It is precisely by stepping onto the Immortal Path, crossing the Ascension Bridge, and peeping into the Peeping Immortal Sect, that one can obtain the Heaven Refining Divine Scripture Immortal Dao Chapter.

Within it is a detailed exposition of the myriad profound mysteries regarding cultivation on the Immortal Path.

The Immortal Path is divided into True Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, Saint Immortal, Nine-turn Daluo Immortal, Sovereign Immortal, and Progenitor Immortal!

If one wishes to cross from the Spiritual Path into the Immortal Path, the key lies in the Immortal Foundation!

Ascension Bridge, Peeping Immortal Sect!

Through this, one steps into the Immortal Path and forges the Immortal Foundation.

Only by forging the Immortal Foundation can one become a True Immortal!

The Immortal Foundation is akin to the source of all one’s strength at the Spiritual Path level.

But within the Immortal Path, it is even more unfathomable and supreme.

Upon entering the Immortal Sect, the source condenses into a single point of Immortal Light.

Continuously absorbing Immortal Qi and Immortal Elixir, one transforms and elevates their entire life.

Moreover, Immortal Foundations are ranked from First Grade up to Twelfth Grade.

When the Immortal Foundation takes shape, it resembles an Immortal Lotus!

The quality of the Immortal Lotus—First Grade is three petals!

At the Immortal Path level, the grade of the Immortal Foundation determines future potential and combat power.

Thus, before achieving True Immortality, the deeper one’s foundation, the higher the grade that can be forged.

Although there are grades from First to Twelfth, most are Third, Sixth, Ninth, and Twelfth Grade!

To attain Sixth Grade or above marks one as a prodigy of Heaven!

Ninth Grade is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!

Twelfth Grade is the supreme king!

After forging the Immortal Foundation, one condenses Immortal Meridians according to its grade.

Immortal Meridians are the fundamental basis of cultivation after stepping into the Immortal Path and undergoing life’s transformation.

For example, a True Immortal cultivator must open nine Immortal Meridians, nine being the lowest number.

Celestial Immortal, thirty-nine Immortal Meridians.

Golden Immortal, sixty-nine Immortal Meridians.

Saint Immortal, ninety-nine Immortal Meridians.

Daluo Immortal: nine tribulations, each time a tribulation is crossed, the current number of Immortal Meridians doubles.

...

First Grade corresponds to nine Immortal Meridians.

This is the general rule.

For instance, a First Grade Immortal Foundation cultivator can normally reach Celestial Immortal, but breaking through to Golden Immortal is exceedingly difficult.

For a Fourth Grade Immortal Foundation, breaking through to Celestial Immortal is possible, but Golden Immortal remains just as arduous.

But for a Sixth Grade Immortal Foundation, breakthrough to Golden Immortal becomes much easier.

Of course, if the Immortal Foundation is too low, but one encounters a great fateful opportunity and alters their destiny, upgrading the Immortal Foundation, their future potential will also rise.

In summary, the Immortal Foundation is the root of all Immortal cultivation!

Immortal Foundation, like the Immortal Lotus!

Twelfth Grade, each grade has three petals!

Several grades of Immortal Foundation usually only allow the opening of their corresponding multiples of nine Immortal Meridians.

But with the Heaven Refining Divine Scripture Immortal Dao Chapter, refining the essence of heaven and earth, transforming it into the Purest Essence Qi, one can forge a Twelfth Grade Immortal Foundation and open twelve grades of Immortal Meridians!

Supreme King, Immortal Dao Sovereign!

Simultaneously, because Purest Essence Qi is flawless, after forging the Immortal Foundation, the physique is pure and unsullied, becoming the supreme flawless pure body, immune to all evil!

"Twelfth Grade Immortal Foundation!"

Xu Yang was deeply shaken.

Having understood the cultivation of the Immortal Path, how could he not know what the Twelfth Grade Immortal Foundation represents?

Ordinary people, Third Grade Immortal Foundation; he, Twelfth Grade.

His cultivation is far beyond the simple multiples of nine, thirty-nine, and ninety-nine.

In the True Immortal Realm, a First Grade Immortal Foundation nurtures nine Immortal Meridians; a Third Grade Immortal Foundation nurtures twenty-seven Immortal Meridians—the combat power is almost triple that of First Grade.

As for breakthrough to Celestial Immortal and Golden Immortal, one continues to nurture and open Immortal Meridians in accordance with their Immortal Foundation grade.

And the Twelfth Grade? In the True Immortal Realm, one already has one hundred and eight Immortal Meridians!

That is twelve times that of the First Grade!

How terrifying is this?

Moreover, as cultivation advances and the number of Immortal Meridians multiplies, the gap will only grow ever wider.

