Tianyi tried every way to prevent Xi Ri’s soul dissipation. He even consulted Xia ng and the other immortal officials. Most of the immortal officials were supre experts of their ti, but could not stand the passage of ti. To extend their life, they entered a hibernation state to wait for the mont the Buzhou Immortal Sect returned to beco the Immortal Court.
Who knows, maybe they knew a thod that had long been lost in modern tis.
Alas, Tianyi returned disappointed as none of the ancient existences of the Immortal Court had a thod to stop an earth immortal’s dissipating soul. Tianyi even attempted to stop Xi Ri’s dissipating soul by sending him into his inner universe.
Even inside the Nine Heavens Universe, where he was almost omnipotent, Tianyi could not prevent Xi Ri’s soul dissipation. Neither could he forcibly transform Xi Ri into a seamless immortal. At best, Tianyi could slow down the dissipation of his soul.
Currently, there were two thods for Xi Ri to prevent his soul from dissipating. The first thod was to comprehend a complete law and beco a seamless immortal. However, the chances of Xi Ri comprehending a worldly law were smaller than an earth immortal that failed their lightning tribulation.
The soul was the foundation of all life. The weaker the soul, the harder it was to comprehend the worldly laws. In essence, it was impossible for Xi Ri to take this path.
The second thod was to inscribe Xi Ri’s na onto the scroll that Xia ng took out during the Immortal Official Confernt Ceremony. However, that scroll, along with the other conferred immortal officials, were helping Tianyi ascend the Huang Realm. He had to wait until the Huang Realm finished upgrading, and by then, it might be too late.
Furthermore, Tianyi couldn’t add Xi Ri’s na to the scroll, as he liked. The scroll already reached the limit of nas it could hold. The immortal officials weren’t just upgrading the Huang Realm, but they were restoring the scroll’s power in the process.
And even if the scroll regained its forr power and could hold more nas, plenty of old tirs from the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s history were waiting to join the scroll. If Tianyi forced Xi Ri’s na onto it, he would receive the Immortal Court’s criticism.
It was not that Tianyi couldn’t withstand the criticism. It would not be a lie to say his current position was no less crucial than the scroll itself. His importance might change in the future, but now was the present.
No, what Tianyi feared was dragging down his mother, ngfei. She would receive criticism by association. ngfei wouldn’t care for these criticisms either, but this was a crucial point.
There was currently an unprecedented chance for ngfei. As long as she grasped it, she would likely imdiately break through to beco a divinity, but there were also hibernating immortal sovereigns vying for the chance.
Tianyi would never be able to forgive himself if he caused ngfei to lose this precious chance.
Currently, Tianyi, Daoyi, and Xi Ri sat inside the main hall of the Nine Heavens Palace with a gloomy air hanging over them.
Tianyi sighed. “Although it’s not ideal, how about spending your ti inside the Nine Heavens Universe until a solution can be found? I’ll suppress the dissipation of your soul and slow the ti around you.”
Xi Ri shook his head. “How is that any different from living in a cage?”
“What are you talking about? It’s just a temporary arrangent until a solution can be found!”
“What solution is there? There isn’t a thod even in the inheritance of the Immortal Court. How could a solution be found?” Xi Ri asked. “It’s not like I’m the protagonist of so novel, and a miracle will happen.”
“Besides, it’s not all bad,” Xi Ri said. He leaned back against his chair. “Since I’m going to die, there’s no need to worry about whether or not I form an inner devil or not. In fact, I think the embryonic inner devil has disappeared. All I need to do now is enjoy the rest of my life. So, don’t mind leeching off of you, okay?”
Tianyi tried to smile. It felt like Xi Ri had returned to before the incident in the Xi Dynasty. However, no matter how much his lips curled, they would inevitably return to their flat position.
“Hmpf, dream on. I’m not going to give you freebies. If you want to live well, you better think of a way to comprehend a complete law and beco a seamless immortal,” he said.
Xi Ri laughed, but he was the only one that did so.
Tianyi suddenly looked toward the entrance. His eyes pierced through the walls of the Nine Heaven Palace and focused on the figure standing outside the palace gates.
“Grand Elder Nine Heavens, I hope you don’t mind an old man like visiting,” Xia ng said.
Tianyi’s eyes lit up. The only reason Xia ng would look for him was either for the ascension of the Huang Realm or for Xi Ri’s problem. Nothing wrong happened with the Huang Realm’s ascension, so it must be for the latter.
The palace gates swung open, and Xia ng entered. It didn’t take for him to enter the main hall. “Oh, Xi Ri is also here. Good.”
“Grand Elder Xia, did you find a thod to solve Xi Ri’s problem?” Tianyi asked.
“So impatient,” Xia ng said with a laugh. “But I did indeed discover a solution while looking through the records. However, it’s not perfect.”
Tianyi’s smile dimd a bit. “What are the drawbacks?”
“It’s nothing extre, just that his path will be different from other immortals,” Xia ng said. “Have you heard of the rit path?”
“rit path?” Not just Tianyi, but Daoyi and Xi Ri also repeated Xia ng’s words.
“Is it a branch of three cultivation paths?” Tianyi asked.
Immortal cultivation had three orthodox paths: spirit, martial, and soul. No matter which one or how many a cultivator took, they would all end at the sa point. Strictly speaking, Tianyi’s cultivation path could no longer be considered part of the orthodox thod.
