"I dont know, please instruct me, Father." Ji Ning said respectfully.

  I actually knew it after reading a lot of books, but as a four-year-old child, theres no need to be so freaky.

  "Ill tell you, so you can understand," Ji Yichuan said coldly. "First, lets talk about the seven major realms on this cultivation path."

  "The first layer, acquired later in life, longevity of one hundred years."

  "The second layer, innate, lifespan two hundred years."

  "The third layer, Zifu, is called Zifu Cultivator, with a lifespan of five hundred years."

  "The fourth layer, Wanxiang, can be called Wanxiang Zhenren, with a lifespan of 800 years."

  "The fifth layer, yuan shen, can be called yuan shen dao person."

  "The sixth layer, Return to Void, can also be called the Earthly Immortal, also known as Earth Immortal. In the final stage of Return to Void, one must undergo the Heavenly Tribulation. If they fail, their body and soul will perish. If they are lucky enough for their Primordial Spirit to escape and survive, they will become a Loose Immortal. The strength of Loose Immortals and Earthly Immortals is mostly equivalent."

  "The Seventh Layer, Heaven Immortal, this is what it means to truly transcend the Three Realms and be beyond the Five Elements!"

  Ji Yichuan looked at Ji Ning after he finished speaking, wanting to see a shocked expression on his sons face. However, Ji Ning merely perked up his ears and listened attentively from the side.

  "You said you want to cultivate immortality, Ill let you know the difficulties of cultivating immortality." Ji Yichuan said in a low voice, "The first hurdle of cultivating immortality - from acquired to innate!"

  "What is Innate? Born from the heaven and earth, this is called Innate Spiritual Being. Like some gods and demons in the distant Divine Era were born from the heaven and earth, they had great divine powers since birth. There are also those who reincarnated into the heavenly realm to become Heavenly Beings or Asuras, these Heavenly Beings and Asuras were also born from the heaven and earth, and were Innate Spiritual Beings since birth, their cultivation was very rapid as well, only Innate Spiritual Beings can cultivate to become Immortals!"

  "Mortals cannot cultivate immortality, but Heaven always leaves a thread of life, so ancestors with great virtues created cultivation techniques to make mortals bodies like pre-heavenly spirits, making it possible for them to cultivate immortality."

  "But for ordinary people to become supernatural beings, they must go against the natural order of things. Those who can succeed are extremely rare! You tell me, isnt it difficult?"

  Ji Ning listened.

  Born with innate spirit? If not for the great upheaval in the underworld, Im afraid I would have been reincarnated into the heavenly realm as a celestial being. That would make me an innate spirit. But now I am just an ordinary person... Indeed, its extremely difficult for an ordinary person to become an innate spirit.

  "The Second Hurdle of Cultivation — From Innate to Violet Palace!"

  "It is necessary to open the Purple Mansion in order to cultivate immortality, this opening of the Purple Mansion is like building a house laying the foundation, just like planting crops needs opening up land, this Purple Mansion is the land, it is the source of cultivating immortality, it is the foundation of the Great Way! Only by truly opening up the Purple Mansion in ones body can one set foot on the path of cultivating immortality, only then does one have the qualifications to be called a Purple Mansion cultivator! Even among those with pre-heavenly strength who want to open the Purple Mansion, it is rare for even one person out of a thousand to succeed. You say, isnt that difficult?"

  Ji Ning nodded.

  Yes, its very difficult.

  At the same time, carefully listening to the books in the Western Library of the Ji familys mansion about the description of the cultivation realm, it was only difficult for the first two levels, and there was nothing after that.

  "When one opens up the Purple Mansion and becomes a cultivator of immortality, they will naturally possess boundless power."

  "It is possible to cultivate into an immortal, but this goes against the heavenly way. Therefore, from the day one sets foot on the path of immortality and opens up the Purple Mansion, every 300 years there will be a trial, and every 900 years there will be a great calamity. As the saying goes: When three comes, disaster strikes; when nine comes, calamity arrives! Disaster can be avoided, but calamity is hard to escape! Every 300 years, a trial comes; every 900 years, a great one comes. And as long as one walks on the path of immortality, this will continue forever... unless one becomes a heavenly immortal, otherwise three disasters and nine calamities are the eternal calamities of every cultivator."

  Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations

  When three comes, its a disaster; when nine comes, its a calamity. A disaster can be avoided, but a calamity is hard to escape?

  Ji Ning was indeed shocked, this cultivator unless he became an immortal, otherwise the calamity would come every three hundred years.

  ……

  "Boom!" The thick arm of the candlestick that was as thick as a childs arm burned with a loud noise, echoing in the hall.

  Ji Yichuan and Wei Xue were both looking at their son, and at this moment, Ji Nings face was filled with shock. Seeing his sons shocked expression, Ji Yichuan finally nodded slightly, calming the young man down.

  "How old is your son? Whats the point of saying so much?" Wei Chi Xue said discontentedly.

  "Mother." Ji Ning lifted his head and smiled wryly, "Its nothing."

  Ji Yichuan looked over in surprise.

  "Father." Ji Ning smiled, "From mortal to Pre-Heaven, from Pre-Heaven to Violet Palace... just these two major checkpoints are already unimaginably difficult. As for the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, theyre simply too far away for me to worry about; I dont even need to think about them."

  "Uh-huh." Ji Yichuan nodded, "Your temperament is fine, what you said is right. You dont need to think about becoming a Zifu Prefecture scholar now, thats too far-fetched. In the vast land of Yanshan, including our own family and countless tribes, even the strongest are just Zifu Prefecture scholars. The difficulty of cultivating immortality... Even in our Great Xia Dynasty, with its boundless expanse and hundred million years of history, not a single Tianxian has emerged."

  Ji Ning nodded slightly.

  In the underworld, Cui Fugun said to himself that the "Nuwa Map" only gave him a little more opportunity to become an immortal, but there were still many difficulties. It was still his own heavenly person, and becoming a heavenly soldier or general was just a prerequisite... As you can imagine, its extremely difficult to become an immortal. Wanting to jump out of the three realms and not be bound by the five elements is not something that anyone can do.

  "Do you still want to cultivate immortality now?" Ji Yichuan looked at Ji Ning.

  "Right." Ji Ning nodded.

  Ji Yichuan nodded slightly. If he were to be intimidated by mere danger, then he would be disappointed. However, he didnt know... how Ji Ning could be scared off by these things. What endeavor doesnt have risks? Even walking down the road might get you killed by a falling rock from the sky, and eating might choke you to death. This cultivation path is an unimaginable journey; its strange if there isnt any danger.

  "But... " Ji Yichuan furrowed his brow, "Youre too young, and the cultivation technique is extremely complex. If I were to teach you a profound immortal cultivation technique, once you practice it incorrectly, it would instead harm your body. And ordinary immortal family techniques arent worth it..."

  "Father," Ji Ning said, "I want the Divine Demons Body Refining Technique!"

  "Oh? You know about body refinement?" Ji Yichuan was shocked, and Wei Chi Xue beside him also laughed: "Our son seems to have read a lot of books, and he also knows that cultivation is divided into two types."

  The path of immortality is mainly divided into two kinds.

  One is to refine the air! On the road of cultivating immortals, 99% are walking on this path. You can use many magical artifacts, refine complex puppets, control a large number of poisonous insects and beasts, refine large arrays, and have various evil cultivation methods... In short, this is a grand way that is unparalleled in its complexity and mystery.

  Another is Lian Ti (Refining the Body).

  According to legend, at the beginning of the birth of the three realms, many gods and demons were born. These gods and demons were all born from heaven and earth, with strong bodies from birth! The Pangu who opened up the sky and earth was the strongest primordial god, also with a strong body... Therefore, some predecessors created methods for refining the body through contemplation and reflection on the physical strength of gods and demons. This allowed practitioners to possess bodies like those of gods and demons: indestructible, infinitely powerful, able to defy heaven and imitate earth, with three heads and six arms, able to regenerate from a drop of blood, immortal and imperishable... These are all characteristics of the Body Refining School of gods and demons.

