This is the memory world of the strong in the Nirvana Realm, and Fang Chen is like the closest spectator, accompanying this powerful being from birth as he gradually becomes a supreme existence that can overlook the entire Spirit Realm Continent.
"Wow~~~"
In a large estate, with a loud cry, a baby was born.
The baby born in this estate is the only son of the estate owner, named Lu Haotian.
From a young age, Lu Haotian displayed extraordinary talent in martial arts. He began cultivating at six years old and completed the entire Body Refinement Realm by ten. After that, he paused at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm and the threshold of the Qi Boundary for a whole year before finally stepping into the Qi Boundary. Even so, at just eleven years old, Lu Haotian was still the youngest Qi Master within hundreds of miles.
At the same time, his reputation as a genius spread rapidly. After all, an eleven-year-old Qi Master is still extremely eye-catching.
……
The scene shifts to the next moment.
Now grown into a young man, Lu Haotian stands in mid-air, looking down like a deity at a group of young men and women of similar age below. Amid their fearful and astonished gazes, he slowly extends his fair hand and strikes down towards the ground.
Boom!
With one strike, everything was obliterated. Lu Haotian laughed wildly and then turned to leave.
At this time, he was just over twenty years old but had already become a strong being in the Primordial Embryo Realm!
……
Fang Chen has been accompanying Lu Haotian as he grew up.
"After all, it's just a wisp of True Soul; what a pity," he suddenly sighed.
In the memory world of Lu Haotian, his experiences were not gradual from birth; often, he underwent leaps in growth. For instance, one moment he might be five years old, and the next, he could very well be ten.
Why does this happen? Fang Chen understood clearly that it was primarily due to his use of the Heavenly Theft Technique. What he accessed was merely a strand of Lu Haotian's True Soul, not his entire soul. With just a strand of True Soul, it was naturally impossible to remember everything.
However, this leap in growth would undoubtedly cause many important things to be lost, and what Fang Chen wanted to see might very well be overlooked entirely!
"I hope there will be more memories about the Daoist Master Realm and Nirvana Realm during that time," he silently prayed.
The martial insights from Lu Haotian's period below the Heavenly Realm held little value for Fang Chen; at most, they could serve as references to confirm each other and possibly inspire his own progress. After all, in his previous life, he was already a martial artist at the Heavenly Realm. The Daoist Master Realm and Nirvana Realm were different. These were realms where unparalleled powerhouses had not appeared in the Great Zhao Kingdom for a long time, aside from the Ziyang Sect and a few neighboring small countries. Considering how difficult it was to reach the Daoist Master Realm illustrates the challenge even more, let alone achieving Nirvana Realm above it.
If he could experience these two realms alongside Lu Haotian, the benefits for Fang Chen would be beyond words. It would be akin to suddenly having a bright path laid out before him in a previously pitch-black space.
This was true Supreme Creation!
As time passed, Fang Chen accompanied Lu Haotian from the Primordial Embryo Realm all the way to the peak of the Heavenly Realm, with only one step remaining to reach the Daoist Master Realm.
At this point, Lu Haotian had already become a renowned powerhouse in his country and was regarded as an ancestor-like figure within his Sect.
"Daoist Master Realm, supreme in martial arts; when one speaks, Dao Law follows; who would dare not comply?" In the secret chamber, Lu Haotian murmured to himself, his face shining with longing. Suddenly, this longing transformed into an undeniable determination.
Inside Lu Haotian's body, Fang Chen felt a surge of excitement at this scene.
"My path is the Nether!" In the secret chamber, Lu Haotian's voice boomed like thunder, his expression solemn. At that moment, divine patterns emanating deathly, withered, and cold energy suddenly floated around him from the void like snowflakes swirling about.
"Entering the Dao through the Nether; this is the Nether God Pattern manifested only when Dark Power is comprehended to its utmost!" Fang Chen watched intently at this scene and thought to himself.
"Could this really allow him to break through to the Daoist Master Realm?" he wondered.
Unlike the previous realms, the transition from the Heavenly Realm to the Daoist Master Realm is like a vast chasm, causing many powerful beings in the Great Zhao Kingdom at the Heavenly Realm to only gaze up at the Daoist Master Realm from afar, unable to truly step into it.
While the difficulty of breaking through to the Daoist Master Realm is indeed a significant factor, another important reason is that crucial information and heritage regarding how to break through to this level are extremely rare throughout the Great Zhao Kingdom, and are primarily held by a few ancient and powerful sects. Even in his past life, Fang Chen was unable to obtain this knowledge.
"I still need one more thing," Fang Chen murmured. This was a conclusion he had drawn in his previous life; to break through to the Daoist Master Realm, mere comprehension of the Dao is insufficient. A key item is also required, but what that item is remains unknown to Fang Chen.
Moreover, Lu Haotian's memories are fragmented, and Fang Chen has no idea what he had prepared for breaking through to the Daoist Master Realm. However, it seems that this moment is about to reveal itself before him.
Fang Chen held his breath and watched intently.
