The Middle Immortal Realm is vast, even though the Celestial Pavilion has its own Transmission Array, gathering these 300,000 Immortal Fate Orders will still take several days.

Fortunately, the appearance of the Enlightenment Immortal Tree also requires some time.

Brother Cheng and his entourage settled down in the Celestial Pavilion.

As soon as the negotiations ended, he sent someone to summon Xiao Kun, Jiyun, and those four.

At the same time, he gathered several Immortal Kings around him.

"What exactly is the situation with that Enlightenment Immortal Tree?"

Miao Yu was willing to cooperate with him even at a 20% discount, clearly suggesting the benefits of the Enlightenment Immortal Tree are immense.

With such benefits, Brother Cheng's eyes sparkled.

The Three Great Corpse Kings and Mingchi, Wu Jue, and others quickly explained to him.

Establishing one's own Immortal Country is a hallmark of achieving Immortal King status.

The more perfected the Immortal Country, the stronger the Immortal King's power.

The vast majority of Immortal Kings' Immortal Countries can't even be called a world; they are merely chaotic, dangerous alternate spaces.

While powerful Immortal Kings have Immortal Countries that already contain the prototype of a world.

For instance, the starry skies of the Jiyun Immortal King were already evolving towards a real Immortal Country.

The reason for this disparity, apart from different degrees of rule mastery, is the low level of the Innate Dao Foundation of the Immortal Country.

Rules can be slowly understood and elevated.

But the level of the Innate Dao Foundation is fixed from the moment the Immortal Country is established.

To put it bluntly, some Immortal Countries are innately deficient from the moment of their birth, making it impossible to develop as well as others.

The Innate Dao Foundation determines each Immortal Country's future limit.

It is so important yet cannot be improved through cultivation, only changed by accidental opportunity.

No matter how intensely and long an Immortal King cultivates, the upper limit is set, and the ultimate achievement will not be particularly strong...

The Enlightenment Immortal Tree is the great opportunity that changes the Innate Dao Foundation.

This tree forms a world of its own, appearing once every fifty million years, existing for eighty-one years each time it appears.

After eighty-one years, it once again vanishes into the void. To encounter it again, one must wait another fifty million years.

During those eighty-one years, those who have reached the Immortal King Realm have the chance to enter the Immortal Tree and be nourished by the World Origin within the tree.

Thus, elevating the level of their Innate Dao Foundation and increasing their Immortal Country's upper limit.

Through these introductions, Brother Cheng learned that Innate Dao Foundations are divided into eight levels: Mustard Seed, Sumeru, Extraordinary, Dustless, Feather Transformation, Ascension, Profound Mystery, Divine Communication.

The lowest is the Mustard Seed level. The Immortal Countries constructed at this level of Dao Foundation, even at maximum development, can only slightly exceed the power wielded by a Daoist Heart.

However, being an Immortal Country, it can still easily defeat an Immortal Venerable.

The Immortal Kings at this level are actually quite rare; to become an Immortal King with such a poor innate start is itself a miracle.

At the Sumeru level, Immortal Countries already transcend the concept of space; as long as there is enough Immortal Power to develop it, it can expand almost infinitely.

But at this level, only the most primitive Power of Rules exists within the Immortal Country, without even a speck of dust, and lacking any concept of true substance.

The last time Brother Cheng defeated nine Immortal Kings, seven were at the Sumeru level.

Their Immortal Countries were empty.

Immortal Countries at the Extraordinary level can develop real entities, but the interior is extremely chaotic.

While the Dustless level can construct the true prototype of a world.

For example, the Jiyun Immortal King and Xiao Kun Demon King have Dustless level Innate Dao Foundations.

They have only been immortal kings for tens of millions of years, still considered newly appointed compared to other kings with billions or tens of billions of years.

But because their upper limit is set, Ye Yang Immortal King immediately knows he is no match.

