"Master, there are things you should understand now. Let me explain the realms of immortals to you," the Tower Spirit's soul body floated beside Ye Chen and smiled at him.
Currently, Ye Chen's cultivation has already stepped into the Celestial Spirit Realm.
If he can comprehend the true intent, he might even hope to become an immortal within a year.
Therefore, it is now the right time for him to understand what the world of immortals is truly like.
"Alright! Go ahead." Ye Chen's eyes were filled with intense curiosity.
"An immortal, as we call it, is a cultivator who has generated mana within their body. But to generate mana, one must first comprehend the true intent of martial arts and open the Divine Mansion within themselves. This step has blocked countless powerful beings in the mortal world," the Tower Spirit began to explain to Ye Chen.
The Divine Mansion Realm is the first realm of an immortal, divided into ten layers in total.
To open the Divine Mansion, one must first boost their cultivation to the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm and comprehend at least one martial art's true intent.
By doing so, one can transform their Sea of Qi into the Divine Mansion with the help of martial art's true intent.
Once the Divine Mansion is formed, it can then generate mana.
Mana is an incredibly magical power, far more profound than the celestial spirits of the Celestial Spirit Realm, and its power is on a completely different level.
Thus, even a newly entered immortal of the Divine Mansion Realm can easily crush a peak Celestial Spirit Realm expert, just like crushing an ant.
This is also one of the reasons why those high and mighty existences in the mortal world fear the envoy so much.
If they dare to provoke the envoy, it would be akin to an ant provoking an elephant, essentially seeking their own doom.
"Immortals of the Divine Mansion Realm also differ from mortals in that their lifespan can reach three hundred years, exactly three times that of a Celestial Spirit Realm expert. This is why those peak Celestial Spirit Realm experts desperately want to become immortals; who wouldn't want to live a few hundred more years?" the Tower Spirit said with a cheerful smile.
Even if a Celestial Spirit Realm expert has immense strength, their lifespan is not much different from ordinary people, usually only living to around a hundred years.
So what if they are invincible in the mortal world?
A hundred years later, they are destined to become nothing but dust.
Only by opening the Divine Mansion and becoming an immortal can one break the mortal lifespan limit, living up to three hundred years.
This is also why, despite Ye Chen's exceptional body refining talent, he still isn't recognized by the Celestial Flame Peak Master and Duanmu Ying.
Because Ye Chen cannot awaken the bloodline within him, he has little chance of becoming an immortal in this lifetime.
No matter if he can sweep away any strong opponent in the mortal world, in the end, he can only live a hundred years, lacking any real potential to speak of.
"Indeed, lifespan is incredibly important to mortals, especially those in high positions who control everything in the mortal world. They desire to live longer," Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Just like emperors in the mortal world who rule over the lives of countless subjects, enjoying riches and honor.
But once they die, everything will vanish like smoke.
Thus, they naturally wish to live a few more years and are willing to trade vast wealth for it.
Unfortunately, mortals are just mortals.
No matter how high their status, how noble their position, their lifespan is predetermined.
Being an emperor doesn't grant you a longer lifespan than others.
Only by becoming an immortal can one defy the heavens and fate, breaking the mortal lifespan limit.
This is precisely why some peak Celestial Spirit Realm experts are willing to go to any lengths, even betraying their closest kin, to become immortals.
"The Divine Mansion Realm is just the beginning for immortals. In the eyes of mortal cultivators, they are supreme beings. However, in the world of immortals, they are quite ordinary. Only by stepping into the Profound Pill Realm and becoming a genuine Profound Pill can one have a certain status in the immortal world," the Tower Spirit continued.
"What? Are you saying that immortals of the Divine Mansion Realm have no real status in the immortal world?" Ye Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes full of disbelief.
You must know that immortals of the Divine Mansion Realm are what countless cultivators in the mortal world dream of becoming.
Yet, few can achieve this step.
Even the Celestial Flame Peak Master and Duanmu Ying have little hope of becoming immortals of the Divine Mansion Realm in their lifetimes.
It demonstrates how difficult it is.
However, in the world of immortals, immortals of the Divine Mansion Realm seem to have no status.
This completely overturns common understanding.
"One can't say there's no status at all. In fact, even in the Immortal Realm, there are plenty of mortals, and these are the ones at the bottom! However, a cultivator at the Divine Mansion Realm in the Immortal Realm can only be considered passable in strength. Making other immortals revere them is basically impossible! Only becoming a Venerable Profound Pill would make countless immortals dread you," the Tower Spirit explained.
"I see, I understand now. No wonder I could interact with many mortals when I was in the Ye Clan," Ye Chen suddenly realized.
