Chapter 880: Three-Colored Ninth-Grade Merit Lotus Platform (1)
Time seemed to have passed especially quickly.
The former Fengdu City Lord was swift and decisive, be it cultivation, training, or facing challenges one after another.
He did not waste any time. He seized every opportunity to become stronger, stronger, and even stronger.
At that time, he did not have any time to waste.
As a result, other than the period of cultivation in the 18 levels of hell, in just a few years, he went from a mortal to an immortal.
If it was anyone else, the outer sect disciples who had entered the Scripture Storage Valley with him would probably still be bitterly cultivating at the Qi Refinement realm.
Although the main reason for this difference was his cheat status panel, it was also related to his own hard work.
Now, Jiang Li’s cultivation had reached the peak of the current cultivation world.
Without the threat of danger that enveloped the world, Jiang Li was gradually not so anxious, and he slowed down his rhythm.
Gradually, he focused all his attention on the so-called main business.
He slowly developed the mentality of living in the world and enjoying life.
Previously, it had taken him two years to move the thirteen stations of the Netherworld. In fact, if he focused on operating them, it would not have taken so long.
That was mainly because he had been slacking for a long time.
Every time he moved back a Netherworld fragment, he would bring Shenshan Qiuhua out to sightsee for a period of time.
They would also go help Qin Shuman, Concubine Yun, Tu Mountain’s Wu Ya, and other female Earth Immortals cultivate for free, adding a few experts to the Nine Provinces.
The efficiency naturally slowed down.
Jiang Li took a full ten years to pull this last piece of the Netherworld.
In these ten years, he worked six hours a day and five days a week.
He even found a little of the feeling of working in his previous life.
From time to time, he would take leave and give himself a vacation.
In the past, he had always wanted to cultivate and become stronger, but he had never properly admired this magical cultivation world.
Only now that the world was over did he calm down and take a good look at everything in this world.
To be honest, the Nine Provinces were as beautiful as a painting. There were wonders that could not be seen in his previous life everywhere.
Coupled with the fact that annoying traffic was not convenient, countless different cultures were born everywhere.
With his current cultivation, he could casually descend from the clouds in one direction. After landing on the ground, he could experience different local customs.
In these ten years, other than traveling the Nine Provinces, Jiang Li and Gallonfran also made detailed guesses and research on the 21 immortals, including himself, through references to ancient books.
He also roughly divided a hierarchy for the immortals after the Cultivationless Age. This was how the later generations should advance after becoming immortals. It also explored a new path for himself.
It was very, very difficult.
The Immortals and Gods after the Cultivationless Age could currently be roughly divided into Spirit Immortals, Essence Immortals, True Immortals, Mystic Immortals, and Heaven Immortals. Some people had already successfully reached the confirmed level.
Apart from that, there were also Golden Immortals, Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. These three were still conjectured realms that could be reached.
These were only the eight major realms after becoming an immortal.
Compared to the six cultivation realms before Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, and Earth Immortal, there were two more.
However, strictly speaking, Spirit Immortals and Essence Immortals should be on the same level.
They were all at the peak of mortals. After successfully breaking through, they would reach this level.
However, according to their own foundation, aptitude, strength, merit, and other situations, the outcome after becoming an immortal would naturally be greatly different.
As for the difference between the Spirit Immortal and the Essence Immortal, it was that after transcending the mortal realm and becoming an immortal, would they have that bit of immortal qi in the body that was unique to the person and could completely unleash their strength?
Up until now, there were a total of 21 people who had reached the immortal realm after the Cultivationless Age, including Jiang Li.
On the other hand, the only person who had truly reached the Essence Immortal realm was the current Human Emperor, Jiang Li.
The other 20, be it Jiang Li’s three Hall Masters, his clay figurine clone, or the six Water Gods and ten Yama Kings who had survived since ancient times, only had immortal qi that corresponded to their attributes in their bodies.
They did not have the kind of immortal essence that combined one’s strength.
That was probably because the conditions for producing immortal essence were too harsh.
Before becoming an immortal, he had to cultivate an Immortal Body without the help of immortal qi and condense his own immortal qi.
After this unique immortal spiritual qi followed a cultivator to transcend mortality and become an immortal, it would transform into immortal essence.
They did not know if such a stream of immortal essence had a deeper meaning.
However, its powerful effect was already obvious.
Jiang Li’s strand of immortal essence had perfectly fused with hundreds of completely different forces like the Human Emperor, the Nine Nether, the Dragon Race, the Blood Fiend, the Asura, the Dream Realm, and so on.
They were united and extremely powerful.
Once he used it, even if he suppressed his cultivation, he could easily crush immortals of the same level or even beat up immortals of a higher realm.
