Chapter 259: Immortal Realm

"Yes, it's already quite good if they can superficially mind their words and actions," Liu Qiyue nodded.

Meng Chuan added, "Time is merciless. After five or ten years, many descendants of Godfiend families might revert to their old ways. You and I, as a couple, can only frequently admonish Jiang State City. But we can't manage the entire world. Our master can't possibly write letters to every Marquis Godfiend and King Godfiend every year or two, can he?"

"We can only do our best," Liu Qiyue said. "In reality, the demon race is our greatest enemy."

"Indeed," Meng Chuan responded, a touch of seriousness in his voice.

The demon race...

"A'Chuan, you've said that the demon race is becoming increasingly cunning, and there are fewer demon monarchs we can kill," Liu Qiyue noted.

"Yes," Meng Chuan nodded. "They are very cautious."

"Since the invasion of the demon army, year after year, the demon race has become even more cautious. The number of their attacks has actually decreased," Liu Qiyue said. "The demon world originally had many demon monarchs, and a new batch of triple-heaven demon monarchs are born every year. Demon monarchs also continuously infiltrate our world. So, the number of demon monarchs in the human world shouldn't have decreased over these years. Yet, their attacks have."

Meng Chuan nodded. "Indeed, demon monarchs fear death. Even if the demon race's high command issues orders, the demon monarchs are unwilling to throw their lives away, which is why the attack frequency has decreased. From what I understand, the demon race primarily relies on tempting them with meritorious treasures to make them fight desperately time and again. After all, hidden within the human world, the demon race cannot force them."

"There are clearly many armies hidden in the shadows, yet they're slowly wearing down humanity like this?" Liu Qiyue pondered. "Such attrition doesn't really benefit the demon race. Although many mortals die, our human civilian foundation isn't affected given our population's reproduction rate. As for Godfiends? Only the most elite Great Solar Godfiends form these teams. While there have been sacrifices in battle after battle, even more Marquis Godfiends have emerged. In these eleven years, including us, Mount Yuanchu has seen the birth of ten new Marquis Godfiends."

Xue Feng, Yang Huayu, Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, Xiao Yunyue...

Ten new ones have been born.

Sending the strongest Great Solar Godfiends into life-and-death struggles, time and again, is brutal, but it undeniably offers a greater chance for breakthroughs.

"Our civilian foundation isn't affected, and Godfiends are making breakthroughs," Liu Qiyue said. "Will the demon race just keep dragging this on?"

"What do you mean?" Meng Chuan looked at his wife.

"A'Chuan, you've said that in the Way of Yin and Yang, Yin emphasizes accumulation and introversion, while Yang emphasizes eruption," Liu Qiyue explained. "I believe the demon race will have its day of eruption. After lurking and plotting for so long, if there's a true major outbreak... A'Chuan, you must be careful."

Meng Chuan nodded.

He could feel the truth in his wife's words. Despite human intelligence indicating a steady infiltration of demon monarchs each year, the number of attacks was decreasing. Meng Chuan felt similarly uneasy, but what could he do?

"Clang! Clang!"

The sound of clashing weapons came from outside.

Through the window, Meng Chuan and his wife could vaguely see Meng You and Meng An sparring in a distant clearing.

"You'er and An'er have also asked me to look through the scrolls," Liu Qiyue remarked, sighing. "Knowing more about Wang Cong's crimes and the widespread darkness within Jiang State City has made them much more diligent in their cultivation."

"They're old enough to know," Meng Chuan said.

"I truly wish we could end this war, so You'er and An'er, and subsequent generations, wouldn't have to keep fighting," Liu Qiyue expressed.

Meng Chuan nodded.

He wished for the same.

However, at present, there was no hope of winning the war in sight; only the demon race's power growing stronger within the human world.

Inside the quiet room.

Meng Chuan, clad in loose white robes, sat cross-legged, lightning flickering all over his body.

After reaching the fourth level of the Essence Soul, Meng Chuan's perception of the 'super-microscopic world' became much stronger. Every part of his inner world was magnified countless times. A single drop of blood was vaster than an ocean, and even the most fundamental and minute particles that made up his body appeared like mountains ten thousand feet high. If he were to penetrate a particle's interior, he would discover a 'particle space.'

This 'particle space' now felt even more boundless in his perception.

Even the core point, which occupied only a trillionth of the particle space, seemed as large as a stone table.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

A teardrop-shaped crystal, bearing Meng Chuan's image, vigorously tried to penetrate the particle space from the outside.

The particle space, under pressure, more actively absorbed the power of the Grotto-Heaven Origin under the guidance of Meng Chuan's body cultivation secret art.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss."

As it absorbed, this particle space became increasingly stable.

Finally, this teardrop-shaped crystal fully entered the particle space, descended, and landed on the core sphere, which was the size of a stone table.

"Boom!"

The particle space vibrated.

The teardrop-shaped crystal settled in the center, and within it, Meng Chuan vaguely stood, curiously observing this world.

"This is the particle space?" From Meng Chuan's perspective, he had indeed become the teardrop-shaped crystal. He looked at the core sphere beneath his feet, then gazed up at the vast particle space, as if observing a starry sky.

"With my divine sense residing in the center, I can completely control this particle space," Meng Chuan murmured. "This particle space is also much stronger."

Divine sense is also known as an 'Essence Soul thought.'

An Essence Soul is composed of billions of thoughts and is usually whole. One must reach the fourth level of Essence Soul, the 'Split Soul Realm,' for the Essence Soul to coalesce and disperse at will, allowing for active fragmentation. It's easy to split a part and send it thousands of miles away, let alone disperse it within the body! An Essence Soul thought is the smallest unit an Essence Soul can disperse into. The process of cultivating the 'Undying Realm' is to have an Essence Soul thought reside in every particle space.

This achieves a complete unity of spirit and flesh.

Every particle will undergo a qualitative change, and under the command of a single consciousness, the entire physical body will transform qualitatively.

Stronger divine abilities?

Even possessing multiple divine abilities?

These are all external manifestations of a powerful physical body: immense strength, an indestructible physique where even breaking the skin is difficult. Even if the skin is broken, or the body is cut into eighteen pieces, it can instantly reassemble. A head pierced dozens of times can instantly recover without harm.

At this stage, one can truly be called 'undying'! Killing such a person becomes exceedingly difficult.

In the later stages, this cultivation system fully suppresses the Godfiend cultivation system.

However, this system is incredibly difficult to cultivate... It requires the fourth level of Essence Soul and the Dao Realm as a foundation, along with vast amounts of energy, to forge such a formidable physical body.

During cultivation, the Essence Soul thoughts exert immense pressure on the 'particle space.' The particle space must undergo cultivation to be able to bear the Essence Soul thoughts. And since the entire body is made of billions of particles, the cultivation process naturally takes a long time. According to the original plan, taking ten Scarlet Blood God Pills daily should allow one to achieve the Undying Realm within a year.

However, Meng Chuan was pleasantly surprised to discover that the 'Grotto-Heaven Origin power' from the Grotto-Heaven Pearl was miraculous. It could be directly absorbed by the physical body and by the particles. Its cultivation efficiency was even several times that of Darkstar True Essence.

Although the physical body couldn't cultivate for too long each day, the overall progress was still much faster.

Days passed one after another.

Jiang State City returned to tranquility, and the major Godfiend families became much more compliant. Meng Chuan also frequently went out on rescue missions and participated in two rotation shifts.

Yet, his daily cultivation never ceased!

Just half a year later, on the ninth day of the third month of the second year, Meng Chuan finally completed his cultivation, achieving the 'Undying Realm.'
