Jiang Fan comprehended the Ten Thousand Lives Shield of Ruin, a supreme defensive immortal technique that uses the destiny of all beings as a shield. He discovered that to strengthen this defense, he needed to expand his influence and foster connections with beings across different worlds. Upon checking his status, Jiang Fan noted his lifespan had reached one billion years.

[Realm: Early Stage True Immortal Realm]

Undoubtedly, the biggest change in him is his lifespan.

Originally, his lifespan was a hundred million years, but after advancing to the True Immortal Realm, his lifespan skyrocketed tenfold, reaching the level of one billion years, which is an extremely exaggerated number.

After all, this is true longevity.

An ordinary True Immortal’s lifespan is only ten million years at most, but he has reached one billion, almost a hundred times that of a regular True Immortal, quite beyond imagination.

"Even in the Immortal Realm, these Thirty-Three Celestial Immortal Talismans can be used effectively."

"However, the skill level is still at the Great Success Realm."

"To reach the Perfection Level, a significant amount of time is still required."

Jiang Fan stroked his chin.

But now, his Soaring Snake Technique and Mixed Element Talisman Scripture have reached the Perfection Level and reached their pinnacle.

Upon becoming a True Immortal, there’s no such thing as cultivation techniques anymore.

The main practice for each Immortal is actually comprehending Immortal Techniques and laws.

Only by mastering as many laws as possible can one’s cultivation make further progress.

If one cannot master the laws, no matter how long the years spent, it will all be in vain.

In the Immortal Realm, many Immortals are standing still, unable to make any progress despite countless years passing.

"Master, the cultivation of a True Immortal is actually very simple, which is to comprehend laws."

"Once you master forty-nine laws, you can break through to the Earth Immortal level."

The Immortal Artifact, Heaven-Stealing Ladder, spoke.

It knew its master was just a Mortal Cultivator and not very familiar with the cultivation in the Immortal Realm.

But it was different. Being one of the Thirty-Three Celestial Immortal Artifacts, it was incredibly well-versed in cultivation below the Immortal King.

Guiding a True Immortal in cultivation is a child’s play.

"Oh, now that I have mastered a hundred and eighty laws, doesn’t it mean I can advance to Earth Immortal?"

Jiang Fan raised his eyebrow.

"That’s correct. You have indeed cleared a considerable obstacle for advancing to Earth Immortal by mastering so many laws ahead of time."

"But that’s not enough."

"It requires you to devour a large number of resources to expand the inner space of the Dao Seed."

"Once it expands to a certain extent and successfully opens up an inner world, you will naturally advance to Earth Immortal."

"Every Earth Immortal possesses an inner world."

"The energy they control is incomparable to a True Immortal."

"If True Immortals are merely soldiers of the Immortal Realm, then Earth Immortals are considered officers."

"Even within the Immortal Realm, Earth Immortals have a certain level of status."

The Immortal Artifact, Heaven-Stealing Ladder, explained.

It was extremely surprised by Jiang Fan’s ability to master a hundred and eighty laws right upon advancing to True Immortal, which seemed like a miracle.

An ordinary True Immortal mastering a dozen laws would be considered an unparalleled prodigy.

Most True Immortals have to spend long years to master forty-nine laws.

Many True Immortals can’t even reach the threshold for advancing to Earth Immortal in their lifetime.

"Why does one need to master so many laws to become a True Immortal?"

Jiang Fan asked curiously.

"The reason is simple, to establish an inner world."

"The Dao Seed inside your body should be nurturing a Lifebound Immortal Technique."

"This Lifebound Immortal Technique will form a Dao Tree within the Dao Seed."

"The more Heaven and Earth laws you comprehend, the more the Dao Tree will strengthen and produce more roots and branches."

"These roots and branches will form the law structure of a Pocket World."

"Like building a house, it requires a sturdy structure to be constructed; otherwise, it will collapse."

"So does the inner Pocket World, which at least requires forty-nine kinds of laws to form a sturdy Pocket World framework. Otherwise, if you forcefully construct it, it will lead to world collapse, resulting in death and the Dao disappearing."