All seven grades of the Nine-Five Scripture were a combination of the three cultivation paths, the problem was Tianyi. Because he absorbed the tribulation essence in the Foundation Establishnt Realm and made it his own, it paved the way for his future. He made the tribulation essence and, by extension, the source within his own and rged it with his foundation. All of this resulted in a new path unique to him.
Tianyi called it the universe path.
“The rit path is not considered part of the orthodox paths. Although it is an unorthodox path, it does not conflict with the orthodox paths.”
Most unorthodox paths relied on external influences to cultivate. For example, the blood path. A user of the blood path must absorb a large amount of blood to cultivate, the higher the quality, the better. However, high-quality blood is hard to find. As a result, blood cultivators usually massacre many lives, focusing on quantity instead of quality.
Most unorthodox paths had similar characteristics. As a result, they were all grouped as devilish cultivators. Of course, devilish cultivators have never gained the upper hand against orthodox cultivators.
Those that cultivate the unorthodox paths can dramatically increase their strength in a short amount of ti. At least, until before the Immortal Realm. So the orthodox cultivators always had more experts than those of the devilish cultivators. Even at the sa level, orthodox cultivators usually exceeded unorthodox cultivators in power.
Orthodox cultivators relied on a strong foundation and understanding the worldly laws to cultivate. Everything was internal and their own. Unorthodox had to rely on external powers to cultivate. As a result, they could not display the sa amount of strength as orthodox cultivators in the sa realm.
“The rit path also relies on external resources to ascend, but as you can guess, it’s nothing like blood or sin,” Xia ng said. “The cultivator has to rge rit into their body, and they don’t need to undergo Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation. They will beco a rit immortal as soon as they reach the qualifications. Because they cultivate using rit, the possibility of people attacking them is not high, much less killing them. Anyone who attacks such a ritorious individual would be stained with karmic sin.”
“What about the downsides?” Tianyi asked.
“The only downsides are that the cultivator’s strength will be below average for his realm. And he will never be able to beco a divinity.”
“What about becoming a seamless or extremity immortal?”
Xia ng smiled. “They can. In fact, it’s easier for them to reach that level than other cultivators, and they will still have the longevity of a true immortal. Like becoming an immortal, they just need to accumulate energy. Their rit qi will reach the level of a five-step seamless immortal or extremity immortal. However, without mastery of the law, even an ordinary immortal monarch can defeat a rit emperor.”
Tianyi held his chin. Although it was a pity that rit cultivators couldn’t beco divinities, but this was already a good result. Furthermore, he believed that Xi Ri will at least be able to master a complete law. He turned toward his cousin. “What do you think?”
“I think it’s good,” Xi Ri said. He had a hint of excitent in his eyes. Even though he had resigned himself for death, that didn’t an he didn’t wish to live.
“Are you sure?” Tianyi asked. “There’s possibly a better alternative. Once you step on this path, there is no going back.”
“What’s there to hesitate? If I’m not wrong, it is not easy to beco a rit immortal. The amount of rit that must be accumulated must not be small. Am I right, Grand Elder Xia?”
Xia ng nodded. “Even with the thod, it is a race against ti. Of course, the higher you go on the rit path, the slower your soul will dissipate.”
“Then what are we waiting for?”
Xia ng didn’t answer Xi Ri. He looked at Tianyi instead. At his gaze, Daoyi and Xi Ri directed their gaze towards Tianyi.
“Why are you looking at ? It’s Xi Ri’s decision. Since he has chosen this path, what’s there to hesitate about?” Tianyi asked.
“In that case.” Sect Master reached into his sleeves and pulled out a jade slip. Unlike ordinary jade slips, this one exuded a golden glow.
Xi Ri took the jade slip and inserted his spiritual sense into it. His eyes glazed over as he accepted the rit path thod.
“Since the thod has been given, I’ll take my leave now. If you need anything, just contact ,” Xia ng said as he turned around to leave. “Oh, and I don’t think you need to say this, but don’t spread it.”
“Thank you very much!” Tianyi called out as he escorted Xia ng out.
When he returned, Xi Ri was still accepting the rit path thod. Tianyi glanced at Daoyi and let out a sigh of relief. Daoyi also smiled back. The weight on their hearts was finally lifted.
After a week, Xi Ri finally awoke from his trance, and the jade slip shattered into dust. “Whew, it contained a lot more information than I expected. Not just the portion pertaining to becoming a rit immortal, but the jade slip also included everything up to the rit sovereign level.”
“Have you thought of a plan to earn rit?” Tianyi asked. To gain karmic rit, you must make the Heavenly Dao acknowledge your actions are for the good of the world. Also, deliberately creating problems, only to solve them later, will only earn karmic sin.
If it was after the Huang Realm ascended, Tianyi had confidence to skew the amount of rits Xi Ri earned for each contribution to its highest limit. Alas, that was impossible now.
“Yeah. I’m going to create a nation in a barren land and increase the population,” Xi Ri said. There are a few thods to gain rit, such as sacrificing resources to strengthen the realm or increasing its population.
He turned to Tianyi. “Do you know any place like this?”
The barren in Xi Ri’s mouth didn’t an a land with no vegetation, like a desert or a wasteland, but a place with little spiritual qi.
“I do,” Tianyi said. He waved his hand, and all three of them disappeared from the Nine Heavens Palace.
