The malice of this world is everywhere.
If the malice between heaven and earth could be overcome by integrating into it, becoming one of them.
Then the high-level personnel of this world, like supervisors such as the Giant Buddha.
Even if an outsider chose to integrate, it would depend on whether the supervisor liked the outsider integrating into the local system.
Clearly, the Giant Buddha did not.
Therefore, even if recognized by the will of heaven and earth, it did not mean recognition by these native powerhouses.
Powerhouses like the Giant Buddha had long surpassed the stage of being interfered with by the world's will. They could even slightly interfere with the world's will, much like the world's administrators.
The will of the world, after all, was just a mechanical entity, unable to judge too much. It mistakenly believed Fang Ming was one of them simply because he was willing to integrate into this world's cultivation system.
But beings with independent personalities like the Giant Buddha were not mechanical and could still target Fang Ming, the outsider.
Thus, for other outsiders without world-traveling talent, this world was truly filled with immeasurable malice.
Fang Ming sighed. m..oΓg
The Giant Buddha sneered, "Outsider, I have already told you the cause of your death."
"You can die with no regrets!"
The Giant Buddha believed that he could choose when to kill a weak outer realm demon like Fang Ming at will.
Therefore, his attitude was extremely condescending, like a god judging Fang Ming.
This threat from the Giant Buddha would be fatal to any normal outsider.
But Fang Ming let out a slight sigh and used his world-traveling talent to leave this World Number Six once again.
The Giant Buddha's roar echoed in his ears, accompanied by a vast emission of energy, power capable of reducing a small, insignificant realm to dust, the power of a Level 152 divine profession, a power that had reached its terrifying limit. But Fang Ming had already completely left this world.
Not only had he left this world, but he had also left the world outside this world, the world known as the outer realm demons, the world where players resided.
He leaped into another light spot.
In the vastness of the void, Fang Ming awoke. He found himself in yet another body.
Having already gained experience from Lin Xuan's world, Fang Ming was not surprised in the least to find himself in a new body in this World Number Seven.
After all, true spirit transmigration was like this, a relatively normal occurrence.
Fang Ming quickly accessed the memories of this body.
From the memories, he learned that World Number Seven was a world with a very distinct style, not a mixed-genre style, but a world of immortal cultivation.
It was completely different from the mixed style of the previous world.
This world had completely discarded all elements other than immortal cultivation, such as magic or technology. It was a world of immortal cultivation.
It was even leaning towards a classical immortal cultivation world.
For cultivators to ascend from mortals to immortals, it was not through paths like Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or Nascent Soul, which were purely Qi-based cultivation paths.
Instead, it was through overcoming the "Three Disasters and Nine Calamities" to achieve immortality.
This was more akin to the worldview of the classical Journey to the West.
The so-called Three Disasters were the three tribulations that cultivators must face to become immortals.
The first was the Lightning Tribulation.
Cultivators absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth and refined their mana. While it seemed like their own effort, in reality, all cultivation resources, including the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, belonged to heaven and earth.
If a cultivator's mana remained at a certain level, it would be fine. An insufficient quantity would not cause any change from heaven and earth.
However, once a cultivator's mana exceeded a certain limit, heaven and earth would naturally condense thunderclouds and descend a lightning tribulation to blast the cultivator into ashes.
If this step was overcome, the cultivator could continue to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their mana would rise to a new realm, becoming extremely pure, far surpassing ordinary mana, and could be called immortal energy.
If they could not overcome it, they would naturally be struck by the lightning tribulation and turn into dust, killed alive.
The second was the Yin Fire Tribulation.
While the lightning tribulation targeted a cultivator's mana, the Yin Fire Tribulation targeted the cultivator's physical body.
A mortal's body would burn when exposed to fire and be injured by blades. Cultivators, through various secret techniques, continuously tempered their physical bodies, enabling them to uproot a large mountain with their strength and pull down stars from the sky.
Immune to water and fire, difficult to injure by blades, capable of manifesting their bodies to immense sizes, and moving stars – this was the manifestation of a cultivator's physical body reaching its limit.
With such a powerful physical body, tribulations would naturally descend.
The stronger the physical body, the more vigorous the latent Yin Fire within. Finally, when the physical body reached its limit of strength, the Yin Fire Tribulation would descend, rising from the depths of the cultivator's body.
If it could not be overcome, the cultivator's physical body would completely turn to ashes, burned to death by the Yin Fire.
If it could be overcome, the cultivator's physical body, even when subjected to the Yin Fire, would remain unmoved and unharmed.
The cultivator's physical body would then transform into something akin to an immortal body, achieving the Immortal Physique.
The third tribulation was the Wind Tribulation, part of the Three Disasters and Nine Calamities.
The Wind Tribulation primarily targeted a cultivator's primordial spirit.
When a cultivator's primordial spirit reached a certain level of power, a wind would arise.
This wind was not the wind from the east, west, north, or south, but a "Guanfeng" (crow wind).
This wind could penetrate the six visceral organs, pass through the dantian, and enter the nine orifices, causing the cultivator's bones and flesh to loosen, and their body to disintegrate.
If it could not be overcome, then everything would turn to dust.
If it could be overcome, then the cultivator's primordial spirit could transform into an immortal primordial spirit, ascending to the ultimate realm of immortals and gods from the primordial spirit.
These three tribulations, the Three Disasters and Nine Calamities.
Wind, Fire, and Lightning.
These were not ordinary wind, lightning, or fire tribulations.
In Fang Ming's view, they could be seen as a mana bottleneck, a physical body bottleneck, and a primordial spirit bottleneck.
The lightning tribulation tested whether the cultivator's mana had passed the test.
The fire tribulation tested whether the cultivator's physical body had passed the test.
The wind tribulation tested whether the cultivator's primordial spirit had passed the test.
Once passed, one could cultivate corresponding immortal mana, an immortal physical body, and an immortal primordial spirit.
If one passed one stage, it meant that in terms of mana, primordial spirit, or physical body, they had reached the immortal realm in one aspect and could be called a half-immortal or pseudo-immortal.
If one passed all three stages, and all three aspects met the standards of an immortal, then they were naturally a true immortal.
Therefore, in this relatively primitive classical immortal cultivation world, the distinction of realms was very simple and straightforward.
Ordinary cultivators, half-immortals, and true immortals.
These were merely three tiers of cultivation.
Among them, anyone who had broken through the bottleneck of mana, physical body, or primordial spirit, and overcome any one of the wind, fire, or lightning tribulations, could be called a half-immortal.
Within the realm of half-immortals, the gap was also enormous.
The strength of a half-immortal who had overcome one stage was vastly different from that of a half-immortal who had overcome two stages.
