"But if you do that, once the Immortal cannot unite with the Dao, losing the support of the Great Tao authority and Immortal characteristics, their strength will plunge, essentially no different from a strong Heavenly Venerate, and then their consciousness and imprint can be completely annihilated."

"The second is a more thorough and even more difficult method— erasing and shattering the Great Tao that the other party has united with, along with them.

However, the difficulty of erasing a Great Tao occupied by an Immortal, which already has a master, is beyond imagination."

"No matter from which aspect you look at it, wanting to completely kill an Immortal is destined not to be an easy task and requires unimaginable costs."

Many thoughts about the mysteries of immortality, key strengths and weaknesses, and challenges of killing an Immortal flashed through Gu Qingfeng's mind as he stepped into the Nine Tribulations Heaven Venerate Realm, like streams converging into a river, finally settling into deep tranquility.

"The Netherworld Path has already broken through the Ninth Layer, and the foundation is established.

Subsequently, it should not be difficult to slowly accumulate with careful work and time, pushing the Ninth Layer Realm to the Perfection peak."

Gu Qingfeng's heart was calm and unruffled, without much excitement or emotion, as if all of this was naturally meant to be.

"When the Ninth Layer is cultivated to its peak, it will be time to consider uniting with the Dao and striving for immortality.

But this level of uniting with the Dao is not something I can easily touch and prepare for at the moment."

"Once I truly stabilize my cultivation at the Nine Tribulations peak, and my control over the Netherworld Path reaches the pinnacle of the current realm, then I will make comprehensive preparations for the breakthrough to immortality."

At this point, Gu Qingfeng's mindset had become transcendent.

Since he had already seen the path ahead and understood the direction, there was no need to be impatient.

The path of cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation, and steady progress is the right way.

The rest is left to time and waiting for the opportune moment of uniting with the Dao to naturally arrive.

Three hundred billion years is still a long time for him, enough to calmly plan and accumulate.

From the end of the discourse to the breakthrough, only tens of millions of years had passed, merely the beginning of a long journey.

"Moreover, thanks to the fact that the Netherworld Path is an Order Dao, possessing special qualities equivalent to the Heavenly Dao…"

Gu Qingfeng felt his own state of complete flawlessness, untouched by Tribulation Qi, with a faint, indistinct smile on his lips.

His breakthrough was quiet and unnoticeable; apart from himself, the outside world was unaware he had already set foot in the extreme domain of Heavenly Venerate.

This was undoubtedly a powerful trump card.

"I wonder if, when I use this path to pursue immortality and stride towards the Immortal Twelve Realms in the future, I will also not need to undergo the Immortal Divine Tribulation."

This bold thought could not help but pop up in Gu Qingfeng's mind.

If this were indeed the case, the situation would become extraordinarily intriguing.

Without undergoing the ordeal of the Heavenly Tribulation, he could silently step into immortality, even ascend to the utmost peak.

Should it come to that, it would surely catch the Evil God Clan off guard!

Moreover, in Gu Qingfeng's opinion, this possibility was actually not small.

The Immortal Divine Tribulation, after all, originates from the trial of the Cosmic Heavenly Dao Rules.

And since the Netherworld Path is an Order Dao, it is, in a sense, on an equal standing with the Heavenly Dao.

If one completely wields this Dao, then perhaps even the Heavenly Dao itself might not have the authority to impose a Divine Tribulation on him.

"As for that rumored Tribulation of Transcendence that no one has survived throughout the ages…"

Gu Qingfeng's gaze was profound, looking into the depths of the unknowable river of fate.

"What its essence truly is, and whether it is also influenced by these rules, is uncertain at this time."
