It turns out that even as the third-in-command of the chat group, without access to the core of the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk, the highest level of information one can query is limited to intermediate confidentiality.
Fortunately, due to having the authority to evaluate the combat strength of group members, details about the stages of immortal cultivation and combat power assessment standards fall within the accessible range.
With a thought, Chen Yi immediately retrieved and reviewed the relevant materials.
[Intermediate Confidential Data: Detailed Explanation of Immortal Cultivation Stages and Combat Power Assessment Standards.]
[False Immortal Realm: Also known as the Spirit Immortal Realm, it refers to cultivators breaking through the limits of mortality, refining an immortal body, and forming a self-sustaining cycle of spiritual essence, freeing themselves from the constraints of heaven and earth's spiritual energy.]
[Combat Power Range: 1 billion to 2 billion.]
[True Immortal Realm: Building upon the False Immortal Realm, it involves nurturing laws and condensing the self-sustaining cycle within the immortal body into a domain of the Dao. As long as the cultivated Dao remains unbroken, the self endures eternally.]
[Combat Power Range: Above 2 billion, below 10 billion.]
[Heavenly Immortal Realm: Expanding upon the True Immortal Realm, it involves releasing the inner Dao domain to create a world, refining myriad laws. Where the domain reaches, words become law.]
[Combat Power Range: Above 20 billion, below 50 billion.]
[Mystic Immortal Realm: The hallmark of this stage is the transformation of one's Dao domain into a miniature universe, replacing the will of heaven with one's own. However, if the Dao heart is unstable, one can easily lose themselves, falling into an unknown and ominous state.]
[Combat Power Range: 0 to 100 billion, varying case by case.]
[Golden Immortal Realm: One's will is engraved upon the river of time, connecting past and future, allowing observation of future possibilities to make optimal choices.]
[Combat Power Range: 100 billion to 300 billion.]

"Tsk..."
"So this is how immortals cultivate?"
"Then what have I been doing all these years?"
Chen Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The cultivation methods of the False Immortal Realm were already familiar to him. After all, the Purple Star Continent was once a False Immortal Realm, and ancient texts had survived, which he had used as a guide for his own cultivation.
Back then, the chat group didn't provide Immortal Essence Stones for cultivation, making it impossible to refine an immortal body. Fortunately, the Heavenly Tribulation kindly sponsored him with Violet Heaven Divine Thunder essence, allowing him to forge an unconventional Violet Thunder Body based on the immortal body template.
Apart from lacking the signature self-sustaining cycle of spiritual essence—and thus failing to achieve true immortality—it was comparable to an immortal body in all other aspects, especially in compatibility, which far exceeded the standards recorded in ancient texts!
This was precisely why he could continue his playful exchanges with the Heavenly Tribulation, constantly absorbing its power to strengthen himself.
Otherwise, his mortal body, still bound by the limits of mortality, wouldn't have been able to withstand much of the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder essence.
That said, Chen Yi's understanding of the False Immortal Realm aligned with the system's description—different paths, same destination.
But from the True Immortal Realm onward, things started to diverge!
Since the Purple Star Continent had no surviving records of such advanced cultivation, he had to rely on guesswork, trial and error, and learning from the Heavenly Tribulation, eventually forming his own... unorthodox theories?
Unorthodox, right?
After all, he had no idea how to condense his inner cycle into a Dao domain—because he had never even achieved the foundational self-sustaining cycle!
He simply clung to the Heavenly Tribulation, absorbing its power until he couldn't take any more, then retreated to reflect and consolidate his gains before returning for another round. This cycle repeated eighty-one times.
During this period, as his true body grew increasingly massive, the Purple Star Continent could no longer bear his presence, forcing him to retreat into the Illusory Star Cave Heaven. There, he used array formations to suppress himself and refined the excess Violet Heaven Divine Thunder essence into avatars, which acted in his stead in the mortal world.
He had even convinced himself that this was how immortals cultivated—that he was merely missing a harmless bit of immortal essence, easily remedied if given the chance.
But now, after seeing the official immortal cultivation outline, he realized how far off the mark he might have been.
It felt like everyone had started running from the same starting line, taking straight, wide roads, while he had veered off into a narrow, winding path—as if he had made some resolute decision and never looked back...
"Is this outline necessarily correct?"
"Didn't my unorthodox path still steadily increase my combat power?"
"What's the big deal about True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, Mystic Immortals, Golden Immortals, or whatever? They sound impressive, but their combat power maxes out at 300 billion, right?"
"Authority isn't always right, and my path isn't necessarily heretical. Strength can only be proven through battle!"
Chen Yi's thoughts were momentarily chaotic, but his Dao heart remained firm—unshaken by doubt.
After calming down, he slowly took out forty-eight colored orbs and suspended them above the immortal body avatar hosting the chat group's main system, then began analyzing.
"First, regardless of whether my true body's path is correct, at least my avatars are still walking the so-called orthodox path!"
"But right now, all avatars are still stuck in the False Immortal Realm, without nurturing laws or condensing their inner cycles into Dao domains... No good. With so many avatars, without control over the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk, there aren't enough resources to elevate them all simultaneously!"
"So for now, I’ll have to stick with the fusion and sublimation wildcard method. Currently, the highest I can synthesize is a Four-Star Immortal Body Avatar, with a combat power of 188.8 billion—roughly mid-tier Golden Immortal level?"
"But combat power aside, according to this outline, the defining trait of a Golden Immortal is engraving one’s will upon the river of time, observing future possibilities to make optimal choices... meaning foresight, evading danger, and seizing fortune?"
"That would mean their evasion and prediction abilities are maxed out. Add in the Heavenly Immortal’s law-manifesting external domain and the Mystic Immortal’s miniature universe... Overall, their offensive power might not be overwhelming, but their techniques are endless—probably extremely annoying to deal with..."
"Ah, I’d love to spar with a Golden Immortal and see whether their esoteric methods are stronger or if my Heavenly Tribulation-Shattering Halberd’s brute force prevails!"
"Too bad the top ten on the Peak Rankings are directly managed by the Primordial Chaos Creation Disk—I can’t command them. But the eleventh... Once maintenance is over, I’ll test just how deep the Heavenly Immortal Realm’s waters run!"
"Still, to mitigate unknown risks, I should first refine a Five-Star Avatar as backup."
Just as he was lost in thought, the door to the Illusory Star Cave Heaven was knocked.
From outside came the excited voice of the Purple Star Heaven’s Will.
"Brother Yi, may I come in?"
Hearing this, Chen Yi gathered his scattered thoughts, tossed the chat group-hosting immortal body avatar into the void turbulence, and slowly opened the door. "What is it?"
Whoosh—
In a flash, a radiant scroll floated in, accompanied by the rich, natural aura of the Purple Star Heaven’s Will.
"Brother Yi, I’ve created the Heavenly Dao Divine Rankings! Hurry up and release my thirty-one little darlings—don’t let them suffocate in there..."
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System."

y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation!

This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