The disparity in Immortal Path level and battle power is countless times more frightening than that of the Spiritual Path.

And those opportunities that can elevate one’s Immortal Foundation are all but unheard of, held only by grand Immortal sects.

"The Immortal Dao Chapter is simply defying the heavens."

"Just what sort of existence is the creator of the Heaven Refining Divine Scripture within the Immortal Path?"

Immortal Dao King?

Sovereign?

Xu Yang could not imagine.

Originally, he thought the creator of this inheritance was some ordinary immortal, or a somewhat powerful cultivator of the Immortal Path.

But now it was clear—what a grave mistake!

Twelfth Grade Immortal Foundation—the highest tier foundation in the Immortal Path!

Even the top Immortal sects and sacred grounds of the Immortal Path likely do not possess such inheritance.

The background must be unimaginably terrifying!

And the Heaven Locking intent!

At the Spiritual Path level, it mostly just disrupts the opponent’s power.

But in the Immortal Path, it directly locks one’s Immortal Meridians and Immortal Foundation!

Stripping all their power away.

Defying the heavens!

"I have entered the Immortal Sect; from now on, I only need to follow the Immortal Dao Chapter, obtain Immortal Qi and Immortal Path resources, refine my foundation, until I forge the Twelfth Grade Immortal Foundation!"

Only now did Xu Yang finally understand why the Purest Essence Qi refined from the forbidden taboo gave him such a strange sensation to begin with.

In truth, all of it is intimately connected to the Heaven Refining Divine Scripture Immortal Dao Chapter—there is immense mystery!

Just relying on the Purest Essence Qi as a basis can forge the supreme flawless pure body—it goes without saying!

"Eh?"

Xu Yang’s heart gave a jolt; he finally sensed the change in his body, hurriedly suppressing all the information and focused his mind to probe within.

At a glance, he found that his physical body, True Essence, Minghuo, and all else were transforming.

Immortal light shrouded him, his entire form radiant!

Minghuo was gone, only a wisp of Primordial Spirit remaining.

And in his Dantian, a single speck of dark Immortal Light hovered.

He could vaguely see the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod concealed within.

He had completely set foot on the path of Immortal transformation.

All powers of the Spiritual Path were now devoid of effect.

To cast Immortal Technique was now a matter of ease!

Xu Yang took a deep breath, calmed his spirit, and urged his whole being to rapidly transform.

Time quietly slipped by.

The aura of lifelessness that had hung over Xu Yang was gradually dispelled.

But the revived breath made Bloodming and Shi Hu feel at a loss.

Now he had no connection whatsoever with the Spiritual Path.

Even as they sensed him, Xu Yang still seemed devoid of any trace of life.

But his complexion was growing rosy, and a vague tide of immense threat was emanating from him—clearly, he was recovering and growing stronger.

"Immortal Dao!"

Bloodming whispered tremblingly, "This kid must have grasped the profound mysteries and entered the true Immortal Path!"

Earlier, they had continued to absorb Immortal Qi, slowly refining themselves—a process of arduous, gradual uplift.

It would take ten steps to reach the state Xu Yang was presently in and behold the Immortal Path.

Yet Xu Yang at this moment had outright leapt past those ten steps.

Gulp!

Shi Hu swallowed, eyes ablaze with fervor as he stared at Xu Yang.

Now that Xu Yang had walked the path, he and Bloodming too had hope.

After a long while.

Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes; mind clear, spirit refreshed, feeling unprecedentedly well.

"Xu Yang, what on earth just happened?"

"Did you truly step into the Immortal Path at last?"

Shi Hu could not wait any longer and asked eagerly.

Xu Yang pondered, then nodded.

Shi Hu and Bloodming were wildly ecstatic and hurried over, gazing at him expectantly, their deep yearning burning in their eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Yang smiled and said, "Don’t be impatient, let me sort out the process."

"Also, during this time, did you notice anything change about me?"

Shi Hu and Bloodming quickly recounted everything they had observed.

Xu Yang mused thoughtfully.

Annihilation!

Breaking free of the Spiritual Path!

Entering the Immortal Sect, reviving anew, gestating with the Immortal Path!

With this, everything became clear to him!

He spoke in a deep voice, "This path is entirely correct. Also, I have obtained an inheritance, awakened after peering into the Immortal Sect—it is an Immortal Dao legacy, with much useful knowledge."

He did not conceal these facts.

He simply omitted mention of the Twelfth Grade Immortal Foundation from the Heaven Refining Divine Scripture.

After conveying the details about Twelfth Grade Immortal Foundation and Immortal Meridians cultivation to Bloodming and Shi Hu, the two were utterly stupefied, as though in a dream!
