In "Sword in the Snow", why would many extremely strong people rather die than choose to ascend?
First of all, we need to know that there are two necessary conditions for ascension. The first one must break through a product.
The cultivation system in the snow is the nine-grade system, the lowest of the nine grades and the highest of the first grade, and only by breaking through the first grade and entering the land fairy realm can you expect to soar to the immortal realm.
However, the martial artists of the rivers and lakes and the people of the three religions who practice "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism" have different advanced paths after entering the first grade.
The advanced path of Jianghu Wufu is to experience the Vajra Realm, which refers to the Xuan Realm and the Celestial Realm, and then integrate the first three realms to achieve land immortals.
And because the people in the three sects generally only cultivate a single realm, they cultivate their respective realms to the perfection of the saint realm, that is, the land immortals.
The difficulty of the advanced mode of one product and four realms of Jianghu martial arts is significantly higher than that of the people in the three religions, so in general, the combat power of the Jianghu martial artists is much stronger than that of the people in the three religions.
In the setting of the snow world, to enter the land fairyland, you must have the blessing of luck in the world. And the overall luck of the world is limited.
Therefore, there will also be a limit to the total number of land immortals. Only when someone in the previous batch of land immortals dies will a new land god be born.
For example, Chen Zhibao only entered the Confucian saint and became a land immortal after the death of the monk Nagarjuna.
There is also Xuanyuan Jingcheng, he has the state of mind of a Confucian saint, but he lacks the luck of Confucianism, even if he ascends to the realm of Confucianism, it is only a flash in the pan.
The second condition is that the gate of heaven between the two worlds of immortals can be opened by the people of the immortal realm on their own initiative, or the strong people in the world can break it by force. If the gate of heaven is not opened, even if you cultivate to the land fairy realm, you will not be able to ascend smoothly.
For example, Zhao Xuansu, the ancestor of Longhu Mountain, although he has long been a land immortal, he has the strength to cultivate himself, but it is not enough to open the gate of heaven from the outside.
That's why he plans to use the opportunity of others to open the gate of heaven when Wang Xianzhi and Li Chungang are fighting, and they will soar into immortals.
Cultivating to the Land Immortal Realm and opening the Heavenly Gate are two conditions indispensable.
And the strong people in the snow world, it is not easy to cultivate into the land immortal realm, and there are even fewer who can open the gate of heaven. This limits the success of many people to ascend.
There are three main categories of strong people who have the cultivation of land immortals and the strength to break through the gate of heaven, but choose not to ascend:
The first type, who has an obsession in their hearts and is unwilling to ascend to the immortal realm, is represented by Lu Zu, the young eunuch and Cao Changqing. They all have the two necessary conditions for ascension.
But they all have obsessions in their hearts and are concerned about the world, so they choose not to ascend. Lu Zu is waiting for that red dress, Cao Changqing is in order to correct the name of the love in his heart, the young eunuch and the Liyang Dynasty are together, and there is no way to let go of Liyang and ascend alone.
The second type, who has their own mission and is unwilling to soar, is represented by the first generation of Zhang family sages, Xu Fengnian and Li Yuaxe, Wang Xianzhi and Deng Tai'a.
The first generation of Zhang family saints lived for 800 years and did not ascend, just to guard the world and prevent immortals from mixing in the affairs of the world.
And Xu Fengnian and Li Yuaxe, Wang Xianzhi and Deng Tai'a, although they have different ways of blocking immortals, they are all preventing the loss of luck in the world. They gave up on ascension.
The third category, absolute people who don't want to soar, represented by Gao Shulu and Li Chungang.
Gao Shulu was the only one 400 years ago, who walked through the rivers and lakes with an invincible celestial posture, and he could have already ascended to the immortal realm.
But he is free in the world, he is used to living a carefree life and seeing through life and death, and for him, he has only obtained a dispensable infinite lifespan, but he has to be bound by the fairy world.
If he wants to go down to earth, he has to follow the Heavenly Dao to suppress the realm, which is not the result he wants. So he finally chose to give his body to Xu Fengnian and dissipate into the world. The same goes for Li Chungang.
