The ancestors of the Human Race discovered the most suitable path for their cultivation, which is to walk the Primordial Spirit Dao, also known as the Immortal Path. At a certain realm or with a certain background, this becomes somewhat clear.

In terms of the physical body, the Human Race has a limit. For thousands of years, many have cultivated to the Great Accomplishment of Divine Skills, and there are quite a few at the peak, but only the Grand Ancestor of Chu has broken the shackle to become a saint in the flesh.

Within this, lies a huge secret, known only to the highest figures of the Xiang Family through generations: the dual cultivation of body and Primordial Spirit.

Because of this, not many in the world know about the division of the Six Realms of the physical body. Even the once-great Chen Yuan only understood it after guidance from Moluo.

The Xiang Family, over hundreds of years, intentionally or unintentionally hid this message, attempting to render it an impossible path for the Human Race. This was not the Grand Ancestor of Chu's wish, but it aligned with the interests of the Xiang Family.

For in this world, one Grand Ancestor of Chu, unrivaled under the heavens, is enough; a second is unnecessary.

Dual cultivation of body and Primordial Spirit is not a big secret. Some strong practitioners attempt it to gain formidable strength and enhance their own means.

But concerning realms above the Six Realms, it is different.

Xiang Qianqiu repeatedly suppressed his own cultivation, remaining unable to break through long ago, all because of this secret.

In dual cultivation of body and Primordial Spirit, one must first break through the Six Realms of the body, forming an Inner Heaven and Earth, and then quickly break through the Six Realms of the Primordial Spirit to connect with the Outer Heaven and Earth.

Inner and outer united, heaven and self connected, its power is enough for one newly entered into the Six Realms to directly rival an Earth Immortal capable of establishing a Grotto Heaven!!!

This equates to directly crossing a major realm with unparalleled combat power, no shortcomings whatsoever, based on this, the Grand Ancestor of Chu could be invincible.

This was the path the Grand Ancestor of Chu explored, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and was documented in the Xiang Family's legacy. Others, whether the exalted Immortal Domain or Immortal Sects with thousands of years of legacy, as long as they did not walk this path, they could never truly know.

After many failed attempts to break through the Six Realms of the body, people continued on the path of the Primordial Spirit, merely assuming it was an impassable route for the Human Race, without considering the unity of both.

Even considering it, breaking through the Six Realms of the body is almost impossible for Human Warriors, not to mention the extremely demanding conditions for unity of inner and outer worlds.

Even Moluo, in the past, only cultivated his body to the Great Accomplishment of Divine Skills and afterwards took the orthodox path of Primordial Spirit of the Human Race.

The fall of Great Chu, with the Sima Family merely becoming pawns of the Immortal Domain by coincidence, even without the Sima Family, there would be other families, sects, and forces.

His true enemy was the Immortal Domain above the Nine Heavens.

Hence, upon discovering this mystery of the Xiang Family's legacy, he resolved to pursue the path of the Grand Ancestor, acquire powerful combat capabilities, and once again make the Xiang Family invincible in the world.

Walking the path of Primordial Spirit, he was just an ordinary person at the entry of the Six Realms, a Human Immortal. Seeking to cultivate to Earth Immortal in a short time was utterly impossible.

It would take at least hundreds of years, even with the God Slaying Spear for enhancement, still insignificant against Earth Immortals, not to mention wanting to revive the glory of Great Chu.

Thus, a shortcut was necessary.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to kill his wife and son, stepped onto a path inhumane, forcibly extracting the bloodline of the Xiang Family and imbuing it onto that child.

In the future, he would send more bloodline from the Xiang Family to him. Thus, Xiang Lingtian and his son fell.

In his plan, stepping onto the path of the Martial God and condensing the Dynasty's fortune upon himself, even Earth Immortals could do nothing against him, giving him time to cultivate.

Even against Heavenly Immortals above Earth Immortals, he was not without a fighting chance.

What the Grand Ancestor of Chu accomplished before, he believed he too could accomplish, perhaps even better, thus cleansing his decades of crimes.

He could find excuses for himself: everything was for Great Chu, for the legacy of the Xiang Family.

But... fate is unpredictable.

