Up to this day, even though the Divine Land World has discovered countless worlds and numerous cultivation systems, the system of the Divine Land World remains the benchmark.
Because of the might of the Divine Land World, all other worlds unconsciously become influenced and gravitate towards the cultivation system of the Divine Land World after encountering it.
Mortal, Spirit, Immortal, and the true Detachment Realm proposed by Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing—these four major realms have essentially become the Cultivation Realms across the entire Chaotic Void Heavens and Seas.
Setting aside the Mortal Realm, entering the Spirit Realm is considered truly stepping into the realm of cultivation, where the transformation is a transcendence beyond the ordinary, leading to an almost immortal existence upon entering the Immortal Path.
Spirit Realm Ninth Layer Heaven, ascending with each step, was a popular saying once circulated within the Divine Land World, used to describe the difficult transformation in Spirit Realm cultivation.
However, this saying arose from the initially low stature of the Divine Land World and the suppression of its binding Heaven and Earth which has eased over time as the Divine Land World advanced, simplifying cultivation in the Spirit Realm. For most cultivators, even those of average innate talent, the only genuine obstacle remains the threshold of the Ninth Layer Heaven.
Later on, as Heaven and Earth advanced and Essence Qi from Heaven and Earth became abundant, living beings from the moment of birth would be nourished by the Essence Qi, generally greatly likely to reach Spirit Realm Ninth Layer Heaven and start attempting to certify as a True Immortal.
Thus, with further developments, the true phase described as ascending with each step is no longer Spirit Realm cultivation but instead Immortal Path Cultivation.
True Immortal Ninth Layer, starting from certifying as True Immortal, is an evolutionary stage of life, regardless of which of the five paths within Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost one certifies immortality through, they engage in the triad of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Concerning certifying as a True Immortal, their different paths of certification are transformations in their physical bodies, Primordial Qi and Mana, and Divine Soul.
And each breakthrough in every Heaven layer, even when solely cultivating one path, invokes nourishment to the other two paths, continually boosting their overall lower limits.
There may be weaknesses in True Immortal First Layer Heaven, but by the time one reaches True Immortal Second Layer Heaven, those weaknesses are no match even for a Supreme Overlord.
Yu Zhenzi, now at the realm of True Immortal Sixth Heaven, though not certifying in the same five paths as Pei Xuanjing, has also cultivated three paths to certification as a True Immortal using the resources of the Shenxiao Sect.
It can be said that though none of the paths reached the state of True Immortal Seventh Heaven, the certification in three paths has balanced his Essence, Qi, and Spirit without any shortcomings, maintaining an extremely balanced state.
Together with his own Immortal Artifacts and powerful divine skills, he stands as one of the strongest existences below the level of Taoist Monarchs, and even if Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder were to make a move, the odds of victory could very well favor Yu Zhenzi.
Yu Zhenzi usually keeps a low profile, plus being an Elder of the Shenxiao Sect, he seldom faces challenges or needs to reveal his hand.
This confidence underlies his casual curiosity towards the Great Formation of the Witch Deity Teaching, believing it to be just so-so. Regardless of its power, it doesn't concern him much.
In step with the times, old doesn't necessarily mean powerful; the human race's arrays might have been formidable initially.
But after countless years of evolution, the human race has innovated in arrays and divine skills, rendering the old either outdated or backward.
In this era, the once mighty divine skills have been repeatedly evolved and improved, particularly with the emergence of the Taoist Academy, thoroughly toppling the old conservative schools.
"Heavenly Impulses are not to be feared, nor are the customs of ancestors to be followed." This saying has deeply imprinted itself in the hearts of all cultivators, nothing is immutable, the only constancy in this world is change itself.
Like a roaring river, the great era moves on, there's no need to deliberately target those who are outdated, as necessity drives people to seek better methods. When they realize their cultivation skills are inferior, they seek change and better opportunities, trying to adopt new teachings.
As for those rigid cultivators who refuse to adapt, when competing and persisting without changing, they cannot escape falling behind, ultimately unable to garner more resources, gather disciples, and thus are overturned by the current of the times.
Yu Zhenzi has never been a conservative individual; as a member of the Shenxiao Sect, he particularly champions advancement since the entire Sect is itself a newcomer that shapes the trends, leaving no room for the conservatives.
This also reflects his thoughts on the inheritance array of the Witch Deity Teaching; even if the same grand array provided support to a Supreme Overlord, if a True Immortal, let alone a Taoist Monarch, were to preside over the grand array, the obtained support would definitely not be the same.
"Twelve Capital Heavenly God Array, the grand array of the Witch Deity Teaching." Pei Xuanjing, after pondering Yu Zhenzi's words, spoke.
About this array's name, he also was familiar, and after his incarnate became the Ancestral Witch Qiang Liang, he naturally received many secretive details about the Witch Deity Teaching.
The twelve Ancestor Witches of the Witch Deity Teaching serve as the core, each Ancestor Witch is a wielder within the teaching, and achieving the Ancestral Witch Venerable Position grants access to all details of the Witch Deity Teaching.
