Soul Immortal

Learning Immortal Dao [I]

"Seeing Zhang Hao's eager look, Liu Sheng cleared his throat and said, "Our Xuantian Sect established its foundation here in the wilderness, but the founder at that time was not so glorious. On the contrary, the founder of Xuantian Sect was actually a spellcaster, and he was not a person of the same path as practicing Taoism at all."

"Talisman master?" Zhang Hao asked curiously. Although Zhang Hao didn't understand what talismans were, he had heard of them because he had talismans drawn by Taoist priests at home.

"Yes, but the founder could not gain a foothold in other states at that time, so he had to fight his way through all the difficulties and came to this barren land, and founded the Xuantian Sect. Later, he accidentally obtained a set of skills on Yuetian Peak and practiced hard. Although the founder was extremely hardworking, it was a pity that his aptitude was average after all, and he entered the cultivation of immortals too late and did not achieve great success. However, it is said that the skill that the founder accidentally obtained was a superior skill. Although he only practiced for a few decades, he actually had some fame in the cultivation world at that time."

"Didn't Master practice Taoism in the past? What happened later?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes, later on, the sect accepted several more disciples, but they didn't make any great achievements either. It wasn't until hundreds of years later that a very talented master named Chen Jian appeared. Only then did the Xuantian Sect truly gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation. However, it was also thanks to the fact that the Xuantian Sect was located in the barren land of Haozhou that it was able to escape disaster."

"Is Master Chen Jian very powerful?" Zhang Hao heard that a powerful person would not appear until a hundred years later, so he immediately asked.

Liu Sheng looked at Zhang Hao's round eyes and said with a smile: "It is said that the founder Chen Jian entered the sect at the age of six, and was proficient in the low-level techniques of the sect at the age of ten. After that, his realm continued to rise several times. Eighty years after entering the sect, he had already cultivated his own primordial spirit. After that, he secluded himself for decades. After coming out of seclusion, he single-handedly annihilated several small and medium-sized sects that were enemies of Xuantian Sect at the time. From then on, Xuantian Sect became one of the medium-sized sects in the world of immortal cultivation, and it has been standing tall for decades."

"Is my natal soul very powerful?" Zhang Hao suddenly became interested when he heard about his natal soul.

Liu Sheng looked at Zhang Hao's puzzled eyes and said with a smile: "The innate spirit is a realm of immortal cultivators. Those who can cultivate to the innate spirit are the elders of the sect, just like Elder Han, Elder Dong, Elder Chai and Elder Bi of Xuantian Sect now. Anyone who can reach this realm is an extraordinary person."

"You said that Elder Chen only cultivated his natal spirit at the age of eighty? Then isn't he dead yet?" As far as Zhang Hao knew, people in the village were generally very old if they could live to be fifty or sixty years old, and according to what Liu Sheng said, it seemed that living to be eighty years old was very normal.

"For immortal cultivators, eighty years old is considered young. Generally, immortal cultivators live much longer than ordinary people," Liu Sheng explained.

"Do immortal cultivators never die? Like gods?" Zhang Hao was immediately excited when he heard that immortal cultivators lived much longer than mortals.

Liu Sheng looked at Zhang Hao and said, "The life span of a cultivator is related to the realm they have reached. If I want to tell you about the life span of a cultivator, I must first tell you about the realm of our cultivators."

"Realm? Aren't all cultivators the same? There are also realms?" Zhang Hao naturally didn't understand these new terms at all.

"Of course, according to the realm, we cultivators can be divided into four realms: Qi training, spirit training, Yuanshen and Yuanying. Generally speaking, a cultivator in the Qi training stage can live about 120 years, a cultivator in the spirit training stage can live about 250 years, a cultivator in the Yuanshen stage can live about 600 years, and if they enter the Yuanying stage, they can live for a thousand years."

"So long?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. This completely broke what he usually knew. However, after hearing this, Zhang Hao also knew that the higher the cultivation level of the immortal cultivator, the longer he could live. Thinking of this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but get excited, and his belief in cultivating immortals became stronger.

"That's right, you should listen to me finish talking about Xuantian Sect before you interrupt." Liu Sheng continued, "After that, the elders of the sect recruited outstanding disciples from all sides, making the sect gradually stronger. Of course, despite this, it was not all smooth sailing. It is said that hundreds of years after that ancestor, a thousand-year-old monster invasion almost wiped out the once prosperous Xuantian Sect. Fortunately, an elder of the sect had foresight and led a group of outstanding disciples to leave Xuantian Sect in advance and hide on an unknown island overseas, so that they escaped the disaster."

"So what happens next?" Zhang Hao couldn't help but interrupt again.