The son he always viewed as a pawn made a miraculous comeback, subtly establishing a force comparable to Immortal Sects, with an Earth Immortal backing him.

Even Spirit Mountain, the head of Immortal Sects, could not do anything against him. The force he painstakingly created collapsed overnight, mostly falling into his son's hands. Now, his son is sparing no effort to track him and the Xiang Family down, determined to eradicate them.

The wheel of fortune turns; never disdain a youth struggling with poverty.

His relationship with Chen Yuan was reversed.

Under the persuasion of Lu Guangsheng, his long-held faith wavered. He realized he was far from the Grand Ancestor, unable to walk the same path.

Thus, he could only resort to the next best thing, breaking the Six Realms through Primordial Spirit.

The process of breaking through the Six Realms is significant, and the Secret Realm hides the rules, avoiding detection and preventing Chen Yuan from discovering it, so he went to this previously prepared place.

He didn't know how much time had passed outside, only that he had been in seclusion for no less than half a month, all his states reached their peak.

Ready, he began to break through this chasm.

He didn't believe Chen Yuan could break through in such a short time and comprehend the rules he took decades to explore. As long as Chen Yuan hadn't grasped the rules, he would be an ant before him.

With Moluo obstructed, Chen Yuan would allow himself to be slaughtered.

It was indeed a pity that, at the Goddess Palace, Chen Yuan refused to reconcile. Otherwise, he might have even nurtured him to continue down this path.

But now, the other party wanted him dead, and he has lived long without Great Chu's revival, cannot die. Thus... he could only send this unfilial son on his way.

With time, he would gradually cultivate and find his own path in the long years.

Xiang Qianqiu sat cross-legged in the void, surrounded by condensed rules that slowly circled around him, also emanating a harmonious Dao Rhythm with the world.

The God Slaying Spear exuded Evil Qi, seeming to possess Spirituality, protecting Xiang Qianqiu's Dao.

His spirit gradually subsided, and the Primordial Spirit within his Spirit Platform emerged at will, letting its Rule Power merge with the Primordial Spirit, causing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy to vibrantly resonate.

In the world, visions appeared one after another. True Dragons and Phoenixes soared, White Deer and Spirit Cranes spiraled, as if Spiritual Liquid dripped from the void, the earth beneath saw everything revive, vitality flourishing.

This is the phenomenon of becoming Immortal, varying with each person.

He claimed he could easily step into the Six Realms, essentially different from Ye Xiangnan, so he could readily suppress and defeat him.

What hindered him was the shackle of the physical body, not the Primordial Spirit.

Unbeknownst how much time elapsed, Xiang Qianqiu's vision grew increasingly grand, with more and more Rule Power gathering, the original nine-inch Primordial Spirit dramatically transformed.

Its Primordial Spirit body continuously extended, with rules as bones, Primordial Energy supplementary, transformatively turning a few inches of Primordial Spirit into a towering several feet, akin to Xiang Qianqiu's very existence.

There was no essential difference between the two. If one had to distinguish, it was merely that from now on, Xiang Qianqiu could even abandon the body, existing in Heaven and Earth with the Primordial Spirit.

For some, the body is foul, the Primordial Spirit is pure and unblemished, and it's through relying on the Primordial Spirit that an Immortal can possess near-millennium lifespan.

Xiang Qianqiu's physical body opened its eyes, the Primordial Spirit opened its eyes as well, they exchanged gazes and smiled at each other, seemingly possessing their own wisdom.

The rich Rule Power swirling around the Primordial Spirit manifested into a Rule Flower.

One flower gathering at the top signifies the Immortal Realm.

When Xiang Qianqiu achieved the gathering of Three Flowers, it marked the pinnacle cultivation of a Human Immortal.

After a long time calming, Xiang Qianqiu looked towards the Central Plains in the North, murmuring to himself:

"Unfilial son, are you ready? Your father is coming... to clean house!"

He was unaware that while breaking through the Six Realms to kill Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan also, in pursuit of killing him, stepped into the Half-Immortal Realm at the fastest speed!

————

Initially intended to be placed later, but as nobody understood why the Six Realms of the body were so strong and the rationale behind Xiang Qianqiu's actions, it's teased early.

Do not rush, the true father-son showdown to death is about to commence.