Before he was six, he had been living in the Divine Spirit Family of the Ye Clan.
However, during that time, he lived a carefree life and never bothered to learn about the information regarding immortals.
In his impression, most of his servants were mortals.
Instead, it was those immortal powerhouses that he rarely encountered.
Perhaps, it was because his parents didn't want him to be exposed to the world of immortals too early, and wanted to give him a carefree childhood, so they deliberately arranged it this way.
"Becoming a Venerable Profound Pill is an incredibly difficult task. Out of a thousand Divine Mansion Realm immortals, having one person break through to the Profound Pill Realm is already pretty good," the Tower Spirit explained.
He told Ye Chen that in order to become a Venerable Profound Pill, one must condense a Profound Pill in their Divine Mansion.
The Profound Pill can not only cause an immortal's mana to multiply several times, but it also possesses unparalleled destructive power.
However, wanting to condense a Profound Pill is truly difficult, as it requires at least cultivating the True Intent to the Fourth Layer and developing a True Intent Domain.
Otherwise, it's impossible to break through in this lifetime.
"I never thought that True Intent could be divided into so many layers. I always thought True Intent had only one layer," Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
He originally believed that cultivating a martial art to the True Intent Realm would already be the limit.
But the Tower Spirit told him that True Intent is divided into a total of nine layers.
However, generally, only legendary Celestial Level Martial Arts can cultivate True Intent to the Ninth Realm.
As for Profound Level Martial Arts, being able to cultivate True Intent to the Third Realm is already quite good.
Especially the lower grade Profound Level martial art, "Blazing Sun Heaven-Smashing Fist," that Ye Chen obtained in the War King Hall, which can only be cultivated to the First Layer of True Intent.
Even so, it is enough to help Ye Chen become an immortal.
"Master, True Intent is incredibly important for any cultivator. Whether it is breaking through to the Divine Mansion Realm, Profound Pill Realm, or even the Golden Core Realm, you must first cultivate True Intent to a certain realm; otherwise, you'll make no progress! Thus, you must find a way to gather a large amount of Wood Spirit Qi and convert it into the Power of Enlightenment, so you can swiftly enhance your True Intent Realm," the Tower Spirit said solemnly.
"Golden Core Realm? Is that the realm following the Profound Pill Realm?" Ye Chen asked with a curious expression.
"That's correct, immortals at the Golden Core Realm are also known as Venerable Golden Cores. Even in the Immortal Realm, they are among the most elite. However, becoming a Venerable Golden Core is as difficult as climbing to the heavens. You must first cultivate True Intent to the Seventh Layer, which is incredibly distant for you right now," the Tower Spirit nodded and said.
"I wonder if my father has already stepped into the Golden Core Realm," Ye Chen muttered to himself.
In his impression, his father, Ye Qi, was exceptionally powerful, already possessing the ability to move mountains and fill seas.
Even within the Divine Spirit Family Ye Clan, he was considered an extremely powerful presence.
So, he might really be a Venerable Golden Core.
If that's indeed the case, then avenging his parents seems as hard as climbing to the heavens for Ye Chen.
Right now, he couldn't even contend with an immortal at the Divine Mansion Realm, let alone a Venerable Golden Core.
He was truly too weak, too weak.
"At this rate, when will I be able to avenge our parents?" Ye Chen's fists involuntarily clenched tightly, making a harsh cracking sound.
At this moment, he truly felt very incompetent.
His mother was once taken by a strong member of the Ye Clan who took her bloodline right in front of him, ultimately causing her to perish.
This scene he could never forget for the rest of his life.
So, the greatest hope of his life was to attack the Ye Clan and kill all those beasts who caused his mother's death, avenging his mother.
But now he realized how difficult it was to avenge his mother.
Even if his Phoenix Race bloodline wasn't taken by Ye Lin'Er, he didn't have the confidence to challenge such a colossal power like the Ye Clan.
"Master, you have been blessed in disguise, having received the inheritance of the Supreme Human Emperor. You will definitely avenge your parents someday. In fact, becoming a Venerable Golden Core is not as difficult as you imagine. You only need to elevate your Martial Arts Realm. The higher your martial arts realm, the faster your cultivation speed, even without a bloodline," the Tower Spirit seemed to have seen through Ye Chen's thoughts and couldn't help but comfort him.
"Thank you, Tower Spirit. I must quickly find a large amount of Wood Spirit Qi to enhance my Martial Arts Realm to the True Intent Realm. I wonder if this Immortal Secret Realm contains Wood Spirit Qi," in Ye Chen's eyes, a brilliance flashed, and he was no longer confused.
