Qin Yuan was astonished.
This old man was an Immortal, an existence that only appeared once in the many Epochs of many Realms.
And he was dead, what he was worried about was his female disclipe partner.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xin.
The woman blushed slightly, her neck slightly blushing.
"Master," she said in a low voice as if to reprimand him.
"Okay, okay, it's your choice, I won't force..."
He then looked at Qin Yuan.
"By the way, you can still ask one more thing, there's still time."
Qin Yuan indeed still had one question.
"Your Excellency, Heavenly Scripture Fragments, what exactly are they, where did they come from?" he asked.
The methods written in them might have been devised by the Four Sages, but the Fragments were definitely an object.
Perhaps they were also made by the Four Sages, but they must have been created from certain materials.
The old man's expression suddenly became serious after hearing Qin Yuan's question.
He was silent for a while before replying, "Unfortunately I don't know either, only the Four Sages know..."
"I see..." Qin Yuan sighed.
He didn't ask any more.
Immediately after that the old man's body shattered into countless shards of light.
All the aura in the pavilion disappeared as if in the wind.
Nothing had changed, all the previous talk seemed like an illusion.
Jiang Xin's eyes became dim, she sighed.
Maybe she had been sad too many times and something like this couldn't bring her to tears anymore, only made her feel melancholy.
"You're okay, right, Miss Jiang?" Qin Yuan asked in a soft voice.
Jiang Xin finally looked at him. Her composure quickly returned. There was no longer the aura of a young girl when she was in front of her master.
"It was the master's last spirit, but in the end, it was only the spirit that had his memories, not really him," she said.
She stepped out of the pavilion.
At this moment, there were clouds gathering outside.
These clouds are completely different from other clouds.
They emit a lot of light and give the illusion that those looking at them want.
Qin Yuan, who had the power of stars, discovered countless majestic stars within those clouds.
"My master is called the Thousand-Law Immortal, his strength is average among Immortals, but he can manifest many kinds of laws." Jiang Xin explained.
Qin Yuan thought it was an incomparable ability.
The Seven Paths of the Seven-Path Great Emperor were almost nothing.
Qin Yuan then stepped into one of those clouds while Jiang Xin was still standing in front of the pavilion.
Upon entering the cloud, Qin Yuan immediately felt various kinds of enlightenment, allowing him to quickly understand everything that he had not previously understood.
"How it is? Here, you can still cultivate even while chatting," Jiang Xin said.
After saying that, she also went to one of the clouds.
"It seems that this place is still of use to you," said Qin Yuan.
"Indeed, unfortunately I can't enter without the key either, something I can't get without luck."
"That means your master is very careful," Qin Yuan replied.
He could understand the old man's intentions.
Imagine if one of his disciples betrayed him, this place might no longer be usable by the people of the Red Cave Realm.
"Would you like to ask a question?" she asked.
Qin Yuan did not expect that she would offer it.
He couldn't help but look her in the eyes.
Unfortunately there was no ripple at all in her eyes.
Qin Yuan was unable to conclude whether his charm had any effect on her.
"I'm quite curious about cultivation, especially the knowledge that comes from an Immortal," said Qin Yuan.
The thing that intrigued him the most was the Heaven, but he thought it was necessary to postpone the question so that his mind would not be disturbed as he began to understand about cultivation.
"If we talk about cultivation, it's quite simple," Jiang Xin replied.
She waved her hand, a spiritual light flew from that hand towards Qin Yuan, entering his head directly.
There was so much information she gave that Qin Yuan had to close his eyes for a moment.
The first is about Divinity.
After the Advanced Stage where a Divine Emperor creates Divine Palaces and clones, there is the Final Stage.
It has no particular method because everyone has to rely on themselves.
The concept is simple; you just need to unite all your Divinity.
The more Divinities you unite, the stronger you become.
According to that information, you would have to unite the 5 Divinities to possess the power of a Giant Epoch if you didn't have the techniques strong enough to make up for your lack of cultivation.
Jiang Xin was an example of a person who received the title of Giant Epoch while the Patriarch of the Primordial Spirit Clan was on his way to this stage.
Enlightenment is the main factor.
That will determine whether you can progress quickly or stagnate at a certain point.
Why is there no more Realm after Grand Emperor because you really don't need to seek outside power anymore, you just need to adjust the strength in your body.
When all your Divinities finally fuse, they will become something called Immortality.
Of course, there were quite a few that united the nine Divinities, but to unite the tenth was as difficult as ascending to Heaven.
Then the Saint Path.
The Thousand-Law Immortal was one that used this Path.
When you've reached the peak Saint Ancestor where your hundred Saint Fruits are fully integrated, the next thing is to fuse those fruits.
Every ten Saint Fruits would become one fruit, which was usually referred to as the Great Saint Fruit.
It is similar to the Divinity Advanced Stage except that the process takes more time.
Practically speaking, a Great Saint Fruit was equivalent to a Divinity.
But unlike Divinity, Saint Ancestors at this stage would only obtain Palaces called Saint Palaces but not Clones.
According to many people's guesses, Saint Fruits weren't strong enough to create Clones.
If forced to create a Clone, the Great Saint Fruit resulting from the fusion of ten Saint Fruits could not match the Divinity which could not later evolve into Immortality.
And whether it was Palaces or Clones, both were extremely important at higher levels.
It was said that creating the second Immortality required the help of the Palaces and creating the third Immortality required the help of the Clones.
Again, Divinity was still superior. The reason was naturally due to the Heaven itself.
As for the method, creating the Great Saint Fruits still has a method, but the next one, the 'Final Stage,' you also have to rely on yourself.
The concept is the same as Divinity, you have to unify all of your Great Saint Fruits.
'It makes sense that after integrating all the Saint Fruits, the next thing is to unify them. It's an easy-to-understand theory, all the Saint Ancestors have thought about but no one has been able to figure out the answer to.
'And the next one is the hardest part no matter what path you choose.
'But well, I don't have to think about that because all my Saint Fruits and Divinities will fuse by themselves when I'm strong enough.'
'It is now quite reasonable that an Immortality created using the Heavenly Scripture Path would be equivalent to two Immortalities.
'However, even that is not enough to make it grow into a Realm.'
Qin Yuan wondered why.
Of course, he could ask the System for help later.
But the System in the end only helped in process, at some point like when he was practicing the Immortal Diamond Body, the System required him to have the ingredients first.
Qin Yuan continued to comprehend the information he received.
This time it was about the Divine Beasts.
They can be said to be easy but can also be said to be difficult.
Everything depended on luck as all they needed to do was purify their bloodline.
Being born with a pure bloodline plus obtaining a lot of resources that can refine a bloodline is the luckiest example.
Of course, they could still become stronger by understanding various laws and techniques if they wanted to.
They simply cannot rob Divinity or create Saint Fruits.
Why it happened, no one knows for sure, maybe it was the rules of the universe.
It was quite reasonable because if they also had Divinity or Saint Fruits, they would become too powerful.
And it's the same for humans.
They could use the blood or certain parts of a Divine Beast to increase their strength, but could not truly become one unless they were a mix between a human and a Divine Beast like Yang Ming or the Dragon from the Hell.
Of course, if Yang Ming really did evolve into a Dragon, he would no longer be able to use any other paths.
'Perhaps the solution to the final problem is that I must become a Divine Beast as well,' Qin Yuan thought.
If he could figure this out, the others should too.
But the problem is not knowing the theory, but whether or not you can apply it.
Qin Yuan couldn't help but ask System.
"System, can you help me become a Divine Beast without losing my entire cultivation?"
...