Around Lu Haotian, more and more Divine Patterns began to float. With each additional Divine Pattern, Lu Haotian's aura grew increasingly dense. By the time the number of Divine Patterns surrounding him reached nine hundred ninety-nine, his aura had already peaked at a level belonging to the Heavenly Realm. However, being at the Heavenly Realm still meant he had not yet broken through to the Daoist Master Realm. The Divine Patterns around him had clearly reached their limit and could not increase further.
At that moment, Lu Haotian flipped his palm, and suddenly a black-yellow flame appeared in midair before him. As this black-yellow flame emerged, the atmosphere filled with death, decay, and coldness surged violently.
"This is..." Fang Chen's heart skipped a beat as he fixed his gaze on the black-yellow flame before Lu Haotian.
"Netherfire, burn yourself!" At that moment, Lu Haotian, seated cross-legged, suddenly shouted. Simultaneously, the black-yellow flame that was originally only palm-sized flickered and rapidly expanded until it completely enveloped Lu Haotian along with all of his Nether God Patterns within moments.
Crackle!
Under the scorching of the Netherfire, Lu Haotian furrowed his brows tightly, clearly enduring immense pain as his Nether God Patterns began to melt away in the flames. The melting Nether God Patterns mixed with the power of the Netherfire transformed into drops of black-yellow liquid that entered Lu Haotian's body.
As these pea-sized drops of black-yellow liquid entered Lu Haotian's body, his aura—previously solidified at the peak of the Heavenly Realm—unexpectedly began to rise again!
"Burning oneself with fire and merging Divine Patterns into one; so this is the true method to reach the Daoist Master Realm!" Fang Chen's eyes were glued to this scene, his heart trembling with excitement.
It is well known that Nirvana Realm experts need to ignite their Dao fire and burn themselves; however, few realize that achieving the Daoist Master Realm also requires undergoing such a self-immolation process—like refining oneself by merging one's power to its utmost!
Boom!
At that moment, a sudden loud noise echoed in the secret chamber, and the powerful aura emanating from Lu Haotian continued to rise, as if it had reached a critical point, finally undergoing a qualitative change. A terrifying presence that far surpassed the Heavenly Realm suddenly radiated from him, causing the entire chamber to tremble.
He had broken through to the Daoist Master Realm!
Witnessing Lu Haotian's breakthrough from the Heavenly Realm to the Daoist Master Realm, combined with Fang Chen's previous speculations and validations about the Daoist Master Realm, a series of inexplicable thoughts suddenly emerged in Fang Chen's mind. The aspects of martial arts that he had previously found difficult to comprehend suddenly became clear.
In short, Fang Chen gained immense insights at this moment!
Just then, the scene changed again.
Now a Daoist Master Realm cultivator, Lu Haotian became the most powerful martial artist in his country and several neighboring nations. He began to leave his Sect, departing from his homeland to travel far and wide.
Killing for treasures, exploring secret realms, gaining insights, creating secret techniques... Although these scenes appeared in a rapid succession, Lu Haotian's journey still opened Fang Chen's eyes and allowed him to acquire several powerful secret techniques and combat skills.
Three hundred years later, Lu Haotian became a powerhouse of the Nirvana Realm.
This time, Fang Chen did not witness Lu Haotian's breakthrough scene.
However, at this moment, Fang Chen was filled with astonishment and even some fear. He suddenly realized that now standing at the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm Continent as a Nirvana Realm cultivator, he was actually evading something.
What could be more powerful than a Nirvana Realm expert? Could it be other formidable beings of the Nirvana Realm?
Thoughts flashed through Fang Chen's mind. Yet before he could observe closely, the scene changed once more.
After Lu Haotian reached the Nirvana Realm, many memories were clearly missing, and many of the images were fleeting.
"This strand of True Soul memory is about to reach its end," Fang Chen suddenly sensed and murmured.
In this final memory of the True Soul, there was a valley where the imposing Lu Haotian was in seclusion. At this time, he had nearly reached the peak of the Nirvana Realm, with only one step remaining to reach the legendary realm of immortality.
Lu Haotian was injured, as if he had just fought someone. However, the light in his eyes was exceptionally bright, and his entire presence was incredibly imposing. This overwhelming aura seemed capable of shattering the heavens and splitting the earth, far surpassing the aura that Fang Chen revealed through a strand of True Soul.
"The path of fire burns within oneself, each step fraught with danger; to live is to attain longevity, to fail is to fall!" The brilliance in Fang Chen's eyes flickered. A powerful being in the Nirvana Realm needed to bathe in the path of fire for cultivation. At this level, every step taken was extremely perilous, with the possibility of falling. Yet now, Lu Haotian had taken great strides within the Nirvana Realm!
Longevity truly seemed within reach!
"Since he has reached this level, how did he fall? Did he fail at the last moment?" Fang Chen speculated in his heart.
However, he soon felt a jolt in his mind as darkness suddenly enveloped him; the memory world formed by a strand of True Soul began to collapse.
At that moment, Fang Chen's spirit trembled violently. Even as an observer, he could sense an incomparably terrifying aura suddenly descending upon him.
"Ah!" He couldn't see any images, but he could hear Lu Haotian's roar.
"Conspiracy! Conspiracy... Longevity... not longevity..."
The intermittent cries of despair echoed through Fang Chen's mind, leaving him utterly astonished!
