When a cultivator reaches the Life Spring Realm, they must comprehend the cycle of life and death, transforming their Divine Sea into a Life Spring that can prolong life. Within the Life Spring, the soul is refined into a tangible entity—a spiritual infant with life, capable of soul projection, possession, and seizing bodies. As long as the primordial spirit remains, life cannot be extinguished; even if the physical body is destroyed, one can seize another body and be reborn. With the power to move mountains and overturn seas, such individuals are called high-level cultivators, or “Human Immortals,” meaning the ultimate achievement in cultivation.
Cultivators at the Life Spring Realm are already the most powerful high-level cultivators on the Ancient Wilderness Continent. Those who reach the Life Spring Realm are extremely rare in the world.
In his previous life, Chad Grant reached the Primordial Spirit stage of the Life Spring Realm, making him one of the top great cultivators on the Ancient Wilderness Continent.
As for the Crossing the Void, Heavenly Tribulation, and True Immortal Realms, these belong to the domain of immortals.
Since ancient times, there has never been a single True Immortal on the Ancient Wilderness Continent. Whether the True Immortal Realm is the end of the cultivation path or a new beginning, no one knows.
Immortals of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm defy the will of heaven and contend with fate. They are called Celestial Immortals, also known as Golden Immortals or Mysterious Immortals, existing only in ancient legends. Because of the differing legends, even the title for immortals of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm is divided into Celestial Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Mysterious Immortal. Whether these ancient legends are merely myths created by humans or if such fate-defying immortals truly exist, cultivators each have their own opinions and there is no consensus.
Immortals of the Crossing the Void Realm comprehend the laws and become one with heaven and earth, known as Earth Immortals. According to legend, Master Warren, the abbot of the Heavenly Zen Sect—one of the three great sacred lands of antiquity—and Earl James, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty and heir of the Hundred Saints Pavilion—another of the three great sacred lands—have both stepped into the Crossing the Void Realm and are called Earth Immortals, making them the two most supreme cultivators on the Ancient Wilderness Continent today.

The spiritual energy was slowly refined by Chad Grant into his own true qi, which was then transmitted through his meridians to every bone and muscle in his body, tempering them continuously. The true qi within Chad Grant was quite weak; the healing elixir used to treat Chad Grant’s injuries had already been half consumed. Although the remaining spiritual energy felt powerful to Chad Grant, in reality, there wasn’t much left.
Chad Grant was only at the second level of the Postnatal Realm, so his speed at refining spiritual energy was quite slow. However, as the true qi in his body gradually increased and spread to all his limbs and eight meridians, Chad Grant could clearly feel his bones, muscles, and flesh growing stronger, and his strength increasing.
Suddenly, like a flood breaking through a dam, a smooth sensation erupted from Chad Grant’s heart and instantly spread throughout his body. Chad Grant felt his whole body become warm and comfortable, as if he were soaking in a spiritual spring.
Postnatal Realm, third level…
Chad Grant’s eyes lit up. Under the tempering of that mass of spiritual energy, his cultivation had actually advanced by a whole level in just this short time, reaching the third level of the Postnatal Realm.
Although he had anticipated this, the advancement in cultivation still brought an indescribable joy to Chad Grant’s heart.
In this life, he possessed supreme cultivation techniques and knew many methods to rapidly advance through different realms. Coupled with his status as a master alchemist, he was determined to soar in the cultivation world and would never let the regrets of his previous life happen again.
A confidence he had never felt before surged from Chad Grant’s heart. In this life: whoever dares to plot against the Gu family—kill…
Whoever dares to disrespect my father—kill…
Whoever dares to dishonor my master—kill…
Whoever dares to slight my senior sister—kill…
Even if it’s the peerless genius Gavin Clark, who appears only once in a thousand years on the Ancient Wilderness Continent, Chad Grant has absolute confidence: kill…
Chad Grant stood up. With his cultivation suddenly rising from the second to the third level of the Postnatal Realm, he felt his whole body brimming with power, with nowhere to vent it.
He took the powerful bow from the wall and easily drew it to a full moon, then released it. He drew it to a full moon again, and repeated this over twenty times before finally feeling a bit of fatigue and hanging the bow back on the wall.
This was a nanmu bow with a strength of two stones. When Chad Grant was at the second level of the Postnatal Realm, he only had the strength of two stones and could barely draw this bow five times at full strength. Now, he had drawn it over twenty times in one go. Although his strength had only increased by one stone, the number of times he could draw the bow had nearly quintupled.
After putting down the powerful bow, Chad Grant still felt he had energy to spare, so he immediately walked out of the room and began practicing a set of fist techniques in the courtyard. Chad Grant’s fists moved with great force, his eyes wide open, and every punch carried an unstoppable momentum, as if a war god had descended to the world.
This set of fist techniques was the Buddhist Great Strength Vajra Fist, the most effective technique in the Postnatal Realm among all cultivation methods. Although the Ding Tian Technique was a supreme method, the Tai Xu Palace was a Daoist holy land. The Buddhist path focuses on strengthening the physical body, claiming to become a Buddha and transcending between heaven and earth through one’s own power. The Daoist path emphasizes breathing techniques, borrowing the qi of heaven and earth to transform into boundless magical power and merging with the universe.
Buddhism emphasizes the external, Daoism the internal. The Postnatal Realm is mainly about body refinement. In comparison, Buddhist techniques have an edge over Daoist ones. The Ding Tian Technique only reveals its true power in the later stages of cultivation, living up to its name as a supreme method. In the early stages, however, it is inferior to Buddhist techniques.
In his previous life, Chad Grant was a high-level cultivator at the Life Spring Realm and also a master alchemist. Whether by seizing them himself or receiving them as gifts from those seeking pills, he possessed countless cultivation techniques from the Postnatal Realm to the Life Spring Realm, many of which were the best in the world for their respective realms. In this life, he would never have to worry about lacking cultivation methods.