"In a certain sense, the cultivation of a True Immortal is also about refining the Lifebound Immortal Technique, allowing the internal Lifebound Immortal Technique to continually grow, which will continuously enhance one’s cultivation."

The Immortal Artifact, Heaven-Stealing Claw, spoke, detailing the cultivation process of a True Immortal.

Clearly, the Lifebound Immortal Technique is crucial for Immortals.

Immortals must continually refine their Lifebound Immortal Technique, as the technique is their foundation.

"But if that’s the case, why do Immortals need to learn other Immortal Techniques?"

"Simply refining one’s Lifebound Immortal Technique, doesn’t that suffice?"

Jiang Fan stroked his chin.

"Normally, indeed refining one’s Lifebound Immortal Technique is sufficient."

"But not every Immortal possesses outstanding perception."

"Ordinary Immortals, even if they obtain a Lifebound Immortal Technique, cannot elevate it to a higher level. Once unable to improve, their cultivation won’t progress."

"This is why many Immortals in the Immortal Realm need to learn high-tier Immortal Techniques to enhance their cultivation and law comprehension."

"After all, these high-tier Immortal Techniques were created by Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, Golden Immortals, and even Immortal Kings."

"These techniques inherently contain the mysteries of laws."

"Once thoroughly mastered, it’s equivalent to comprehending numerous Heaven and Earth laws."

"So rather than wasting vast amounts of time deducing the Lifebound Immortal Technique, stagnating one’s cultivation, it’s better to directly learn these high-tier Immortal Techniques for faster progress."

The Immortal Artifact, Heaven-Stealing Ladder, said.

Undoubtedly, many Immortals in the Immortal Realm naturally understand that continuously refining their Lifebound Immortal Technique is the best choice.

The problem is they lack the perception and wisdom needed to deduce their Lifebound Immortal Technique to the highest realm. Rather than blindly attempting deductions, it’s better to directly imitate and learn other high-tier Immortal Techniques.

To some extent, it’s considered a shortcut to advancing one’s cultivation.

"But won’t doing this lead to being influenced by these high-tier Immortal Techniques?"

Jiang Fan frowned, immediately realizing the side effects of this approach.

Constantly imitating and learning other Immortals’ techniques will definitely lead to being influenced by the other Immortals’ Dao, and eventually, it becomes difficult to escape the influence of their Dao.

This means these Immortals will likely find it hard to surpass their predecessors.

Clearly, it’s "Those who learn from me will live, those who resemble me will die."

"Yes, this indeed is a shortcut for comprehending laws, and inherently comes with significant side effects."

"For ordinary Immortals, this method is the best for advancing their cultivation."

"Because according to the normal situation, True Immortal is likely their limit; advancing to Earth Immortal is basically impossible."

"But learning high-tier Immortal Techniques provides the chance to become Earth Immortal, or even Heavenly Immortal."

"As for surpassing the creators of high-tier Immortal Techniques, there’s no necessity. Not everyone can reach the highest realm, although there is a way to remedy this side effect."

"If a remarkable prodigy can escape the influence of Immortal Techniques, they can create techniques that surpass their predecessors. However, such individuals are few and far between."

The Immortal Artifact, Heaven-Stealing Ladder, said.

"I see."

Jiang Fan nodded in understanding.

He immediately understood why high-tier Immortals spread their techniques.

As Immortals, most of them are selfish and self-serving, and none are wholly selfless.

The reason for spreading techniques is to strengthen the power of their Dao.

The more Immortals learn this Dao, the more formidable the Dao becomes.

Also, it makes it harder for successors to surpass them.

Thus, these high-tier Immortals will forever remain the masters of this Dao, holding supreme power.

Of course, there are those who intend to continuously refine their Lifebound Immortal Technique, unwilling to learn other techniques.

But this path is destined to be incredibly challenging.

Not everyone can achieve it.

"Hmm? It seems there’s a True Immortal nearby eyeing this place."

"Actually trying to kill me?"

At this moment, Jiang Fan’s heart stirred; he sensed that a Human Race True Immortal was stealthily hiding a million kilometers away.

The opponent struck out instantly, launching an attack towards him, emanating terrifying killing intent.
