Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

621. The Secret of the Supreme

Lin Fei returned to his dwelling and did not leave again. There was no point in visiting the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain anymore. If even the Supremes were preparing to leave the Divine Realm, then the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain was surely abandoned.

Moreover, the Initial Demon Supreme was undoubtedly keeping a vigilant eye on it. Should Lin Fei appear there, he would definitely try to kill him on sight.

Last time, Lin Fei had escaped by sheer luck because the Initial Demon Supreme was unprepared. But now?

Lin Fei was confident. If his Illusory Realm were stronger, he believed he could escape even if he encountered Initial Demon Supreme again.

However, Lin Fei's considerations had shifted beyond mere escape. The question now was, how could he confront a Supreme? How could he even save the entire Divine Realm? And what exactly was a Supreme? How does one become a Supreme?

Lin Fei had almost no understanding of this. In fact, many Martial Ancestors and True Immortals also lacked knowledge about the nature of the Supreme. It seemed a deeply secretive matter, and the Supremes themselves had not disseminated any information about their rank.

Lin Fei was confident that even without becoming a Supreme, as his Eternal Realm continued to evolve, he would possess power that could rival or even surpass a Supreme. But understanding the nature of Supreme would certainly help in knowing the enemy, especially since the Dark Demon Domain also had its Supremes.

While Lin Fei was deep in thought, his chamber suddenly vibrated with a subtle ripple of space. To his surprise, a figure appeared before him. It was Azure Emperor Supreme.

Lin Fei was astonished. Hadn't the Azure Emperor Supreme spoken of leaving the Divine Realm? Why was he here now?

Azure Emperor Supreme looked at Lin Fei and slowly began to speak, "Lin Fei, do you wish to know what it means to be a Supreme?"

Lin Fei looked intently at the Azure Emperor Supreme and bowed respectfully, "Please enlighten me, Azure Emperor Supreme!"

"You may have heard that the True Immortal, also known as the Dao Integration realm, represents a state of being," the Supreme began. "Dao Integration is indeed what defines a True Immortal.

However, the True Immortal state is not the end. Above the Dao Integration realm, there is another level in the path of Immortality called Mahayana. Mahayana is the state of transcending the cage, truly being free to roam. Not even a realm can bind a Mahayana. To break free from the constraints of a realm, a True Immortal has only one path: Power.

Do True Immortals continually cultivate their combat avatars merely to augment their arsenal of techniques? That is not the case. Once the avatars proliferate to a certain number and coalesce into a single entity, at that moment, their power surges, transcending the limits of their realm. Naturally, they are no longer confined; then, it is Mahayana!

We martial cultivators differ. A martial artist's strength is inherently their own, derived solely from within. We have grasped a Dao, but only superficially. To truly master it, and even to actively expand it, is to bring this Dao to an unsurpassable state. Or rather, when the Dao we wield can instantly dominate all others within a realm, we achieve Supreme.

Supreme does not require comprehension; it simply happens when conditions align. If it is achieved, so it is. If not, then Supreme remains elusive forever. Thus, the Supremes deliberately obscure the knowledge of how one becomes a Supreme. Should you know, you might intentionally cultivate an avatar or deliberately train in the Dao, which could ironically hinder your progress. It might even ruin your cultivation."

Upon hearing these words from Azure Emperor Supreme, Lin Fei had an epiphany. So, Supreme was a matter of natural progression, of achieving a pinnacle of understanding in one's Dao.

As for martial cultivation, one should refine their comprehended Dao to its utmost limit, even to the point where it could overwhelm the Divine Realm's Dao.

Lin Fei then thought of his own World Dao. Indeed, Lin Fei's World Dao was potent. Of course, it was still far from overwhelming the Divine Realm's Dao.

At least, not yet. But that did not mean he could never achieve it. Once Lin Fei's Eternal Realm transformed into a True Monarch-level world, his World Dao would undoubtedly make extraordinary advances.

How much might his power increase by then? Could that make him a Supreme?

"So that's it...I never imagined, but I have been on the path to Supreme from the start, and remarkably so, without any detours..."

Lin Fei realized. As long as he continued on his path, allowing the Eternal Realm to evolve, he was likely to achieve Supreme!

Of course, this was also challenging. The transformation of the Eternal Realm was uncertain in its timing.

"Azure Emperor Supreme, I am puzzled about one thing. You were prepared to leave the Divine Realm, why then disclose to me the secrets of Supreme? Aren't you afraid that I might intentionally cultivate the Dao and thus fail to become a Supreme?"

Hearing Lin Fei's question, Azure Emperor Supreme smiled faintly and said, "With your talent, Martial Ancestor Lin, if you cannot become a Supreme, perhaps no one in the Divine Realm can.

In fact, if I'm not mistaken, you have already found the path to Supreme. As for why I haven't left the Divine Realm, perhaps it's because of you, or perhaps because I still have some attachments.

Therefore, I've decided to stay in the Divine Realm. At least, in the absence of absolute danger, I will act to protect the Divine Realm, to protect the Ancient Covenant! As for what becomes of the Divine Realm in the future, I do not know. Perhaps, when the moment of life and death arrives, I too will resolutely leave."

Azure Emperor Supreme was candid. Naturally, he could leave the Divine Realm for the Chaos at any moment without any repercussions or difficulties. Yet, he chose to stay for a while longer, to exert his utmost efforts in guarding the Divine Realm. That was sufficient. For even if the final outcome was not favorable, how could that matter? At least, Supreme Qing Atlantic would have no regrets.

"Thank you, Azure Emperor Supreme!" Lin Fei bowed deeply, genuinely grateful to the Supreme. Many True Immortals and Martial Ancestors truly had no choice but to steadfastly remain in the Divine Realm.

But Azure Emperor Supreme was different. He had a choice, yet he still chose to stay. With a Supreme presiding, it wasn't about saving the entire Divine Realm, but at least the Ancient Covenant would be safer. Should a Supreme from the Dark Demon Domain approach, Azure Emperor Supreme could hold them at bay.

Lin Fei no longer contemplated aiding other areas of the Divine Realm. His focus was on safeguarding the Ancient Covenant. Or rather, Lin Fei was looking to buy time— as much time as possible.

Time was precisely what he lacked the most. And with Azure Emperor Supreme present, even if the Dark Demon Domain advanced toward the Ancient Covenant, the Supreme could buy Lin Fei more time.

Of course, that was all Azure Emperor Supreme could do. Reversing the dire situation was beyond him. Only Lin Fei might have a glimmer of hope, provided he had enough time.

Following this, Lin Fei began his seclusion because the first, second, third... an endless stream of world laws were delivered to him. Even a substantial amount of dark demon life essence was brought to him.

Clearly, those from the Ancient Covenant— the True Immortals and Martial Ancestors— were not just talking. They were truly taking action.
