255: The Law of the Ten Realms

Li Qi grew excited when he heard that Phoenix Lord had a solution: "Phoenix Lord, please enlighten me."

The Phoenix Lord then slowly explained.

"The ultimate number of heaven and earth begins with one and ends with nine."

"Nine is the extreme of numbers; it inherently represents the pinnacle and end of everything. If someone could truly Breakthrough the limit of nine... the greatest possibility is that he would revert to zero, returning to his Origin."

Li Qi was completely bewildered by this explanation, and he looked confused: "Phoenix Lord... I still don't quite understand what you mean."

The Phoenix Lord chuckled softly and slowly said: "It's simple. Let me explain it in the most straightforward way..."

"Once you Breakthrough the limit of nine and attempt to enter the unimaginable Realm of 'ten realms'... you will surely be rejected by heaven and earth!"

"At that time, terrifying Heavenly Dao will inevitably descend, either world-destroying divine lightning or annihilating divine light, which will surely reduce you to dust and turn you into nothingness... This is what I mean by returning to zero."

Li Qi's eyelids twitched, and he inwardly exclaimed, 'Good heavens!'

It truly was a physical return to zero...

To have Heavenly Dao descend and be blasted into nothingness... wasn't that returning to zero?

Who would dare to attempt to Breakthrough the Realm of "ten realms"?

Seeing Li Qi's conflicted expression, the Phoenix Lord smiled: "So that's the situation. Breaking through to the 'ten realms' is by no means easy."

"A slight misstep, and you will perish and your Dao will vanish!"

Li Qi then asked about the crucial point: "Then how exactly should one Breakthrough the 'ten realms'?"

The Phoenix Lord's eyes curved, and she chuckled softly: "As long as you can accomplish two things, you will be able to Breakthrough the ten realms."

"Seeking life in death... and Nine Worlds Unification Method."

Li Qi cupped his hands, asking the Phoenix Lord to continue explaining.

"Seeking life in death is simple. The Heavenly Dao will never permit the existence of a ten realms-level being, because that is a truly Heaven-Defying individual."

"Once someone attempts to do so, Heavenly Dao will inevitably descend, reducing them to dust... But this situation is not entirely unavoidable."

"If you are already dead, if you do not exist in this world... then how could Heavenly Dao descend?"

"Heaven and earth will not kill a person who is already dead again. Heaven and earth will not punish a person who does not exist. As long as you can make heaven and earth believe you are dead... that will suffice."

"This is a method of deceiving the heavens."

Upon hearing the Phoenix Lord say this, a flash of lightning instantly streaked through Li Qi's mind, and he immediately grasped the key.

One had to admit... this truly was an ingenious method.

"Brilliant!"

"Absolutely brilliant!"

"It was I who was muddled; I should have thought of such a method long ago."

The Phoenix Lord, however, interrupted Li Qi, her expression very serious: "Knowing this method is secondary; the most crucial thing is... very few people can truly achieve this."

"The Heavenly Dao cannot be deceived, let alone the Heavenly Dao of this Upper Realm? Beings capable of deceiving the Heavenly Dao, of fooling the Heavenly Dao... are few, truly few."

"Perhaps you must truly die, and then attempt to Breakthrough the ten realms level after death... and then come back to life."

"This is simply not something a human can do!"

This was what the Phoenix Lord meant by seeking life in death; the difficulty was beyond imagination.

As the saying goes, when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out, and everything ceases... Who could continue to Breakthrough their original Realm after dying?

Simply absurd!!!

But Li Qi, at that instant, thought of several feasible methods... worth a try!

Li Qi showed no expression on his face, and he cupped his hands, continuing to ask: "May I know what the second thing you mentioned, this 'Nine Worlds Unification Method,' means?"

The Phoenix Lord did not conceal it and continued: "The understanding of Nine Worlds Unification Method is also very simple."

"The so-called 'ten realms' does not truly mean for you to open up a tenth world, but rather to achieve Nine Worlds Unification Method, merging the nine worlds into one ultimate world... This is the so-called 'tenth Realm'..."

Li Qi nodded; he no longer had any questions.

The Phoenix Lord had explained clearly enough: as long as one could accomplish both "seeking life in death" and "Nine Worlds Unification Method," one could reach the unprecedented "ten realms" level!

The Phoenix Lord raised her hand, and a yellowed book appeared in her hand, which she handed to Li Qi: "This is the Nine Worlds Unification Method, gifted by a close friend of mine, but unfortunately... he still failed when he tried to Breakthrough the ten realms back then."

"Looking back, that friend failed because he overlooked the point of 'seeking life in death,' which led to his failure."

Li Qi's eyes lit up, and he took the [Nine Worlds Unification Method], feeling joyful.

He had just been pondering how to create a method for the Fusion of nine Realms, but now there was a ready-made one, which saved him a lot of effort.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Phoenix Lord!"

"You and I need not speak of thanks. Now only the method of 'seeking life in death' remains, but unfortunately... I also do not possess such a method."

"From now on, you can only research this method on your own."

"Li Qi, you must remember, attempting to Breakthrough the ten realms is extremely dangerous... always act within your capabilities."