  This school of Body Refining is known as being on the same level, with Body Refining completely crushing Qi Refining!

  "Cultivating the body is a hundred times more difficult than cultivating energy." Ji Yichuan said solemnly, "The method of divine demon body refinement allows one to possess divine demon power, how can it not be against the heavens? Its extremely difficult..."

  "Father, Ill cultivate my body first and then cultivate my energy later." Ji Ning said, "Anyway, these two cultivations can be done simultaneously. When the time comes, I will mainly take the path where I have a talent... And arent you worried that Im too young, worried that cultivating energy will damage my meridians? The divine demons body refining method is not so dangerous."

  Ji Yichuan and Wei Chixue exchanged a glance.

  It seems that their son has thought it through thoroughly. Indeed, the main purpose of the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique is to temper the entire bodys muscles, bones, skin, and internal organs. As for meridians? It has nothing to do with the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique. You should know that those innate divine demons come in all shapes and sizes, and their meridians are completely different from humans. The senior great virtuous one who comprehended the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique naturally didnt need to consider meridians.

  "Good!" Ji Yichuan nodded, "The method of refining the body with divine magic is extremely precious. The nineteen methods of refining the body with divine magic in the five mansions of my family are all available for you to choose from. Which one do you want to cultivate?"

  "Yes." Ji Ning was excited and thrilled.

  "Hei Xiong." Ji Yichuan shouted out loud.

  Soon after, a black-haired young man appeared outside the temple. His eyes were faintly red and his eye corners were long and narrow, which was exactly the transformation of that black giant snake.

  "Hei Bo." Ji Ning shouted, after living in this world for two years, he also knew that this black-haired young man was a great demon who had cultivated into a Pre-Heavenly Spirit, ordinary wild beasts could only be called demons after opening their spiritual wisdom and starting to cultivate the primordial energy of heaven and earth. They didnt have any cultivation techniques, it was even harder for them to cultivate than humans, breaking through to become a Pre-Heavenly Spirit, they would possess the ability to transform!

  The black-haired young man smiled and nodded: "Yi Chuan, what brings you here?"

  "Trouble you to make a trip, go to the library." Ji Yichuan said, "Take all nineteen brief versions of the Nineteenth Demon Refining Body Technique, Ji Ning wants to use them."

  "Whats the use of that?" The black-haired man smiled and looked at Ji Ning, "The Divine Spirit Fleshy Body Cultivation Method has been cultivated, but its just like a divine spirit, it seems that Ji Ning is very ambitious."

  Wow!

  Black-haired people suddenly disappeared.

  Ji Ning took a deep breath and waited, Hei Bo was right, he did have ambitions. Firstly, because of his young age, he feared that his father would not easily teach him the cultivation method of refining Qi. As for self-study? Ji Ning wasnt so confident. Secondly, it was also because he knew some of the powerful aspects of the Divine Demon Cultivation Method, to kill a Divine Demon Cultivator was thousands of times more difficult than killing a Qi Refiner! A Divine Demon Cultivator of the same stage completely crushed a Qi Refiner!

  Strong survival ability, strong strength. Just these two points make Ji Ning more fond of the Divine Demon Cultivation Method.

  "Hmm." A gentle breeze suddenly appeared, and a black-haired young man emerged in the hall. He had a smile on his face. "A simplified version of the 19 divine demon body refining techniques."

  "Ji Ning." Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "The simplified version only has the first part of the Xianjia Fa jue content, plus a description of this set of Xianjia Fa jue. Take a close look and choose which one you want."

  The black-haired youth then took out nineteen simple books and placed them all in front of Ji Ning.

  Each of these volumes is very thin, after all, only the content at the very beginning is included, even if its stolen, it wont have any impact on the Ji family. They wouldnt put some precious Xianjia secret methods directly in the library and such places. However, even if its just a simplified version, these divine demon cultivation method volumes arent something that anyone can get their hands on, which is why Ji Yichuan had the black-haired youth go this one time.

  "Nineteen volumes."

  Ji Ning lowered his head and began to watch seriously.
