the same bloodline and are family.
This is the Immortal Clan, the closest race to perfection in the world.