Immortal Countries with Feather Transformation level Innate Dao Foundations, when fully developed, contain self-sustaining and endless cycles of various Powers of Rules, no longer like water without a source.

Such Immortal Countries can easily defeat two or three Immortal Kings at the Extraordinary Realm during battles.

To become an Immortal Emperor in the future, the minimum requirement is to have a Feather Transformation level Immortal Country.

As for the last three levels, they are typically obtained when breaking through to Immortal Emperor, rebuilding foundations.

It is said that the Profound Mystery level Dao Foundation, when fully developed, can transcend the concept of time and exist eternally.

Their introduction opened Brother Cheng's eyes wide.

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "So, what level are your Innate Dao Foundations?"

Immortal King Wu Jue stroked the three strands of black beard under his chin with a slightly proud smile: "Although during the last manifestation of the Enlightenment Immortal Tree, the old one had no fate to enter…"

"But my Innate Dao Foundation was Dustless level from the start!"

The others covertly criticized him in their hearts, this guy is really showing off.

Just to get Sect Leader Jiang's praise, he deliberately used a 'although… but' phrase. Only you can?

However, Immortal King Wu Jue was destined to be disappointed.

Brother Cheng currently has no concept of the difficulty involved with this thing.

His understanding is quite superficial; there are eight levels, and you are only at the fourth level?

He had no idea that the Dustless level is already considered an exceptionally rare talent among many Immortal Kings.

Especially since Wu Jue himself has never entered the Enlightenment Immortal Tree, making him even more extraordinary.

It's not an exaggeration to say that if he were in the Upper Immortal Realm, there would be many Immortal Emperors eager to recruit him.

"What about you few?"

The faces of the other few were somewhat unnatural.

"Cough…"

Immortal King Jingyu awkwardly coughed lightly: "Reporting to Sect Leader Jiang, I'm at the Extraordinary level, just a bit less than him, though I've never been into the Enlightenment Immortal Tree either, so who's strong and who's weak in the future isn't certain…"

Starting at Extraordinary is already quite rare, but this Wu Jue guy already threw out Dustless from the start.

And Sect Leader Jiang doesn't seem particularly impressed by Dustless.

Immortal King Jingyu, feeling ashamed, could only insist on 'future potential' to forcefully salvage respect for himself.

Another She Lan Demon King quickly and vaguely said with his head lowered: "I also have an Extraordinary level Innate Dao Foundation."

The Three Great Corpse Kings also gloomily said: "We are the same as him."

Wu Jue deliberately shot a sidelong glance at these four, expressing disdain: "You four entered the Enlightenment Immortal Tree once fifty million years ago, and still are merely Extraordinary?"

Having failed to receive praise, he now opted to demean the others, trying to elevate his own stature in Sect Leader Jiang's mind.

She Lan Demon King and the Three Great Corpse Kings raged!

"Wu Jue, what do you mean?"

"In front of Sect Leader Jiang, how dare you, a petty person, stir trouble?"

"We will rid him of treacherous elements on his behalf!"

Brother Cheng quickly separated both sides: "Alright, alright…"

"You're all quite good."

He perfunctorily responded, lacking sincerity, and didn't bother asking Mingchi and Liuyuan any further.

Seeing the embarrassed expressions of those two, it's clear they're likely still at the Sumeru level—people aren't easy to expose!

Once back in his room, Brother Cheng began pondering the major task of advancing to Immortal King.

The recent explanation from those eight made him a bit worried. Although the initial level of the Innate Foundation does relate somewhat to Talent, it's not the entirety.

Nobody can clearly explain the specific rules.

Some people are the most talented at the Immortal Venerable stage, yet their final Immortal Country might still fall short of others.

Could it be random?

If, after becoming an Immortal King, he's only at the Extraordinary to Dustless level, how could he face others?

He must advance to Immortal King as soon as possible, seize this repair opportunity; waiting another fifty million years isn't an option.

Thus, he opened the mall, exchanging all remaining Merit for Immortal Pills.
