West of Yan Han.

On the grassland, a herdsman was driving a flock of sheep when he suddenly saw a monk in blue robes, bowing every three steps and kowtowing every nine steps, heading west.

His face was handsome, his bald head was shining, his clothes were tattered, yet his expression was exceedingly devout.

"Are you a Yan Han person?"

The herdsman shouted, "Have some sheep milk wine."

Jiang Liu'er did not stop for a moment, just continued heading west.

The herdsman stood there dumbfounded, only to see snow lotuses blooming one after another on the grassland.

And the monk's figure had already disappeared.

The herdsman looked in the direction Jiang Liu'er had left, and couldn't help but kneel down...

...

Kunlun Mountain.

The huge Divine Mountain was majestic and vast, the ancestor of world ley lines, with magnificent phenomena.

However, the Heavenly Dao Laws set by Zhong Shenxiu, who held the celestial decree, remained. Except for the mountain's own deities, since Mu Heavenly Emperor, no one from ancient times to the present has been able to step into the Kunlun Territory.

World Palace.

This place was a force jointly established by Kunlun Remnants and cultivators. Every year, cultivators came from far and wide, stopping at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Some left dejectedly, while others stayed, hoping to move the deities with sincerity. However, the deities were never moved by mortal persistence.

Among these cultivators, some had already passed down their lineages for dozens of generations, yet had never seen Kunlun show mercy until this day.

"Hey, look, what's that?"

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, a group of low-level cultivators were hunting the spirit beast yellow sheep when they suddenly saw a figure approaching Kunlun Mountain.

No, it wasn't walking, but bowing every three steps and kowtowing every nine steps.

"Hey, baldy, are you a cultivator too?"

A red-clad, sword-controlling girl laughed, "Kneeling step by step up Kunlun, that's a bit creative... But alas, others have tried it, it doesn't work."

Her laughter was full, and her voice was as pleasant as silver bells.

But Jiang Liu'er turned a deaf ear, for the Buddha he sought was in his own heart.

Because his will was firm, all hardships and humiliations felt like a gentle breeze.

"This person doesn't know what's good for him!"

A cultivator trying to please the girl released a cloud of black smoke, intending to give the baldy a lesson. But the next moment, the black smoke passed straight through Jiang Liu'er's body, as if his figure was but an illusory flower in a dream.

"This..."

The young cultivator was stunned, "Magic Domain?"

"Nascent Soul Cultivator? Or higher?"

The sword-controlling girl also bowed respectfully, "Greetings, senior!"

Jiang Liu'er turned a deaf ear, reaching the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

By then, a group of cultivators, led by the red-clad girl, had gathered around, watching as Jiang Liu'er approached the heavenly ladder.

Jiang Liu'er's face showed neither joy nor sorrow, and he slowly bowed and proceeded up the heavenly ladder.

Pa!

His steps firmly landed on the first step of the heavenly ladder, then the second, third step...

The road was there; he just needed to walk it.

Below, the red-clad girl and others were stunned, "Someone... Someone has ascended Kunlun!"

A youth's eyes flashed with brilliance as he rushed toward the steps.

But the next moment, he was rebounded, vomiting blood, still shouting, "Master... Master, take me with you, take me with you!"

"What?"

"Has someone really ascended the mountain?"

"What virtue or ability does that bald guy have to be favored by the deities?"

At this moment, countless divine senses descended, even including Nascent Soul and Refining God level!

They originally did not think much of Jiang Liu'er, after all, not even a Refining God or even a Void realm cultivator could ascend Kunlun Mountain, this was an iron law.

Yet at this moment, they were desperate enough to bang their heads against the ground, crying for missing their opportunity.

...

Kunlun Mountain.

Jiang Liu'er kowtowed again, and when he lifted his head, he finally saw the palace built of blue jade.

The nine-layered city gates thundered open, and an indifferent gaze looked down.

Just being looked at, Jiang Liu'er felt like an ant, boundless information exploding in his mind, seemingly about to drive him insane.

Beyond endless veils, there was a vague yet imposing figure.

This figure wore a three-dimensional crown resonating with the three realms of heaven, earth, and humans, and was dressed in a magnificent nine-colored cloud and mist Emperor's Robe, exuding a supremely noble aura.

"Why have you come?"

Zhong Shenxiu asked calmly.

"I come seeking the Dao."

Jiang Liu'er didn't know how his voice came out, but he simply spoke from his heart.

"Good!"

Zhong Shenxiu smiled, "Have you realized anything?"

"What I learned before, although it can reach the Void realm, is just a small vehicle Daoist skill, unable to become immortal! To become immortal, one must have the Mahayana Immortal Method!"

Jiang Liu'er expressed his insights one by one.

During his recent ascetic practice, he indeed had some realizations, but they were very incomplete.

Yet, in front of this being, he felt his thoughts explode, his comprehension greatly increased, countless ideas arose in his mind, swiftly deducing a complete Mahayana Immortal Method.

'Is this deity the symbol of wisdom, the embodiment of comprehension?'

Jiang Liu'er's heart was full of trepidation.

"Good!"

At this moment, Zhong Shenxiu spoke, "This is the Method of Immortality, the path opened after the Void realm, which can be called the — Mahayana Realm!"

The so-called 'Mahayana' realm is the profoundness of refining emptiness and harmonizing the Dao.

Of course, such a Mahayana Immortal, at most, is an independent immortal, similar to the Corpse Dissolution Immortal Position.

Therefore, the new world of immortal Dao has one final realm, known as — Harmonization!

With the body of an independent immortal, harmonizing the Innate Dao Seed, one can leap to become a Harmonization Immortal! Comparable to a True God!

'This path of immortality is finally created and can be named — Heavenly Immortal Dao!'

Zhong Shenxiu felt very emotional.

Of course, Innate Dao Seeds were scarce.

Only a few in the damp bone forest, Lost Paradise, and Red Blood Cup.

If not for seizing the only divinity from outside, this world could only produce a few Heavenly Immortals at best.

However, Zhong Shenxiu was in no rush.

After all, he had just reached True God himself.

Unless he broke through to the next great realm, a few Great Mahayana Independent Immortals in this world would suffice.

"Even if I break through to above True God, these Innate Dao Seeds are almost not enough for my own people... Outsiders shouldn't even think about it unless they go to the Three Thousand Worlds to find them..."

Everyone has selfish desires!

Zhong Shenxiu felt no guilt for his thoughts.

After all, being associated with him was the greatest opportunity!

"However, not every Mahayana Immortal Method can smoothly achieve harmonization, as the Innate Dao Seeds are fixed and already present..."

Zhong Shenxiu glanced at Jiang Liu'er, thinking to himself: 'This person's Mahayana Immortal Method leans towards the Buddhist Sect, which somewhat matches with Lost Paradise... Unfortunately, without ties or kinship, the bond is ultimately rather shallow...'

He thought for a moment and slowly spoke, "The era of the end of Dharma is approaching, and the absolute barrier will descend. At that time, Kunlun will form its own realm, rising to the heavens. You may cultivate here in peace, and when the time comes, ascend to the Heavenly Realm together!"

"End of Dharma? Heavenly Realm?!"

Jiang Liu'er was moved with dread, even his Buddha heart, unmoved by the external world, couldn't help but be shaken, "Is it the Heavenly Realm where only immortals can ascend? Once separated from the Heavenly Person and encountering the end of Dharma, those who haven't become immortals will likely perish in the calamity..."
