Normally, to complete the target mission in a round of Death Fighter duels, the "node" might not be absolutely necessary, but it greatly assists in achieving the goal.

Lv Bai acquired the "node" earlier this time.

However, after acquiring the "node" of this cultivation world, he merely used a bit of the Immortal Dao Flower’s naturally emitted immortal aura to stabilize his primordial spirit which was full of cracks, without conducting any deep research on the Immortal Dao Flower.

He utilized his divine sense for introspection, staring at the Immortal Dao Flower rooted in his primordial spirit, lost in thought.

This Immortal Dao Flower is indeed useful, especially with the marvelous properties of immortal aura, which is a higher level of energy compared to heaven and earth spiritual qi.

Healing injuries, breaking realms, washing marrow and cutting meridians, improving mana quality, etc., even if it’s the least, inhaling a breath of immortal aura every day can extend one’s lifespan.

Yet, the problem is that for cultivators beyond the Integration Stage, these effects are practically useless.

At such a realm, one is almost considered to possess a purity body; the effects of immortal aura could easily be achieved by such great powers.

Lv Bai researched for a while and found that the only thing the Immortal Dao Flower could provide for Mahayana Stage cultivators was the insight into the Immortal Dao through its emitted immortal aura.

"Better than nothing, I suppose."

Lv Bai had some actual experience; there were some insights, but in his opinion, they were not significant.

After all, with his talent, the path to immortality was smooth.

If he had withstood the nine layers of celestial tribulation of becoming immortal at that time, he would probably have already ascended to the celestial realm.

This speed of insight, which isn’t much faster than a snail’s crawl, truly doesn’t interest him.

...Wait a minute.

Looking at the Immortal Dao Flower continually emitting immortal aura, Lv Bai’s thoughts suddenly took a turn.

He suddenly realized that perhaps this thing doesn’t necessarily have to be used by himself?

Indeed, the speed of insight through immortal aura isn’t considered fast, belonging to the category of gradual effort.

According to this progression, one must gather insights over years and extend the timeline to a millennium to have a noticeable improvement.

Lv Bai, who ascended directly to the Mahayana Stage in less than two years of cultivation, wasn’t surprised to disdain this slow method.

But the key is, this is a cultivation world.

Those Elders and famous figures in the Divinity Transformation and Mahayana stages spent hundreds, even thousands of years achieving such remarkable cultivation.

Mahayana cultivators retreat for hundreds of years not uncommon; at such a realm, even a negligible advancement in cultivation could declare a successful retreat.

Not to mention gaining insights into the Immortal Dao, which will definitely bring improvement.

If Lv Bai were to offer this opportunity for insight, the Elders and celebrated figures from various Immortal Sects would definitely scramble and fight for it.

Leaving aside exceptions like Lv Bai, for other Mahayana Stage cultivators, having a chance to glimpse the greater path could never object to a mere thousand years of time.

Thinking this, Lv Bai’s expression gradually became peculiar.

Worth noting is that the heaven and earth spiritual qi of this cultivation world is consistently declining.

Even if Lv Bai didn’t conduct sweeping modifications to the social structure, the future scenario he previously saw using the Great Derivation Immortal Technique would still occur, sooner or later.

The cultivation path flourishing based on heaven and earth spiritual qi naturally falls into decline with the reduction in spiritual qi density.

Rise and fall, the alternation of extremes, precisely matching the principles of yin and yang.

However, the world’s change occurs in units of a hundred thousand years; even Mahayana Stage cultivators can’t live that long.

In fact, the indications are already present.

Lv Bai understood that during the most vibrant periods of cultivation, almost every Immortal Sect had Mahayana Stage Supreme Elders sitting in wait, with news of Supreme Elders or Loose Cultivators passing the Immortal Tribulation and ascending in daylight heard every decade.

Nowadays, only a scant few Holy Lands and top Great Teachings have Mahayana Stage cultivators as their foundation; regarding ascension to immortality, it’s been over a thousand years since it last occurred.

Under these premises, the Immortal Dao Flower guarantees that as long as the heaven and earth spiritual qi can support, its owner will steadily improve, until transforming from mortal to immortal.

A way to immortality that can be reached as long as one works hard holds immense importance for these cultivators, truly beyond words.

"So, isn’t this ’node’ meant to aid Death Fighters, but a carrot dangling in front of a donkey?"

...

Ultimately, this Immortal Dao Flower originated from Lv Bai, and he has the freedom to decide what to do with it.

Although not verified in reality, he somehow knows that as long as he wishes, he can pass the Immortal Dao Flower to others.

Aside from this, as the first holder, he still can leave his mark on the Immortal Dao Flower.

In other words, he can totally use the Immortal Dao Flower to pass on his will.

Previously, he kept thinking about how to adjust the system to ensure the laws wouldn’t fade away as time passes.

Unfortunately, the dark side of human nature doesn’t disappear due to cultivating; any system is bound to decay one day.

Compared to relying on people’s internal morals for maintenance, sufficient interests can last longer.

Lv Bai took out the Immortal Dao Flower attached to his primordial spirit.

Watching the Immortal Dao Flower floating in his palm, emitting radiant colors, he felt a dramatic sensation of seeking answers across the world but already holding them.

He didn’t need too many restrictions, just selection criteria for the users.

Being rigorous, he simply needed one rule: As soon as the owner commits acts against the law, the Immortal Dao Flower will conceal its divine attributes.

When the heaven and earth spiritual qi density further decreases, the Immortal Dao Flower becomes the sole path to immortality; no cultivator would abandon it.

Ultimately, the aim of cultivation is to become immortal.

In other words, in the future, no matter the true intentions of cultivators owning the Immortal Dao Flower, they can only be compelled to become saints mindful of all.

Anyway, in this regard, it’s about intentions rather than actions,

Hence, it neither selects based on disposition nor talent.

After all, the effects of immortal aura are sufficiently powerful at lower cultivation, washing marrow and cutting meridians, breaking realms with the aid of immortal aura like drinking water, basically ensuring the owner’s combat potency ranks in the first tier, or even the strongest of the era.

Moreover, after becoming immortal, staying in the mortal world is no longer possible,

Perhaps, ultimately, it’s still impossible to guarantee that such unique cultivation system remains eternal.

But this positive cycle is indeed enough to be sustained for a long time.
