“But true immortals differ from one another, just as Supreme beings differ, and Saints differ. The gap between the strong and the weak can be vast!”

“The true immortal that the ancient Human Emperors vanquished is said to have been an ordinary true immortal who had just achieved the True Immortal Realm.”

“If it were a veteran true immortal, or rather, a true immortal who was only a step away from becoming an Immortal Venerable, then I wouldn’t know if I could fight them!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, then added, “That’s enough! True immortals are not common cabbages! Especially after a million years, I refuse to believe those true immortals haven’t been affected in some way, maintaining their peak condition!”

When Dugu Bo heard Jiang Yuan speak thus, he also nodded in considerable agreement.

The next moment.

He spoke again, “I recall you mentioning previously that you had made some deductions about the next realm of the Flesh Body Path. I am completely at a loss now and would like to hear your thoughts.”

“If it were up to me, it would involve simulating the pioneering of a Cave Heaven again, fusing the Five Elements and evolving chaos, then pioneering an inner-world within the body!”

“By doing so, the inner-world that is pioneered would undoubtedly be far superior to the Cave Heaven World!”

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly, “Although the Dean succeeded in pioneering the Secret Realm of the Spiritual Platform, it turned out somewhat different from what I had anticipated! Thus, I dare not speak recklessly.”

“I will wait until I personally set foot in the Saint Realm and successfully pioneer the Secret Realm of the Spiritual Platform, to truly comprehend the mysterious aspects of this secret realm, to share my views with the Dean.”

At this moment, Jiang Yuan did have some ideas in mind regarding the next realm of the Flesh Body Path.

However, he did not wish to express them openly at this time. First, as he said, he needed to personally experience it to confirm his thoughts.

After all, when charting a pathway for cultivation, one must not reside within an airy attic; every step is of utmost importance and should not be taken lightly.

Another factor is that being completely unreserved is not a wise move, even though he trusts Dugu Bo profoundly.

Yet some reservations are essential!

At the very least, in doing so, he and Dugu Bo remain in the same boat.

Regardless of anything else, Dugu Bo will, at least to increase the likelihood of success in the next step, strive to protect himself.

This reservation of Jiang Yuan could thus be seen as adding a weight to his side, increasing his significance.

This doesn’t mean he doesn’t trust Dugu Bo!

But even with trust, one shouldn’t lay everything out without reserve.

Similarly, while possessing this magical panel, he trusts Shu Xiaoxiao and Ye Chanxi greatly, but he will not mention the panel he possesses to anyone.”

….

When Dugu Bo heard these words from Jiang Yuan, he immediately nodded repeatedly, “That’s good! The pioneering of a cultivation pathway is not simple! You should also act prudently!”

“However, with the pioneering of the Secret Realm of the Spiritual Platform, my flesh body has become much more lively, my qi and blood are vigorous, and I can sense my life Origin intensifying dramatically!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s expression instantly became focused, showing surprise.

“Does the Dean mean that your lifespan has increased?”

“Correct!” Dugu Bo nodded and continued to speak, “The increase is significant! If nothing unexpected happens, the increase in my lifespan is not less than when I realized the Supreme Dao Fruits.”

“Such change also indicates that the pioneering of the Secret Realm of the Spiritual Platform is a correct pathway and can even rival the path of the Supreme Realm.”

“It is not weaker than the pinnacle of the Human Path domain, and it might even be a stronger path.”

“For a Saint to step into the Supreme, it could be said that they only gain about seven thousand years of lifespan!”

“At the ninth heavens of the Saint Realm, one gains three thousand years of life, stepping into the pinnacle of the Human Path and realizing the Supreme Dao Fruits, yields ten thousand years.”

“And with the pioneering of the Secret Realm of the Spiritual Platform, the change in the physical body allows approximately twenty thousand years of lifespan, doubling the ten thousand years!”

“An increase in ten thousand years of life is sufficient proof of the success of this realm!”

“You should know that increasing lifespan is not so simple, just like extending the lifespan of mortals; extending it to five hundred years is considered easy, requiring only minimal resources.”

“But to further extend it to a thousand years, the difficulty is more than ten times higher compared to the former!”

“And it only gets more difficult further on!”

“If pioneering the Secret Realm of the Spiritual Platform can indeed extend the lifespan from ten thousand to twenty thousand years, that’s a terrifying enhancement.”

“This point also shows doubtlessly the extreme importance of the physical body!”

“If in the future you truly manage to pioneer the next realm of the Flesh Body Path, on par with the True Immortal Realm in the Immortal Path Domain, then you would have truly created a precedent in ancient times, and could be called a Daoist Ancestor.”

Hearing Dugu Bo’s words, Jiang Yuan smiled and then responded.

“The Dean’s achievements today have already blazed new trails in ancient history, enough to leave a brilliant mark of your own.”

Dugu Bo chuckled.

“A great deal of that credit belongs to you.”

Jiang Yuan shook his head, “While I do have some credit, at most it can be said I assisted the Dean in stepping into the pinnacle of the Human Path, the ultimate leap of the primordial spirit, the sublimation of the position level.”

“With the Dean’s accumulation, given enough time, you would eventually figure out how to pioneer the Secret Realm of the Spiritual Platform.”

“The Five Great Secret Realms of the Body are all the Dean’s credit.”

Dugu Bo earnestly shook his head, “Your credit is by no means low! Without you, I would have had no hope of stepping into the pinnacle of the Human Path in this lifetime, let alone succeeding in pioneering the Secret Realm of the Spiritual Platform.”

“Sometimes, the final step can be the most despairing one.”

“Moreover, being within the situation oneself can lead to confusion, but the direction you illuminated allowed me to walk on the correct path!”

“As for the perfection of the Five Great Secret Realms of the Body, it was merely picking up the legacy of the predecessors and perfecting it while standing on their shoulders.”

“Although it’s commendable, it’s not worth excessive praise!”
