"From now on, come here every three days for a lesson. I'll teach you how to cultivate and guide you in your improvement. Besides that, our Celestial Spirit Hall has three Trial Grounds — you should familiarize yourselves with them as well," said Revered Crimson Spirit.

"Cultivating from the Earth Fate Realm to the Heavenly Fate Realm is a process of merging with the power of the Heavenly Dao and attuning yourself to it. All living beings exist between heaven and earth, and just like every other creation of the world, they are formed by the condensation of the Heavenly Dao's power…" Revered Crimson Spirit spoke at length, explaining everything in meticulous detail.

Everyone listened intently, and even perked up his ears.

However, what Revered Crimson Spirit was teaching was far too basic for . Nie Li considered his current situation — the Earth Fate Realm, much like the Legendary Realm, was divided into five stars. He was currently at the three-star stage, still quite a distance from the Heavenly Fate Realm.

But ever since arriving in the Dragon Ruins Domain, the power within Nie Li's body had gradually transformed from the power of Laws into the power of the Heavenly Dao.

The power of the Heavenly Dao, like the power of Laws, was categorized into elements such as ice, fire, thunder, lightning, space, and time — except the power of the Heavenly Dao constituted the most fundamental force underlying all things.

At the same time, Nie Li continued to cultivate the Heavenly Dao Divine Art, nourishing that mysterious vine within his Soul Sea.

Revered Crimson Spirit's lesson lasted two hours, progressing from simple to complex. The realms he described left many students filled with longing.

"Nie Li, when it comes to cultivating the second life, third life, and so on in the Heavenly Fate Realm — can you really have that many lives?" Lu Piao couldn't help but whisper to Nie Li. How could a person possibly die that many times?

"In truth, the second life and third life don't mean you literally have two or three lives. Instead, you condense multiple Fate Souls within your Soul Sea. These Fate Souls can be entrusted to a specific place, and as long as a Fate Soul isn't destroyed, you can be revived. Additionally, you can't stray more than a thousand li from your Fate Soul," Nie Li explained.

"I get it — so wherever you store your Fate Soul, if you die, you can use it to revive again, right?"

"Exactly. Each time you're killed, you lose one Fate Soul. For example, at the third life, if you're killed, you'll fall back to the second life stage," Nie Li said. "Once you reach the Heavenly Fate Realm, if you want to venture somewhere dangerous, you should attach your Fate Soul to a safe location beforehand. Otherwise, if you're killed, there's no way to revive."

Lu Piao understood now. So that was how it worked. No wonder the Celestial Spirit Hall's rules required students to reach the Heavenly Fate Realm before they could venture outside — and before leaving, they had to entrust their Fate Souls to the academy's . That way, unless the Celestial Spirit Hall itself was breached, no student would normally be killed while out.

After all, everyone who entered the Celestial Spirit Hall was a genius from various cities and small worlds. Losing any one of them would be a tremendous waste.

In the distance, glanced over at Nie Li and Lu Piao, who were whispering to each other. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes. Before coming here, Young Master had instructed him to keep a close watch on Nie Li and Lu Piao, and to find an opportunity to teach them a lesson.

Within the Divine Feather Sect, people from various locations and families had formed their own factions — sharing in each other's glory and each other's downfall. Hua Ling's father and 's father were still competing for the position of Outer Sect Chief Overseer. As someone from the Small Heavenly Origin World, Wang Yang naturally took Hua Ling's instructions very seriously.

Within the Divine Feather Sect, there were at least several thousand powerful individuals from the Small Heavenly Origin World, whereas from the Small Linglong World, there were only a handful — including only Xiao Yu, the ruler of the Nether Domain, and a few others.

Nie Li, with his eighth-grade Heavenly Spirit Root, and Lu Piao, with his fifth-grade Heavenly Spirit Root, both posed enormous pressure on Wang Yang.

"But how could I possibly lose to the likes of you?" Wang Yang thought coldly. As someone from the Small Heavenly Origin World, the resources available to him far exceeded what Nie Li could ever obtain.

Revered Crimson Spirit continued his explanation, gradually steering the topic back. "I've explained quite a lot, and you may not be able to absorb it all at once. Next, we'll spend some time cultivating. At the Earth Fate Realm, managing to produce something useful will be immensely beneficial when you later attempt to break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm. But if you can't produce anything, don't push yourselves too hard."

Revered Crimson Spirit's gaze swept over the green-robed young woman and several others. A faint smile touched the corners of his lips. These few would surely be able to accomplish it.

Out of thirty-six geniuses with Heavenly Spirit Roots, if even ten of them could manage it, that would already be impressive. And the faster they succeeded, the greater their future achievements would be.

"The first thing we're going to cultivate is the Spirit Flame," Revered Crimson Spirit said. He slowly extended his right hand, palm facing upward. A moment later, a white flame ignited in the center of his palm. "This is the Spirit Flame. To condense the Spirit Flame, you must first bring your Soul Sea to a state of absolute emptiness and focus your consciousness into your right palm…"

As time passed, the white flame in Revered Crimson Spirit's hand grew from a mere flicker to something the size of a fist.

"The stronger the Spirit Flame, the stronger your soul. And the stronger your soul, the more powerful the Fate Souls you'll be able to condense when you break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm," Revered Crimson Spirit said with a slight smile. "Now then, you may begin sensing the Spirit Flame."
